Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and plays mysterious and essential roles in maintaining key
biological and physiological processes. As biological systems display high selectivity for …

Biosensors are powerful tools for modern basic research and biomedical diagnostics. Their
development requires substantial input from the chemical sciences. Sensors or probes with …

Cysteine‐based chiral optically active carbon dots (CDs) and their effects on cellular energy
metabolism, which is vital for essential cellular functions, have been barely reported. A …

Plant nanobionics aims to embed non-native functions to plants by interfacing them with
specifically designed nanoparticles. Here, we demonstrate that living spinach plants …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded non-coding short ribonucleic acid sequences that
take part in many cellular and biological processes. Recent studies have shown that altered …

Corona phase molecular recognition (CoPhMoRe) uses a heteropolymer adsorbed onto
and templated by a nanoparticle surface to recognize a specific target analyte. This method …

In vivo biosensors are emerging as powerful tools in biomedical research and diagnostic
medicine. Distinct from “labels” or “imaging”, in vivo biosensors are designed for continuous …

A distinct advantage of nanosensor arrays is their ability to achieve ultralow detection limits
in solution by proximity placement to an analyte. Here, we demonstrate label-free detection …

Intercellular communication via chemical signaling proceeds with both spatial and temporal
components, but analytical tools, such as microfabricated electrodes, have been limited to …

Arsenic is a highly toxic heavy‐metal pollutant which poses a significant health risk to
humans and other ecosystems. In this work, the natural ability of wild‐type plants to pre …
