Abstract
Technological advances in the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have made new options available for diagnosis, classification, biological studies, and treatment selection. However, effective and practical methods for analyzing this emerging class of biomarkers are still lacking. In this work, a fluorescent biosensor was designed for the label-free detection of ctDNA (EGFR 19 del for non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC). The biosensor was based on the fact that MnO2 nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) have stronger affinity towards single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), as compared with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). As a high-performance nanoenzyme, MnO2 NSs could oxidize dopamine (DA) into fluorescent polydopamine nanoparticles (FL-PDA NPs), which could be used as a fluorescence signal. The probe ssDNA could be adsorbed on the surface of MnO2 NSs through π-π stacking, and the active site would be masked, causing a lower fluorescence. After the targets were recognized by probe ssDNA to form dsDNA, its affinity for MnO2 NSs decreased and the active site recovered, causing a restored fluorescence. It was verified that Mn ions, •OH radicals and electron transfer were the important factors in the catalytic oxidation of DA. Under the optimal experimental conditions, this biosensor exhibited a detection limit of 380 pM and a linear range of 25-125 nM, providing reliable readout in a short time (45 min). This sensor exhibited outstanding specificity, stability and reproducibility. In addition, this sensor was applied to the detection of ctDNA in serum samples and cell lysates. It is demonstrated that FL-PDA NPs can be used as a fluorescence signal for easy, rapid and label-free detection of ctDNA without any other amplification strategies, and the proposed strategy has great potential for biomarker detection in the field of liquid biopsy.

Abstract
T4 polynucleotide kinase phosphatase (T4 PNKP) plays a critical role in various cellular events, such as DNA damage repair, replication, and recombination. Here, we have described a novel biosensor to detect the activity of T4 PNKP based on polydopamine nanotubes (PDANTs) mediated fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). A FAM-labelled (6-carboxyl-fluorescein) hairpin DNA probe with 3'-phosphoryl terminal was designed as the substrate for T4 PNKP. With the addition of PDANTs, the fluorescence of FAM-labelled hairpin DNA probe could be quenched because of the high adsorption of hairpin DNA on PDANTs. When T4 PNKP dephosphorylated the DNA probe, a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) product was obtained by Klenow fragment polymerase (KF polymerase) on its 3'-hydroxyl terminal, which could retain most of the fluorescence due to the week adsorption of dsDNA on PDANTs. The developed method demonstrates the sensitivity for T4 PNKP assay in the range from 0.05 to 1.5 U mL-1 with the detection limit of 0.005 U mL-1, which endows the proposed strategy with high enough sensitivity for practical detection in cell lysates. With the advantages mentioned above, this novel sensitive strategy has the potential in the study of DNA damage repair mechanisms.

Abstract
Nucleic acid detection is of great importance in a variety of areas, from life science and clinical diagnosis to environmental monitoring and food safety. Unfortunately, nucleic acid targets are always found in trace amounts and their response signals are difficult to be detected. Amplification mechanisms are then practically needed to either duplicate nucleic acid targets or enhance the detection signals. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most popular and powerful techniques for nucleic acid analysis. But the requirement of costly devices for precise thermo-cycling procedures in PCR has severely hampered the wide applications of PCR. Fortunately, isothermal molecular reactions have emerged as promising alternatives. The past decade has witnessed significant progress in the research of isothermal molecular reactions utilizing hairpin DNA probes (HDPs). Based on the nucleic acid strand interaction mechanisms, the hairpin DNA-mediated isothermal amplification (HDMIA) techniques can be mainly divided into three categories: strand assembly reactions, strand decomposition reactions, and strand creation reactions. In this review, we introduce the basics of HDMIA methods, including the sensing principles, the basic and advanced designs, and their wide applications, especially those benefiting from the utilization of G-quadruplexes and nanomaterials during the past decade. We also discuss the current challenges encountered, highlight the potential solutions, and point out the possible future directions in this prosperous research area.

Abstract
The authors describe a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure loaded with SYBR Green (SG-TDN) for fluorometric determination of nucleic acids. After intercalating into the TDN, fluorescence of SG is enhanced by 260-fold (exc 480 nm, em 524 nm), and the resulting SG-TDN nanoflare displays >7-fold stronger fluorescence than that of FAM-labeled TDN. The SG-TDNs were coupled to magnetic microparticles and polydopamine nanoparticles to construct multi-functional nanoprobes through sequence hybridization using a toehold strand. The method was applied to detect a stretch of microRNA sequence (20 bp) in buffer and in undiluted serum with excellent selectivity, over a wide linear range and with a low limit of detection (0.2 nM). The probe was also applied for visualization of tumor-related microRNA in living cells via fluorescence imaging.
