TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the key sequences and structures utilised to provide biological and physical stability to nano-constructs, direct particles to their target and influence their cellular and tissue distribution, induce and control biological responses, and form polypeptide self-assembled nanoparticles are provided.

TL;DR: The authors report on the development of a duel trigger release system using a combination of photo and electro triggers to allow for light based analysis without unwanted release and characterisation and controlled release of single cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that silicon (Si) nanoparticles with scattering properties exhibiting strong dielectric resonances can be successfully manipulated using optical tweezers, making Si nanoparticles an ideal system for delivering directed nanoscale sensing in a range of potential applications.

TL;DR: A critical assessment of the development of porous silicon optical biosensors from the early demonstrations of affinity based sensing to the current trends in monitoring single cell activity and perspectives in the use of photonic microparticles for biomedical applications are provided.

TL;DR: A microsensor technology as a diagnostic tool for detecting specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) at very low concentrations shows superior performance to conventional protease activity and has the potential for translation to high-throughput multiplexed analysis.
