Fluorescent probes and functional materials for biomedical applications

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2022年第16卷第10期页码 1425-1437 doi: 10.1007/s11705-022-2163-1

摘要： Due to their simplicity in preparation, sensitivity and selectivity, fluorescent probes have become the analytical tool of choice in a wide range of research and industrial fields, facilitating the rapid detection of chemical substances of interest as well as the study of important physiological and pathological processes at the cellular level. In addition, many long-wavelength fluorescent probes developed have also proven applicable for in vivo biomedical applications including fluorescence-guided disease diagnosis and theranostics (e.g., fluorogenic prodrugs). Impressive progresses have been made in the development of sensing agents and materials for the detection of ions, organic small molecules, and biomacromolecules including enzymes, DNAs/RNAs, lipids, and carbohydrates that play crucial roles in biological and disease-relevant events. Here, we highlight examples of fluorescent probes and functional materials for biological applications selected from the special issues “Fluorescent Probes” and “Molecular Sensors and Logic Gates” recently published in this journal, offering insights into the future development of powerful fluorescence-based chemical tools for basic biological studies and clinical translation.

Base editors: development and applications in biomedicine

《医学前沿（英文）》 2023年第17卷第3期页码 359-387 doi: 10.1007/s11684-023-1013-y

摘要： Base editor (BE) is a gene-editing tool developed by combining the CRISPR/Cas system with an individual deaminase, enabling precise single-base substitution in DNA or RNA without generating a DNA double-strand break (DSB) or requiring donor DNA templates in living cells. Base editors offer more precise and secure genome-editing effects than other conventional artificial nuclease systems, such as CRISPR/Cas9, as the DSB induced by Cas9 will cause severe damage to the genome. Thus, base editors have important applications in the field of biomedicine, including gene function investigation, directed protein evolution, genetic lineage tracing, disease modeling, and gene therapy. Since the development of the two main base editors, cytosine base editors (CBEs) and adenine base editors (ABEs), scientists have developed more than 100 optimized base editors with improved editing efficiency, precision, specificity, targeting scope, and capacity to be delivered in vivo, greatly enhancing their application potential in biomedicine. Here, we review the recent development of base editors, summarize their applications in the biomedical field, and discuss future perspectives and challenges for therapeutic applications.

Preparation and application of magnetic microsphere carriers

ZHANG Bo, XING Jianmin, LIU Huizhou

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2007年第1卷第1期页码 96-101 doi: 10.1007/s11705-007-0019-3

摘要： Magnetic microsphere carriers have received considerable attention, primarily because of their wide applications in the fields of biomedicine and bioengineering. In this paper, preparation methods, surface modification and application of magnetic carriers are reviewed. Emphasis will be placed on recent biological and biomedical developments and trends such as enzyme immobilization, cell isolation, protein purification, target drugs and DNA separation.
