Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Biomarkers play an important role in understanding the development of human diseases, and the identification of subgroups that are at increased risk of disease. The detection of biomarkers such as ions, active biomolecules, and vital enzymes in the physiological and pathological processes of living cells and in vivo has significance for the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Biosensing and bioimaging are becoming increasingly important techniques for disease diagnostics and management due to their non-invasiveness, near real-time feedback, real-time, high accuracy and reliability.

The aim of this Special Issue of Biosensors, “Advances in Bioimaging and Biosensing”, is to report recent developments and advances in molecular probes or nanoprobes for the detection and imaging of biomarkers in vivo or in vitro. This Special Issue is open to all researchers and welcomes papers relating to the proposed topic.

Sodium has many vital and diverse roles in the human body, including maintaining the cellular pH, generating action potential, and regulating osmotic pressure. In cancer, sodium dysregulation has been correlated with tumor growth, metastasis, and immune cell inhibition. However, most in vivo sodium measurements are performed via Na23 NMR, which is handicapped by slow acquisition times, a low spatial resolution (in mm), and low signal-to-noise ratios. We present here a plasticizer-free, ionophore-based sodium-sensing nanoparticle that utilizes a solvatochromic dye transducer to circumvent the pH cross-sensitivity of most previously reported sodium nano-sensors. We demonstrate that this nano-sensor is non-toxic, boasts a 200 μM detection limit, and is over 1000 times more selective for sodium than potassium. Further, the in vitro photoacoustic calibration curve presented demonstrates the potential of this nano-sensor for performing the in vivo chemical imaging of sodium over the entire physiologically relevant concentration range.

Formaldehyde (FA) is involved in multiple physiological regulatory processes and plays a crucial role in memory storage. Meanwhile, FA has a notorious reputation as a toxic compound, and it will cause a variety of diseases if its level is unbalanced in the human body. To date, there have been numerous fluorescent probes for FA imaging reported. Among them, the probes based on the 2−aza−Cope rearrangement have attracted the most attention, and their applications in cell imaging have been greatly expanded. Herein, we screened the various trigger moieties of FA fluorescent probes based on the mechanism of 2−aza−Cope rearrangement. FA−2, in which a fluorophore is connected to a 4−nitrobenzylamine group and an allyl group, demonstrated the highest sensitivity, selectivity, and reaction kinetics. Furthermore, FA−Lyso, derived from FA−2, has been successfully designed and applied to monitor exogenous and endogenous FA fluctuations in lysosomes of living cells. Full article

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), as a newly developed porous material, have been widely used in various fields. To date, several organic building units (OBUs) with tri-, tetra-, and hexa-carboxylic acid synthons have been applied to synthesize HOFs. To our knowledge, di-carboxylic acids have rarely been reported for the construction of HOFs, in particular, di-carboxylic acid-based HOFs with fluorescence sensing properties have not been reported. In this study, a rare example of a di-carboxylic acid-based, luminescent three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded organic framework has been successfully constructed and structurally characterized; it has a strong electron-rich property originated from its organic linker 9-phenylcarbazole-3,6-dicarboxylic acid. It represents the first example of HOF-based sensors for the highly selective and sensitive detection of PA (Picric acid) with reusability; the LOD is less than 60 nM. This work thus provides a new avenue for the fabrication of fluorescent HOFs sensing towards explosives. Full article
