Summary: The primary biothiols, cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy), have crucial roles in various biological processes. Fluctuations in redox balance can lead to diseases due to disruptions in perfectly regulated intracellular and extracellular microenvironments. A study was conducted to develop copper-based fluorescence probes for detecting extracellular and intracellular targets such as cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) respectively. The fluorescence of the probes coordinated with Cu2+ is quenched by the binding of either Cys or GSH, resulting in retained Cu2+ ions.

Summary: In this study, a BODIPY-based turn-on fluorescent probe BDP-S was designed and synthesized for detecting the semi-essential amino acid cysteine (Cys). The probe exhibited fast response (10 min), distinct color change (from blue to pink), high signal-to-noise ratio (3150-fold), and high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 11.2 nM) towards Cys. Furthermore, BDP-S could be used for quantitative determination of Cys in food samples and qualitative detection of Cys on test strips. Importantly, BDP-S was successfully applied for imaging Cys in living cells and in vivo. Therefore, this work provides a potentially powerful tool for detecting Cys in food samples and complex biological systems.

Summary: This study aims to improve the safety of cell brushing in hard-to-reach locations by using brushes constructed from absorbable materials. The efficacy of loop brushes made of different types of absorbable suture wires, including PDS II, Monocryl, and Catgut, was investigated in an artificial cyst model alongside fine-needle aspiration. PDS II brushes demonstrated the highest efficiency, while Monocryl and Catgut also showed significant brushing effects. The efficiency of the brushes was inversely proportional to their plastic deformation by the needle. These results provide opportunities for safer cell biopsies in hard-to-reach locations through the use of brushes composed of absorbable materials.

Summary: In this study, polymer microstructures with inert surface finish were fabricated by folding and self-bonding using off-stoichiometric thiol-ene-epoxy (OSTE+) layers UV photocured resin. The folded structures were thermally cured to allow surfaces in contact with each other to spontaneously bond, stiffen the polymer, release folding stress, and consume reactive surface groups. The unique bend-and-bond technique was demonstrated in the creation of sample structures including a multilayer microfluidic chip with crossing channels, a helical spring, and a functional mini windmill, suggesting potential applications in biochip and biosensor fabrication.
