Abstract
We developed a dual-mode biosensor that utilizes DNA conformational changes and ultraviolet photolysis for electrochemical (EC) and fluorescence (FL) detection. In this study, a stem-loop-structured carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) aptamer was modified on an Au electrode, and this aptamer contained a redox-labeled methylene blue (MB), short-chain DNA with a 6-carboxylic fluorescein (FAM) and a PC linker that can be cleaved by ultraviolet light. Subsequently, CEA and CEA antibody-modified upconversion nanoparticle bioconjugates (CEA-Ab@UCNPs) were added. In the presence of CEA, Ab@UCNPs can bind CEA and push the MB which was originally close to the electrode surface, away from the electrode surface, resulting in a reduced redox current. Under irradiation with a 980 nm laser, the UCNPs emit ultraviolet light, leading to photocleavage of the PC linker and the release of FAM for FL sensing. Under optimal conditions, the EC and FL modes showed good responses to CEA within 0.01-50 ng/mL and 0.1-80 ng/mL, respectively.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) hold promise for single-molecule imaging owing to their excellent photostability and minimal autofluorescence. However, their limited water dispersibility, often from the hydrophobic oleic acid ligand during synthesis, is a challenge. To address this, various surface modification strategies' impact on single-particle upconversion luminescence are studied. UCNPs are made hydrophilic through methods like ligand exchange with dye IR806, HCl or NOBF4 treatment, silica coating (SiO2 or mesoporous mSiO2 ), and self-assembly with polymer of DSPE-PEG or F127. The studies revealed that UCNPs modified with NOBF4 and DSPE-PEG exhibited notably higher single-particle brightness with minimal quenching (3% and 8%, respectively), followed by SiO2 , F127, IR806, mSiO2 , and HCl (84% quenching). HCl disrupted UCNPs's crystal lattice, weakening luminescence, while mSiO2 absorbed solvent molecules, causing luminescence quenching. Energy transfer to IR806 also reduced the brightness. Additionally, a prevalence of upconversion red emission over green is observed, with the red-to-green ratio increasing with irradiance. UCNPs coated with DSPE-PEG exhibited the brightest single-particle luminescence in water, retaining 48% of its original emission due to a lower critical micelle concentration and superior water protection. In summary, the investigation provides valuable insights into the role of surface chemistry on UCNPs at the single-particle level.

Abstract
Detection and imaging of cell membrane receptor proteins have gained widespread interest in recent years. However, recognition based on a single biomarker can induce false positive feedback, including off-target phenomenon caused by the absence of tumor-specific antigens. In addition, nucleic acid probes often cause nonspecific and undesired cell internalization during cell imaging. In this work, we constructed a logic gate DNA nano-platform (LGDP) for single-molecule imaging of cell membrane proteins to synergistically diagnose cancer cells. The traffic light-like color response of LGDP facilitates the precise discrimination among different cell lines. Combined with single molecule technology, the target proteins were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed synergistically. Logic-gated recognition integrated in aptamer-functionalized molecular machines will prompt fast cells analysis, laying the foundation of cancer early diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
As an important barrier between the cytoplasm and the microenvironment of the cell, the cell membrane is essential for the maintenance of normal cellular physiological activities. An abnormal cell membrane is a crucial symbol of body dysfunction and the occurrence of variant diseases; therefore, the visualization and monitoring of biomolecules associated with cell membranes and disease markers are of utmost importance in revealing the biological functions of cell membranes. Due to their biocompatibility, programmability, and modifiability, DNA nanomaterials have become increasingly popular in cell fluorescence imaging in recent years. In addition, DNA nanomaterials can be combined with the cell membrane in a specific manner to enable the real-time imaging of signal molecules on the cell membrane, allowing for the real-time monitoring of disease occurrence and progression. This article examines the recent application of DNA nanomaterials for fluorescence imaging on cell membranes. First, we present the conditions for imaging DNA nanomaterials in the cell membrane microenvironment, such as the ATP, pH, etc. Second, we summarize the imaging applications of cell membrane receptors and other molecules. Finally, some difficulties and challenges associated with DNA nanomaterials in the imaging of cell membranes are presented.

Abstract
Sensitivity and specificity are two indispensable requirements to ensure diagnostic accuracy. Dual-locked probes with "AND-gate" logic theory have emerged as a powerful tool to enhance imaging specificity, avoid "false positive" results, and realize correlation analysis. In addition, bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is an excitation-free optical modality with high sensitivity and low background and can thus be combined with a dual-locked strategy for precise disease imaging. Here, we developed a novel AND-gate bioluminescent probe, FK-Luc-BH, which is capable of responding to two different tumor biomarkers (cathepsin L and ClO-). The good specificity of FK-Luc-BH was proven, as an obvious BL signal could only be observed in the solution containing both cathepsin L (CTSL) and ClO-. 4T1-fLuc cells and tumors treated with FK-Luc-BH exhibited significantly higher BL signals than those treated with unresponsive control compound Ac-Luc-EA or cotreated with FK-Luc-BH and a ClO- scavenger/cathepsin inhibitor, demonstrating the ability of FK-Luc-BH to precisely recognize tumors in which CTSL and ClO- coexist.

Abstract
Monitoring the dimerization state of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (Met) was essential for in-depth understanding of the tumor signal transduction network. At present, the dimerization activation pathway of Met protein was mainly studied at the macro level, while the research at the single molecule level was far from comprehensive. Herein, the dimerization activation of Met protein's extracellular domain induced by ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was dynamically studied by single-molecule force spectroscopy. Met protein was immobilized on a biomimetic lipid membrane for ensuring its physiological environment, and then the Met dimers were recognized by bivalent probe which was formed by two Met-binding aptamers. Then the dimeric state of Met protein could be distinguished from monomeric state of Met protein through some parameters, (such as unimodal ratio, bimodal ratio and separation work). The unimodal indicates the occurrence of single molecule binding event, and the bimodal represents the occurrence of double binding event (also represents the presence of Met dimer). Before HGF treatment, most of the Met protein on the lipid membrane was still in the form of monomer, so the unimodal ratio in the force curve was larger (78.8 ± 5.2%), and the bimodal ratio was smaller (17.0 ± 4.1%). After HGF treatment, the unimodal ratio decreased to 54.0 ± 7.4%, and the bimodal ratio increased to 43.2 ± 7.3%. It was due to the formation of dimers after the binding of Met protein on the fluidity lipid membrane with HGF. In addition, the average separation work increased to about 2 times after HGF treatment. Given that studies of Met protein dimerization inhibitors have contributed to the development of more potent and safe inhibitors to significantly inhibit tumor metastasis, the effects of different medicines (including anticoagulant medicines, different antibiotics and anti-cancer medicines) on the dimerization activation of Met protein were then explored by the platform described above. The results showed that anticoagulant medicines heparin and its analogs can significantly inhibit HGF-mediated Met protein activation, while different antibiotics and anticancer medicines had no significant effect on the dimerization of Met protein. This work provided a platform for studying protein dimerization as well as for screening Met protein dimerization inhibitors at the single-molecule level.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive evaluation of low-abundance analytes, particularly with limits approaching a single molecule, is a key challenge in the design of an assay for profiling severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen. Herein, we report an aptamer claw strategy for directly evaluating the SARS-CoV-2 antigen based on gold particle-in-a-frame nanostructures (Au PIAFs). Au PIAF was used as a metal-enhanced fluorescence material. The assay integrated with a microplate reader achieved a sensitivity of 44 fg·mL-1 in under 3 min and accurately detected the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N protein) in human saliva samples. When our assay is combined with a single-molecule counting platform, the limit of detection can be as low as 0.84 ag·mL-1. This rapid and ultrasensitive assay holds promise as a tool for screening SARS-CoV-2 and other contagious viruses.

Abstract
The biological state at the subcellular level is highly relevant to many diseases, and the monitoring of organelles such as mitochondria is crucial based on this. However, most DNA and protein based nanoprobes used for the detection of mitochondrial RNAs (mitomiRs) lack spatial selectivity, which leads to inefficiencies in probe delivery and signal turn-on. Herein, we constructed a novel DNA nanoprobe named protein delivery nano-corona (PDNC) to improve the delivery efficiency of Cas protein, for spatially selective imaging of mitomiRs in living cells switched on by a CRISPR/Cas system. Combined with a single-molecule counting method, this strategy enables highly sensitive detection of low-abundance mitomiR. Therefore, the strategy in this work opens up new opportunities for cell identification, early clinical diagnosis, and research in biological behaviour at the subcellular level.
