    Abstract Ochratoxin A (OTA) poses a severe health risk to livestock along the food chain. Moreover, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, it is also categorized as being possibly carcinogenic to humans. The lack of intelligent point-of-care test (POCT) methods restricts its early detection and prevention. This work establishes a smartphone-enabled point-of-care test for OTA detection via a fluorescent lateral flow assay within 6 min. By using a smartphone and portable reader, the assay allows for the recording and sharing of the detection results in a cloud database. This intelligent POCT provided (iPOCT) a linearity range of 0.1–3.0 ng/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 ng/mL (0.32 µg/kg in wheat). By spiking OTA in blank wheat samples, the recoveries were 89.1–120.4%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) between 3.9–9.1%. The repeatability and reproducibility were 94.2–101.7% and 94.6–103.4%, respectively. This work provides a promising intelligent POCT method for food safety.

    Abstract Nanoplastics, as a hot topic of novel contaminants, lack extensive concern in higher plants; especially the potential impact and mechanism of nanoplastics on legume crops remains elusive. In this study, the toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs, 200 nm) with diverse doses (control, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 mg/L) to soybean and mung bean plants grown hydroponically for 7 d was investigated at both the macroscopic and molecular levels. The results demonstrated that the root length of both plants was markedly suppressed to varying degrees. Similarly, mineral elements (Fe, Zn) were notably decreased in soybean roots, consistent with Cu alteration in mung bean. Moreover, PS-NPs considerably elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels only in soybean roots. Enzyme activity data indicated mung bean exhibited significant damage only at higher doses of PS-NPs stress than soybean, implying mung bean is more resilient. Transcriptome analysis showed that PS-NPs stimulated the expression of genes associated with the antioxidant system in plant roots. Furthermore, starch and sucrose metabolism might play a key role in coping with PS-NPs to enhance soybean resistance, but the MAPK pathway was enriched in mung bean. Our findings provide valuable perspectives for an in-depth understanding of the performance of plants growing in waters contaminated by nanoplastics.

    Abstract Dopamine (DA) is an important small-molecule neurotransmitter, which is closely related to the development of many neurological diseases and has received increasing attention in the diagnosis of neurological diseases. Currently, the assays of the detection of dopamine such as electrochemical and colorimetric methods have low sensitivity, poor selectivity and susceptibility to interference, which limit the accurate quantification of dopamine. Fluorescence anisotropy immunoassay is a traditional analytical method in which the quantification is based on the change in fluorescence anisotropy values observed when fluorescence molecules are bound to a certain volume and mass of the material. Since dopamine is a small molecule with small volume and mass, we took advantage of the good photostability of the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) quantum dots (QDs) and the low spontaneous interference of the substrate, and designed a biosensor dopamine fluorescence anisotropy probe streptavidin biosensor (DFAP-SAB) based on the NIR-II QDs combined with streptavidin signal amplification to achieve rapid and separation-free detection of dopamine in human serum. The detection signal has a good linearity between 50 nM and 3000 nM with a detection limit of 11.2 nM. The application of NIR-II QDs provides the possibility of biosensor applications for complex samples. The construction of the streptavidin signal amplification device provides a new idea for small molecule detection.

    Abstract Fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (LFA), one tool in point of care testing (POCT) systems for breast cancer, has attracted attention because it is quick, simple, and convenient. However, samples and the constituent material exhibit autofluorescence in the visible region, which is a very large obstacle in the development of fluorescent LFAs. The autofluorescence of biological samples is scarcely found in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) range and samples scatter and absorb less NIR-II light than visible light. Here, we report an NIR-II QD-LFA platform using the NIR-II fluorescent Ag

    Abstract Fluorescence anisotropy (FA) has been widely applied for detecting and monitoring special targets in life sciences. However, matrix autofluorescence restricted its further application in complex biological samples. Herein, we report a near-infrared-II (NIR-II) FA strategy for detecting adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in human serum samples and breast cancer cell lysate, which employed NIR-II fluorescent Ag₂Se quantum dots (QDs) as tags to reduce matrix autofluorescence effect and applied graphene oxide (GO) to enhance fluorescence anisotropy signals. In the presence of ATP, the recognition between NIR-II Ag₂Se QDs labeled aptamer (QD-pDNA) and ATP led to the release of QD-pDNA from GO, resulting in the obvious decrease of FA values. ATP could be quantitatively detected in concentrations ranged from 3 nM to 2500 nM, with a detection limit down to 1.01 nM. This study showed that the developed NIR-II FA strategy could be applied for detecting targets in complex biological samples and had great potential for monitoring interactions between biomolecules in biomedical research.

    Abstract Nanocarriers hold great promise for the controlled release of therapeutic payloads to target organs/tissues and extended duration of anticancer agents in the bloodstream. However, limited data on their in vivo pharmacokinetics and delivery process hamper clinical applications. Here we report a series of micellar nanocarriers self-assembled from new-generation thiophenthiadiazole (TTD)-based NIR-II fluorophores HLAnP (n = 1–4) for simultaneous bioimaging and drug delivery. The NIR-II HLA4P nanocarrier displays exceptional non-fouling performance, minimal immunogenicity, ultralong blood half-life, and high tumor accumulation even with different administration routes. When used as a drug carrier, HLA4P with encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) realized accurate tumor targeting and continuous real-time in vivo NIR-II tracking of drug delivery and therapy, showing a sustained release rate, improved therapeutic effect, and diminished cardiotoxicity as compared to free DOX. This study provides a new perspective on the design of dual-functional NIR-II fluorophores for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
