A few-layer covalent network of fullerenes

Elena Meirzadeh et al.

Summary: This study introduces a two-dimensional crystalline polymer called graphullerene, which bridges the gap between molecular and extended carbon materials. It consists of hexagonally arranged C60 fullerene subunits that are covalently interconnected. The researchers have successfully synthesized large, charge-neutral, purely carbon-based crystals that can be mechanically exfoliated to produce molecularly thin flakes with clean interfaces. The thermal conductivity of graphullerene is found to be higher than that of molecular C60, thanks to its in-plane covalent bonding. Furthermore, the presence of moire-like superlattices is observed using transmission electron microscopy and near field nano-photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Metal-Based Nanozymes with Multienzyme-Like Activities as Therapeutic Candidates: Applications, Mechanisms, and Optimization Strategy

Dan Li et al.

Summary: Most nanozymes developed for medical applications lack sufficient catalytic activity and functionality in complex pathological microenvironments due to their single-enzyme-like activity. Metal-based nanozymes with multienzyme-like activities (MNMs) can mimic two or more activities of natural enzymes, effectively catalyzing cascade reactions or multiple substrates simultaneously. These MNMs can adapt to different catalytic conditions, producing substrates for downstream catalytic reactions and overcoming the limitation of insufficient substrates in the microenvironment. As a result, MNMs have stronger antitumor, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects in preclinical models. This review summarizes the cellular effects and underlying mechanisms of MNMs, and discusses their potential medical utility and optimization strategy for clinical applications, providing a theoretical reference for the design, development, and therapeutic application of their catalytic effects.

Controllable Preparation of 2D V2O5 Peroxidase-Mimetic Nanozyme to Develop Portable Paper-Based Analytical Device for Intelligent Pesticide Assay

Haiyin Li et al.

Summary: Given the severe harmfulness of pesticides, unique characteristics of peroxidase-mimetic nanozymes, and favorable prospects of paper-based analytical devices (PADs), it is highly desirable to construct a nanozyme-based PAD for intelligent analysis of pesticides. The 2D nanosheet-like V2O5 (2D-VONz) with exclusive peroxidase-mimetic activity is prepared under optimal conditions. Experimental characterizations demonstrate that 2D-VONz exhibits high affinity and catalytic rate and catalytic oxidation is dependent on center dot OH yielded from the decomposition of H2O2 catalyzed by 2D-VONz.

Multiple neurological effects associated with exposure to organophosphorus pesticides in man

Milan Jokanovic et al.

Summary: This article examines the potential link between organophosphorus (OP) pesticides and neurological disorders, including dementia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, neurodevelopment, autism, cognitive development, Parkinson's disease, and chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder. These effects are primarily observed after chronic exposure to low doses of OP pesticides. The article also discusses three well-defined neurotoxic effects in humans resulting from single doses of OP compounds. These effects include the cholinergic syndrome, the intermediate syndrome, and organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy. Poisoning can generally be prevented through improved administrative control, restricted access to OP pesticides, effective personal protection measures, and education for OP pesticide applicators and medical staff.

Photocurrent-Polarity-Switching Photoelectrochemical Biosensor for Switching Spatial Distance Electroactive Tags

Ruijin Zeng et al.

Summary: This study presents a photocurrent-polarity-switching-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform for ultrasensitive microRNA-21 (miR-21) detection.

Amorphous Fe-Containing Phosphotungstates Featuring Efficient Peroxidase-like Activity at Neutral pH: Toward Portable Swabs for Pesticide Detection with Tandem Catalytic Amplification

Hengjia Zhu et al.

Summary: Peroxidase-mimetic Fe-containing phosphotungstates (Fe-PTs) were explored as a portable multienzyme biosensor for pesticide detection under neutral pH conditions. The material exhibited peroxidase-like activity in physiological environments due to its strong attraction to positively charged substrates and accelerated regeneration of Fe2+ by the Fe/W bimetallic redox couples. Integration of Fe-PTs with acetylcholinesterase and choline oxidase resulted in an enzyme-nanozyme tandem platform with good catalytic efficiency at neutral pH for organophosphorus pesticide response. The immobilized sensors on medical swabs showed excellent sensitivity, good anti-interference capacity, and a low detection limit (0.28 ng/mL) for paraoxon detection using smartphone sensing.

Novel Microneedle Patch-Based Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Sensor for the Detection of Pesticide Residues

Xin Yi et al.

Summary: Pesticide residues pose a global threat to human health, and conventional sensors are unable to detect them on both the surface and inside agricultural products simultaneously. In this study, a new microneedle patch-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor is introduced, which can detect pesticide residues on both the surface and inside agricultural products using needles and the basement. The Ag nanoparticles and sodium hyaluronate/poly(vinyl alcohol) (HA/PVA) hydrogel in this sensor amplify the Raman signals of pesticide residues and enable convenient collection. The stepped structure of the microneedles increases the sensor's surface area. The sensor has been shown to detect thiram and thiabendazole (TBZ) pesticide residues with detection limits of 10-7 and 10-8 M, respectively. The detection process is minimally invasive and harmless to agricultural products. The application of this microneedle patch-based SERS sensor can be extended to the safety and health monitoring of other plants and animals.
