Abstract
Nearly 60 million people worldwide are infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), a bloodborne pathogen which leads to liver cirrhosis and increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Those with limited access to healthcare resources, such as injection drug users and people in low- and middle-income countries, carry the highest burden. The current diagnostic algorithm for HCV is slow and costly, leading to a significant barrier in diagnosis and treatment for those most at risk from HCV. There remains no available vaccine for HCV, and infection is often asymptomatic until significant cirrhosis has occurred, which makes screening incredibly important to prevent liver damage and transmission. Recent investigation has sought to address these issues through improvements in various aspects of the diagnostic procedure, using methods such as isothermal amplification techniques for viral RNA amplification, the use of viral protein as an analyte, and the incorporation of streamlined, self-contained testing systems to reduce administrative skill requirements. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current commercial standards and novel improvements in HCV diagnostics, as well as a framework for future integration of these improvements to develop a one-step diagnostic that meets the needs of those most affected.

Abstract
Viral hepatitis is a systemic infectious diseases caused by various hepatitis viruses, primarily leading to liver damage. It is widely prevalent worldwide, with hepatitis viruses categorized into five types: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, based on their etiology. Currently, the detection of hepatitis viruses relies on methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoelectron microscopy to observe and identify viral particles, and in situ hybridization to detect viral DNA in tissues. However, these methods have limitations, including low sensitivity, high error rates in results, and potential false negative reactions due to occult serum infection conditions. To address these challenges, we have designed an AuNPs-DNA walker method that uses gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and complementary DNA strands for detecting viral DNA fragments through a colorimetric assay and fluorescence detection. The DNA walker, attached to gold nanoparticles, comprises a long walking strand with a probe sequence bound and stem-loop structural strands featuring a modified fluorescent molecule at the 3' end, which contains the DNAzyme structural domain. Upon the addition of virus fragments, the target sequence binds to the probe chains. Subsequently, the long walking strand is released and continuously hybridizes with the stem-loop structural strand. The DNAzyme undergoes hydrolytical cleavage by Mg2+, breaking the stem-loop structural strand into linear single strands. As a result of these structural changes, the negative charge density in the solution decreases, weakening spatial repulsion and rapidly reducing the stability of the DNA walker. This leads to aggregation upon the addition of a high-salt solution, accompanied by a color change. Virus typing can be performed through fluorescence detection. The innovative method can detect DNA/RNA fragments with high specificity for the target sequence, reaching concentrations as low as 1 nM. Overall, our approach offers a more convenient and reliable method for the detection of hepatitis viruses.

Development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering-sensing Method by combining novel Ag@Au core/shell nanoparticle-based SERS probe with hybridization chain reaction for high-sensitive detection of hepatitis C virus nucleic acid. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05219-7. [PMID: 38436691 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05219-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
The ultrasensitive detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) nucleic acid is crucial for the early diagnosis of hepatitis C. In this study, by combining Ag@Au core/shell nanoparticle (Ag@AuNP)-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag with hybridization chain reaction (HCR), a novel SERS-sensing method was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of HCV nucleic acid. This SERS-sensing system comprised two different SERS tags, which were constructed by modifying Ag@AuNP with a Raman reporter molecule of 4-ethynylbezaldehyde, two different hairpin-structured HCR sequences (H1 or H2), and a detection plate prepared by immobilizing a capture DNA sequence onto the Ag@AuNP layer surface of the detection wells. When the target nucleic acid was present, the two SERS tags were captured on the surface of the Ag@AuNP-coated detection well to generate many "hot spots" through HCR, forming a strong SERS signal and realizing the ultrasensitive detection of the target HCV nucleic acid. The limit of detection of the SERS-sensing method for HCV nucleic acid was 0.47 fM, and the linear range was from 1 to 105 fM.

Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:386. [PMID: 36125616 PMCID: PMC9486763 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05467-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A new detection strategy was developed to improve the sensitivity of a lateral flow immunoassay platform utilizing a delayed hydrophobic barrier fabricated with trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC). The SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (SARS-CoV-2 SP RBD) antigen was chosen as a model analyte to demonstrate the superior detectability of this scheme. The novel device consists of 2 separate layers, so-called delayed lateral flow immunoassay (d-LFIA). The upper layer is intended for the analyte or sample flow path, where the test solution flows freely straight to the detection zone to bind with the primary antibody. The lower layer, located just underneath, is designed for the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain-conjugated gold nanoparticles (SARS-CoV-2 SP RBD-AuNPs) used for producing a colorimetric signal. This layer is fabricated with a TMSC barrier to time-delay the movement of SARS-CoV-2 SP RBD-AuNPs, thus allowing the antigen to bind with the primary antibody more efficiently. This platform exhibited a 2.6-fold enhancement in the sensitivity and 9.1-fold improvement in the limit of detection (LOD) as compared with the conventional LFIA. In addition, this d-LFIA device was satisfactorily applied to accurate screening of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Rapid, simple, and inexpensive diagnostic point-of-care tests (POCTs) are essential for controlling infectious diseases in resource-limited settings. In this study, we developed a new detection system based on nanoparticle–DNA aggregation (STat aggregation of tagged DNA, STAT-DNA) to yield a visual change that can be easily detected by the naked eye. This simplified optical detection system was applied to detect hepatitis C virus (HCV). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed using primers labeled with biotin and digoxigenin. Streptavidin-coated magnetic particles (1 μm) and anti-digoxigenin antibody-coated polystyrene particles (250–350 nm) were added to form aggregates. The limit of detection (LoD) and analytical specificity were analyzed. The STAT-DNA results were compared with those of the standard real-time PCR assay using serum samples from 54 patients with hepatitis C. We achieved visualization of amplified DNA with the naked eye by adding nanoparticles to the PCR mixture without employing centrifugal force, probe addition, incubation, or dilution. The LoD of STAT-DNA was at least 101 IU/mL. STAT-DNA did not show cross-reactivity with eight viral pathogens. The detection using STAT-DNA was consistent with that using standard real-time PCR.

Abstract
Viral infections are responsible for the deaths of millions of people throughout the world. Since outbreak of highly contagious and mutant viruses such as contemporary sars-cov-2 pandemic, has challenged the conventional diagnostic methods, the entity of a thoroughly sensitive, specific, rapid and inexpensive detecting technique with minimum level of false-positivity or -negativity, is desperately needed more than any time in the past decades. Biosensors as minimized devices could detect viruses in simple formats. So far, various nucleic acid, immune- and protein-based biosensors were designed and tested for recognizing the genome, antigen, or protein level of viruses, respectively; however, nucleic acid-based sensing techniques, which is the foundation of constructing genosensors, are preferred not only because of their ultra-sensitivity and applicability in the early stages of infections but also for their ability to differentiate various strains of the same virus. To date, the review articles related to genosensors are just confined to particular pathogenic diseases; In this regard, the present review covers comprehensive information of the research progress of the electrochemical, optical, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) genosensors that applied for human viruses' diseases detection and also provides a well description of viruses' clinical importance, the conventional diagnosis approaches of viruses and their disadvantages. This review would address the limitations in the current developments as well as the future challenges involved in the successful construction of sensing approaches with the functionalized nanomaterials and also allow exploring into core-research works regarding this area.

Abstract
A sensor system based on a piezoelectric resonator with a lateral electric field in the frequency range 6-7 MHz of the electric field for virus detection is described. Through use of the transmissible virus causing gastroenteritis in pigs and specific antibodies, the possibility of detecting the virus in suspension in real time was determined. It was found that the frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the electrical impedance of such a resonator loaded with a virus suspension changes significantly after the addition of specific antibodies to the suspension. No changes are observed if the antibodies are not specific. Thus, the results obtained illustrate the possibility of detecting viruses in situ, directly in the liquid phase, if the change in the real or imaginary parts of the electrical impedance after the addition of antibodies is used as an analytical signal. The possibility of virus detection in the presence of foreign viral particles has been illustrated.

Abstract
The novel human coronavirus pandemic is one of the most significant occurrences in human civilization. The rapid proliferation and mutation of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have created an exceedingly challenging situation throughout the world's healthcare systems ranging from underdeveloped countries to super-developed countries. The disease is generally recognized as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and it is caused by a new human CoV, which has put mankind in jeopardy. COVID-19 is death-dealing and affects people of all ages, including the elderly and middle-aged people, children, infants, persons with co-morbidities, and immunocompromised patients. Moreover, multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants have evolved as a result of genetic alteration. Some variants cause severe symptoms in patients, while others cause an unusually high infection rate, and yet others cause extremely severe symptoms as well as a high infection rate. Contrasting with a previous epidemic, COVID-19 is more contagious since the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 demonstrates profuse affection to angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) that is copiously expressed on the surface of human lung cells. Since the estimation and tracking of viral loads are essential for determining the infection stage and recovery duration, a quick, accurate, easy, cheap, and versatile diagnostic tool is critical for managing COVID-19, as well as for outbreak control. Currently, Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) testing is the most often utilized approach for COVID-19 diagnosis, while Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the chest are used to assess the disease's stages. However, the RT-PCR method is non-portable, tedious, and laborious, and the latter is not capable of detecting the preliminary stage of infection. In these circumstances, nano-biosensors can play an important role to deliver point-of-care diagnosis for a variety of disorders including a wide variety of viral infections rapidly, economically, precisely, and accurately. New technologies are being developed to overcome the drawbacks of the current methods. Nano-biosensors comprise bioreceptors with electrochemical, optical, or FET-based transduction for the specific detection of biomarkers. Different types of organic-inorganic nanomaterials have been incorporated for designing, fabricating, and improving the performance and analytical ability of sensors by increasing sensitivity, adsorption, and biocompatibility. The particular focus of this review is to carry out a systematic study of the status and perspectives of synthetic routes for nano-biosensors, including their background, composition, fabrication processes, and prospective applications in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are emerging as one of the foremost challenges in healthcare owing to its chronicity and the virus's quasispecies nature. Worldwide, over 170 million people are chronically infected with HCV, with an annual mortality of over 500,000 people across the world. The emerging pathophysiological evidence links HCV infections to a risk of developing liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite the great strides that have been made towards understanding the pathophysiology of disease progression, the tailored treatments of HCV infection remain to be established. The present review provides an update of the literature pertaining to evolving therapeutic approaches and prophylactic measures for the effective management of HCV infections. An extensive discussion of established and experimental immune prophylactic measures also sheds light on current developments in the design of vaccination strategies against HCV infection. We have also attempted to address the application of nanotechnology in formulating effective therapeutic interventions against HCV. Pointing out the limitations of the existing diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches against HCV might inspire the design and development of novel, efficient, reliable, and cost-effective diagnostic technologies as well as novel therapeutic and immune prophylactic interventions for the effective management of HCV.

Abstract
In this study, a novel colorimetric sensor was introduced to detect tobramycin (TOB) based on controlling the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by the three-way junction aptamer pockets. In the absence of TOB, the surfaces of AuNPs were masked by the three-way junction pockets that prevented their catalytic activation for the reduction of 4-Nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH4. While the formation of the pockets was prevented in the presence of TOB that facilitated the 4-Nitrophenol access to AuNPs. Hence, the catalytic reduction of 4-Nitrophenol induced a color change of the solution from yellow to colorless, highlighting the presence of the target. The aptasensing assay provided good target specificity with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.16 µM and a linear dynamic range over 4-32 µM. The aptasensor was successfully applied to quantitatively monitor TOB in the human serum and milk samples with the LODs of 1.38 and 1.42 µM and recovery values of 94.87-105.75% and 93.75-105.31%, respectively.

Abstract
Viruses are infectious agents that pose significant threats to plants, animals, and humans. The current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread globally and resulted in over 2 million deaths and immeasurable financial losses. Rapid and sensitive virus diagnostics become crucially important in controlling the spread of a pandemic before effective treatment and vaccines are available. Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based testing holds great potential for this urgent unmet biomedical need. In this review, we describe the most recent advances in AuNP-based viral detection applications. In addition, we discuss considerations for the design of AuNP-based SARS-CoV-2 testings. Finally, we highlight and propose important parameters to consider for the future development of effective AuNP-based testings that would be critical for not only this COVID-19 pandemic, but also potential future outbreaks. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > In Vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are a potential risk for public health and the global economy. Fast and accurate detection of the pathogens that cause these infections is important to avoid the transmission of the diseases. Conventional methods for the detection of these microorganisms are time-consuming, costly, and not applicable for on-site monitoring. Biosensors can provide a fast, reliable, and point of care diagnostic. Nanomaterials, due to their outstanding electrical, chemical, and optical features, have become key players in the area of biosensors. This review will cover different nanomaterials that employed in electrochemical, optical, and instrumental biosensors for infectious disease diagnosis and how these contributed to enhancing the sensitivity and rapidity of the various sensing platforms. Examples of nanomaterial synthesis methods as well as a comprehensive description of their properties are explained. Moreover, when available, comparative data, in the presence and absence of the nanomaterials, have been reported to further highlight how the usage of nanomaterials enhances the performances of the sensor.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide variation (SNV) detection plays significant roles in disease diagnosis and treatment. Generally, auxiliary probe, restricted design rules, complicated detection system, and repeated experimental parameter optimization are needed to obtain satisfactory tradeoff between sensitivity and selectivity for SNV discrimination, especially when different mutant sites need to be distinguished. To overcome these limitations, we developed a universal, straightforward, and relatively cheap SNV discrimination strategy, which simultaneously possessed high sensitivity and selectivity. The excellent performance of this strategy was ascribed to the SNV discrimination property of endonuclease IV (Endo IV) and the different hydrolysis behavior between free deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) and the trapped DNAzyme to the substrates modified on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). When Endo IV recognized the mutant-type target (MT), free DNAzyme was released from the probe, and the DNAzyme motor was activated with the help of cofactor Mn2+ to generate an amplified fluorescence signal. On the contrary, the wild-type target (WT) could not effectively trigger the DNAzyme motor. Moreover, for different SNV types, the corresponding probe could be designed by simply changing the sequence hybridized with the target and retaining the DNAzyme sequence. Thus, the fluorescence signal generation system does not need to change for different SNV targets. Five clinical-related SNVs were determined with the limit of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.01 to 0.05%, which exhibited competitive sensitivity over existing SNV detection methods. This strategy provided another insight into the properties of Endo IV and DNAzyme, expanded the applications of DNAzyme motor, and has great potential to be used for precision medicine.

Abstract
The problem of functionalizing and coating nanoparticles with surfactants dispersed in a colloid is a prevalent case in nanoscience and related studies. It is known that surfactants could easily cause a shift in the absorption peak in metallic nanoparticles (NPs). Here, a precise theoretical model is presented to simulate the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectrum of a colloid containing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the presence of different surfactants. Based on the Lorentz-Drude model, this model is able to justify the fact that surfactants with a higher refractive index lead to movement of the absorption peak toward longer wavelengths (red shift). Also, relative concentrations of agents in a solvent can be analyzed using this model. The presented descriptive model illustrates gold-based biosensors with a physical point of view that leads to an increase in their efficiency. Several experimental cases are considered and are examined to calculate and compare the refractive index of the surfactants. In accordance with the results, it is found that this model is compatible with a wide range of molecular sizes, and here, the model is applied for a typical size range of micromolecules such as citrate ions to macromolecules such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a polyether. The suggested method revealed that it is appropriate for different surfactants with various chemical structures and refractive indexes. Utilization of approximations in this theoretical model is limited, thus, a method with the least deviation from real measurements has been introduced. The applicability of this model can be extended to practical purposes, including optical bio-sensors and detectors of organic and biological moieties such as viruses and antibodies.

Abstract
The rapid propagation of novel human coronavirus 2019 and its emergence as a pandemic raising morbidity calls for taking more appropriate measures for rapid improvement of present diagnostic techniques which are time‐consuming, labour‐intensive and non‐portable. In this scenario, biosensors can be considered as a means to outmatch customary techniques and deliver point‐of‐care diagnostics for many diseases in a much better way owing to their speed, cost‐effectiveness, accuracy, sensitivity and selectivity. Besides this, these biosensors have been aptly used to detect a wide spectrum of viruses thus facilitating timely delivery of correct therapy. The present review is an attempt to analyse such different kinds of biosensors that have been implemented for virus detection. Recently, the field of nanotechnology has given a great push to diagnostic techniques by the development of smart and miniaturised nanobiosensors which have enhanced the diagnostic procedure and taken it to a new level. The portability, hardiness and affordability of nanobiosensor make them an apt diagnostic agent for different kinds of viruses including SARS‐CoV‐2. The role of such novel nanobiosensors in the diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2 has also been addressed comprehensively in the present review. Along with this, the challenges and future position of developing such ultrasensitive nanobiosensors which should be taken into consideration before declaring these nano‐weapons as the ideal futuristic gold standard of diagnosis has also been accounted for here.

Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic is the most challenging incident that people have faced in recent years. Despite the time-consuming and expensive conventional methods, point-of-care diagnostics have a crucial role in deterrence, timely detection, and intensive care of the disease's progress. Hence, this detrimental health emergency persuaded researchers to accelerate the development of highly-scalable diagnostic devices to control the propagation of the virus even in the least developed countries. The strategies exploited for detecting COVID-19 stem from the already designed systems for studying other maladies, particularly viral infections. The present report reviews not only the novel advances in portable diagnostic devices for recognizing COVID-19, but also the previously existing biosensors for detecting other viruses. It discusses their adaptability for identifying surface proteins, whole viruses, viral genomes, host antibodies, and other biomarkers in biological samples. The prominence of different types of biosensors such as electrochemical, optical, and electrical for detecting low viral loads have been underlined. Thus, it is anticipated that this review will assist scientists who have embarked on a competition to come up with more efficient and marketable in-situ test kits for identifying the infection even in its incubation time without sample pretreatment. Finally, a conclusion is provided to highlight the importance of such an approach for monitoring people to combat the spread of such contagious diseases.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality globally, while cancer metastasis, which accounts for about 90% of cancer-related mortality, presents an extremely poor prognosis. Thus, various nanomedicines were designed and synthesized for cancer treatment, but nanomaterials could lead to endothelial leakiness and consequently facilitate intravasation and extravasation of cancer cells to form circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which were regarded as the potential metastatic seeds, possibly accelerating cancer metastasis. Neither possible metastatic sites were observed nor rare CTCs could be measured using common methods at the early stage of cancer metastasis, it is urgent to explore new technology to dynamically monitor nanomedicine promoted cancer metastasis with high sensitivity, which would be beneficial for cancer treatment as well as design and synthesis of nanomedicine. Herein, a novel optical biopsy tool i.e. in vivo flow cytometry (IVFC) was constructed to noninvasively and real-time monitor CTCs of tumor-bearing mice treated with various concentrations of Au nanoparticles. The in vivo experimental results demonstrated the promoted CTCs were Au nanoparticles dose-dependent consistent with the in vitro results, which showed Au nanoparticles induced dose-dependent gaps in the blood vessel endothelial walls to accelerate CTCs formation, making IVFC a promising biopsy tool in fundamental, pre-clinical and clinical investigation of nanomedicine and cancer metastasis.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection worldwide is a major concern for causing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, the prevalence of HCV infection is estimated to be in the range of ∼3%. According to the World Health Organization, antiviral drugs can cure more than 95% of the HCV infected cases, if timely diagnosis and treatment are provided. The gold standard RT-qPCR assay is expensive and requires a minimum turnaround time of 4 h. Hence, a rapid and cost-effective detection assay that can be used even in resource-limited settings would be highly beneficial for mass level screening. Herein, we present an Au NP based facile strategy for rapid, early-stage, and sensitive detection of HCV RNA in clinical samples which avoids thiol tagging to the antisense oligonucleotide and expensive infrastructure. This technique utilizes the hybridization of a short-chain antisense oligonucleotide from the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the viral genome with the isolated HCV RNA samples. Using a specific sequence universal to all HCV genotypes-obtained through the NCBI BLASTn tool-the HCV positive samples have stabilized the citrate capped Au NPs against salt-induced aggregation, retaining their red color. On the other hand, negative controls, including HBV and HIV positive samples, do not stabilize the Au NPs, which results in purple coloration. Besides, the assay is successfully tested with a RNase A enzyme-treated HCV positive sample, which does not stabilize the Au NPs, thus confirming the role of the viral HCV RNA in this strategy. This Au NP based assay takes about 30 min using the viral RNA isolate and has high specificity with a detection limit of 100 IU mL-1, which is ∼10 fold lower than the state-of-the-art Au NP based strategy.

Abstract
Domestic and industrial wastewater treatment systems are vital in the protection of natural ecosystems and human health. Identification of microbial communities in the systems is essential to stable treatment performance. However, the current tools of microbial community analysis are labor intensive and time consuming, and require expensive equipment. Therefore, we developed a simple assay for colorimetric quantification of bacterial 16S rRNA extracted from environmental samples. The assay is based on RNA extraction with commercial kits, mixing the unamplified RNA sample with Au-nanoprobes and NaCl, and analyzing the absorbance spectra. Our experimental results confirmed that the assay format was valid. By analyzing the synthesized DNA, we optimized the operational parameters affecting the assay. We achieved adequate capture DNA density by setting the capture DNA probe concentration at 10 μM during the functionalization step. The required incubation time after NaCl addition was 30 min. The binding site of the target had negligible effect on DNA detection. Under the optimized condition, a calibration curve was created using 16S rRNA extracted from activated sludge. The curve was linear above 5.0 × 107 copies/μL of bacterial 16S rRNA concentration, and the limit of detection was 1.17 × 108 copies/μL. Using the calibration curve, the bacterial 16S rRNA concentration in activated sludge samples could be quantified with deviations between 48% and 208% against those determined by RT-qPCR. The findings of our study introduce an innovative tool for the quantification of 16S rRNA concentration as the activity of key bacteria in wastewater treatment processes, achieving stable treatment performance.

Abstract
Contamination of milk by mycotoxins is a serious problem worldwide. Herein, we focused on the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AflB1) using a paper microfluidic device fabricated with specific aptamers as biorecognition elements. The fabrication process resulted in the generation of a leak proof microfluidic device where two zones were designed: control and test. Detection is achieved by color change when aflatoxin reacts with an aptamer followed by salt induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles. Specific aptamers for aflatoxin B1 were immobilized successfully onto the surface of gold nanoparticles. Biophysical characterization of the conjugated AuNPs-aptamer was done by UV-vis spectroscopy, DLS (dynamic light scattering), TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Under optimal conditions, the microfluidic device showed an excellent response for aflatoxin B1 detection in the range of 1 pM to 1 μM with a detection limit of up to 10 nM in spiked samples. Disadvantages associated with conventional techniques of ELISA were overcome by this one step detection technique with low operation cost, simple instrumentation, and user-friendly format with no interference due to chromatographic separation. The developed microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) can provide a tool for on-site detection of food toxins in less than a minute which is the main requirement for both qualitative and quantitative analysis in food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) have been widely used as reporters in colorimetric assays targeting nucleic acids. CPEs provide naked eye detection possibility by their superior optical properties however, as concentration of target analytes decrease, trace amounts of nucleic acid typically yield colorimetric responses that are not readily perceivable by naked eye. Herein, we report a pixelated analysis approach for correlating colorimetric responses of CPE with nucleic acid concentrations down to 1 nM, in plasma samples, utilizing a smart phone with an algorithm that can perform analytical testing and data processing. The detection strategy employed relies on conformational transitions between single stranded nucleic acid-cationic CPE duplexes and double stranded nucleic acid-CPE triplexes that yield distinct colorimetric responses for enabling naked eye detection of nucleic acids. Cationic poly[N,N,N-triethyl-3-((4-methylthiophen-3-yl)oxy)propan-1-aminium bromide] is utilized as the CPE reporter deposited on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane for nucleic acid assay. A smart phone application is developed to capture and digitize the colorimetric response of the individual pixels of the digital images of CPE on the PVDF membrane, followed by an analysis using the algorithm. The proposed pixelated approach enables precise quantification of nucleic acid assay concentrations, thereby eliminating the margin of error involved in conventional methodologies adopted for interpretation of colorimetric responses, for instance, RGB analysis. The obtained results illustrate that a ubiquitous smart phone could be utilized for point of care colorimetric nucleic acids assays in complex matrices without requiring sophisticated software or instrumentation.

Abstract
Aim: The current work highlighted a novel colorimetric sensor based on aptamer and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that was developed for cocaine detection with high sensitivity. Materials & methods: Due to the presence of the plasmon resonance band on the surface of AuNPs, AuNPs aggregated and the color was changed from red to blue after adding a certain concentration of NaCl. We used MoS2 to optimize the sensing system of AuNPs. The folded conformation of the aptamer in combination with cocaine enhanced the salt tolerance of the MoS2-AuNPs, effectively preventing their aggregation. Results & conclusion: The detection limit of cocaine was 7.49 nM with good selectivity. The method based on MoS2-AuNPs colorimetry sensor is simple, quick, label-free and low cost.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer (HM@MIP) nanoprobes were designed form the pH-responsive polymer (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMA)) and MIL-101. This probe was applied to the selective determination of hepatitis A virus (HAV) through Resonance light scattering (RLS) technique. DMA adjusts pH of the system to facilitate the capture and release of virus by HM@MIPs as anticipated. And it results in the enhancement or weaken of RLS intensity. According to RLS intensity at 470 nm, a linear concentration of 0.02-2.0 nmol·L-1 and a limit of detection of 0.1 pmol·L-1 were obtained within 20 min. The excellent recoveries ranges from 88% to 107%, and it indicates the prominent ability of the HM@MIPs to determination HAV in human serum and their potential ability to determination virus in real applications.

Abstract
Ureaplasma urealyticum (uu) is one of the most common agents of urogenital infections and is associated with complications such as infertility, spontaneous abortion and other sexually transmitted diseases. Here, a DNA sensor based on oligonucleotide target-specific gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed, in which the dispersed and aggregated states of oligonucleotide-functionalised AuNPs were optimised for the colorimetric detection of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicon of U. urealyticum DNA. A non-cross-linking approach utilising a single Au-nanoprobe specific of the urease gene was utilised and the effect of a PCR product concentration gradient evaluated. Results from both visual and spectral analyses showed that target-Au-nanoprobe hybrids were stable against aggregation after adding the inducer. Furthermore, when a non-target PCR product was used, the peak position shifted and salt-induced aggregation occurred. The assay's limit of detection of the assay was 10 ng with a dynamic range of 10-60 ng. This procedure provides a rapid, facile and low-cost detection format, compared to methods currently used for the identification of U. urealyticum.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticle-core spherical nucleic acids (AuNP core-SNAs), by virtue of the programmable nature of oligonucleotides, have yielded access to the innovative strategies for targeted biodiagnostics. Here, DNA-directed self-assembly of AuNP core-SNAs has been used to design a colorimetric method to sense HIV-1 viral nucleic acid. This strategy utilizes an oligonucleotide with sequence of 5'-untranslated region (5' UTR) of the HIV-1 RNA genome anchored on the surface of AuNPs and a complementary linker strand with a palindromic sequence tail. In the absence of HIV-1 target nucleic acid the complementary linker induces self-assembly of SNAs based on sequence symmetry in the free palindromic tail which can bridge two DNA double helices. While in the presence of the target DNA, due to linker-target duplex formation, the colloidal stability and the red color of the SNAs solution are preserved. Picomole amounts of target DNA can easily be detected with the naked eyes. A 95-mer synthetic DNA strand with the same sequence of HIV-1 viral RNA was utilized for positive control of HIV-1 RNA. The selectivity of the selected linker was satisfactory up to 90% match.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of large viruses has been a great obstacle in the field of molecular imprinting. In this work, for the first time, a multifunctional molecularly imprinted sensor for single or simultaneous determination of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is provided. Visual detection was realized due to the color of green and red quantum dots that varied with the concentration of the target substance. The combination of hydrophilic monomers and metal chelation reduced the nonspecific binding and enhanced the specificity of adsorption. As a result, satisfactory selectivity and sensitivity were obtained for the detection of the two viruses, with imprinting factors of 3.70 and 3.35 for HAV and HBV, and limits of detection of 3.4 and 5.3 pmol/L, respectively, that were achieved within 20 min. The excellent recoveries during simultaneous detection and single detection modes indicate the prominent ability of the proposed sensor to detect HAV and HBV in human serum and the potential ability to simultaneously detect multiple viruses in real applications.

Abstract
A rapid method for the sensitive detection of phenytoin (PHT) by branched gold nanoparticles (B-AuNPs) is described. These nanoparticles were synthesized by adding methanol as the reducing agent and poly(ethylene glycol) as the stabilizer at 70 °C. The B-AuNPs are red in color with an absorption maximum at 540 nm when prepared in situ. However, the color becomes increasingly weaker when PHT is present in increasing concentrations. This method can determine PHT over the 67-670 ng·mL-1 concentration range, with detection limit of 21 ng·mL-1. The relative standard deviation for five replicate measurements at 68 and 530 ng·mL-1 of PHT was 3.2% and 1.2%, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of PHT in plasma samples of epileptic patients, and the results were in agreement with those obtained by a standard official method. Graphical abstract Branched gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) prepared in situ have a red color with an absorption maximum at 540 nm. The color becomes increasingly weaker with decreasing the intensity of the characteristic SPR band when PHT is present in increasing concentration. The current assay is capable of determining PHT over the 67-670 ng·mL-1 concentration range with a limit of detection of 21 ng·mL-1.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is not easily cleared from the human body and in most cases turned into chronic infection. This chronicity is a major cause of liver damage, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, immediate detection and treatment of HCV guarantees eradication of the virus and prevention of chronicity complications. Since discovery of HCV in 1989, several emerging treatments were developed such as polyethylene glycol(PEG)-ylated interferon/ribavirin, direct acting antivirals and host targeting antivirals. Despite the progress in anti-HCV therapy, there is still a pressing need of new approaches for affordable and effective drug delivery systems using nanomedicine. In this review, the contribution of nanoparticles as a promising delivery system for HCV immunizing, diagnostic and therapeutic agents are discussed.

Abstract
Purpose The objective of this study is to develop a facile tool for the absolute detection and quantification of nucleic acid transcripts, using a gold nanoparticle-based optical biosensor. Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) and tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) were among the nucleic acid transcripts of choice due to their role as genomic instability biomarkers and their implication in various cancers and neurologic disorders. This opens the door to develop a simple tool that can be used for diagnosing and monitoring treatment response for such diseases, overcoming the requirements for high cost, time, and complexity of the existing technologies for the absolute quantification of transcripts of interest. Materials and methods The TOP1 and TDP2 mRNA transcripts were first captured specifically using magnetic nanoparticles that were functionalized with TOP1- and TDP2-specific probes, respectively. The captured mRNA was then directly detected and quantified using the gold aggregating gold (GAG) assay, without the need for amplification as in existing technologies used for the quantification of transcripts. Results A linear correlation exists between the GAG assay and the qPCR for the quantification of the TOP1 and TDP2 mRNA transcripts (101–104 copies). The detection limit of the GAG assay in mRNA quantification was up to 10 copies per reaction. Wild-type and TDP2-deficient cell lines confirmed the assay specificity and reproducibility in distinguishing between different transcripts. Conclusion The GAG assay can be utilized as an inexpensive, rapid, simple, and sensitive tool for the absolute quantification of RNA for different applications, instead of the laborious, expensive, and sophisticated real-time PCR.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 71 million people were living with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection worldwide in 2015. Each year, about 399,000 HCV-infected people succumb to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver failure. Therefore, screening of HCV infection with simple, rapid, but highly sensitive and specific methods can help to curb the global burden on HCV healthcare. Apart from the determination of viral load/viral clearance, the identification of specific HCV genotype is also critical for successful treatment of hepatitis C. This critical review focuses on the technologies used for the detection, discrimination, and genotyping of HCV in clinical samples. This article also focuses on advantages and disadvantages of the reported methods used for HCV detection, quantification, and genotyping.

Abstract
The serious threats of mercury (Hg2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions for the public health makes it important to achieve the detection methods of the ions with high affinity and specificity. Metal ions usually coexist in some environment and foodstuff or clinical samples. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a fast and simple method for simultaneous monitoring the amount of metal ions, especially when Hg2+ and Pb2+ coexist. DNAzyme-based biosensors and aptasensors have been highly regarded for this purpose as two main groups of the functional nucleic acid (FNA)-based biosensors. In this review, we summarize the recent achievements of functional nucleic acid-based biosensors for the simultaneous detection of Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions in two main optical and electrochemical groups. The tremendous interest in utilizing the various nanomaterials is also highlighted in the fabrication of the FNA-based biosensors. Finally, some results are presented based on the advantages and disadvantages of the studied FNA-based biosensors to compare their validation.
