Up until now, the applications of lanthanide ion-doped lead-free double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 nanocrystals (NCs) have been rarely reported, especially in fluorescence anticounterfeiting and coding. Here, we successfully incorporated Tb3+/Ho3+ ions into Cs2AgInCl6 NCs by the hot-injection method. Benefiting from the energy transfer process, Tb3+- and Ho3+-codoped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs showed tunable emission color in a green-blue-orange triangle region. Combining our NCs with transparent ink for printing, we put forward the applications of color bar codes and color QR codes (3D codes) as well as information encryption. Compared with traditional codes, color bar codes and 3D codes conquer the shortcomings of low information density, weak information security, and poor aesthetics. Furthermore, through double-mode excitation, we list an encoding table corresponding to 26 letters and 10 numbers. The encoding table embodies the application value of information encryption and coding.

Multiplex, digital nucleic acid tests have important biomedical applications, but existing methods mostly use fluorescent probes that are target-specific and difficult to optimize, limiting their widespread applications. Here, we report color-encoded, intelligent digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification (CoID-LAMP) for the coidentification of multiple nucleic acid targets. CoID-LAMP supplements different primer solutions with different dyes, generates primer droplets and sample droplets, and collectively pairs these two types of droplets in a microwell array device to perform LAMP. After imaging, the droplet colors were analyzed to decode the primer information, and the precipitate byproducts within droplets were detected to determine the target occupancy and calculate the concentrations. We first established an image analysis pipeline based on a deep learning algorithm for reliable droplet detection and validated the analytical performance in nucleic acid quantification. We then implemented CoID-LAMP using fluorescent dyes as the coding materials and established an 8-plex digital nucleic acid assay, confirming the reliable coding performance and the capability of multiplex nucleic acid quantification. We further implemented CoID-LAMP using brightfield dyes for a 4-plex assay, suggesting that the assay could be realized solely by brightfield imaging with minimal demand on the optics. Leveraging the advantages of droplet microfluidics in multiplexing and deep learning in intelligent image analysis, CoID-LAMP offers a useful tool for multiplex nucleic acid quantification.

Psoriasis is an immune system-mediated skin disease identified by the appearance of erythematous as a central symptom. As a recurrent and chronic inflammatory disease, psoriasis is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors and is known to be with no effective cure. Considering a multifaceted etiology of psoriasis, synergistic therapy exhibits great benefits over monotherapy, which becomes common for the treatment of various diseases. Herein, we present the nanozyme microspheres with structural color-coding labels for synergistic therapy of psoriasis. In particular, microsphere hydrogel is fabricated by the edible hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), which can generate a photonic liquid crystalline mesophase under lyotropic conditions in solution. Through adjustment of hydrogel components, microspheres endow with different functions, including moisturizing (paraffin), cfDNA scavenging (chitosan), and anti-inflammation (cerium oxide nanozyme). To improve patient convenience, hydrogel drops with different properties are tailored with different vivid structural colors by exploiting the lyotropic behavior of HPC. Of particular note, both in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated the significant therapeutic effects of the encoded structural color microspheres. Green moisturizing microspheres facilitate to relieve dry, flaky skin patches; blue cfDNA scavenging and red anti-inflammatory microspheres significantly reduce skin inflammation. More importantly, combination therapy with encoded microspheres exerted the synergistic effects, including the increased body weight, thicker epidermal layer, and reduced immune activation. Overall, this synergistic treatment offers a promising platform for personalized management of psoriasis and various inflammatory skin diseases.
