TL;DR: In this review, novel engineered photothermal nanomaterials, such as noble metal-, carbon-, semiconductor-, and organic molecule-based PTT agents, as well as their targeted biomedical applications were summarized and discussed comprehensively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hollow CuO/polyaniline (CuO/ PANI) nano-hybrid fibers have been prepared as a novel electrochemical sensor for accurately detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose.

TL;DR: A facile one-pot green synthesis method to prepare a self-assembled membrane of reduced graphene oxide-gold nanoparticle (RGO-AuNP) nanohybrids at a liquid-air interface is reported and it is expected that this one- Pot green method for fabricating sandwich-like multilayer hybrid functional membranes has broad applications in biosensing, catalysis, and energy storage.

TL;DR: The review shows that nanostructured polymer surfaces are powerful tools to control the amount, orientation, and order of adsorbed protein layers, and shows that the understanding of the biological responses to such ordered protein adsorption is still in its infancy, yet it has immense potential for future healthcare materials.

TL;DR: In this review, important information on the basic principles to fabricate self-assembling 2DOBMs based on peptides, proteins, DNA, RNA, viruses, and other biopolymers are summarized and the potential strategies and techniques for tailoring and controlling the structures and functions are presented and discussed further.
