[PMID: 38823375 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a key colon biomarker, demands a precise detection method for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. This study introduces a novel electrochemical aptasensor using a triblock polyadenine probe for ultra-sensitive detection of CEA. The method leverages Exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted target recycling and hybridization chain reaction. The triblock polyadenine probe self-assembles on the bare gold electrode through the strong affinity between adenine and gold electrode, blocking CEA diffusion and providing a large immobilization surface. CEA binding to hairpin probe 1 (HP1), followed by the hybridization between HP1 and hairpin probe 2 (HP2), triggers DNA cleavage by Exo III, amplifying the signal via a hybridization chain reaction and producing numerous dsDNA walkers that generates a dramatic electrochemical impedance signal. Under optimized conditions, the aptasensor achieved two ultra-low detection limits: 0.39 ag∙mL-1 within the concentration range of 5 ag∙mL-1 to 5 × 106 ag∙mL-1, and 1.5 ag∙mL-1 within the concentration range of 5 × 106 ag∙mL-1 to 1 × 1010 ag∙mL-1. Its performance in human serum samples meets the practical standards, offering a promising new tool for ultrasensitive tumor marker detection, potentially revolutionizing early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection have helped to overcome the limitations of traditional in vitro diagnostic methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, owing to its high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. However, for the implementation of SERS detection technology in disease diagnosis, a SERS-based assay platform capable of analyzing clinical samples is essential. Moreover, infectious diseases like COVID-19 require the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies that can rapidly and accurately determine infection status. As an effective assay platform, SERS-based bioassays utilize SERS nanotags labeled with protein or DNA receptors on Au or Ag nanoparticles, serving as highly sensitive optical probes. Additionally, a microdevice is necessary as an interface between the target biomolecules and SERS nanotags. This review aims to introduce various microdevices developed for SERS detection, available for POC diagnostics, including LFA strips, microfluidic chips, and microarray chips. Furthermore, the article presents research findings reported in the last 20 years for the SERS-based bioassay of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Finally, the prospects of SERS bioassays are discussed concerning the integration of SERS-based microdevices and portable Raman readers into POC systems, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence technology.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein widely used as a tumor marker. In this work, a colorimetric lateral flow immunosensor is developed for rapid and low-cost quantification of CEA in human blood serum. The immunosensor consists of a glass fiber sample/conjugation pad, a nitrocellulose detection pad and a cellulose absorption pad. The detection is based on a sandwich immunoreaction: the sample/conjugation pad is modified with gold nanoparticles (GNPs)-labeled anti-CEA conjugate probes which bind to the CEA target molecules in the sample and the complexes are captured at capture anti-CEA immobilized at the test line. The color intensity of the test line, measured from a scanned image of the strip, is related to the CEA concentration in the sample. The different assay parameters are studied in detail. The linearity holds from 1.25 to 640 ng mL-1 of CEA, the instrumental and visual limits of detection are 0.45 and 0.63 ng mL-1, respectively, and the total assay time is 15 min. The specificity of the immunoassay versus other cancer biomarkers is satisfactory. The recovery in samples of human serum spiked with CEA is in the range of 81-118% and the coefficient of variation of the method is ≤10%. Results obtained with the lateral flow immunosensor correlated well with a reference radioimmunoassay method (R2 = 0.99). This immunosensor can be readily applied to CEA monitoring at the point-of-care (POC) or in resource-limited settings thanks to its low-cost and simplicity.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique that uses inelastic light scattering in response to vibrating molecules to produce chemical fingerprints of tissues, cells, and biofluids. Raman spectroscopy strategies produce high levels of chemical specificity without requiring extensive sample preparation, allowing for the use of advanced optical tools such as microscopes, fiber optics, and lasers that operate in the visible and near-infrared spectral range, making them increasingly suitable for a wide range of medical diagnostic applications. Metal nanoparticles and nonlinear optical effects can improve Raman signals, and optimized fiber optic Raman probes can make real-time, in vivo, single-point observations. Furthermore, diagnostic speed and spatial accuracy can be improved through the multimodal integration of Raman measurements and other technologies. Recent studies have significantly contributed to the improvement of diagnostic speed and accuracy, making them suitable for clinical application. Lung cancer is a prevalent type of respiratory malignancy. However, the use of computed tomography for detection and screening frequently reveals numerous smaller lung nodules, which makes the diagnostic process more challenging from a clinical perspective. While the majority of small nodules detected are benign, there are currently no direct methods for identifying which nodules represent very early-stage lung cancer. Positron emission tomography and other auxiliary diagnostic methods for non-surgical biopsy samples from these small nodules yield low detection rates, which might result in significant expenses and the possibility of complications for patients. While certain subsets of patients can undergo curative treatment, other individuals have a less favorable prognosis and need alternative therapeutic interventions. With the emergence of new methods for treating cancer, such as immunotherapies, which can potentially extend patient survival and even lead to a complete cure in certain instances, it is crucial to determine the most suitable biomarkers and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of these novel compounds. This will ensure that significant treatment outcomes are accurately measured. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the prospects of Raman spectroscopy and its applications in the diagnosis and analysis of lung tumors.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most actively researched diseases having a high mortality rate when not detected at an early stage. Thus, rapid, simultaneous, and sensitive quantification of cancer biomarkers plays an important role in early diagnosis, with patient impact to disability adjusted life years. Herein, a diatomite-based SERS flexible platform for the rapid and sensitive detection of circulating cancer-specific protein biomarkers in serum is presented. In this approach, diatomite/AgNPs strips with maximum SERS activity prepared using the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique were modified with specific antibodies, and specific antigens (HER2, CA15-3, PSA, and MUC4) were captured and detected. By using Raman probes specific to the captured antigens in serum, a SERS limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 ng/mL was measured (calculated LOD < 0.1 ng/mL). This value is lower than the cutoff amount of cancer antigens in the person's blood. The specificity for the antigens of each antibody was calculated to be higher than 95%. As a result, an immunosensor for rapid detection of cancer biomarkers in serum with good specificity, high sensitivity, good reproducibility, and low cost has been demonstrated. Overall, we show that the prepared diatomite-based SERS substrate with a high surface-to-volume ratio is a useable platform for immunoassay tests.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical immunosensor utilising nitrogen-rich mesoporous carbon (MNC) as the substrate material was developed for the sensitive quantification of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The synergic interactions between MNC and AbCEA also eliminated the need for coupling agents such as EDC/NHS. The novel immunosensor demonstrated a wide detection range from 500 fM (9.04 pg mL-1) to 50 nM (1 μg mL-1) and a low detection limit (LOD) of 500 fM. Moreover, the immunosensor showed sensitivities of 12.27 mA nM-1 cm-2 and 0.066 mA nM-1 cm-2 for detecting CEA in the linear ranges 10 pM to 1 nM and 2 nM to 50 nM, respectively, while maintaining long-term storage stability of 6 weeks. Analysis of real serum sample analysis yielded highly accurate results with recovery rates ranging from 99.3% to 103.7%. Furthermore, the developed paper-based screen-printed electrode exhibited a similar detection range, suggesting its potential for use in point-of-care detection devices in future applications.

Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is increasingly used as a sensitive bioanalytical tool for detection of variety of analytes ranging from viruses and bacteria to cancer biomarkers and toxins, etc. This comprehensive review describes principles of operation and compares the performance of immunoassays and aptamer assays with Surface Enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection to each other and to some other bioassay methods, including ELISA and fluorescence assays. Both immuno- and aptamer-based assays are categorized into assay on solid substrates, assays with magnetic nanoparticles and assays in laminar flow or/and strip assays. The best performing and recent examples of assays in each category are described in the text and illustrated in the figures. The average performance, particularly, limit of detection (LOD) for each of those methods reflected in 9 tables of the manuscript and average LODs are calculated and compared. We found out that, on average, there is some advantage in terms of LOD for SERS immunoassays (0.5 pM median LOD of 88 papers) vs SERS aptamer-based assays (1.7 pM median LOD of 51 papers). We also tabulated and analyzed the clinical performance of SERS immune and aptamer assays, where selectivity, specificity, and accuracy are reported, we summarized the best examples. We also reviewed challenges to SERS bioassay performance and real-life application, including non-specific protein binding, nanoparticle aggregation, limited nanotag stability, sometimes, relatively long time to results, etc. The proposed solutions to those challenges are also discussed in the review. Overall, this review may be interesting not only to bioanalytical chemist, but to medical and life science researchers who are interested in improvement of bioanalyte detection and diagnostics.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive diagnostics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of utmost importance to control the widespread coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upsurge. This study demonstrated a novel one-pot surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based immunoassay to detect SARS-CoV-2, without any washing process using a portable Raman spectrometer. The SERS-immune assay was designed using a regular digital versatile disk (DVD) substrate integrated with Raman reporter labeled silver nanoparticles for double clamping effects. The disks were molded to form nanopillar arrays and coated with silver film to enhance the sensitivity of immunoassay. The SERS platform demonstrated a limit of detection (LoD) up to 50 pg mL-1 for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and virus-like-particle (VLP) protein in phosphate buffer saline within a turnaround time of 20 minutes. Moreover, VLP protein spiked in untreated saliva achieved an LoD of 400 pg mL-1, providing a cycle threshold (Ct) value range of 30-32, closer to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results (35-40) and higher than the commercial rapid antigen tests, ranging from 25-28. Therefore, the developed one-pot SERS based biosensor exhibited highly sensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2, which could be a potential point-of-care platform for early and cost-effective diagnosis of the COVID-19 virus.

Abstract
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technology, as a powerful tool to identify molecular species by collecting molecular spectral signals at the single-molecule level, has achieved substantial progresses in the fields of environmental science, medical diagnosis, food safety, and biological analysis. As deepening research is delved into SERS sensing, more and more high-performance or multifunctional SERS substrate materials emerge, which are expected to push Raman sensing into more application fields. Especially in the field of biological analysis, intrinsic and extrinsic SERS sensing schemes have been widely used and explored due to their fast, sensitive and reliable advantages. Herein, recent developments of SERS substrates and their applications in biomolecular detection (SARS-CoV-2 virus, tumor etc.), biological imaging and pesticide detection are summarized. The SERS concepts (including its basic theory and sensing mechanism) and the important strategies (extending from nanomaterials with tunable shapes and nanostructures to surface bio-functionalization by modifying affinity groups or specific biomolecules) for improving SERS biosensing performance are comprehensively discussed. For data analysis and identification, the applications of machine learning methods and software acquisition sources in SERS biosensing and diagnosing are discussed in detail. In conclusion, the challenges and perspectives of SERS biosensing in the future are presented.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a cancer-related tumor marker, which is commonly used for preventive screening, auxiliary diagnosis, and recurrence monitoring. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new CEA detection method. In this paper, we developed an SERS aptasensor for CEA based on silver nanorod array chip, thiol aptamer, and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA). The silver nanorod array chip modified by CEA thiol aptamer (aptamer-SH) was used as SERS capture substrates. Ag@4-MPBA was used as a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) tag. This proposed SERS aptasensor could detect CEA down to 0.447 pg·mL-1 with a wide linear range from 1 pg·mL-1 to 100 ng·mL-1 (R2 = 0.9907). The recovery of the standard addition test for CEA in serum was between 97.25% and 102.67%, and the RSD ≤ 2.52% (n = 3). The sensor has the advantages of good specificity, high sensitivity, and a wide linear range. It provides a new method for the detection of CEA in serum.

Abstract
Carcinoma of the lungs is among the most menacing forms of malignancy and has a poor prognosis, with a low overall survival rate due to delayed detection and ineffectiveness of conventional therapy. Therefore, drug delivery strategies that may overcome undesired damage to healthy cells, boost therapeutic efficacy, and act as imaging tools are currently gaining much attention. Advances in material science have resulted in unique nanoscale-based theranostic agents, which provide renewed hope for patients suffering from lung cancer. Nanotechnology has vastly modified and upgraded the existing techniques, focusing primarily on increasing bioavailability and stability of anti-cancer drugs. Nanocarrier-based imaging systems as theranostic tools in the treatment of lung carcinoma have proven to possess considerable benefits, such as early detection and targeted therapeutic delivery for effectively treating lung cancer. Several variants of nano-drug delivery agents have been successfully studied for therapeutic applications, such as liposomes, dendrimers, polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, carbon nanotubes, gold nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, hydrogels, and micelles. In this Review, we present a comprehensive outline on the various types of overexpressed receptors in lung cancer, as well as the various targeting approaches of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Suspension arrays are a critical components of next generation multiplexed detection technologies. Current fluorescence suspension arrays are limited by a multiplexed coding ceiling and difficulties with ultrasensitive detection. Raman mode is a promising substitute, but the complex spectral peak distributions and extremely weak intrinsic signal intensity severely diminish Raman signal performance in suspension arrays. To address these limitations, we constructed a Raman suspension array system using plasmonic microbeads as barcode substrates and Au nanoflowers as reporter carriers. The well-designed shell morphology and plasmonic microbead composition enabled significant surface enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) such that we were able to adjust silent region Raman-coding intensity levels. Due to synergistic SERS effects from the plasmonic shell and the multi-branched Au nanoflower nanostructure, the reporting signal was greatly improved, enabling ultrasensitive detection of 5-plexed lung cancer markers. Detection in patient serum samples demonstrated good consistency with the standard electrochemiluminescence method. Thus, this silent region SERS barcode-based suspension array is a developmental advance for modern multiplexed biodetection, potentially providing a powerful early disease screening and diagnosis tool.

Abstract
A facile method for the in situ fabrication of chitosan/polythiophene/CdTe (CS/PTh/CdTe) nanocomposite has been developed. It was then connected with anti-CEA (Ab), which was evoked for the electrochemical detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, Ag) within K4Fe(CN)6. The results indicate that CS/PTh/CdTe/GCE has a high selectivity for the detection of CEA with a wide linear range of 0.0001-10000 ng/mL and excellent sensitivity with a low detection limit of 40 fg/mL. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and in situ FT-IR spectra are evoked to study the mechanism of detection of CEA via CS/PTh/CdTe/GCE. The high sensitivity of the electrochemical sensor is due to the fact that the electrochemical oxidation products of K4Fe(CN)6 can directly oxidize CdTe from a low energy state to a high energy state (CdTe)*, making CdTe more prone to be oxidized and facilitate electron transfer. The developed electrochemical biosensor can be used for the detection of real samples, providing a precise method for the detection of CEA with potential application in the clinical detection of tumors.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based assays have been recently developed to overcome the low detection sensitivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SERS-based assays using magnetic beads in microtubes slightly improved the limit of detection (LoD) for SARS-CoV-2. However, the sensitivity and reproducibility of the method are still insufficient for reliable SARS-CoV-2 detection. In this study, we developed a SERS-based microdroplet sensor to dramatically improve the LoD and reproducibility of SARS-CoV-2 detection. Raman signals were measured for SERS nanotags in 140 droplets passing through a laser focal volume fixed at the center of the channel for 15 s. A comparison of the Raman signals of SERS nanotags measured in a microtube with those measured for multiple droplets in the microfluidic channel revealed that the LoD and coefficient of variation significantly improved from 36 to 0.22 PFU/mL and 21.2% to 1.79%, respectively. This improvement resulted from the ensemble average effects because the signals were measured for SERS nanotags in multiple droplets. Moreover, the total assay time decreased from 30 to 10 min. A clinical test was performed on patient samples to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the SERS-based microdroplet sensor. The assay results agreed well with those measured by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. The proposed SERS-based microdroplet sensor is expected to be used as a new point-of-care diagnostic platform for quick and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the field.

Abstract
It is shown that metallic nano-island SERS-active layers can be created on the surfaces of porous track membranes made of polyethylene terephthalate and silicon substrates optimized for exciting laser radiation with wavelengths of 532 and 785 nm. Characteristic patterns of changes in the optical properties of SERS structures upon altering the morphology of metal nanoparticles on a substrate’s surface are established. Such structures can be used as SERS chips and highly sensitive filtering SERS elements in optical biosensors.

Abstract
A fluorescent paper strip immunoassay in conjunction with carbon nanodots@silica (CND@SiO2) as a label was developed for the quantitative measurements of human serum amyloid A1 (hSAA1) in serum at clinically significant concentrations for lung cancer diagnosis. Monodispersed CND@SiO2 was prepared by cohydrolysis between silane-crosslinked carbon nanodots and silica precursors via the Ströber method and further attached covalently to anti-hSAA1 (14F8) monoclonal antibody [anti-hSAA1(14F8)] specific to the hSAA1 target. The hSAA1 concentrations were then determined by quantifying the blue fluorescence intensity upon 365 nm excitation of the captured hSAA1 with anti-hSAA1(14F8)-CND@SiO2 conjugates in the test line on a paper strip where anti-hSAA1 (10G1) monoclonal antibody was physisorbed. The developed fluorescent paper strip with CND@SiO2 can detect hSAA1 at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 5 nM (R2 = 0.995), with a limit of detection of 0.258 nM in 10 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4 containing human serum albumin. The performance of recovery (90.98-109.17%) and repeatability (coefficients of variation < 8.46%) obtained was also acceptable for quantitative determinations. The platform was employed for direct determination of hSAA1 concentrations in undiluted serum samples from lung cancer patients (relative standard deviation (RSD) < 7.46%) and healthy humans (RSD < 3.96%). The results were compared with those obtained using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay alongside liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry measurements.

Abstract
We developed a novel surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 assay platform using hollow Au nanostars to realize high‐sensitivity diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2. The assay was performed using SARS‐CoV‐2 lysate as the target in a wide dynamic range with virus concentrations ranging from 0 to 104 PFU/ml and has a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.1 PFU/ml. This LOD value shows 100 times and 10 times better sensitivity compared to the LODs measured on the same sample using a commercially available rapid kit and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Therefore, we believe that this SERS‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 assay platform has high diagnostic accuracy for early or asymptomatic infected patients with low virus concentrations. Furthermore, the probability of a false‐negative diagnosis is likely to be very low.

Abstract
Herein, Janus bimetallic nanorod clusters-poly(aniline) nanocomposites (JRCPCs) with gold nanorod clusters (GNRCs) in side-by-side (SBS) or end-to-end (ETE) configuration are synthesized, and applied to surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based biosensing of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Taking advantage of their geometrical and chemical anisotropy, GNRCs in both SBS and ETE configurations are prepared by addition of negatively charged citrate anions and poly(acrylic acid)-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PAAc-b-PNIPAM), respectively, to electrostatically interact with cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant on the side of the gold nanorods (GNRs). Subsequently, the JRCPCs are prepared by unidirectional growth of polyaniline and additional growth of Ag onto these GNRCs. JRCPCs with GNRCs in either the SBS or the ETE configuration show strong enhancement of electromagnetic field at both GNR aggregates and GNRC core-Ag shell gaps of bimetallic nanorod cluster components. In particular, because temperature-responsive PAAc-b-PNIPAM of JRCPCs is embedded at GNR junctions, interparticle gaps generated in GNRCs in ETE configuration are controlled via temperature-triggered hydration-dehydration of the PAAc-b-PNIPAM chains such that optical properties are largely changed. With distinct surface functionalities from JRCPCs, SERS-based quantitative analysis of CEA is achieved using JRCPCs as SERS nanoprobes. This work presents the great potential of advanced Janus nanocomposites for SERS-based biosensing applications.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) are known as one of the most common tumor markers. Their facile and affordable detection is critical for early diagnosis of malignant tumors, especially in resource-constrained settings. Here, we report a novel multimer-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor for a specific CEA assay. The aptasensor is fabricated through aptamer-assisted self-assembly of silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs), and the self-assembled multimeric structure possesses abundant hot-spots to provide high SERS response. When CEA is introduced, the specific recognition of CEA by aptamers will lead to the disassembly of Au@Ag multimers due to the lack of a bridging aptamer between Au@Ag NPs. As a result, the number of hot-spots in the multimeric system is decreased, and the intensity at 1585 cm-1 of the SERS reporter (4-mercaptobenzoic acid, 4-MBA) on the surface of NPs will also be decreased. The Raman intensity is proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of CEA. The detection sensitivity can be down to the pg mL-1 level. The analytical method only needs a droplet of 2 μL of sample, and the detection time is less than 20 min. The multimer-based SERS aptasensor can be applied in sensitive and inexpensive detection of CEA in serum samples.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique for sensitive analysis which is attracting great attention in the last decades. In this review, different gold nanostructures that have been exploited for SERS analysis are described, ranging from gold nanospheres to anisotropic and complex-shaped gold nanostructures, in which the presence of high aspect ratio features leads to an increment of the electromagnetic field at the surface of the nanomaterial, resulting in enhanced SERS response. In addition to the shape of the nanostructure, the interparticle nanogaps play a prominent role in the SERS efficiency. In this sense, different approaches such as nanoaggregation and formation of assemblies and ordered structures lead to the creation of the so-called hot spots. SERS measurements may be performed in solution, while usually the nanostructures are deposited building a SERS substrate, which can be created via attachment of chemically prepared gold nanostructures, as well as via top-down physical methods. Among the classical supports for creating the SERS substrates, in the last years there is a trend towards the development of flexible supports based on polymers as well as paper. Finally, some recent applications of gold nanostructures-based SERS substrates within the analytical field are discussed to spotlight the potential of this technique in real-world analytical scenarios.

Abstract
An overview of noteworthy new methods of biomarker determination based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is presented. Biomarkers can be used to identify the occurrence and development of diseases, which furthers the understanding of biological processes in the body. Accurate detection of a disease-specific biomarker is helpful for the identification, early diagnosis and prevention of a disease and for monitoring during treatment. The search for and discovery of valuable biomarkers have become important research hotspots. Different diseases have different biomarkers, some of which are involved in metabolic processes. Therefore, the fingerprint characteristics and band intensities in SERS spectra have been used to identify metabolites and analyze markers. As a promising technique, SERS has been widely used for the quantitative and qualitative determination of different types of biomarkers for different diseases. SERS techniques provide new technologies for the diagnosis of disease-related markers and determining the basis for clinical treatment. Herein, several SERS-based methods with excellent sensitivity and selectivity for the determination of biomarkers for tumors, viruses, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiac muscle tissue injury, and cell activity are highlighted.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is one of the biomarkers most commonly used to determine tumor activity. In this work, a Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) immunosensor was developed. The immunosensor consists of a cysteamine linker attached to a gold chip and mouse monoclonal anti-CEA antibody bonded by the "EDC/NHS protocol". The formation of successive immunosensor layers was confirmed by AFM measurements. The concentration of the antibody was optimized. The linear response range of the developed immunosensor is between 0.40 and 20 ng mL-1, and it is suitable for CEA measurement in both blood cancer patients and healthy individuals. Only 3 μL of serum or plasma sample is required, and no preconcentration is used. The method has a precision of 2-16%, a recovery of 101-104% depending on CEA concentration, a detection limit of 0.12 ng mL-1 and a quantification limit of 0.40 ng mL-1. The method is selective (with respect to albumin, leptin, interleukin 6, metalloproteinase-1, metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 and CA 125/MUC16) and it was validated by comparison with the standard electrochemiluminescence method on a series of colorectal cancer blood samples.

Abstract
This minireview reports the recent advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based assay devices for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. SERS-based detection methods have shown promise in overcoming the low sensitivity and multiplex detection problems inherent to fluorescence detection. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the current status, challenges, and applications associated with SERS-based microdevices for the point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of infectious diseases. The majority of this review highlights three different types of microdevices, namely microfluidic channels, lateral flow assay strips, and three-dimensional nanostructured substrates. Furthermore, the integration of portable Raman spectrophotometry with microdevices provides an ideal platform for the diagnosis of various infectious diseases in the field. Integrated SERS-based assay systems also enable measurements in minimal sample volumes and at low analyte concentrations of viral or bacterial samples. A significant number of studies using the SERS-based assay system have been performed recently to realize POC diagnostics, especially under resource-limited conditions. This portable SERS sensor is expected to be a next-generation POC assay system that could overcome the limitations of current fluorescence-based assay systems. This minireview summarizes recent advances in the development of SERS-based microdevices for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Lastly, challenges to overcome and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, we reported a highly sensitive method for detecting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on an azide cofunctionalized graphene oxide (GO-N3) and carbon dot (CDs) biosensor system. Carbon dots-labeled DNA (CDs-DNA) combined with GO-N3 using copper-free click chemistry (CFCC), which quenched the fluorescence of the CDs via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Upon the addition of CEA, fluorescence was recovered due to the combination of CEA and aptamer. Under optimal conditions, the relative fluorescence intensity was linear with CEA concentration in the range of 0.01-1 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9788), and the limit of detection (LOD) was 7.32 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This biosensor had a high sensitivity and good selectivity for CEA detection in serum samples, indicating that the novel sensor platform holds a great potential for CEA and other biomarkers in practical applications.

Abstract
We present a Raman spectroscopy setup containing a conical beam shaper in combination with a freeform segmented reflector for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis. The freeform segmented reflector and the conical beam shaper are designed by numerical approaches and fabricated by means of ultra-precision diamond tooling. The segmented reflector has a numerical aperture of 0.984 and a working distance of 1mm for SERS measurements. We perform systematic simulations using non-sequential ray tracing to assess the detecting abilities of the designed SERS-based system. We implement a proof-of-concept setup and demonstrate the confocal behavior by measuring the SERS signal of 10µM rhodamine B solution. The experimental results agree well with the simulations concerning the misalignment tolerances of the beam shaper with respect to the segmented reflector and the misalignment tolerances of the collecting fiber. In addition, we conduct benchmark SERS measurements by using a 60× objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.85. We find that the main Raman intensity of rhodamine B at 1502 cm-1 obtained by our segmented reflector working together with the conical beam shaper is approximately 30% higher compared to the commercial objective lens.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based protein analysis is a promising alternative to existing early stage diagnoses. However, SERS research conducted thus far accompanies challenges such as nonuniformity of plasmonic nanostructures, irregular coating of analytes, and denaturation of proteins, which seriously limit the practicability of suggested approaches. Here, we introduce a carboxylic acid-functionalized and graphitic nanolayer-coated three-dimensional SERS substrate (CGSS) fabricated by sequential nanotransfer printing. The substrate consists of well-defined, uniform gold nanowire arrays for effective Raman signal enhancement and a strong protein-immobilization layer. With an enhancement factor (EF) of 5.5 × 105, on par with the highest ever reported values, the CGSS allows the detection of protein conformational changes and the determination of protein concentration via Raman measurements. Exploiting the CGSS, we successfully measured the SERS spectra of Alzheimer's biomarkers, tau protein and amyloid β, based on which secondary structural changes were analyzed quantitatively.

Abstract
Mitoxantrone (MTX), one representative of anthraquinone ring anticancer drugs, reveals excellent anticancer effects in acute leukemia. Though current studies have shown that MTX-induced acute leukemia cell apoptosis is implemented by inserting into DNA, and then leading to DNA breakage and the subsequent transcription termination, but the specific location information of MTX embedded in DNA remains unknown. In this study, combining surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and principal component analysis (PCA), we achieve the biochemical changes of MTX-induced Jurkat cell apoptosis and the location information of MTX embedded in DNA. In contrast, we also present the corresponding result of Daunorubicin (DNR)-induced Jurkat cell apoptosis. It is found that the location of MTX embedded in DNA of Jurkat cell is different from DNR, in which the action site of MTX is mainly implemented by blocking and destroying AT base pairs while DNR is performed by embedding and destroying GC base pairs and then the base A. Clearly, this achieved information is very useful for the designing and modification of anthraquinone ring anticancer drugs.

Abstract
This paper proposes the idea of establishing carbendazim (CBZ) colorimetric determination in spiked water samples by specific aptamers of unlabeled carbendazim (CBZ), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and cationic polymer poly-diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA). In the absence of CBZ, the CBZ aptamer will react with the cationic polymer PDDA by electrostatic interaction to form a complex structure. Therefore, the gold nanoparticles will remain dispersed due to the lack of PDDA. However, when CBZ is added into the sensory system, the CBZ-specific aptamer can selectively capture CBZ to form a stable complex structure. Due to the consumption of the aptamer, PDDA is unable to interact with the aptamer and begins to induce aggregation of AuNPs, thereby causing the color of the solution to change from red to blue. Colorimetric determination of CBZ based on the specific recognition of aptamer and the PDDA-induced aggregation of AuNPs has a detection limit of 2.2 nM, a linear range (R = 0.9960) from 2.2 to 500 nM. The method has good sensitivity and specificity, and the average recovery of CBZ is 94.9-104.8% in the application of actual water samples. This colorimetric method is simple, time-saving and low requirements for equipment, therefore, it holds great potential for CBZ detection in the environmental water samples.

Abstract
Anticounterfeiting labels based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs), as one of the powerful tools against counterfeiting, are easy to generate but difficult to duplicate due to inherent randomness. Gap-enhanced Raman tags (GERTs) with embedded Raman reporters show strong intensity enhancement and ultra-high photostability suitable for fast and repeated readout of PUF labels. Herein, we demonstrate a PUF label fabricated by drop-casting aqueous GERTs, high-speed read using a confocal Raman system, digitized through coarse-grained coding methods, and authenticated via pixel-by-pixel comparison. A three-dimensional encoding capacity of over 3 × 1015051 can be achieved for the labels composed of ten types of GERTs with a mapping resolution of 2500 pixels and quaternary encoding of Raman intensity levels at each pixel. Authentication experiments have ensured the robustness and security of the PUF system, and the practical viability is demonstrated. Such PUF labels could provide a potential platform to realize unbreakable anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
Early detection and easy continuous monitoring of emerging or re-emerging infectious, contagious or other diseases are of particular interest for controlling healthcare advances and developing effective medical treatments to reduce the high global cost burden of diseases in the backdrop of lack of awareness regarding advancing diseases. Under an ever-increasing demand for biosensor design reliability for early stage recognition of infectious agents or contagious diseases and potential proteins, nanoscale manufacturing designs had developed effective nanodynamic sensing assays and compact wearable devices. Dynamic developments of biosensor technology are also vital to detect and monitor advanced diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), diabetes, cancers, liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), tuberculosis, and central nervous system (CNS) disorders. In particular, nanoscale biosensor designs have indispensable contribution to improvement of health concerns by early detection of disease, monitoring ecological and therapeutic agents, and maintaining high safety level in food and cosmetics. This review reports an overview of biosensor designs and their feasibility for early investigation, detection, and quantitative determination of many advanced diseases. Biosensor strategies are highlighted to demonstrate the influence of nanocompact and lightweight designs on accurate analyses and inexpensive sensing assays. To date, the effective and foremost developments in various nanodynamic designs associated with simple analytical facilities and procedures remain challenging. Given the wide evolution of biosensor market requirements and the growing demand in the creation of early stage and real-time monitoring assays, precise output signals, and easy-to-wear and self-regulating analyses of diseases, innovations in biosensor designs based on novel fabrication of nanostructured platforms with active surface functionalities would produce remarkable biosensor devices. This review offers evidence for researchers and inventors to focus on biosensor challenge and improve fabrication of nanobiosensors to revolutionize consumer and healthcare markets.

Abstract
Improved chemical- and bio-sensing with Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) requires nanostuctures that can be flexibly designed and fabricated with different physical and optical properties. Here, we present nano-pillar arrays ranging from 200 nm to 600 nm as SERS substrates for mycotoxin detection that are fabricated by means of two-photon polymerization. We built a nominal shape and a voxel-based model for simulating the enhancement of the electric field of the nano-pillar arrays using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. A new model was built based on the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) data obtained from the fabricated nanostructures and introduced into a FDTD model. We demonstrated the enhancement behavior by measuring the Raman spectrum of Rhodamine B solutions. Both the simulations and experimental results suggest that the 200 nm nano-pillar array has the highest Enhancement Factor (EF). Besides, we determined the limit of detection of the 200 nm pillar array by performing Raman measurements on Rhodamine B solutions with different concentrations. The detection limit of our 200 nm nano-pillar array is 0.55 μM. Finally we discriminated 1 ppm deoxynivalenol and 1.25 ppm fumonisin b1 in acetonitrile solutions by our SERS substrate in combination with principal component analysis. This versatile approach for SERS substrates fabrication gives new opportunities for material characterization in chemical and biological applications.

Abstract
In recent years, gold nanoparticles have emerged as unique non-invasive drug carriers for targeting drugs to their site of action. Their site specificity has helped in increasing drugs' efficacy at lower dose as well as reduction in their side effects. Moreover, their excellent optical properties and small size offer their utilization as diagnostic tools to diagnose tumors as well as other diseases. This review focuses on various approaches that have been used in last several years for preparation of gold nanoparticles, their characterization techniques and theranostic applications. Their toxicity related aspects are also highlighted. Gold nanoparticles are useful as theranostic agents, owing to their small size, biocompatible nature, size dependent physical, chemical and optical properties etc. However, the challenges associated with these nanoparticles such as scale up, cost, low drug payload, toxicity and stability have been the major impediments in their commercialization. The review looks into all these critical issues and identifies the possibilities to overcome these challenges for successful positioning of metallic nanoparticles in market.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be used for the detection of trace amounts of pesticides in foods to ensure consumer safety. In this perspective, we highlight the trends of SERS-based assays in pesticide detection and the various challenges associated with their selectivity, reproducibility, and nonspecific binding. We also discuss and compare the target analyte capture techniques, such as the use of antibodies, aptamers, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), coupled with SERS to overcome the drawbacks as mentioned above. In addition, issues related to the nonspecific binding of analytes and its potential solution are discussed.

Abstract
Imaging technologies play a vital role in clinical oncology and have undergone massive growth over the past few decades. Research in the field of tumor imaging and biomedical diagnostics requires early detection of physiological alterations so as to provide curative treatment in real time. The objective of this review is to provide an insight about near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging techniques that can be used to expand their capabilities for the early detection and diagnosis of cancer cells. Basic setup, principle and working of the instruments has been provided and common NIRF imaging agents as well as SERS tags are also discussed besides the analytical advantages/disadvantages of these techniques. This review can help researchers working in the field of molecular imaging to design cost effective fluorophores and SERS tags to overcome the limitations of both NIRF as well as SERS imaging technologies.

Abstract
On-site multiplex biosensors for innate immunity antibodies are ideal tools for monitoring health status of individuals against various diseases. This study introduces a novel antibody immunoassay testing platform incorporating microfiber-based arrays of antigens to capture specific antibodies. The fabrication and setup of the device revolved around electrospun polystyrene (ESPS) microfibers that act as three-dimensional membrane filters, capable of rapid and multifold analyte capture. In particular, the ESPS microfibers were patterned through localized oxygen plasma to create hydrophilic zones that facilitate fluid flows and immobilizations of antigens. The bulk of this robust antibody immunoassay platform could be installed into a compact syringe-driven cassette device, which could perform multiplex antibody immunoassay for antibodies specifically against Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) with rapid preparation amounting to a total of 5 min, as well as high sensitivity and specificity for the MERS-CoV down to 200 μg/mL.

Abstract
A two-step process of protein detection at a single molecule level using SERS was developed as a proof-of-concept platform for medical diagnostics. First, a protein molecule was bound to a linker in the bulk solution and then this adduct was chemically reacted with the SERS substrate. Traut’s Reagent (TR) was used to thiolate Bovine serum albumin (BSA) in solution followed by chemical cross linking to a gold surface through a sulfhydryl group. A Glycine-TR adduct was used as a control sample to identify the protein contribution to the SER spectra. Gold SERS substrates were manufactured by electrochemical deposition. Solutions at an ultralow concentration were used for attaching the TR adducts to the SERS substrate. Samples showed the typical behavior of a single molecule SERS including spectral fluctuations, blinking and Raman signal being generated from only selected points on the substrate. The fluctuating SER spectra were examined using Principle Component Analysis. This unsupervised statistics allowed for the selecting of spectral contribution from protein moiety indicating that the method was capable of detecting a single protein molecule. Thus we have demonstrated, that the developed two-step methodology has the potential as a new platform for medical diagnostics.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are widely used as tumor markers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Herein, a multiple signal amplification sandwich-type SERS biosensor for femtomolar detection of miRNA is reported. The signal unit consisted of giant Au vesicles, DNA sequences and deposited silver nanoparticles. The giant Au vesicles provided large-volume hot spots because of sharp tips and abundant hotspot gaps, thus enhancing the electromagnetic intensity for the SERS performance. Further silver stain would easily lead to second-stage amplification of Raman signal. In addition, more SERS signal molecules R6G adsorbed on the signal unit with the aid of HCR and the controlled nanogaps between adjacent AgNPs, brought about the third-stage amplification. The capture unit, prepared by immobilizing the capture probe (CP) on the Fe3O4@AuNPs, could easily capture target miRNA and greatly simplify the separation step to improve reproducibility. The higher concentration of target miRNA definitely formed more sandwich-type structures with combination of capture unit and signal unit, resulting in multiple amplification of SERS signals. The proposed multiple signal amplification sandwich-type SERS biosensor could detect miRNA-141 at the femtomolar level with a low detection limit of 0.03 fM. Meanwhile, it exhibited high selectivity and accuracy, even for practical analysis in human serum. Therefore, the designed multiple signal amplification sandwich-type SERS biosensor would be a very promising alternative tool for the detection of miRNA and analogs in the field of biomedical diagnosis.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has recently gained increasing attention for the detection of trace quantities of biomolecules due to its excellent molecular specificity, ultrasensitivity, and quantitative multiplex ability. Specific single or multiple biomarkers in complex biological environments generate strong and distinct SERS spectral signals when they are in the vicinity of optically active nanoparticles (NPs). When multivariate chemometrics are applied to decipher underlying biomarker patterns, SERS provides qualitative and quantitative information on the inherent biochemical composition and properties that may be indicative of healthy or diseased states. Moreover, SERS allows for differentiation among many closely-related causative agents of diseases exhibiting similar symptoms to guide early prescription of appropriate, targeted and individualised therapeutics. This review provides an overview of recent progress made by the application of SERS in the diagnosis of cancers, microbial and respiratory infections. It is envisaged that recent technology development will help realise full benefits of SERS to gain deeper insights into the pathological pathways for various diseases at the molecular level.

Abstract
Metal-dielectric micro/nano-composites have surface plasmon resonances in visible and near-infrared domains. Excitation of coupled metal-dielectric resonances is also important. These different resonances can allow enhancement of the electromagnetic field at a subwavelength scale. Hybrid plasmonic structures act as optical antennae by concentrating large electromagnetic energy in micro- and nano-scales. Plasmonic structures are proposed for various applications such as optical filters, investigation of quantum electrodynamics effects, solar energy concentration, magnetic recording, nanolasing, medical imaging and biodetection, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and optical super-resolution microscopy. We present the review of recent achievements in experimental and theoretical studies of metal-dielectric micro and nano antennae that are important for fundamental and applied research. The main impact is application of metal-dielectric optical antennae for the efficient SERS sensing.
