This Perspective focuses on the latest strategies and challenges for development of bioanalytical sensors with sub-picomolar detection limits. Achieving limits has three major challenges: (1) assay sensitivity, (2) response time, (3) selectivity (including limiting background signals). Each these is discussed, along how nanomaterials provide solutions. One strategy to gain greater sensitivity involves confining sensing volume nanoscale, as used in nanopore- or nanoparticle-based sensors,...

Abstract Nanopore sensors detect individual species passing through a nanoscale pore. This experimental paradigm suffers from long analysis times at low analyte concentration and non-specific signals in complex media. These limit effectiveness of nanopore for quantitative analysis. Here, we address these challenges using antibody-modified magnetic nanoparticles ((anti-PSA)-MNPs) that diffuse zero field to capture the analyte, prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The (anti-PSA)-MNPs are...

Self-monitored photothermal therapy (PTT) with minimal collateral damages has emerged as a challenging strategy for antibacterial and cancer treatments, which could be fulfilled via the rational integration of luminescent thermometry ablation within single upconverting (UC) nanoplatform. Herein, 808 nm light-driven dual-functional nanoplatforms LuVO4:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+@SiO2@Cu2S were successfully developed using olivelike LuVO4:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+ hollow nanoparticles thermal-sensing core ultrasmall...

Lipid droplets (LDs) are critical for lipid storage and energy metabolism. LDs form in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, molecular basis LD biogenesis remains elusive. Here, we show that fat storage–inducing transmembrane protein 2 (FIT2) interacts with ER tubule-forming proteins Rtn4 REEP5. The association is mainly domain based stimulated by oleic acid. Depletion of decreases number size cells Caenorhabditis elegans, mimicking loss FIT2. Through cytosolic loops, FIT2 binds to...

Impact experiments enable single particle analysis for many applications. However, the effect of trajectory a to an electrode on impact signals still requires further exploration. Here, we investigate measurements versus motion using micromotors with controllable vertical motion. With biocatalytic cascade reactions, micromotor system utilizes buoyancy as driving force, thus enabling more regulated interactions electrode. aid numerical simulations, dynamic between and are categorized into...
