TL;DR: This study highlights the practicality and versatility of albumin-mediated biomimetic mineralization of a nanotheranostic agent and suggests that bioinspired Gd:CuS@BSA NPs possess promising imaging guidance and effective tumor ablation properties, with high spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration.

TL;DR: A novel portable fluorescent biosensor that integrates quantum dot (QD) with an immunochromatography test strip (ICTS) and a home-made test strip reader for detection of tumor markers in human serum demonstrates that the QD-based ICTS is capable of rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of AFP and shows a great promise for point-of-care testing of other tumor markers.

TL;DR: A summary of the previously reported proteins/peptides as biotemplates involved in biomimetic mineralization synthesis is provided, and the obtained inorganic NPs ranging from metal nanoclusters (MNCs), quantum dots (QDs), gadolinium derivatives, and metal sulfide nanoparticles (MSNPs) are classified.

TL;DR: Hollow structured PLNPs with near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence are quite stable and can be repeatedly activated, and particularly can selectively target tumor lesion, permitting rechargeable afterglow imaging in living mice.

TL;DR: The experimental results demonstrate that the signals detected in the tumor region are much more distinguishing injected with ZCIS/ZnS-cRGD QDs than that injected withznS QDs, and a hypothesis is proposed and proved for explanation of this effective strategy.
