Abstract
For early diagnosis of disease, ultrasensitive mircoRNA-21 detection has considerable potential. In this paper, an ultra-sensitive fluorescence detection method for microRNA was developed by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This ATRP reaction was first initiated by using flavin mononucleotide (FADH2). The DNA probe 1 modified with amino group was fixed on the magnetic nanoparticle Fe3O4, and microRNA-21 was added to form the probe 1-microRNA-21. Another carboxy-modified DNA 2 forms a sandwich structure with the bound microRNA-21. Two terminally modified DNA types are used as microRNA probes, using complementary base pairing to form a stable super-sandwich structure between the DNA probe and the microRNA. Under optimal conditions, microRNA was detected in PBS buffer with a detection limit of 0.19 fM. And even in 10% of human serum, microRNA-21 can be detected with a detection limit of 47.8 fM. Results show that this method has high selectivity, efficiency and stability, which broad application prospect in microRNA ultra-sensitive detection.

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is an ideal candidate for liquid biopsy biomarkers. Therefore, detecting a low abundance of ctDNA is essential for early cancer diagnosis. Here, we developed a novel triple circulation amplification system integrating entropy and enzyme cascade-driven three-dimensional (3D) DNA walker and branched hybridization strand reaction (B-HCR) for ultrasensitive detection of breast cancer-related ctDNA. In this study, the 3D DNA walker was constructed by inner track probes (NH) and complex S on a microsphere. Once the DNA walker was triggered by the target, the strand replacement reaction ran first and kept circulating to rapidly displace the DNA walker containing 8-17 DNAzyme. Secondly, the DNA walker could repeatedly cleave NH autonomously along the inner track, generating numerous initiators, and then promoting B-HCR to activate the third cycle. Subsequently, the split G-rich fragments were brought in close to form the G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme by adding hemin, with the addition of H2O2 and ABTS, the target could be observed. Benefiting from triplex cycles, the PIK3CAE545K mutation detection possesses a good linear range from 1-103 fM, and the limit of detection was 0.65 fM. Due to the low cost and high sensitivity, the proposed strategy has great potential in early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification techniques have always been one of the hot spots of research, especially in the outbreak of COVID-19. From the initial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the current popular isothermal amplification, each new amplification techniques provides new ideas and methods for nucleic acid detection. However, limited by thermostable DNA polymerase and expensive thermal cycler, PCR is difficult to achieve point of care testing (POCT). Although isothermal amplification techniques overcome the defects of temperature control, single isothermal amplification is also limited by false positives, nucleic acid sequence compatibility, and signal amplification capability to some extent. Fortunately, efforts to integrating different enzymes or amplification techniques that enable to achieve intercatalyst communication and cascaded biotransformations may overcome the corner of single isothermal amplification. In this review, we systematically summarized the design fundamentals, signal generation, evolution, and application of cascade amplification. More importantly, the challenges and trends of cascade amplification were discussed in depth.

Abstract
The sensing of intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) is of significance for early-stage disease diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. DNA is an interesting building material that can be programed into assemblies with rigid and branched structures, especially suitable for imaging intracellular biomolecules or therapeutic drug delivery. Here, by introducing the palindromic sequences into the programmable DNA hairpins, we describe an endogenous target-responsive three-way branched and palindrome-assisted catalytic hairpin assembly (3W-pCHA) approach for imaging miRNA-155 of living tumor cells with high sensitivity. The miRNA-155 triggers autonomous assembly of the fluorescently quenched signal hairpin and two hairpin dimers formed via hybridization of their respective palindromic sequences to yield branched DNA junctions, which carry the unopened hairpins and thus provide addressable substrates for continuous assembly formation of DNA nanostructures. During the formation of the DNA nanostructures, the miRNA-155 is cyclically reused and many signal probes are unfolded to show highly intensified fluorescence for detecting miRNA-155 down to 6.9 pM in vitro with high selectivity. More importantly, these probes can be transfected into live cancer cells to initiate the assembly process triggered by intracellular miRNA-155, which provides a new way for imaging highly under-expressed miRNAs in cells. Besides, this approach can also be employed to differentiate miRNA-155 expression variations in different cells, indicating its promising potentials for early-stage disease diagnosis and biological studies in cells.

Abstract
Nucleic acid detection is of great importance in a variety of areas, from life science and clinical diagnosis to environmental monitoring and food safety. Unfortunately, nucleic acid targets are always found in trace amounts and their response signals are difficult to be detected. Amplification mechanisms are then practically needed to either duplicate nucleic acid targets or enhance the detection signals. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most popular and powerful techniques for nucleic acid analysis. But the requirement of costly devices for precise thermo-cycling procedures in PCR has severely hampered the wide applications of PCR. Fortunately, isothermal molecular reactions have emerged as promising alternatives. The past decade has witnessed significant progress in the research of isothermal molecular reactions utilizing hairpin DNA probes (HDPs). Based on the nucleic acid strand interaction mechanisms, the hairpin DNA-mediated isothermal amplification (HDMIA) techniques can be mainly divided into three categories: strand assembly reactions, strand decomposition reactions, and strand creation reactions. In this review, we introduce the basics of HDMIA methods, including the sensing principles, the basic and advanced designs, and their wide applications, especially those benefiting from the utilization of G-quadruplexes and nanomaterials during the past decade. We also discuss the current challenges encountered, highlight the potential solutions, and point out the possible future directions in this prosperous research area.

Abstract
Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is an efficient enzymatic isothermal reaction that using circular probe as a template to generate long tandem single-stranded DNA or RNA products under the initiation of short DNA or RNA primers. As a simplified derivative of natural rolling circle replication which synthesizes copies of circular nucleic acids molecules such as plasmids, RCA amplifies the circular template rapidly without thermal cycling and finds various applications in molecular biology. Compared with other amplification strategies, RCA has many obvious advantages. Firstly, because of the strict complementarity required in ligation of a padlock probe, it endows the RCA reaction with high specificity and can even be utilized to distinguish single base mismatches. Secondly, through the introduction of multiple primers, exponential amplification can be achieved easily and leads to a good sensitivity. Thirdly, RCA products can be customized by manipulating circular templates to generate functional nucleic acids such as aptamer, DNAzymes and restriction enzyme sites. Moreover, the RCA has good biocompatibility and is especially suitable for in situ detection. Therefore, RCA has attracted considerable attention as an efficient and potential tool for highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Herein, we comprehensively introduce the fundamental principles of RCA technology, summarize it from three aspects including initiation mode, amplification mode and signal output mode, and discuss the recent application of RCA-based biosensor in this review.

Abstract
Nucleic acid hybridization is crucial in target recognition with respect to in vitro and in vivo nucleic acid biosensing. Conventional linear probes and molecular beacons encounter challenges in multiplexing and specific recognition of intractable nucleic acids. Advances in nucleic acid nanotechnologies have resulted in a set of novel structural probes: junction probes (JPs), which make full use of the advantages of specificity, stability, programmability and predictability of Watson-Crick base pairing. In recent years, junction probes have been regularly implemented in constructing systems related to biosensing, synthetic biology and gene regulation. Herein, we summarize the latest advances in JP designs as potential nucleic acid biosensing systems and their expansive applications, and provide some general guidelines for developing JP based sensing strategies for implementation of such systems.

Abstract
Multi-component nucleic acid enzymes (MNAzymes) are allosteric deoxyribozymes that are activated upon binding of a specific nucleic acid effector. MNAzyme activity is limited due to an insufficient assembly of the MNAzyme and its turnover. In this work, we describe the successful improvement of MNAzyme reactivity and selectivity by addition of cationic copolymers, which exhibit nucleic acid chaperone-like activity. The copolymer allowed a 210-fold increase in signal activity and a 95-fold increase in the signal-to-background selectivity of MNAzymes constructed for microRNA (miRNA) detection. The selectivity of the MNAzyme for homologous miRNAs was demonstrated in a multiplex format in which isothermal reactions of two different MNAzymes were performed. In addition, the copolymer permitted miRNA detections even in the presence of a ribonuclease which is ubiquitous in environments, indicating the protective effect of the copolymer against ribonucleases.

Abstract
Dynamic DNA nanotechnology, a subfield of DNA nanotechnology, is concerned with the study and application of nucleic acid strand-displacement reactions. Strand-displacement reactions generally proceed by three-way or four-way branch migration and initially were investigated for their relevance to genetic recombination. Through the use of toeholds, which are single-stranded segments of DNA to which an invader strand can bind to initiate branch migration, the rate with which strand displacement reactions proceed can be varied by more than 6 orders of magnitude. In addition, the use of toeholds enables the construction of enzyme-free DNA reaction networks exhibiting complex dynamical behavior. A demonstration of this was provided in the year 2000, in which strand displacement reactions were employed to drive a DNA-based nanomachine (Yurke, B.; et al. Nature 2000, 406, 605-608). Since then, toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions have been used with ever increasing sophistication and the field of dynamic DNA nanotechnology has grown exponentially. Besides molecular machines, the field has produced enzyme-free catalytic systems, all DNA chemical oscillators and the most complex molecular computers yet devised. Enzyme-free catalytic systems can function as chemical amplifiers and as such have received considerable attention for sensing and detection applications in chemistry and medical diagnostics. Strand-displacement reactions have been combined with other enzymatically driven processes and have also been employed within living cells (Groves, B.; et al. Nat. Nanotechnol. 2015, 11, 287-294). Strand-displacement principles have also been applied in synthetic biology to enable artificial gene regulation and computation in bacteria. Given the enormous progress of dynamic DNA nanotechnology over the past years, the field now seems poised for practical application.

Abstract
We have developed a new enzyme-free method for target sequence DNA detection based on the dynamic quenching of fluorescent silicon nanodots (SiNDs) toward Cy5-tagged DNA probe. Fascinatingly, the water-soluble SiNDs can quench the fluorescence of cyanine (Cy5) in Cy5-tagged DNA probe in homogeneous solution, and the fluorescence of Cy5-tagged DNA probe can be restored in the presence of target sequence DNA (the synthetic target miRNA-27a). Based on this phenomenon, a SiND-featured fluorescent sensor has been constructed for "turn-on" detection of the synthetic target miRNA-27a for the first time. This newly developed approach possesses the merits of low cost, simple design, and convenient operation since no enzymatic reaction, toxic reagents, or separation procedures are involved. The established method achieves a detection limit of 0.16 nM, and the relative standard deviation of this method is 9% (1 nM, n = 5). The linear range is 0.5-20 nM, and the recoveries in spiked human fluids are in the range of 90-122%. This protocol provides a new tactic in the development of the nonenzymic miRNA biosensors and opens a promising avenue for early diagnosis of miRNA-associated disease.

Abstract
With the continuous development and application of targeted drugs, it is particularly desirable to find a non-invasive diagnostic approach to screen patients for precision treatment. Specifically, detection of multiple cancer-related mutations is very important for targeted therapy and prediction of drug resistance. Although numerous advanced PCR methods have been developed to discriminate single nucleotide polymorphisms, their drawbacks significantly limit their application, such as low sensitivity and throughput, complicated operations, and expensive costs. In order to overcome these challenges, in this study, we developed a method combining multiplex and sensitive real-time PCR assay with rolling circle amplification. This allows specific and sensitive discrimination of the single nucleotide mutation and provides convenient multiplex detection by real-time PCR assay. The clinical potential of the MPRP assay was further demonstrated by comparing samples from 8 patients with a digital PCR assay. The coincident results between these two methods indicated that the MPRP assay can provide a specific, sensitive, and convenient method for multiplex detection of cancer-related mutations. The MPRP system for SNP discrimination was developed, which showed high specificity and sensitivity for multiplex detection of tumor-related mutations.![]()

Abstract
MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) play multiple crucial regulating roles in cell which can regulate one third of protein-coding genes. MiRNAs participate in the developmental and physiological processes of human body, while their aberrant adjustment will be more likely to trigger diseases such as cancers, kidney disease, central nervous system diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, viral infections and so on. What's worse, for the detection of miRNAs, their small size, high sequence similarity, low abundance and difficult extraction from cells impose great challenges in the analysis. Hence, it's necessary to fabricate accurate and sensitive biosensing platform for miRNAs detection. Up to now, researchers have developed many signal-amplification strategies for miRNAs detection, including hybridization chain reaction, nuclease amplification, rolling circle amplification, catalyzed hairpin assembly amplification and nanomaterials based amplification. These methods are typical, feasible and frequently used. In this review, we retrospect recent advances in signal amplification strategies for detecting miRNAs and point out the pros and cons of them. Furthermore, further prospects and promising developments of the signal-amplification strategies for detecting miRNAs are proposed.

Abstract
G-quadruplex DNAzymes that exhibited peroxidase-like activity have been shown to be appealing reporters for amplified readout of biosensing events simply by their formation or dissociation in the presence of analytes. For low background signaling, the efficient preblock of DNAzymes is critically important. Herein, we report a both-end blocked DNAzyme beacon strategy for chemiluminescent biosensing. The catalytic activity of peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme can be inactivated fully by fixing both ends of the DNAzyme sequence, and easily recovered via a strand displace reaction between the miRNA and the block DNA. The efficient block and recovery of DNAzymes provide the both-end blocked beacon the highest signal-to-background ratio (over 25) among the reported DNAzymes for amplification-free detection of miRNA. As a result, the beacon allowed detection of subpicomolar miRNA without any labeling and amplification procedures, which is about 40-fold more sensitive than the traditional hairpin fluorescence beacon. Also, it exhibited excellent discrimination ability that can distinguish single-base mismatch miRNA. The simplicity, high sensitivity, and selectivity provided by the beacon make it a promising alternative tool for nucleic acid detection.
