TL;DR: Progress achieved during the past decade in chirality‐associated biological applications (biosensing, biolabeling, and bioimaging) combined with individual chiral nanostructures (such as chiral semiconductor nanoparticles and chiral metal nanoparticles) or chiral assemblies is discussed.

TL;DR: Monolayer plasmonic chiral Au nanoparticle films modified with amino acid isomers are introduced, and it is found that the chirality of the film remarkably affects cell proliferation, adhesion, and directional differentiation.

TL;DR: A stable and sensitive toxin residues immunosensor based on the relaxation of magnetic nanoparticles was developed and may be a useful tool for toxin residues sensing and may find widespread applications.

TL;DR: A dual amplified electrochemical sandwich immunosensor for PSS detection was developed, utilizing the good specificity and low cost of electrochemical immunoassay, the favorable conductivity and large specific surface area of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), and the excellent catalytic ability of and horseradish peroxidase (HRP).

TL;DR: It is shown that chiral ZnS NPs self-assemble into 70–100 nm SPs that display sub-nanoscale porosity associated with interstitial spaces between constituent NPs, establishing a path to enantioselective oxidative coupling of phenols for biomedical and other needs.
