Abstract
G-quadruplex/thioflavin T (G4/THT) is one of the ideal label-free fluorescent light-emitting elements in the field of biosensors due to its good programmability and adaptability. However, the unsatisfactory luminous efficiency of single-molecule G4/THT limits its more practical applications. Here, we developed a G4 embedded semi-catalytic hairpin assembly (G4-SCHA) reaction by rationally modifying the traditional CHA reaction, and combined with the invasive reaction, supplemented by magnetic separation technology, for label-free sensitive detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The invasive reaction enabled specific recognition of single-base mutations in DNA sequences as well as preliminary signal cycle amplification. Then, magnetic separation was used to shield the false positive signals. Finally, the G4-SCHA was created for secondary amplification and label-free output of the signal. This dual-signal amplified label-free biosensor has been shown to detect mutant targets as low as 78.54 fM. What's more, this biosensor could distinguish 0.01 % of the mutant targets from a mixed sample containing a large number of wild-type targets. In addition, the detection of real and complex biological samples also verified the practical application value of this biosensor in the field of molecular design breeding. Therefore, this study improves a label-free fluorescent light-emitting element, and then proposes a simple, efficient and universal label-free SNP biosensing strategy, which also provides an important reference for the development of other G4/THT based biosensors.

Abstract
As a common heavy metal contaminant, Cd2+ has adverse effects on food safety and consumer health. It is very important for human health to realize highly sensitive Cd2+ detection methods. The self-powered sensing system based on enzyme biofuel cells (EBFCs) does not need an external power supply, which can simplify the experimental equipment and has great application value in portable detection. Thus, the biosensor is innovatively integrated into the screen-printed electrode to construct a new type of portable sensor suitable for on-site and real-time Cd2+ detection. Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) combined with the Cd2+-dependent deoxyribose (DNAzyme) signal amplification strategy is used to enhance the detection sensitivity while specifically recognizing the Cd2+. Moreover, the self-powered sensor combines with smartphones to realize quantitative Cd2+ detection without other instruments and has the characteristic of Effectively improving the hazard detection technology is essential to ensure food safety. Portability, simplicity, and speed are suitable for real-time Cd2+ detection in the field. The dual mechanism and three quantitative modes combining colorimetric and two electrical signals output modes are adopted to realize the visualization and accurate detection. A series of research results confirm that this strategy is of great significance to strengthen the development of intelligent Cd2+ technology, expand the application of self-powered sensing technology, and improve the safety detection system.

Abstract
The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that simultaneously achieves electricity generation and sewage degradation. In this study, a novel cathode catalyst metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been fabricated by two-step hydrothermal and dual-solution method (CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8). The synthesized trimetal MOFs exhibited a 3D badminton-like structure morphology and porosity. The results of the characterizations showed that CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8 possesses greater surface area porosity and novel functional groups. The Trimetal MOF-on-MOF mode not only demonstrated the stability of the structure but also enhanced its mechanism. Molecular mechanism analysis revealed changes in the organic ligand and metal binding site due to the transformation of Cu2+ to Cu+, Co2+ to Co3+, and Zn-N to Zn-O organic connection. Furthermore, differences between the two fabrication methods were compared. The solid-state single preparation (CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8-1), was synthesized using the two-step hydrothermal method; the liquid mixed preparation material (CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8-2), was synthesized using the dual-solution method; they exhibited completely different chemical structures and morphologies during material testing and characterization. The maximum output power density of CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8-2-MFC was 246.38 mW/m2, about 2.49 times of ZIF-8 (98.72 mW/m2). The output voltage of CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8-1-MFC was measured at 357 mV over 10 d, while that of CuCo-MOF@ZIF-8-2-MFC reached 365 mV over 12 d.

Abstract
The amplification strategies used for self-powered biosensor based on biofuel cell (BFC-SPB) need to be further developed. Because the currently developed strategies utilized the complicated hybridization of DNA or poorly readable current signal of capacitors for amplification, which limits the practical application in public health emergencies. Here, we present a facile chemical amplification strategy for BFC-SPB. The 5-min amplification was triggered by simply adding H2O2 solution dropwise to the sensing cathode after the formation of the immune sandwich. The Ag NP of immunoprobe were oxidized to Ag(I), which can be served as the electron acceptor of the cathode. The amount of immunoprobe was positively correlated with that of the antigen, resulting in corresponding and high concentration of Ag(I) after the amplification, which enhanced the ability of the cathode as the electron acceptor. Meanwhile the glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) was performed on the bioanode modified with glucose oxidase (GOx). After assembling the bioanode and sensing cathode, the open circuit voltage of the BFC-SPB, measured by digital multimeter, distinctly rised with the elevated concentration of the antigen. To demonstrate the proof of concept, immunoglobulin G (IgG), selecting as a model analyte, was sensitively detected using this method. Result indicated that the limit of detection was 4.4 fg mL-1 (0.03 amol mL-1) in the linear range of 1 pg mL-1-10 μg mL-1. This work initiates a brand-new way of chemical amplification strategy for BFC-SPB, and offers a promising platform for practical applications.

Abstract
The long-term operation feature of enzymatic biofuel cell-based self-powered biosensor (EBFC-SPB) endows them with the potential to execute dual-signal biosensing without having to integrate an extra signal acquisition device. Herein, cobalt and manganese codoped CeO2 nanospheres (CoMn-CeO2 NSs) with glucose-oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities have been developed as substrate-switched dual-channel signal transduction components in EBFC-SPB for a dual-signal assay of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The CoMn-CeO2 NSs modified with aptamer are anchored to a complementary DNA-attached bioanode of EBFC-SPB by base complementary pairing, which catalyze the glucose oxidation together with the glucose oxidase (GOx) on the bioanode. Once the AFB1 appears, CoMn-CeO2 NSs will be released from the bioanode due to the binding specificity of the aptamer, resulting in a decreased catalytic efficiency and the first declining stage of EBFC-SPB. Accompanied by the introduction of H2O2, the residual CoMn-CeO2 NSs on the bioanode switch to peroxidase-like activity and mediate the production of benzo-4-chlorohexadienone (4-CD) precipitate, which increases the steric hindrance and yields another declining stage of EBFC-SPB. By assessing the variation amplitudes during these two declining stages, the dual-signal assay of AFB1 has been realized with satisfying results. This work not only breaks ground in dual-signal bioassays but also deepens the application of nanozymes in EBFC-SPB.

Abstract
A triple signal amplification strategy was integrated with a built-in double electrode and external energy storage device to fabricate a novel self-powered biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21. Specifically, DNA tetrahedra and haripin2-glucose oxidase are modified on the surface of the biocathode and bioanode by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) to achieve dual signal amplification. Moreover, triple signal amplification is realized by including an external capacitor. Consequently, the as-constructed self-powered biosensor demonstrates a low detection limit of 0.06 fM toward the miRNA-21 assay within the range of 0.1 fM to 10 pM. This study presents a practical and sensitive approach to timely cancer detection.

Abstract
In glucose biofuel cells (G-BFCs), glucose oxidation at the anode and oxygen reduction at the cathode yield electrons, which generate electric energy that can power a wide range of electronic devices. Research associated with the development of G-BFCs has increased in popularity among researchers because of the eco-friendly nature of G-BFCs (as related to their construction) and their evolution from inexpensive bio-based materials. In addition, their excellent specificity towards glucose as an energy source, and other properties, such as small size and weight, make them attractive within various demanding applied environments. For example, G-BFCs have received much attention as implanted devices, especially for uses related to cardiac activities. Envisioned pacemakers and defibrillators powered by G-BFCs would not be required to have conventional lithium batteries exchanged every 5-10 years. However, future research is needed to develop G-BFCs demonstrating more stable power consistency and improved lifespan, as well as solving the challenges in converting laboratory-made implantable G-BFCs into implanted devices in the human body. The categorization of G-BFCs as a subcategory of different biofuel cells and their performance is reviewed in this article.

Abstract
In this study, a self-powered biosensor based on an enzymatic biofuel cell was proposed for the first time for the ultrasensitive detection of soluble CD44 protein. The as-prepared biosensor was composed of the co-exist aptamer and glucose oxidase bioanode and bilirubin oxidase modified biocathode. Initially, the electron transfer from bioanode to biocathode was hindered due to the presence of the aptamer with high insulation, generating a low open-circuit voltage (EOCV). Once the target CD44 protein was present, it was recognized and captured by the aptamer at the bioanode, thus the interaction between the target CD44 protein and the immobilized aptamer caused the structural change at the surface of the electrode, which facilitated the transfer of electrons. The EOCV showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of the CD44 protein concentrations in the range of 0.5-1000 ng mL-1 and the detection limit was 0.052 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3). The sensing platform showed excellent anti-interference performance and outstanding stability that maintained over 97% of original EOCV after 15 days. In addition, the relative standard deviation (1.40-1.96%) and recovery (100.23-101.31%) obtained from detecting CD44 protein in real-life blood samples without special pre-treatment indicated that the constructed biosensor had great potential for early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is considered to be an important biomarker of heart failure (HF) attracting attention. However, its low concentration and short half-life in blood lead to a low-sensitivity detection of BNP, which is a challenge that has to be overcome. In this work, we propose a highly specific, highly sensitive T7 RNA polymerase-assisted clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas13a system to detect BNP via an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform and incorporate exonuclease III (Exo III)-hairpin and dumbbell-shaped hybridization chain reaction (HCR) technologies. In this detection scheme, the ECL sensing platform possesses low background signal and high sensitivity. Firstly, the T7 promoter-initiated T7 RNA polymerase acts as a signal amplification technique to generate large amounts of RNAs that can activate CRISPR/Cas13a activity. Secondly, CRISPR/Cas13a is able to trans-cleave the surrounding trigger strand to produce DNA1. Thirdly, DNA1 is involved in the co-amplification reaction of Exo III and hairpin DNA, which subsequently triggers a dumbbell-shaped HCR technology. Eventually, a large number of Ru (II) molecules are inserted into the interstitial space of the dumbbell-shaped HCR to generate a strong ECL signal. The CRISPR/Cas13a possesses outstanding specificity for a single base and increased sensitivity. The tightly conformed dumbbell-shaped HCR provides higher sensitivity than the traditional linear HCR amplification technique. Ultimately, the clever combination of several amplification reactions enables the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 3.2 fg/mL. It showed promise for clinical sample testing, with recovery rates ranging from 98.4% to 103% in 5% human serum samples. This detection method offered a valuable tool for early HF detection, emphasizing the synergy of amplification strategies and specificity conferred by CRISPR/Cas13a technology.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a major malignant cancer with low survival rates, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Herein, a biosensing platform that is self-powered derived from a capacitor-coupled EBFC has been developed for ultra-sensitive real-time identification of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with the assistance of a mobile phone. The flexible substrate of the platform is prepared on a carbon paper modified with graphdiyne and gold nanoparticles. The biosensor employs DNAzyme-mediated dual strand displacement amplification, which enhances the signal output intensity of the EBFC and improves selectivity. The coupling of the capacitor with the EBFC significantly amplifies the sensing signal, causing a 10.6-fold surge in current respond and further improving the sensitivity of the sensing platform. The established detection approach demonstrates a linear relationship varied from 0.0001 to 10,000 pM, with a sensitivity down to 32.3 aM as the minimum detectable limit, which has been effectively utilized for detecting miRNA-21 in practical samples. This sensing system provides strong support for the construction of portable detection devices, and the strategy of the platform construction provides an effective method for ultra-sensitive and accurate detection of miRNA, holding great potential in clinical diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, and drug screening for cancer.

Abstract
Bilirubin oxidases (BODs) [EC 1.3.3.5 - bilirubin: oxygen oxido-reductase] are enzymes that belong to the multicopper oxidase family and can oxidize bilirubin, diphenols, and aryl amines and reduce the oxygen by direct four-electron transfer from the electrode with almost no electrochemical overpotential. Therefore, BOD is a promising bioelectrocatalyst for (self-powered) biosensors and/or enzymatic fuel cells. The advantages of electrochemically active BOD enzymes include selective biosensing, biocatalysis for efficient energy conversion, and electrosynthesis. Owing to the rise in publications and patents, as well as the expanding interest in BODs for a range of physiological conditions, this Review analyzes scientific literature reports on BOD enzymes and current hypotheses on their bioelectrocatalysis. This Review evaluates the specific research outcomes of the BOD in enzyme (protein) engineering, immobilization strategies, and challenges along with their bioelectrochemical properties, limitations, and applications in the fields of (i) biosensors, (ii) self-powered biosensors, and (iii) biofuel cells for powering bioelectronics.

Abstract
The rapid maturation of smart city ecosystems is intimately linked to advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and self-powered sensing technologies. Central to this evolution are battery-less sensors that are critical for applications such as continuous health monitoring through blood metabolites and vital signs, the recognition of human activity for behavioral analysis, and the operational enhancement of humanoid robots. The focus on biosensors that exploit the human body for energy-spanning wearable, attachable, and implantable variants has intensified, driven by their broad applicability in areas from underwater exploration to biomedical assays and earthquake monitoring. The heart of these sensors lies in their diverse energy harvesting mechanisms, including biofuel cells, and piezoelectric, triboelectric, and pyroelectric nanogenerators. Notwithstanding the wealth of research, the literature still lacks a holistic review that integrates the design challenges and implementation intricacies of such sensors. Our review seeks to fill this gap by thoroughly evaluating energy harvesting strategies from both material and structural perspectives and assessing their roles in powering an array of sensors for myriad uses. This exploration offers a comprehensive outlook on the state of self-powered sensing devices, tackling the nuances of their deployment and highlighting their potential to revolutionize data gathering in autonomous systems. The intent of this review is to chart the current landscape and future prospects, providing a pivotal reference point for ongoing research and innovation in self-powered wireless sensing technologies.

Abstract
Bacterial infections, viral infections and autoimmune diseases pose a considerable threat to human health. Procalcitonin (PCT) has emerged as a biomarker for the detection of these diseases. To ensure accurate and reliable results, we propose a dual-mode approach that incorporates self-validation and self-correction mechanisms. Herein, we develop a dual-mode self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) and colorimetric sensor to determine PCT. The self-powered PEC sensor was constructed with a photoanode of spherical nanoflower-MoS2/Cu2ZnSnS4/Bi2S3 material and a photocathode of CuInS2 material. Ni4Cu2 bimetallic hollow nanospheres (BHNs) possess superoxide dismutase and catalase performance, which facilitate superoxide anion radical (·O2-) and H2O2 circulating generation, promoting the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes to amplify photocurrent signal. Thus Ni4Cu2 BHNs is used as a marker material for PEC sensor. Meanwhile, in colorimetric mode, Ni4Cu2 BHNs converts blue oxTMB to a colourless TMB for colorimetric detection of PCT. Based on this principle, dual-mode determination of PCT with high sensitivity is achieved. The dual-mode method not only demonstrates outstanding properties and practicability, but also presents an effective, highly efficient and reliable method for detecting PCT.

Abstract
A self-powered biosensing system with multivariate signal amplification is designed for the ultrasensitive, highly efficient, rapid-response, and real-time detection of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). The biosensing system is composed of enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs), a capacitor, a digital multimeter (DMM), and a computer. Using the hybridization chain reaction (HCR), a few single DNA chains are transformed into abundant double-helix chains, which stimulates the reduction of [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to [Ru(NH3)6]2+ by electrostatic interaction, corresponding to the "on" state for HCR. As a result, the open-circuit voltage (EOCV) is significantly increased in this self-powered biosensing system. When PDGF-BB is present, a binding interaction between the target and the aptamer, i.e., PDGF-BB/Apt, corresponding to the "off" state for HCR, results in a decrease of EOCV. The PDGF-BB concentration is inversely proportional to EOCV, allowing readable, effective, and precise real-time detection of PDGF-BB. The detection limit of the biosensing system is 0.031 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy provides a promising and powerful tool for the early clinical diagnosis of related colorectal cancer markers.

Abstract
Based on the controllable instantaneous self-assembly ability of long-chain branched DNA nanostructures and the synergistic effect between nucleic acid amplification without enzymes, a highly sensitive and highly specific self-powered biosensing platform is developed. Two-dimensional graphdiyne is prepared, modified on flexible carbon cloth, and then functionalized with gold nanoparticles. When DNA mi-tubes are applied on it, target thalassemia gene CD122 triggers a dual-catalytic hairpin assembly reaction. The generated nanoscale DNA is precisely captured by the DNA mi-tube, exposing binding sites and activating the hybridization chain reaction to form long-chain branched DNA. Double-stranded DNA, along with dendritic DNA carrying a large number of guanine bases, precisely captures the signal molecule methylene blue (MB), generating a significant electrochemical signal. The redox reaction of MB also causes a proportional change in the system's color, achieving a colorimetric detection functionality. An efficient dual-mode self-powered sensing platform, therefore, is established for detecting the thalassemia gene CD122. The linear response range of target concentration to open-circuit voltage and RGB Blue value is 0.0001-10,000 pM. The detection limit under electrochemical mode is 36.3 aM (S/N = 3), and under colorimetric mode, it is as low as 12.1 aM (S/N = 3). The new method exhibits high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and high accuracy, providing a universal strategy for designing novel biosensing platforms that can be extended to the detection of other biomolecules.

Abstract
Research has shown that microRNAs exhibit regular dysregulation in cancers, making them potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. However, achieving specific and sensitive detection of microRNAs has been a challenging task. To address this issue, two-dimensional networked graphdiyne is used to fabricate a self-powered biosensor and establish a new approach for ultra-responsive dual-mode detection of miRNA-141, a breast cancer biomarker. This method detects miRNA-141 using both electrochemical and colorimetric modes by measuring the output electrical signal of an enzyme-based biofuel cell and the RGB blue value of the electrolyte solution. Tetrahedral DNA and DNA nanorods also are immobilized on the electrode as a biocathode and methylene blue is used as the electron acceptor, which is fixed in the DNA phosphate backbone through electrostatic adsorption. The bioanode catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to produce electrons, which reduces methylene blue to its reduced form, resulting in a high open-circuit voltage (EOCV) and a highger RGB Blue value, enabling dual-mode detection. A reliable linear correlation is observed between EOCV values and miRNA-141 concentrations ranging from 0.0001 to 100 pM, with a detection limit of 21.9 aM (S/N = 3). Additionally, the colorimetric mode also demonstrates a reliable linear correlation with a concentration range of 0.0001-10000 pM, and this method can detect a concentration of 22.2 aM (S/N = 3). This innovative research realizes sensitive and accurate determination of miRNA-141 and provides an important new method for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Classical luminol-based chemiluminescence (CL) is the process of emitting light enhanced by the addition of coreactant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). To address the instability issue of H2O2 decomposition, herein, we proposed a nanozyme-based biofuel cell (BFC) ingeniously coupled with a luminol CL system via in situ generation of H2O2. Specifically, the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) nanozyme with glucose oxidase-like activity can act as the anodic enzyme of BFC to catalyze the oxidation of glucose to produce H2O2 and electrons. In this case, H2O2 as a coreactant enhanced the CL intensity and the cathode of the BFC obtained electrons to generate the open circuit voltage (EOCV) signals. As a result, a dual-signal biosensing platform was successfully constructed. Interestingly, the AuNPs-catalyzed system operates in an alkaline medium, which precisely meets the pH requirement for luminol luminescence. Such a BFC-CL system not only greatly lessens the effect of unstable exogenous H2O2 on the signal stability but also enhances the CL of luminol. Furthermore, both CL and EOCV signals present a positive correlation with the glucose concentration. Therefore, this novel BFC-CL system shows good performance for dual-signal biosensing, which would serve as a valuable guideline for the design and application of BFC-based self-powered or CL biosensors.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are closely associated with human disease occurrence, including cancers, diabetes, inflammation, heart diseases, and viral infections, and their rapid and accurate detection is vital for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Based on one-step reaction of strand displacement amplification (SDA) and primer exchange reaction (PER), a label-free and highly sensitive miRNA-21 detection strategy was developed. In this strategy, the target miRNA-21 binds directly to the hairpin template, triggering the SDA reaction and generating a large number of single strand DNAs as primers for PER amplification. With the help of polymerase, plenty of G-quadruplex fragments of different lengths were accumulated, and the organic dye thioflavin T selectively binds to these G-quadruplex fragments to produce a strong fluorescent signal. There is a wide detection range in this method, miRNA-21 can be detected in the range of 10 fM - 1 nM, the detection limit is low (1.25 fM). This method has good specificity and can effectively distinguish single-base mismatches of miRNA. In addition, the versatility of the method was validated by changing the target recognition site of SDA template.

Abstract
Self-powered biofuel cells (BFCs) have evolved for highly sensitive detection of biomarkers such as noncodon micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) in the presence of interfering substrates. Self-charging supercapacitive BFCs for in vivo and in vitro cellular microenvironments represent the most prevalent sensing mechanism for diagnosis. Therefore, self-powered biosensing (SPB) with a capacitor and contact separation with a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) offers electrochemical and colorimetric dual-mode detection via improved electrical signal intensity. In this review, we discuss three major components: stretchable self-powered BFC design, miRNA sensing, and impedance spectroscopy. A specific focus is given to 1) assembling of sensors for biomarkers, 2) electrical output signal intensification, and 3) role of supercapacitors and nanogenerators in SPBs. We outline the key features of stretchable SPBs and the sequence of miRNA sensing by SPBs. We have emphasized the need of a supercapacitor and nanogenerator for SPBs in the context of advanced assembly of the sensing unit. Finally, we outline the role of impedance spectroscopy in the detection and estimation of biomarkers. We highlight key challenges in SPBs for biomarker sensing, which needs improved sensing accuracy, integration strategies of electrochemical biosensing for in vitro and in vivo microenvironments, and the impact of miRNA sensing on cancer diagnostics. This article attempts a specific focus on the accuracy and limitations of sensing unit for miRNA biomarkers and associated tool for boosting electrical signal intensity for a potential big step further.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most common form of genetic variation in the human genome, are the main cause of individual differences. Furthermore, such attractive genetic markers are emerging as important hallmarks in clinical diagnosis and treatment. A variety of destructive abnormalities, such as malignancy, cardiovascular disease, inherited metabolic disease, and autoimmune disease, are associated with single-nucleotide variants. Therefore, identification of SNPs is necessary for better understanding of the gene function and health of an individual. SNP detection with simple preparation and operational procedures, high affinity and specificity, and cost-effectiveness have been the key challenge for years. Although biosensing methods offer high specificity and sensitivity, as well, they suffer drawbacks, such as complicated designs, complicated optimization procedures, and the use of complicated chemistry designs and expensive reagents, as well as toxic chemical compounds, for signal detection and amplifications. This review aims to provide an overview on improvements for SNP biosensing based on fluorescent and electrochemical methods. Very recently, novel designs in each category have been presented in detail. Furthermore, detection limitations, advantages and disadvantages, and challenges have also been presented for each type.

Abstract
Two-dimensional carbon-coated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2@C) hollow nanorods are combined with nucleic acid signal amplification strategies and DNA hexahedral nanoframework to construct a novel self-powered biosensing platform for ultra-sensitive dual-mode detection of tumor suppressor microRNA-199a. The nanomaterial is applied on carbon cloth and then modified with glucose oxidase or using as bioanode. A large number of double helix DNA chains are produced on bicathode by nucleic acid technologies including 3D DNA walker, hybrid chain reaction and DNA hexahedral nanoframework to adsorb methylene blue, producing high EOCV signal. Methylene blue also is reduced and an increased RGB Blue value is observed. For microRNA-199a detection, the assay shows a extensive linear range of 0.0001-100 pM with a low detection limit of 4.94 amol/L (S/N = 3). The method has been applied to the detection of actual serum samples, providing a novel method for the accurate and sensitive detection of tumor markers.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is acute necrosis of a portion of the myocardium caused by myocardial ischemia, which seriously threatens people's health and life safety. Its early diagnosis is a difficult problem in clinical medicine. Research has found that the abnormal expression of microRNA-199a (miR-199a) and microRNA-499 (miR-499) was closely related to AMI disease. In this work, we took advantage of the structural advantages of nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres (N-HCNSs) to design an ultra-sensitive, portable real-time monitoring visual self-powered biosensor system, which based on dual-target miRNAs triggered catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) for sensitive detection of miR-199a and miR-499. In addition, the capacitor and the smartphone are introduced into the system to realize the secondary improvement of system sensitivity and portable real-time visual monitoring. Under optimized conditions, in the linear range of 0.1-100000 aM, the detection limits of miR-199a and miR-499 are 0.031 and 0.027 aM, respectively. At the same time, the ultra-sensitive detection of miRNAs is realized in the serum sample, and the recovery rate of miR-199a and miR-499 are 98.0-106.0% (RSD: 0.6-8.1%) and 94.0-109.7% (RSD: 1.8-7.7%), respectively. The method is simple, sensitive and can be used for real-time tracking and portable monitoring of related diseases.

Abstract
Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) overexpression in tumor cells is a potential target for drug therapy, but few studies have reported screening GLUT1 inhibitors from natural or synthetic compounds. With current analysis techniques, it is difficult to accurately monitor the GLUT1 inhibitory effect of drug molecules in real-time. We developed a cell membrane-based glucose sensor (CMGS) that integrated a hydrogel electrode with tumor cell membranes to monitor GLUT1 transmembrane transport and screen for GLUT1 inhibitors in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). CMGS is compatible with cell membranes of various origins, including different types of tumors and cell lines with GLUT1 expression knocked down by small interfering RNA or small molecules. Based on CMGS continuous monitoring technique, we investigated the glucose transport kinetics of cell membranes with varying levels of GLUT1 expression. We used CMGS to determine the GLUT1-inhibitory effects of drug monomers with similar structures from Scutellaria baicalensis and catechins families. Results were consistent with those of the cellular glucose uptake test and molecular-docking simulation. CMGS could accurately screen drug molecules in TCMs that inhibit GLUT1, providing a new strategy for studying transmembrane protein-receptor interactions.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common mycotoxin, and it is a significant threat to human health throughout the food chain. In this study, a sensitive and specific fluorescent sensor based on magnetic separation technology combined with chain displacement amplification was developed for fast and easy detection of OTA in food. The designed strand displacement amplification can improve the sensitivity for the detection, and the magnetic nanomaterials can provide a large surface area, thus enhancing the capture efficiency of the target from the sample. Based on those designs, the experimental results showed that the proposed method displayed excellent performance. The linearity range was 0.5-128.0 ng/mL. The detection limit was 0.125 ng/mL; the relative standard deviations were 3.92-7.71%. Additionally, the developed method was satisfactorily applied to determine OTA in wheat, corn, and red wine samples at three spiked levels (1.0, 8.0, and 64.0 ng/mL). The recoveries ranged from 85.45 to 107.8% for wheat flour, 101.34 to 108.35% for corn flour, and 91.15 to 93.80% for red wine, respectively. Compared with high-performance liquid chromatography, the proposed method showed a lower limit of detection and equal recovery. Hence, the designed method is a potential and good detecting tool for OTA residue analysis in complex matrix samples.

Abstract
Developing a simple and easy-to-operate biosensor with tunable dynamic range would provide enormous opportunities to promote the diagnostic applications. Herein, an enzyme-responsive electrochemical DNA biosensor is developed by using only-one immobilization probe. The immobilization probe was designed with a two-loop hairpin-like structure that contained the mutually independent target recognition and enzyme (EcoRI restriction endonuclease) responsive domains. The target recognition was based on a toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction strategy. The toehold region was initially caged in the loop of the immobilization probe and showed a relatively low binding affinity with target, which was improved via EcoRI cleavage of immobilization probe to liberate the toehold region. The EcoRI cleavage operation for immobilization probe demonstrated the well regulation ability in detection performance. It showed a largely extended dynamic range, a significantly lowered detection limit and better discrimination ability toward the mismatched sequences whether in two buffers (with high or low salt concentrations) or in the serum system. The advantages also includes simplicity in probe design, and facile biosensor fabrication and operation. It thus opens a new avenue for the development of the modulated DNA biosensor and hold a great potential for the diagnostic applications and drug monitoring.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been extensively explored in developing sensors due to their unique properties, contributing to the development of reliable sensor designs with improved sensitivity and specificity. Herein, we propose the construction of a fluorescent/electrochemical dual-mode self-powered biosensor for advanced biosensing using DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs@DNA). AgNC@DNA, due to its small size, exhibits advantageous characteristics as an optical probe. We investigated the sensing efficacy of AgNCs@DNA as a fluorescent probe for glucose detection. Fluorescence emitted by AgNCs@DNA served as the readout signal as a response to more H2O2 being generated by glucose oxidase for increasing glucose levels. The second readout signal of this dual-mode biosensor was utilized via the electrochemical route, where AgNCs served as charge mediators between the glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme and carbon working electrode during the oxidation process of glucose catalyzed by GOx. The developed biosensor features low-level limits of detection (LODs), ~23 μM for optical and ~29 μM for electrochemical readout, which are much lower than the typical glucose concentrations found in body fluids, including blood, urine, tears, and sweat. The low LODs, simultaneous utilization of different readout strategies, and self-powered design demonstrated in this study open new prospects for developing next-generation biosensor devices.

Abstract
A dual-biomarker, self-powered biosensor was fabricated for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) and miRNA-155 based on enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs), catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), and DNA hybridization chain reaction (HCR), with a capacitor and digital multimeter (DMM). In the presence of miRNA-21, the CHA and HCR are triggered and lead to the generation of a double-helix chain, which stimulates [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to move to the biocathode surface due to electrostatic interaction. Subsequently, the biocathode obtains electrons from the bioanode and reduces [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to [Ru(NH3)6]2+, which significantly increases the open-circuit voltage (E1OCV). When miRNA-155 is present, CHA and HCR cannot be completed, resulting in a low E2OCV. The self-powered biosensor allows for the simultaneous ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 with detection limits of 0.15 and 0.66 fM, respectively. Moreover, this self-powered biosensor exhibits the highly sensitive detection for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 assay in human serum samples.

Abstract
This work focusses on developing a hybrid enzyme biofuel cell-based self-powered biosensor with appreciable stability and durability using murine leukemia fusion gene fragments (tDNA) as a model analyte. The cell consists of a Ti3 C2 Tx /multiwalled carbon nanotube/gold nanoparticle/glucose oxidase bioanode and a Zn/Co-modified carbon nanotube cathode. The bioanode uniquely exhibits strong electron transfer ability and a high surface area for the loading of 1.14 × 10-9 mol cm-2 glucose oxidase to catalyze glucose oxidation. Meanwhile, the abiotic cathode with a high oxygen reduction reaction activity negates the use of conventional bioenzymes as catalysts, which aids in extending the stability and durability of the sensing system. The biosensor offers a 0.1 fm-1 nm linear range and a detection limit of 0.022 fm tDNA. Additionally, the biosensor demonstrates a reproducibility of ≈4.85% and retains ≈87.42% of the initial maximal power density after a 4-week storage at 4 °C, verifying a significantly improved long-term stability.

Abstract
Recent advances in enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) have resulted in great progress in health monitoring and supplying power to medical applications, such as drug delivery. On the other hand, to enhance the electric field-assisted transdermal permeation for facial mask application, an external power source is usually required. Herein, we attempted to combine an EBFC with a facial mask so that the microcurrent generated can boost the transdermal permeability of target molecules in the facial mask essence. When screen-printed onto a polypropylene-based non-woven fabric, the three-layered flexible EBFC could produce a voltage of ∼0.4 V and a maximum power density of 23.3 μW cm-2, leading to an approximately 2-3-fold increase in permeated nicotinamide, arbutin, and aspirin levels within 15 min compared to non-iontophoretic transdermal drug delivery. Both cell viability and animal experiments further demonstrated that the EBFC-powered iontophoresis worked well in living animals with good biocompatibility. These results suggest that the EBFC-powered iontophoretic facial mask can effectively improve the permeation of drugs and holds a promise for the possible cosmetic application.

Abstract
A real-time self-powered biosensor is designed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-21 based on electrochemical energy device capacitor and target-induced recycling double amplification strategy, which greatly improves the output signal by converting a small number of targets into two glucose oxidase labeled output strand DNAs, and the squeezed-out output strand is recycled by the cathode to fix more signal [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to further improve the detection signal. A digital multimeter (DMM) is connected to computer for real-time displaying the output signal of the self-powered biosensing system, which improves the accuracy of the sensing platform. The sensitivity of the proposed biosensor is 116.15 μA/pM for target microRNA-21, which is 32.26 times higher than that of pure EBFC (3.6 μA/pM). The target concentration is proportional to the open-circuit voltage value in a wide linear range of 0.1-10000 fM with a low detection limit of 0.04 fM (S/N = 3). The method shows high sensitivity and excellent selectivity, and can be applied to detect tumor marker microRNA-21 in biological matrix.

Abstract
Herein, a chemiluminescence (CL) biosensor based on CRISPR-Cas12a and cation exchange reaction was constructed to detect the biomarker microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction was introduced to convert each target RNA strand into a long single-stranded DNA with repeated sequences, which acted as triggers to initiate the transcleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a. The activated Cas12a could cleave the biotinylated linker DNA of CuS nanoparticles (NPs) to inhibit the binding of CuS NPs to streptavidin immobilized on the surface of the microplate, which strongly reduced the generation of Cu2+ from a cation exchange between CuS NPs and AgNO3, and thus efficiently suppressed the CL of Cu2+-luminol-H2O2 system, giving a "signal off" biosensor. With the multiple amplification, the detection limit of the developed sensor for miRNA-21 reached 16 aM. In addition, this biosensor is not only suitable for a professional chemiluminescence instrument but also for a smartphone used as a detection tool for the purpose of portable and low-cost assay. This method could be used to specifically detect quite a low level of miRNA-21 in human serum samples and various cancer cells, indicating its potential in ultrasensitive molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
A self-powered biosensor (SPB) was constructed for the ultra-sensitive detection of microRNA-155 (miR-155) by combining a capacitor/enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC), a strategy of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and a digital multimeter (DMM). The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the assembled EBFC-SPB can reach 15.85 μA/pM with the action of matching capacitor, which is 513% of that without capacitor (3.09 μA/pM). This achieves the first signal amplification. Furthermore, when the target miR-155 triggers RCA, electrons are continuous generated and flow to the biocathode through the external circuit to catalyze the reduction of oxygen and release [Ru(NH3)6]3+ electron acceptor. This achieves the second signal amplification. Finally, DMM is used to convert the signal into instantaneous current and amplify it for real-time reading. This achieves the third signal amplification. Therefore, the limit of detection (LOD) of the developed biosensor is as low as 0.17 fM (S/N = 3), and the linear range is between 0.5 fM and 10,000 fM, indicating that the EBFC-SPB has a broad application prospect for cancer marker of miR-155 with ultrasensitive detection.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors, in which enzymatic biofuel cells simultaneously work as energy power and signal generators, have become a research hotspot. They display the merits of power self-support, a simplified structure, in vivo operational feasibility, online and timely monitoring, etc. Since the concept of enzymatic biofuel cell-powered biosensors (EBFC-SPBs) was first proposed, its applications in health monitoring have scored tremendous achievements. However, the creation and practical application of portable EBFC-SPBs are still impeded by the difficulty in their miniaturization. In recent years, the booming microfluidic technology has powerfully pushed forward the progress made in miniaturized and portable EBFC-SPBs. This brief review recalls and summarizes the achievements and progress made in miniaturized EBFC-SPBs. In addition, we also discuss the advantages and challenges that microfluidic and screen-printing technologies provide to wearable and disposable EBFC-SPBs.

Abstract
Herein, a new allosteric DNA switch-mediated catalytic DNA circuit reaction strategy has been proposed for ratiometric and sensitive nucleic acid detection. The sensing system was based on two DNA hybrid probes, each of which was constructed by annealing a reconfigurable DNA hairpin with single-stranded DNA. Upon target recognition by the first DNA hybrid probe, a reconfigurable DNA switch was liberated, triggering a toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR) with the second DNA hybrid probe, which was accompanied by the release of another reconfigurable DNA switch. This released allosteric DNA switch could further interact with the first hybrid DNA probe via the TSDR strategy to form a reciprocal strand displacement network between the two DNA hybrid probes. Theoretically, this reciprocal strand displacement reaction would continue till the complete consumption of the reaction substrates. Thus, it provides a new signal amplification method leading toward target recognition. More interestingly, it creates a ratiometric signal response mode for target recognition, which involves the fluorescence increment of one fluorophore (Cy5) and concurrent decrement of another fluorophore (Cy3) accompanied by the target-triggered reciprocal strand displacement reaction. This process could achieve a low detection limit of about 0.1 pM toward the target nucleic acid and selective discrimination toward different mismatched targets. It could also be applied for detection in a serum sample. Thus, the developed catalytic DNA circuit reaction strategy together with ratiometric signal readout provides a new avenue for programmable, reliable and sensitive detection of nucleic acids and might also pave the way for developing more advanced DNA circuits or biosensors.

Abstract
Mobile integrated electrochemical sensors normally require a power supply for operation. Unfortunately, the practice of discarding batteries associated with these devices runs counter to our desire for a sustainable world. Self-powered sensing concepts that draw the energy directly from the measurement itself would overcome this limitation. Potentiometric sensors for the measurement of pH, many electrolytes, and gases are ubiquitous in analytical practice. However, in potentiometry, the voltage is acquired in the absence of current flow, making it seemingly impossible to draw power. Fortunately, it has been recently established that transient currents may be tolerated across potentiometric measurement cells to charge a capacitive or electrochromic element such as Prussian blue integrated in the measurement cell and whose absorbance then directly follows the potential changes in a reversible manner. We have shown here that commercial electronic paper (e-paper), widely used to make electronic ink and ebook readers, can directly be driven by a potentiometric measurement cell in a reversible manner at mild potentials of >100 mV typical for such sensors. The capacitance of the e-paper pixel studied here was found to be 0.53 μF mm-2, 30 times smaller than that of Prussian blue films. The colorimetric absorbance of the e-paper was also more stable (observed drift over 2 h corresponding to 0.76 mV h-1) and reproducible (corresponding to 1 mV standard deviation). The e-paper pixel was directly driven by a polymeric pH electrode as a model system. Choosing a basic inner solution (pH 12.9) behind the membrane gave sufficiently positive cell potentials for driving visible absorbance change in a sample pH range of 4-10, while a more acidic pH of 3.4 and alternating the connections to the e-paper were more suited for more basic samples of pH > 10. This convenient and cost-effective approach makes it possible to directly drive an optical display from the potentiometric measurement itself and should be suitable for moderate sensing membrane resistances of less than about 100 kΩ, depending on the area of the chosen pixel.

Abstract
Accelerating diabetes-related chronic wound healing is a long-sought-after goal in diabetes management. However, therapeutic strategies based on antibiotics or catalysts still face great challenges to break the limitations of antimicrobial resistance, low H2O2 and the blocking effect of bacterial biofilms on antibiotic/catalyst penetration. Herein, we reported a glucose biofuel cell-powered and drug-free antibacterial patch, which consisted of an MAF-7 protected glucose oxidase/horseradish peroxidase anode and a horseradish peroxidase cathode, for treating diabetic wounds. This self-powered patch could take high blood glucose as fuel to generate electricity and abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ, synergistically regulating local hyperglycemia and breaking the limitations of insufficient ROS caused by low H2O2 levels. In particular, the electric field created by the GBFC could drive the negatively charged bacteria to adhere firmly to the electrode surface. As a result, the ROS produced in situ on the electrodes was localized to the bacteria, realizing precise sterilization. In vivo experiments confirmed that this self-powered patch enabled the wounds on diabetic mice to take a mere 10 days to eliminate inflammation and form mature skin with new hair follicles, demonstrating its great potential in treating bacteria-infected diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Many healthcare and environmental monitoring devices use electrochemical techniques to detect and quantify analytes. With sensors progressively becoming smaller-particularly in point-of-care (POC) devices and wearable platforms-it creates the opportunity to operate them using less energy than their predecessors. In fact, they may require so little power that can be extracted from the analyzed fluids themselves, for example, blood or sweat in case of physiological sensors and sources like river water in the case of environmental monitoring. Self-powered electrochemical sensors (SPES) can generate a response by utilizing the available chemical species in the analyzed liquid sample. Though SPESs generate relatively low power, capable devices can be engineered by combining suitable reactions, miniaturized cell designs, and effective sensing approaches for deciphering analyte information. This review details various such sensing and engineering approaches adopted in different categories of SPES systems that solely use the power available in liquid sample for their operation. Specifically, the categories discussed in this review cover enzyme-based systems, battery-based systems, and ion-selective electrode-based systems. The review details the benefits and drawbacks with these approaches, as well as prospects of and challenges to accomplishing them.

First of all, the categories and working principles of CRISPR/Cas systems for establishing the nano/biosensors are simply introduced. Then, the design and construction of CRISPR/Cas systems-based nano/biosensors are comprehensively discussed. In the end, attentions are focused on the applications of CRISPR/Cas systems-based nano/biosensors in the detection of infectious viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Impressively, the remaining opportunities and challenges for the further design and development of CRISPR/Cas system-based nano/biosensors and their promising applications are proposed.

Abstract
Polynucleotide kinase (PNK) plays an essential role in various cellular events by regulating phosphorylation processes, and abnormal homeostasis of PNK could cause many human diseases. Herein, we proposed an autocatalytic hybridization system (AHS) through the elaborate integration of hybridization chain assembly (HCA) and catalytic DNA assembly (CDA) that enables a highly efficient positive feedback amplification. The PNK-targeting AHS biosensor is composed of three modules: a recognition module, an HCA amplification module, and a CDA autocatalytic module. In the presence of PNK, the recognition module could transform the PNK input into an exposed nucleic acid initiator (I). Then the initiator strand I could trigger the autonomous HCA process in the amplification module, and the resulted HCA products could reassemble the split CDA trigger strand T, subsequently inducing the CDA process in the autocatalytic module to form abundant DNA duplex products. Consequently, the embedded initiator strand I was liberated from the CDA duplex product to autonomously trigger the new rounds of HCA circuit. The rational integration and cooperative cross-activation between the HCA and CDA module could prominently accelerate the reaction and realize the exponential amplification efficiency by initiator regeneration. As a result, the self-sustainable AHS amplifier could implement the sensitive detection of PNK in vitro and in biological samples and further fulfill accurate monitoring of the intracellular PNK activity and the effective screening of PNK inhibitors. This work paves a way for exploiting highly efficient artificial DNA circuits to analyze low-abundance biomarkers, holding great potential in biochemical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Self-powered sensors are attractive because the lack of a dedicated battery makes them environmentally friendly and allows them to be more easily miniaturized. Unfortunately, the development of self-powered potentiometric sensors is challenging because only very limited energy can be harvested from this measurement principle. For the first time, the potential of a high impedance glass pH electrode (130 M Ω) is shown here to be directly read out optically. This is accomplished by a liquid crystal display (LCD) as the electrochromic transducer, which changes its transmission upon imposing an external voltage in the range of 2-3 V. Importantly, owing to its low capacitance of about 50 pF, this process requires a very small transient charge on the order of 100 pC, which may be spontaneously imposable even across pH glass electrodes. For the LCD to be turned on, the cell voltage is boosted by additional Zn2+/Zn elements placed in series. The LCD is found to give a time-dependent absorbance decrease, which is mitigated by adding a high resistance element to attenuate the associated decay. The approach gives repeatable LCD absorbance values that allows one to directly visualize pH with a precision of about 0.01 pH units. The absorbance value depends inversely on pH in a much wider range (pH 1-13) than what is normally observed with optical sensors while based on the same underlying measurement as a potentiometric pH probe.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is actively involved in many health-related problems, including transplantation rejection and autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is important to identify an antagonist to inhibit the TLR4-induced immune cell activation. In our previous study, 10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid (10-HDA) was introduced as a potential antagonist for TLR4; however, possible interaction between 10-HDA and TLR4 needed to be detected. Due to the ability of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor to confirm the specific interactions between receptors and ligands, a new configuration of SPR biosensor proposed to detect the possible interaction between 10-HDA and TLR4. Hence, 10-HDA was immobilized using the (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) polymer as a crosslinking agent on the Ag-MgF2 surface. Besides, genetically modified HEK293T cells with high TLR4 expression were used to study the possible interaction between 10-HDA and TLR4. Surprisingly, the SPR angle was significantly reduced in the presence of HEK cells expressing TLR4, while HEK cells without TLR4 did not affect the SPR angle. So, the proposed SPR biosensor successfully detected the interaction betweenTLR4 and 10-HDA. The sensitivity and detection limit of the biosensor were achieved at 0.05 and 0.5 million cells expressing TLR4, respectively, with a two-fold dynamic range.
