Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus contamination continues to be a harmful foodborne pathogen threatening of human health, and there is a growing need for rapid detection technologies. This study proposed a novel paper biosensor based on a polydiacetylene (PDA) polymer functionalized fibrinogen (Fg) for the detection of S. aureus in food sources. The fluorophore was developed based on the high binding ability of fibrinogen-binding proteins on the surface of S. aureus. This binding caused twisting in the PDA backbone, leading to changes in chromatic and fluorescent. The detection limit of this method was 50.1 CFU/mL for S. aureus-contaminated foodstuffs and 65.0 CFU/mL for the pure S. aureus culture, and the novelty came from its rapidity and selectivity for S. aureus compared to other foodborne bacteria. In summary, the present work provides a rapid detection method for S. aureus detection, which will help in addressing food safety-related issues.

AI-assisted smartphone-based colorimetric biosensor for visualized, rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 259:116369. [PMID: 38781695 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116369] [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: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Accurate and effective detection is essential to against bacterial infection and contamination. Novel biosensors, which detect bacterial bioproducts and convert them into measurable signals, are attracting attention. We developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted smartphone-based colorimetric biosensor for the visualized, rapid, sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria by measuring the bacteria secreted hyaluronidase (HAase). The biosensor consists of the chlorophenol red-β-D-galactopyranoside (CPRG)-loaded hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel as the bioreactor and the β-galactosidase (β-gal)-loaded agar hydrogel as the signal generator. The HAase degrades the bioreactor and subsequently determines the release of CPRG, which could further react with β-gal to generate signal colors. The self-developed YOLOv5 algorithm was utilized to analyze the signal colors acquired by smartphone. The biosensor can provide a report within 60 min with an ultra-low limit of detection (LoD) of 10 CFU/mL and differentiate between gram-positive (G+) and gram-negative (G-) bacteria. The proposed biosensor was successfully applied in various areas, especially the evaluation of infections in clinical samples with 100% sensitivity. We believe the designed biosensor has the potential to represent a new paradigm of "ASSURED" bacterial detection, applicable for broad biomedical uses.

A systematic and comprehensive summary of this emerging and rapid-advancing technology is necessary to give play to the potential of Ago-based biosensing assays. The structure and function of Agos were briefly overviewed at the beginning of the work, followed by a review of the recent advancements in employing Agos sensing for detecting various targets with a comprehensive analysis such as viruses, tumor biomarkers, pathogens, mycoplasma, and parasite. The significance and benefits of these platforms were then deliberated. In addition, the authors shared subjective viewpoints on the existing challenges and offered relevant guidance for the future progress of Agos assays. Finally, the future research outlook regarding Ago-based sensing in this field was also outlined. As such, this review is expected to offer valuable information and fresh perspectives for a broader group of researchers.

Abstract
Synthetic cells function as biological mimics of natural cells by mimicking salient features of cells such as metabolism, response to stimuli, gene expression, direct metabolism, and high stability. Droplet-based microfluidic technology presents the opportunity for encapsulating biological functional components in uni-lamellar liposome or polymer droplets. Verified by its success in the fabrication of synthetic cells, microfluidic technology is widely replacing conventional labor-intensive, expensive, and sophisticated techniques justified by its ability to miniaturize and perform batch production operations. In this review, an overview of recent research on the preparation of synthetic cells through droplet-based microfluidics is provided. Different synthetic cells including lipid vesicles (liposome), polymer vesicles (polymersome), coacervate microdroplets, and colloidosomes, are systematically discussed. Efforts are then made to discuss the design of a variety of microfluidic chips for synthetic cell preparation since the combination of microfluidics with bottom-up synthetic biology allows for reproductive and tunable construction of batches of synthetic cell models from simple structures to higher hierarchical structures. The recent advances aimed at exploiting them in biosensors and other biomedical applications are then discussed. Finally, some perspectives on the challenges and future developments of synthetic cell research with microfluidics for biomimetic science and biomedical applications are provided.

Abstract
The huge economic loss and threat to human health caused by bacterial infection have attracted the public's concern, and there is an urgent need to relieve and improve the tough problem. Therefore, it is significant to establish a facile, rapid, and sensitive method for bacterial detection considering the shortcomings of existing methods. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensors have exhibited immense potential and applicability for bacterial detection given their high signal-to-noise ratio and high sensitivity. This review focuses on the development of FRET-based fluorescence assays for bacterial detection. We summarize the principle of FRET-based assays, discuss the commonly used recognition molecules and further introduce three frequent construction strategies. Based on the strategies and materials, relevant applications are presented. Moreover, some restrictions of FRET fluorescence sensors and development prospects are discussed. Suitable donor-acceptor pairs and stable recognition molecules are the essential conditions for sensors to play their roles, and there is still some room for development. Besides, applying FRET fluorescence sensors to point-of-care detection is still difficult. Future developments could focus on near-infrared fluorescent dyes and simultaneous detection of multiple analytes.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of continuous socio-economic development, there is a growing concern among people about food quality and safety. Individuals are increasingly realizing the critical importance of healthy eating for bodily health; hence the continuous rise in demand for detecting food pollution. Simultaneously, the rapid expansion of global food trade has made people's pursuit of high-quality food more urgent. However, traditional methods of food analysis have certain limitations, mainly manifested in the high degree of reliance on personal subjective judgment for assessing food quality. In this context, the emergence of artificial intelligence and biosensors has provided new possibilities for the evaluation of food quality. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach that involves aggregating data relevant to food quality indices and developing corresponding evaluation models to highlight the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of artificial intelligence and biosensors in food quality evaluation. The potential prospects and challenges of this method in the field of food safety are comprehensively discussed, aiming to provide valuable references for future research and practice.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), as a Gram-positive bacterium, is commonly encountered in various infectious diseases, such as acute skin and soft tissue infections. Despite that many efforts have been made, sensitive and reliable quantitative determination of S. aureus remains a huge challenge. Here, we depict a novel colorimetric approach for sensitive and accurate detection by combining allosteric probe-based target recognition and chain extension-based dual signal recycling. The single-strand DNA (ssDNA) products generated by the chain extension process lead to the liberation of G-quadruplex sequences, which can fold into active DNAzyme under the assistance of hemin. The active DNAzyme can work as peroxidase mimics to catalyze the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS2-)-H2O2 system, causing the color change of the system. Eventually, the method exhibits a wide detection range from 103 cfu/mL to 106 cfu/mL. The limit of detection of the approach was determined 232 cfu/mL. Considering the robust capability of the approach in S. aureus detection, we believe that it will be a potential alternative tool for biomedical research and clinical molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
Rapid identification of pathogens with higher sensitivity and specificity plays a significant role in maintaining public health, environmental monitoring, controlling food quality, and clinical diagnostics. Different methods have been widely used in food testing laboratories, quality control departments in food companies, hospitals, and clinical settings to identify pathogens. Some limitations in current pathogens detection methods are time-consuming, expensive, and laborious sample preparation, making it unsuitable for rapid detection. Microfluidics has emerged as a promising technology for biosensing applications due to its ability to precisely manipulate small volumes of fluids. Microfluidics platforms combined with spectroscopic techniques are capable of developing miniaturized devices that can detect and quantify pathogenic samples. The review focuses on the advancements in microfluidic devices integrated with spectroscopic methods for detecting bacterial microbes over the past five years. The review is based on several spectroscopic techniques, including fluorescence detection, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and dynamic light scattering methods coupled with microfluidic platforms. The key detection principles of different approaches were discussed and summarized. Finally, the future possible directions and challenges in microfluidic-based spectroscopy for isolating and detecting pathogens using the latest innovations were also discussed.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes, a severe foodborne pathogen causing severe diseases underscores the necessity for the development of a detection system with high specificity, sensitivity and utility. Herein, the PoreGlow system, based on split green fluorescent protein (GFP), was developed and assessed for the fast and accurate detection of L. monocytogenes. Split GFP-encapsulated liposomes were optimized for targeted analysis. The system utilizes listeriolysin O (LLO), a toxin produced by L. monocytogenes that enlarges the pores split GFP-encapsulated liposomes, to detect L. monocytogenes by measuring the fluorescent signal generated when the encapsulated GFP is released and reacted with the externally added fragment of the split GFP. The system exhibited a limit of detection of 0.17 μg/ml for LLO toxin and 10 CFU/mL for L. monocytogenes with high sensitivity and specificity and no cross-reactivity with other bacteria. The PoreGlow system is practical, rapid, and does not require sample pre-treatment, making it a promising tool for the early detection of L. monocytogenes in food products, which is crucial for preventing outbreaks and protecting public health.

Abstract
Food safety of aquatic products has attracted considerable attention worldwide. Although a series of conventional bioassays and instrumental methods have been developed for the detection of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metal residues, marine toxins, and biogenic amines during the production and storage of fish, shrimp, crabs et al., the nanotechnology-based analyses still have their advantages and are promising since they are cost-efficient, highly sensitive and selective, easy to conduct, facial design, often require no sophisticated instruments but with excellent detection performance. This review aims to summarize the advances of various biosensing strategies for bacteria, metal ions, and small molecule contaminants in aquatic products during the last five years, The review highlights the development in nanotechnologies applied for biorecognition process, signal transduction and amplification methods in each novel approach, the nuclease-mediated DNA amplification, nanomaterials (noble metal nanoparticle, metal-organic frameworks, carbon dots), lateral flow-based biosensor, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, microfluidic chip, and molecular imprinting technologies were especially emphasized. Moreover, this study provides a view of current accomplishments, challenges, and future development directions of nanotechnology in aquatic product safety evaluation.

Abstract
Microorganisms, encompassing both uni- and multicellular entities, exhibit remarkable diversity as omnipresent life forms in nature. They play a pivotal role by supplying essential components for sustaining biological processes across diverse ecosystems, including higher host organisms. The complex interactions within the human gut microbiota are crucial for metabolic functions, immune responses, and biochemical signalling, particularly through the gut-brain axis. Viruses also play important roles in biological processes, for example by increasing genetic diversity through horizontal gene transfer when replicating inside living cells. On the other hand, infection of the human body by microbiological agents may lead to severe physiological disorders and diseases. Infectious diseases pose a significant burden on global healthcare systems, characterized by substantial variations in the epidemiological landscape. Fast spreading antibiotic resistance or uncontrolled outbreaks of communicable diseases are major challenges at present. Furthermore, delivering field-proven point-of-care diagnostic tools to the most severely affected populations in low-resource settings is particularly important and challenging. New paradigms and technological approaches enabling rapid and informed disease management need to be implemented. In this respect, infectious disease diagnostics taking advantage of microfluidic systems combined with integrated biosensor-based pathogen detection offers a host of innovative and promising solutions. In this review, we aim to outline recent activities and progress in the development of microfluidic diagnostic tools. Our literature research mainly covers the last 5 years. We will follow a classification scheme based on the human body systems primarily involved at the clinical level or on specific pathogen transmission modes. Important diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria, will be addressed more extensively.

Abstract
The gold standard for nucleic acid amplification-based diagnosis is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR recognizes the targets such as foodborne pathogens by amplifying their specific genes. The integration of nucleic acid amplification-based assays on microfluidic platforms represents a highly promising solution for convenient, cheap, and effective control of foodborne pathogens. However, the application of the PCR is limited to on-site detection because the method requires sophisticated equipment for temperature control, which makes it complicated for microfluidic integration. Alternatively, isothermal amplification methods are promising tools for integrating microfluidic platforms for on-site detection of foodborne pathogens. This review summarized advances in isothermal amplification-based microfluidic devices for detecting foodborne pathogens. Different nucleic acid extraction approaches and the integration of these approaches in microfluidic platforms were first reviewed. Microfluidic platforms integrated with three common isothermal amplification methods including loop-mediated isothermal amplification, recombinase polymerase amplification, and recombinase-aided amplification were then described and discussed.

Abstract
Cellular processes are mechanisms carried out at the cellular level that are aimed at guaranteeing the stability of the organism they comprise. The investigation of cellular processes is key to understanding cell fate, understanding pathogenic mechanisms, and developing new therapeutic technologies. Microfluidic platforms are thought to be the most powerful tools among all methodologies for investigating cellular processes because they can integrate almost all types of the existing intracellular and extracellular biomarker-sensing methods and observation approaches for cell behavior, combined with precisely controlled cell culture, manipulation, stimulation, and analysis. Most importantly, microfluidic platforms can realize real-time in situ detection of secreted proteins, exosomes, and other biomarkers produced during cell physiological processes, thereby providing the possibility to draw the whole picture for a cellular process. Owing to their advantages of high throughput, low sample consumption, and precise cell control, microfluidic platforms with real-time in situ monitoring characteristics are widely being used in cell analysis, disease diagnosis, pharmaceutical research, and biological production. This review focuses on the basic concepts, recent progress, and application prospects of microfluidic platforms for real-time in situ monitoring of biomarkers in cellular processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluorescence immunoassays are commonly employed for the detection of pathogenic bacteria as a means of ensuring food safety and preserving public health. However, the challenges such as poor photostability and background interference have limited their sensitivity and accuracy. The emergence of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a label probe offers a promising solution for advancing fluorescence immunoassays owing to their tunable nature. Nonetheless, the low fluorescence efficiency of MOFs and the potential risk of dye leakage pose obstacles to achieving high detection sensitivity. Therefore, there exists a pressing need to fully utilize the potential of MOF composites in fluorescence immunoassays. RESULTS We explored the potential of glucose oxidase-encapsulated zeolitic imidazole framework-90 (GOx@ZIF-90) as a label probe to construct a time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay with amplified detection signal. This immunoassay involved functionalizing Fe3O4 nanoparticle with porcine antibody to specifically capture and separate the target bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The captured S. aureus was then bound by GOx@ZIF-90 modified with vancomycin, resulting in a fluorescence response in the europium tetracycline (EuTc). The encapsulation of GOx in ZIF-90 provided a confinement effect that significantly enhanced the catalytic activity and stability of GOx. This led to a highly efficient conversion of glucose to H2O2, amplifying the fluorescence signal of EuTc. The immunoassay demonstrated a high sensitivity in detecting S. aureus, with a detection limit of 2 CFU/mL. We also obtained satisfactory results in milk samples. Attractively, the time-resolved detection mode of EuTc allowed the immunoassay to eliminate background fluorescence and enhance accuracy. SIGNIFICANCE This study not only presented a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens but also highlighted the potential of enzyme-encapsulated MOF composites as label probes in immunoassays, providing valuable insights for the design and fabrication of MOF composites for various applications.

Abstract
The detection and prediction of pathogenic microorganisms play a crucial role in the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry. Currently, researchers mainly focus on the prediction of water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen for early warning. To provide early warning directly from the pathogenic source, this study proposes an innovative approach for the detection and prediction of pathogenic microorganisms based on yellow croaker aquaculture. Specifically, a method based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is designed to detect the Cryptocaryon irritans (Cri) pathogenic microorganisms. Furthermore, we design a predictive combination model for small samples and high noise data to achieve early warning. After performing wavelet analysis to denoise the data, two data augmentation strategies are used to expand the dataset and then combined with the BP neural network (BPNN) to build the fusion prediction model. To ensure the stability of the detection method, we conduct repeatability and sensitivity tests on the designed qPCR detection technique. To verify the validity of the model, we compare the combined BPNN to long short-term memory (LSTM). The experimental results show that the qPCR method provides accurate quantitative measurement of Cri pathogenic microorganisms, and the combined model achieves a good level. The prediction model demonstrates higher accuracy in predicting Cri pathogenic microorganisms compared to the LSTM method, with evaluation indicators including mean absolute error (MAE), recall rate, and accuracy rate. Especially, the accuracy of early warning is increased by 54.02%.

Abstract
An outbreak of foodborne pathogens would cause severe consequences. Detecting and diagnosing foodborne diseases is crucial for food safety, and it is increasingly important to develop fast, sensitive, and cost-effective methods for detecting foodborne pathogens. In contrast to traditional methods, such as medium-based culture, nucleic acid amplification test, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, electrochemical biosensors possess the advantages of simplicity, rapidity, high sensitivity, miniaturization, and low cost, making them ideal for developing pathogen-sensing devices. The biorecognition layer, consisting of recognition elements, such as aptamers, antibodies and bacteriophages, and other biomolecules or polymers, is the most critical component to determine the selectivity, specificity, reproducibility, and lifetime of a biosensor when detecting pathogens in a biosample. Furthermore, nanomaterials have been frequently used to improve electrochemical biosensors for sensitively detecting foodborne pathogens due to their high conductivity, surface-to-volume ratio, and electrocatalytic activity. In this review, we survey the characteristics of biorecognition elements and nanomaterials in constructing electrochemical biosensors applicable for detecting foodborne pathogens during the past five years. As well as the challenges and opportunities of electrochemical biosensors in the application of foodborne pathogen detection are discussed.

A Hypothetical Approach to Concentrate Microorganisms from Human Urine Samples Using Paper-Based Adsorbents for Point-of-Care Molecular Assays. Life (Basel) 2023; 14:38. [PMID: 38255653 PMCID: PMC10820215 DOI: 10.3390/life14010038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This hypothesis demonstrates that the efficiency of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for nucleic acid detection can be positively influenced by the preconcentration of microbial cells onto hydrophobic paper surfaces. The mechanism of this model is based on the high affinity of microbes towards hydrophobic surfaces. Extensive studies have demonstrated that hydrophobic surfaces exhibit enhanced bacterial and fungal adhesion. By exploiting this inherent affinity of hydrophobic paper substrates, the preconcentration approach enables the adherence of a greater number of target cells, resulting in a higher concentration of target templates for amplification directly from urine samples. In contrast to conventional methods, which often involve complex procedures, this approach offers a simpler, cost-effective, and user-friendly alternative. Moreover, the integration of cell adhesion, LAMP amplification, and signal readout within paper origami-based devices can provide a portable, robust, and highly efficient platform for rapid nucleic acid detection. This innovative hypothesis holds significant potential for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics and field surveillance applications. Further research and development in this field will advance the implementation of this technology, contributing to improved healthcare systems and public health outcomes.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and antibiotic abuse are a global threat to human health. In recent years, there has been a boom in research on antimicrobial agents with low toxicity and efficient nanomaterials. Boric acid-functionalized carbon dots (B-CDs) with negative surface charge were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Covalent bonds were formed between the boric acid groups and the cis-diol groups of the polysaccharide in the bacterial cell wall, and numerous B-CDs were trapped on the bacterial surface. In the experiments of antibacterial activity, B-CDs presented strong bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) with a minimum bactericidal concentration of 12.5 μg/mL. The antibacterial mechanism suggested that B-CDs entered the cell interior by diffusion and posed significant damage to the double helix structure of E. coli DNA. Furthermore, B-CDs exhibited low toxicity. The results demonstrated that the novel antimicrobial B-CDs not only fought against E. coli infection and antibiotic misuse but also provided new ideas for safe and effective antimicrobial agents of carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
Comprehensively understanding the female reproductive system is crucial for safeguarding fertility and preventing diseases concerning women's health. With the capacity to simulate the intricate physio- and patho-conditions, and provide diagnostic platforms, microfluidic chips have fundamentally transformed the knowledge and management of female reproductive health, which will ultimately promote the development of more effective assisted reproductive technologies, treatments, and drug screening approaches. This review elucidates diverse microfluidic systems in mimicking the ovary, fallopian tube, uterus, placenta and cervix, and we delve into the culture of follicles and oocytes, gametes' manipulation, cryopreservation, and permeability especially. We investigate the role of microfluidics in endometriosis and hysteromyoma, and explore their applications in ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. At last, the current status of assisted reproductive technology and integrated microfluidic devices are introduced briefly. Through delineating the multifarious advantages and challenges of the microfluidic technology, we chart a definitive course for future research in the woman health field. As the microfluidic technology continues to evolve and advance, it holds great promise for revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of female reproductive health issues, thus propelling us into a future where we can ultimately optimize the overall wellbeing and health of women everywhere.

Abstract
A novel nucleic acid aptamer nanoprobes-mediated hairpin allosteric and aptamer-assisted CRISPR system for detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus is presented. In this fluorescence assay system, utilizing the hairpin allosteric effect caused by the aptamer binding to the target bacteria, the detection of S. pneumoniae is first achieved through changes in fluorescence due to FRET. Subsequently, a Cas12a protein mixture is added to detect S. aureus. The amplified output signal is triggered by two methods to ensure the sensitivity of the method: the synergistic FRET effect is achieved by the assembly of multi-aptamer through the conjugation of streptavidin-biotin, and the trans-cleavage function of CRISPR/Cas 12a. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed hairpin allosteric aptasensor could achieve high sensitivity (a detection limit of 135 cfu/mL) and broad-concentration quantification (dynamic range of 103-107 cfu/mL) of S. pneumoniae. The aptamer-assisted CRISPR system for S. aureus detection showed good linearity (R2 = 0.996) in the concentration range 102-108 cfu/mL, with a detection limit of 39 cfu/mL. No cross-reactivity with other foodborne pathogenic bacteria was observed in both systems. Taking only 55 min, this method of multiple pathogen detection proved to be promising.

Abstract
The utilization of microfluidic analysis technology has resulted in the advancement of fast pathogenic bacteria detection, which can accurately provide information on biochemical reactions in a single cell and enhance detection efficiency. Nevertheless, the achievement of rapid and effective in situ detection of single-bacteria arrays remains a challenge due to the complexity of bacterial populations and low Reynolds coefficient fluid, resulting in insufficient diffusion. We develop microwell droplet array chips from the lateral hydrodynamic wetting approach to address this issue. The sidewall of the microwell gradually opens which aids in advancing the liquid-air interface and facilitates the impregnation of the solid microwells, preserving the Wenzel state and assisting in resisting the liquid force to separation from the drop. The feasibility of preparing cell arrays and identifying them inside the microwells was demonstrated through the simulated streamlined distribution of gradual and traditional microwells with different sizes. The water-based ink diffusion experiment examined the relationship between diffusion efficiency and flow velocity, as well as the position of the microwell relative to the channel. It showed that the smaller gradual microwell still has a good diffusion efficiency rate at a flow velocity of 2.1 μL min-1 and that the infiltration state is easier to adjust. With this platform, we successfully isolated a mixed population containing E. coli and S. aureus, obtained single-bacteria arrays, and performed Gram assays after in situ propagation. After 20 hours of culture, single bacteria reproduced demonstrating the capability of this platform to isolate, cultivate, and detect pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
In this study, the potential of complex emulsions is investigated as transducers in sensing applications. Complex emulsions are stabilized without external detergents by developing a novel α-cyanostilbene substituted with PEG and semi-perfluoroalkyl chain (CNFCPEG). CNFCPEG exhibits unique variable emission properties depending on its aggregation state, allowing dual blue and green emissions in complex emulsions with hydrocarbon-in-fluorocarbon-in-water (H/F/W) morphology. The green excimer emissions result from the self-assembly of CNFCPEG at the fluorocarbon/water interface, while the blue emission observed is due to aggregation in the organic phase. A novel flow-injection method is developed by incorporating complex emulsions with CNFCPEG into multiple-well flow chips (MWFC). Iodine is successfully detected in a mobile aqueous solution by monitoring morphology changes. The findings demonstrate that self-stabilized complex emulsions with MWFC hold great promise for real-time sensing without costly instruments.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a widely used method for clinical diagnosis, customs quarantine, and disease prevention. However, the low catalytic activity of Bst DNA polymerase has made it challenging to develop rapid and reliable point-of-care testing. Herein, we developed a series of Bst DNA polymerase mutants with enhanced activity by predicting and analyzing the activity sites. Among these mutants, single mutants K431D and K431E showed a 1.93- and 2.03-fold increase in catalytic efficiency, respectively. We also created a chimeric protein by fusing the DNA-binding domain of DNA ligase from Pyrococcus abyssi (DBD), namely DBD-K431E, which enabled real-time LAMP at high temperatures up to 73 ℃ and remained active after heating at 70 ℃ for 8 h. The chimeric DBD-K431E remained active in the presence of 50 U/mL heparin, 10% ethanol, and up to 100 mM NaCl, and showed higher activity in 110 mM (NH4)2SO4, 110 mM KCl, and 12 mM MgSO4. Notably, it generated a fluorescence signal during the detection of Salmonella typhimurium at 2 × 102 ag/μL of genomic DNA and 1.24 CFU/mL of bacterial colony, outperforming the wild type and the commercial counterpart Bst 2.0. Our results suggest that the DBD-K431E variant could be a promising tool for general molecular biology research and clinical diagnostics. KEY POINTS: • Residue K431 is probably a key site of Bst DNA polymerase activity • The chimeric DBD-K431E is more inhibitor tolerant and thermostable than Bst-LF • The DBD-K431E variant can detect Salmonella typhimurium at 102 ag/μL or 100 CFU/mL.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens in water, food, and the environment are spreading diseases around the world. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, waterborne pathogens pose the most significant global health risks to living organisms, including humans and animals. Conventional bacterial detection approaches such as colony counting, microscopic analysis, biochemical analysis, and molecular analysis are expensive, time-consuming, less sensitive, and require a pre-enrichment step. However, the bacteriophage-based detection of pathogenic bacteria is a robust approach that utilizes bacteriophages, which are viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria, for rapid and accurate detection of targets. This review shed light on cutting-edge technologies about the novel structure of phages and the immobilization process on the surface of electrodes to detect targeted bacterial cells. Similarly, the purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive assessment of bacteriophage-based biosensors utilized for pathogen detection, as well as their trends, outcomes, and problems. This review article summaries current phage-based pathogen detection strategies for the development of low-cost lab-on-chip (LOC) and point-of-care (POC) devices using electrochemical and optical methods such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of multiple foodborne pathogens is of great importance for ensuring food safety. Herein, we present a sensitive dual-channel electrochemical biosensor based on copper metal organic frameworks (CuMOF) and lead metal organic framework (PbMOF) for simultaneous detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) and Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). The MOF-based nanotags were prepared by functionalizing gold nanoparticles loaded CuMOF (Au@CuMOF) and PbMOF (Au@PbMOF) with signal DNA sequences 1 (sDNA1) and sDNA2, respectively. By selecting invA of S. typhimurium and inlA gene of L. monocytogenes as targe sequences, a sandwich-typed dual-channel biosensor was developed on glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) through hybridization reactions. The sensitive detection of S. typhimurium and L. monocytogenes was achieved by the direct differential pulse voltametric (DPV) signals of Cu2+ and Pb2+. Under optimal conditions, channel 1 of the biosensor showed linear range for invA gene of S. typhimurium in 1 × 10-14-1 × 10-8 M with low detection limit (LOD) of 3.42 × 10-16 M (S/N = 3), and channel 2 of the biosensor showed linear range for inlA gene of L. monocytogenes in 1 × 10-13-1 × 10-8 M with LOD of 6.11 × 10-15 M (S/N = 3). The dual-channel biosensor showed good selectivity which were used to detect S. typhimurium with linear range of 5-1.0 × 104 CFU mL-1 (LOD of 2.33 CFU mL-1), and L. monocytogenes with linear range of 10 - 1.0 × 104 CFU mL-1 (LOD of 6.61 CFU mL-1).

Abstract
Point-of-care testing of pathogens is vital for prevention of food poisoning. Herein, a colorimetric biosensor was elaborately developed to rapidly and automatically detect Salmonella in a sealed microfluidic chip with one central chamber for housing immunomagnetic nanoparticles (IMNPs), bacterial sample and immune manganese dioxide nanoclusters (IMONCs), four functional chambers for housing absorbent pad, deionized water and H2O2-TMB substrate, and four symmetric peripheral chambers for achieving fluidic control. Four electromagnets were placed under peripheral chambers and synergistically controlled to manipulate their respective iron cylinders at the top of these chambers for deforming these chambers, resulting in precise fluidic control with designated flowrate, volume, direction and time. First, the electromagnets were automatically controlled to mix IMNPs, target bacteria and IMONCs, resulting in the formation of IMNP-bacteria-IMONC conjugates. Then, these conjugates were magnetically separated by a central electromagnet and the supernatant was directionally transferred to the absorbent pad. After these conjugates were washed by deionized water, the H2O2-TMB substrate was directionally transferred to resuspend the conjugates and catalyzed by the IMONCs with peroxidase-mimic activity. Finally, the catalysate was directionally transferred back to its initial chamber, and its color was analyzed by the smartphone APP to determinate bacterial concentration. This biosensor could detect Salmonella quantitatively and automatically in 30 min with a low detection limit of 101 CFU/mL. More importantly, the whole bacterial detection procedure from bacterial separation to result analysis was achieved on a sealed microfluidic chip through multiple electromagnet synergistic control, and this biosensor has great potential for point-of-care testing of pathogens without cross contaminations.

Abstract
In vitro stem cell-derived embryo and organ models, termed embryoids and organoids, respectively, provide promising experimental tools to study physiological and pathological processes in mammalian development and organ formation. Most of current embryoid and organoid systems are developed using conventional three-dimensional cultures that lack controls of spatiotemporal extracellular signals. Microfluidics, an established technology for quantitative controls and quantifications of dynamic chemical and physical environments, has recently been utilized for developing next-generation embryoids and organoids in a controllable and reproducible manner. In this review, we summarize recent progress in constructing microfluidics-based embryoids and organoids. Development of these models demonstrates the successful applications of microfluidics in establishing morphogen gradients, accelerating medium transport, exerting mechanical forces, facilitating tissue coculture studies, and improving assay throughput, thus supporting using microfluidics for building next-generation embryoids and organoids for fundamental and translational research.

Analytical microbiology has made substantial progress since its conception, starting from potato slices, through selective agar media, to engineered surfaces modified with capture probes. While the latter represents the dominant approach in designing sensors for bacteria detection, the importance of sensor surface properties is frequently ignored. Herein, we highlight their significant role in the complex process of bacterial transition from planktonic to sessile, representing the first and critical step in bacteria detection. We present the main surface features and discuss their effect on the bio-solid interface and the resulting sensing capabilities for both flat and particulate systems. The concepts of rationally-designed surfaces for enhanced bacterial detection are presented with recent examples of sensors (capture probe-free) relying solely on surface cues.

Abstract
The field of biosensor development is fueled by innovations in new functional transduction materials and technologies. Material innovations promise to extend current sensor hardware limitations, reduce analysis costs, and ensure broad application of sensor methods. Optical sensors are particularly attractive because they enable sensitive and noninvasive analyte detection in near real-time. Optical transducers convert physical, chemical, or biological events into detectable changes in fluorescence, refractive index, or spectroscopic shifts. Thus, in addition to sophisticated biochemical selector designs, smart transducers can improve signal transmission and amplification, thereby greatly facilitating the practical applicability of biosensors, which, to date, is often hampered by complications such as difficult replication of reproducible selector-analyte interactions within a uniform and consistent sensing area. In this context, stimuli-responsive and optically active Janus emulsions, which are dispersions of kinetically stabilized biphasic fluid droplets, have emerged as a novel triggerable material platform that provides as a versatile and cost-effective alternative for the generation of reproducible, highly sensitive, and modular optical sensing layers. The intrinsic and unprecedented chemical-morphological-optical coupling inside Janus droplets has facilitated optical signal transduction and amplification in various chemo- and biosensor paradigms, which include examples for the rapid and cost-effective detection of major foodborne pathogens. These initial demonstrations resulted in detection limits that rival the capabilities of current commercial platforms. This trend article aims to present a conceptual summary of these initial efforts and to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the pivotal kinetic and thermodynamic principles that govern the ability of Janus droplets to sensitively and selectively respond to and interact with bacteria.

Abstract
A sandwich-structured SERS biosensor has been constructed for simultaneous detection of multiple pathogenic bacteria, consisting of non-interfering SERS probes for bacterial labeling and ConA-functionalizd magnetic nanoparticles for bacteria extraction. A the preparation method of PP3 SERS probe with high Raman activity is reported for the first time. Since the PP3 SERS probe has a very strong Raman peak at 2081 cm-1 in the "Raman silent region," the mixed SERS probe formed with MP1 and DP2 can meet the needs of multiple foodborne pathogen detection. Significantly, S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa can be successfully extracted upon external magnetic field, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 1 CFU‧mL-1, lower than that of the congeneric detectors. This work paves a new way for the construction of a novel detector and absorbent for different bacteria in complex samples by using SERS probe.

Abstract
The detection of pathogens in food substances is of crucial concern for public health and for the safety of the natural environment. Nanomaterials, with their high sensitivity and selectivity have an edge over conventional organic dyes in fluorescent-based detection methods. Advances in microfluidic technology in biosensors have taken place to meet the user criteria of sensitive, inexpensive, user-friendly, and quick detection. In this review, we have summarized the use of fluorescence-based nanomaterials and the latest research approaches towards integrated biosensors, including microsystems containing fluorescence-based detection, various model systems with nano materials, DNA probes, and antibodies. Paper-based lateral-flow test strips and microchips as well as the most-used trapping components are also reviewed, and the possibility of their performance in portable devices evaluated. We also present a current market-available portable system which was developed for food screening and highlight the future direction for the development of fluorescence-based systems for on-site detection and stratification of common foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance remains a global threat with ~ 5 million deaths in 2019 alone and 10 million deaths projected every year by 2050. Current tools employed in the analysis of bacteria can be time inefficient, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. In this work, we develop a microfluidic setup capable of bacteria incubation and detection of growth in ~ 2 h. We fabricated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchips via soft lithography, enclosed microchannels by plasma bonding to glass, and utilized PDMS blocks for simplified connection of devices to a flow system. We generated uniform droplets enclosing zero, one or two bacteria within our devices, and incubated droplet-encapsulated bacteria with 100 × lower concentrations of a fluorescence probe of bacterial growth compared to prior work. We assessed bacterial growth via laser induced fluorescence after room temperature incubation for 2 h and obtained a range of signals corresponding to droplets with or without bacteria. Our devices allow for online droplet incubation, monitoring, detection, and tracking. Developing microfluidic chips for single bacteria studies will improve the analysis and treatment of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Smartphone-derived colorimetric tools have the potential to revolutionize food safety control by enabling citizens to carry out monitoring assays. To realize this, it is of paramount significance to recognize recent study efforts and figure out important technology gaps in terms of food security. Driven by international connectivity and the extensive distribution of smartphones, along with their built-in probes and powerful computing abilities, smartphone-based sensors have shown enormous potential as cost-effective and portable diagnostic scaffolds for point-of-need tests. Meantime, the colorimetric technique is of particular notice because of its benefits of rapidity, simplicity, and high universality. In this study, we tried to outline various colorimetric platforms using smartphone technology, elucidate their principles, and explore their applications in detecting target analytes (pesticide residues, antibiotic residues, metal ions, pathogenic bacteria, toxins, and mycotoxins) considering their sensitivity and multiplexing capability. Challenges and desired future perspectives for cost-effective, accurate, reliable, and multi-functions smartphone-based colorimetric tools have also been debated.

Abstract
Bacterial infections continue to pose serious public health challenges. Though anti-bacterial therapeutics are effective remedies for treating these infections, the emergence of antibiotic resistance has imposed new challenges to treatment. Often, there is a delay in prescribing antibiotics at initial symptom presentation as it can be challenging to clinically differentiate bacterial infections from other organisms (e.g., viruses) causing infection. Moreover, bacterial infections can arise from food, water, or other sources. These challenges have demonstrated the need for rapid identification of bacteria in liquids, food, clinical spaces, and other environments. Conventional methods of bacterial identification rely on culture-based approaches which require long processing times and higher pathogen concentration thresholds. In the past few years, microfluidic devices paired with various bacterial identification methods have garnered attention for addressing the limitations of conventional methods and demonstrating feasibility for rapid bacterial identification with lower biomass thresholds. However, such culture-free methods often require integration of multiple steps from sample preparation to measurement. Research interest in using microfluidic methods for bacterial identification is growing; therefore, this review article is a summary of current advancements in this field with a focus on comparing the efficacy of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and emerging spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
The development of efficient point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tools for detecting infectious diseases caused by destructive pathogens plays an important role in clinical and environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, evolving complex and inconsistent antibiotic-resistant species mire their drug efficacy. In this regard, substantial effort has been expended to develop electrochemical sensors, which have gained significant interest for advancing POC testing with rapid and accurate detection of resistant bacteria at a low cost compared to conventional phenotype methods. This review concentrates on the recent developments in electrochemical sensing techniques that have been applied to assess the diverse latent antibiotic resistances of pathogenic bacteria. It deliberates the prominence of biorecognition probes and tailor-made nanomaterials used in electrochemical antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). In addition, the bimodal functional efficacy of nanomaterials that can serve as potential transducer electrodes and the antimicrobial agent was investigated to meet the current requirements in designing sensor module development. In the final section, we discuss the challenges with contemporary AST sensor techniques and extend the key ideas to meet the demands of the next POC electrochemical sensors and antibiotic design modules in the healthcare sector.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Paper-based analytical devices have prominently emerged as a group of diagnostic tools with prospective to eliminate the expensive, time-consuming, and intricate analytical methodologies. Wax printing has been a dominant technique to fabricate hydrophobic patterns on paper for fluid control, but the discontinuation of commercial solid ink printers has begun a genesis of alternate wax patterning strategies. In this study, a simple and rapid fabrication methodology for realizing a 96-well microtiter plate on paper has been developed. The method involves the use of commercially available polystyrene microplates as a stamp for wax patterning. The technique further eradicates the requirement of customized stamps and the step of heating paper substrates for creating wax barriers. Thus, wax stamped paper microplates can be used for a wide range of bioanalytical tests maneuvering reduced generation of non-biodegradable waste, minimal reagent usage, and inexpensive readout strategies. The viability of the fabricated platform has been assessed by colorimetric detection of glutathione using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine-H2O2 redox system. RGB analysis of the colorimetric response showed a linear concentration range from 0 to 90 µM (R 2 = 0.989) along with a detection limit of 28.375 µM.

Abstract
Airborne crop diseases cause great losses to agricultural production and can affect people's physical health. Timely monitoring of the situation of airborne disease spores and effective prevention and control measures are particularly important. In this study, a two-stage separation and enrichment microfluidic chip with arcuate pretreatment channel was designed for the separation and enrichment of crop disease spores, which was combined with micro Raman for Raman fingerprinting of disease conidia and quasi identification. The chip was mainly composed of arc preprocessing and two separated enriched structures, and the designed chip was numerically simulated using COMSOL multiphysics5.5, with the best enrichment effect at W2/W1 = 1.6 and W4/W3 = 1.1. The spectra were preprocessed with standard normal variables (SNVs) to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, which was baseline corrected using an iterative polynomial fitting method to further improve spectral features. Raman spectra were dimensionally reduced using principal component analysis (PCA) and stability competitive adaptive weighting (SCARS), support vector machine (SVM) and back-propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) were employed to identify fungal spore species, and the best discrimination effect was achieved using the SCARS-SVM model with 94.31% discrimination accuracy. Thus, the microfluidic-chip- and micro-Raman-based methods for spore capture and identification of crop diseases have the potential to be precise, convenient, and low-cost methods for fungal spore detection.

Abstract
Detection of foodborne pathogens at an early stage is very important to control food quality and improve medical response. Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens with high sensitivity and specificity is becoming an urgent requirement in health safety, medical diagnostics, environmental safety, and controlling food quality. Despite the existing bacterial detection methods being reliable and widely used, these methods are time-consuming, expensive, and cumbersome. Therefore, researchers are trying to find new methods by integrating spectroscopy techniques with artificial intelligence and advanced materials. Within this progress report, advances in the detection of foodborne pathogens using spectroscopy techniques are discussed. This paper presents an overview of the progress and application of spectroscopy techniques for the detection of foodborne pathogens, particularly new trends in the past few years, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence spectroscopy, multiangle laser light scattering, and imaging analysis. In addition, the applications of artificial intelligence, microfluidics, smartphone-based techniques, and advanced materials related to spectroscopy for the detection of bacterial pathogens are discussed. Finally, we conclude and discuss possible research prospects in aspects of spectroscopy techniques for the identification and classification of pathogens.

Abstract
Since cancer has emerged as one of the most serious threats to human health, the highly sensitive determination of cancer cells is of significant importance to improve the accuracy of early clinical diagnosis. In our investigation, a novel cascade Fermat spiral microfluidic mixer chip (CFSMMC) combined with fluorescence sensors as a point-of-care (POC) testing system is successfully fabricated to detect and differentiate cancer cells (MCF-7) from normal cells with excellent sensitivity and selectivity. Here, copper ions (Cu2+) with peroxidase properties can catalyze the oxidation of the non-fluorescent substrate Amplex Red (AR) to the highly fluorescent resorufin (ox-AR) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Subsequently, thanks to the quenching response of AS1411-AuNPs to ox-AR in the microchannel and the binding of AS1411 to nucleolin on the surface of cancer cells, a CFSMMC-based POC system is established for the highly sensitive detection and identification of human breast cancer cells in a "turn on" manner. The change in fluorescence intensity is linearly related to the concentration of MCF-7, ranging from 102 to 107 cells per mL with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 17 cells per mL. Interestingly, the cascaded AND logic gate is integrated with CFSMMC for the first time to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells under the control of logic functions, which exhibits great potential in the development of one-step rapid and intelligent detection and logic discrimination.

Abstract
The organ-on-a-chip (OoC) paves a way for biomedical applications ranging from preclinical to clinical translational precision. The current trends in the in vitro modeling is to reduce the complexity of human organ anatomy to the fundamental cellular microanatomy as an alternative of recreating the entire cell milieu that allows systematic analysis of medicinal absorption of compounds, metabolism, and mechanistic investigation. The OoC devices accurately represent human physiology in vitro; however, it is vital to choose the correct chip materials. The potential chip materials include inorganic, elastomeric, thermoplastic, natural, and hybrid materials. Despite the fact that polydimethylsiloxane is the most commonly utilized polymer for OoC and microphysiological systems, substitute materials have been continuously developed for its advanced applications. The evaluation of human physiological status can help to demonstrate using noninvasive OoC materials in real-time procedures. Therefore, this Review examines the materials used for fabricating OoC devices, the application-oriented pros and cons, possessions for device fabrication and biocompatibility, as well as their potential for downstream biochemical surface alteration and commercialization. The convergence of emerging approaches, such as advanced materials, artificial intelligence, machine learning, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, and genomics, have the potential to perform OoC technology at next generation. Thus, OoC technologies provide easy and precise methodologies in cost-effective clinical monitoring and treatment using standardized protocols, at even personalized levels. Because of the inherent utilization of the integrated materials, employing the OoC with biomedical approaches will be a promising methodology in the healthcare industry.

Abstract
In today's world, which is entangled with numerous foodborne pathogenic bacteria and viruses, it appears to be essential to rethink detection methods of these due to the importance of food safety in our lives. The vast majority of detection methods for foodborne pathogenic bacteria and viruses have suffered from sensitivity and selectivity due to the small size of these pathogens. Besides, these types of sensing approaches can improve on-site detection platforms in the fields of food safety. In recent, microfluidics systems as new emerging types of portable sensing approaches can introduce efficient and simple biodevice by integration with several analytical methods such as electrochemical, optical and colorimetric techniques. Additionally, taking advantage of aptamer as a selective bioreceptor in the sensing of microfluidics system has provided selective, sensitive, portable and affordable sensing approaches. Furthermore, some papers use increased data transferability ability and computational power of these sensing platforms by exploiting smartphones. In this review, we attempted to provide an overview of the current state of the recent aptasensor based on microfluidic for screening of foodborne pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Working strategies, benefits and disadvantages of these sensing approaches are briefly discussed.
