TL;DR: Three disease biomarkers can simultaneously be detected at the attomolar level because of a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) encoded silver pyramid sensing system that holds promising potential for biodetection applications.

TL;DR: The successful use of Au NRs for detection of microcystin-LR, which is significantly more sensitive than the traditional techniques, yielding detection limit of 5 pgmL, and much simpler and faster than any other methods.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that assemblies consisting of two metallic NPs do possess chirality and strongly rotate polarization of light, and their bioanalitical potential for detection of an environmental toxin, microcystin-LR, and a cancer biomarker, prostate-specific antigen is investigated.

TL;DR: A synthetic method for complex assemblies from NPs and nanorods (NRs) based on selective modification of NRs with DNA oligomers is presented, providing the first proof-of-concept data for the possibility of real-time probing of the local organelle environment in live cells.

TL;DR: Together photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy are carried out under the guidance of upconversion luminesce, T1 -weighted magnetic resonance, photoacoustics, and computed tomography imaging of tumors in vivo, which exhibit the multifunctional biological applications of the DNA-based self-assemblies.
