Abstract
Diabetes is a major global health concern, with millions of annual deaths. Monitoring glucose levels is vital for clinical management, and urine samples offer a noninvasive alternative to blood samples. Optical techniques for urine glucose sensing have gained notable traction due to their cost-effectiveness and portability. Among these methods, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has attracted considerable attention thanks to its remarkable sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities. However, challenges remain in achieving reliable quantification through SERS. In this study, an alternative approach is proposed to enhance quantification involving the use of dual probes. Each probe is encoded with unique SERS signatures strategically positioned in the biologically silent region. One probe indicates the glucose presence, while the other acts as an internal reference for calibration. This setup enables ratiometric analysis of the SERS signal, directly correlating it with the glucose concentration. The fabrication of the sensor relies on the prefunctionalization of Fe sheets using an aryl diazonium salt bearing a -C≡CH group (internal reference), followed by the immobilization of Ag nanoparticles modified with an aryl diazonium salt bearing a -B(OH)2 group (for glucose capture). A secondary probe bearing a -B(OH)2 group on one side and a -C≡N group on the other side enables the ratiometric analysis by forming a sandwich-like structure in the presence of glucose (glucose indicator). Validation studies in aqueous solutions and artificial urine demonstrated the high spectral stability and the potential of this dual-probe nanosensor for sensitive glucose monitoring in clinical settings.

Abstract
Spectroscopic studies increasingly employ Raman tags exhibiting a signal in the cell - silent region of the Raman spectrum (1800-2800 cm-1), where bands arising from biological molecules are inherently absent. Raman tags bearing functional groups which contain a triple bond, such as alkyne and nitrile or a carbon-deuterium bond, have a distinct vibrational frequency in this region. Due to the lack of spectral background and cell-associated bands in the specific area, the implementation of those tags can help overcome the inherently poor signal-to-noise ratio and presence of overlapping Raman bands in measurements of biological samples. The cell - silent Raman tags allow for bioorthogonal imaging of biomolecules with improved chemical contrast and they have found application in analyte detection and monitoring, biomarker profiling and live cell imaging. This review focuses on the potential of the cell - silent Raman region, reporting on the tags employed for biomedical applications using variants of Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
A Ag@AuNP-functionalized capillary-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing platform for the interference-free detection of glucose using SERS tags with a built-in nitrile signal has been proposed in this work. Capillary-based SERS capture substrates were prepared by connecting 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MBA) to the surface of the Ag@AuNP layer anchored on the inner wall of the capillaries. The SERS tags with a built-in interference-free signal could then be fixed onto the Ag@AuNP layer of the capillary-based capture substrate based on the distinguished feature of glucose, which can form a bidentate glucose-boronic complex. Thus, many "hot spots" were formed, which produced an improved SERS signal. The quantitative analysis of glucose levels was realized using the interference-free SERS intensity of nitrile at 2222 cm-1, with a detection limit of about 0.059 mM. Additionally, the capillary-based disposable SERS sensing platform was successfully employed to detect glucose in artificial urine, and the new strategy has great potential to be further applied in the diagnosis and control of diabetes.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism and glycolysis play crucial roles in the progression and metastasis of cancer, and the use of 3-bromopyruvate (3-BP) as an antiglycolytic agent has shown promise in killing pancreatic cancer cells. However, developing an effective strategy to avoid chemoresistance requires the ability to probe the interaction of cancer drugs with complex tumor-associated microenvironments (TAMs). Unfortunately, no robust and multiplexed molecular imaging technology is currently available to analyze TAMs. In this study, the simultaneous profiling of three protein biomarkers using SERS nanotags and antibody-functionalized nanoparticles in a syngeneic mouse model of pancreatic cancer (PC) is demonstrated. This allows for comprehensive information about biomarkers and TAM alterations before and after treatment. These multimodal imaging techniques include surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), immunohistochemistry (IHC), polarized light microscopy, second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), and untargeted liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. The study reveals the efficacy of 3-BP in treating pancreatic cancer and identifies drug treatment-induced lipid species remodeling and associated pathways through bioinformatics analysis.

Abstract
A facile and sensitive glucose sandwich assay using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been developed. Glucose was captured by 3-aminopheyonyl boronic acid (APBA) modified Ag nanoparticles decorated onto a polyamide surface. Then, Ag nanoparticles modified with 3-amino-6-ethynylpicolinonitrile (AEPO) and APBA were used as SERS tags. APBA forms specific cis-diol compounds with glucose molecules avoiding interference by other saccharides and biomolecules in urine enabling its selective detection. As the actual Raman reporter, AEPO exhibited a distinctive SERS peak in the Raman silent region, thus increasing the sensitivity of the glucose detection to 10-11 M. Additionally, the developed SERS assay was reusable, and its applicability in artificial urine samples demonstrated future clinical utility confirming the potential of this innovative technology as a diagnostic tool for glucose sensing.

Abstract
Sucrose is a primary metabolite in plants, a source of energy, a source of carbon atoms for growth and development, and a regulator of biochemical processes. Most of the traditional analytical chemistry methods for sucrose quantification in plants require sample treatment (with consequent tissue destruction) and complex facilities, that do not allow real-time sucrose quantification at ultra-low concentrations (nM to pM range) under in vivo conditions, limiting our understanding of sucrose roles in plant physiology across different plant tissues and cellular compartments. Some of the above-mentioned problems may be circumvented with the use of bio-compatible ligands for molecular recognition of sucrose. Nevertheless, problems such as the signal-noise ratio, stability, and selectivity are some of the main challenges limiting the use of molecular recognition methods for the in vivo quantification of sucrose. In this review, we provide a critical analysis of the existing analytical chemistry tools, biosensors, and synthetic ligands, for sucrose quantification and discuss the most promising paths to improve upon its limits of detection. Our goal is to highlight the criteria design need for real-time, in vivo, highly sensitive and selective sucrose sensing capabilities to enable further our understanding of living organisms, the development of new plant breeding strategies for increased crop productivity and sustainability, and ultimately to contribute to the overarching need for food security.

Abstract
Glucose detection is of vital importance to diabetes diagnosis and treatment. Optical approaches in glucose sensing have received much attention in recent years due to the relatively low cost, portable, and mini-invasive or non-invasive potentials. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) endows the benefits of extremely high sensitivity because of enhanced signals and specificity due to the fingerprint of molecules of interest. However, the direct detection of glucose through SERS was challenging because of poor adsorption of glucose on bare metals and low cross section of glucose. In order to address these challenges, several approaches were proposed and utilized for glucose detection through SERS. This review article mainly focuses on the development of surface enhanced Raman scattering based glucose sensors in recent 10 years. The sensing mechanisms, rational design and sensing properties to glucose are reviewed. Two strategies are summarized as intrinsic sensing and extrinsic sensing. Four general categories for glucose sensing through SERS are discussed including SERS active platform, partition layer functionalized surface, boronic acid based sensors, and enzymatic reaction based biosensors. Finally, the challenges and outlook for SERS based glucose sensors are also presented.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), as an important tool for interface research, occupies a place in the field of molecular detection and analysis due to its extremely high detection sensitivity and fingerprint characteristics. Substantial efforts have been put into the improvement of the enhancement factor (EF) by way of modifying SERS substrates. Recently, MoS2 has emerged as one of the most promising substrates for SERS, which is also exploited as a complementary platform on the conventional metal SERS substrates to optimize the properties. In this minireview, the fundamentals of MoS2-related SERS are first explicated. Then, the synthesis, advances and applications of MoS2-based substrates are illustrated with special emphasis on their practical applications in food safety, biomedical sensing and environmental monitoring, together with the corresponding challenges. This review is expected to arouse broad interest in nonplasmonic MoS2-related materials along with their mechanisms, and to promote the development of SERS studies.

Abstract
Herein, a facile and fast surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method with ratiometric strategy was developed for detection of 4-methylimidazole (4-MI). Via a chemical derivatization reaction with 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (AMTA) diazonium salts, 4-MI could be converted to SERS-sensitive species. The SERS intensity ratio between the peaks at 1243 cm-1 and 1110 cm-1 (I1243/I1110) was used for the quantification of 4-MI. In addition, the method sensitivity was further improved by the aggregation of beta-cyclodextrin-modified Ag nanoparticles (beta-CD-AgNPs). Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) for 4-MI were 1.7 nM (S/N = 3) and 5.7 nM (S/N = 10), respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 0.5 μM 4-MI was 8.2% (n = 20). This method was successfully used for the determination of 4-MI in cola samples with recoveries ranging from 92% to 106%. The present method is convenient, sensitive, selective, reliable and may have a promising application in determination of the compounds with an imidazole ring containing active hydrogen atoms.

Abstract
The demand of glucose monitoring devices and even of updated guidelines for the management of diabetic patients is dramatically increasing due to the progressive rise in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and the need to prevent its complications. Even though the introduction of the first glucose sensor occurred decades ago, important advances both from the technological and clinical point of view have contributed to a substantial improvement in quality healthcare. This review aims to bring together purely technological and clinical aspects of interest in the field of glucose devices by proposing a roadmap in glucose monitoring and management of patients with diabetes. Also, it prospects other biological fluids to be examined as further options in diabetes care, and suggests, throughout the technology innovation process, future directions to improve the follow-up, treatment, and clinical outcomes of patients.

Abstract
Speedy, point-of-need detection and monitoring of small-molecule metabolites are vital across diverse applications ranging from biomedicine to agri-food and environmental surveillance. Nanomaterial-based sensor (nanosensor) platforms are rapidly emerging as excellent candidates for versatile and ultrasensitive detection owing to their highly configurable optical, electrical and electrochemical properties, fast readout, as well as portability and ease of use. To translate nanosensor technologies for real-world applications, key challenges to overcome include ultralow analyte concentration down to ppb or nM levels, complex sample matrices with numerous interfering species, difficulty in differentiating isomers and structural analogues, as well as complex, multidimensional datasets of high sample variability. In this Perspective, we focus on contemporary and emerging strategies to address the aforementioned challenges and enhance nanosensor detection performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and multiplexing capability. We outline 3 main concepts: (1) customization of designer nanosensor platform configurations via chemical- and physical-based modification strategies, (2) development of hybrid techniques including multimodal and hyphenated techniques, and (3) synergistic use of machine learning such as clustering, classification and regression algorithms for data exploration and predictions. These concepts can be further integrated as multifaceted strategies to further boost nanosensor performances. Finally, we present a critical outlook that explores future opportunities toward the design of next-generation nanosensor platforms for rapid, point-of-need detection of various small-molecule metabolites. Overview of the current status on emerging, multi-faceted nanosensor platform designs and data analysis strategies for rapid, point-of-need detection and monitoring of small-molecule metabolites.![]()

Abstract
Human pepsin is a digestive protease that plays an important role in the human digestive system. The secondary structure of human pepsin determines its bioactivity. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of human pepsin secondary structure changes is particularly important for the further improvement of the efficiency of human pepsin biological function. However, the complexity and diversity of the human pepsin secondary structure make its analysis difficult. Herein, a convenient method has been developed to quickly detect the secondary structure of human pepsin using a portable Raman spectrometer. According to the change of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) signal intensity and activity of human pepsin at different pH values, we analyze the change of the human pepsin secondary structure. The results show that the content of the β-sheet gradually increased with the increase in the pH in the active range, which is in good agreement with circular dichroism (CD) measurements. The change of the secondary structure improves the sensitivity of human pepsin SERS detection. Meanwhile, human pepsin is a commonly used disease marker for the noninvasive diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); the detection limit of human pepsin we obtained is 2 μg/mL by the abovementioned method. The real clinical detection scenario is also simulated by spiking pepsin solution in saliva, and the standard recovery rate is 80.7-92.3%. These results show the great prospect of our method in studying the protein secondary structure and furthermore promote the application of SERS in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
A set of metal carbonyl cluster-boronic acid conjugates of the group VIII metals (Fe, Ru, and Os) were synthesized and their antiproliferative effects measured against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and a noncancerous breast epithelial (MCF-10A) cell line. The cytotoxicity followed the order Ru > Os > Fe for the MDA-MB-231 cells, although the latter two exhibited similar cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells. The osmium species {Os3(CO)10(μ-H)[μ-SC6H4-p-B(OH)2]} (2) could be chemically oxidized to its hydroxy analogue [Os3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-SC6H4 -p-OH)] (2-OH), which showed comparable cytotoxicity. Mode of action studies pointed to an apoptotic pathway for cell death.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the primary material basis for the non-peroxide antibacterial activity (NPA) of manuka honey from New Zealand. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the quality or discriminate the grade of honey because no all manuka honeys on the market display the NPA. The current routine method employed for the detection of MGO involves high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) test. However, it requires long time (∼8 h) for sample derivatization. Herein, we report an intrinsic Raman signal amplification strategy for the rapid identification and detection of MGO by using silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) along with a high selective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe 8-thioguanosine (8-TG). 8-TG is synthesized via the derivatization of 8-bromoguanosine (8-BG) with thiourea, and its Raman peak assignments were confirmed by computer simulation. The detection is performed through the Raman intensity ratio (I631/I700) variation of N2-(1-carboxyethyl)-thioguanosine (CETG) formed by the reaction between 8-TG and MGO on surface of Au@Ag NPs, where one CETG Raman intensity at 631 cm-1 increases while the other one at 700 cm-1 decreases oppositely. The opposite change not only yields an intrinsic Raman signal amplification, but also provides built-in correction. As a result, the proposed SERS method exhibits high sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the whole analytical test is achieved within ∼20 min. The method can be used for the fast detection of MGO in manuka honey and discrimination of the honey grade.

Abstract
A method to realize surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) at a titanium alloy substrate for glucose detection has been experimentally demonstrated. A silver-coated laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) was prepared via femtosecond laser micro-processing. The low detection limit of glucose is 10-7mol/L and, a good linear relationship between the glucose concentration and Raman intensity is found in the range between 1×10-7 and 1×10-3mol/L. Moreover, we investigate SERS detection for glucose sensing in human urine samples, while the results are in good agreement with clinical results. The Letter provides a facile method for producing a structure-controlled SERS substrate to realize glucose detection, which is promising for long-term in vivo diagnostics.

Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy in combination with innovative tagging strategies offers great potential as a universal high-throughput biomedical imaging tool. Here, we report rationally tailored small molecular monomers containing triple-bond units with large Raman scattering cross-sections, which can be polymerized at the nanoscale for enhancement of SRS contrast with smaller but brighter optical nanotags with artificial fingerprint output. From this, a class of triple-bond rich polymer nanoparticles (NPs) was engineered by regulating the relative dosages of three chemically different triple-bond monomers in co-polymerization. The bonding strategy allowed for 15 spectrally distinguishable triple-bond combinations. These accurately structured nano molecular aggregates, rather than long-chain macromolecules, could establish a universal method for generating small-sized biological SRS imaging tags with high sensitivity for high-throughput multi-color biomedical imaging.

Abstract
The limited availability of nasopharyngeal carcinoma-related progression biomarker array kits that offer physicians comprehensive information is disadvantageous for monitoring cancer progression. To develop a biomarker array kit, systematic identification and differentiation of a large number of distinct molecular surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) reporters with high spectral temporal resolution is a major challenge. To address this unmet need, we use the chemistry of metal carbonyls to construct a series of unique SERS reporters with the potential to provide logical and highly multiplex information during testing. In this study, we report that geometric control over metal carbonyls on nanotags can produce 14 distinct barcodes that can be decoded unambiguously using commercial Raman spectroscopy. These metal carbonyl nanobarcodes are tested on human blood samples and show strong sensitivity (0.07 ng/mL limit of detection, average CV of 6.1% and >92% degree of recovery) and multiplexing capabilities for MMPs.

Abstract
Abstract
With increasing diabetes patients in the near future, development of non-enzymatic glucose biosensor is highly demanded due to their greater sensitivity and resistance to external stimuli compared to enzymatic biosensors. Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4, ZFO) nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated using a simple solution combustion method together with freeze drying. The NPs have high crystallinity, large aspect ratios and narrow size distributions. Plenty of defects have been induced during lyophilisation and greatly improves the glucose biosensing performance during electrochemistry test. The freeze-dried ZFO NPs are highly crystalline and agglomeration-free, these assures the sample with high sensitivity, superior selectivity, low detection limit and outstanding stability for electrochemical glucose biosensing.

Abstract
On-demand screening, real-time monitoring and rapid diagnosis of ubiquitous diseases, such as diabetes, at early stages are indispensable in personalised treatment. Emerging impacts of nano/microscale materials on optical and portable biosensor strips and devices have become increasingly important in the remarkable development of sensitive visualisation (i.e. visible inspection by the human eye) assays, low-cost analyses and personalised home testing of patients with diabetes. With the increasing public attention regarding the self-monitoring of diabetes, the development of visual readout, easy-to-use and wearable biosensors has gained considerable interest. Our comprehensive review bridges the practical assessment gap between optical bio-visualisation assays, disposable test strips, sensor array designs and full integration into flexible skin-based or contact lens devices with the on-site wireless signal transmission of glucose detection in physiological fluids. To date, the fully modulated integration of nano/microscale optical biosensors into wearable electronic devices, such as smartphones, is critical to prolong periods of indoor and outdoor clinical diagnostics. Focus should be given to the improvements of invasive, wireless and portable sensing technologies to improve the applicability and reliability of screen display, continuous monitoring, dynamic data visualisation, online acquisition and self and in-home healthcare management of patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Sucrose is the main saccharide used for long-distance transport in plants and plays an essential role in energy metabolism; however, there are no analogues for real-time imaging in live cells. We have optimised a synthetic approach to prepare sucrose analogues including very small (≈50 Da or less) Raman tags in the fructose moiety. Spectroscopic analysis identified the alkyne-tagged compound 6 as a sucrose analogue recognised by endogenous transporters in live cells and with higher Raman intensity than other sucrose derivatives. Herein, we demonstrate the application of compound 6 as the first optical probe to visualise real-time uptake and intracellular localisation of sucrose in live plant cells using Raman microscopy.

Abstract
The detection of carbohydrates in human body fluids is critical for disease diagnosis and healthy monitoring. Despite recent advances in glucose sensing, multiplex detection of different carbohydrates within a single assay that is capable of efficiently providing richer health information remains challenging. Herein, we report a versatile surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based platform for the quantitative detection of monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, and galactose) in one test using a displace-and-trap mechanism. Moreover, due to the use of multiple optical interference-free (1800-2200 cm-1) signal-independent Raman probes, the detection range of this platform (0.125-7 mg/dL) perfectly covers physiological concentrations, enabling the quantitative detection of glucose and galactose in clinical human saliva samples. This work provides a noninvasive and high-efficiency potential tool for the screening of clinical diabetes and other carbohydrate-related diseases.

Abstract
The accurate detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-involved metabolites plays a significant role in the early diagnosis of metabolism-associated diseases, whereas most of current metabolite-sensing systems are often hindered by low sensitivity, interference of coexisting species, or tedious preparation. Herein, an electrochemistry-regenerated surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor was developed to serve as a universal platform for detecting H2O2-involved metabolites. The SERS sensor was constructed by modifying newly synthesized 2-mercaptohydroquinone (2-MHQ) molecules on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that were electrochemically predeposited on an ITO electrode. Metabolites were detected through the changes in the SERS spectrum as a result of the reaction of 2-MHQ with H2O2 induced by the metabolites. Combining the superiority of SERS fingerprint identification and the specificity of the related enzymatic reactions producing H2O2, the designed SERS sensor was highly selective in detecting glucose and uric acid as models of H2O2-involved metabolite with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.159 μM and 0.0857 μM, respectively. Moreover, the sensor maintained a high SERS activity even after more than 10 electrochemical regenerations within 2 min, demonstrating its effectiveness for the rapid detection of various metabolites with electrochemistry-driven regulation. Importantly, the presented SERS sensor showed considerable practicability for the detection of metabolites in real serum samples. Accordingly, the SERS sensor is a new detection platform for H2O2-involved metabolites detection in biological fluids, which may aid the early diagnosis of metabolism-related diseases.

Abstract
In this work, the monodisperse polystyrene colloidal particles/Ag/zeolite imidazole framework (PS/Ag/ZIF-8) substrate was successfully prepared and served as SERS active substrate. The composition, structure and morphology of the PS/Ag/ZIF-8 substrates were studied by XRD, SEM, UV-Vis and XPS measurements. The main finding of this study was that the as-prepared PS/Ag/ZIF-8 substrate could exhibit outstanding SERS property when 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) was used as the SERS probes. The SERS mechanism was attributed to the combined effect of the electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement (CT). In addition, the SERS behavior of the sandwich PS/Ag/ZIF-8 substrate exhibit a laser wavelength-dependence CT effect with changing the laser source (473 nm, 514 nm, 633 nm and 785 nm). The wavelength-dependence CT mechanism were discussed briefly in the article. The results showed that the chemical interaction in the structure is a necessary condition for occurrence of the CT. The CT process can be evaluated quantitatively by the charge transfer degree (ρCT). Moreover, the enhancement factor (EF) of 1.23 × 106 was obtained with 4-MBA probes adsorbed on the synthesized PS/Ag/ZIF-8 substrate. More importantly, our research may open the door for developing the SERS substrate research with the well-studied metal-organic frameworks nanostructures materials.

Abstract
Rational design of detection strategy is the key to high-performance fluorescence analysis. In this article, we found that the glucose-induced limitations can greatly enhance the fluorescence of functionalized carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), which are synthesized through one-step thermal pyrolysis method using phenylboronic acid derivative as the precursors. The glucose can assembly onto the surface of the CNPs to form a "shell", limiting the surfaces' intramolecular rotation and reducing non-radiative decay, which hence resulted in enhanced fluorescence of the CNPs. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity of the CNPs is nearly 70-fold enhanced, and the method has low detection limit (10 μM) and linear response in the concentration range from 50 μM to 2000 μM. Based on this interesting "target-triggered limitation-induced fluorescence enhancement" phenomenon, a simple and effective non-enzymatic fluorescence enhancement method was developed and successfully applied to the determination of glucose in spiked serum samples. This work provides new insight into the design of fluorescence-enhanced detection strategies based on the limitation-induced property.

Abstract
Boronic acids are the key compounds in Suzuki coupling reactions and in the detection of monosaccharides. The C-B bond cleavage deboronation is an important side reaction that lowers the Suzuki coupling reaction yield and even disables saccharide detection. Here, we report that protodeboronation occurs for 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) within narrow nanogaps between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and planar gold substrates. The irradiation of such nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) systems at 785 nm drives the protodeboronation reaction to form benzenethiol (BT). Wavelength-dependence experiments, combined with dark-field single-particle scattering spectroscopy, reveal that excitation of the bonding dipole plasmon mode of the NPoM leads to the best efficiency. Among the excited plasmon decay pathways, the generation of hot charge carriers induces the protodeboronation of MPBA. The possibility of plasmonic thermal reactions is ruled out because external heating of the substrates does not cause the reaction to take place. A comparison of the reaction yield under ambient, Ar, and oxygen gas conditions reveals that hot charge carriers directly transfer to MPBA, which subsequently produces BT, but the presence of oxygen promotes the reaction by opening another hot-electron transfer channel. The protodeboronation reaction of MPBA is an important addition to the catalog of plasmon-driven chemical reactions, not only because the reaction is relevant to organic and analytical chemistry but also because it deepens our understanding of the hot carrier dynamics at the interface between plasmonic nanoparticles and molecules.

Abstract
Tumor cells are characterized by increased reactive oxygen species production in parallel with an enhanced antioxidant system to avoid oxidative damage. The inhibition of antioxidant systems is an effective way to kill cancer cells, and the thioredoxin system or, more specifically, the cytosolic selenocysteine-containing enzyme thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) has become an interesting target for cancer therapy. We show here that the known cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing osmium carbonyl cluster Os3(CO)10(NCCH3)2 (1) is a nonsubstrate inhibitor of mammalian TrxR, with an IC50 of 5.3 ± 0.9 μM. It inhibits TrxR selectively over the closely related glutathione reductase (GR) and in the presence of excess reduced glutathione (GSH). This inhibition has also been demonstrated in cell lysates, suggesting that TrxR inhibition is a potential apoptotic pathway for 1.

Abstract
A background-free photoinduced enhanced Raman (PIER) probe for highly sensitive detection of tyrosine dimerization process due to oxidative reaction in inflammatory cells is presented. The PIER probe could monitor oxidative reaction in real time by producing time-resolved spectral with discrete changes in Raman intensity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on C≡C probes with PIER and vastly improved Raman activity. These results will contribute to the cutting edge of development of stable and highly sensitive chemical imaging technology.

Abstract
In recent years, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a prominent tool for probing molecular interaction and reaction with single-molecule sensitivity. Here we use SERS to investigate the dynamic changes of the cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) based plasmonic molecular junctions in solution, which are spontaneously formed by the adsorption of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) at the CB[7] modified gold nanoelectrode (GNE) surface. The typical fingerprint Raman peaks of CB[7] are very weak in the SERS spectra. However, chemically enhanced peaks are prominent in the spectra due to the charge transfer across the metal-molecule interface through specific noncovalent interactions between the gold atoms and CB[7] or its guest molecule. We first investigated the selectively enhanced and greatly shifted C[double bond, length as m-dash]O peak of CB[7] in the SERS spectra. Based on the bias-dependent changes of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O peak, we found the gold-carbonyl interaction was strengthened by the positive bias applied to the GNE, resulting in stable CB[7] junctions. Next, we found the CB[7] junction could also be stabilized by the inclusion of a guest molecule amino-ferrocene, attributed to the interactions between gold adatoms and the cyclopentadienyl ring of the guest molecule. Because this interaction is sensitive to the orientation of the guest molecule in the cavity, we revealed the rotational motion of a guest molecule inside the CB[7] cavity based on the dynamic spectral changes of the cyclopentadienyl ring peak.

Abstract
Background:
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major public metabolic disease that influences
366 million people in the world in 2011, and this number is predicted to rise to 552 million in 2030.
DM is clinically diagnosed by a fasting blood glucose that is equal or greater than 7 mM. Therefore,
the development of effective glucose biosensor has attracted extensive attention worldwide. Fluorescence-
based strategies have sparked tremendous interest due to their rapid response, facile operation,
and excellent sensitivity. Many fluorescent compounds have been employed for precise analysis of
glucose, including quantum dots, noble metal nanoclusters, up-converting nanoparticles, organic
dyes, and composite fluorescent microspheres. Silicon dot as promising quantum dots materials have
received extensive attention, owing to their distinct advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity
and high photostability.
Methods:
MnO2 nanosheets on the Si nanoparticles (NPs) surface serve as a quencher. Si NPs fluorescence
can make a recovery by the addition of H2O2, which can reduce MnO2 to Mn2+, and the glucose
can thus be monitored based on the enzymatic conversion of glucose by glucose oxidase to generate
H2O2. Therefore, the glucose concentration can be derived by recording the fluorescence recovery
spectra of the Si NPs.
Results:
This probe enabled selective detection of glucose with a linear range of 1-100 μg/mL and a
limit of detection of 0.98 μg/mL. Compared with the commercial glucometer, this method showed
favorable results and convincing reliability.
Conclusion:
We have developed a novel method based on MnO2 -nanosheet-modified Si NPs for
rapid monitoring of blood glucose levels. By combining the highly sensitive H2O2/MnO2 reaction
with the excellent photostability of Si NPs, a highly sensitive, selective, and cost-efficient sensing
approach for glucose detection has been designed and applied to monitor glucose levels in human serum
with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Glucose detection using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has aroused considerable attention due to its potential in the prevention and diagnosis of diabetes as a result of its unique molecular fingerprinting capability, ultrahigh sensitivity and minimal interference from water. Despite numerous solutions to improve the sensitivity of glucose detection, the development of a new SERS-based strategy to detect glucose with high sensitivity and low-cost is still required. In this study, we propose a simple and sensitive SERS-based plasmonic metasurface sensing platform for a glucose sandwich assay using self-assembled p-mercapto-phenylboronic acid (PMBA) monolayers on a gold nanodisk (Au-ND) metasurface and synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) modified with a mixture of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) and PMBA. The localized near-field of the proposed plasmonic metasurface is markedly enhanced due to the coupling between the Au-ND and Ag NPs, which greatly improves detection sensitivity. The experimental results show that SERS signals of the glucose assay are significantly enhanced by more than 8-fold, in comparison with the SERS substrate of smooth Au films and Ag NPs. Moreover, the plasmonic metasurface-based glucose sandwich assay exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity for glucose over fructose and galactose. The developed plasmonic metasurface sensing platform shows enormous potential for highly sensitive and selective SERS-based glucose detection and opens a new avenue for scalable and cost-effective biosensing applications in the future.

Abstract
To monitor d-glucose (Glu) in complex aqueous media with a high specificity, a conceptually new "selective capture and controllable detection" nanoreactor was explored. We designed and synthesized poly maleic anhydride-styrene-N-isopropylacrylamide-(4-aminophenyl) boronic acid [P(MAn-St-NIPAm-PBA)] to fabricate the nanoreactor. On the surface of the self-assembled, micelle-based nanoreactor, the stereo precise placement PBA provided a recognition unit in the block copolymer structure to boost the selective capture of Glu over other saccharides. P(MAn-St-NIPAm) served as the thermal sensitive moiety of the nanoreactor, which embedded with glucose oxidase and myoglobin-based catalyst in order to realize the controllable enzymolysis of Glu through temperature alteration. Once the nanoreactor was mixed with Glu, an obvious change in the UV-visible intensity of quinine produced in the multienzymolysis was observed. Glu in the rat microdialysates of brain ischemia was successfully monitored by the nanoreactor method, demonstrating the feasibility of constructing high-specificity nanoreactors for cerebral system applications.

Abstract
Based on blood serum surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis, this paper proposed a simple and unlabeled non-invasive serum detection for T. spiralis infection. Serum samples were collected and analyzed from 40 rats at 0 days post infection (dpi) (normal rats), 19 uninfected rats, and 16 rats infected with T. spiralis at 28 dpi, using SERS measurements. Multivariate statistical techniques, such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and principal components analysis (PCA), were used to analyze and identify the obtained blood serum SERS spectra. The diagnosis algorithms, based on PCA-LDA, achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 94.7%, and an accuracy of 91.4% for separating the samples infected with T. spiralis from the control samples. This exploratory study demonstrated that colloidal Ag NPs-based SERS serum analysis technique combined with PCA-LDA has a great potential in improving the detection of T. spiralis infection and onsite screening.

Abstract
Boronic acids reversibly and covalently bind to Lewis bases and polyols, which facilitated the development of a large number of chemical sensors to recognize carbohydrates, catecholamines, ions, hydrogen peroxide, and so on. However, as the binding mechanism of boronic acids and analytes is not very clear, it is still a challenge to discover sensors with high affinity and selectivity. In this review, boronic acid sensors with two recognition sites, including diboronic acid sensors, and monoboronic acid sensors having another group or binding moiety, are summarized. Owing to double recognition sites working synergistically, the binding affinity and selectivity of sensors can be improved significantly. This review may help researchers to sort out the binding rules and develop ideal boronic acid-based sensors.

Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been widely praised for its extreme sensitivity but has not so far been put to use in routine analytical applications, with the accessible scale of measurements a limiting factor. We report here on a frugal implementation of SERS dedicated to the quantitative detection of Zn2+ in water, Zn being an element that can serve as an indicator of contamination by heavy metals in aquatic bodies. The method consists in randomly aggregating simple silver colloids in the analyte solution in the presence of a complexometric indicator of Zn2+, recording the SERS spectrum with a portable Raman spectrometer and analysing the data using multivariate calibration models. The frugality of the sensing procedure enables us to acquire a dataset much larger than conventionally done in the field of SERS, which in turn allows for an in-depth statistical analysis of the analytical performances that matter to end-users. In pure water, the proposed sensor is sensitive and accurate in the 160-2230 nM range, with a trueness of 96% and a precision of 4%. Although its limit of detection is one order of magnitude higher than those of golden standard techniques for quantifying metals, its sensitivity range matches Zn levels that are relevant to the health of aquatic bodies. Moreover, its frugality positions it as an interesting alternative to monitor water quality. Critically, the combination of the simple procedure for sample preparation, abundant SERS material and affordable portable instrument paves the way for a realistic deployment to the water site, with each Zn reading three to five times cheaper than through conventional techniques. It could therefore complement current monitoring methods in a bid to solve the pressing needs for large scale water quality data.

Abstract
This work depicts the novel chromogenic system for the assay of glucose in blood samples connected with the chelate formation of sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) with iron (Fe(III)) using glucose oxidase (GOD) presented. The purple-colored Fe-SSA chelate compound formed, maintain a strong absorption at 500 nm in the acidic buffer of pH 3.8. The Beer's law limit for the assay of glucose by rate, and a one-time method is in the range of 46-1295 μmol/L and 9-1110 μmol/L sequentially. Inter and Intraday precision fluctuated amid 0.98-1.4% (n = 10), and 1.33-2.89% (n = 15) sequentially. The recovery of glucose varied from 96.6 to 102%, registering trifling interference by common interferants in blood samples. The accuracy of the outcome, LOD, and LOQ of glucose were within 90-102%, 2.376, and 7.923 μmol/L individually. The introduced method has a coefficient of correlation 0.999 with the standard kit system, and easy to ascertain serum glucose with excellent recovery and insignificant interruption. Nevertheless, the system can be recognized for selection by the biochemical laboratories.

DNA-scaffold copper nanoclusters integrated into a cerium(III)-triggered Fenton-like reaction for the fluorometric and colorimetric enzymatic determination of glucose. Mikrochim Acta 2019; 186:862.

Abstract
A fluorometric and colorimetric method are described for the determination of hydrogen peroxide and glucose by integrating copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) into a Fenton-like reaction. The mechanism mainly depends on the fast formation of long-strand DNA-templated CuNCs with strong red fluorescence (with excitation/emission maxima at 340/640 nm) in the absence of H2O2. The DNA can be cleaved into short-oligonucleotide fragments by hydroxy radicals as formed in the Ce(III)-triggered Fenton-like reaction in the presence of H2O2. As a result, short-strand DNA loses the ability as a template for the formation of CuNCs. This leads to a decrease of fluorescence. The colorimetric assay, in turn, is based on the oxidation of colorless Ce(III) ions to the distinctly yellow Ce(IV) ions (with an absorption maximum at 400 nm) by H2O2. Compared with those assays based on the use of enzyme mimics, this method does not require any chromogenic substrates such as ABTS and TMB. Based on the dual-signal readout platform, we successfully achieved the detection of H2O2 and glucose. LODs are as low as 0.266 μM and 2.92 μM. The methods were applied to the sensitive determination of glucose by using glucose oxidase (GOx) which catalyzes the oxidization of glucose to produce H2O2. The practical application was demonstrated by determination of glucose in human serum, with apparent recoveries of 98.4-101.9% and 99.1-105.6%, respectively. The concentration of glucose ranges from 1 to 500 μM and 50 to 600 μM based on the dual-signal readout platform, respectively. This fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode strategy will pave a new avenue for constructing effective assays for H2O2-related analytes in biochemical and clinical applications. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of a fluorometric and colorimetric dual-readout strategy for the sensitive determination of hydrogen peroxide and glucose. The assay has been designed by integrating copper nanoclusters into a Ce(III)-triggered Fenton-like reaction.

Abstract
In this study, we integrated sample purification and genetic amplification in a seamless polycarbonate microdevice to facilitate foodborne pathogen detection. The sample purification process was realized based on the increased affinity of the boronic acid-modified surface toward the cis-diol group present on the bacterial outer membrane. The modification procedure was conducted at room temperature using disposable syringe. The visible color and fluorescence signals of alizarin red sodium were used to confirm the success of the surface modification process. Escherichia coli O157:H7 containing green fluorescence protein (GFP) and Staphylococcus aureus were chosen as the microbial models to demonstrate the nonspecific immobilization using the microdevice. Bacterial solutions of various concentrations were injected into the microdevice at three flow rates to optimize the operation conditions. This microdevice successfully amplified the 384-bp fragment of the eaeA gene of the captured E. coli O157:H7 within 1 h. Its detection limit for E. coli O157:H7 was determined to be 1 × 103 colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU mL-1). The proposed microdevice serves as a monolithic platform for facile and on-site identification of major foodborne pathogens.
