Abstract
Cancer, which presents with high incidence and mortality rates, has become a significant health threat worldwide. However, there is currently no effective solution for rapid screening and high-quality treatment of early-stage cancer patients. Metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs), as a new type of compound with stable properties, convenient synthesis, high efficiency, and few adverse reactions, have become highly competitive tools for early cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, challenges such as the difference between the microenvironment of detected markers and the real-life body fluids remain in achieving widespread clinical application of MNPs. This review provides a comprehensive review of the research progress made in the field of in vitro cancer diagnosis using metal-based nanoparticles. By delving into the characteristics and advantages of these materials, this paper aims to inspire and guide researchers towards fully exploiting the potential of metal-based nanoparticles in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
This review paper presents the recent developments in spectroelectrochemical (SEC) technologies. The coupling of spectroscopy and electrochemistry enables SEC to do a detailed and comprehensive study of the electron transfer kinetics and vibrational spectroscopic fingerprint of analytes during electrochemical reactions. Though SEC is a promising technique, the usage of SEC techniques is still limited. Therefore, enough publicity for SEC is required, considering the promising potential in the analysis fields. Unlike previously published review papers primarily focused on the relatively frequently used SEC techniques (ultraviolet-visible SEC and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy SEC), the two not-frequently used but promising techniques (nuclear magnetic resonance SEC and dark-field microscopy SEC) have also been studied in detail. This review paper not only focuses on the applications of each SEC method but also details their primary working mechanism. In short, this paper summarizes each SEC technique's working principles, current applications, challenges encountered, and future development directions. In addition, each SEC technique's applicative research directions are detailed and compared in this review work. Furthermore, integrating SEC techniques into microfluidics is becoming a trend in minimized analysis devices. Therefore, the usage of SEC techniques in microfluidics is discussed.

Abstract
Infectious outbreaks are the foremost global public health concern, challenging the current healthcare system, which claims millions of lives annually. The most crucial way to control an infectious outbreak is by early detection through point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. POC diagnostics are highly advantageous owing to the prompt diagnosis, which is economical, simple and highly efficient with remote access capabilities. In particular, utilization of nanomaterials to architect POC devices has enabled highly integrated and portable (compact) devices with enhanced efficiency. As such, this review will detail the factors influencing the emergence of infectious diseases and methods for fast and accurate detection, thus elucidating the underlying factors of these infections. Furthermore, it comprehensively highlights the importance of different nanomaterials in POCs to detect nucleic acid, whole pathogens, proteins and antibody detection systems. Finally, we summarize findings reported on nanomaterials based on advanced POCs such as lab-on-chip, lab-on-disc-devices, point-of-action and hospital-on-chip. To this end, we discuss the challenges, potential solutions, prospects of integrating internet-of-things, artificial intelligence, 5G communications and data clouding to achieve intelligent POCs.

Engineering entropy-driven based multiple signal amplification strategy for visualized assay of miRNA by naked eye. Talanta 2021; 235:122810.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are currently recognized as novel biomarkers for cancer early diagnosis, therapy selection, and progression monitoring. Herein, we developed an ultrasensitive and label-free homogeneous colorimetric strategy for miRNA detection based on engineering entropy-driven amplification (EDA) coupled with nicking enzyme-assisted AuNP aggregation. In our design, the target miRNA could specifically trigger the EDA recycling process. One of the EDA products could open the hairpin probe and form a dual strand containing a nicking endonuclease (Nb.BbvCl) cleavage region. After adding nicking endonuclease in the sensing solution, the product DNA fragments could act as two linkers, inducing the aggregation of ssDNA-modified AuNPs. Simultaneously, the liberating complementary strands continued to cyclic hybridization with the hairpin probe. This multiple signal amplification colorimetric strategy showed a wide linear range from 10 fM to 100 pM with a much lower detection limit of 3.13 fM for miRNA let-7a, which also performed well in a complex sample matrix. Most importantly, the naked eye could clearly distinguish the 10 fM color change caused by let-7a to be measured. Moreover, this approach could easily extend to multiple miRNAs with target-specific sequence substitutions. Therefore, this ultrasensitive visual strategy for miRNA demonstrated attractive potentials for promising applications in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Overexpressed or underexpressed as well as mutated nucleic acids have been implicated in many diseases. Therefore, nucleic acid tests (NATs) are extremely important. Inspired by intracellular DNA replication and RNA transcription, in vitro NATs have been extensively developed to improve the detection specificity, sensitivity, and simplicity. The principles of NATs can be in general classified into three categories: nucleic acid hybridization, thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification, and signal amplification. Driven by pressing needs in clinical diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, NATs have evolved to be a rapidly advancing field. During the past ten years, an explosive increase of research interest in both basic research and clinical translation has been witnessed. In this review, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the progress to analyze nucleic acids, use nucleic acids as recognition probes, construct detection devices based on nucleic acids, and utilize nucleic acids in clinical diagnosis and other important fields. We also discuss the new frontiers in the field and the challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
The biology of the late twentieth century was marked by the discovery in 1993 of a new class of small non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) which play major roles in regulating the translation and degradation of messenger RNAs. These small RNAs (18-25 nucleotides), called microRNAs (miRNAs), are implied in several biological processes such as differentiation, metabolic homeostasis, or cellular apoptosis and proliferation. The discovery in 2008 that the presence of miRNAs in body fluids could be correlated with cancer (prostate, breast, colon, lung, etc.) or other diseases (diabetes, heart diseases, etc.) has made them new key players as biomarkers. Therefore, miRNA detection is of considerable significance in both disease diagnosis and in the study of miRNA function. Until these days, more than 1200 miRNAs have been identified. However, traditional methods developed for conventional DNA does not apply satisfactorily for miRNA, in particular due to the low expression level of these miRNA in biofluids, and because they are very short strands. Electrochemical biosensors can provide this sensitivity and also offer the advantages of mass fabrication, low-cost, and potential decentralized analysis, which has wide application for microRNAs sensing, with many promising results already reported. The present review summarizes some newly developed electrochemical miRNA detection methods.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with unclear pathogenesis, for which diagnosis has been a great challenge. Recent researches have revealed that miR-3675-3p is a promising biomarker for IPF diagnosis. Herein, the present work describes a novel electrochemical microRNA biosensor for rapid and sensitive detection of miR-3675-3p based on multiple signal amplification strategies. First of all, fullerene (C60) is doped with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM)-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) to form a new nanohybrid of C60@PAMAM-MOF, which exhibits more remarkable redox activity compared with the other two synthesized C60-based nanohybrids when triggered by tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB). C60@PAMAM-MOF also possesses a large specific surface area and abundant amino groups to anchor Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the immobilization of signal probe (SP) to form tracer label and enhance the electrochemical response signal. In addition, core@shell Au-Pt nanoparticles (Au@PtNPs) are absorbed on chitosan-acetylene black (CS-AB) to act as sensing platform, which can promote electron transfer and increase the loading of capture probe (CP). Under optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor displays a wide linear range for miR-3675-3p from 10 fM to 10 nM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 2.99 fM. More significantly, this biosensor shows a lower LOD and wider linear range than that of qRT-PCR, and its trial application in human serum shows favorable results, which exhibits a promising prospect for IPF diagnosis.

Abstract
With revolutionary advances in next-generation sequencing, the human transcriptome has been comprehensively interrogated. These discoveries have highlighted the emerging functional and regulatory roles of a large fraction of RNAs suggesting the potential they might hold as stable and minimally invasive disease biomarkers. Although a plethora of molecular-biology- and biosensor-based RNA-detection strategies have been developed, clinical application of most of these is yet to be realized. Multifunctional nanomaterials coupled with sensitive and robust electrochemical readouts may prove useful in these applications. Here, we summarize the major contributions of engineered nanomaterials-based electrochemical biosensing strategies for the analysis of miRNAs. With special emphasis on nanostructure-based detection, this review also chronicles the needs and challenges of miRNA detection and provides a future perspective on the presented strategies.

Abstract
High-throughput profiling/sensing of nucleic acids has recently emerged as a highly promising strategy for the early diagnosis and improved prognosis of a broad range of pathologies, most notably cancer. Among the potential biomarker candidates, microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs of 19-25 nucleotides in length, are of particular interest due to their role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Developing miRNA sensing technologies that are quantitative, ultrasensitive and highly specific has proven very challenging because of their small size, low natural abundance and the high degree of sequence similarity among family members. When compared to optical based methods, electrochemical sensors offer many advantages in terms of sensitivity and scalability. This non-comprehensive review aims to break-down and highlight some of the most promising strategies for electrochemical sensing of microRNA biomarkers.

Abstract
miRNAs have emerged as new biomarkers for the detection of a wide variety of cancers. By employing duplex-specific nuclease for signal amplification and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the carriers of detection probes, a novel electrochemical assay of miRNAs was performed. The method is based on conversion of the well-known colorimetric assay into electrochemical analysis with enhanced sensitivity. DNA capture probes immobilized on the electrode surface and ferrocene (Fc)-labeled DNA detection probes (denoted "Fc-DNA-Fc") presented in the solution induced the assembly of positively charged AuNPs on the electrode surface through the electrostatic interaction. As a result, a large number of Fc-DNA-Fc molecules were attached on the electrode surface, thus amplifying the electrochemical signal. When duplex-specific nuclease was added to recycle the process of miRNA-initiated digestion of the immobilized DNA probes, Fc-DNA-Fc-induced assembly of AuNPs on the electrode surface could not occur. This resulted in a significant fall in the oxidation current of Fc. The current was found to be inversely proportional to the concentration of miRNAs in the range of 0-25 fM, and a detection limit of 0.1 fM was achieved. Moreover, this work presents a new method for converting colorimetric assays into sensitive electrochemical analyses, and thus would be valuable for design of novel chemical/biosensors.

Abstract
Development of ultrasensitive method for Hg2+ analysis is important for human health protection and environment monitoring. In this work, we present a highly sensitive and selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay in a "turn-on" mode for the detection of Hg2+ through selective assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. In the absence of Hg2+, the nonthiolated ssDNA could protected AuNPs against its assembly on ITO surface, producing rather low ECL emission for Ru(bpy)32+/TPA system. Conversely, binding of Hg2+ with the Hg2+-specific oligonucleotide through thymine-Hg2+-thymine coordination formed the double-stranded structure, which could not effectively adsorb to AuNPs in solution. The assembly of free-state AuNPs is achieved, which well preserves electronical conductivity. The presence of AuNPs can catalyze the electro-oxidation of TPA, producing significantly enhanced ECL signal. Through detecting the ECL signal mediated by assembly of AuNPs, the proposed method was able to ensure substantial signal amplification and a low background. It was demonstrated that the ECL intensity was correlated with the ssDNA-based recognition reaction, enabling quantitative analysis of Hg2+ over the range of 8pM to 2nM, with a detection limit of 2pM. ECL intensity of the system were extremely specific for Hg2+ even in the presence of 1000-fold higher concentrations of other metal ions. Analytical results of Hg2+ spiked into water samples by the proposed ECL method were in good agreement with that obtained by atomic fluorescent spectrometry or mass spectrometry data.
