Abstract
Fluorescence nanoscopy has become increasingly powerful for biomedical research, but it has historically afforded a small field-of-view (FOV) of around 50 μm × 50 μm at once and more recently up to ∼200 μm × 200 μm. Efforts to further increase the FOV in fluorescence nanoscopy have thus far relied on the use of fabricated waveguide substrates, adding cost and sample constraints to the applications. Here we report PRism-Illumination and Microfluidics-Enhanced DNA-PAINT (PRIME-PAINT) for multiplexed fluorescence nanoscopy across millimeter-scale FOVs. Built upon the well-established prism-type total internal reflection microscopy, PRIME-PAINT achieves robust single-molecule localization with up to ∼520 μm × 520 μm single FOVs and 25-40 nm lateral resolutions. Through stitching, nanoscopic imaging over mm2 sample areas can be completed in as little as 40 min per target. An on-stage microfluidics chamber facilitates probe exchange for multiplexing and enhances image quality, particularly for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. We demonstrate the utility of PRIME-PAINT by analyzing ∼106 caveolae structures in ∼1,000 cells and imaging entire pancreatic cancer lesions from patient tissue biopsies. By imaging from nanometers to millimeters with multiplexity and broad sample compatibility, PRIME-PAINT will be useful for building multiscale, Google-Earth-like views of biological systems.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles can be sensitive molecular sensors due to enhanced absorption and scattering of light near a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Variations in both intrinsic properties such as the geometry and extrinsic properties such as the environment can cause heterogeneity in nanoparticle LSPR and impact the overall sensing responses. To date, however, few studies have examined LSPR and sensing heterogeneities, due to technical challenges in obtaining the full LSPR spectra of individual nanoparticles in dynamic assays. Here, we report multispectral LSPR (msLSPR), a wide-field imaging technique for real-time spectral monitoring of light scattering from individual nanoparticles across the whole field of view (FOV) at ∼0.5 nm spectral and ∼100 ms temporal resolutions. Using msLSPR, we studied the spectral and sensing properties of gold nanoparticles commonly used in LSPR assays, including spheres, rods, and bipyramids. Complemented with electron microscopy imaging, msLSPR analysis revealed that all classes of gold nanoparticles exhibited variations in LSPR peak wavelengths that largely paralleled variations in morphology. Compared with the rods and spheres, gold nanobipyramids exhibited both more uniform and stronger sensing responses as long as the bipyramids are structurally intact. Simulations incorporating the experimental LSPR properties demonstrate the negative impact of spectral heterogeneity on the overall performance of conventional, intensity-based LSPR assays and the ability of msLSPR in overcoming both particle heterogeneity and measurement noise. These results highlight the importance of spectral heterogeneity in LSPR-based sensors and the potential advantage of performing LSPR assays in the spectral domain.

Abstract
Localization-based ultrasound imaging methods that use microbubbles or nanodroplets offer high-resolution imaging with improved sensitivity and reduced background signal. However, these methods require long acquisition times (typically seconds to minutes), preventing their use for real-time imaging and, thus, limiting their clinical translational potential. Here, we present a new ultrafast localization method using blinking ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles (BNPs). When activated with high frame rate (1 kHz) plane wave ultrasound pulses with a mechanical index of 1.5, the BNPs incept growth of micrometer-sized bubbles, which in turn collapse and generate a blinking ultrasound signal. We showed that background-free ultrasound images could be obtained by localizing these blinking events using acquisition times as low as 11 ms. In addition, we demonstrated that BNPs enable in vivo background-free ultrasound imaging in mice. We envision that BNPs will facilitate the clinical translation of localization-based ultrasound imaging for more sensitive detection of cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
Highly branched gold (Au) nanostructures with sharp tips are considered excellent substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensing technologies. Here, a simple synthetic route for producing Au or Au-Ag bimetallic mesostructures with multiple sharpened tips in the presence of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is presented. The morphologies of these mesostructured plasmonic nanoparticles (MSPNs) can be controlled by adjusting the concentration of CQDs, reaction temperatures, and seed particles. The optimal molar ratio for [HAuCl4 ]/[CQDs] is found to be ≈25. At this molar ratio, the diameters of MSPNs can be tuned from 80 to 200 nm by changing the reaction temperature from 25 to 80 °C. In addition, it is found that hierarchical MSPNs consisting of multiple Au nanocrystals can be formed over the entire seed particle surface. Finally, the SERS activity of these MSPNs is examined through the detection of rhodamine 6G and methylene blue. Of the different mesostructures, the bimetallic MSPNs have the highest sensitivity with the ability to detect 10-7 m of rhodamine 6G and 10-6 m of methylene blue. The properties of these MSPN particles, made using a novel synthetic process, make them excellent candidates for SERS-based chemical sensing applications.

Abstract
Fluorophores are powerful tools for interrogating biological systems. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have long been attractive materials for biological imaging due to their near-infrared excitation and bright, tunable optical properties. The difficulty in synthesizing and functionalizing these materials with precision, however, has hampered progress in this area. Carbon nanohoops, which are macrocyclic CNT substructures, are carbon nanostructures that possess ideal photophysical characteristics of nanomaterials, while maintaining the precise synthesis of small molecules. However, much work remains to advance the nanohoop class of fluorophores as biological imaging agents. Herein, we report an intracellular targeted nanohoop. This fluorescent nanostructure is noncytotoxic at concentrations up to 50 μM, and cellular uptake investigations indicate internalization through endocytic pathways. Additionally, we employ this nanohoop for two-photon fluorescence imaging, demonstrating a high two-photon absorption cross-section (65 GM) and photostability comparable to a commercial probe. This work further motivates continued investigations into carbon nanohoop photophysics and their biological imaging applications.

Abstract
Current methods for non-invasive prostate cancer (PrCa) detection have a high false-positive rate and often result in unnecessary biopsies. Previous work has suggested that urinary volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers may be able to distinguish PrCa cases from benign disease. The behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been proposed as a tool to take advantage of these potential VOC profiles. To test the ability of C. elegans Bristol N2 to distinguish PrCa cases from controls, we performed chemotaxis assays using human urine samples collected from men screened for PrCa. Behavioral response of nematodes towards diluted urine from PrCa cases was compared to response to samples from cancer-free controls. Overall, we observed a significant attraction of young adult-stage C. elegans nematodes to 1:100 diluted urine from confirmed PrCa cases and repulsion of C. elegans to urine from controls. When C. elegans chemotaxis index was considered alongside prostate-specific antigen levels for distinguishing cancer from cancer-free controls, the accuracy of patient classification was 81%. We also observed behavioral attraction of C. elegans to two previously reported VOCs to be increased in PrCa patient urine. We conclude nematode behavior distinguishes PrCa case urine from controls in a dilution-dependent manner. Summary: The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans shows behavioral attraction to urine from prostate cancer patients, but not to controls, and this phenomenon may be a useful tool for designing diagnostic assays or biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that gas-stabilizing particles can generate cavitating micron-sized bubbles when exposed to ultrasound, offering excellent application potential, including ultrasound imaging, drug delivery, and tumor ablation. However, the majority of the reported gas-stabilizing particles are relatively large (>200 nm), and smaller particles require high acoustic pressures to promote cavitation. Here, this paper reports the preparation of sub-100 nm gas-stabilizing nanoparticles (GSNs) that can initiate cavitation at low acoustic intensities, which can be delivered using a conventional medical ultrasound imaging system. The highly echogenic GSNs (F127-hMSN) were prepared by carefully engineering the surfaces of ∼50 nm mesoporous silica nanoparticles. It was demonstrated that the F127-hMSNs could be continuously imaged with ultrasound in buffer or biological solutions or agarose phantoms for up to 20 min. Also, the F127-hMSN can be stored in phosphate-buffered saline for at least a month with no loss in ultrasound responsiveness. The particles significantly degraded when diluted in simulated body fluids, indicating possible biodegradation of the F127-hMSNs in vivo. Furthermore, at ultrasound imaging conditions, F127-hMSNs did not cause detectable cell death, supporting the potential safety of these particles. Finally, strong cavitation activity generation by the F127-hMSNs under high-intensity focused ultrasound insonation was demonstrated and applied to effectively ablate cancer cells.

Abstract
DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) facilitates multiplexing in superresolution microscopy but is practically limited by slow imaging speed. To address this issue, we propose the additions of ethylene carbonate (EC) to the imaging buffer, sequence repeats to the docking strand, and a spacer between the docking strand and the affinity agent. Collectively termed DNA-PAINT-ERS (E = EC, R = Repeating sequence, and S = Spacer), these strategies can be easily integrated into current DNA-PAINT workflows for both accelerated imaging speed and improved image quality through optimized DNA hybridization kinetics and efficiency. We demonstrate the general applicability of DNA-PAINT-ERS for fast, multiplexed superresolution imaging using previously validated oligonucleotide constructs with slight modifications.

Abstract
Abstract
Prior to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), pancreatic acini cells change their morphology through pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) stages, becoming increasingly dysplastic as stroma and tissue hypoxia increase. This increasing hypoxia forms a cancer promoting microenvironment, wherein we propose metabolic changes trigger aberrant mitochondrial networks form healthy tissue. We developed tissue superresolution imaging to directly quantify structural mitochondrial response through patient histology, whereby DNA-PAINT can provide super-resolution detail decoupled from photo bleaching to visualize mitochondria through tissue layers. Expanding from preliminary data, target mitochondrial dynamics proteins’ organization will also be correlated to PanIN stages.
Introduction: Early oncogene involvement in PDAC progression links to metabolic and mitochondrial regulatory changes. Typically nutrient deprivation and hypoxia trigger cell death from increased reactive oxygen species production and organelle damage which trigger apoptosis, yet these prolonged effects can be cancer promoting when less severe. Mitochondrial dynamics and proteins related to mitochondrial fission and fusion can reduce apoptotic signaling, enhance aerobic glycolysis, and increase ROS to allow cancer progression.
Materials and Methods: Adapting from previous proof of concept, mitochondria (TOM20) within formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections were imaged with stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM). In brief: cadaver healthy pancreas FFPE tissue samples underwent deparafinization, antigen retrieval, indirect immuno-labeling with AlexaFluor647, TIRF illumination with a 60x objective was used for data collection, whereby data processing was conducted using the open-source FIJI and custom MATLAB software.
Results and Discussion: Preliminary data shows proof of principle that both STORM and DNA-PAINT can be correlated to histological staining of human pancreas.
Conclusions: Superresolution imaging reveals ultrastructural details of mitochondria in FFPE patient samples not resolved via conventional fluorescence imaging. Through quantitative feature analysis, we would be able to correlate aberrant mitochondria structure and abundance to PDAC progression.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Early cancer detection remains as a critical challenge to improve patient’s survival and clinical outcome. A non-invasive liquid biopsy permits the analysis of multiple circulating biomarkers including cell free nucleic acids and extracellular vesicles that facilitate the discovery of disease. We hypothesize that cancer-derived circulating biomarkers contain heterogeneous surface membrane proteins and/or nucleic acids representing the original tumor, requiring tools which can identify multiple biomarkers to be detected simultaneously. However, challenges including a lack of established isolation standards and determining sufficiently sensitive detection platforms remain for clinical implementation. Our goal is to develop a multiplexed biomarker based assay which can be leveraged to capture the molecular heterogeneity of distinct subpopulations of tumor derived circulating biomarkers.
Materials and Methods: Materials and methods vary greatly by project, each project design will be briefly summarized: 1) Single molecule imaging of ctDNA was conducted using PEG-coated surface whereby biotin streptavidin linked DNA reference strands were exposed to fluorophore conjugated mutant DNA strands for FRET imaging of mutant specific sequences. 2) Extracellular vesicle imaging and profiling was conducted using antibody based surface capture and high-resolution flow cytometry for high throughput exosome characterization. 3) RNA-biomarkers were identified by converting RNA into cDNA using target gene panels selected from data bases at each cycle during a PCR.
Results and Discussion: RNA profiling of initial sample cohort distinguished cancer from healthy, while detecting early cancer patients with high sensitivity. Differentiating genes with biological relevance were identified which can classify pancreatic cancer patients from healthy donor. cfDNA imaging method had nonspecific signal < 0.1-1%, wherein 1-10% mutant fraction can be genotyped. High resolution flow cytometry identified distinct subpopulations of plasma exosomes and revealed their molecular heterogeneity and cancer specific marker candidates can be screened against purified exosomes.
Conclusions: Extracellular vesicle imaging and profiling co-validated by high resolution flow cytometry, exemplifying the utility of a multi-platform detection scheme to characterize plasma-derived extracellular vesicle populations. Cell free RNA biomarkers of cancer by cell-free RNA sequencing were analyzed that can improve early cancer detection outcome, this proof of concept was done on pancreatic patient plasma and is being expanded into other cancer cohorts.

Abstract
For hybrid integration of an optical chip with an electronic chip containing photo-diodes and processing electronics, light must be coupled from the optical to the electronic chip. This paper presents a method to fabricate quasi-total-internal-reflecting mirrors on an optical chip, placed at an angle of 45° with the chip surface, that enable 90° out-of-plane light coupling between flip-chip bonded chips. The fabrication method utilizes a metal-free, parallel process and is fully compatible with conventional fabrication of optical chips. The mirrors are created using anisotropic etching of 45° facets in a Si substrate, followed by fabrication of the optical structures. After removal of the mirror-defining Si structures by isotropic etching, the obtained interfaces between optical structure and air direct the output from optical waveguides to out-of-plane photo-detectors on the electronic chip, which is aimed to be flip-chip mounted on the optical chip. For transverse-electric (transverse-magnetic) polarization simulations predict a functional loss of 7% (15%), while 7% (18%) is measured.

Abstract
A semianalytical model for light collection by integrated waveguide probes is developed by extending previous models used to describe fiber probes. The efficiency of waveguide probes is compared to that of different types of fiber probes for different thicknesses of a weakly scattering sample. The simulation results show that integrated probes have a collection efficiency that is higher than that of small-core fiber probes, and, in the particular case of thin samples, also exceeds the collection efficiency of large-core highly multimode fiber probes. An integrated waveguide probe with one excitation and eight collector waveguides is fabricated and applied to excite and collect luminescence from a ruby rod. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation and validate the semianalytical model.
