TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this DNAzyme-AuNP probe can readily enter cells and can serve as a metal ion sensor within a cellular environment, making it the first demonstration of DNAzymes as intracellular metal ion sensors.

TL;DR: In vitro selection of the first highly selective, sensitive, and efficient Na+-specific, RNA-cleaving DNAzyme and its conversion into a catalytic beacon sensor for imaging Na+ in living cells is reported, using an efficient cationic polypeptide delivery method to allow controllable activation of the DNAzyme probe inside cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA aptamer-conjugated UCNPs are capable of crossing cell membranes without the need of transfection agents, and their use as agents for bioimaging and DNA delivery are also demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, five low-cost deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were synthesized based on choline chloride (ChCl) and a series of straight-chain monobasic acids.

TL;DR: Graphene-like layered molybdenum disulfide (g-MoS2) was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method, which was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as discussed by the authors.
