Abstract
The epidemic of infectious diseases caused by contagious pathogens is a life-threatening hazard to the entire human population worldwide. A timely and accurate diagnosis is the critical link in the fight against infectious diseases. Aptamer-based biosensors, the so-called aptasensors, employ nucleic acid aptamers as bio-receptors for the recognition of target pathogens of interest. This review focuses on the design strategies as well as state-of-the-art technologies of aptasensor-based diagnostics for infectious pathogens (mainly bacteria and viruses), covering the utilization of three major signal transducers, the employment of aptamers as recognition moieties, the construction of versatile biosensing platforms (mostly micro and nanomaterial-based), innovated reporting mechanisms, and signal enhancement approaches. Advanced point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious disease diagnostics are also discussed highlighting some representative ready-to-use devices to address the urgent needs of currently prevalent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pressing issues in aptamer-based technology and some future perspectives of aptasensors are provided for the implementation of aptasensor-based diagnostics into practical application.

Abstract
Early specific detection through indicative biomarkers and precise visualization of lesion sites are urgent requirements for clinical disease diagnosis. However, current detection and optical imaging methods are insufficient for these demands. Molecular imaging technologies are being intensely studied for reliable medical diagnosis. In the past several decades, molecular imaging with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has significant advances from analytical chemistry to medical science. SERS is the inelastic scattering generated from the interaction between photons and substances, presenting molecular structure information. The outstanding SERS virtues of high sensitivity, high specificity, and resistance to biointerference are highly advantageous for biomarker detection in a complex biological matrix. In this work, we review recent progress on the applications of SERS imaging in clinical diagnostics. With the assistance of SERS imaging, the detection of disease-related proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and pH of the cellular microenvironment can be implemented for adjuvant medical diagnosis. Moreover, multimodal imaging integrates the high penetration and high speed of other imaging modalities and imaging precision of SERS imaging, resulting in final complete and accurate imaging outcomes and exhibiting robust potential in the discrimination of pathological tissues and surgical navigation. As a promising molecular imaging technology, SERS imaging has achieved remarkable performance in clinical diagnostics and the biomedical realm. It is expected that this review will provide insights for further development of SERS imaging and promote the rapid progress and successful translation of advanced molecular imaging with clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows specific chemical information to be obtained from various types of sample. The detailed molecular information that is present in Raman spectra permits monitoring of biochemical changes that occur in diseases, such as cancer, and can be used for the early detection and diagnosis of the disease, for monitoring treatment, and to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous biological samples. Several techniques have been developed to enhance the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy by improving detection sensitivity, reducing imaging times and increasing the potential applicability for in vivo analysis. The different Raman techniques each have their own advantages that can accommodate the alternative detection formats, allowing the techniques to be applied in several ways for the detection and diagnosis of cancer. This feature article discusses the various forms of Raman spectroscopy, how they have been applied for cancer detection, and the adaptation of the techniques towards their use for in vivo cancer detection and in clinical diagnostics. Despite the advances in Raman spectroscopy, the clinical application of the technique is still limited and certain challenges must be overcome to enable clinical translation. We provide an outlook on the future of the techniques in this area and what we believe is required to allow the potential of Raman spectroscopy to be achieved for clinical cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
Novel concepts for developing a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on biocompatible materials offer great potential in versatile applications, including wearable and in vivo monitoring of target analytes. Here, we report a highly sensitive SERS sensor consisting of a biocompatible silk fibroin substrate with a high porosity and gold nanocracks. Our silk-based SERS detection takes advantage of strong local field enhancement in the nanoscale crack regions induced by gold nanostructures evaporated on a porous silk substrate. The SERS performance of the proposed sensor is evaluated in terms of detection limit, sensitivity, and linearity. Compared to the performance of a counterpart SERS sensor with a thin gold film, SERS results using 4-ABT analytes present that a significant improvement in the detection limit and sensitivity by more than 4 times, and a good linearity and a wide dynamic range is achieved. More interestingly, overlap is integral, and a quantitative measure of the local field enhancement is highly consistent with the experimental SERS enhancement.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of clinical biomolecules in a multiplexed fashion is of great importance for accurate diagnosis of diseases. Mass spectrometric (MS) approaches are exceptionally suitable for clinical analysis due to its high throughput, high sensitivity, and reliable qualitative and quantitative capabilities. To break through the bottleneck of MS technique for detecting high-molecular-weight substances with low ionization efficiency, the concept of mass spectrometric biosensing has been put forward by adopting mass spectrometric chips to recognize the targets and mass spectrometry to detect the signals switched by the recognition. In this review, the principle of mass spectrometric sensing, the construction of different mass tags used for biosensing, and the typical combination mode of mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) technique are summarized. Future perspectives including the design of portable matching platforms, exploitation of novel mass tags, development of effective signal amplification strategies, and standardization of MSI methodologies are proposed to promote the advancements and practical applications of mass spectrometric biosensing.

Abstract
Driven by the concept of the 'four generations of nanomaterials', the current state of the knowledge on risk assessment of future generation is explored for active nanomaterials. Through case studies, we identify challenges and evaluate the preparedness of characterization methods, available risk assessment modeling tools, and analytical instrumentation for such future generation active nanomaterials with dynamic hybrid structures of biotic-abiotic and organic-inorganic combinations. Currently available risk assessment tools and analytical instrumentation were found to be lacking the risk preparedness and characterization readiness for active nanomaterials, respectively. Potential future developments in risk assessment modeling tools and analytical techniques can be based upon this work which shall ensure long-term safety of the next generation of nanomaterials.

Abstract
We study the interaction between one aptamer and its analyte (the MnSOD protein) by the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering and multivariate statistical analysis. We observe the aptamer structure and its evolution during the interaction under different experimental conditions (in air or in buffer). Through the spectral treatment by principal component analysis of a large set of SERS data, we were able to probe the aptamer conformations and orientations relative to the surface assuming that the in-plane nucleoside modes are selectively enhanced. We demonstrate that the aptamer orientation and thus its flexibility rely strongly on the presence of a spacer of 15 thymines and on the experimental conditions with the aptamer lying on the surface in air and standing in the buffer. We reveal for the first time that the interaction with MnSOD induces a large loss of flexibility and freezes the aptamer structure in a single conformation.

Abstract
We report the development of a label-free, simple, and high efficiency breast cancer detection platform with multimodal biomarker analytic algorithms on a portable 785 nm Raman setup with an endoscopic Raman-lensed fiber optic probe. We propose a multimodal biomarker extraction algorithm (PCMA) implemented by combining a multivariate statistics principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm and a multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) computational model for extraction of the biomarker information hidden in Raman spectrochemical data. We show that the six Raman spectrochemical peaks at 1009, 1270, 1305/1443, 1658, and 1750 cm-1 assigned to phenylalanine, amide III in proteins, CH2 deformation in lipids, amide I in proteins, and carbonyl, respectively, can be used as a biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis using the biomarker-dominated PCMA spectrochemical spectra of breast tissues. From 20 human breast tissues, the PCMA-linear discriminant analysis (PCMA-LDA) identification method achieved high classification performance with a sensitivity and specificity >99% along with an improvement of approximately 4.5% compared to the performance without the PCMA mixture analysis algorithm. Our label-free breast cancer detection method has the potential for clinical application to diagnose breast cancer in real-time during surgery.

Abstract
Transparent and flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have attracted much interest for the detection of probe molecules on the curved surfaces of real samples, but a facile route to fabricate such substrates is still lacking. Herein, we present a rationally designed, high-performance flexible SERS substrate fabricated using a simple drop and peel-off technique for the ultrasensitive detection of pesticides. The proposed SERS substrate consists of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) film anchored with plasmonic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), which are photoreduced using chemically patterned ferroelectric templates. The photoreduced Ag NPs extracted onto the PMMA film offer strong electromagnetic enhancement and produce intensive hotspots for the effective enhancement of the Raman signal. They provide superior SERS performance for the detection of parathion (PT) and fenitrothion (FNT) at trace-level concentrations of 10-9 M and 10-10 M with excellent enhancement factors in the order of 108 and 109, respectively. Moreover, the Ag NP/PMMA SERS substrate has good spot-to-spot uniformity and batch-to-batch reproducibility with the reservation of high detection sensitivity even after the mechanical deformation of bending and torsion up to 50 cycles. The multiplex detection ability is also investigated for the simultaneous detection of PT and FNT. To ensure the practical feasibility, the in-situ, real-time detection of PT and FNT on the curved surfaces of tomato and lemon using a fiber-coupled Raman probe is performed with limits of detection of 4.24 × 10-8 M and 2.74 × 10-9 M. The proposed Ag NP/PMMA flexible SERS substrate possesses unique features, such as easy fabrication through a simple, economical, rapid process, and facilitates straightforward implementation of in-situ SERS detection on curved fruit/vegetable surfaces.

Abstract
Waveguide enhanced Raman spectroscopy (WERS) utilizes simple, robust, high-index contrast dielectric waveguides to generate a strong evanescent field, through which laser light interacts with analytes residing on the surface of the waveguide. It offers a powerful tool for the direct identification and reproducible quantification of biochemical species and an alternative to surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) without reliance on fragile noble metal nanostructures. The advent of low-cost laser diodes, compact spectrometers, and recent progress in material engineering, nanofabrication techniques, and software modeling tools have made realizing portable and cheap WERS Raman systems with high sensitivity a realistic possibility. This review highlights the latest progress in WERS technology and summarizes recent demonstrations and applications. Following an introduction to the fundamentals of WERS, the theoretical framework that underpins the WERS principles is presented. The main WERS design considerations are then discussed, and a review of the available approaches for the modification of waveguide surfaces for the attachment of different biorecognition elements is provided. The review concludes by discussing and contrasting the performance of recent WERS implementations, thereby providing a future roadmap of WERS technology where the key opportunities and challenges are highlighted.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 virus is essential to control COVID-19 outbreak. In this study, we propose a promising surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based COVID-19 biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in untreated saliva. The SERS-immune substrate was fabricated by a novel oil/water/oil (O/W/O) three-phase liquid-liquid interfaces self-assembly method, forming two layers of dense and uniform gold nanoparticle films to ensure the reproducibility and sensitivity of SERS immunoassay. The detection was performed by an immunoreaction between the SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody modified SERS-immune substrate, spike antigen protein and Raman reporter-labeled immuno-Ag nanoparticles. This SERS-based biosensor was able to detect the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein at concentrations of 0.77 fg mL−1 in phosphate-buffered saline and 6.07 fg mL−1 in untreated saliva. The designed SERS-based biosensor exhibited excellent specificity and sensitivity for SARS-CoV-2 virus without any sample pretreatment, providing a potential choice for the early diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
The novel coronavirus pandemic has rapidly spread around the world since December 2019. Various techniques have been applied in identification of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 infection including computed tomography imaging, whole genome sequencing, and molecular methods such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This review article discusses the diagnostic methods currently being deployed for the SARS-CoV-2 identification including optical biosensors and point-of-care diagnostics that are on the horizon. These innovative technologies may provide a more accurate, sensitive and rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 to manage the present novel coronavirus outbreak, and could be beneficial in preventing any future epidemics. Furthermore, the use of green synthesized nanomaterials in the optical biosensor devices could leads to sustainable and environmentally-friendly approaches for addressing this crisis.

Abstract
A sensitive and highly reproducible cardiac troponin I (cTnI) immunoassay in human serum is a challenging research goal for researchers studying biosensors because cTnI can undergo proteolysis and various modifications in blood. Furthermore, the reproducible detection of cTnI at very low concentrations is also required for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. Here, we present sensitive and highly reproducible quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunosensors for the detection of cTnI in human serum. The unique features of this study are the use of a pair of capture antibodies that bind to different epitopes of cTnI, and the use of a signal amplification technique that enlarged the size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles using photocatalytic silver staining. Since QCM measures changes in the resonance frequency due to the changes in mass occurring on the sensor surface, it is possible to quantitatively analyze cTnI based on the enormous increase in mass using a sandwich immunoassay and subsequent signal amplification by silver staining. The detection limit of the cTnI immunoassay in human serum without photocatalytic silver staining was 307 pg/ml, but 18 pg/ml in photocatalytic silver staining-mediated signal amplification. Thus, amplifying the signal increased the sensitivity and reproducibility of the cTnI immunoassay in human serum.

Abstract
Melamine-resin microspheres were synthesized at a pH of 4.0 for 20 min and used as silver nanoparticle (AgNP) carriers for surface enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) detection. An acetic acid–treatment reaction was introduced into the fabrication of the final substrate. The SERRS performance of the substrate was effectively optimized by regulating excess formaldehyde and experimental parameters, such as acidity, number of treatments and reaction temperature in the acid-treatment reaction. Based on the SERRS detection, it was declared that a trace amount of oligomers with a certain degree of polymerization is necessary for the construction of SERRS hotspots. In addition, it is important to remove excess oligomers with reference to the synthetic reaction of the polymer materials, given the special role of oligomers and the wide application of polymer materials in SERRS detection.

Abstract
As a rapid and non-destructive biological serum detection method, SERS technology was widely used in the screening and medical diagnosis of various diseases by combining the analysis of serum SERS spectrum and multivariate statistical algorithm. Because of the high complexity of serum components and the variability of SERS spectra, which often resulted in the phenomenon that the SERS spectrum of the same biological serum was significantly different due to the different test conditions. In this experiment, through the dilution treatment of the serum and the systematic test of the serum of all concentration gradients with lasers of wavelength of 785, 633 and 532 nm, the most suitable conditions for detecting the serum were investigated. The experimental results showed that only when the serum is diluted to low concentration (10 ppm), the SERS spectrum with high reproducibility and stability could be obtained, furthermore, the low concentration serum had weak tolerance to laser, and 532 nm laser was not suitable for serum detection. In this paper, a set of test scheme for obtaining highly stable serum SERS spectra was established by using high-performance gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the active substrate of SERS. Through comparative analysis of SERS spectrum of serum of normal people and cervical cancer, the reliability of the established low-concentration serum test program was verified, as well as its great potential advantages in disease screening and diagnosis.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is important for many therapeutic regimens and has particular relevance for anticancer drugs which often have serious effects and whose optimum dosage can vary significantly between different patients. Many of the features of surface enhanced (resonance) Raman spectroscopy (SE(R)RS) suggest it should be very suitable for TDM of anticancer drugs and some initial studies which explore the potential of SE(R)RS for TDM of anticancer drugs have been published. This review brings this work together in an attempt to draw some general observations about key aspects of the approach, including the nature of the substrate used, matrix interference effects and factors governing adsorption of the target molecules onto the enhancing surface. There is now sufficient evidence to suggest that none of these pose real difficulties in the context of TDM. However, some issues, particularly the need to carry out multiplex measurements for TDM of combination therapies, have yet to be addressed.

Abstract
The detection and identification of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), one of the main biomarkers in breast cancer, is crucial for the clinical diagnosis and therapy of the disease. Here, we use a non-destructive approach for detecting and localising ERα expression at the single cell level using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with functionalised gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Antibody functionalised nanotags (ERα-AuNPs) showed excellent biocompatibility and enabled the spatial and temporal understanding of ERα location in breast cancer cell lines with different ERα expression status. Additionally, we developed an approach based on the percentage area of SERS response to qualitatively measure expression level in ERα positive (ERα+) breast cancer cells. Specifically, the calculation of relative SERS response demonstrated that MCF-7 cells (ERα+) exhibited higher nanotag accumulation resulting in a 4.2-times increase in SERS signal area in comparison to SKBR-3 cells (ERα-). These results confirmed the strong targeting effect of ERα-AuNPs towards the ERα receptor. The functionalised ERα-AuNP nanotags were also used to investigate the activity of fulvestrant, the first-in-class approved selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). SERS mapping confirmed that ERα degradation occurred after fulvestrant treatment since a weaker SERS signal, and hence accumulation of nanotags, was observed in MCF-7 cells treated with fulvestrant. Most importantly, a correlation coefficient of 0.9 between the SERS response and the ERα expression level, obtained by western blot, was calculated. These results confirmed the strong relationship between the two approaches and open up the possibilities of using SERS as a tool for the estimation of ERα expression levels, without the requirement of destructive and time-consuming techniques. Therefore, the potential of using SERS as a rapid and sensitive method to understand the activity of SERDs in breast cancer is demonstrated.

Abstract
The primary plant cell wall is a complex matrix composed of interconnected polysaccharides including cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. Changes of this dynamic polysaccharide system play a critical role during plant cell development and differentiation. A better understanding of cell wall architectures can provide insight into the plant cell development. In this study, a Raman spectroscopic imaging approach was developed to visualize the distribution of plant cell wall polysaccharides. In this approach, Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS through self-assembled silver nanoparticles) was combined with Raman labels (4-Aminothiophenol. 4ATP) and targeted enzymatic hydrolysis to improve the sensitivity, specificity, and throughput of the Raman imaging technique, and to reveal the distribution of pectin and its co-localization with xyloglucan inside onion epidermal cell (OEC) wall. This technique significantly decreased the required spectral acquisition time. The resulted Raman spectra showed a high Raman signal. The resulted Raman images successfully revealed and characterized the pectin distribution and its co-localization pattern with xyloglucan in OEC wall.

Abstract
Rapid, quantitative, and sensitive assays for the multiplexed detection of bacterial pathogens are urgently needed for public health. Here, we report the generation of dual-modified phage sensors for the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogenic bacteria. The M13KE phage was dual modified to display the targeting peptide on the minor coat protein pIII (∼5 copies) and the streptavidin-binding (StrB) peptide on the major coat protein pVIII (∼2700 copies). The targeting peptide specifically recognizes the target bacteria, and the StrB peptide acts as the efficient signal amplification and transduction unit upon binding with fluorescently tagged streptavidin. The bright fluorescence emitted from individual target bacteria can be clearly distinguished from the background via both the flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Three different dual-modified phages targeting E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were constructed, and high specificity was verified via a large excess of other non-target bacteria. Using a 40 mL sample volume, the target bacteria detection limit was approximately 102 cells/mL via flow cytometry measurement in the presence of other non-target bacteria. By combining these three dual-modified phages into a cocktail, simultaneous detection and quantification of three target bacterial pathogens was demonstrated with good linearity. The strategy of constructing dual-modified phage represents a promising tool in the detection of bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
We report a series of 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates bearing dicarba-nido-undecaborate ([C2B9H11]1-), [3,3'-iron-bis(1,2-dicarbollide)]- (FESAN, [Fe(C2B9H11)2]2-) or [3,3'-cobalt-bis(1,2-dicarbollide)]- (COSAN, [Co(C2B9H11)2]2-) groups prepared either through the Sonogashira cross-coupling or the CuAAC click reaction. The modified dNXTPs were substrates for KOD XL DNA polymerase in enzymatic synthesis of modified DNA through primer extension (PEX). The nido-carborane- and FESAN-modified nucleotides gave analytically useful oxidation signals in square-wave voltammetry and were used for redox labeling of DNA. The redox-modified DNA probes were prepared by PEX using tailed primers and were hybridized to electrode (gold or glassy carbon) containing capture oligonucleotides. The combination of nido-carborane- and FESAN-linked nucleotides with 7-ferrocenylethynyl-7-deaza-dATP and 7-deaza-dGTP allowed polymerase synthesis of DNA fully modified at all four nucleobases, and each of the redox labels gave four differentiable and ratiometric signals in voltammetry. Thus, the combination of these four redox labels constitutes the first fully orthogonal redox coding of all four canonical nucleobases, which can be used for determination of nucleobase composition of short DNA stretches in one simple PEX experiment with electrochemical readout.

Abstract
Noble metal nanostructures with designed hot spots have been widely investigated as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active substrates, particularly for selective and sensitive detection of protein cancer markers. For specific target recognition and efficient signal amplification, SERS probe design requires a choice of SERS-active nanostructures as well as their controlled functionalization with Raman dyes and target recognition entities such as antibodies. However, the chemical conjugation of antibodies and Raman dyes to SERS substrates has rarely been discussed to date, despite their substantial roles in detection schemes. The interfacial interactions of metal nanostructures with functional ligands during conjugation are known to be strongly influenced by the various chemical and physical properties of the ligands, such as size, molecular weight, surface charge, 3-dimensional structures, and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the design of SERS probes over the last 4 years, focusing on their conjugation chemistry for functionalization. A strong preference for covalent bonding is observed with Raman dyes having simpler molecular structures, whereas more complicated ones are non-covalently adsorbed. Antibodies are both covalently and non-covalently bonded to nanostructures, depending on their activity in the SERS probes. Considering that ligand conjugation is highly important for chemical stability, biocompatibility, and functionality of SERS probes, this review is expected to expand the understanding of their interfacial design, leading to SERS as one of the most promising spectroscopic analytical tools for the early detection of protein cancer markers.

Abstract
Easy-to-use and sensitive quantification of biomarkers has a great significance in disease prediction, diagnosis, and monitoring. Here, we report a biosensor for simple and sensitive biomarker detection based on the strong light scattering (brightness) of superradiative plasmonic nanoantennas. This nanoantenna is constructed using antibody-decorated gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) immobilized onto a gold mirror by the target antigen, forming a nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPOM) configuration. The NPOM produces an order of magnitude stronger light scattering in the red region compared with isolated Au NPs on the dielectric substrate, due to the strong near-field coupling of surface plasmons across the gap between the Au NPs and the gold film. The increased brightness allows one to observe the captured Au NPs with the naked eye using a dark-field optical microscope. The particle density of the Au NPs varies linearly with the concentration of the target antigen over a broad dynamic range from 10-3 to 103 ng mL-1. This dynamic range is three orders of magnitude broader than that obtained from the previous work based on a dark-field optical microscope. The limit of detection is 1 pg mL-1 (6.67 fM), which is three orders of magnitude more sensitive than that obtained in the previous work using similar conditions. The uniform spatial distribution of the Au NPs on the gold film was allowed to quantify biomarkers with a relative standard deviation as small as 1-7%. Biosensing using superradiative NPs can lower the detection limit, simplify, and speed up the detection procedure for biomarker detection.

Abstract
The abnormal expression of some miRNAs is often closely related to the development of tumors. Available detection methods or biosensors that can simultaneously quantify multiple miRNAs in a single sample have rarely been reported. Herein, a novel catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA)-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor array was developed to simultaneously measure multiple miRNAs associated with cancer in one sample. The sensor array with four different sensing units was constructed by immobilizing one of four different hairpin-structured DNA sequence 1 (hp1) onto one of four Au/Ag alloy nanoparticle (AuAgNP)-coated detection wells. When target miRNA is present, the SERS tags, which were prepared by modifying AuAgNPs with a Raman reporter molecule of 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (MPBN) and the related hairpin-structured DNA sequence 2 (hp2), were captured onto the corresponding sensor unit through a repeated specific CHA reaction. This generated many "hot spots" because of interactions between the SERS tags and the AuAgNP layer-coated surface of the sensor, which ultimately produced a strong SERS signal that allowed the detection of target miRNAs with the detection limit of 0.15 pM. Using this SERS sensor array, multiple cancer-associated miRNAs (miR-1246, miR-221, miR-133a, and miR-21) were successfully determined in buffer, serum, and cellular RNA extracts.

Abstract
The existence of contaminants in food poses a serious threat to human health. In recent years, aptamer sensors (aptasensors) have been developed rapidly for the detection of food contaminants because of their high specificity, design flexibility, and high efficiency. However, the development of high-throughput, highly sensitive, on-site, and cost-effective methods for simultaneous detection of food contaminants is still restricted due to multiple signal overlap or mutual interference and cross-reaction between different analytes with similar molecular structures. To overcome these problems, this Review summarizes some effective strategies from the articles published in recent years about multiplexed aptasensors for the simultaneous detection of food contaminants. This work focuses on the application of multiplexed aptasensors to simultaneously detect antibiotics, pathogens, and mycotoxins in food. These aptasensors mainly contain fluorescent aptasensors, electrochemical aptasensors, surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based aptasensors, microfluidic chip aptasensors, and paper-based multiplexed aptasensors. In addition, this Review also covers the application of nucleic acid cycle amplification and nanomaterial amplification strategies to improve the detection sensitivity. Finally, the limitations and challenges in the design of multiplexed aptasensor are also taken into account.

Abstract
This paper mainly presents a facile and cost-effective method to achieve large-scale ZnO nanocap (ZnO NC)-ordered arrays with a controllable amount of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) decorated on their surface. The preparation process includes the construction of polystyrene nanosphere (PS) mask, metal deposition, and annealing process. The Au NPs/ZnO NCs have apparent hierarchical structure. Interestingly, the size and number of Au NPs can be controlled by changing the time of Au deposition and the diameter of PSs. Moreover, the Au NP/ZnO NC arrays can be used as a substrate to detect harmful dye molecules based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, and show ultrahigh sensitivity with a limit of detection (LoD) of 10-10 M for crystal violet (CV) molecules. In addition, the above substrate has achieved reusable detection due to their excellent photocatalytic degradation performance for harmful molecules. The finite difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results have revealed that SERS "hot spots" are almost distributed at the junctions of Au NPs and ZnO NCs. The above results show that the composite substrates have a good prospect in practical applications in the future.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) still faces difficulties in quantitative analysis because of its susceptibility to local optical field variations at plasmonic hotspots in metallo-dielectric nanostructures. Current SERS calibration approaches using Raman tags have inherent limitations due to spatial occupation competition with analyte molecules, spectral interference with analyte Raman peaks, and photodegradation. Herein, we report that plasmon-enhanced electronic Raman scattering (ERS) signals from metal can serve as an internal standard for spatial and temporal calibration of molecular Raman scattering (MRS) signals from analyte molecules at the same hotspots, enabling rigorous quantitative SERS analysis. We observe a linear dependence between ERS and MRS signal intensities upon spatial and temporal variations of excitation optical fields, manifesting the |E|4 enhancements for both ERS and MRS processes at the same hotspots in agreement with our theoretical prediction. Furthermore, we find that the ERS calibration's performance limit can result from orientation variations of analyte molecules at hotspots.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has become a growing ultrasensitive analytical technique to quantify toxic molecules in foodstuffs. Monitoring the levels of chemical contaminants not only ensures food security but also offers a guideline on the production, processing, and risk analysis of consumer's health protection. The objective of this study was to point out the possible challenges associated with the detection of mycotoxins in foodstuffs. Herein, we have discussed briefly as to selectivity, accuracy, precision, robustness, ruggedness, non-specific adsorption (NSA), cross-reactivity (for both label-free and the target analyte capture approaches like the application of antibody, aptamer, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), linear polymer affinity agents and/or specific surface-modified nanomaterials) and their potential solution.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the diseases with high mortality worldwide, so its early diagnosis and treatment have attracted much attention. Due to the advantages of the high sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection, SERS has excellent application value in the diagnosis of HCC. In this paper, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are modified by magnetron sputtering on the surface of polystyrene (PS) templates with spheres of two different diameters. The array of units surrounded by particles is successfully prepared and the SERS performance is characterized. The effect of the gap between AgNPs on plasmon coupling and hot spot distribution is discussed. Finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation is used to verify the electric fields and hot spot distribution of the array. The differences in the concentrations of HCC markers are analyzed by using the change of SERS signal intensity of the array. The whole process proves that the preparation of structures with a strong local electric field to provide highly sensitive SERS signals is a key link in the detection of HCC markers, which is conducive to the diagnosis of HCC and has potential application value in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NP) that exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance play an important role in metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Among the optical biosensors, MEF and SERS stand out to be the most sensitive techniques to detect a wide range of analytes from ions, biomolecules to macromolecules and microorganisms. Particularly, anisotropic metal NPs with strongly enhanced electric field at their sharp corners/edges under a wide range of excitation wavelengths are highly suitable for developing the ultrasensitive plasmon-enhanced biosensors. In this review, we first highlight the reliable methods for the synthesis of anisotropic gold NPs and silver NPs in high yield, as well as their alloys and composites with good control of size and shape. It is followed by the discussion of different sensing mechanisms and recent advances in the MEF and SERS biosensor designs. This includes the review of surface functionalization, bioconjugation and (directed/self) assembly methods as well as the selection/screening of specific biorecognition elements such as aptamers or antibodies for the highly selective bio-detection. The right combinations of metal nanoparticles, biorecognition element and assay design will lead to the successful development of MEF and SERS biosensors targeting different analytes both in-vitro and in-vivo. Finally, the prospects and challenges of metal-enhanced biosensors for future nanomedicine in achieving ultrasensitive and fast medical diagnostics, high-throughput drug discovery as well as effective and reliable theranostic treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) microfluidic chips for label-free and ultrasensitive detection are fabricated by integrating a plasmonic supercrystal within microfluidic channels. This plasmonic platform allows the uniform infiltration of the analytes within the supercrystal, reaching the so-called hot spots. Moreover, state-of-the-art simulations performed using large-scale supercrystal models demonstrate that the excellent SERS response is due to the hierarchical nanoparticle organization, the interparticle separation (IPS), and the presence of supercrystal defects. Proof-of-concept experiments confirm the outstanding performance of the microfluidic chips for the ultradetection of (bio)molecules with no metal affinity. In fact, a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 10-19 M was reached for crystal violet. The SERS microfluidic chips show excellent sensitivity in the direct analysis of pyocyanin secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown in a liquid culture medium. Finally, the further integration of a silica-based column in the plasmonic microchip provides charge-selective SERS capabilities as demonstrated for a mixture of positively and negatively charged molecules.

Abstract
As colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the forms of cancer with the highest prevalence globally and with a high mortality, screening and early detection remains a major issue. Colonoscopy is still the gold standard for detecting premalignant lesions, but it is burdened by some complications. For instance, it is laborious, with some difficulties of acceptance for some patients, and is ultimately an imperfect standard, given that some premalignant lesions or incipient malignancies can be missed by colonoscopic evaluation. In this context, new non-invasive approaches such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based liquid biopsy have gained ground in recent years, showing promising results in oncological pathology diagnosis. These new methods have enabled the detection of subtle molecular profile alterations prior to any macroscopic morphological changes, thus providing a useful tool for early CRC detection. In the present review, we provide a summary of published studies applying SERS in CRC detection, along with our personal experience in using SERS in the diagnosis of different oncological pathologies, including CRC.

Abstract
Monitoring the malignant tumors via cancer biomarkers is very significant process. Nonetheless, the practical clinical applications need selective and sensitive analytical methods/techniques. In this study, a novel sandwich type immunosensor based on surface-enhanced raman scattering (SERS) was presented including 4-mercaptobenzoic acid labeled MoS2 nanoflowers@Au nanoparticles (MoS2 NFs@Au NPs/ MBA) as CEASERS tag and Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles functionalized delaminated Ti3C2Tx MXene (Fe3O4 NPs@Au NPs/d-Ti3C2TX MXene) as SERS magnetic supporting substrate for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection. Especially, the determination of single molecule by using SERS method enables early diagnosis of major diseases. In addition, this technique can be utilized for multiplex analyzes owing to narrow well-resolved peaks. The prepared CEASERS tag and SERS magnetic supporting substrate were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) method, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A linearity of 0.0001-100.0 ng mL-1 was observed with high sensitivity. Finally, sandwich type immunosensor demonstrated good selectivity and stability for target CEA recognition in plasma sample.

Abstract
Developing countries have seen a rise in cancer incidence and are projected to harbor three-quarters of all cancer-related mortality by 2030. While disproportionally affected by the burden of cancer, these regions are ill-equipped to handle the diagnostic caseload. The low number of trained pathologists per capita results in delayed diagnosis and treatment, ultimately contributing to increased mortality rates. To address this issue, we developed a point-of-care (POC) plasmonic assay for direct detection of cancer as an alternative to pathological review. Whereas our assay has general applicability in many cancer diagnoses that involve tissue biopsies, we use head and neck cancer (HNC) as a model system because these tumors are increasingly prevalent in lower-income and underserved regions, due to risk factors such as smoking, drinking, and viral infection. Our method uses surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to detect unique RNA biomarkers from human biopsy samples without the need for complex target amplification machinery (e.g., PCR), making it time and resource-efficient. Unlike previous studies that required target amplification, this work represents a significant advance for HNC diagnosis directly in clinical samples, using only our SERS-based assay for RNA biomarkers. In this study, we tested our assay on 20 clinical samples, demonstrating the accuracy of the method in the diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. We reported sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 97%. Furthermore, we used a handheld Raman device to read the results in order to illustrate the applicability of our method for POC diagnosis of cancer in low-resource settings.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue. In particular, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires urgent attention and early diagnosis. The use of point-of-care diagnostics has resulted in the improved management of cardiovascular disease, but a major drawback is that the performance of POC devices does not rival that of central laboratory tests. Recently, many studies and advances have been made in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), including the development of POC biosensors that utilize this detection method. Here, we present a review of the strengths and limitations of these emerging SERS-based biosensors for AMI diagnosis. The ability of SERS to multiplex sensing against existing POC detection methods are compared and discussed. Furthermore, SERS calibration-free methods that have recently been explored to minimize the inconvenience and eliminate the limitations caused by the limited linear range and interassay differences found in the calibration curves are outlined. In addition, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in SERS techniques to promote multivariate analysis and enhance diagnostic accuracy are discussed. The future prospects for SERS-based POC devices that include wearable POC SERS devices toward predictive, personalized medicine following the Fourth Industrial Revolution are proposed.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the COVID-19 pandemic that has been spreading around the world since December 2019. More than 10 million affected cases and more than half a million deaths have been reported so far, while no vaccine is yet available as a treatment. Considering the global healthcare urgency, several techniques, including whole genome sequencing and computed tomography imaging have been employed for diagnosing infected people. Considerable efforts are also directed at detecting and preventing different modes of community transmission. Among them is the rapid detection of virus presence on different surfaces with which people may come in contact. Detection based on non-contact optical techniques is very helpful in managing the spread of the virus, and to aid in the disinfection of surfaces. Nanomaterial-based methods are proven suitable for rapid detection. Given the immense need for science led innovative solutions, this manuscript critically reviews recent literature to specifically illustrate nano-engineered effective and rapid solutions. In addition, all the different techniques are critically analyzed, compared, and contrasted to identify the most promising methods. Moreover, promising research ideas for high accuracy of detection in trace concentrations, via color change and light-sensitive nanostructures, to assist fingerprint techniques (to identify the virus at the contact surface of the gas and solid phase) are also presented.

Abstract
Molecular specific and highly sensitive detection is the driving force of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) community. The technique opens the window to the undisturbed monitoring of cellular processes in situ or to the quantification of small molecular species that do not deliver Raman signals. The smart design of molecular SERS nanosensors makes it possible to indirectly but specifically detect, e.g. reactive oxygen species, carbon monoxide or potentially toxic metal ions. Detection schemes evolved over the years from simple metallic colloidal nanoparticles functionalized with sensing molecules that show uncontrolled aggregation to complex nanostructures with magnetic properties making the analysis of complex environmental samples possible. The present article gives the readership an overview of the present research advancements in the field of molecular SERS sensors, highlighting future trends.

Abstract
In order to remove the limitations of natural antibodies or enzymes, a nano-magnetic biomimetic platform based on a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor has been developed for highly sensitive capture and detection of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in food and water samples. Magnetic-based molecular imprinted polymer nanoparticles (Mag@MIP NPs) were constructed to capture the target 2,4-D molecule via biomimetic recognition, and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) served as SERS-based probes, which are bound to the Mag@MIP NPs by electrostatic adsorption. The as-prepared SERS-MIP sensor for sensing of 2,4-D achieved a good linear relationship with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.00147 ng/mL within 2 h and exhibited high sensitivity. The sensor was successfully applied to detect 2,4-D in milk and tap water and achieved good recoveries ranging from 93.5 to 102.2%. Moreover, the designed sensor system exhibited satisfactory results (p > 0.05) compared to HPLC by validation analysis. Hence, the findings demonstrated that the proposed method has significant potential for practical application in food safety and environmental protection. Graphical abstract .

Abstract
Antimicrobial stewardship practices are critical in preventing the further erosion of treatment options for bacterial infections. Yet, at the same time, determination of an infection's antimicrobial susceptibility requires multiple rounds of culture and expensive lab automation systems. In this work, we report the use of paper-based surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors and portable instrumentation to phenotypically discriminate multi-drug resistance with fewer culture steps than conventional clinical microbiology. Specifically, we demonstrate the identification of resistance to varying generations of β-lactam antibiotics by detecting the activity of particular β-lactamase enzymes in a multiplexed assay. The method utilizes molecular reporters that consist of β-lactams with SERS barcodes. Hydrolysis of the β-lactam by β-lactamase enzymes in the sample expels the barcode; the released sulfur-containing barcode is then detected via SERS. Using this approach, we demonstrate the differentiation of E. coli strains with (1) extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), (2) narrow-spectrum β-lactamase, and (3) no resistance, using only a single measurement on a single sample. In addition, we experimentally validate an approach to expand the library of reporters through the simple chemical synthesis of new barcoded β-lactams. Importantly, the reported method determines the susceptibility based on phenotypic β-lactamase activity, which is aligned with current microbiology lab standards. This new method will enable the precise selection of effective β-lactam antibiotics (as opposed to defaulting to drugs of last resort) faster than current methods while using simple steps and low-cost portable instrumentation.
