Abstract
Human pancreatic lipase is a symbolic biomarker for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, which has profound significance for clinical detection and disease treatment. Herein, we first demonstrate a paper-based lipase sensor via a phase separation-induced viscosity change. Lipase catalyzes triolein to produce oleic acid and glycerol. Adding an excess of Ca2+ produces calcium oleate. The remaining Ca2+ binds with sodium alginate, triggering hydrogelation with an "egg-box" structure. The viscosity change of the aqueous solution induced by the phase separation process can be quantified by measuring the solution flow distance on a pH test paper. The paper-based lipase sensor has high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.052 U/mL and also shows excellent specificity. Additionally, it is also utilized for quantitative lipase analysis in human serum samples to exhibit its potency in acute pancreatitis detection. This method overcomes the drawbacks of low sensitivity, slow response, and poor reproducibility caused by the nonuniform distribution of the highly viscous hydrogel on the sensing interface in existing approaches. In conclusion, thanks to the prominent characteristics of high portability, low cost, and easy operation, it is prospective for simple quantitative detection of lipase and has great potential for commercialization.

Abstract
The point-of-care (POC) method with affordability and portability for the sensitive detection of biological substances is an emerging topic in rapid disease screening and personalized medicine. In this work, we demonstrated a diverse responsive platform based on a dual-channel pressure sensor (DCPS). The DCPS had a multilayer flexible architecture consisting of a photonic hydrogel with chromatic transitions and a piezoresistive pressure sensor as the electrical data transmission unit, both of which had the property of pressure-induced mechanical stimulus feedback. By incorporating a platinum nanoparticles-labeled detection antibody (PtNPs-dAb) into the sandwich-type immunoreaction for the target carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, as a model analyte), gas decomposition could be triggered by the addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to induce a significant increase under pressure in a closed chamber. Meanwhile, the DCPS enabled an accurate electrical signal output, and the photonic hydrogel converted spatiotemporal stimuli into eye-readable colorations with string brilliance. In this way, the target concentration could be quantificationally related to the electrical response and intuitively perceived through visible color alterations. Under optimal conditions, a sensitive determination of CEA was performed in a detectable range of 0.3-60 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.13 ng/mL. In addition, the proposed protocol had satisfactory selectivity, accuracy, and reproducibility. Furthermore, an array-based immunoassay device was fabricated to conceptually validate its application potential in high-throughput biomedical detection and inspire a dual-signal POC diagnostic platform in a friendly way for resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive point-of-care testing (POCT) is an extremely critical mission in practical applications, especially for rigorous military medicine, home health care, and in the third world. Here, we report a visual POCT method for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection based on Taylor rising in the corner of quadratic geometries between two rod surfaces. We discuss the principle of Taylor rising, demonstrating that it is significantly influenced by contact angle, surface tension, and density of the sample, which are controlled by ATP-dependent rolling circle amplification (RCA). In the presence of ATP, RCA reaction effectively suppresses Taylor-rising behavior, due to the increased contact angle, density, and decreased surface tension. Without addition of ATP, untriggered RCA reaction is favorable for Taylor rising, resulting in a significant height. With this proposed method, visual sensitive detection of ATP without the aid of other instruments is realized with only a 5 μL droplet, which has good selectivity and a low detection limit (17 nM). Importantly, this visual method provides a promising POCT tool for user-friendly molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
Developing smart material systems for performing different tasks in diverse environments remains challenging. Here, we show that by integrating stimuli-responsive soft materials with multi-mode reconfigurable DNA-based chemical reaction circuits (D-CRCs), it can control size change of microgels with multiple reaction pathways and adapt expansion behaviors to meet diverse environments. We first use pH-responsive intramolecular conformational switches for regulating DNA strand displacement reactions (SDRs). The ability to regulate SDRs with tunable pH-dependence allows to build dynamic chemical reaction networks with diverse reaction pathways. We confirm that the designed DNA switching circuits are reconfigurable at different pH and perform different logic operations, and the swelling of DNA switching circuit-integrated microgel systems can be programmably directed by D-CRCs. Our approach provides insight into building smart responsive materials and fabricating autonomous soft robots.

Abstract
The volumetric bar-chart microfluidic chips (V-Chips) driven by chemical reaction-generated gas provide a promising platform for point-of-care (POC) visual biomarker quantitation. However, multiple limitations are encountered in conventional V-Chips, such as costly and complex chip fabrication, complicated chip assembly, and imprecise controllability of gas production. Herein, we introduced nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effects to V-Chips, and for the first time developed a new type of V-Chip, photothermal bar-chart microfluidic chip (PT-Chip), for visual quantitative detection of biochemicals without any bulky and costly analytical instruments. Immunosensing signals were converted to visual readout signals via photothermal effects, the on-chip bar-chart movements, enabling quantitative biomarker detection on a low-cost polymer hybrid PT-Chip with on-chip scale rulers. Four different human serum samples containing a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a model analyte were detected simultaneously using the PT-Chip, with a limit of detection of 2.1 ng/mL, meeting clinical diagnostic requirements. Although no conventional signal detectors were used, it achieved comparable detection sensitivity to absorbance measurements with a microplate reader. The PT-Chip was further validated by testing human whole blood without the color interference problem, demonstrating the good analytical performance of our method even in complex matrices and thus the potential to fill the gap in current clinical diagnostics that is incapable of testing whole blood. This new PT-Chip driven by nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effects opens a new horizon of microfluidic platforms for instrument-free diagnostics at the point-of-care.

Abstract
Chiral optical metamaterials with delicate structures are in high demand in various fields because of their strong light-matter interactions. Recently, a scalable strategy for the synthesis of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) using amino acids and peptides has been reported. Reported herein, 3D chiral gold NPs were synthesized using dipeptide γ-Glu-Cys and Cys-Gly and analyzed crystallographically. The γ-Glu-Cys-directed NPs present a cube-like outline with a protruding chiral wing. In comparison, the NPs synthesized with Cys-Gly exhibited a rhombic dodecahedron-like outline with curved edges and elliptical cavities on each face. Morphology analysis of intermediates indicated that γ-Glu-Cys generated an intermediate concave hexoctahedron morphology, while Cys-Gly formed a concave rhombic dodecahedron. NPs synthesized with Cys-Gly are named 432 helicoid V because of their unique morphology and growth pathway.

Abstract
This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins as functional stimuli-responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with controlled stiffness. Different physical or chemical triggers can be used to structurally reconfigure the crosslinking units and control the stiffness of the hydrogels. The integration of stimuli-responsive supramolecular complexes and stimuli-responsive biomolecular units as crosslinkers leads to hybrid hydrogels undergoing reversible triggered transitions across different stiffness states. Different applications of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogels are discussed. The assembly of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogel films on surfaces and their applications are discussed. The coating of drug-loaded nanoparticles with stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug release is also presented.

Abstract
The biosensors based on aptamer based stimuli-responsive hydrogels have the characters of high specificity, good stability, portability. Electronic balance is one of the most accurate equipment and can be reached nearly in all labs. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is highly toxic and carcinogenic to humans and animals, it is necessary to develop simple and convenient detection method to apply in resource limited area. In this study, a novel strategy for quantitative detection of AFB1 has been developed by combining the high selectivity and convenient of target-responsive hydrogel and the simple of using electronic balance as readout devices. The AFB1 target responsive double crosslinked hydrogel has been constructed using linear hyaluronic acid grafted single-stranded DNA complex as the backbone, AFB1 aptamer and polyethyleneimine as crosslinkers. And platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) had been embedded in the hydrogel firstly. The present of AFB1 can bind with the aptamer with high affinity and cause the releasing of aptamer from hydrogel. The addition of Exo I can specifically recognize and cleave the aptamer in AFB1-aptamer complex, resulting in the releasing of AFB1, which can react with the hydrogel again, thereby achieving the target cycle. By this means, the hydrogel will collapse and many pre-embedded PtNPs can be released. The transferring of the released PtNPs to a drainage device which contains H2O2 can results in the increasing of the internal pressure since the production of oxygen through the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 by PtNPs has low solubility. Which will cause the discharging of water from the system and this can be collected and weighed by an electronic balance easily. The weight of water has a linear relationship with AFB1 concentration. Under 30 min catalytic time, the linear range is 31.2 μg/kg - 6.2 mg/kg with the detection limit of 9.4 μg/kg (S/N = 3). The proposed method was successfully applied to the detection of AFB1 in peanut samples.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking behavior (nanozymes) have attracted a lot of research interest recently. In comparison to natural enzymes, nanozymes hold many advantages, such as good stability, ease of production and surface functionalization. As the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes is gradually revealed, the application fields of nanozymes are also broadly explored. Beyond traditional colorimetric detection assays, nanozymes have been found to hold great potential in a variety of biomedical fields, such as tumor theranostics, antibacterial, antioxidation and bioorthogonal reactions. In this review, we summarize nanozymes consisting of different nanomaterials. In addition, we focus on the catalytic performance of nanozymes in biomedical applications. The prospects and challenges in the practical use of nanozymes are discussed at the end of this Minireview.

Quantitative assessment of disease markers using the naked eye: point-of-care testing with gas generation-based biosensor immunochromatographic strips. J Nanobiotechnology 2019; 17:67.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunochromatographic strips (ICSs) are a practical tool commonly used in point-of-care testing (POCT) applications. However, ICSs that are currently available have low sensitivity and require expensive equipment for quantitative analysis. These limitations prohibit their extensive use in areas where medical resources are scarce. METHODS We developed a novel POCT platform by integrating a gas generation biosensor with Au@Pt Core/Shell nanoparticle (Au@PtNPs)-based ICSs (G-ICSs). The resulting G-ICSs enabled the convenient and quantitative assessment of a target protein using the naked eye, without the need for auxiliary equipment or complicated computation. To assess this platform, C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker commonly used for the diagnosis of acute, infectious diseases was chosen as a proof-of-concept test. RESULTS The linear detection range (LDR) of the G-ICSs for CRP was 0.05-6.25 μg/L with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.041 μg/L. The G-ICSs had higher sensitivity and wider LDR when compared with commonly used AuNPs and fluorescent-based ICSs. When compared with results from a chemiluminescent immunoassay, G-ICS concordance rates for CRP detection in serum samples ranged from 93.72 to 110.99%. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrated that G-ICSs have wide applicability in family diagnosis and community medical institutions, especially in areas with poor medical resources.

Abstract
Peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes offer unique advantages in terms of high stability and low cost over natural peroxidase for applications in bioanalysis, biomedicine, and the treatment of pollution. However, the design of high-efficiency peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes remains a great challenge. In this study, we adopted a structural-design approach through hybridization of cube-CeO2 and Pt nanoparticles to create a new peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme with high efficiency and excellent stability. Relative to pure cube-CeO2 and Pt nanoparticles, the as-hybridized Pt/cube-CeO2 nanocomposites display much improved activities because of the strong metal-support interaction. Meanwhile, the nanocomposites also maintain high catalytic activity after long-term storage and multiple recycling. Based on their excellent properties, Pt/cube-CeO2 nanocomposites were used to construct high-performance colorimetric biosensors for the sensitive detection of metabolites, including H2 O2 and glucose. Our findings highlight opportunities for the development of high-efficiency peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes with potential applications such as diagnostics, biomedicine, and the treatment of pollution.

Abstract
There is a high global demand for sensitive, portable, user-friendly, and cost-effective biosensors. In this work, we introduce a barometer-based biosensor for the detection of a broad range of targets. The device is operated by measuring the pressure change produced by oxygen (O2) generation in a limited chamber using a portable barometer. The design employs core-shell Au@Pt nanoparticles (Au@PtNPs) as the bioassay probe to catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 and the release of O2. As a proof of concept, we developed barometer-based immunosensors to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and ractopamine (Rac). In addition, barometer-based aptasensors for sensitive detection of thrombin and mercury ion (Hg2+) were also developed. In order to facilitate the analysis of results, we have developed smartphone software to calculate, save, and wirelessly trsnsmit the results. Linear detection ranges for detection of CEA, Rac, thrombin, and Hg2+ were 0.025-1.6 ng/mL, 0.0625-4 ng/mL, 4-128 U/L, and 0.25-16 ng/mL, respectively. The detection limit of these four analytes is 0.021 ng/mL, 0.051 ng/mL, 2.4 U/L, and 0.22 ng/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the developed barometer-based biosensors exhibited high specificities for these four analytes. CEA in serum samples, Rac in urine samples, thrombin in serum samples, and Hg2+ in river water samples were measured by the barometer-based biosensors. Obtained results of these targets from barometer-based biosensors were consistent with detection results from traditional methods, indicating that barometer-based biosensors are widely applicable.

Abstract
The detection of nucleic acid biomarkers for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics is currently limited by technical complexity, cost, and time constraints. To overcome these shortcomings, we have combined loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), programmable toehold-mediated strand-exchange signal transduction, and standard pregnancy test strips. The incorporation of an engineered hCG-SNAP fusion reporter protein (human chorionic gonadotropin-O6 -alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase) led to LAMP-to-hCG signal transduction on low-cost, commercially available pregnancy test strips. Our assay reliably detected as few as 20 copies of Ebola virus templates in both human serum and saliva and could be adapted to distinguish a common melanoma-associated SNP allele (BRAF V600E) from the wild-type sequence. The methods described are completely generalizable to many nucleic acid biomarkers, and could be adapted to provide POC diagnostics for a range of pathogens.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are short synthetic DNA or RNA sequences that can bind to a wide range of targets with high affinity and specificity. In recent years, aptamers have attracted increasing research interest due to their unique features of high binding affinity and specificity, small size, excellent chemical stability, easy chemical synthesis, facile modification, and minimal immunogenicity. These properties make aptamers ideal recognition ligands for bioanalysis, disease diagnosis, and cancer therapy. This review highlights the recent progress in aptamer selection and the latest applications of aptamer-based functional probes in the fields of bioanalysis and biomedicine.

Abstract
We report a discovery that personal glucose meters (PGMs) can give a dose-dependent response to nicotinamide coenzymes, such as the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). We have developed methods that take advantage of this discovery to perform one-step homogeneous assays of many non-glucose targets that are difficult to recognize by DNAzymes, aptamers, or antibodies, and without the need for conjugation and multiple steps of sample dilution, separation, or fluid manipulation. The methods are based on the target-induced consumption or production of NADH through cascade enzymatic reactions. Simultaneous monitoring of the glucose and L-lactate levels in human plasma from patients with diabetes is demonstrated and the results are comparable to those from current standard test methods. Since a large number of commercially available enzymatic assay kits utilize NADH in their detection, this discovery will allow the transformation of almost all of these clinical lab tests into POC tests that use a PGM.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate that a very familiar, yet underutilized, physical parameter—gas pressure—can serve as signal readout for highly sensitive bioanalysis. Integration of a catalyzed gas-generation reaction with a molecular recognition component leads to significant pressure changes, which can be measured with high sensitivity using a low-cost and portable pressure meter. This new signaling strategy opens up a new way for simple, portable, yet highly sensitive biomedical analysis in a variety of settings.

Abstract
A supramolecular double network hydrogel is presented by physical interpenetration of DNA and cucurbit[8]uril networks. In addition to exhibiting an increase in strength and thermal stability, the double network hydrogel possesses excellent properties such as stretchability, ductility, shear-thinning, and thixotropy. Moreover, it is enzymatically responsive to both nuclease and cellulase, as well as small molecules, showing great potential as a new soft material scaffold.
