AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The demand for multimodal nanomaterials has intensified in recent years driven by the need for ultrasensitive bioimaging probes and accurate temperature monitoring in biological objects. Among the different multimodal nanomaterials that have been extensively studied in the past decade, upconverting nanoparticles are among the most promising. In this paper, we report the synthesis of upconverting nanoparticles with complex core-shell compositions, capable of being excited by 808 or 980 nm laser irradiation and exhibiting a good MRI response. The synthesized nanoparticles also demonstrated high colloidal stability in both aqueous and biological media as well as temperature-sensing capabilities, including the physiological range. Furthermore, the upconversion nanoparticles exhibited significantly lower cytotoxicity for HEK293T cells than the commercially available MRI contrast agent Gd-DTPA.

Shallow genome-wide cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing holds great promise for non-invasive cancer monitoring by providing reliable copy number alteration (CNA) and fragmentomic profiles. Single nucleotide variations (SNVs) are, however, much harder to identify with low sequencing depth due to sequencing errors. Here we present Nanopore Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA)-enhanced Consensus Sequencing (NanoRCS), which leverages RCA and consensus calling based on genome-wide long-read nanopore sequencing to enable simultaneous multimodal tumor fraction estimation through SNVs, CNAs, and fragmentomics.

Multimode luminescent materials exhibit tunable photon emissions under different excitation or stimuli channels, endowing them high encoding capacity and confidentiality for anti-counterfeiting and encryption. Achieving multimode luminescence into a stable single material presents a promising but remains a challenge. Here, the downshifting/upconversion emissions, color-tuning persistent luminescence (PersL), temperature-dependent multi-color emissions, and hydrochromism are integrated into Er ions doped CsNaYbCl nanocrystals (NCs) by leveraging shallow defect levels and directed energy migration.

The integration of multiple functionalities into single theranostic platforms offers new opportunities for personalized and minimally invasive clinical interventions, positioning these materials as highly promising tools in modern medicine. Thereby, magneto-luminescent Janus-like nanoparticles (JNPs) were developed herein, and encapsulated into near-infrared (NIR) light- and pH- responsive micelle-like aggregates (Mic) for simultaneous magnetic targeting, biomedical imaging, photothermal therapy, and pH- NIR-light activated drug delivery. The JNPs consisted of NaYF:Yb,Tm upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) on which a well-differentiated magnetite structure (MNPs) grew epitaxially.

Bovine serum albumin-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNC@BSA) are ionic, ultra-small, and eco-friendly nanomaterials that exhibit red fluorescence emission. Upon modification, these nanomaterials can serve as imaging probes with multimodal functionality. Owing to their nanoscale properties, AuNC@BSA-based nanomaterials can be readily endocytosed by cells for imaging.
