Abstract
Biopolymer-based fibrous aggregate materials (BFAMs) have gained increasing attention in biomedicine due to their excellent biocompatibility, processability, biodegradability, and multifunctionality. Especially, the medical applications of BFAMs demand advanced structure, performance, and function, which conventional trial-and-error methods struggle to provide. This necessitates the rational selection of materials and manufacturing methods to design BFAMs with various intended functions and structures. This review summarizes the current progress in raw material selection, structural and functional design, processing technology, and application of BFAMs. Additionally, the challenges encountered during the development of BFAMs are discussed, along with perspectives for future research offered.

Development of fluorescent-photothermal probe based on photoinduced energy transfer: A dual-readout immunosensor for the detection of illegal additive. Biosens Bioelectron 2025; 273:117140. [PMID: 39808993 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2025.117140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 12/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/07/2025] [Indexed: 01/16/2025]
Abstract
The development of advanced optical probes for point-of-care testing holds great importance in the field of diagnostic technologies. This study focused on the synthesis of a probe featuring both fluorescent and photothermal responses with single excitation wavelength, which was achieved through the combination of oxidized camellia oleifera shell powder (OC) and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs). Notably, OC derived from the direct processing of raw material showed fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions simultaneously, and the positions of the two peaks overlapped with the absorbance range of PBNPs, making the fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions of OC effectively quenched by PBNPs. Meanwhile, the photothermal property of PBNPs was activated by the phosphorescent emission of OC through photoinduced energy transfer. As a proof of concept, OC@PBNPs was applied in the dual-channel immunoassay, in which illegal addictive aminopyrine (AP) was chosen as the detection target. Furthermore, a portable device was developed to capture the fluorescent and photothermal signals of OC@PBNPs, rendering the detection method based on OC@PBNPs suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT).

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1309:342665. [PMID: 38772653 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The concentration of cytochrome C is demonstrated to be an effective indicator of the microbial corrosion strength of metals. Traditional cytochrome C sensor can detect cytochrome C with a low detection limit, but their use is limited by their high cost, cumbersome operation, and susceptibility to malignant environments. In addition, studies on the monitoring of cytochrome C in the field of microbial corrosion has still not been carried out. Therefore, there is a need for a highly sensitive, selective, low-cost, anti-interference, and stable cytochrome C sensor with online monitoring and remote sensing capabilities for in-situ measurement of microbial corrosion strength. RESULTS This paper proposed a highly sensitive label-free fiber-optic sensor based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for in-situ measurement of the microbial corrosion marker cytochrome C. Two-dimensional Ti2C-MXene material is uniformly immobilized onto the surface of the sensing area to improve the sensitivity, hydrophilicity, and specific surface area of the sensing area, as well as to facilitate the immobilization of specific sensitive materials. The cytochrome C antibody is modified on the surface of Ti2C-MXene to specifically recognize cytochrome C, whose concentration variation can be measured by monitoring the spectral shift of MZI sensor. Results demonstrate a measurement sensitivity of 1.428 nm/μM for cytochrome C concentrations ranging from 0 to 7.04 μM. The detection limit of the sensor is calculated to be 0.392 μM with remarkable performance, including selectivity, stability, and reliability. Besides, the measurement result of the proposed sensor in real microbial corrosive environment is consistent with that of the ideal environment. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY This is the first instance of achieving in-situ and label-free measurement of cytochrome C by using a fiber-optic MZI sensor, which undoubtedly provides a feasible solution for the effective monitoring of microbial metal corrosion in the environment.

Abstract
Optical biosensors based on micro/nanofibers are highly valuable for probing and monitoring liquid environments and bioactivity. Most current optical biosensors, however, are still based on glass, semiconductors, or metallic materials, which might not be fully suitable for biologically relevant environments. Here, we introduce biocompatible and flexible microfibers from lotus silk as microenvironmental monitors that exhibit waveguiding of intrinsic fluorescence as well as of coupled light. These features make single-filament monitors excellent building blocks for a variety of sensing functions, including pH probing and detection of bacterial activity. These results pave the way for the development of new and entirely eco-friendly, potentially multiplexed biosensing platforms.

Abstract
Noninvasive and sensitive thermometry is crucial to human health monitoring and applications in disease diagnosis. Despite recent advances in optical temperature detection, the construction of sensitive wearable temperature sensors remains a considerable challenge. Here, a flexible and biocompatible optical temperature sensor is developed by combining plasmonic semiconductor W18O49 enhanced upconversion emission (UCNPs/WO) with flexible poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based optical fibers. The UCNPs/WO offers highly thermal-sensitive and obviously enhanced dual-wavelength emissions for ratiometric temperature sensing. The PLA polymer endows the sensor with excellent light-transmitting ability for laser excitation and emission collection and high biocompatibility. The fabricated UCNPs/WO-PLA sensor exhibits stable and rapid temperature response in the range 298-368 K, with a high relative sensitivity of 1.53% K-1 and detection limit as low as ±0.4 K. More importantly, this proposed sensor is demonstrated to possess dual function on real-time detection for physiological thermal changes and heat release, exhibiting great potential in wearable health monitoring and biotherapy applications.

Abstract
Highly sensitive detection of refractive index (RI) is essential for the analysis of the bio-microenvironment and basic cellular reactions. To achieve this, optic-fiber RI sensors based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) have been widely used for their flexibility and high sensitivity. However, the current optic-fiber RI sensors are mainly fabricated using glass, which makes them face the challenges in biocompatibility and biosafety. In this work, a RI sensor with high sensitivity is fabricated using metal-nanostructure-decorated spider silk. The spider silk, which is directly dragged from Araneus ventricosus, is natural protein-based biopolymer with low attenuation, good biocompatibility and biodegradability, large RI, great flexibility, and easy functionalization. Hence, the spider silk can be an ideal alternative to glass for sensing in biological environments with a wide RI range. Different kinds of metal nanostructures, such as gold nanorods (GNRs), gold nanobipyramids (GNBP), and Ag@GNRs, are decorated on the surface of the spider silk utilizing the surface viscidity of the silk. By directing a beam of white light into the spider silk, the LSPR of the metal nanostructures was excited and a highly sensitive RI sensing (the highest sensitivity of 1746 nm per refractive index was achieved on the GNBP-decorated spider silk) was obtained. This work may pave a new way to precise and sensitive biosensing and bioanalysis.

Abstract
The development of green and renewable materials has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Hence, biocomposite-based packaging materials have been investigated to replace petrochemical materials in several industries, such as the food packaging and electronics packaging industries. The tensile and thermal properties of biocomposite-based packaging materials composed of polylactic acid and plant fiber were mainly investigated in the current literature, but fewer studies on the improvement of water resistance and water vapor/oxygen barrier properties of composite materials were performed. Herein, we describe a composite film comprising TBFP [a mixture of bamboo fiber powder (BFP) and silica aerogel powder] that was combined with modified polylactic acid (MPLA) in a melt-mixing process. The structure, morphology, tensile strength, thermal properties, water absorption properties, water vapor/oxygen barrier effect, cytocompatibility, and biodegradability of the composites were characterized. MPLA and TBFP improved the properties of these composites. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction spectra have shown interfacial adhesion of MPLA/TBFP, resulting in a tighter structure. Hence, the MPLA/TBFP composite had higher elongation at failure (ε), tensile strength at failure (δ), Young's modulus (E), initial decomposition temperature at 5 wt % loss (T5%), residual yields, oxygen transmission rate, contact angles, lower thermal conductivity (k) values, water vapor transmission rate, and water absorption and biodegradability compared with PLA and PLA/BFP. It indicates that the MPLA/TBFP composites exhibited more favorable tensile strength, water resistance, and water vapor/oxygen barrier than the PLA and PLA/BFP composites. Cell growth analysis showed that the MPLA/TBFP and PLA/BFP composites own good cytocompatibility. Moreover, the biodegradability of the PLA/BFP and MPLA/TBFP composites increased with the filler (BFP or TBFP) concentration. Because of these improvements in their properties, composites can be used as packing materials in many perspectives.
