The authors describe a fluorometric aptamer based assay for detecting β-lactoglobulin by using carbon dots (C-dots) as a signal indicator. The aptamer was immoblized on magnetite (FeO) nanoparticles (MNPs), and the C-dots served as a label for the co...
Melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. CD20+ melanoma stem cells (CSCs) are pivotal for metastasis and initiation of melanoma. Therefore, selective elimination of CD20+ melanoma CSCs represents an effective treatment to eradicate melanoma. Sa...
A simple, low-cost, and sensitive liposome-based colorimetric aptasensor has been developed to detect ochratoxin A (OTA). Specifically, a dumbbell-shaped probe was designed, including magnetic beads (MBs), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and enzyme-enca...

DNA aptamers are attractive capture probes for affinity chromatography since, in contrast to antibodies, they can be chemically synthesized and, in contrast to tag-specific capture probes (such as Nickel-NTA or Glutathione), they can be used for puri...
The detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is very important for the prevention of food poisoning and other infectious diseases. Here we reported a simple and sensitive strategy to test S. Typhimurium by microchip capil...
The development of a novel flexible and ultrasensitive aptasensor based on carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ reduced graphene oxide-based field effect transistor (FET) has been reported for label-free detection of the ovarian cancer...
In the present work, colloidal cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were firstly synthesized by sol-gel method and pyrolysis respectively, which all have a uniform nano-size and significant fluorescence emission. Du...
Chloramphenicol (CAP) residues can not only harm human health through entering food chain, but also cause the spreading of drug-resistant bacteria, thereby leading to secondary environmental pollution. Therefore, it is in urgent need of establishing ...

A molecular robot is a next-generation biochemical machine that imitates the actions of microorganisms. It is made of biomaterials such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. Three prerequisites have been proposed for the construction of such a robot: sensors...
Cytochrome c (Cyt c) release and cellular pH change are two important mediators of apoptosis. Effective methods to regulate or monitor such two events are therefore highly desired for apoptosis research and cancer cell therapy. Herein, we exploited e...
