Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play several crucial roles in the physiological and pathological processes of the human body. They are considered as important biomarkers for the diagnosis of various disorders. Thus, rapid, sensitive, selective, and affordable detection of miRNAs is of great importance. However, the small size, low abundance, and highly similar sequences of miRNAs impose major challenges to their accurate detection in biological samples. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been applied as promising sensing materials for the fabrication of different biosensors due to their distinctive characteristics, such as high porosity and surface area, tunable pores, outstanding adsorption affinities, and ease of functionalization. In this review, the applications of MOFs and MOF-derived materials in the fabrication of fluorescence, electrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescent, and photoelectrochemical biosensors for the detection of miRNAs and their detection principle and analytical performance are discussed. This paper attempts to provide readers with a comprehensive knowledge of the fabrication and sensing mechanisms of miRNA detection platforms.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, methods for detecting miRNAs with high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability are urgently needed. Various nucleic acid probes that have traditionally been for this purpose suffer several drawbacks, including inefficient signal-to-noise ratios and intensities, high cost, and time-consuming method establishment. Computing tools used for investigating the thermodynamics of DNA hybridization reactions can accurately predict the secondary structure of DNA and the interactions between DNA molecules. Herein, NUPACK was used to design a series of nucleic acid probes and develop a phosphorothioated-terminal hairpin formation and self-priming extension (PS-THSP) signal amplification strategy, which enabled the ultrasensitive detection of miR-200a in serum samples. The free and binding energies of the DNA detection probes calculated using NUPACK, as well as the biological experimental results, were considered synthetically to select the best sequence and experimental conditions. A unified dynamic programming framework, NUPACK analysis and the experimental data, were complementary and improved the designed model in all respects. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using computer technology such as NUPACK to simplify the experimental process and provide intuitive results.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is involved in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and emerges as a promising AD biomarker and therapeutic target. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop convenient and precise miRNA detection methods for AD diagnosis. Herein, a dual-signal amplification strategy based on rolling circle amplification and APE1-assisted amplification for miRNA analysis for early diagnosis of AD was proposed. The strategy consisted of dumbbell-shaped probe (DP) as amplification template and a reporter probe (RP) with an AP site modification. In the presence of the target miRNA, the miRNAs bound to the toehold domain of DP and DP was activated into a circular template. Then, RCA reaction was triggered, producing a large number of long-stranded products containing repeated sequences. After RCA, APE1 enzyme recognized and removed AP site in the complex of RCA/RP products. By coupling RCA with APE1-assisted amplification, this method has high sensitivity with the limit of detection (LOD) of 1.82 fM. Moreover, by using DP as template for RCA reaction, high specificity can be achieved. By detecting miR-206 in serum using this method, the expression of miR-206 can be accurately distinguished between AD patients and healthy individuals, indicating that this method has broad application prospects in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Exosomes are closely associated with tumor development and are regarded as viable biomarkers for cancer. Here, a ratiometric fluorescence method was proposed for the one-step and label-free detection of plasma exosomes. A bicolor streptavidin magnetic beads were specifically created with an immobilized Cy5-labeled hairpin aptamer for CD63 (Cy5-Apt) on its surface to identify exosome, and a green color SYBR Green I (SGI) embedded in the stem of Cy5-Apt to respond to exosomes. After exosome capture, the Cy5-Apt could undergo a conformational shift and release the encapsulated SGI, allowing exosome measurement based on the fluorescence ratio of Cy5 and SGI. The enrichment, separation and detection of exosomes in proposed method could be completed in one step (30 min), which is a significant improvement over previous method. Furthermore, the use of ratiometric fluorescence and magnetic separation allows for exosome enrichment and interference elimination from complex matrices, improving accuracy and sensitivity. Particularly, the assay could detect exosomes in plasma and has potential to distinguish lung cancer patients from healthy volunteers with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 0.85. Besides, the study provided an efficient method for analyzing the various divisions of exosomes by merely modifying the aptamer, which holds great promise for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are valuable biomarkers closely associated with cancer progression. Therefore, sensitive and specific exosomal miRNA biosensing has been employed for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction. In this study, a miRNA-based DNA nanonet assembly strategy is proposed, enabling the biosensing of exosomal miRNAs through dumbbell dual-hairpin under isothermal enzyme-free conditions. This strategy dexterously designs a specific dumbbell dual-hairpin that can selectively recognize exosomal miRNA, inducing conformational changes to cascade-generated X-shaped DNA structures, facilitating the extension of the X-shaped DNA in three-dimensional space, ultimately forming a DNA nanonet assembly. On the basis of the target miRNA, our design enriches the fluorescence signal through the cascade assembly of DNA nanonet and realizes the secondary signal amplification. Using exosomal miR-141 as the target, the resultant fluorescence sensing demonstrates an impressive detection limit of 57.6 pM and could identify miRNA sequences with single-base variants with high specificity. Through the analysis of plasma and urine samples, this method effectively distinguishes between benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and metastatic prostate cancer. Serving as a novel noninvasive and accurate screening and diagnostic tool for prostate cancer, this dumbbell dual-hairpin triggered DNA nanonet assembly strategy is promising for clinical applications.

Abstract
Bacillus anthracis spores can cause contagious anthrax, so it is significant for the public safety to detect its biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA). Ratiometric fluorescent probes for DPA have attracted great interest because of the self-calibration effect, but they suffer from the complicated construction of dual-emitting materials. With combining fluorescence and second-order scattering (SOS), Eu-doped Zn-based metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) was here designed as a ratiometric probe for DPA, avoiding the completed construction of dual-emitting materials. Eu-doped ZIF-8 exhibited no fluorescence but possessed strong SOS ascribed to the nanostructure. However, the competitive coordination of DPA not only triggered the antenna effect of Eu3+ but also caused the decomposition of Eu-doped ZIF-8. As a consequence, the fluorescence enhancement and the SOS weakness were observed upon the addition of DPA to Eu-doped ZIF-8. And thus, a ratiometric probe for DPA was constructed based on Eu-doped ZIF-8 by integrating fluorescence with SOS. The probe as-constructed could quantify DPA in a wide range of 0.1-150 μM with a rapid response (1 min) and a low detection limit (31 nM). It also displayed excellent manifestation for the analysis of food samples with reasonable accuracy (recoveries, 90.0%-101.5%) and satisfactory precision (RSDs, 0.6%-5.7%), offering a reliable tool for the supervision of the public safety.

Abstract
Herein, an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced enzyme-catalyzed cascade reaction system based on metal-organic framework/alkaline phosphatase (MOF/ALP) nanocomposites was designed to establish a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) biosensor for use in rapid, sensitive ATP detection. Numerous ALP molecules were first encapsulated using ZIF-90 to temporarily deactivate the enzyme activity, similar to a lock. Au nanostars (AuNSs), as SERS-enhancing substrates, were combined with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to form AuNSs@OPD, which could significantly improve the Raman signal of OPD. When the target ATP interacted with the MOF/ALP nanocomposites, ATP could act as a key to open the MOF structure, releasing ALP, which should further catalyze the conversion of OPD to oxOPD with the aid of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. Therefore, with the increasing concentrations of ATP, more ALP was released to catalyze the conversion of OPD, resulting in the reduced intensity of the Raman peak at 1262 cm-1, corresponding to the level of OPD. Based on this principle, the ATP-induced enzyme-catalyzed cascade reaction SERS biosensor enabled the ultrasensitive detection of ATP, with a low detection limit of 0.075 pM. Consequently, this study provides a novel strategy for use in the ultrasensitive, rapid detection of ATP, which displays considerable potential for application in the fields of biomedicine and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a class of crystalline microporous materials have been into research limelight lately due to their commendable physio-chemical properties and easy fabrication methods. They have enormous surface area which can be a working ground for innumerable molecule adhesions and site for potential sensor matrices. Their biocompatibility makes them valuable for in vitro detection systems but a compromised conductivity requires a lot of surface engineering of these molecules for their usage in electrochemical biosensors. However, they are not just restricted to a single type of transduction system rather can also be modified to achieve feat as optical (colorimetry, luminescence) and electro-luminescent biosensors. This review emphasizes on recent advancements in the area of MOF-based biosensors with focus on various MOF synthesis methods and their general properties along with selective attention to electrochemical, optical and opto-electrochemical hybrid biosensors. It also summarizes MOF-based biosensors for monitoring free radicals, metal ions, small molecules, macromolecules and cells in a wide range of real matrices. Extensive tables have been included for understanding recent trends in the field of MOF-composite probe fabrication. The article sums up the future scope of these materials in the field of biosensors and enlightens the reader with recent trends for future research scope.

Herein, we developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) self-accelerated DNA walker (SADW) which progressively expedite walking rate by unlocking the more walking arm continuously in walker process to construct electrochemical biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA. Particularly, we skillfully introduced a target analogue sequence in the double-loop hairpin, which could be released in the walking process of SADW, then rapidly activating more silenced walking strands to achieve the continuous self-acceleration, resulting in the expedited reaction rate. Surprisingly, the average reaction rate of SADW was quite higher than that of traditional 3D self-circulating DNA walkers (DW) under pretty low target miRNA concentration, which is ascribed to the outstanding acceleration process of the SADW, readily conquering the major predicaments of DW in detecting target with traces concentration: slow reaction rate and low sensitivity. This way, the elaborated SADW is favorably applied in the ultrasensitive and rapid detection of miRNA-21 in tumor cancer cell lysates with a detection limit down to 5.81 aM which was far from lower than the detection limit of DW. This approach develops the novel generation of widespread strategy for the applications in clinic diagnose, biosensing assay, and DNA nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Nucleic acid plays a crucial role in countless biological processes. Hence, there is great interest in its detection and analysis in various fields from chemistry, biology, to medicine. Nanoporous crystalline materials exhibit enormous potential as an effective platform for nucleic acid recognition and application. These materials have highly ordered and uniform pore structures, as well as adjustable surface chemistry and pore size, making them good carriers for nucleic acid extraction, detection, and delivery. In this review, the latest developments in nanoporous crystalline materials, including metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) for nucleic acid recognition and applications are discussed. Different strategies for functionalizing these materials are explored to specifically identify nucleic acid targets. Their applications in selective separation and detection of nucleic acids are highlighted. They can also be used as DNA/RNA sensors, gene delivery agents, host DNAzymes, and in DNA-based computing. Other applications include catalysis, data storage, and biomimetics. The development of novel nanoporous crystalline materials with enhanced biocompatibility has opened up new avenues in the fields of nucleic acid analysis and therapy, paving the way for the development of sensitive, selective, and cost-effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools with widespread applications.

Abstract
Highly sensitive monitoring of cancer-related miRNAs is of great significance for tumor diagnosis. Herein, catalytic probes based on DNA-functionalized Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) were prepared in this work. The aggregation-induced emission-active Au nanoclusters showed an interesting phenomenon of aggregation induced emission (AIE) affected by the aggregation state. Leveraging this property, the AIE-active AuNCs were used to develop catalytic turn-on probes for detecting in vivo cancer-related miRNA based on a hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The target miRNA triggered the HCR and induced aggregation of AIE-active AuNCs, leading to a highly luminescent signal. The catalytic approach demonstrated a remarkable selectivity and a low detection limit in comparison to noncatalytic sensing signals. In addition, the excellent delivery the ability of MnO2 carrier made it possible to use the probes for intracellular imaging and in vivo imaging. Effective in situ visualization of miR-21 was achieved not only in living cells but also in tumors in living animals. This approach potentially offers a novel method for obtaining information for tumor diagnosis via highly sensitive cancer-related miRNA imaging in vivo.

Abstract
Developing a theranostic platform integrating precise diagnostic and efficient treatment is significant but challenging. Here, we reported a new theranostic platform - hairpin probe - photosensitizing MOFs (HPMOF) composed of photosensitizing MOFs (PMOFs) and hairpin probes labeled with fluorophore and quencher, in which PMOF played the role of photosensitizer and nanocarrier of the hairpin probe. The HPMOF was covered with a layer of ZIF-8 to achieve the dual-layered nanotheranostics (HPMOF@ZIF-8). The HPMOF@ZIF-8 achieved high DNA loading capacity and intracellular delivery for tumor-related miRNA imaging. Moreover, HPMOF@ZIF-8 could generate reactive oxygen species with high efficiency, which induced cell apoptosis, leading to efficient photodynamic therapy. Due to the different expression of miRNA between normal cells and cancer cells, the HPMOF@ZIF-8 could recognize cancer cells through imaging of miRNA, leading to more accurate treatment of cancer, providing a promising theranostic nanoplatform.

Abstract
The ability of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to regulate a broad range of cellular processes has recently been used to treat diseases. Growing evidence indicates that EVs play a cardioprotective role in heart disease by activating beneficial signaling pathways. Multiple functional components of EVs and intracellular molecular mechanisms are involved in the process. To overcome the shortcomings of native EVs such as their heterogeneity and limited tropism, a series of engineering approaches has been developed to improve the therapeutic efficiency of EVs. In this review, we present an overview of the research and future directions for EVs-based cardiac therapies with an emphasis on EVs-mediated delivery of therapeutic agents. The advantages and limitations of various modification strategies are discussed, and possible opportunities for improvement are proposed. An in-depth understanding of the endogenous properties of EVs and EVs engineering strategies could lead to a promising cell-free therapy for cardiac repair.
