Abstract
Currently, the nanofluidic synapse can only perform basic neuromorphic pulse patterns. One immediate problem that needs to be addressed to further its capability of brain-like computing is the realization of a nanofluidic spiking device. Here, we report the use of a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate membrane to achieve bionic ionic current-induced spiking. In addition to the simulation of various electrical pulse patterns, our synapse could produce transmembrane ionic current-induced spiking, which is highly analogous to biological action potentials with similar phases and excitability. Moreover, the spiking properties could be modulated by ions and neurochemicals. We expect that this work could contribute to biomimetic spiking computing in solution.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 253:116173. [PMID: 38432075 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Since the emergence of single-cell electroanalysis, the two-electrode system has become the predominant electrochemical system for real-time behavioral analysis of single-cell and multicellular populations. However, due to the transmembrane placement of the two electrodes, cellular activities can be interrupted by the transmembrane potentials, and the test results are susceptible to influences from factors such as intracellular solution, membrane, and bulk solution. These limitations impede the advancement of single-cell analysis. Here, we propose a highly miniaturized and integrated in situ self-referenced intracellular two-electrode system (IS-SRITES), wherein both the working and reference electrodes are positioned inside the cell. Additionally, we demonstrated the stability (0.28 mV/h) of the solid-contact in situ Ag/AgCl reference electrode and the ability of the system to conduct standard electrochemical testing in a wide pH range (pH 6.0-8.0). Cell experiments confirmed the non-destructive performance of the electrode system towards cells and its capacity for real-time monitoring of intra- and extracellular pH values. Moreover, through equivalent circuits, finite element simulations, and drug delivery experiments, we illustrated that the IS-SRITES can yield more accurate test results and exhibit enhanced resistance to interference from the extracellular environment. Our proposed system holds the potential to enable the precise detection of intracellular substances and optimize the existing model of the electrode system for intracellular signal detection, thereby spearheading advancements in single-cell analysis.

Abstract
The construction of gating system in artificial channels is a cutting-edge research direction in understanding biological process and application sensing. Here, by mimicking the gating system, we report a device that easily synthesized single-glass micropipettes functionalized by three-dimensional (3D) DNA network, which triggers the gating mechanism for the detection of biomolecules. Based on this strategy, the gating mechanism shows that single-glass micropipette assembled 3D DNA network is in the "OFF" state, and after collapsing in the presence of ATP, they are in the "ON" state, at which point they exhibit asymmetric response times. In the "ON" process of the gating mechanism, the ascorbic acid phosphate (AAP) can be encapsulated by a 3D DNA network and released in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which initiates a catalyzed cascade reaction under the influence of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Ultimately, the detection of ALP can be responded to form the fluorescence signal generated by terephthalic acid that has captured hydroxyl radicals, which has a detection range of 0-250 mU/mL and a limit of detection of 50 mU/mL. This work provides a brand-new way and application direction for research of gating mechanism.

Abstract
The identification of a specific tumor cell is crucial for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, it remains a challenge due to the limited sensitivity and accuracy, long response time, and low contrast of the recent approaches. In this study, we develop a dual miRNA-triggered DNA walker (DMTDW) assisted by APE1 for the specific recognition of tumor cells. miR-10b and miR-155 were selected as the research models. Without miR-10b and miR-155 presence, the DNA walker remains inactive as its walking strand of W is locked by L1 and L2. After miR-10b and miR-155 are input, the DNA walker is triggered as miR-10b and miR-155 bind to L1 and L2 of W-L1-L2, respectively, unlocking W. The DNA walker is driven by endogenous APE1 that is highly catalytic and is highly expressed in the cytoplasm of tumor cells but barely expressed in normal cells, ensuring high contrast and reaction efficiency for specific recognition of tumor cells. Dual miRNA input is required to trigger the DNA walker, making this strategy with a high accuracy. The DMTDW strategy exhibited high sensitivity for miRNA analysis with a detection limit of 44.05 pM. Living cell-imaging experiments confirmed that the DMTDW could effectively respond to the fluctuation of miRNA and specifically identified MDA-MB-231 cells from different cell lines. The proposed DMTDW is sensitive, rapid, and accurate for specific tumor cell recognition. We believe that the DMTDW strategy can become a powerful diagnostic tool for the specific recognition of tumor cells.

Abstract
Organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) has shown substantial potential in the development of next-generation bioanalysis yet is limited by the either-or situation between the photoelectrode types and the channel types. Inspired by the dual-photoelectrode systems, we propose a new architecture of dual-engine OPECT for enhanced signal modulation and its biosensing application. Exemplified by incorporating the CdS/Bi2S3 photoanode and Cu2O photocathode within the gate-source circuit of Ag/AgCl-gated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) channel, the device shows enhanced modulation capability and larger transconductance (gm) against the single-photoelectrode ones. Moreover, the light irritation upon the device effectively shifts the peak value of gm to zero gate voltage without degradation and generates larger current steps that are advantageous for the sensitive bioanalysis. Based on the as-developed dual-photoelectrode OPECT, target-mediated recycling and etching reactions are designed upon the CdS/Bi2S3, which could result in dual signal amplification and realize the sensitive microRNA-155 biodetection with a linear range from 1 fM to 100 pM and a lower detection limit of 0.12 fM.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA), a catecholamine neurotransmitter, is crucial in brain signal transmission. Monitoring cytoplasmic DA levels can reflect changes in metabolic factors and provide valuable information for researching the mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the in-situ detection of intracellular DA is constrained by its low contents in small-sized single cells. In this work, we report that noble metal (Au, Pt)-modified carbon fiber micro-nanoelectrodes are capable of real-time detection of DA in single cells with excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and anti-contamination capabilities. Notably, noble metals can be modified on the electrode surface through electrochemical deposition to enhance the conductivity of the electrode and the oxidation current of DA by 50 %. The nanosensors can work stably and continuously in rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) to monitor changes in DA levels upon K+ stimulation. The functionalized carbon fibers based nanosensors will provide excellent prospects for DA analysis in the brains of living animals.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is a chronic and severe syndrome for which effective therapy is insufficient and the release of ATP from microglia induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays a vital role in neuropathic pain. Therefore, there is an urgent demand to develop highly sensitive and selective ATP biosensors for quantitative monitoring of low-concentration ATP in the complex nervous system, which helps in understanding the mechanism involved in neuropathic pain. Herein, we developed an electrochemical microsensor based on an entropy-driven bipedal DNA walker. First, the microsensor specifically recognized ATP via ATP aptamers, initiating the entropy-driven bipedal DNA walker. Subsequently, the bipedal DNA walker autonomously traversed the microelectrode interface, introducing methylene blue to the electrode surface and achieving cascade signal amplification. This microsensor showed excellent selectivity, stability, and a low limit of detection at 1.13 nM. The S1P-induced ATP release from BV2 cells was successfully monitored, and it was observed that dicumarol could inhibit this release, suggesting dicumarol as a potential treatment for neuropathic pain. The microsensor's small size exhibited significant potential for monitoring ATP level changes in neuropathic pain in vivo, which provides a new strategy for in situ and quantitative monitoring of nonelectroactive biomolecules associated with neurological diseases.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is regarded as the "energy currency" in living cells, so real-time quantification of content variation of intracellular ATP is highly desired for understanding some important physiological processes. Due to its single-molecule readout ability, nanopipette sensing has emerged as a powerful technique for molecular sensing. In this study, based on the effect of targeting-aptamer binding on ionic current, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), we reported a dual-signal readout nanopipette sensing system for monitoring ATP content variation at the subcellular level. In the presence of ATP, the complementary DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (cDNAs-AuNPs) were released from the inner wall of the nanopipette, which leads to sensitive response variations in ionic current rectification and fluorescence intensity. The developed nanopipette sensor was capable of detecting ATP in single cells, and the fluctuation of ATP content in the differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) was further quantified with this method. The study provides a more reliable nanopipette sensing platform due to the introduction of fluorescence readout signals. Significantly, the study of energy fluctuation during cell differentiation from the perspective of energy metabolism is helpful for differentiation regulation and cell therapy.

Abstract
MicroRNA detection is crucial for early infectious disease diagnosis and rapid cancer screening. However, conventional techniques like reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, requiring specialized training and intricate procedures, are less suitable for point-of-care analyses. To address this, we've developed a straightforward amplifier based on an exonuclease III (exo III)-propelled DNAzyme walker for sensitive and selective microRNA detection. This amplifier employs a specially designed hairpin probe with two exposed segments for strand recognition. Once the target microRNA is identified by the hairpin's extended single-strand DNA, exo III initiates its digestion, allowing microRNA regeneration and subsequent hairpin probe digestion cycles. This cyclical process produces a significant amount of DNAzyme, leading to a marked reduction in electrochemical signals. The biosensor exhibits a detection range from 10 fM to 100 pM and achieves a detection limit of 5 fM (3σ criterion). Importantly, by integrating an "And logic gate," our system gains the capacity for simultaneous diagnosis of multiple microRNAs, enhancing its applicability in RNA-based disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Herein, the first iontronic photoelectrochemical (PEC) biorecognition probing is devised by rational engineering of a dual-functional bioconjugate, i.e., a light-sensitive intercalated structural DNA, as a smart gating module confined within a nanotip, which could respond to both the incident light and biotargets of interest. Light stimulation of the bioconjugate could intensify the negative charge at the nano-orifice to sustain enhanced ionic current. The presence of proteins (e.g., acetylcholinesterase, AChE) or nucleic acids (e.g., microRNA (miR)-10b) could lead to bioconjugate release with altered ionic signaling. The practical applicability of the methodology is confirmed by AChE detection in human serum and miR-10b detection in single cells.

Abstract
Direct single-cell caspase-3 (Casp-3) analysis has remained challenging. A study of single-cell Casp-3 could contribute to revealing the fundamental pathogenic mechanisms in Casp-3-associated diseases. Here, a biomimetic nanochannel capable of single-cell sampling and ionic detection of intracellular Casp-3 is devised, which is established upon the installment of target-specific organic molecules (luc-DEVD) within the orifice of a glass nanopipette. The specific cleavage of luc-DEVD by Casp-3 could induce changes of inner-surface chemical groups and charge properties, thus altering the ionic response of the biomimetic nanochannel for direct Casp-3 detection. The practical applicability of this biomimetic nanochannel is confirmed by probing intracellular Casp-3 fluctuation upon drug stimulation and quantifying the Casp-3 evolution during induced apoptosis. This work realizes ionic single-cell Casp-3 analysis and provides a different perspective for single-cell protein analysis.

Abstract
Developing nanoscale ratiometric techniques capable of biochemical response should prove of significance for precise applications with stringent spatial and biological restrictions. Here we present and devise the concept of θ-nanopore ratiometry, which uses ratiometric signals that could well address the serious concerns about device deviation in fabrication and nonspecific adsorption in the detection. As exemplified by a 200 nm θ-nanopore toward miRNA detection, the ±20 nm aperture drift could be mitigated and the issue of nonspecific adsorption could be minimized in the complex cytosolic environment. Practical application of this θ-nanopore ratiometry realizes the measurements of cytosolic miRNA-10b. This work has not only established a nanoscopic ratiometric technique but also enriched the extant armory of nanotools for single-cell studies and beyond.

Abstract
The profiling of multiple glycans on a single cell is important for elucidating glycosylation mechanisms and accurately identifying disease states. Herein, we developed a closed bipolar electrode (BPE) array chip for live single-cell trapping and in situ galactose and sialic acid detection with the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method. Methylene blue-DNA (MB-DNA) as well as biotin-DNA (Bio-DNA) codecorated AuNPs were prepared as nanoprobes, which were selectively labeled on the cell surface through chemoselective labeling techniques. The individual cell was captured and labeled in the microtrap of the cathodic chamber, under an appropriate potential, MB molecules on the cellular membrane underwent oxidation, triggering the reduction of [Ru(bpy)3]2+/TPA and consequently generating ECL signals in the anodic chamber. The abundance of MB groups on the single cell enabled selective monitoring of both sialic acid and galactosyl groups with high sensitivity using ECL. The sialic acid and galactosyl content per HepG2 cell were detected to be 0.66 and 0.82 fmol, respectively. Through comprehensive evaluation of these two types of glycans on a single cell, tumor cells, and normal cells could be effectively discriminated and the accuracy of single-cell heterogeneous analysis was improved. Additionally, dynamic monitoring of variations in galactosyl groups on the surface of the single cell was also achieved. This work introduced a straightforward and convenient approach for heterogeneity analysis among single cells.

Abstract
This work presents a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas-nanopipette nano-electrochemistry (Cas = CRISPR-associated proteins) capable of ultrasensitive microRNA detection. Nanoconfinement of the CRISPR/Cas13a within a nanopipette leads to a high catalytic efficacy of ca. 169 times higher than that in bulk electrolyte, contributing to the amplified electrochemical responses. CRISPR/Cas13a-enabled detection of representative microRNA-25 achieves a low limit of detection down to 10 aM. Practical application of this method is further demonstrated for single-cell and real human serum detection. Its general applicability is validated by addressing microRNA-141 and the SARS-CoV-2 RNA gene fragment. This work introduces a new CRISPR/Cas-empowered nanotechnology for ultrasensitive nano-electrochemistry and bioanalysis.

Abstract
A facile and signal-on photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing strategy was designed based on hypotoxic Cu2ZnSnS4 NPs nanoparticles (NPs) and biofunctionalized Fe3O4 NPs that integrated recognition units with signal elements, without the need for immobilization of probes on the electrode. Cu2ZnSnS4 NPs were used as the PEC substrate to produce intensive and stable photocurrent. The porous magnetic Fe3O4 NPs displayed favorable loading capacity for CdS QDs and easy biofunctionalization by negatively charged capture DNA (cDNA). cDNA sealed the pore of Fe3O4 NPs, avoiding the escape of CdS QDs as a PEC sensitizer. After hybridizing with target microRNA (miRNA), cDNA split away off Fe3O4 NPs whose porous channel might open and release sealed CdS QDs (signal element), resulting in a dramatical enhancement of PEC response. Herein, miRNA hardly contacted with CdS QDs, effectively avoiding harm to the target miRNA. This proposed strategy simplified procedures of assembly and made the biorecognition process sufficient for promoting a stationary quantity of probes, which was expected to obtain satisfactory performance for bioassay. Using miRNA-155 as a model analyte and combining with duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted amplification, a simplified and signal-on PEC biosensing platform for miRNA-155 with wonderful performance was proposed. DSN-assisted amplification further promoted PEC signal increment, leading to ulteriorly improving sensitivity (detection limit of 0.17 fM) and linear range (6.5 orders of magnitude) for miRNA-155 assay. Moreover, the developed PEC biosensing platform exhibited satisfactory stability, excellent specificity, and favorable accuracy for miRNA-155, which would have a promising prospect for monitoring miRNA expression in tumor cells.

Abstract
Cellular heterogeneity, especially in some important diseased cells like tumor cells, acts as an invisible driver for disease development like cancer progression in the tumor ecosystem, contributing to differences in the macroscopic and microscopic detection of disease lesions like tumors. Traditional analysis techniques choose group information masked by the mean as the analysis sample, making it difficult to achieve precise diagnosis and target treatment, on which could be shed light via the single-cell level determination/bioanalysis. Hence, in this article we have reviewed the special characteristic differences among various kinds of typical single-cell bioanalysis strategies and electrochemical techniques, and then focused on the recent advance and special bio-applications of electrochemiluminescence and micro-nano electrochemical sensing mediated in single-cell bioimaging & bioanalysis. Especially, we have summarized the relevant research exploration of the possibility to establish the in-situ single-cell electrochemical methods to detect cell heterogeneity through determination of specific biomolecules and bioimaging of some important biological processes. Eventually, this review has explored some important advances of electrochemical single-cell detection techniques for the real-time cellular bioimaging and diagnostics of some disease lesions like tumors. It raises the possibility to provide the specific in-situ platform to exploit the versatile, sensitive, and high-resolution electrochemical single-cell analysis for the promising biomedical applications like rapid tracing of some disease lesions or in vivo bioimaging for precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Rapid, simultaneous, and sensitive detection of biomolecules has important application prospects in disease diagnosis and biomedical research. However, because the content of intracellular endogenous target biomolecules is usually very low, traditional detection methods can't be used for effective detection and imaging, and to enhance the detection sensitivity, signal amplification strategies are frequently required. The hybridization chain reaction (HCR) has been used to detect many disease biomarkers because of its simple operation, good reproducibility, and no enzyme involvement. Although HCR signal amplification methods have been employed to detect and image intracellular biomolecules, there are still false positive signals. Therefore, a target-triggered enzyme-free amplification system (GHCR system) was developed, as a fluorescent AND-gated sensing platform for intracellular target probing. The false positive signals can be well avoided and the accuracy of detection and imaging can be improved by using the design of the AND gate. Two cancer markers, GSH and miR-1246, were used as two orthogonal inputs for the AND gated probe. The AND-gated probe only works when GSH and miR-1246 are the inputs at the same time, and FRET signals can be the output. In addition to the use of AND-gated imaging, FRET-based high-precision ratiometric fluorescence imaging was employed. FRET-based ratiometric fluorescent probes have a higher ability to resist interference from the intracellular environment, they can avoid false positive signals well, and they are expected to have good specificity. Due to the advantages of HCR, AND-gated, and FRET fluorescent probes, the GHCR system exhibited highly efficient AND-gated FRET bioimaging for intracellular endogenous miRNAs with a lower detection limit of 18 pM, which benefits the applications of ratiometric intracellular biosensing and bioimaging and offers a novel concept for advancing the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies in the field of cancer.

[PMID: 37660458 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Enzyme-free hybridization chain reaction (HCR) technology is often used as a signal amplification tool for the detection of different targets. In this study, an ultrasensitive and label-free method for detecting miRNA-21 was developed using the nanopore ionic current rectification (ICR) technology coupled with HCR technology. The probe oligonucleotide (DNA1) was combined with the gold-coated nanopore through the Au-S bond to form a DNA1-functionalized gold-coated nanopore (DNA1-Au-coated nanopore). Since miRNA-21 is partially complementary to DNA1, it can be selectively recognized by DNA1-functionalized gold-coated nanopores. The target (miRNA-21) can induce the opening of hairpin DNA and HCR reaction after the introduction of hairpin DNA H1 and H2. The concentration of miRNA-21 will affect the combination of H1 and H2 on the inner wall of the nanopore, and its surface charge will change with the internal modification, thereby changing the ion current rectification ratio. Under the condition that the concentration of H1, H2 and HCR reaction time are constant, the change of ICR ratio is linearly correlated with the logarithm of miRNA-21 concentration within a certain range, which shows that the sensing strategy we designed can achieve target miRNA-21 detection. This ultrasensitive miRNA holds great promise in the field of cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Cell heterogeneity poses a formidable challenge for tumor theranostics, requiring high-resolution strategies for intercellular bioanalysis between single cells. Nanoelectrode-based electrochemical analysis has attracted much attention due to its advantages of label-free characteristics, relatively low cost, and ultra-high resolution for single-cell analysis. Here, we have designed and developed a subcellular biolabeling and bioresponsive real-time monitoring strategy for precise bioimaging-guided cancer diagnosis and theranostics. Our observations revealed the apparent intracellular migration of biosynthetic Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) at different subcellular locations, i.e., from the mitochondria to the mitochondrion-free region in the cytoplasm, which may be helpful for controlling over the biosynthesis of Au NCs. Considering the precise biolabeling advantage of the intracellular biosynthetic Au NCs for biomedical imaging of cancers, it is important to realize the biosynthetic Au NC-enabled precise control in real-time theranostics of cancer cells. Therefore, this work raises the possibility to achieve subcellular monitoring of H2O2 for targeting cancer theranostics, thereby providing a new way to explore the underlying mechanism and imaging-guided tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Functional nucleic acid (FNA) probes have been widely used in environmental monitoring, food analysis, clinical diagnosis, and biological imaging because of their easy synthesis, functional modification, flexible design, and stable properties. However, most FNA probes are designed based on one-photon (OP) in the ultraviolet or visible regions, and the effectiveness of these OP-based FNA probes may be hindered by certain factors, such as their potential for photodamage and limited light tissue penetration. Two-photon (TP) is characterized by the nonlinear absorption of two relatively low-energy photons of near-infrared (NIR) light with the resulting emission of high-energy ultraviolet or visible light. TP-based FNA probes have excellent properties, including lower tissue self-absorption and autofluorescence, reduced photodamage and photobleaching, and higher spatial resolution, making them more advantageous than the conventional OP-based FNA probes in biomedical sensing. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of TP-excited and -activated FNA probes and detail their applications in biomolecular detection. In addition, we also share our views on the highlights and limitations of TP-based FNA probes. The ultimate goal is to provide design approaches for the development of high-performance TP-based FNA probes, thereby promoting their biological applications.

Abstract
Nanopipette, which is fabricated by glasses and possesses a nanoscale pore in the tip, has been proven to be immensely useful in electrochemical analysis. Numerous nanopipette-based sensors have emerged with improved sensitivity, selectivity, ease of use, and miniaturization. In this minireview, we provide an overview of the recent developments of nanopipette-based electrochemical sensors based on different types of nanopipettes, including single-nanopipettes, self-referenced nanopipettes, dual-nanopipettes, and double-barrel nanopipettes. Several important modification materials for nanopipette functionalization are highlighted, such as conductive materials, macromolecular materials, and functional molecules. These materials can improve the sensing performance and targeting specificities of nanopipettes. We also discuss examples of related applications and the future development of nanopipette-based strategies.

Abstract
Disulfide bonds exist widely in channel protein and play an essential role in matter exchange and signal transduction (e.g., rhodopsin, canonical transient receptor potential 5 (TRPC5)). The research on disulfide bond in nanochannel is significant for the cognition of their biological functions. However, the fragility of biological channel limits the in-situ study and practical application. Herein, an innovative biologically-inspired artificial nanochannel based on disulfide bond (NCDS) with excellent durability, adjustable surface property is proposed. The constructed NCDS has a multi-response to UV-light, thiol (e.g., cysteine (Cys)) or pH stimulation, and can obtain reversibility after regulation by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or H+. The biomimetic NCDS shows great potential in biosensor and intelligent response design. This study also shines new light to channel protein based on disulfide bond that despite the nanochannel has specificity, it will be modulated by the change of nature environment, such as UV-light and chemical microenvironment (e.g., redox state and pH), which might be the reason of some disease.

Abstract
Conventional nucleic acid detection technologies usually rely on amplification to improve sensitivity, which has drawbacks, such as amplification bias, complicated operation, high requirements for complex instruments, and aerosol pollution. To address these concerns, we developed an integrated assay for the enrichment and single molecule digital detection of nucleic acid based on a CRISPR/Cas13a and microwell array. In our design, magnetic beads capture and concentrate the target from a large volume of sample, which is 100 times larger than reported earlier. The target-induced CRISPR/Cas13a cutting reaction was then dispersed and limited to a million individual femtoliter-sized microwells, thereby enhancing the local signal intensity to achieve single-molecule detection. The limit of this assay for amplification-free detection of SARS-CoV-2 is 2 aM. The implementation of this study will establish a "sample-in-answer-out" single-RNA detection technology without amplification and improve the sensitivity and specificity while shortening the detection time. This research has broad prospects in clinical application.

Abstract
Single-cell protein therapeutics is expected to promote our in-depth understanding of how a specific protein with a therapeutic dosage treats the cell without population averaging. However, it has not yet been tackled by current single-cell nanotools. We address this challenge by the use of a double-barrel nanopipette, in which one lumen was used for electroosmotic cytosolic protein delivery and the other was customized for ionic evaluation of the consequence. Upon injection of protein DJ-1 through the delivery lumen, upregulation of the antioxidant protein could protect neural PC-12 cells against oxidative stress from phorbol myristate acetate exposure, as deduced by targeting of the cytosolic hydrogen peroxide by the detecting lumen. The nanotool developed in this study for single-cell protein therapeutics provides a perspective for future single-cell therapeutics involving different therapeutic modalities, such as peptides, enzymes and nucleic acids.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapeutic strategies play an important role in cancer treatment. However, in situ, real-time and quantitative analysis of intracellular ROS in cancer treatment for drug screening is still a challenge. Herein we report one selective hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) electrochemical nanosensor, which is prepared by electrodeposition of Prussian blue (PB) and polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) onto carbon fiber nanoelectrode. With the nanosensor, we find that the level of intracellular H2 O2 increases with NADH treatment and that increase is dose-dependent to the concentration of NADH. High-dose of NADH (above 10 mM) can induce cell death and intratumoral injection of NADH is validated for inhibiting tumor growth in mice. This study highlights the potential of electrochemical nanosensor for tracking and understanding the role of H2 O2 in screening new anticancer drug.

Abstract
Organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) bioanalytics has recently appeared as a promising route for biological measurements, which has major implications in both next-generation photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis and futuristic biorelated implementations. Via biological dissociation of materials, bioetching is a useful technique for bio-manufacturing and bioanalysis. The intersection of these two domains is expected to be a possible way to achieve innovative OPECT bioanalytics. Herein, we validate such a possibility, which is exemplified by alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-mediated bioetching of a CoOOH/BiVO4 gate for a signal-on OPECT immunoassay of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG) as the model target. Specifically, target-dependent bioetching of the upper CoOOH layer could result into an enhanced electrolyte contact and light accessibility to BiVO4, leading to the modulated response of the polymeric poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) channel that could be monitored by the channel current. The introduced biosensor achieves sensitive detection of HIgG with high selectivity and sensitivity. This work features bioetching-enabled high-efficacy OPECT bioanalysis and is anticipated to serve as a generic protocol, considering the diverse bioetching routes.

Abstract
Single-cell interrogation with the solid-state nanoprobes enables understanding of the linkage between cellular behavior and heterogeneity. Herein, inspired by the charge property of the organic molecular probe (OMP), a generic ionic current rectification (ICR) single-cell methodology is established, exemplified by subcellular detection of glutathione (GSH) with high selectivity, sensitivity, and recyclability. The as-developed nanosensor can transduce the subcellular OMP-GSH interaction via a sensitive ionic response, which stems from the superior specificity of OMP and its essential charge property. In addition, the nanosensor exhibits good reversibility, since the subsequent tandem reaction after the recognition can well recover the sensing surface. Given the diverse structures and tailorable charge properties of OMP, this work underpins a new and general method of OMP-based ICR single-cell analysis.

Abstract
The use of double-barreled nanopipette (θ-nanopipette) to electrically sample, manipulate, or detect biomaterials has recently seen strong growth in single-cell studies, driven by the potential of the nanodevices and applications that they may enable. Considering the pivotal roles of Na/K ratio (RNa/K) at cellular level, herein we describe an engineered θ-nanopipette for measuring single-cell RNa/K. The two independently addressable nanopores, located within one nanotip, allow respective customization of functional nucleic acids but simultaneous deciphering of Na and K levels inside a single cell of a non-Faradic manner. Two ionic current rectification signals, corresponding to the Na- and K-specific smart DNA responses, could be easily used to derive the RNa/K. The applicability of this nanotool is validated by practical probing intracellular RNa/K during the drug-induced primary stage of apoptotic volume decrease. Especially, the RNa/K has been shown by our nanotool to be different in cell lines with different metastatic potential. This work is expected to contribute to futuristic study of single-cell RNa/K in various physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Ideal single-cell viscometer has remained unachieved, leaving a gap in current palette of single-cell nanotools. Information of single-cell viscosity could contribute to our knowledge of fundamental biological processes, e.g., mass diffusion, biochemical interaction, and cellular responses to many diseases and pathologies. Although advances have been made to this end, existing methods generally suffer from limitations, e.g., low spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we describe a high spatiotemporal iontronic single-cell viscometer that operates upon a patch clamp integrated with double-barreled nanopores separated by a septum of ca. 32 nm. The system enables reversible electroosmotic manipulation of the adjacent small fluid bridging two nanopores, the viscous alternation of which could be sensitively monitored by the ionic responses. In practical cellular studies, significantly, our findings reveal not only the less deviated medium viscosities than those of lysosomes and mitochondria but also the highest viscosities in the near-nuclear region than those of mitochondrion-dense and lysosome-dense regions. This work has provided an accessible single-cell viscometer and enriched the armory of single-cell nanotools.

Abstract
The use of DNA-based nanostructures as probes has led to significant advances in chemical and biological sensing, allowing the detection of analytes in complex media, the understanding of fundamental biological processes, and the ability to diagnose diseases based on molecular signatures. The utility of these structures arises both from DNA's inherent ability to selectively recognize and bind a variety of chemical species and from the unique properties observed when DNA is restructured at the nanoscale. In this Minireview, we chronicle the most commonly used signal transduction strategies that have been interfaced with various DNA-based nanostructures. We discuss the types of analytes and the detection scenarios that are sought after, delineate the advantages and disadvantages of each signaling strategy, and outline the key considerations that guide the selection of each signaling method.

Abstract
Adhesion of single cells is the foundation of manifold cellular behaviors and life processes. However, investigating the function of a specific cell is still challenging due to deficiency of adhesion or interference from surrounding cells. Herein, an open microfluidic system is reported for culturing adherent single cells, implemented by a micrometer-scale droplet matrix on an inkjet-printed polylysine template. The target cells are isolated from any cell from other droplets, and their adhesion strength is determined to be comparable to conventional petri dishes via an in-situ investigation with a microfluidic extractor. On this proposed platform, isolated single cells are observed to display an entirely distinct spreading behavior featuring total absence of elongation, indicating drastic cell behavior change from their "singleness." This system has high versatility and compatibility for various assaying methods, assuring a promising potential in detailed single cell behavior and cell heterogeneity studies.

Abstract
Photon-enabled bioelectronics has long been pursued in modern electronics due to their non-contact, remote-control, and even self-powered function interfacing the biological world with semiconductor devices. The debuting organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) relies on the photovoltage generated by the semiconductors to modulate the channel conductance, which enables light-fueled operation at zero gate bias. Inspired by the insulating nature of macrobiomolecules and surface capacitance mechanism, herein we demonstrate the biological regulation of the surface capacitance towards new OPECT biodetection, which was exemplified by a CdS quantum dots/TiO2 nanotubes photoanode accommodating hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification with the target of biomarker miRNA-17. Formation of the non-conducting DNA layer from the miRNA-17-oriented HCR could decrease the surface capacitance and increase the corresponding fractional potential drop, shifting the transfer curve horizontally to higher gate voltage and thus producing different drain currents. The OPECT biosensor exhibited a linear relationship with the miRNA-17 concentration on the logarithmic axis in the range from 1 pm. to 10 μm with a detection limit of 1 pm. This work not only represented a generic methodology of miRNA detection, but also provided a universal mechanism for the operation of advanced OPECT bioanalytics.

Abstract
Biological nanochannels perfectly operate in organisms and exquisitely control mass transmembrane transport for complex life process. Inspired by biological nanochannels, plenty of intelligent artificial solid-state nanopores and nanochannels are constructed based on various materials and methods with the development of nanotechnology. Specially, the light-controlled nanopores/nanochannels have attracted much attention due to the unique advantages in terms of that ion and molecular transport can be regulated remotely, spatially and temporally. According to the structure and function of biological ion channels, light-controlled solid-state nanopores/nanochannels can be divided into light-regulated ion channels with ion gating and ion rectification functions, and light-driven ion pumps with active ion transport property. In this review, we present a systematic overview of light-controlled ion channels and ion pumps according to the photo-responsive components in the system. Then, the related applications of solid-state nanopores/nanochannels for molecular sensing, water purification and energy conversion are discussed.

Abstract
As an important component of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, liposomes play a key role in the efficient protection and delivery of mRNA to cells. Herein, due to the controllable release amplification strategy of liposomes, a reliable and robust single-particle collision electrochemical (SPCE) biosensor was constructed for H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) detection by combining liposome encapsulation-release strategy with immunomagnetic separation. The liposomes modified with biotin and loaded with platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were used as signal probes for the first time. Biotin facilitated the coupling of biomolecules (DNA or antibodies) through the specific reaction of biotin-streptavidin. Each liposome can encapsulate multiple Pt NPs, which were ruptured under the presence of 1 × PBST (phosphate buffer saline with 0.05% Tween-20) within 2 min, and the encapsulated Pt NPs were released for SPCE experiment. The combination of immunomagnetic separation not only improved the anti-interference capabilities but also avoided the agglomeration of Pt NPs, enabling the SPCE biosensor to realize ultrasensitive detection of 18.1 fg/mL H9N2 AIV. Furthermore, the reliable SPCE biosensor was successfully applied in specific detection of H9N2 AIV in complex samples (chicken serum, chicken liver and chicken lung), which promoted the universality of SPCE biosensor and its application prospect in early diagnosis of diseases.
