Abstract
We report a new enzyme-free electrochemical sensor for ultrasensitive measurements of protein biomarkers in plasma and whole blood samples based on a unique electrochemical-chemical-chemical (ECC) redox cycling signal amplification scheme. This scheme uses methylene blue (MB) as a redox indicator which undergoes an endergonic reaction with Ru(NH3)63+ and a highly exergonic reaction with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP). This approach offers improved detection sensitivity and sensor stability compared with enzyme-based ECC redox cycling techniques, while involving a simpler sensor modification process and detection protocol. This redox cycling scheme was combined with a robust immunosandwich assay for quantitative measurements of protein biomarkers. For proof of principle, Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) was measured in human plasma and whole blood samples, which could be detected down to 10 fg mL-1 and 18 fg mL-1, respectively. Furthermore, this immunosensor exhibits high selectivity, excellent reproducibility and good stability for up to 2 weeks, making it a promising platform for point-of-care testing, especially for detecting extremely low biomarker concentrations in raw biofluids.

Abstract
Monitoring telomerase activity with high sensitive and reliable is of great importance to cancer analysis. In this paper, we report a sensitive and facile method to detect telomerase activity using AIEgens modified probe (TPE-Py-DNA) as a fluorescence reporter and exonuclease III (Exo III) as a signal amplifier. With the aid of telomerase, repeat units (TTAGGG)n are extended from the end of template substrate oligonucleotides (TS primer) that form duplex DNAs with TPE-Py-DNA. Then, Exo III catalyzes the digestion of duplex DNAs, liberating elongation product and releasing hydrophobic TPE-Py. The released hydrophobic TPE-Py aggregate together and produce a telomerase-activity-related fluorescence signal. The liberated product hybridizes with another TPE-Py-DNA probe, starting the second cycle. Finally, we obtain the target-to-signal amplification ratio of 1:N2. This strategy exhibits good performance for detecting clinical urine samples (distinguishing 15 cancer patients' samples from 8 healthy ones) and checking intracellular telomerase activity (differentiating cell lines including HeLa, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, A375, HLF and MRC-5 from the cells pretreated with telomerase-related drug), which shows its potential in clinical diagnosis as well as therapeutic monitoring of cancer.

Abstract
Telomerase plays a significantly important role in keeping the telomere length of a chromosome. Telomerase overexpresses in nearly all tumor cells, suggesting that telomerase could be not only a promising biomarker but also a potential therapeutic target for cancers. Therefore, numerous efforts focusing on the detection of telomerase activity have been reported from polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assays to PCR-free assays such as isothermal amplification in recent decade. In this review, we highlight the strategies for the detection of telomerase activity using isothermal amplification and discuss some of the challenges in designing future telomerase assays as well.

Abstract
The strong correlation between cancer and telomerase activity has inspired the development of new strategies to evaluate telomerase activity. Here, a personal glucose meter (PGM) system that uses DNA-based machine amplification to detect telomerase in cancer cells is reported. In this assay, telomerase elongation products are amplified in the form of another type of product by a DNA-based machine. This process can only be activated by the hybridization of the extended telomerase substrate (TS) probe and the complementary primer in the presence of telomerase. The obtained products are then transformed to glucose-related signals via a three-component assay, which enables the simple use of a PGM to indirectly quantify the telomerase activity. The proposed method realizes sensitive telomerase activity detection down to 20 HeLa cells with a significantly enhanced dynamic range. Additionally, short telomerase elongation products, such as telomerase substrate probes with two repetitive sequences, that cannot be detected using the most widely used telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay were detected.

Abstract
As a biomarker for early cancer diagnosis, telomerase are one of the promising targets for cancer therapeutics. Inspired by the fluorescent emission principle of aggregation-induced emission fluorogens, we creatively designed an AIE-based turn-on method to detect telomerase activity from cell extracts. A positively charged fluorogen (TPE-Z) is not fluorescent when freely diffused in solution. The fluorescence of TPE-Z is enhanced with the elongation of the DNA strand which could light up telomere elongation process. By exploitation of it, we can detect telomerase activity from different cell lines (E-J, HeLa, MCF-7, and HLF) with high sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, our method is successfully employed to demonstrate the applications in bladder cancer diagnosis (41 urine specimens from bladder cancer patients and 15 urine specimens from normal people are detected). The AIE-based method provides a simple one-pot technique for quantification and monitoring of the telomerase activity and shows great potential for future use in clinical tests.
