A frontier of analytical sciences is centered on the continuous measurement of molecules in or near cells, tissues, or organs, within the biological context in situ, where the molecular-level information is indicative of health status, therapeutic efficacy, and fundamental biochemical function of the host. Following the completion of the Human Genome Project, current research aims to link genes to functions of an organism and investigate how the environment modulates functional properties of organisms. New analytical methods have been developed to detect chemical changes with high spatial and temporal resolution, including minimally invasive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanofibers using the principles of endoscopy (SERS nanoendoscopy) or optical physiology (SERS optophysiology). Given the large spectral data sets generated from these experiments, SERS nanoendoscopy and optophysiology benefit from advances in data science and machine learning to extract chemical information from complex vibrational spectra measured by SERS. This review highlights new opportunities for intracellular, extracellular, and in vivo chemical measurements arising from the combination of SERS nanosensing and machine learning.

The ability to measure dynamic changes in neurochemicals with high spatiotemporal resolution is essential for understanding the diverse range of functions mediated by the brain. We review recent advances in genetically encoded sensors for detecting neurochemicals and discuss their in vivo applications. For example, notable progress has been made with respect to sensors for second messengers such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, enabling in vivo real-time monitoring of these messengers at single-cell and even subcellular resolution. Moreover, the emergence of highly sensitive sensors for neurotransmitters and neuromodulators has greatly accelerated the study of these signaling molecules in a wide variety of behavioral models using an array of powerful imaging techniques. Finally, we discuss the future direction of neurochemical sensors, including their ability to measure neurochemical concentrations and the potential for multiplex imaging.

The last decade has been incredibly fruitful in proving the multifunctionality of paper for delivering innovative electrochemical (bio)sensors. The paper material exhibits unprecedented versatility to deal with complex liquid matrices and facilitate analytical detection in aerosol and solid phases. Such remarkable capabilities are feasible by exploiting the intrinsic features of paper, including porosity, capillary forces, and its easy modification, which allow for the fine designing of a paper device. In this review, we shed light on the most relevant paper-based electrochemical (bio)sensors published in the literature so far to identify the smart functional roles that paper can play to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications in the biomedical, environmental, agrifood, and security fields. Our analysis aims to highlight how paper's multifarious properties can be artfully harnessed for breaking the boundaries of the most classical applications of electrochemical (bio)sensors.

We critically evaluate the current status of portable mass spectrometry (pMS), particularly where this aligns with ambient ionization. Assessing the field of pMS can be quite subjective, especially in relation to the portable aspects of design, deployment, and operation. In this review, we discuss what it means to be portable and introduce a set of criteria by which pMS and ambient ionization sources can be assessed. Moreover, we consider the recent literature in terms of the most popular and significant advances in portable instrumentation for ambient ionization and miniature mass spectrometers. Finally, emerging trends and exciting future prospects are discussed and some recommendations are offered.

Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a powerful method for visualizing biological processes and tracking cells. Engineered bioluminescent bacteria that utilize luciferase-catalyzed biochemical reactions to generate luminescence have become useful analytical tools for in vitro and in vivo bacterial imaging. Accordingly, this review initially introduces the development of engineered bioluminescent bacteria that use different luciferase–luciferin pairs as analytical tools and their applications for in vivo BLI, including real-time bacterial tracking of infection, probiotic investigation, tumor-targeted therapy, and drug screening. Applications of engineered bioluminescent bacteria as whole-cell biosensors for sensing biological changes in vitro and in vivo are then discussed. Finally, we review the optimizations and future directions of bioluminescent bacteria for imaging. This review aims to provide fundamental insights into bacterial BLI and highlight the potential development of this technique in the future.

Single-entity (or digital) measurements enhance sensitivity (10- to 100-fold improvement) and uncover heterogeneity within a population (one event in 100 to 10,000). Many biological systems are significantly influenced by rare or infrequent events, and determining what species is present, in what quantity, and role of that species is critically important to unraveling many questions. To develop these measurement systems, resistive-pulse sensing is used as a label-free, single-particle detection technique and can be combined with a range of functional elements, e.g., mixers, reactors, filters, separators, and pores. Virtually, any two-dimensional layout of the micro- and nanofluidic conduits can be envisioned, designed, and fabricated in the plane of the device. Multiple nanopores in series lead to higher-precision measurements of particle size, shape, and charge, and reactions coupled directly with the particle-size measurements improve temporal response. Moreover, other detection techniques, e.g., fluorescence, are highly compatible with the in-plane format. These integrated in-plane nanofluidic devices expand the toolbox of what is possible with single-entity measurements.

The electrochemical interface formed between an electrode and an electrolyte significantly affects the rate and mechanism of the electrode reaction through its structure and properties, which vary across the interface. The scope of the interface has been expanded, along with the development of energy electrochemistry, where a solid-electrolyte interphase may form on the electrode and the active materials change properties near the surface region. Developing a comprehensive understanding of electrochemical interfaces and interphases necessitates three-dimensional spatial resolution characterization. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) offers advantages of imaging and long-range force measurements. Here we assess the capabilities of AFM by comparing the force curves of different regimes and various imaging modes for in situ characterizing of electrochemical interfaces and interphases. Selected examples of progress on work related to the structures and processes of electrode surfaces, electrical double layers, and lithium battery systems are subsequently illustrated. Finally, this review provides perspectives on the future development of electrochemical AFM.

Amyloid-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, are devastating conditions caused by the accumulation of abnormal protein aggregates known as amyloid fibrils. While assays involving animal models are essential for understanding the pathogenesis and developing therapies, a wide array of standard analytical techniques exists to enhance our understanding of these disorders. These techniques provide valuable information on the formation and propagation of amyloid fibrils, as well as the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of candidate drugs. Despite ethical concerns surrounding animal use, animal models remain vital tools in the search for treatments. Regardless of the specific animal model chosen, the analytical methods used are usually standardized. Therefore, the main objective of this review is to categorize and outline the primary analytical methods used in in vivo assays for amyloid-related diseases, highlighting their critical role in furthering our understanding of these disorders and developing effective therapies.

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) enables highly multiplexed, untargeted tissue mapping for a broad range of molecular classes, facilitating in situ biological discovery. Yet, challenges persist in molecular specificity, which is the ability to discern one molecule from another, and spatial specificity, which is the ability to link untargeted imaging data to specific tissue features. Instrumental developments have dramatically improved IMS spatial resolution, allowing molecular observations to be more readily associated with distinct tissue features across spatial scales, ranging from larger anatomical regions to single cells. High-performance mass analyzers and systems integrating ion mobility technologies are also becoming more prevalent, further improving molecular coverage and the ability to discern chemical identity. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in high-specificity IMS that are providing critical biological context to untargeted molecular imaging, enabling integrated analyses, and addressing advanced biomedical research applications.

Analytical techniques operating at the nanoscale introduce confinement as a tool at our disposal. This review delves into the phenomenon of accelerated reactivity within micro- and nanodroplets. A decade of accelerated reactivity observations was succeeded by several years of fundamental studies aimed at mechanistic enlightenment. Herein, we provide a brief historical context for rate enhancement in micro- and nanodroplets and summarize the mechanisms that have been proposed to contribute to such extraordinary reactivity. We highlight recent electrochemical reports that make use of restricted mass transfer to enhance electrochemical reactions and/or quantitatively measure reaction rates within droplet-confined electrochemical cells. A comprehensive approach to nanodroplet reactivity is paramount to understanding how nature takes advantage of these systems to provide life on Earth and, in turn, how to harness the full potential of such systems.
