Abstract
The development of a robust and biocompatible pH-sensing platform is critical for monitoring intracellular processes and diagnosing diseases. Here, we present a smart ultrastable ratiometric fluorescence nano pH sensor based on silica-coated liposome nanoparticles (cerasome, 138.4 nm). The sensor integrates pH-sensitive dye, pyranine, within cerasome, achieving enhanced photostability, sensitivity, and biocompatibility. Its unique ratiometric design enables precise pH monitoring with minimal photobleaching and quenching, covering a linear detection range of pH 6.25-8.5. The hybrid nanoparticles exhibit high morphological stability, making them suitable for real-time intracellular pH measurement. This novel platform shows great promise for applications in cellular biology, disease diagnosis, and therapeutic monitoring, offering a versatile tool for biomedical research.

期刊介绍:
Biosensors (ISSN 2079-6374) provides an advanced forum for studies related to the science and technology of biosensors and biosensing. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.
