Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a key biomarker for long-term glycemic control and diabetes diagnosis. Common methods such as chromatography and immunoassays are accurate but require costly instrumentation, limiting their use in point-of-care settings. Electrochemical sensors offer a portable and sensitive alternative. This study integrates computational modeling with hydrogel-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) engineering to achieve selective HbA1c recognition. Molecular docking coupled with molecular dynamics simulations guided the rational design, identifying optimal binding sites and confirming the structural stability of the monomer–template complex. A hydrogel MIP sensor was fabricated on a gold-modified screen-printed carbon electrode using 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. Successful polymer formation and template removal were confirmed by FTIR and XPS, while SEM verified uniform deposition of gold particles and MIP layers. Electrochemical characterization was performed using K3[Fe(CN)6]as the redox probe. The developed SPCE/Au/MIPs sensor exhibited a wide linear range 10–105 ng/mL and LOD 1.13 ng/mL. A strong imprinting factor (IF 4.96) and high selectivity (98.7 %) confirmed effective molecular recognition, while long-term stability was demonstrated by stable performance over 120 days at room temperature with 94 % signal retention. Real sample measurements showed 95–112 % recovery compared to NGSP-standardized HPLC, with good reproducibility, validating its practical applicability. Overall, hydrogel MIP platform provides a robust, sensitive, and durable approach for HbA1c monitoring, supporting good health and well-being through accessible diabetes diagnostics.
糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)是长期血糖控制和糖尿病诊断的关键生物标志物。常见的方法如色谱法和免疫测定法是准确的,但需要昂贵的仪器,限制了它们在护理点环境中的使用。电化学传感器提供了一种便携、灵敏的替代方案。本研究将计算建模与基于水凝胶的分子印迹聚合物(MIP)工程相结合,实现了选择性的HbA1c识别。分子对接结合分子动力学模拟指导了合理设计,确定了最佳结合位点,并确认了单体-模板复合物的结构稳定性。以2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基-1-丙磺酸为功能单体,乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯为交联剂,在金修饰的丝网印刷碳电极上制备了水凝胶MIP传感器。FTIR和XPS证实了聚合物的成功形成和模板的去除,而SEM证实了金颗粒和MIP层的均匀沉积。以K3[Fe(CN)6]为氧化还原探针进行了电化学表征。所开发的SPCE/Au/MIPs传感器具有宽线性范围10-105 ng/mL和LOD 1.13 ng/mL。高印迹因子(IF 4.96)和高选择性(98.7 %)证实了有效的分子识别,而长期稳定性表明,室温下120天的稳定性能具有94% %的信号保留率。与ngsp标准HPLC相比,实际样品的回收率为95-112 %,重现性好,验证了该方法的实用性。总的来说,水凝胶MIP平台为HbA1c监测提供了一种强大、敏感和持久的方法,通过可获得的糖尿病诊断支持良好的健康和福祉。

Rapid, low-cost, and multiplexed nucleic acid testing is essential for human health but remains challenging. Although CRISPR-Cas systems offer high specificity, their integration into Multiplexed platforms suitable for near-patient testing has been limited. Here, we introduce a biosensing platform that combines CRISPR-initiated enzymatic amplification with quantum-dot encoded microbeads and deep-learning based image analysis for Multiplexed detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA. The high specificity of CRISPR/Cas9 first triggers an exponential amplification. The products are then specifically captured on the microbead surface for localized fluorescent readout. A custom deep-learning algorithm automatically quantifies the bead fluorescence, enabling robust and automated analysis. The integrated approach achieves simultaneous detection of HPV16, HPV18, and HPV33 with detection limits as low as 0.2 pM. By using recognition-triggered amplification and a simple deep-learning assisted fluorescence readout, the workflow is significantly simplified. The platform establishes a universal and practical strategy for molecular diagnostics, demonstrating strong potential for near-patient testing.
快速、低成本和多路核酸检测对人类健康至关重要,但仍然具有挑战性。尽管CRISPR-Cas系统具有很高的特异性,但它们与适合近患者检测的多路复用平台的整合受到限制。在这里,我们介绍了一种生物传感平台,该平台将crispr启动的酶促扩增与量子点编码微珠和基于深度学习的图像分析相结合,用于人乳头瘤病毒(HPV) DNA的多路检测。CRISPR/Cas9的高特异性首先触发指数扩增。然后将产物特异性地捕获在微珠表面,用于局部荧光读出。定制的深度学习算法自动量化头部荧光,实现鲁棒和自动化分析。该方法可同时检测HPV16、HPV18和HPV33,检出限低至0.2 pM。通过使用识别触发放大和简单的深度学习辅助荧光读出,工作流程显着简化。该平台为分子诊断建立了一种通用和实用的策略,显示了近患者检测的巨大潜力。

Enhancing the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Au nanoclusters (AuNCs)-based system is a crucial approach for broadening their applications. Unlike traditional strategies that relied solely on coreaction accelerators to promote coreactant oxidation, this work innovatively adopted a “luminophore-coreaction accelerator” synergistic catalysis strategy to enhance the ECL of the AuNCs-Triethylamine (TEA) system. Specifically, Pd nanocubes (PdNCs), serving as a coreaction accelerator, formed a heterostructure with AuNCs on the working electrode surface. This structural design enhanced the ECL signal of the AuNCs-TEA system via two mechanisms. On one hand, PdNCs acted as efficient “electron traps” to capture electrons injected from TEA into the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of AuNCs, thus significantly promoting the oxidation of TEA. On the other hand, the incorporation of PdNCs effectively improved the electrochemically active surface area of AuNCs, thus providing more active sites to catalyze the oxidation of TEA. Together, these two mechanisms accelerated the generation of TEA free radicals (TEA) and the subsequent excited state of AuNCs (AuNCs*), thereby enhancing the ECL of the system. As an application, the developed ECL aptasensor exhibited favorable analytical performance for As3+. This study has opened up a new way to improve the ECL properties of metal nanoclusters.
提高金纳米团簇(aucs)体系的电化学发光性能是扩大其应用的重要途径。与传统仅依靠助反应加速剂促进反应物氧化的策略不同,本研究创新性地采用了“发光团-助反应加速剂”协同催化策略来提高auncs -三乙胺(TEA)体系的ECL。具体来说,钯纳米立方(pdnc)作为协同反应的促进剂,在工作电极表面与AuNCs形成异质结构。这种结构设计通过两种机制增强了AuNCs-TEA系统的ECL信号。一方面,pdnc作为有效的“电子陷阱”,将从TEA注入的电子捕获到aunc的最低未占据分子轨道(LUMO),从而显著促进TEA的氧化。另一方面,pdnc的掺入有效地提高了aunc的电化学活性表面积,从而为催化TEA氧化提供了更多的活性位点。这两种机制共同加速了TEA自由基(TEA•)的产生和随后的aunc激发态(aunc *),从而增强了系统的ECL。作为一种应用,所开发的ECL感应传感器对As3+具有良好的分析性能。本研究为提高金属纳米团簇的ECL性能开辟了一条新的途径。

Biogenic amines (BAs) serve as critical indicators of food spoilage, necessitating portable and real-time monitoring approaches to ensure food safety. To this end, we developed a P-QDot-based fluorescence/colorimetric (FL/CL) dual-mode sensor array integrated with deep learning and smartphone imaging for the classification and quantification of five BAs and the assessment of food freshness. The P-QDot probe was prepared by physically mixing the hydrogen-bonded organic framework PFC-1 with glutathione-capped quantum dots (QD) in aqueous solution. The fluorescence response was governed by a synergistic effect involving aggregation-induced emission (AIE), photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and the inner filter effect (IFE), which were activated by hydrogen bonding between the probe and BAs. Concurrently, a new UV absorption band was generated by P-QDot under the alkaline conditions induced by the BAs, leading to the colorimetric response. Leveraging this dual-mode response mechanism, the P-QDot-based FL/CL sensing array facilitated rapid (<30 s), sensitive, and simultaneous qualitative discrimination and quantitative detection of BAs. Furthermore, a smartphone platform integrated with the YOLOv12 algorithm was established, enabling on-site BAs classification. The practical application of this system was demonstrated by real-time monitoring of shrimp spoilage during storage at 4 °C and 25 °C, where visually recognizable fluorescence color changes and colorimetric signals accurately reflected the degree of spoilage. Additionally, a logic gate device was engineered to directly translate the complex sensor signals into three intuitive freshness levels (fresh, acceptable freshness, and spoiled). This work presented a powerful strategy for food freshness assessment, successfully merging intricate material design with portable intelligence.

Coexisting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) can produce synergetic toxic effects, particularly carcinogenicity, highlighting the importance of their simultaneous detection. Although homogeneous strategies can avoid cross-interference on the electrode surface during multi-target detection, the complexity of the signal amplification process and background interference remains a challenge. This study integrates an efficient signal amplification strategy and magnetic separation technology into a homogeneous electrochemical strategy for the simultaneous detection of AFB1 and OTA. First, taking advantage of the adsorption of Zr-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66) for electroactive dyes, the aptamer was combined with it via the stirring method, followed by enrichment of neutral red (NR)/methylene blue (MB) to prepare a signal amplification probe. Then, the probe capture was achieved through double-strand hybridization by using complementary DNA (cDNA)-functionalized Fe3O4@PtNPs. Once the target was present, the high specificity of the aptamer forced the release of the signal probe. Meanwhile, the external magnet can rapidly remove the background-interfering species that are independent of the target. By ingeniously integrating the advantages of low background and an efficient signal amplification strategy, this method successfully achieved highly sensitive simultaneous detection of AFB1 and OTA. The detection ranges for AFB1 and OTA were 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL and 500 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with detection limits as low as 0.51 pg/mL and 0.42 pg/mL, respectively. Overall, this strategy represents a satisfactory exploration towards achieving efficient and sensitive strategies for detecting numerous mycotoxins.
同时存在的黄曲霉毒素B1 (AFB1)和赭曲霉毒素A (OTA)可产生协同毒性作用,特别是致癌性,因此同时检测二者的重要性突出。虽然均匀策略可以避免多目标检测过程中电极表面的交叉干扰,但信号放大过程的复杂性和背景干扰仍然是一个挑战。本研究将一种高效的信号放大策略和磁分离技术整合到一种同时检测AFB1和OTA的均相电化学策略中。首先,利用zr基金属有机骨架(UiO-66)对电活性染料的吸附作用,通过搅拌法与适配体结合,然后富集中性红(NR)/亚甲基蓝(MB)制备信号放大探针。然后,利用互补DNA (cDNA)功能化Fe3O4@PtNPs通过双链杂交实现探针捕获。一旦目标存在,适配体的高特异性就会迫使信号探针释放。同时,外部磁体可以快速去除与目标无关的背景干扰物质。该方法巧妙地结合了低背景和高效信号放大策略的优点,成功地实现了AFB1和OTA的高灵敏度同时检测。AFB1和OTA的检出范围分别为1 pg/mL ~ 100 ng/mL和500 fg/mL ~ 100 ng/mL,检出限分别低至0.51 pg/mL和0.42 pg/mL。总的来说,该策略代表了对实现检测多种真菌毒素的有效和敏感策略的令人满意的探索。

Traditional DNA methylation assays for colon cancer still face challenges of insufficient sensitivity, limited specificity, and low cost-efficiency in clinical samples. Herein, we develop an electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on a dual-enhanced electron transfer mechanism using DNA tetrahedral nanostructure probes for the ultrasensitive detection of methylated DNA related to colon cancer. The DNA tetrahedral structure probe overcomes the shortcomings of poor adaptability caused by the low binding efficiency and high spatial steric hindrance in complex clinical samples. The electrochemiluminescence biosensor uses active-site-rich TiO2-Ti3C2 MXenes@AgNPs hybrid nanocomposites as the electro-active substrate. These nanocomposites exhibited accelerated electron transfer and shortened the reaction paths due to the intrinsic photoelectric activity of TiO2 and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect between AgNPs and TiO2. Furthermore, the three-dimensional (3D) self-assembled AuNPs-ABEI nanoluminous spheres substantially improved the luminescence intensity by concentrating more AuNPs to accelerate electron transfer while immobilizing additional ABEI molecules. The dual-enhanced electron transfer strategy significantly accelerated the kinetics of interfacial electron transfer. Metal nanoparticles (such as AgNP, AuNP, and TiO2) generate SPR-induced local electric fields under electrochemical excitation. The electric fields enhance the electron transfer and amplify the electrochemiluminescence intensity, thereby achieving ultra-sensitive detection of the methylated Septin9 gene with a detection limit as low as 8.2 aM. Clinical sample validation using clinical serum samples from healthy controls (n = 100) and colon cancer patients (n = 100) has shown that the biosensor achieves comparable performance to the gold standard method in terms of both sensitivity and specificity, demonstrating equivalent detection efficacy to pyrosequencing.
传统的结肠癌DNA甲基化检测方法在临床样品中仍然面临灵敏度不足、特异性有限、成本效益低等挑战。在此,我们开发了一种基于双增强电子传递机制的电化学发光生物传感器,使用DNA四面体纳米结构探针进行与结肠癌相关的甲基化DNA的超灵敏检测。DNA四面体结构探针克服了在复杂临床样品中结合效率低、空间位阻高而导致适应性差的缺点。电化学发光生物传感器采用富活性位点TiO2-Ti3C2 MXenes@AgNPs杂化纳米复合材料作为电活性衬底。由于TiO2的固有光电活性和AgNPs与TiO2之间的表面等离子体共振(SPR)效应,这些纳米复合材料具有加速电子转移和缩短反应路径的特性。此外,三维(3D)自组装的AuNPs-ABEI纳米发光球通过聚集更多的AuNPs来加速电子转移,同时固定额外的ABEI分子,从而大大提高了发光强度。双增强电子转移策略显著加快了界面电子转移动力学。金属纳米粒子(如AgNP、AuNP和TiO2)在电化学激发下产生spr诱导的局部电场。电场增强了电子传递,放大了电化学发光强度,从而实现了对甲基化的Septin9基因的超灵敏检测,检测限低至8.2 aM。使用健康对照(n = 100)和结肠癌患者(n = 100)的临床血清样本进行的临床样品验证表明,该生物传感器在灵敏度和特异性方面的性能与金标准方法相当,具有与焦磷酸测序相当的检测效果。

Modern analytical tasks increasingly require the simultaneous quantification of large numbers of chemically diverse analytes in complex matrices, which remains challenging for a single LC–MS method. Here, we developed a shared-autosampler parallel LC–MS/MS strategy that enables two fully independent chromatographic methods to be executed sequentially within a single analytical cycle while generating one unified chromatogram-mass spectrum. The system employed two LC pump modules and two columns to form two independent LC pathways, which shared one autosampler and one MS detector for selective MRM acquisition and subsequent signal integration. Integration was performed exclusively at the MS detection and data-processing level, without inter-dimensional coupling or analyte transfer between columns. This avoided the mobile-phase compatibility and dead-volume limitations associated with 2D-LC, enabled modular recombination of chromatographic and MS conditions, and improved analytical throughput without additional MS detector or autosampler hardware. The performance of the strategy was demonstrated in two applications. An acidic/basic dual-method configuration enabled quantitative analysis of 394 emerging contaminants from 14 chemical classes in human serum within 28 min, exhibiting good linearity, limits of quantification not exceeding 0.20 ng/mL for >90 % of analytes, and peak-area RSDs generally below 10 %. A HILIC/RP parallel-column combination achieved simultaneous determination of 27 hypoglycemic agents spanning a log P range of −6.8 to 5.9 in a single 20 min run, reducing analysis time by >50 % compared with standard methods, with good precision and recoveries in spiked food samples. Overall, the shared-autosampler parallel LC–MS/MS strategy provided a flexible and efficient platform for high-throughput multi-analyte quantification in complex matrices.
现代分析任务越来越需要在复杂的矩阵中同时定量大量化学上不同的分析物,这对于单一的LC-MS方法来说仍然是一个挑战。在这里,我们开发了一种共享自动进样器并行LC-MS /MS策略,使两种完全独立的色谱方法在一个分析周期内依次执行,同时生成一个统一的色谱-质谱。该系统采用两个LC泵模块和两个色谱柱组成两个独立的LC通路,共享一个自动进样器和一个质谱检测器,用于选择性MRM采集和随后的信号集成。集成仅在质谱检测和数据处理级别进行,没有多维耦合或柱之间的分析物转移。这避免了2D-LC相关的移动相兼容性和死体积限制,实现了色谱和质谱条件的模块化重组,并提高了分析通量,而无需额外的质谱检测器或自动进样器硬件。在两个应用中验证了该策略的性能。酸性/碱性双方法配置能够在28分钟内对人血清中14种化学类别中的394种新出现的污染物进行定量分析,具有良好的线性,90%的分析物的定量限不超过0.20 ng/mL,峰面积rsd通常低于10%。HILIC/RP平行柱组合可在20分钟内同时测定27种降糖药,其logp范围为- 6.8至5.9,与标准方法相比,分析时间缩短了50%,在加标食品样品中具有良好的精密度和回收率。总体而言,共享自动进样器并行LC-MS /MS策略为复杂矩阵中的高通量多分析物定量提供了灵活高效的平台。

Untargeted metabolomics and in-house database analysis reveal differences between elephantopus scaber L. and elephantopus tomentosus L. 非靶向代谢组学和内部数据库分析揭示了非洲象和毛象之间的差异。

In China, Elephantopus scaber L. and Elephantopus tomentosus L., two traditional Chinese medicinal herbs commonly known as "Ku-di-dan", are widely used. Moreover, they have demonstrated anti-hepatoma effects and hepatoprotective properties in experimental studies. Nonetheless, according to existing literature, E. scaber and E. tomentosus encompass compounds with similar but notably different chemical structures. Therefore, investigating the differences in secondary metabolites between E. scaber and E. tomentosus and elucidating their distinct anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activities is of great importance. This study employed an integrated approach combining untargeted metabolomics with bioactivity assays to effectively differentiate between the congeneric plant species E. scaber and E. tomentosus. To improve the accuracy of characterizing and identifying key metabolites, an in-house database and data screening methods were employed. The research findings revealed that thirty major secondary metabolites were detected in E. tomentosus and E. scaber extracts through untargeted metabolomics and data screening. Subsequently, eight significant differential metabolites were identified through multivariate statistical analyses. Thereafter, twelve compounds were isolated from these two plants and evaluated for their anti-hepatocellular activity, revealing that compounds 58 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on HepG2 and Hep3B cells. Consistent results were also observed in the tests conducted on the crude extracts of both E. scaber and E. tomentosus. This study demonstrates that E. scaber and E. tomentosus exhibit distinct secondary metabolite profiles and differential anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activities.
在中国,被广泛使用的两种传统中草药,俗称“苦地丹”,即是结痂象(Elephantopus scaber L.)和绒毛象(Elephantopus tomentosus L.)。此外,在实验研究中,它们已显示出抗肝癌和保护肝脏的作用。尽管如此,根据现有文献,E. scaber和E. tomentosus包含的化合物具有相似但明显不同的化学结构。因此,研究结痂荚膜荚膜荚膜荚膜荚膜菌和结痂荚膜荚膜荚膜菌次生代谢产物的差异,阐明其不同的抗肝癌活性具有重要意义。本研究采用非靶向代谢组学与生物活性检测相结合的综合方法,对属属植物剑麻和毛毛剑麻进行有效区分。为了提高表征和鉴定关键代谢物的准确性,采用了内部数据库和数据筛选方法。研究结果表明,通过非靶向代谢组学和数据筛选,在毛毛莲和剑麻提取物中检测到30种主要的次生代谢物。随后,通过多变量统计分析,确定了8种显著差异代谢物。随后,从这两种植物中分离得到12个化合物,并对其抗肝细胞活性进行了评价,发现化合物5 ~ 8对HepG2和Hep3B细胞有明显的抑制作用。在对剑麻和毛毛剑麻粗提取物进行的试验中也观察到一致的结果。本研究表明,结痂大肠杆菌和绒毛大肠杆菌具有不同的次级代谢物谱和不同的抗肝细胞癌活性。

Coffee is a highly complex and variable matrix, with volatile profiles shaped by multiple factors including botanical origin, climatic and soil conditions, post-harvest treatments, and roasting parameters. This variability generates complex chemical patterns, encompassing hundreds of volatile compounds from diverse chemical classes including pyrazines, furans, aldehydes, ketones, and terpenes. The resulting chemical dimensionality poses significant analytical challenges, making the accurate identification of characteristic compounds and reliable discrimination of coffee origins particularly difficult.
In this study, we applied comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) coupled with computer vision (CV) to address these challenges. The workflow begins with untargeted fingerprinting, capturing all detectable compounds in a feature template. Multiple sample chromatograms are then combined into composite class images, representing the typical chemical features of each origin while minimising individual variability, which enables rapid pairwise comparison of different origins.
CV-based pairwise comparisons highlight differential peaks, which are integrated into a targeted template for subsequent peak extraction. Multivariate analyses then identify the key discriminant compounds driving origin differentiation. Post-processing strategies, such as ion-specific intensity mapping, further enhance interpretability, enabling visualisation of compositional differences across key chemical families. Overall, this GC×GC–CV workflow provides a robust, rapid, and visually intuitive platform for comprehensive chemical characterisation and origin classification of coffee, integrating untargeted and targeted analyses in a single framework.
咖啡是一种高度复杂和多变的基质,其挥发性特征受到多种因素的影响,包括植物来源、气候和土壤条件、收获后处理和烘焙参数。这种可变性产生了复杂的化学模式,包括来自不同化学类别的数百种挥发性化合物,包括吡嗪、呋喃、醛、酮和萜烯。由此产生的化学维度带来了重大的分析挑战,使得准确识别特征化合物和可靠地区分咖啡原产地尤其困难。在这项研究中,我们应用了全面的二维气相色谱(GC×GC)结合计算机视觉(CV)来解决这些挑战。工作流程从非目标指纹识别开始,在特征模板中捕获所有可检测的化合物。然后将多个样品色谱图组合成复合类图像,代表每个来源的典型化学特征,同时最大限度地减少个体差异,从而实现不同来源的快速两两比较。基于cv的两两比较突出了差异峰,并将其集成到目标模板中,用于后续的峰提取。然后通过多变量分析确定驱动起源分化的关键判别化合物。后处理策略,如离子特异性强度映射,进一步提高了可解释性,使关键化学家族的成分差异可视化。总的来说,这个GC×GC-CV工作流程提供了一个强大、快速、视觉直观的平台,用于全面的咖啡化学特征和原产地分类,将非目标和目标分析集成在一个框架中。
