Abstract
Abnormal levels (high/low) of urinary human serum albumin (HSA) are associated with a number of diseases and thus act as an essential biomarker for quick therapeutic monitoring and biomedical diagnosis, entailing the urgent development of an effective chemosensor to quantify the albumin levels. Herein, we have rationally designed and developed a small fluorogenic molecular probe, (Z)-2-(5-((8-hydroxy-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-9-yl) methylene)-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl) acetic acid (HJRA) with a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) property, which can easily self-assemble into nonfluorescent nanoaggregates in aqueous solution. However, HJRA nanoaggregates can selectively bind with serum albumin proteins (HSA/BSA) in ∼100% PBS medium, thereby facilitating the disassembly of nanoaggregates into monomers, exhibiting a clear turn-on red fluorescent response toward HSA and BSA. Analysis of the specific binding mechanism between HJRA and HSA using a site-selective fluorescence displacement assay and molecular docking simulations indicates that a variety of noncovalent interactions are responsible for the disassembly of nanoaggregates with the concomitant trapping of the HJRA monomer at site I in HSA, yielding a substantial red emission caused by the inhibition of intramolecular rotation of HJRA probe inside the hydrophobic cavity of HSA. The limit of detection (LOD) determined by the 3σ/slope method was found to be 1.13 nM, which is substantially below the normal HSA concentration level in healthy urine, signifying the very high sensitivity of the probe toward HSA. The comparable results and quick response toward quantification of HSA in urine by HJRA with respect to the Bradford method clearly point toward the superiority of this method compared to the existing ones and may lead to biomedical applications for HSA quantification in urine. It may also find potential application in live-cell imaging of HSA.

Abstract
The need for efficient probing, sensing, and control of the bioactivity of biomolecules (e.g., albumins) has led to the engineering of new fluorescent albumins' markers fulfilling very specific chemical, physical, and biological requirements. Here, we explore acetone-derived polymer dots (PDs) as promising candidates for albumin probes, with special attention paid to their cytocompatibility, two-photon absorption properties, and strong ability to non-destructively interact with serum albumins. The PDs show no cytotoxicity and exhibit high photostability. Their pronounced green fluorescence is observed upon both one-photon excitation (OPE) and two-photon excitation (TPE). Our studies show that both OPE and TPE emission responses of PDs are proteinaceous environment-sensitive. The proteins appear to constitute a matrix for the dispersion of fluorescent PDs, limiting both their aggregation and interactions with the aqueous environment. It results in a large enhancement of PD fluorescence. Meanwhile, the PDs do not interfere with the secondary protein structures of albumins, nor do they induce their aggregation, enabling the PD candidates to be good nanomarkers for non-destructive probing and sensing of albumins.

Abstract
Nonspecific interactions of conjugated polymers (CPs) with various proteins prove to be a major impediment for researchers when designing a suitable CP-based probe for the amplified and selective recognition of particular proteins in complex body fluids. Herein, a new strategy is presented for the precise and specific monitoring of clinically important serum albumin (SA) proteins at the nanomolar level using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-modulated CP-surfactant ensembles as superior sensing materials. In brief, the newly designed color-tunable CP PF-DBT-Im undergoes intense aggregation with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), enabling drastic change in the emission color from violet to deep red due to intermolecular FRET. The emission of PF-DBT-Im/SDS ensembles then changed from deep red to magenta specifically on addition of SAs owing to the exclusive reverse FRET facilitated by synergistic effects of electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic forces, and the comparatively high intrinsic quantum yield of SAs. Interestingly, PF-DBT-Im itself could not differentiate SAs from other proteins, demonstrating the superiority of the PF-DBT-Im/SDS self-assembly over PF-DBT-Im. Finally, an affordable smartphone-integrated point-of-care (PoC) device is also fabricated as a proof-of-concept for the on-site and rapid monitoring of SAs, validating the potential of the system in long-term clinical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, with the rapid development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors, more luminophores have been designed to achieve high-throughput and reliable analysis. Impressively, after the proposed fantastic concept of "aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL)" by Cola, the application of AIECL emitters provides more abundant choices for the further improvement of ECL sensors. In this review, we briefly report the phenomenon, principle and representative applications of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and AIECL emitters. Moreover, it is noteworthy that the cases of AIECL sensors for bioanalytical detection are summarized in detail, from 2017 to now. Finally, inspired by the applications of AIECL emitters, relevant prospects and challenges for AIECL sensors are proposed, which is of great significance for exploring more advanced bioanalytical detection technology.

Abstract
It is urgently needed to develop NIR-fluorescent probe for detection of human serum albumin (HSA) since the interference of short-wavelength-fluorescence from endogenous species in real serum and urine. However, most previous reports were located in the short-wavelength region (<600 nm). In this work, a series of dicyanoisophorone (DCO)-based fluorophores 1-4 with different donor groups have been designed and investigated. A systematic study of their photophysical properties has been carried out. Among these probes, 4 exhibited NIR emission with the highest fluorescence brightness and the most sensitive signal response to HSA. Further studies demonstrated that 4 could strongly bind into the DS1 pocket of HSA with a 1:1 ratio. Importantly, the method based on 4 has been proven to be capable of sensing HSA in real serum and urine samples.

Abstract
Sensitive and quantitative detection of prostate cancer (PC) requires a chemosensor with an applicable sensing strategy. A star-shaped Schiff base triaminoguanidine-integrated thiophene fluorophore TAT was rationally designed with nitrogen and sulfur atoms to coordinate with Zn2+ as the initial step and to chelate with citrate as the following step. Formation of the complex TAT-Zn2+ induced an intramolecular charge transfer and caused a red-shifted, Zn2+ concentration-dependent fluorescence at 507 nm. Chelation of TAT-Zn2+ with citrate led to an emission band at 692 nm upon an aggregation-induced emission mechanism. The distinctive fluorescence emissions of Zn2+ and citrate biomarkers were demonstrated first in on-site paper-based test strips showing gradually enhanced colors at yellow and red channels and second in both in vitro and in vivo by using PC3 cells and BALB/c nude mouse animal models, respectively. The in vitro test confirmed the mitochondria organelle-targeting property of TAT, and the in vivo performance manifested the successful application of the probe in recognizing the prostate cancer. This is the first applicable chemosensor that could be in continuous recognition of dual PC biomarkers Zn2+ and citrate in cancer diagnosis with a mitochondria organelle-targeting ability.
