Abstract
Sensitive and efficient monitoring of food-borne bacteria is of great importance for food safety control. Herein, a novel biosensor for highly sensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was constructed by combining hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and nicking enzyme. Different from the upstream-downstream based circuit, the proposed biosensor integrated HCR circuit and three-way DNA junction nicking enzyme assisted signal amplification (3WJ-NEASA) into a virtuous circle of promotion. In the HCR-mediated 3WJ-NEASA sensing strategy, target DNA of S. aureus initiated the self-assembly between HCR hairpins (H1 and H2), which exposed the gap to capture molecular beacon (MB) and construct the 3WJ structure. Meanwhile, MB increased the stability of HCR nanowires and enhanced the efficiency of the HCR circuit, and thus more 3WJ-NEASA circuits were generated in HCR nanowires. Benefiting from the synergistic amplification coupling HCR and 3WJ-NEASA, this isothermal biosensor can detect as low as 6.7 pM of target DNA in one step within only 30 min. Furthermore, the HCR-mediated 3WJ-NEASA assay has been applied in the detection of S. aureus with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1.2 × 101 cfu mL-1, and has exhibited reliable practicability in spiked milk. It is the first time that a DNA biosensor combining HCR and 3WJ-NEASA for dual signal amplification was developed and has been adopted to the sensitive analysis of food-borne bacteria. Additionally, this strategy can serve as a universal platform for monitoring other analytes, and therefore possesses broad application prospects in food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
DNA repair is now understood to play a key role in a variety of disease states, most notably cancer. Tools for studying DNA have typically relied on traditional biochemical methods which are often laborious and indirect. Efforts to study the biology and therapeutic relevance of DNA repair pathways can be limited by such methods. Recently, specific fluorescent probes have been developed to aid in the study of DNA repair. Fluorescent probes offer the advantage of being able to directly assay for DNA repair activity in a simple, mix-and-measure format. This review will summarize the distinct classes of probe designs and their potential utility in varied research and preclinical settings.

Abstract
Isothermal amplification of nucleic acids is a simple process that rapidly and efficiently accumulates nucleic acid sequences at constant temperature. Since the early 1990s, various isothermal amplification techniques have been developed as alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These isothermal amplification methods have been used for biosensing targets such as DNA, RNA, cells, proteins, small molecules, and ions. The applications of these techniques for in situ or intracellular bioimaging and sequencing have been amply demonstrated. Amplicons produced by isothermal amplification methods have also been utilized to construct versatile nucleic acid nanomaterials for promising applications in biomedicine, bioimaging, and biosensing. The integration of isothermal amplification into microsystems or portable devices improves nucleic acid-based on-site assays and confers high sensitivity. Single-cell and single-molecule analyses have also been implemented based on integrated microfluidic systems. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the isothermal amplification of nucleic acids encompassing work published in the past two decades. First, different isothermal amplification techniques are classified into three types based on reaction kinetics. Then, we summarize the applications of isothermal amplification in bioanalysis, diagnostics, nanotechnology, materials science, and device integration. Finally, several challenges and perspectives in the field are discussed.

Abstract
We designed and tested a system that allows DNA logic gates to respond multiple times to the addition of oligonucleotide inputs. After producing an output signal, the system spontaneously resets to the background state. This system does not require any operator action to achieve reset of a DNA logic gate, and may become useful for construction of reusable DNA-based computational devices.
