Abstract
Fluid biopsy technology, characterized by its minimally invasive nature, speed, and continuity, has become a rapidly advancing and widely applied real-time diagnostic technique. Among various biomarkers, proteins represent the most abundant class of disease indicators. The sensitive and accurate detection of protein markers in bodily fluids is significantly influenced by the control exerted by recognition ligands. Aptamers, which are structurally dynamic functional oligonucleotides, exhibit high affinity, specific recognition of targets, and notable characteristics of high editability and modularity. These features make aptamer universal "recognition-capture" components, contribute to a significant leap in their applications within the biosensor domain. In this context, we provide a comprehensive review of the extensive application of aptamer-based biosensors in fluid biopsy. We systematically compile the characteristics and construction strategies of aptamer-based biosensors tailored for fluid biopsy, including aptamer sequences, affinity (KD), fluid background, sensing technologies, sensor construction strategies, incubation time, detection performance, and influencing factors. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of their advantages and disadvantages was conducted. In conclusion, we delineate and deliberate on prospective research trajectories and challenges that lie ahead in the realm of aptamer-based biosensors for fluid biopsy.

Abstract
The demand for lipid profile (the cholesterol and triglyceride elements in the blood) testing outside resourced diagnostic centers is continuously increasing for personalized and community-based healthcare to ensure timely disease screening and management; however, it is inevitably challenged by several bottlenecks in the existing point of care technologies. These deficits include delicate sample pre-processing steps and device complexity, which give rise to unfavourable cost propositions to safeguard against compromised test accuracy. To circumvent these bottlenecks, herein, we introduce a new diagnostic technology, 'Lipidest', that integrates a portable spinning disc, a spin box, and an office scanner to reliably quantify the complete lipid panel from finger-prick blood. Our design facilitates the direct miniature adaptation of the established gold standard procedures as against any indirect sensing technologies that are otherwise common in point-of-care applications introduced commercially. The test procedure harmoniously connects all the elements of sample-to-answer integration in a single device, traversing the entire pipeline of the physical separation of plasma from the cellular components of the whole blood, the automated mixing with the test reagents on the same platform in situ, and office-scanner-adapted quantitative colorimetric analytics that eliminate any undesirable artefacts on account of variabilities in the background illumination and camera specifications. The exclusive value of eliminating sample preparation steps, including the rotationally actuated segregation of the specific blood constituents without any cross-interference between them, their automated homogeneous mixing with the respective test reagents, and the simultaneous, yet independent, quantitative readout without specialized instrumentation, render the test user-friendly and deployable in resource-constrained settings with a reasonably wide detection window. The extreme simplicity and modular nature of the device further make it amenable to mass manufacturing without incurring unfavourable costs. Extensive validation with laboratory-benchmark gold standards provide acceptable accuracy and indicates the value of the first-of-its-kind ultra-low-cost extreme-point-of-care test with a scientific foundation akin to highly accurate laboratory-centric technologies for cardiovascular health monitoring and beyond.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology has significantly advanced and might be used in biomedical applications, drug delivery, and cancer treatment during the past few decades. DNA nanomaterials are widely used in biomedical research involving biosensing, bioimaging, and drug delivery since they are remarkably addressable and biocompatible. Gradually, modified nucleic acids have begun to be employed to construct multifunctional DNA nanostructures with a variety of architectural designs. Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids (both DNAs and RNAs) capable of self-pairing to acquire secondary structure and of specifically binding with the target. Diagnosis and tumor therapy are prospective fields in which aptamers can be applied. Many DNA nanomaterials with three-dimensional structures have been studied as drug delivery systems for different anticancer medications or gene therapy agents. Different chemical alterations can be employed to construct a wide range of modified DNA nanostructures. Chemically altered DNA-based nanomaterials are useful for drug delivery because of their improved stability and inclusion of functional groups. In this work, the most common oligonucleotide nanomaterials were reviewed as modern drug delivery systems in tumor cells.

Abstract
The complexity and overall burden of Parkinson's disease (PD) require new pharmacological approaches to counteract the symptomatology while reducing the progressive neurodegeneration of affected dopaminergic neurons. Since the pathophysiological signature of PD is characterized by the loss of physiological levels of dopamine (DA) and the misfolding and aggregation of the alpha-synuclein (α-syn) protein, new proposals seek to restore the lost DA and inhibit the progressive damage derived from pathological α-syn and its impact in terms of oxidative stress. In this line, nanomedicine (the medical application of nanotechnology) has achieved significant advances in the development of nanocarriers capable of transporting and delivering basal state DA in a controlled manner in the tissues of interest, as well as highly selective catalytic nanostructures with enzyme-like properties for the elimination of reactive oxygen species (responsible for oxidative stress) and the proteolysis of misfolded proteins. Although some of these proposals remain in their early stages, the deepening of our knowledge concerning the pathological processes of PD and the advances in nanomedicine could endow for the development of potential treatments for this still incurable condition. Therefore, in this paper, we offer: (i) a brief summary of the most recent findings concerning the physiology of motor regulation and (ii) the molecular neuropathological processes associated with PD, together with (iii) a recapitulation of the current progress in controlled DA release by nanocarriers and (iv) the design of nanozymes, catalytic nanostructures with oxidoreductase-, chaperon, and protease-like properties. Finally, we conclude by describing the prospects and knowledge gaps to overcome and consider as research into nanotherapies for PD continues, especially when clinical translations take place.

Abstract
Understanding disease-related processes at the molecular level is of great importance for the prevention and treatment of diseases. However, due to the lack of effective analytical tools, it is challenging to gain insight into the relationships between a specific bioactive molecule and the associated disease. Herein, a rapid turn-on resorufin-based fluorescent probe platform utilizing the HClO-specific oxidative cleavage of the amide was constructed, allowing the visualization of HClO in vitro and in vivo. These probes could quickly respond to HClO (< 50 s) with high selectivity and sensitivity (12-153 nM). The probe REClO-6 had the fastest response (30 s) and the highest sensitivity (12 nM), and was successfully used for the imaging of endogenous and exogenous HClO in cells and zebrafish. Notably, it was also successfully applied to the imaging of HClO in mouse arthritis and solid tumors. This study provided a rapid imaging analysis tool, which would be used to investigate the relationship between HClO and the disease-related physiological processes.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs), including Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ from the environment pose a threat to human beings and can cause a series of life-threatening diseases. Therefore, colorimetric sensors with convenience and flexibility for HMI discrimination are still required. To provide a solution, a peroxidase-like activity-based colorimetric sensor array of citrate-capped noble metal nanozymes (osmium, platinum, and gold) has been fabricated. Some studies reported that some HMIs could interact with the noble metal nanozymes leading to a change in their peroxidase-like activity. This phenomenon was confirmed in our work. Based on this principle, different concentrations of HMIs (Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+) were discriminated. Moreover, their practical application has been tested by discriminating HMIs in tap water and SiYu lake water. What is more, as an example of the validity of our method to quantify HMIs at nanomolar concentrations, the LOD of Hg2+ was presented. To sum up, our study not only demonstrates the differentiation ability of this nanozyme sensor array but also gives hints for using nanozyme sensor arrays for further applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties (nanozymes) have attracted growing interest owing to their striking merits over the traditional enzymes, such as low cost, easy surface modification, high stability and robustness, and tunable activity. These features enable them to be considered as a potent substitute for natural enzymes to construct novel analytical platforms to detect various analytes from small molecules to proteins and cells. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the design strategies using nanozyme catalytic mediated signal amplification for sensing applications. The progress of nanozyme-based analytical systems in the detection of different types of analytes, including ions, small biomolecules, biomacromolecules and others, is summarized.

Abstract
The development of flexible, biocompatible, and environment-friendly sensors has attracted a significant amount of scientific interest for the past few decades. Among all the natural materials, silk fibroin (SF), due to its tunable biodegradability, biocompatibility, ease of processing, presence of functional groups, and controllable dimensions, has opened up opportunities for immobilizing multitudinous biomolecules and conformability to the skin, among other attractive opportunities. The silk fibroins also offer good physical properties, such as superior toughness and tensile strength. The sensors made of SF as an immobilization matrix have demonstrated excellent analytical performance, sensing even at low concentrations. The significant advantage of silk fibroins is the presence of functional groups along with a controllable conformation transition that enables immobilization of receptor molecules using silk fibroins as an immobilization matrix enables us to entrap the receptor molecules without using any chemical reagents. This review encompasses a detailed discussion on sensors, the advantages of using silk fibroins as an immobilization matrix for various receptors, their applications, and the future research scope in this state-of-the-art technology based upon the explorable applications for silk fibroin-based sensors.

Abstract
Large scale mining, manufacturing industries, exploitation of underground water, depletion of groundwater level, and uncontrolled discharge of industrial wastes have caused severe heavy metal ion pollution to the environment throughout the world. Therefore, the rapid detection of such toxic metal ions is inevitable. However, conventional methods require sophisticated instruments and skilled manpower and are difficult to operate in on-field conditions. Recently, metal nanozyme-based assays have been found to have the potential as an alternative to conventional methods due to their portability, simplicity, and high sensitivity to detect metal ion concentration to as low as parts per trillion (ppt). Metal nanozyme-based systems for heavy metal ions enable rapid and cheap screening on the spot with a very simple instrument such as a UV-vis absorption spectrophotometer and therefore, are convenient for use in field operations, especially in remote parts of the world. The sensing mechanism of a nanozyme-based sensor is highly dependent on its surface properties and specific interactions with particular metal ion species. Such method often encounters selectivity issues, unlike natural enzyme-based assays. Therefore, in this review, we mainly focus our discussion on different types of target recognition and inhibition/enhancement mechanisms, and their responses toward the catalytic activity in the sensing of target metal ions, design strategies, challenges, and future perspectives.

Abstract
The fluorescence imaging technique has attracted increasing attention in the detection of various biological molecules in situ and in real-time owing to its inherent advantages including high selectivity and sensitivity, outstanding spatiotemporal resolution and fast feedback. In the past few decades, a number of fluorescent probes have been developed for bioassays and imaging by exploiting different fluorophores. Among various fluorophores, resorufin exhibits a high fluorescence quantum yield, long excitation/emission wavelength and pronounced ability in both fluorescence and colorimetric analysis. This fluorophore has been widely utilized in the design of responsive probes specific for various bioactive species. In this review, we summarize the advances in the development of resorufin-based fluorescent probes for detecting various analytes, such as cations, anions, reactive (redox-active) sulfur species, small molecules and biological macromolecules. The chemical structures of probes, response mechanisms, detection limits and practical applications are investigated, which is followed by the discussion of recent challenges and future research perspectives. This review article is expected to promote the further development of resorufin-based responsive fluorescent probes and their biological applications.

Base amount-dependent fluorescence enhancement for the assay of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 in human serum using hairpin DNA-silver nanoclusters and oxidized carbon nanoparticles. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:629.

Abstract
A base amount-dependent fluorescence enhancement-based strategy is put forward to determine vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) in human serum by the use of hairpin DNA-silver nanoclusters (hDNA-AgNCs) and oxidized carbon nanoparticles (CNPs). The hDNA-AgNCs aptasensing probe consists of AgNCs-contained hairpin loop (that generates a fluorescence signal), hairpin stem (that makes the structure stable), and the terminal aptamer 1 (that recognizes the target together with aptamer 2). It has been demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity of hDNA-AgNCs is ~ 3-fold stronger than that of single-stranded DNA-AgNCs (ssDNA-AgNCs), and hDNA-AgNCs have a strong dependence of fluorescence enhancement on the base amount in hairpin stem and loop. Upon the addition of oxidized CNPs, the terminal aptamer 1 of hDNA-AgNCs can adsorb onto the surface of oxidized CNPs via π-π stacking, and the fluorescence of hDNA-AgNCs (with excitation/emission maxima at 490/567 nm) is quenched via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When aptamer 2 and VEGF165 are subsequently added, aptamer 1, VEGF165, and aptamer 2 reassemble into an intact tertiary structure, and the fluorescence is recovered because hDNA-AgNCs are far away from the surface of oxidized CNPs and the FRET efficiency decreases. Under the optimized conditions, the aptasensing probe can selectively assay VEGF165 with a detection limit of 14 pM. The results provide a label-free and sensitive method to monitor VEGF165 in human serum. Schematic representation of the strong dependence of fluorescence enhancement on base amount in stem and loop of hairpin DNA-silver nanoclusters. The probe can be used to assay vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) and give a judgment whether human serum VEGF165 is at a normal or abnormal level for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most common and important diseases with a high mortality rate. Breast cancer is among the three most common types of cancer in women, and the mortality rate has reached 0.024% in some countries. For early-stage preclinical diagnosis of breast cancer, sensitive and reliable tools are needed. Today, there are many types of biomarkers that have been identified for cancer diagnosis. A wide variety of detection strategies have also been developed for the detection of these biomarkers from serum or other body fluids at physiological concentrations. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides and promising in the production of more sensitive and reliable biosensor platforms in combination with a wide range of nanomaterials. Conformational changes triggered by the target analyte have been successfully applied in fluorometric, colorimetric, plasmonic, and electrochemical-based detection strategies. This review article presents aptasensor approaches used in the detection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and mucin-1 glycoprotein (MUC1) biomarkers, which are frequently studied in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The focus of this review article is on developments of the last decade for detecting these biomarkers using various sensitivity enhancement techniques and nanomaterials.

Abstract
Background Since vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a significant regulator of cancer angiogenesis, it is essential to develop a technology for its sensitive detection. Herein, we sensitized a chemiluminescence (CL) immunoassay through the combination of H2O2-sensitive TGA-CdTe quantum dot (QD) as signal transduction, dextran as a cross-linker to prepare enzyme-labeled antigen and the ultrahigh bioactivity of catalase (CAT) as reporter enzyme. Results Under the optimized experimental conditions, the chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CL-ELISA) method can detect VEGF in the excellent linear range of 2–35,000 pg mL−1, with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.5 pg mL−1 which was approximately ten times lower than the commercial colorimetric immunoassay. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the clinical determination of VEGF in the human serum samples, and the results illustrated an excellent correlation with the conventional ELISA method (R2 = 0.997). The suitable recovery rate of the method in the serum ranged from 97 to 107%, with a relative standard deviation of 1.2% to 13.4%. Conclusions The novel immunoassay proposes a highly sensitive, specific, and stable method for very low levels detection of VEGF that can be used in the primary diagnosis of tumors. With the well-designed sensing platform, this approach has a broad potential to be applied for quantitative analysis of numerous disease-related protein biomarkers for which antibodies are available.![]()

Abstract
Aptamers are small biomolecules composed of 20-100 nucleotides that recognize target molecules in three-dimensional structures. These natural targeting molecules have attracted interest in the biomedical field as biomarkers for cancer diagnostics. In this study, we investigated the interaction of a characteristic aptamer with its target protein, Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD 4), on a gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surface under experimental conditions. For this purpose, we applied two protocols to coat SOD 4 aptamer (APT) on the nanoparticle surface: carbodiimide chemistry (EDC/NHS) (Method ON) and a complexation methodology (Method IN). The nano-aptamer's interactions with SOD 4 were detected by UV-vis absorption and Raman spectroscopy in a range of protein concentrations (from 1 μM to 50 nM). We believe that the interaction is heavily dependent on the nature of the biomarker (SOD 4) and also on the steric arrangement of the aptamer on the gold nanoparticle surface. The lowest detectable concentration (limit of detection, LOD) was about 2 nM for APT IN PEG-AuNPs and 8 nM for APT ON PEG-AuNPs. For the first time, we demonstrated a very sensitive detection of SOD 4 in the nanomolar concentration range with new ways of biosensor synthesis (APT IN and ON), providing a very strong tool to understand the effect of aptamer conformation to detect SOD 4.

Abstract
Citrate and polyvinyl alcohol capped gold nanoparticles (PVA-GNPs) were synthesized via chemical reduction technique and fully characterized by DLS, SEM, EDS, XRD, UV-Vis and FT-IR analysis. A simple and practical colorimetric sensor based on red-ox reaction of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DABA) as ehrlich's bio-reagent and Au(III) with H2O2 on PVA-GNPs mimic catalyst with enzyme-like activity, has been fabricated for determination of F-, Br- and I- halide anions. Prepared PVA-GNPs, can simultaneously catalyze the disintegration of H2O2, that used to reduce Au(III) ions into co-doped Au-NPs and oxidation of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde ehrlich's bio-reagent while in the presence of halide ions Au-X complex can be formed and improved sensor selectivity. Halide ions (F-, Br- and I-) effectively diminishes the catalytic activity of GNPs to disintegrate oxygenated water by the interaction among Au+ and Au0 and suppressing oxidation of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde ehrlich's bio-reagent. In this system which contains PVA-GNPs, H2O2, p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde ehrlich's bio-reagent, and Au(III), increasing the halide ions (F-, Br- and I-) concentration show color changes from deep green to red. In view of this rule, in this work, a novel colorimetric technique for sensitive determination of F-, Br- and I- was developed. This method has the detection limits of 2.60 × 10-6 M, 6.64 × 10-8 M and 9.93 × 10-9 M and linear ranges between 1.98 × 10-5-1.22 × 10-3 M, 1.99 × 10-6-2.0 × 10-4 M and 1.07 × 10-7- 2.86 × 10-5 M for F-, Br- and I-, respectively. Assays are highly selective over other ions. They effectively applied to detection of halide ions in real water samples.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a noninvasive therapy mode has attracted considerable attention in the field of oncotherapy. However, the PDT efficacy is restricted either by the tumor hypoxia environment or the inherent properties of photosensitizers (PSs) including bad water solution, photobleaching, and easy aggregation. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework, Sm-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) nanosheets, by assembling transition metal ions (Sm3+) and PSs (TCPP), on which the catalase (CAT)-mimicking platinum nanozymes were then in situ grown for sufficient oxygen supply during PDT. The prepared Sm-TCPP with nanoplate morphology (∼100 nm in diameter) and ultrathin thickness (<10 nm) showed significantly enhanced 1O2 generation capacity due to the improved physicochemical properties and the enhanced intersystem crossing from heavy Sm nodes. More importantly, the CAT-mimicking Pt nanozyme on the Sm-TCPP nanosheets could effectively convert over-expressed H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment into O2 to relieve tumor hypoxia. Further, the triphenylphosphine (TPP) molecule was introduced to Sm-TCPP-Pt to develop a mitochondrion-targeting and O2 self-supply PDT system. The in vitro and in vivo experimental results based on the MCF-7 breast cancer model revealed that Sm-TCPP-Pt/TPP could relieve tumor hypoxia and the generated reactive oxygen species nearby intracellular mitochondria significantly induced cell apoptosis. This study offers an engineering strategy to integrate 2D PS-based metal-organic frameworks and nanozymes into a nanoplatform to surmount the pitfalls of traditional PDT.

Abstract
Herein, a highly selective and sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform was developed for vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) assay based on the porous Cu2O-CuO flower-induced photocurrent-polarity switching of the CdS quantum dots (QDs) modified indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The porous Cu2O-CuO flower with uniform size and large surface area was successfully synthesized by taking Cu-MOF (HKUST-1) as the precursor. Through VEGF165-triggered catalytic hairpin assembly process, the porous Cu2O-CuO flower was introduced to the surface of the CdS QDs/ITO electrode, resulting in the switching of the photocurrent polarity from anodic current to cathodic current. Based on the uniform particle size, high specific surface area, good photoelectric conversion efficiency, and photocurrent polarity switching ability of porous Cu2O-CuO flower, the proposed sensing platform showed excellent assay performance for VEGF165 with a linear response range from 1 to 3000 fM, a detection limit of 0.3 fM, and high selectivity. By changing the specific aptamer, the proposed sensing platform could be easily extended to detect other proteins, and may have a promising application in bioanalysis and early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
A highly uniform 3D flower-like hierarchical AgCl microsphere was prepared by sonochemical method with the existence of β-dextrin. The 3D flower-like hierarchical structure can be ascribed to the existence of β-dextrin, which provides nucleation sites for the growth of nanosheets because of the strong interaction between β-dextrin and Ag+. The 3D flower-like hierarchical AgCl microspheres were assembled by numerous interleaving nanosheet petals with small thickness. Benefiting from the unique structural features, the as-prepared 3D flower-like hierarchical AgCl microsphere exhibited higher degradation efficiency with degrading 98.17% of methylene blue (MB) and 88.50% of tetracycline (TC) within 40 min, which were both remarkably higher than those of irregular AgCl under visible light irradiation. Besides, the photocatalytic degradation rate constant of 3D flower-like hierarchical AgCl microsphere (0.063 min-1) for MB was 3.94 times higher than that of irregular AgCl (0.016 min-1). Moreover, a possible mechanism for the formation and excellent photocatalytic performance of 3D flower-like hierarchical AgCl microsphere was also proposed.

Abstract
To expand the applications of flexible biosensors in point-of-care healthcare applications beyond monitoring of biophysical parameters, it is important to devise strategies for the detection of various proteins and biomarkers. Here, we demonstrate a flexible, fully organic, biodegradable, label-free impedimetric biosensor for the critical biomarker, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This biosensor was constructed by photolithographically patterning a conducting ink consisting of a photoreactive silk sericin coupled with a conducting polymer. These functional electrodes are printed on flexible fibroin substrates that are controllably thick and can be free-standing, or conform to soft surfaces. Detection was accomplished via the antibody to VEGF which was immobilized within the conducting matrix. The results indicated that the developed flexible biosensor was highly sensitive and selective to the target protein, even in challenging biofluids such as human serum. The biosensors themselves are biocompatible and degradable. Through this work, the developed flexible biosensor based on a simple and label-free strategy can find practical applications in the monitoring of wound healing or early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
An aptamer-based assay is described for the determination of trace levels of the cancer marker human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) and living MCF-7 cells. The method is based on the use of a bimetallic MnFe Prussian blue analogue coupled to gold nanoparticles (MnFePBA@AuNP). Compared to pristine MnFe PBA nanocubes, the series of MnFePBA@AuNP exhibits a core-shell spherical nanostructure, and the shell thickness decreases from 99.9 nm down to 49.3 nm on increasing the fraction of AuNPs. The composite was placed on a gold electrode and incubated with the aptamer solution through electrostatic interaction. Then the modified electrode was employed to detect HER2 and MCF-7 cells using [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as redox probe and displays good responses to both of them. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data show that the signal variation between each step during the whole procedure for the HER2 and MCF-7 cells detection can be embodied as the resistance value change between the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and electrode surface. The assay has a very low detection limit (0.247 pg∙mL-1) and works in the 0.001-1.0 ng∙mL-1 HER2 concentration range. It was also used to sense HER2 in MCF-7 cells, and this results in an assay that works within the 500-5 × 104 cell∙mL-1 cell concentration range and a 36 cell∙mL-1 detection limit. Furthermore, the aptamer-based assay is selective, acceptably reproducible, stable, and well feasible for the detection of HER2 and living MCF-7 cells in human serum.

It was employed as the aptasensor for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), and living MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Purpose: Lately, bismuth-based nanomaterials have been widely utilized in medical researches such as imaging, drug delivery and radio-sensitization. Despite their advantages, bismuth-based compounds have shown toxic effects in humans. There are few studies on cytotoxicity effects of bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) in-vitro. In this study, we aimed to investigate cytotoxicity of bare and also folate and 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-conjugated Bi2O3 NPs on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KB) and lung cancer (A549) cell lines. Methods: Bi2O3 NPs were synthesized and conjugated with folate and 5-ALA. KB and A549 cells were cultured and incubated with 10, 20, 50 and 100 μg/ml concentrations of bare and folate-5-ALA-conjugated NPs. The survival rates were obtained after 2 and 24 hours incubation of the cells with NPs using MTT assay. Also, apoptosis and ROS generation induced by the NPs in the treated cells were obtained using Caspases-3 activity assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Results: Bi2O3 NPs were successfully synthesized with average size of 19.2 ± 6.5 nm, then conjugated with 5-ALA and folate. Either naked or folate-conjugated NPs were easily taken up by the cells in a concentration-dependent manner and showed cytotoxic effects. The significant cell death was noted at the concentrations more than 50 μg/ml for both compounds. Conclusion: Results indicated low cytotoxicity of the prepared NPs at lower incubation periods, which is very important for their further applications. However, 24 hours incubation of the cells with both forms of NPs caused more cell killing and the cytotoxicity increased with increasing concentrations of the NPs.

Abstract
In this study, a novel and efficient aptasensor based on immobilization of thiol terminated prostate specific antigen (PSA) binding DNA aptamer onto Au nanoparticles/fullerene C60-chitosan-ionic liquid/multiwalled carbon nanotubes/screen printed carbon electrode has been fabricated for ultrasensitive aptasensing of biomarker PSA. Formation of PSA-aptamer complex caused a variation in electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) responses of the aptasensor which enabled us to aptasensing of the PSA by EIS and DPV methods. Morphology and electrochemical properties of the fabricated aptasensor were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and EIS. The aptasensor was successfully applied to the determination of PSA by EIS and DPV in the range of 1-200 pg mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 pg mL-1 and 2.5-90 ng mL-1 with a LOD of 1.5 ng mL-1, respectively. This aptasensor exhibited outstanding anti-interference ability towards co-existing molecules with good stability, sensitivity, repeatability and reproducibility. Practical application of the aptasensor was examined with analysis of the PSA levels in serum samples obtained from patients with prostate cancer using both the aptasensor and a reference method. The results revealed the proposed system to be a promising candidate for clinical analysis of PSA.

Abstract
A new method of label free sensing approach with superior selectivity and sensitivity towards virlabel-freeon is presented here, employing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) behavior of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and fluorescent CdSeTeS quantum dots (QDs). Inorganic quaternary alloyed CdSeTeS QDs were capped with L-cysteine via a ligand exchange reaction. Alternatively, citrate stabilized AuNPs were functionalized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid to generate carboxylic group on the gold surface. The carboxylic group on the AuNPs was subjected to bind covalently with the amine group of L-cysteine capped CdSeTeS QDs to form CdSeTeS QDs/AuNPs nanocomposites. The fluorescence of CdSeTeS QDs/AuNPs nanocomposite shows quenched spectrum of CdSeTeS QDs at 640 nm due to the close interaction with AuNPs. However, after successive addition of norovirus-like particles (NoV-LPs), steric hindrance-induced LSPR signal from the adjacent AuNPs triggered the fluorescence enhancement of QDs in proportion to the concentration of the target NoV-LPs. A linear range of 10-14 to 10-9 g mL-1 NoV-LPs with a detection limit of 12.1 × 10-15 g mL-1 was obtained. This method was further applied on clinically isolated norovirus detection, in the range of 102-105 copies mL-1 with a detection limit of 95.0 copies mL-1, which is 100-fold higher than commercial ELISA kit. The superiority of the proposed sensor over other conventional sensors is found in its ultrasensitive detectability at low virus concentration even in clinically isolated samples. This proposed detection method can pave an avenue for the development of high performance and robust sensing probes for detection of virus in biomedical applications.

Abstract
We have developed a simple and green solution for the synthesis of catalytic gold-doped bismuth oxyiodide (Au/BiOI) nanocomposites at room temperature from an aqueous mixture of gold ions, bismuth ions, and iodide ions. Au nanoparticles (NPs) were formed in situ and doped into BiOI nanosheets. The oxygen vacancies generated in BiOI give rise to its oxidase-like activity, and Au doping facilitated the reaction leading to a 4-fold higher oxidase-like activity of the Au/BiOI nanocomposite. The Au/BiOI nanocomposites showed wide spectrum antimicrobial activity not only against non-multidrug-resistant E. coli, K. pneumoniae, S. enteritidis, S. aureus, and B. subtilis bacteria, but also against multidrug-resistant bacteria, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The gold doping reduced the minimal inhibitory concentration value by ∼2000-fold for the Au/BiOI nanocomposite, in comparison with only BiOI nanoparticles. The bactericidal property of the Au/BiOI nanocomposite arose from the combined effect of the disruption of the bacterial membrane through a strong interaction of the nanocomposite with the bacteria and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Also, the Au/BiOI nanocomposite is highly biocompatible, which has been demonstrated in vitro by analysis of cytotoxicity and hemolysis, and in vivo by evaluating ocular tissue responses. Furthermore, intrastromal administration of Au/BiOI nanocomposites can effectively alleviate S. aureus-induced bacterial keratitis in rabbits, suggesting a significant disinfectant benefit in preclinical studies. The Au/BiOI nanocomposites show great potential for the inactivation of bacterial pathogens in an aqueous environment and treatment of bacterial infection-induced diseases.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key regulator of vascular formation and a predominant protein biomarker in cancer angiogenesis. Owing to its crucial roles in the cancer metastasis, VEGF detection and quantification is of great importance in clinical diagnostics. Today, there exist a wide variety of detection strategies for identifying many types of disease biomarkers, especially for VEGF. As artificial single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides with catalytic and receptor properties, aptamers have drawn lots of attention to be applied in biosensing platforms due to their target-induced conformational changes as well as high stability and target versatility. So far, various sensitivity-enhancement techniques in combination with a broad range of smart nanomaterials have integrated into the design of novel aptasensors to improve detection limit and sensitivity of analyte detection. This review article provides a brief classification and description of the research progresses of aptamer-based biosensors and nanobiosensors for the detection and quantitative determination of VEGF based on optical and electrochemical platforms.

Abstract
By incorporating hemin into G-quadruplex (G4) during cation-templated self-assembly between guanosine and KB(OH)4, we have constructed an artificial enzyme hydrogel (AEH)-based system for the highly sensitive and selective detection of Pb2+. The sensing strategy is based on a Pb2+-induced decrease in AEH activity. Because of the higher efficiency of Pb2+ for stabilizing G4 compared with K+, the Pb2+ ions substitute K+ and trigger hemin release from G4, thus giving rise to a conformational interconversion accompanied by the loss of enzyme activity. The Pb2+-induced catalytic interconversion endows the AEH-based system with high sensitivity and selectivity for detecting Pb2+. As a result, the AEH-based system shows an excellent response for Pb2+ in the range from 1 pM to 50 nM with a limit of detection of ∼0.32 pM, which is much lower than that of the previously reported G4-DNAzyme. We also demonstrate that this AEH-based system exhibits high selectivity toward Pb2+ over other metal ions. Furthermore, two two-input INHIBIT logic gates have been constructed via switching of the catalytic interconversion induced by K+ and Pb2+ or K+ and pH. Given its versatility, this AEH-based system provides a novel platform for sensing and biomolecular computation.

Aptamer development topics range from discussions of basic and advanced versions of Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential Enrichment (SELEX) and SELEX variations involving incorporation of exotic unnatural nucleotides to expand library diversity for even greater aptamer affinity and specificity to improved next generation methods of DNA sequencing, screening and tracking aptamer development throughout the SELEX process and characterization of lead aptamer candidates. Aptamer assay development topics include descriptions of various colorimetric and fluorescent assays in microplates or on membranes including homogeneous beacon and multiplexed Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) assays. Finally, a discussion of the potential for marketing successful aptamer-based assays or test kits is included.

Abstract
A densely packed gold nanoparticles on the rGO-MWCNT platform was used as the basis for an ultrasensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor to detect the biomarker prostate specific antigen (PSA) in serum. The detection was based on that the variation of electron transfer resistance (Rct) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) current were relevant to the formation of PSA-aptamer complex at the modified electrode surface. Compared with pure AuNPs, rGO-MWCNT and MWCNT/AuNPs, the rGO-MWCNT/AuNPs nanocomposite modified electrode was the most sensitive aptasensing platform for the determination of PSA. Two calibration curves were prepared from the data obtained from the DPV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) by plotting the peak current and Rct against PSA concentration, respectively. The proposed aptasensor had an extremely low LOD of 1.0pgmL-1 PSA within the detection range of 0.005-20ngmL-1 and 0.005-100ngmL-1 for DPV and EIS calibration curves, respectively. This sensor exhibited outstanding anti-interference ability towards co-existing molecules with good stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility. Clinical application was performed with analysis of the PSA levels in serum samples obtained from patients with prostate cancer using both the aptasensor and Immunoradiometric assay. The results revealed the proposed system to be a promising candidate for clinical analysis of PSA.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanohybrids have created new and valuable opportunities for a wide range of catalysis and biotechnology applications. Here, we present a relatively simple method for producing nanohybrids composed of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that does not require an acidic pre-treatment of the CNTs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra revealed that Au NPs bonded to the CNT surface. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) revealed a stronger signal from Au-CNT nanohybrids than from pristine CNTs. The Au-CNT nanohybrids showed catalytic activity in the oxidation of 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) by H2O2 and developed a unique blue colour in aqueous solution. Because of the enhanced peroxidase-like activity of these Au-CNT nanohybrids, they were selected for use as part of a highly sensitive colorimetric test for influenza virus A (H3N2). In the presence of influenza A virus (H3N2) in the test system (specific antibody-conjugated Au CNT nanohybrids-TMB-H2O2), a deep blue colour developed, the optical density of which was dependent on the virus concentration (10-50,000 PFU/ml). The limit of detection of this proposed method was 3.4 PFU/ml, a limit 385 times lower than that of conventional ELISA (1312 PFU/ml). The sensitivity of this test was also 500 times greater than that of commercial immunochromatography kits. The nanohybrid preparation and colorimetric detection methods reported herein may be easily adapted to other nanohybrid structures with enzyme mimetic properties for broader applications in catalysis and nanobiotechnology.
