Abstract
Early-stage diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma is essential for successful treatment and, thus, significant prognosis improvement. In laboratory practice, the standard non-invasive diagnostic approach is the immunochemical detection of the associated biomarker, prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Ultrasensitive detection of PSA is essential for both diagnostic and recurrence monitoring purposes. To achieve exceptional sensitivity, we have developed a microfluidic device with a flow-through cell for single-molecule analysis using photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as a detection label. For this purpose, magnetic microparticles (MBs) were first optimized for the capture and preconcentration of PSA and then used to implement a bead-based upconversion-linked immunoassay (ULISA) in the microfluidic device. The digital readout based on counting single nanoparticle-labeled PSA molecules on MBs enabled a detection limit of 1.04 pg mL-1 (36 fM) in 50% fetal bovine serum, which is an 11-fold improvement over the respective analog MB-based ULISA. The microfluidic technique conferred several other advantages, such as easy implementation and the potential for achieving high-throughput analysis. Finally, it was proven that the microfluidic setup is suitable for clinical sample analysis, showing a good correlation with a reference electrochemiluminescence assay (recovery rates between 97% and 105%).

Abstract
A nucleic acid aptamer based thermally oxidized porous silicon/zinc oxide microarray chip was constructed for the detection of ochratoxin A. The hybrid chains formed by aptamer and complementary chains labeled with fluorescent groups and fluorescent burst groups were used as recognition molecules, and the detection of toxins was accomplished on the chip by the principle of fluorescence signal burst and recovery. The modified QuEChERS method was used for sample pretreatment and the performance of the method was evaluated. The results showed that the linear range was 0.02 ∼ 200 ng/kg with the detection limit of 0.0196 ng/kg under the optimal detection conditions. The method was applied to different cereals with the recoveries of 90.30 ∼ 111.69 %. The developed microarray chip has the advantages of being cost-effective, easy to prepare, sensitive and specific, and can provide a new method for the detection of other toxins.

Abstract
The robust identification and quantification of various biomarkers is of utmost significance in clinical diagnostics and precision medicine. Fluorescent immunoassays are widely used and considered as a gold standard for biomarker detection due to their high specificity and accuracy. However, current commercial immunoassay tests suffer from limited detection sensitivity and complicated, labor-intensive operation procedures, making them impractical for point-of-care diagnosis, particularly in resource-limited regions. Recently, microfluidic immunoassay devices integrated with plasmonic nanostructures have emerged as a powerful tool for sensitive detection of biomarkers, addressing specific issues, such as integration schemes, easy operation, multiplexed detection, and sensitivity enhancement. In this paper, we provide a discussion on the recent advances in the plasmonic nanostructures integrated with microfluidic devices for fluorescent immunoassays. We shed light on the nanofabrication strategies and various fluidic designs for rapid, sensitive, and highly efficient sensing of antigens. Finally, we share our perspectives on the potential directions of these integrated devices for practical applications.

A Point-of-Care Testing Device Utilizing Graphene-Enhanced Fiber Optic SPR Sensor for Real-Time Detection of Infectious Pathogens. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:1029.

Abstract
Timely detection of highly infectious pathogens is essential for preventing and controlling public health risks. However, most traditional testing instruments require multiple tedious steps and ultimately testing in hospitals and third-party laboratories. The sample transfer process significantly prolongs the time to obtain test results. To tackle this aspect, a portable fiber optic surface plasmon resonance (FO-SPR) device was developed for the real-time detection of infectious pathogens. The portable device innovatively integrated a compact FO-SPR sensing component, a signal acquisition and processing system, and an embedded power supply unit. A gold-plated fiber is used as the FO-SPR sensing probe. Compared with traditional SPR sensing systems, the device is smaller size, lighter weight, and higher convenience. To enhance the detection capacity of pathogens, a monolayer graphene was coated on the sensing region of the FO-SPR sensing probe. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was used to evaluate the performance of the portable device. The device can accurately detect the SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 protein in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and artificial saliva within just 20 min, and the device successfully detected cultured SARS-CoV-2 virus. Furthermore, the FO-SPR probe has long-term stability, remaining stable for up to 8 days. It could distinguish between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and the MERS-CoV spike protein. Hence, this FO-SPR device provides reliable, rapid, and portable access to test results. It provides a promising point-of-care testing (POCT) tool for on-site screening of infectious pathogens.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of Dengue virus remains a critical challenge in global public health. This study presents the development and evaluation of a Zinc Oxide nanorod (ZnO NR)-surface-integrated microfluidic platform for the early detection of Dengue virus. Utilizing a seed-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method, high-purity ZnO NRs were synthesized, characterized by their hexagonal wurtzite structure and a high surface-to-volume ratio, offering abundant binding sites for bioconjugation. Further, a comparative analysis demonstrated that the ZnO NR substrate outperformed traditional bare glass substrates in functionalization efficiency with 4G2 monoclonal antibody (mAb). Subsequent optimization of the functionalization process identified 4% (3-Glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as the most effective surface modifier. The integration of this substrate within a herringbone-structured microfluidic platform resulted in a robust device for immunofluorescence detection of DENV-3. The limit of detection (LOD) for DENV-3 was observed to be as low as 3.1 × 10-4 ng/mL, highlighting the remarkable sensitivity of the ZnO NR-integrated microfluidic device. This study emphasizes the potential of ZnO NRs and the developed microfluidic platform for the early detection of DENV-3, with possible expansion to other biological targets, hence paving the way for enhanced public health responses and improved disease management strategies.

Abstract
The demand for the ultrasensitive and rapid quantitative analysis of trace target analytes has become increasingly urgent. However, the sensitivity of traditional immunoassay-based detection methods is limited due to the contradiction between molecular recognition and signal amplification caused by the size effect of nanoprobes. To address this dilemma, we describe versatile M13 phage-assisted immunorecognition and signal transduction spatiotemporal separation that enable ultrasensitive light-scattering immunoassay systems for the quantitative detection of low-abundance target analytes. The newly developed immunoassay strategy combines the M13 phage-assisted light scattering signal fluctuations of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with gold in situ growth (GISG) technology. Given the synergy of M13 phage-mediated leverage effect and GISG-amplified light scattering signal modulation, the practical detection capability of this strategy can achieve the ultrasensitive and rapid quantification of ochratoxin A and alpha-fetoprotein in real samples at the subfemtomolar level within 50 min, displaying about 4 orders of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity compared with traditional phage-based ELISA. To further improve the sensitivity of our immunoassay, the biotin-streptavidin amplification scheme is implemented to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein down to the attomolar range. Overall, this study offers a direction for ultrasensitive quantitative detection of target analytes by the synergistic combination of M13 phage-mediated leverage effect and GISG-amplified light scattering signal modulation.

Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) is a pathogenic bacterium associated with life-threatening neonatal infections that have been linked to contaminated powdered infant formula (PIF). Most C. sakazakii testing is still limited in microbiology laboratories due to the need for sophisticated equipment and professional technicians. Microfluidic chips combined with isothermal amplification analysis are shown to be one of the most attractive microbiological on-site detection platforms. In this study, PDMS microfluidic chips were fabricated by a simple 3D molding method and sealed with "PDMS glue". The chip consisted of an inlet, a microchannel, six reaction wells, and six vent holes. And based on the 16S rRNA and ITS genes of C. sakazakii, we have successfully proposed a multiplex competitive annealing mediated isothermal amplification (mCAMP) assay on the microfluidic chip for the visual detection of C. sakazakii in PIF samples. The primers were fixed in the reaction wells of the chip before detection, which can be preserved for 60 days at 4 °C. The results showed that the established mCAMP assay had high specificity, and the limit of detection was 2.2 × 103 CFU g-1. With enrichment culture, even if the initial inoculation level is 1 CFU g-1, the mCAMP assay can still detect the presence of C. sakazakii in spiked PIF samples. The test results are visible to the naked eye, which is suitable for rapid analysis in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Mitigating the spread of global infectious diseases requires rapid and accurate diagnostic tools. Conventional diagnostic techniques for infectious diseases typically require sophisticated equipment and are time consuming. Emerging clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) detection systems have shown remarkable potential as next-generation diagnostic tools to achieve rapid, sensitive, specific, and field-deployable diagnoses of infectious diseases, based on state-of-the-art microfluidic platforms. Therefore, a review of recent advances in CRISPR-based microfluidic systems for infectious diseases diagnosis is urgently required. This review highlights the mechanisms of CRISPR/Cas biosensing and cutting-edge microfluidic devices including paper, digital, and integrated wearable platforms. Strategies to simplify sample pretreatment, improve diagnostic performance, and achieve integrated detection are discussed. Current challenges and future perspectives contributing to the development of more effective CRISPR-based microfluidic diagnostic systems are also proposed.

Abstract
With the rapid spread and multigeneration variation of coronavirus, rapid drug development has become imperative. A major obstacle to addressing this issue is adequately constructing the cell membrane at the molecular level, which enables in vitro observation of the cell response to virus and drug molecules quantitatively, shortening the drug experiment cycle. Herein, we propose a rapid and label-free supported lipid bilayer-based lab-on-a-chip biosensor for the screening of effective inhibition drugs. An extended gate electrode was prepared and functionalized by an angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) receptor-incorporated supported lipid bilayer (SLB). Such an integrated system can convert the interactions of targets and membrane receptors into real-time charge signals. The platform can simulate the cell membrane microenvironment in vitro and accurately capture the interaction signal between the target and the cell membrane with minimized interference, thus observing the drug action pathway quantitatively and realizing drug screening effectively. Due to these label-free, low-cost, convenient, and integrated advantages, it is a suitable candidate method for the rapid drug screening for the early treatment and prevention of worldwide spread of coronavirus.

Abstract
Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has developed into a global pandemic in the last two years, causing significant impacts on our daily life in many countries. Rapid and accurate detection of COVID-19 is of great importance to both treatments and pandemic management. Till now, a variety of point-of-care testing (POCT) approaches devices, including nucleic acid-based test and immunological detection, have been developed and some of them has been rapidly ruled out for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 due to the requirement of mass testing. In this review, we provide a summary and commentary on the methods and biomedical devices innovated or renovated for the quick and early diagnosis of COVID-19. In particular, some of micro and nano devices with miniaturized structures, showing outstanding analytical performances such as ultra-sensitivity, rapidness, accuracy and low cost, are discussed in this paper. We also provide our insights on the further implementation of biomedical devices using advanced micro and nano technologies to meet the demand of point-of-care diagnosis and home testing to facilitate pandemic management. In general, our paper provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances on the POCT device for diagnosis of COVID-19, which may provide insightful knowledge for researcher to further develop novel diagnostic technologies for rapid and on-site detection of pathogens including SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
A serological immunoassay based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a crucial tool for screening and identification of human SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion. Various immunoassays are developed to detect the spike 1 (S1) and nucleocapsid (NP) proteins of SARS-CoV-2; however, these serological tests have low sensitivity. Here, a novel microplate (MP) is developed on which a ZnO nanowire (NW) is fabricated by a modified hydrothermal synthesis method. This plate is coated with SARS-CoV-2 NP and used as a fluorescent immunoassay (FIA) to detect antibodies specific for SARS-CoV-2 NP. Compared with the bare MP, the ZnO-NW MP binds high levels (up to 5 µg mL-1) of SARS-CoV-2 NP tagged to histidine without any surface treatment. A novel serological assay based on the ZnO-NW MP is more sensitive than a commercial immunoassay, enabling early detection (within <5 days of a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction-confirmed COVID-19 infection) of anti-SARS-CoV-2 NP IgG antibodies in asymptomatic patients with COVID-19. This is the first assay to detect early antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic patients. Therefore, this serological assay will facilitate accurate diagnosis of COVID-19, as well as estimation of COVID-19 prevalence and incidence.

Abstract
The latest epidemic of extremely infectious coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created a significant public health concern. Despite substantial efforts to contain severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) within a specific location, shortcomings in the surveillance of predominantly asymptomatic infections constrain attempts to identify the epidemiological spread of the virus. Continuous surveillance of wastewater streams, including sewage, offers opportunities to track the spread of SARS-CoV-2, which is believed to be found in fecal waste. To demonstrate the feasibility of SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater systems, we herein present a novel facilely constructed fluorescence sensing array based on a panel of three different lanthanide-doped carbon nanoparticles (LnCNPs). The differential fluorescence response pattern due to the counterion-ligand interactions allowed us to employ powerful pattern recognition to effectively detect SARS-CoV-2 and differentiate it from other viruses or bacteria. The sensor results were benchmarked to the gold standard RT-qPCR, and the sensor showed excellent sensitivity (1.5 copies/μL) and a short sample-to-results time of 15 min. This differential response of the sensor array was also explained from the differential mode of binding of the LnCNPs with the surface proteins of the studied bacteria and viruses. Therefore, the developed sensor array provides a cost-effective, community diagnostic tool that could be potentially used as a novel epidemiologic surveillance approach to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Abstract
Humans have suffered from a variety of infectious diseases since a long time ago, and now a new infectious disease called COVID-19 is prevalent worldwide. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to research of the effective methods of diagnosing respiratory infectious diseases, which are important to reduce infection rate and help the spread of diseases be controlled. The onset of COVID-19 has led to the further development of existing diagnostic methods such as polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification. Furthermore, this has contributed to the further development of micro/nanotechnology-based diagnostic methods, which have advantages of high-throughput testing, effectiveness in terms of cost and space, and portability compared to conventional diagnosis methods. Micro/nanotechnology-based diagnostic methods can be largely classified into (1) nanomaterials-based, (2) micromaterials-based, and (3) micro/nanodevice-based. This review paper describes how micro/nanotechnologies have been exploited to diagnose respiratory infectious diseases in each section. The research and development of micro/nanotechnology-based diagnostics should be further explored and advanced as new infectious diseases continue to emerge. Only a handful of micro/nanotechnology-based diagnostic methods has been commercialized so far and there still are opportunities to explore.

Abstract
Accurate, specific, and inexpensive detection of multiple infectious pathogens simultaneously is a significant goal for human health and safety. Herein we present a rationally designed modular DNA circuit for point-of-care (POC) detection of a variety of infectious pathogens based on nucleic acid isothermal amplification technology and DNAzyme-mediated colorimetric readout. A modular DNA circuit was constructed with a fixed module and a flexible module and was rationally designed according to genetic targets. On this basis, the platform could detect multiple genetic targets corresponding to infectious pathogens simultaneously. Signal amplification properties of the DNA circuit and the peroxidase-like DNAzyme enable the detection limits to reach the picomolar level. By urea treatment and magnetic separation, the fixed module can be reused at least five times, which makes this assay more economical and environmentally friendly. The detection of genetic infectious pathogens should be accomplished in 2 h with naked-eye observation and may provide an efficient tool for POC analysis of multiple infectious pathogens, especially in resource-poor areas.

Abstract
Co-integration of nanomaterials into microdevices poses several technological challenges and presents numerous scientific opportunities that have been addressed in this paper by integrating zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO-NWs) into a microfluidic chamber. In addition to the applications of these combined materials, this work focuses on the study of the growth dynamics and uniformity of nanomaterials in a tiny microfluidic reactor environment. A unique experimental platform was built through the integration of a noninvasive optical characterization technique with the microfluidic reactor. This platform allowed the unprecedented demonstration of time-resolved and spatially resolved monitoring of the in situ growth of NWs, in which the chemicals were continuously fed into the microfluidic reactor. The platform was also used to assess the uniformity of NWs grown quickly in a 10-mm-wide microchamber, which was intentionally chosen to be 20 times wider than those used in previous attempts because it can accommodate applications requiring a large surface of interaction while still taking advantage of submillimeter height. Further observations included the effects of varying the flow rate on the NW diameter and length in addition to a synergetic effect of continuous renewal of the growth solution and the confined environment of the chemical reaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluctuation in serotonin (5-HT) level is an essential manifestation of several neurological disorders. In view of such importance, it is necessary to monitor the levels of 5-HT with good sensitivity, selectivity, affordability and low response time. Zinc oxide (ZnO) based field effect transistors (FET) with attributes like minimized noise levels and large on-off ratio are regarded as emerging high performance biosensor platforms. However, their response is significantly non-linear and there has been no appreciable endeavor for improving the non-linearity. METHOD In this paper, we have introduced embedded gate electrode encompassing the channel of the FET which improves the uniformity in electric field line distribution through the electrolyte and proportionately enhances the capture of target biomolecule at ultra low concentrations, thereby increasing the linearity. Further, we have incorporated the optimized parameters of ZnO nanorods reported previously, for rapid and selective detection of 5-HT. RESULTS It has been observed that the fabricated ZnO FET biosensor lowers the detection limit down to 0.1fM which is at least one order of magnitude lower than the existing reports. The sensor also has wide linear range from 0.1fM to 1nM with a detection time of about 20 minutes. CONCLUSION The proposed zinc oxide nanorod-based sensor can be used as an excellent tool for future diagnosis of neurological disorders.

Abstract
Since the 1970s, several species of herpesviruses have been identified and associated with significant diseases in reptiles. Earlier discoveries placed these viruses into different taxonomic groups on the basis of morphological and biological characteristics, while advancements in molecular methods have led to more recent descriptions of novel reptilian herpesviruses, as well as providing insight into the phylogenetic relationship of these viruses. Herpesvirus infections in reptiles are often characterised by non-pathognomonic signs including stomatitis, encephalitis, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and proliferative lesions. With the exception of fibropapillomatosis in marine turtles, the absence of specific clinical signs has fostered misdiagnosis and underreporting of the actual disease burden in reptilian populations and hampered potential investigations that could lead to the effective control of these diseases. In addition, complex life histories, sampling bias and poor monitoring systems have limited the assessment of the impact of herpesvirus infections in wild populations and captive collections. Here we review the current published knowledge of the taxonomy, pathogenesis, pathology and epidemiology of reptilian herpesviruses.

Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic is the most challenging incident that people have faced in recent years. Despite the time-consuming and expensive conventional methods, point-of-care diagnostics have a crucial role in deterrence, timely detection, and intensive care of the disease's progress. Hence, this detrimental health emergency persuaded researchers to accelerate the development of highly-scalable diagnostic devices to control the propagation of the virus even in the least developed countries. The strategies exploited for detecting COVID-19 stem from the already designed systems for studying other maladies, particularly viral infections. The present report reviews not only the novel advances in portable diagnostic devices for recognizing COVID-19, but also the previously existing biosensors for detecting other viruses. It discusses their adaptability for identifying surface proteins, whole viruses, viral genomes, host antibodies, and other biomarkers in biological samples. The prominence of different types of biosensors such as electrochemical, optical, and electrical for detecting low viral loads have been underlined. Thus, it is anticipated that this review will assist scientists who have embarked on a competition to come up with more efficient and marketable in-situ test kits for identifying the infection even in its incubation time without sample pretreatment. Finally, a conclusion is provided to highlight the importance of such an approach for monitoring people to combat the spread of such contagious diseases.

Abstract
Recently emerged novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) led to urgent search for methods to prevent and treat COVID-19. Among important disciplines that were mobilized is the biomaterials science and engineering. Biomaterials offer a range of possibilities to develop disease models, protective, diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring measures, and vaccines. Among the most important contributions made so far from this field are tissue engineering, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip systems, which have been the important frontiers in developing tissue models for viral infection studies. Also, due to low bioavailability and limited circulation time of conventional antiviral drugs, controlled and targeted drug delivery could be applied alternatively. Fortunately, at the time of writing this paper, we have two successful vaccines and new at-home detection platforms. In this paper, we aim to review recent advances of biomaterial-based platforms for protection, diagnosis, vaccination, therapeutics, and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 and discuss challenges and possible future research directions in this field.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of pathogenic bacteria, particularly antibiotic-resistant strains pose grave global concerns worldwide, which demand for the rapid development of highly selective and sensitive strategies for specific bacterial detection, identification, imaging and therapy. The fascinating feature of aggregation-induced emissive molecules (AIEgens) to display fluorescence in aggregate form can be suitably coupled with nanotechnology for developing theranostic AIE dots that can offer convenient and customised functions such as sensing, imaging, detection, discrimination and cell kill of different bacterial types. The initial section of the article reveals the necessity for incorporating diagnostic imaging with antibacterial therapy, while the latter part delivers mechanistic insights on the benefits of AIE fluorophores in theranostic applications. Further, the review illustrates the recent advancements of AIEgens as theranostic nanolights in bacterial detection, identification and eradication. The review is organised according to the different classes of AIE-active bacterial theranostics such as carrier-free nanoprodrugs, nanomachines for synergistic imaging-guided cancer treatment and bacterial kill, AIE polymers, bioconjugates and nanoparticle carriers. By elucidating their design principles and applications, as well as highlighting the recent trends and perspectives that can be further explored, we hope to instill more research interest in AIE bacterial theranostics for future translational research.HighlightsCombination of aggregation induced emissive fluorophores and nanotechnology for developing bacterial theranostics.AIE theranostics with customised functions for bacterial imaging, detection, discrimination and cell kill.

Abstract
It is an urgency to detect infectious pathogens or cancer biomarkers using rapid, simple, convenient and cost-effective methods in complex biological samples. Many existing approaches (traditional virus culture, ELISA or PCR) for the pathogen and biomarker assays face several challenges in the clinical applications that require lengthy time, sophisticated sample pre-treatment and expensive instruments. Due to the simple and rapid detection manner as well as no requirement of expensive equipment, many visual detection methods have been considered to resolve the aforementioned problems. Meanwhile, various new materials and colorimetric/fluorescent methods have been tried to construct new biosensors for infectious pathogens and biomarkers. However, the recent progress of these aspects is rarely reviewed, especially in terms of integration of new materials, microdevice and detection mechanism into the visual detection systems. Herein, we provide a broad field of view to discuss the recent progress in the visual detection of infectious pathogens and cancer biomarkers along with the detection mechanism, new materials, novel detection methods, special targets as well as multi-functional microdevices and systems. The novel visual approaches for the infectious pathogens and biomarkers, such as bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), metal-induced metallization and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based biosensors, are discussed. Additionally, recent advancements in visual assays utilizing various new materials for proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, exosomes and small molecules are comprehensively reviewed. Future perspectives on the visual sensing systems for infectious pathogens and cancers are also proposed.

Abstract
A fully Integrated Micropillar Polydimethylsiloxane Accurate CRISPR deTection (IMPACT) system is developed for viral DNA detection. This powerful system is patterned with high-aspect-ratio micropillars to enhance reporter probe binding. After surface modification and probe immobilization, the CRISPR-Cas12a/crRNA complex is injected into the fully enclosed microchannel. With the presence of a double-stranded DNA target, the CRISPR enzyme is activated and denatures the single-stranded DNA reporters from the micropillars. This collateral cleavage releases fluorescence reporters into the assay, and the intensity is linearly proportional to the target DNA concentration ranging from 0.1 to 10 nM. Importantly, this system does not rely on the traditional dye-quencher-labeled probe, thus reducing the fluorescence background presented in the assay. Furthermore, our one-step detection protocol is performed on-chip at isothermal conditions (37 °C) without using complicated and time-consuming off-chip probe hybridization and denaturation. This miniaturized and fully packed IMPACT chip demonstrates sensitive and accurate DNA detection within 120 min and paves ways to the next-generation point-of-care diagnostics, responding to emerging and deadly pathogen outbreaks.

Abstract
There is a long way to go before the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid‐19) outbreak comes under control. qRT‐PCR is currently used for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the causative agent of Covid‐19, but it is expensive, time‐consuming, and not as sensitive as it should be. Finding a rapid, easy‐to‐use, and cheap diagnostic method is necessary to help control the current outbreak. Microfluidic systems provide a platform for many diagnostic tests, including RT‐PCR, RT‐LAMP, nested‐PCR, nucleic acid hybridization, ELISA, fluorescence‐Based Assays, rolling circle amplification, aptamers, sample preparation multiplexer (SPM), Porous Silicon Nanowire Forest, silica sol‐gel coating/bonding, and CRISPR. They promise faster, cheaper, and easy‐to‐use methods with higher sensitivity, so microfluidic devices have a high potential to be an alternative method for the detection of viral RNA. These devices have previously been used to detect RNA viruses such as H1N1, Zika, HAV, HIV, and norovirus, with acceptable results. This paper provides an overview of microfluidic systems as diagnostic methods for RNA viruses with a focus on SARS‐CoV‐2.

Abstract
An antibacterial polymer peptidopolysaccharide (COS-AMP) that integrates antibacterial and detection functions is constructed with a simple synthetic method. The COS-AMP is constructed by simulating the structure of peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall with chitooligosaccharide with intrinsic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect as the main chain, as well as a peptide polymer grafted onto its amino group. Based on the AIE effect and excitation-dependent fluorescence of COS-AMP, it is tentatively applied to multicolor imaging and quantification of bacteria. This multicolor imaging helps to match different excitation sources of fluorescent instrument for straightforward imaging and detection. The structural similarity with the bacterial cell wall component facilitates the passage of COS-AMP across the cell wall and destroys the bacterial structure, thus it has a good broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. In addition, aromatic fluorophores are not needed, and excellent biocompatibility will make it have broad application prospects.

Abstract
Effective analysis of pathogens causing human and veterinary diseases demands rapid, specific and sensitive detection methods which can be applied in research laboratory setups and in field for routine diagnosis. Paper lateral flow biosensors (LFBs) have been established as attractive tools for such analytical applications. In the present study a prototype LFB was designed for whole particles (virions) detection of nodavirus or fish nervous necrosis virus. Nodavirus is an important threat in the aquaculture industry, causing severe economic losses and environmental problems. The LFB was based on polyclonal antibodies conjugated on gold nanoparticles for signal visualization. Brain and retinas from fish samples were homogenized, centrifuged and the supernatant was directly applied on the LFB. Formation of a red test line was indicative of nodavirus virions presence. Nodavirus visual detection was completed in short time (30 min). Key factors of the LFB development influencing the assays’ detection limit were characterized and the optimum parameters were determined, enabling increased efficiency, excluding non-specific interactions. Therefore, the proposed LFB assay consists a robust, simple, low cost and accurate method for detection of nodavirus virions in fish samples. The proposed biosensor is ideal for development of a commercial kit to be used on aquaculture facilities by fish farmers. It is anticipated that disease monitoring and environmental safety will benefit from the simplification of time consuming and costly procedures.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) materials hold great promise in diverse applications due to their attractive physicochemical features. Recent years, especially the last decade, have witnessed considerable progress toward rational design and bioapplications of multiscale ZnO materials through microfluidic techniques. Design of a microfluidic device that allows for precise control over reaction conditions could not only yield ZnO particles with a fast production rate and high quality, but also permit downstream applications with desirable and superior performance. This review summarizes microfluidic approaches for the synthesis and applications of ZnO micro-/nanomaterials. In particular, we discuss the recent achievement of using microfluidic reactors in the controllable synthesis of ZnO structures (wire, rod, sphere, flower, sheet, flake, spindle, and ellipsoid), and highlight the unprecedented opportunities for applying them in biosensing, biological separation, and molecular catalysis applications through microfluidic chips. Finally, major challenges and potential opportunities are explored to guide future studies in this area.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate diagnosis of viral infection is important for human health and social safety. Herein, by means of explosive catalysis from an enzyme muster, a powerful naked-eye readout platform has been successfully constructed for ultrasensitive immunoassay of viral entities. Liposomes were used to encapsulate multiple enzymes into an active unit. In addition, its triggered rupture could boost the disassembly of gold nano-aggregates that were cross-linked by peptides with opposite charges. As a result, plasmonically colorimetric signals were rapidly generated for naked-eye observation. Further harnessing the immunocapture, enterovirus 71 (EV71), a class of highly infective virus, was sensitively assayed with a detection limit down to 16 copies/μL. It is superior to the single enzyme-anchored immunoassay system. Most importantly, the colorimetric assay was demonstrated with 100% clinical accuracy, displaying strong anti-interference capability. It is expectable that this sensitive, accurate, and convenient strategy could provide a prospective alternative for viral infection analysis, especially in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Viruses pose serious infectious disease threats to humans and animals. To significantly decrease the mortality and morbidity caused by virus infections, there is an urgent need of sensitive and rapid point-of-care platforms for virus detection, especially in low-resource settings. Herein, we developed a smartphone-based point-of-care platform for highly sensitive and selective detection of the avian influenza virus based on nanomaterial-enabled colorimetric detection. The 3D nanostructures, which serve as a scaffold for antibody conjugation to capture the avian influenza virus, are made on PDMS herringbone structures with a ZnO nanorod template. After virus capture, the on-chip gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric reaction allows virus detection by naked eyes with a detection limit of 2.7 × 104 EID50/mL, which is one order of magnitude better than that of conventional fluorescence-based ELISA. Furthermore, a smartphone imaging system with data processing capability further improves the detection limit, reaching down to 8 × 103 EID50/mL. The entire virus capture and detection process can be completed in 1.5 h. We envision that this point-of-care microfluidic system integrated with smartphone imaging and colorimetric detection would provide a fast, cheap, sensitive, and user-friendly platform for virus detection in low-resource settings.

Abstract
The outbreak of H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) brings high mortality and huge economic losses every year. Sensitive and reliable detection methods are essential to timely diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a dual-modality immunoassay is proposed for H9N2 AIV detection by employing fluorescent-magnetic-catalytic nanospheres (FMCNs) as labels and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-induced metallization as a signal amplification strategy. The excellent magnetic properties of FMCNs endow the assay a potential application in complex samples. Also, the excellent fluorescence properties of FMCNs enable fluorescence modality readout. The antibodies on the FMCN surface can achieve efficient capture and separation of targets. Amplified electrochemical modality readout can be obtained through ALP-catalyzed silver deposition. Dual-modality immunoassay combined the advantages of electrochemical assay with fluorescence assay and provides accurate detection results to meet different testing needs. With two quantitative analysis forms, H9N2 AIV can be detected by electrochemical signals with a quantitation range of 0.1 to 1000 ng/mL and a detection limit of 10 pg/mL. The linear range is 300 to 1000 ng/mL with a detection limit of 69.8 ng/mL by the fluorescence signal readout. Moreover, the specificity, anti-interference ability, accuracy, and diversity of the proposal have unlimited potential for early diagnosis of suspect infections.

Abstract
On-site multiplex biosensors for innate immunity antibodies are ideal tools for monitoring health status of individuals against various diseases. This study introduces a novel antibody immunoassay testing platform incorporating microfiber-based arrays of antigens to capture specific antibodies. The fabrication and setup of the device revolved around electrospun polystyrene (ESPS) microfibers that act as three-dimensional membrane filters, capable of rapid and multifold analyte capture. In particular, the ESPS microfibers were patterned through localized oxygen plasma to create hydrophilic zones that facilitate fluid flows and immobilizations of antigens. The bulk of this robust antibody immunoassay platform could be installed into a compact syringe-driven cassette device, which could perform multiplex antibody immunoassay for antibodies specifically against Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) with rapid preparation amounting to a total of 5 min, as well as high sensitivity and specificity for the MERS-CoV down to 200 μg/mL.

Abstract
Using a single test to comprehensively evaluate multiple cardiac biomarkers for early diagnosis and prevention of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has faced enormous challenges. Here, we have developed paper-based fluorogenic immunodevices for multiplexed detection of three cardiac biomarkers, namely, human heart-type fatty acid binding protein (FABP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and myoglobin, simultaneously. The detection is based on a strategy using zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) to enhance fluorescence signals (∼5-fold compared to that on pure paper). The immunodevices showed high sensitivity and selectivity for FABP, cTnI, and myoglobin with detection limits of 1.36 ng/mL, 1.00 ng/mL, and 2.38 ng/mL, respectively. Additionally, the paper-based immunoassay was rapid (∼5 min to complete the test) and portable (using a homemade chamber with a smartphone and an ultraviolet lamp). The developed devices integrated with ZnO NWs enable quantitative, sensitive, and simultaneous detection of multiple cardiac biomarkers in point-of-care settings, which provides a useful approach for monitoring AMI diseases and may be extended to other medical diagnostics and environmental assessments.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria, fungi and viruses pose serious threats to the human health under appropriate conditions. There are many rapid and sensitive approaches have been developed for identification and quantification of specific pathogens, but many challenges still exist. Culture/colony counting and polymerase chain reaction are the classical methods used for pathogen detection, but their operations are time-consuming and laborious. On the other hand, the emergence and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens is another global threat. It is thus of utmost urgency to develop new therapeutic agents or strategies. Luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) and their derived supramolecular systems with unique optical properties have been developed as fluorescent probes for turn-on sensing of pathogens with high sensitivity and specificity. In addition, AIE-based supramolecular nanostructures exhibit excellent photodynamic inactivation (PDI) activity in aggregate, offering great potential for not only light-up diagnosis of pathogen, but also image-guided PDI therapy for pathogenic infection.

Abstract
High-efficiency target capture is an essential prerequisite for sensitive immunoassays. However, the current available immunoassay approaches are subject to deficient binding affinities between predator-prey molecules that greatly restrict the target capture efficiency and immunoassay sensitivity. Herein, we present a new strategy through the self-assembly of antigen proteins into nanowires to enhance the binding affinity between an antigen and antibody. Through the genetic fusion of antigen proteins (e.g., HIV p24) with the yeast amyloid protein Sup35 self-assembly domain, specific antigen nanowires (Ag nanowires) were constructed and demonstrated a remarkable enhancement in binding affinity compared with that of the monomeric antigen molecule. The Ag nanowires were further combined with magnetic beads to form a 3D magnetic probe based on a seed-induced self-assembly strategy. Taking advantage of both the strong binding affinity and the rapid magnetic separation and enrichment capacity, the specific 3D magnetic probe achieved a 100-fold improvement in detection sensitivity within a significantly shorter period of 20 min over that of the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive analysis of protein biomarkers is of tremendous biological and clinical significance. Immunoassays are workhorse tools for protein analysis and have been under continuous investigation to develop new methods and to improve the analytical performance. Herein we report a pneumatically gated microfluidic communicating vessel (μCOVE) chip for rapid and sensitive immunomagnetic ELISA. A distinct feature of our device is that it employs the communicating vessel principle as a simple means to generate a fast transient hydrodynamic flow to enable effective flow washing without the need for excessive incubation, which greatly simplifies and expedites the assay workflow, compared to conventional microfluidic flow-based immunoassays. Stationary multi-phase microfluidic techniques have been developed for fast bead washing. However, they have some limitations, such as the need for careful control of interfacial properties, large bead quantity required for reliable interphase bead transport, and relatively high bead loss during surface tension-gated traverse. Our single-phase μCOVE chip can overcome such limitations and facilitate the manipulation of magnetic beads to streamline the assay workflow. We showed that the μCOVE device affords highly sensitive quantification of the CEA and EGFR proteins with a LOD down to the sub-picogram per mL level. Direct detection of the EGFR in the crude A431 cell lysate was also demonstrated to further validate the ability of our device for rapid and quantitative analysis of complex biological samples. Overall, our work presents a unique platform that combines the merits of the stationary multi-phase systems and the flow-based microfluidics. This novel immunoassay microsystem has promising potential for a broad range of biological and clinical applications, owing to its simplicity and high performance.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate detection of highly contagious virus is urgently demanded for disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, based on a multifunctional aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), a dual-modality readout immunoassay platform for ultrasensitive detection of viruses has been successfully demonstrated. The platform is relied on virions immuno-bridged enzymatic hydrolysis of AIEgen, accompanying with the in situ formation of highly emissive AIE aggregates and shelling of silver on gold nanoparticles. As a result, robust turn-on fluorescence and naked-eye discernible plasmonic colorimetry composed dual-signal is achieved. By further taking advantage of effective immunomagnetic enrichment, EV71 virions, as an example, can be specifically detected with a limit of detection down to 1.4 copies/μL under fluorescence modality. Additionally, semiquantitative discerning of EV71 virions is realized in a broad range from 1.3 × 103 to 2.5 × 106 copies/μL with the naked eye. Most importantly, EV71 virions in 24 real clinical samples are successfully diagnosed with 100% accuracy. Comparing to the gold standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, our immunoassay platform do not need complicated sample pretreatment and expensive instruments. This dual-modality strategy builds a good capability for both colorimetry based convenient preliminary screening and fluorescence based accurate diagnosis of suspect infections in virus-stricken areas.
