Abstract
In conventional clinical disease diagnosis and screening based on biomarker detection, most analysis samples are collected from serum, blood. However, these invasive collection methods require specific instruments, professionals, and may lead to infection risks. Additionally, the diagnosis process suffers from untimely results. The identification of skin-related biomarkers plays an unprecedented role in early disease diagnosis. More importantly, these skin-mediated approaches for collecting biomarker-containing biofluid samples are noninvasive or minimally invasive, which is more preferable for point-of-care testing (POCT). Therefore, skin-based biomarker detection patches have been promoted, owing to their unique advantages, such as simple fabrication, desirable transdermal properties and no requirements for professional medical staff. Currently, the skin biomarkers extracted from sweat, interstitial fluid (ISF) and wound exudate, are achieved with wearable sweat patches, transdermal MN patches, and wound patches, respectively. In this review, we detail these three types of skin patches in biofluids collection and diseases-related biomarkers identification. Patch classification and the corresponding manufacturing as well as detection strategies are also summarized. The remaining challenges in clinical applications and current issues in accurate detection are discussed for further advancement of this technology (Scheme 1).

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1306:342585.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a convenient and versatile dual-mode electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemistry (PEC) sensing radar for the detection of Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which has important implications for detection of low-abundance disease-associated proteins. Cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOFs) were firstly modified on the electrode, showing well ECL and PEC property. In particular, a unique multifunctional Au@CdS quantum dots (QDs) probe loaded numerous QDs and antibody was fabricated, not only displaying strong ECL and PEC signals, but also having specific recognition to PSA. After the signal probe was linked to the electrode by immune reaction, much amplified signals of ECL and PEC were generated for double-mode detection of PSA. Therefore, this work proposed a multifunctional Au@CdS QDs signal probe with excellent ECL and PEC performance, and developed an ultrasensitive photoelectric biosensing platform for dual-mode detection, which provides an effective method for health monitoring of cancer patients.

Abstract
Recent decades have experienced tough situations due to the lack of reliable diagnostic facilities. The most recent cases occurred during the pandemic, where researchers observed the lack of diagnostic facilities with precision. Microorganisms and viral disease's ability to escape diagnosis has been a global challenge. DNA always has been a unique moiety with a strong and precise base-paired structure. DNA in human and foreign particles makes identification possible through base pairing. Since then, researchers have focused heavily on designing diagnostic assays targeting DNA in particular. Moreover, DNA nanotechnology has contributed vastly to designing composite nanomaterials by combining DNA/nucleic acids with functional nanomaterials and inorganic nanoparticles exploiting their physicochemical properties. These nanomaterials often exhibit unique or enhanced properties due to the synergistic activity of the many components. The capabilities of DNA and additional nanomaterials have shown the combination of robust and advanced tailoring of biosensors. Preceding findings state that the conventional strategies have exhibited certain limitations such as a low range of target detection, less biodegradability, subordinate half-life, and high susceptibility to microenvironments; however, a DNA-nanomaterial-based biosensor has overcome these limitations meaningfully. Additionally, the unique properties of nucleic acids have been studied extensively due to their high signal conduction abilities. Here, we review recent studies on DNA-nanomaterial-based biosensors, their mechanism of action, and improved/updated strategies in vivo and in situ. Furthermore, this review highlights the recent methodologies on DNA utilization to exploit the interfacial properties of nanomaterials in DNA sensing. Lastly, the review concludes with the limitations/challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors with significant advantages of high sensitivity, long-term stability, and excellent reproducibility, are one promising technology to solve many challenges, such as the detection of toxic substances and viruses. Among various materials, perovskite oxides have become a promising candidate for use in non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors because of their low cost, flexible structure, and high intrinsic catalytic activity. A comprehensive overview of the recent advances in perovskite oxides for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors is provided, which includes the synthesis methods of nanostructured perovskites and the electrocatalytic mechanisms of perovskite catalysts. The better sensing performance of perovskite oxides is mainly due to the lattice O vacancies and superoxide oxygen ions (O22-/O-), which are generated by the transfer of lattice oxygen to adsorbed -OH and have performed excellent properties suitable for electrooxidation of analytes. However, the limited electron transfer kinetics, stability, and selectivity of perovskite oxides alone make perovskite oxides far from ready for scientific development. Therefore, composites of perovskite oxides with other materials like graphitic carbon, metals, metal compounds, conducting organics, and biomolecules are summarized. Furthermore, a brief section describing the future challenges and the corresponding recommendation is presented in this review.

A novel biosensing platform for detection of glaucoma biomarker GDF15 via an integrated BLI-ELASA strategy. Biomaterials 2023; 294:121997. [PMID: 36638554 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.121997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Early discovery and prioritized intervention significantly impact its prognosis. Precise monitoring of the biomarker GDF15 contributes towards effective diagnosis and assessment of glaucoma. In this study, we demonstrate that GDF15 monitoring can also aid screening for glaucoma risk and early diagnosis. We obtained an aptamer (APT2TM) with high affinity, high specificity, and high stability for binding to both human-derived and rat-derived GDF15. Simulation results showed that the binding capabilities of APT2TM are mainly affected by the interplay between van der Waals forces and polar solvation energy, and that salt bridges and hydrogen bonds play critical roles. We then integrated an enzyme-linked aptamer sandwich assay (ELASA) into a biolayer interferometry (BLI) system to develop an automated, high-throughput, real-time monitoring BLI-ELASA biosensing platform. This platform exhibited a wide linear detection window (10-810 pg/mL range) and high sensitivity for GDF15 (detection limit of 5-6 pg/mL). Moreover, we confirmed its excellent performance when applied to GDF15 quantification in real samples from glaucomatous rats and clinical patients. We believe that this technology represents a robust, convenient, and cost-effective approach for risk screening, early diagnosis, and animal modeling evaluation of glaucoma in the near future.

Abstract
The recent pandemic has led to the fabrication of new nucleic acid sensors that can detect infinitesimal limits immediately and effectively. Therefore, various techniques have been demonstrated using low-dimensional materials that exhibit ultrahigh detection and accuracy. Numerous detection approaches have been reported, and new methods for impulse sensing are being explored. All ongoing research converges at one unique point, that is, an impetus: the enhanced limit of detection of sensors. There are several reviews on the detection of viruses and other proteins related to disease control point of care; however, to the best of our knowledge, none summarizes the various nucleotide sensors and describes their limits of detection and mechanisms. To understand the far-reaching impact of this discipline, we briefly discussed conventional and nanomaterial-based sensors, and then proposed the feature prospects of these devices. Two types of sensing mechanisms were further divided into their sub-branches: polymerase chain reaction and photospectrometric-based sensors. The nanomaterial-based sensor was further subdivided into optical and electrical sensors. The optical sensors included fluorescence (FL), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), while electrical sensors included electrochemical luminescence (ECL), microfluidic chip, and field-effect transistor (FET). A synopsis of sensing materials, mechanisms, detection limits, and ranges has been provided. The sensing mechanism and materials used were discussed for each category in terms of length, collectively forming a fusing platform to highlight the ultrahigh detection technique of nucleotide sensors. We discussed potential trends in improving the fabrication of nucleotide nanosensors based on low-dimensional materials. In this area, particular aspects, including sensitivity, detection mechanism, stability, and challenges, were addressed. The optimization of the sensing performance and selection of the best sensor were concluded. Recent trends in the atomic-scale simulation of the development of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sensors using 2D materials were highlighted. A critical overview of the challenges and opportunities of deoxyribonucleic acid sensors was explored, and progress made in deoxyribonucleic acid detection over the past decade with a family of deoxyribonucleic acid sensors was described. Areas in which further research is needed were included in the future scope.

Abstract
Metasurfaces are 2D artificial materials consisting of arrays of metamolecules, which are exquisitely designed to manipulate light in terms of amplitude, phase, and polarization state with spatial resolutions at the subwavelength scale. Traditional micro/nano-optical sensors (MNOSs) pursue high sensitivity through strongly localized optical fields based on diffractive and refractive optics, microcavities, and interferometers. Although detections of ultra-low concentrations of analytes have already been demonstrated, the label-free sensing and recognition of complex and unknown samples remain challenging, requiring multiple readouts from sensors, e.g., refractive index, absorption/emission spectrum, chirality, etc. Additionally, the reliability of detecting large, inhomogeneous biosamples may be compromised by the limited near-field sensing area from the localization of light. Here, we review recent advances in metasurface-based MNOSs and compare them with counterparts using micro-optics from aspects of physics, working principles, and applications. By virtue of underlying the physics and design flexibilities of metasurfaces, MNOSs have now been endowed with superb performances and advanced functionalities, leading toward highly integrated smart sensing platforms.

Abstract
Supramolecular hybrids of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and phthalocyanine (Pc) dyes were studied as turn-OFF-ON photoluminescence nanosensors for detection of ds-DNA. Pcs with four (Pc4) and eight (Pc8) positive charges were selected to interact with negatively charged GQDs. The photoluminescence of the GQDs was quenched upon interaction with the Pcs, due to the formation of non-emissive complexes. In the presence of ds-DNA, the Pcs interacted preferentially with the negatively charged ds-DNA, lifting the quenching effect over the photoluminescence of the GQDs and restoring their emission intensity. The best performance as a sensor of ds-DNA was registered for the GQD-Pc8, with a limit of detection (LOD) in the picomolar range. The LOD for GQD-Pc8 was more than one order of magnitude lower and its sensitivity was about a factor of three higher than that of the analogue GQD-Pc4 nanosensor. The sensitivity and selectivity of this simple GQD-Pc8 nanosensor is comparable to those of the more sophisticated carbon-based nanosensors for DNA reported previously.

Abstract
A nanocomposite of graphene oxide and gold nanourchins has been used here to modify the surface of a screen‐printed carbon electrode to enhance the sensitivity of the electrochemical DNA detection system. A specific single‐stranded DNA probe was designed based on the target DNA sequence and was thiolated to be self‐assembled on the surface of the gold nanourchins placed on the modified electrode. Doxorubicin was used as an electrochemical label to detect the DNA hybridisation using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The assembling process was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and the EIS method. The high sensitivity of the proposed system led to a low detection limit of 0.16 fM and a wide linear range from 0.5 to 950.0 fM. The specificity of the DNA hybridisation and the signalling molecule (haematoxylin) caused very high selectivity towards the target DNA than other non‐specific sequences.

Abstract
DNA strand displacement (DSD) is regarded as a foundation for the construction of biological computing systems because of the predictability of DNA molecular behaviors. Some complex system dynamics can be approximated by cascading DSD reaction modules with different functions. In this paper, four DSD reaction modules are used to realize chaotic secure communication based on drive-response synchronization of four-dimensional chaotic systems. The system adopts the communication technology of chaos masking and uses a single-channel synchronization scheme to achieve high accuracy. The simulation results demonstrate that encryption and decryption of the signal are achieved by the design. Moreover, the system is robust to noise signals and interference during the DNA reactions. This work provides a method for the application of DNA molecular computation in the communication field.

Abstract
Authentication, detection and quantification of ingredients, and adulterants in food, meat, and meat products are of high importance these days. The conventional techniques for the detection of meat species based on lipid, protein and DNA biomarkers are facing challenges due to the poor selectivity, sensitivity and unsuitability for processed food products or complex food matrices. On the other hand, DNA based molecular techniques and nanoparticle based DNA biosensing strategies are gathering huge attention from the scientific communities, researchers and are considered as one of the best alternatives to the conventional strategies. Though nucleic acid based molecular techniques such as PCR and DNA sequencing are getting greater successes in species detection, they are still facing problems from its point-of-care applications. In this context, nanoparticle based DNA biosensors have gathered successes in some extent but not to a satisfactory stage to mark with. In recent years, many articles have been published in the area of progressive nucleic acid-based technologies, however there are very few review articles on DNA nanobiosensors in food science and technology. In this review, we present the fundamentals of DNA based molecular techniques such as PCR, DNA sequencing and their applications in food science. Moreover, the in-depth discussions of different DNA biosensing strategies or more specifically electrochemical and optical DNA nanobiosensors are presented. In addition, the significance of DNA nanobiosensors over other advanced detection technologies is discussed, focusing on the deficiencies, advantages as well as current challenges to ameliorate with the direction for future development.

Abstract
The dynamic nature of micellar nanostructures is employed to form a self-assembled Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanoplatform for enhanced sensing of DNA. The platform consists of lipid oligonucleotide FRET probes incorporated into micellar scaffolds, where single recognition events result in fusion and fission of DNA mixed micelles, triggering the fluorescence response of multiple rather than a single FRET pair. In comparison to conventional FRET substrates where a single donor interacts with a single acceptor, the micellar multiplex FRET system showed ∼20- and ∼3-fold enhancements in the limit of detection and FRET efficiency, respectively. This supramolecular signal amplification approach could potentially be used to improve FRET-based diagnostic assays of nucleic acid and non-DNA based targets.

Abstract
Low dimensional nanomaterials (LDNMs) have earned attention among researchers as they exhibit a larger surface area to volume and quantum confinement effect compared to high dimensional nanomaterials. LDNMs, including 0-D and 1-D, possess several beneficial biomedical properties such as bioimaging, sensor, cosmetic, drug delivery, and cancer tumors ablation. However, they threaten human beings with the adverse effects of cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and genotoxicity when exposed for a prolonged time in industry or laboratory. Among different toxicities, genotoxicity must be taken into consideration with utmost importance as they inherit DNA related disorders causing congenital disabilities and malignancy to human beings. Many researchers have performed NMs' genotoxicity using various cell lines and animal models and reported the effect on various physicochemical and biological factors. In the present work, we have compiled a comparative study on the genotoxicity of the same or different kinds of NMs. Notwithstanding, we have included the classification of genotoxicity, mechanism, assessment, and affecting factors. Further, we have highlighted the importance of studying the genotoxicity of LDNMs and signified the perceptions, future challenges, and possible directives in the field.

Abstract
Urine is a biofluid easy to collect through a non-invasive technique that allows collecting a large volume of sample. The use of urine for disease diagnosis is not yet well explored. However, it has gained attention over the last three years. It has been applied in the diagnosis of several illnesses such as kidney disease, bladder cancer, prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In the last decade, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have attracted attention in biosensors' development for the diagnosis of diseases due to their electrical and optical properties, ability to conjugate with biomolecules, high sensitivity, and selectivity. Therefore, this article aims to present a comprehensive view of state of the art on the advances made in the quantification of analytes in urinary samples using AuNPs based assays, with a focus on protein analysis. The type of diagnosis methods, the Au NPs synthesis approaches and the strategies for surface modification aiming at selectivity towards the different targets are highlighted.

Abstract
There is a growing demand to protect food products against the hazard of microbes and their toxins. To satisfy such goals, it is important to develop highly sensitive, reliable, sophisticated, rapid, and cost-effective sensing techniques such as electrochemical sensors/biosensors. Although diverse forms of nanomaterials (NMs)-based electrochemical sensing methods have been introduced in markets, the reliability of commercial products is yet insufficient to meet the practical goal. In this review, we focused on: 1) sources of pathogenic microbes and their toxins; 2) possible routes of their entrainment in food, and 3) current development of NM-based biosensors to realize real-time detection of the target analytes. At last, future prospects and challenges in this research field are discussed.

Abstract
DNA interfaces with nano, micro, and macro materials have gained widespread attention for various applications. Such interfaces exhibit distinct functions and properties not only due to the unique properties of interfacing materials but also sequence- and conformation-dependent characteristics of the DNA. Therefore, DNA interfaces with diverse dimensional materials have advanced our understanding of the interaction mechanisms and the properties of such interfaces. The unique interfacial properties of such novel materials have applications in nanotechnology, biophysics, cell biology, biosensing, and bioelectronics. The field is growing rapidly with the frequent emergence of new interfaces carrying remarkable interfacial character. In this review article, we have classified the DNA interfaces into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D categories based on the types of dimensional materials. We review the key efforts made in the last five years and focus on types of interfaces, interfacing mechanisms, and their state-of-the-art applications. This review will draw a general interest because of the diversity in the DNA materials science but also the unique applications that will play a cutting-edge role in biomedical and biosensing research. DNA interfaces with 0–3 dimensional materials through physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms acquire unique interfacial character for novel biomedical applications.![]()

Abstract
Water-soluble π-conjugated polymers are increasingly considered for DNA biosensing. However, the conformational rearrangement, supramolecular organization and dynamics upon interaction with DNA have been overlooked, which prevents the rational design of such detection tools. To elucidate the binding of a cationic polythiophene (CPT) to DNA with atomistic resolution, we performed molecular simulations of their supramolecular assembly. Comparison of replicated simulations show a multiplicity of CPT binding geometries that contribute to the wrapping of CPT around DNA. The different binding geometries are stabilized by both electrostatic interactions between CPT lateral cations and DNA phosphodiesters and van der Waals interactions between the CPT backbone and the DNA grooves. Simulated circular dichroism (CD) spectra show that the induced CD signal stems from a conserved geometrical feature across the replicated simulations, i. e. the presence of segments of syn configurations between thiophene units along the CPT chain. At the macromolecular scale, we inspected the different shapes related to the CPT binding modes around the DNA through symmetry metrics. Altogether, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, model Hamiltonian calculations of the CD spectra, and symmetry indices provide insights into the origin of induced chirality from the atomic to the macromolecular scale. Our multidisciplinary approach points out the hierarchical aspect of CPT chiral organization induced by DNA.

Abstract
In this research, a novel signal-on aptasensor for highly sensitive detection of zearalenone (ZEN) was reported based on target-induced amplification strategy. Specifically, chitosan functionalized acetylene black and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CS@AB-MWCNTs) nanocomposite with large specific surface area and excellent conductivity was synthesized and served as the sensing platform. In addition, carboxylated graphene oxide-labeled ZEN binding aptamer (CGO-ZBA) would specifically recognized with ZEN to detach from the electrode, allowing the electrochemical signal of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- increased more obviously. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed aptasensor exhibited exceptional detection performances for ZEN with a linear range from 10 fg mL-1 to 1 ng mL-1 and a low limit of detection of 3.64 fg mL-1. Given its great sensitivity, excellent selectivity, satisfactory stability and reproducibility, this method would provide a promising application for ZEN and other biomolecules by replacing the corresponding nucleicacidsequences.

Abstract
The global burden of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to public health and global economy has stressed the need for rapid and simple diagnostic methods. From this perspective, plasmonic-based biosensing can manage the threat of infectious diseases by providing timely virus monitoring. In recent years, many plasmonics’ platforms have embraced the challenge of offering on-site strategies to complement traditional diagnostic methods relying on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). This review compiled recent progress on the development of novel plasmonic sensing schemes for the effective control of virus-related diseases. A special focus was set on the utilization of plasmonic nanostructures in combination with other detection formats involving colorimetric, fluorescence, luminescence, or Raman scattering enhancement. The quantification of different viruses (e.g., hepatitis virus, influenza virus, norovirus, dengue virus, Ebola virus, Zika virus) with particular attention to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was reviewed from the perspective of the biomarker and the biological receptor immobilized on the sensor chip. Technological limitations including selectivity, stability, and monitoring in biological matrices were also reviewed for different plasmonic-sensing approaches.

Abstract
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the responses of rat muscle-derived stem cells (rMDSCs) to growth on silica nanostructured substrates (SN) with nanoscale topographic surfaces. SN of different sizes (SN-60, SN-150, SN-300, SN-500, and SN-700) were prepared using silica nanoparticles with sizes of 60-700 nm. The prepared SN showed roughness at the nanoscale level. The total number of adherent cells on SN increased with increasing nanoscale level and incubation time. The rMDSCs attached to SN-500 and SN-700 were extensively flattened, whereas those grown on SN-60, SN-150, and SN-300 were more rounded. The rank order of the cell length and height of attached rMDSCs at 5 d on different surfaces was SN-60 ≈ SN-150 >> SN-300 > SN-500 > SN-700 > glass. Compared with rMDSCs grown on SN-60, SN-150, or SN-300, those attached to SN-500 and SN-700 exhibited a distinct morphology with filopodial extensions and stronger expression of focal adhesion, integrin, and actin. An evaluation of the gene expression of adhered rMDSCs showed that rMDSCs grown on SN-300 exhibited a higher environmental stress response than those grown on glass or SN-700. Collectively, our data provide fundamental insight into the cellular response and gene expression of rMDSCs grown on nanostructured substrates.

Abstract
Pandemics require a fast and immediate response to contain potential infectious carriers. In the recent 2020 Covid-19 worldwide pandemic, authorities all around the world have failed to identify potential carriers and contain it on time. Hence, a rapid and very sensitive testing method is required. Current diagnostic tools, reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time PCR (qPCR), have its pitfalls for quick pandemic containment such as the requirement for specialized professionals and instrumentation. Versatile electrochemical DNA/RNA sensors are a promising technological alternative for PCR based diagnosis. In an electrochemical DNA sensor, a nucleic acid hybridization event is converted into a quantifiable electrochemical signal. A critical challenge of electrochemical DNA sensors is sensitive detection of a low copy number of DNA/RNA in samples such as is the case for early onset of a disease. Signal amplification approaches are an important tool to overcome this sensitivity issue. In this review, the authors discuss the most recent signal amplification strategies employed in the electrochemical DNA/RNA diagnosis of pathogens.

Abstract
Detection and monitoring of volatiles is a challenging and fascinating issue in environmental analysis, agriculture and food quality, process control in industry, as well as in 'point of care' diagnostics. Gas chromatographic approaches remain the reference method for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); however, gas sensors (GSs), with their advantages of low cost and no or very little sample preparation, have become a reality. Gas sensors can be used singularly or in array format (e.g., e-noses); coupling data output with multivariate statical treatment allows un-target analysis of samples headspace. Within this frame, the use of new binding elements as recognition/interaction elements in gas sensing is a challenging hot-topic that allowed unexpected advancement. In this review, the latest development of gas sensors and gas sensor arrays, realized using peptides, molecularly imprinted polymers and DNA is reported. This work is focused on the description of the strategies used for the GSs development, the sensing elements function, the sensors array set-up, and the application in real cases.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional (0D) nanomaterials, including graphene quantum dots (GQDs), carbon quantum dots (CQDs), fullerenes, inorganic quantum dots (QDs), magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), noble metal nanoparticles, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and polymer dots (Pdots), have attracted extensive research interest in the field of biosensing in recent years. Benefiting from the ultra-small size, quantum confinement effect, excellent physical and chemical properties and good biocompatibility, 0D nanomaterials have shown great potential in ion detection, biomolecular recognition, disease diagnosis and pathogen detection. Here we first introduce the structures and properties of different 0D nanomaterials. On this basis, recent progress and application examples of 0D nanomaterials in the field of biosensing are discussed. In the last part, we summarize the research status of 0D nanomaterials in the field of biosensing and anticipate the development prospects and future challenges in this field.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an interesting and useful class of coordination polymers, constructed from metal ion/cluster nodes and functional organic ligands through coordination bonds, and have attracted extensive research interest during the past decades. Due to the unique features of diverse compositions, facile synthesis, easy surface functionalization, high surface areas, adjustable porosity, and tunable biocompatibility, MOFs have been widely used in hydrogen/methane storage, catalysis, biological imaging and sensing, drug delivery, desalination, gas separation, magnetic and electronic devices, nonlinear optics, water vapor capture, etc. Notably, with the rapid development of synthetic methods and surface functionalization strategies, smart MOF-based nanocomposites with advanced bio-related properties have been designed and fabricated to meet the growing demands of MOF materials for biomedical applications. This work outlines the synthesis and functionalization and the recent advances of MOFs in biomedical fields, including cargo (drugs, nucleic acids, proteins, and dyes) delivery for cancer therapy, bioimaging, antimicrobial, biosensing, and biocatalysis. The prospects and challenges in the field of MOF-based biomedical materials are also discussed.

Ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 fragment using gold nanoparticles decorated fullerene nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheet as signal tags. Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1080:75-83.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains the top fatal infection continuing to threat public health, and the present detection method for MTB is facing great challenges with the global TB burden. In response to this issue, a novel electrochemical DNA biosensor was developed for detecting the IS6110 fragment within MTB. For the first time, the nanohybrid of gold nanoparticles decorated fullerene nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheet (Au-nano-C60/NGS) directly served as a new signal tag to generate signal response without additional redox molecules and subsequently labeled with signal probes (SPs) to form tracer label to achieve signal amplification. Additionally, a biotin-avidin system was introduced to immobilize abundant capture probes (CPs), further improving the sensitivity of the proposed biosensor. After a typical sandwich hybridization, the proposed electrochemical DNA biosensor was incubated with tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB), which was used as a booster to induce the intrinsic redox activity of the tracer label, resulting in a discriminating current response. The proposed electrochemical DNA biosensor shows a broad linear range for MTB determination from 10 fM to 10 nM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 3 fM. In addition, this proposed biosensor not only distinguishes mismatched DNA sequence, but also differentiates MTB from other pathogenic agents. More importantly, it has been preliminarily applied in clinical detection and displayed excellent ability to identify the PCR products of clinical samples. There is great potential for this developed method to be used in early diagnosis and monitor of TB.
