“…In the twenty-first century, fingerprints have evolved into a pivotal tool for enhancing information security. As fingerprint technology continues to mature, its application scope has significantly broadened, finding widespread utility in fields like identity verification [ 3 ], medical applications [ 4 , 5 ], and forensic identification [ 6 , 7 ]. However, certain demographic groups, including individuals with disabilities, those engaged in manual labor, or professionals in specialized occupations such as swimmers and researchers exposed to chemicals, often confront issues like partial or worn fingerprints.…”

Fingerprint recognition systems have achieved widespread integration into various technological devices, including cell phones, computers, door locks, and time attendance machines. Nevertheless, individuals with worn fingerprints encounter challenges when attempting to unlock original fingerprint systems, which results in disruptions to their daily activities. This study explores two distinct methods for fingerprint backup: traditional fingerprint impression and 3D printing technologies. Unlocking tests were conducted on commonly available optical fingerprint lock-equipped cell phones to assess the efficacy of these methods, particularly in unlocking with worn fingerprints. The research findings indicated that the traditional fingerprint impression method exhibited high fidelity in reproducing fingerprint patterns, achieving an impressive unlocking success rate of 97.8% for imprinting unworn fingerprints. However, when dealing with worn fingerprints, the traditional fingerprint impression technique showed a reduced unlocking success rate, progressively decreasing with increasing degrees of finger wear. In contrast, 3D-printed backup fingerprints, with image processing and optimization of ridge height, mitigated the impact of fingerprint wear on the unlocking capability, resulting in an unlocking success rate of 84.4% or higher. Thus, the utilization of 3D printing technology proves advantageous for individuals with severely worn or incomplete fingerprints, providing a viable solution for unforeseen circumstances.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based photosensitizers (PSs) are well-known for their exceptional biocompatibility and high irradiation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity, making them promising candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In antitumor treatment, enhancing the spatiotemporal specificity of AIEgen PSs can maximize the efficacy of suppressing tumor cells. Lysosomes, as digestive cellular organelles, can be perturbed by various external stimuli, leading to cellular dysfunction and even apoptosis. This makes them ideal targets for effective and precise PDT. In this study, an AIE photosensitizer MEO-TTMN (MT) was encapsulated with a silica shell to develop AIE-based silica nanoparticles (NPs), MT@SiO 2 -MP NPs, for antitumor PDT. The absorption and emission peaks of these NPs were at 513 and 675 nm, respectively. Upon irradiation, MT@SiO 2 -MP NPs exhibited a stronger ROS generation capacity when compared with the commercial photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6). The decoration of the morpholine group on the surface of the silica shell facilitated MT@SiO 2 -MP NPs to accumulate specifically in the cellular lysosomes. A high level of ROS was proven to be in situ generated at the lysosomal sites by irradiation, which led to the damage of lysosomes and subsequent apoptosis of tumor cells. The in vivo PDT of tumor-bearing mouse demonstrated that MT@SiO 2 -MP NPs significantly suppressed the growth of the tumor. This work has provided efficient lysosome-targeting NPs to improve PDT efficacy and accuracy, which is beneficial for cancer therapy in the field of nanomedicine research.
