Through rational design of a functional molecular probe with high sequence specificity that takes advantage sensitive isothermal amplification simple operation, we developed one-pot hairpin-mediated quadratic enzymatic strategy for microRNA (miRNA) detection. Our method exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity toward miR-21 detection limits 10 fM at 37 °C and 1 aM 4 °C, which corresponds to nine strands in 15 μL sample, it is capable distinguishing among miRNA family members. More importantly, the...
Pancreatic β cell dysfunction and reduction due to glucose toxicity play a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Irisin, novel exercise-induced myokine, reduces obesity, improves insulin resistance lowers blood by promoting browning white adipose tissue, thereby enhancing thermogenesis increasing energy expenditure. Recent studies have reported that irisin promotes proliferation protects cells from apoptosis. However, effects on pancreatic are unknown. Thus, aim...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia reperfusion is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) can enhance the function and restrain following inflammation, but it hardly delivered lacks renal targeting ability. To address these problems, herein, an ultrasmall Fe3 O4 nanoparticle used as a carrier deliver nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), precursor of NAD+ . An outstanding sophistication current design that once NMN attached on surface...
Radiotherapy (RT) hinges on DNA damage-induced cancer cell death and the subsequent anti-tumor immunity. However, efficacy of RT is curtailed by cycle heterogeneity an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which foster radioresistance. Here ion generator-based enhancement strategy demonstrated in a mouse model radioresistant tumor. The generator degraded resulting iron-triggered ferroptosis that enhanced immunogenic manganese-activated stimulator interferon gene reversed environment. As...
The recently developed DNA−gold nanoparticle (DNA−GNP) biobarcode assay provides polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-like sensitivity for nucleic acid and protein targets without a need enzymatic amplification. However, application of the conventional is challenged by its complex, expensive, time-consuming, labor-intense procedure. Herein, we present new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method based on cysteamine−GNP conjugates. In this strategy, an ECL nanoprobe fabricated that relies GNP...
3D cross-linked DNA superstructures switch off the ionic flux through solid-state nanopores with extremely high ON–OFF ratios of 103–105. This gating mechanism can be generally applicable in a wide range opening diameters up to 650 nm. The bio-supramolecular gatekeepers outperform previous low-dimensional or simple-structured functional components.
Telomerase, a valuable biomarker, is highly correlated with the development of most human cancers. Here, we develop bidirectional strategy for telomerase activity detection and bladder cancer diagnosis based on four detection-color states difunctional gold nanoparticle (GNP) probes such as blue, purple, red, precipitate. Specifically, define red GNP probe origin, which represents urine extracts inactive implies normal individuals. The forward direction corresponding to relatively high...
Telomerase is a widely used tumor biomarker for early cancer diagnosis. On the basis of combined use aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogens and quencher, quencher group induced high specificity strategy detection telomerase activity from cell extracts patients' urine specimens was creatively developed. In absence telomerase, fluorescence background extremely low due to short distance between AIE dye. addition enhances significantly. The in E-J, MCF-7, HeLa equivalent 5-10 000 cells...

The nanovalves tightly close the pores of to control premature cargo release under physiological conditions but respond lysozyme and acidic media trapped cargo.
Abstract Diabetic ulcers (DUs) appearing as chronic wounds are difficult to heal due the oxidative stress in wound microenvironment and their high susceptibility bacterial infection. A routine treatment combining surgical debridement with anti‐infection therapy is widely used for treating DUs clinic, but hardly offers a satisfying healing outcome. It known that long‐term antibiotic may also lead drug resistance of pathogens. To address these challenges, new strategies both reactive oxygen...
Herein, we design novel cellulose conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CLS-MSP) based nanotherapeutics for stimuli responsive intracellular doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. DOX molecules are entrapped in pores of the fabricated nanoparticles (MSPs) while is used as an encapsulating material through esterification on outlet MSPs to avoid premature release under physiological conditions. In vitro studies, successfully achieved from loaded (DOX/CLS-MSPs) by pH and cellulase triggers....
Vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor) is a recently discovered adipokine that has been implicated in diabetes mellitus and other metabolic disorders. However, the effects of vaspin on pancreatic β cell function related mechanisms are not fully understood. Thus, present study was performed to investigate potential underlying mechanisms.
