Membrane Rigidity‐Tunable Fusogenic Nanosensor for High Throughput Detection of Fusion‐Competent Influenza A Virus (Adv. Funct. Mater. 31/2023)

Fusogenic Nanosensor In article number 2214603, Seungjoo Haam, Daesub Song, and co-workers present a fusogenic nanosensor capable of rapidly detecting intact influenza A virus (IAV) by mimicking the cell surface with sialic acid and modulating membrane stiffness. By incorporating Förster resonance energy transfer pairs, the nanosensor can directly detect various IAV subtypes, including avian fecal samples, within 1 hour at room temperature, providing a promising approach to developing bioinspired nanomaterials for virus detection.
