Abstract
Metallic nanoclusters (MNCs) were developed rapidly in recent decades, owing to their unique electronic structures and excited state characteristics, leading to their wide applications. Luminescence as one of the most important functions for MNCs has also been used to realize biodetection, displays, and lighting, through either electrochemiluminescence (ECL) or electroluminescence (EL). Both emissive properties and electrochemical activities of MNCs were utilized to enhance ECL and EL through facilitating exciton formation and radiation, rendering the rapid emerging of the latter in the last ten years. Through ligand modification, radiative excited-state components were increased to realize state-of-the-art photo- and electroluminescence efficiencies up to ∼100% and ∼30%, as well as ultralow biodetection limits. Nonetheless, material selection space and processing technologies are still limited. Herein, we overview and discuss recent advances of MNCs-based ECL and EL, through both aspects of materials/systems and devices, which would enlighten continuous innovations in optoelectronic MNCs.

Abstract
A sensitive electrochemical assay for simultaneously detecting cadmium ion (Cd2+) and mercury ion (Hg2+) with the aptamer as recognition unit was established, in which methylene blue (MB) and target-triggered in-situ generated Ag nanoclusters (Ag NCs) were identified as signal reporters. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles composites were prepared with polyethyleneimine to amplify electrical signals of screen-printed electrodes. Due to the particular base sequences, MB labeled Cd2+ aptamer paired with ssDNA through T-Hg-T structure with Hg2+. Notably, the C-rich structure in ssDNA acted as a template for the generation of Ag NCs, which could induce differential pulse voltammetry signals corresponding to Hg2+ concentrations. This electrochemical aptasensor exhibited detection limits of 94.01 pg/mL and 15.74 pg/mL for Cd2+ and Hg2+, respectively. The developed aptasensor allowed for practical application to tea and vegetable samples with satisfactory accuracy. This work possesses potential in developing biosensing technologies for simultaneous determination of multiple heavy metals.

Abstract
Herein, a multifunctional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on exchange of Ag+ with CdTe QDs was developed for dual-mode detection of thrombin. First, CdTe QDs assembled on an electrode displayed superior ECL and PEC signals. At the same time, C-rich hairpin (HP) DNA linked to silicon spheres loaded a large amount of Ag+, and the specific binding of thrombin to an aptamer led to the release of DNA P; then, DNA P interacted with HP DNA to produce numerous Ag+ ions by an enzyme-digestion amplification reaction. Ag+ underwent ion exchange with CdTe QDs to generate AgTe/CdTe QDs, resulting in much reversed PEC and changed ECL signals for dual-mode detection of thrombin. This work takes advantage of outstanding multi-signals of QDs coupled with convenient ion exchange to achieve multi-mode detection of the target, avoiding false positive or false negative signals generated in the traditional detection process, and thus can be used for the rapid detection of various biomolecules in actual samples.

Ruthenium(II) complex-grafted conductive metal-organic frameworks with conductivity- and confinement-enhanced electrochemiluminescence for ultrasensitive biosensing application. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 227:115157. [PMID: 36841115 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
Improving the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance of luminophores is an ongoing research hotspot in the ECL realm. Herein, a high-performance metal-organic framework (MOF)-based ECL material (Ru@Ni3(HITP)2, HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) with conductivity- and confinement-enhanced ECL was successfully constructed by using conductive MOF Ni3(HITP)2 as the carrier to graft Ru(bpydc)34- (H2bpydc = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) into the channels of Ni3(HITP)2. Compared to Ru@Cu3(HITP)2 and Ru@Co3(HITP)2 with relatively low conductivity, the ECL intensity of Ru@Ni3(HITP)2 was prominently increased about 6.76 times and 18.8 times, respectively, which demonstrated that the increase in conductivity induced the ECL enhancement of the MOF-based ECL materials. What's more, the hydrophobic and porous Ni3(HITP)2 can not only effectively enrich the lipophilic tripropylamine (TPrA) coreactants in its channels to enhance the electrochemical oxidation efficiency of TPrA, but also provide a conductive reaction micro-environment to boost the ECL reaction between Ru(bpydc)33- intermediates and TPrA• in confined spaces, thus realizing a remarkable confinement-enhanced ECL. Considering the excellent ECL performance of Ru@Ni3(HITP)2, an ultrasensitive ECL biosensor was prepared based on the Ru@Ni3(HITP)2 ECL indicator combining an exonuclease I-aided target cycling amplification strategy for thrombin determination. The constructed ECL biosensor showcased a wide linear range from 1 fM to 1 nM with a low detection limit of 0.62 fM. Overall, the conductivity- and confinement-enhanced ECL based on Ru@Ni3(HITP)2 provided effective and feasible strategies to enhance ECL performance, which paved a promising avenue for exploring high-efficient MOF-based ECL materials and thus broadened the application scope of conductive MOFs.

Abstract
Detection of biomarkers is very vital in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, due to the poor accuracy and sensitivity of the constructed biosensors, we are now facing great challenges. In addressing these problems, nanohybrid-based dual mode biosensors including optical-optical, optical-electrochemical and electrochemical-electrochemical have been developed to detect various biomarkers. Integrating the merits of nanomaterials with abundant active sites, synergy and excellent physicochemical properties, many bi-functional nanohybrids have been reasonable designed and controllable preparation, which applied to the construction dual mode biosensors. Despite the significant progress, further efforts are still needed to develop dual mode biosensors and ensure their practical application by using portable digital devices. Therefore, the present review summarizes an in-depth evaluation of the bi-functional nanohybrids assisted dual mode biosensing platform of biomarkers. We are hoping this review could inspire further concepts in developing novel dual mode biosensors for possible detection application.

Abstract
In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor chip for sensitive detection of thrombin (TB) was prepared using a screen-printed electrode (SPE) as a working electrode and an aptamer as a specific recognition moiety. To produce an ECL sensor chip, a layer of pL-Cys was immobilized on the surface of SPE by the cyclic voltammetry scanning method, a layer of AuNPs was assembled through an Au-S bond and hairpin DNA was further immobilized on the electrode surface. Ru (bpy)2 (mcpbpy)2+ , as a luminescent reagent, was covalently bound to ssDNA to prepare a luminescent probe ssDNA-Ru. The probe hybridized with TB aptamer to form a capture probe. In the presence of TB, the TB aptamer in the capture probe bound to TB, causing the release of ssDNA-Ru that could bind to hairpin DNA on the electrode surface. Ru (II) complex as a luminescent reagent was assembled onto the electrode, and pL-Cys was used as a co-reactant to. enhance the ECL efficiency. The ECL signal of the sensor chip generated based on the above principles had a linear relationship with log TB concentration at a range of 10 fM-1 nM, and the detection limit was 0.2 fM. Finally, TB detection by this method was verified using real blood samples. This work provides a new method using an aptamer as a foundation and SPE as a material for the detection of biological substances.

Abstract
A self-cleaning electrochemical biosensor based on two-dimensional Cu-porphyrin (Cu-TCPP) metal-organic framework nanofilms, novel super G-quadruplex (G4), and DNA nanomotors was developed for the cyclic detection of Pb2+ ions. The Cu-TCPP framework with inherent peroxidase activity can create an ultra-thin nanofilm that functioned as a carrier to support the metastable G4 comprising four individual DNA strands. The introduction of Pb2+ and the intercalation of hemin can help it to form stable G4-hemin DNAzymes, which exhibits strong catalytic H2O2 reduction activity, and its number will be directly related to the amount of the introduced Pb2+. Moreover, a DNA nanomotor system is introduced to achieve cyclic detection, and the addition of the fuel DNA strands enables G4 to perform a "complete-dissociation-complete" process for achieving self-cleaning of the electrode interface and the cycle detection of Pb2+. The synergistic effects of Cu-TCPP and G4-hemin DNAzymes, which exhibits efficient and catalytic H2O2 reduction, enhance the performance of the electrochemical sensing system. The linear range of this sensor to Pb2+ is 5 nM-5 μM, and the detection limit is 1.7 nM. Compared with the best system in reported studies, its linear range is five times wider and its detection limit is lower than the previously lowest one. Taking advantage of the Pb2+ stabilized G4, the proposed sensor can selectively detect Pb2+ in the presence of other metal ions. The results presented herein comprise a valuable reference for constructing DNA nanoelectronic devices and establish sensitive and cyclic detection of the target and preparing of self-cleaning electrode interfaces.

Abstract
Accurate and effective detection of single-stranded nucleic acids is vital in both disease diagnosis and pathological studies. Hence, we develop a PAMmer-assisted CRISPR/Cas9 system mediated G4-EXPAR (Cas-G4EX) strategy for site-specific detection of ssRNA and ssDNA. PAMmer-assisted CRISPR/Cas9 executes the site-specific cleavage of target ssRNA or ssDNA and released product fragment with the desired sequence at the 3'-terminal. This fragment serves as a primer to activate subsequent sequence-dependent exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR). The G-rich EXPAR products assembles with hemin to form a G-Quadruplex (G4/hemin). G4/hemin catalyzes ABTS-H2O2 system with the appearance of vivid green color, realizing naked-eye analysis. Cas-G4EX integrates the superiority of CRISPR/Cas9 and EXPAR, presenting outstanding site-specific recognition and high-performance amplification efficiency. Meanwhile, the programmability of CRISPR/Cas9 system makes the proposed method become a universal detection paradigm for any ssRNA or ssDNA. Cas-G4EX assay shows the linear relationship from 250 aM to 2.5 nM for ssRNA detection with the actual LOD of 250 aM, and that ranges from 100 aM to 1 nM for ssDNA detection with the actual LOD of 100 aM. Additionally, the acceptable recoveries of 101.48%-109.61% for ssRNA and 93.25%-111.98% for ssDNA in real detection of human serum are obtained for detection of single-strand nucleic acid in real samples. Cas-G4EX also exhibits the excellent discrimination for single-base mutation of single-stranded nucleic acids. Therefore, Cas-G4EX assay provides a promising platform in the applications of molecular diagnosis and pathological analysis.

Abstract
Testing multiple biomarkers, as opposed to one, has become a preferred approach for diagnosing many heterogeneous diseases, such as cancer and infectious diseases. However, numerous technologies, including gold standard ELISA and PCR, can detect only one type of biomarker, either protein or nucleic acid (NA), respectively. In this work, we report for the first time simultaneous detection of proteins and NAs in the same solution, using solely functional NA (FNA) molecules. In particular, we combined the thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) and the 10-23 RNA-cleaving DNA enzyme (DNAzyme) in a single aptazyme molecule (Aptazyme1.15-3'), followed by extensive optimization of buffer composition, sequences and component ratios, to establish a competitive bioassay. Subsequently, to establish a multiplex bioassay, we designed a new aptazyme (Aptazyme2.20-5') by replacing the target recognition and substrate sequences within Aptazyme1.15-3'. This designing process included an in silico study, revealing the impact of the target recognition sequence on the aptazyme secondary structure and its catalytic activity. After proving the functionality of the new aptazyme in a singleplex bioassay, we demonstrated the capability of the two aptazymes to simultaneously detect thrombin and NA target, or two NA targets in a multiplex bioassay. High specificity in target detection was achieved with the limits of detection in the low nanomolar range, comparable to the singleplex bioassays. The presented results deepen the barely explored features of FNA for diagnosing multiple targets of different origins, adding an extra functionality to their catalogue.

Abstract
Electroluminescence (ECL) has been used in extensive applications ranging from bioanalysis to clinical diagnosis owing to its simple device requirement, low background, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range. Nucleic acid is a significant theme in ECL bioanalysis. The inherent versatile selective molecular recognition of nucleic acids and their programmable self-assembly make it desirable for the robust construction of nanostructures. Benefiting from their unique structures and physiochemical properties, ECL biosensing based on nucleic acids has experienced rapid growth. This review focuses on recent applications of nucleic acids in ECL sensing systems, particularly concerning the employment of nucleic acids as molecular recognition elements, signal amplification units, and sensing interface schemes. In the end, an outlook of nucleic acid-based ECL biosensing will be provided for future developments and directions. We envision that nucleic acids, which act as an essential component for both bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis, will provide a new thinking model and driving force for developing next-generation sensing systems.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs), including Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Ni and alloy NCs, have become more and more popular sensor probes with good solubility, biocompatibility, size-dependent luminescence and catalysis. The development of electrochemiluminescent (ECL) and chemiluminescent (CL) analytical methods based on various metal NCs have become research hotspots. To improve ECL and CL performances, many strategies are proposed, from metal core to ligand, from intermolecular electron transfer to intramolecular electron transfer. Combined with a variety of amplification technology, i.e., nanostructure-based enhancement and biological signal amplification, highly sensitive ECL and CL analytical methods are developed. We have summarized the research progresses since 2016. Also, we discuss the current challenges and perspectives on the development of this area.

Abstract
Thrombin is a marker of blood-related diseases, and its detection is of great significance in the fields of medical and biological research. Herein, a novel chemiluminescence (CL) sensor for thrombin detection was prepared based on dual-aptamer biorecognition and mesoporous silica encapsulated with iron porphyrin. Mesoporous silica encapsulated with hematin by aptamer1 (Apt1/hematin/M-SiO2) and magnetic microspheres modified with aptamer2 (Apt2/NH2-MS) were successfully prepared, and the two materials were used to construct a CL sensor to detect thrombin. Primarily, Apt2/NH2-MS is used for pretreatment separation of thrombin samples by the biorecognition effect between the aptamer (Apt2) and target (thrombin). Then, thrombin/Apt2/NH2-MS is again recognized with Apt1 on the surface of Apt1/hematin/M-SiO2 and Apt1/thrombin/Apt2/NH2-MS is formed, so dual-aptamer biorecognition is realized. Meanwhile, the generated Apt1/thrombin/Apt2/NH2-MS makes Apt1 shed off the surface of M-SiO2 and release hematin. The released hematin can catalyze the luminol-H2O2 CL reaction. Therefore, a sandwich-type CL sensor was constructed based on dual-aptamer biorecognition and hematin catalysis for the detection of thrombin. The sensor has a linear range of 7.5 × 10-15 to 2.5 × 10-10 mol·L-1 and a detection limit of 2.2 × 10-15 mol·L-1 and also exhibits excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The sensor was successfully used for the detection of thrombin in serum samples, which makes it possible to apply the sensor in the detection of thrombin in actual samples.

Abstract
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) have demonstrated pervasive applications in analytical chemistry recently. As a way of signal output in DNA-based detection methods, DNA-AgNCs have prominent advantages: first, the recognition and synthesizing sequences are naturally integrated in one DNA probe without any chemical modification or connection; second, the emissive wavelength of DNA-AgNCs can be adjusted in a wide range by employing different sequences; third, DNA-AgNCs can be utilized for producing not only fluorescence, also electrochemiluminescence and electrochemical signals. Besides, they also show potential applications for cell imaging, and are considered to be one of the most ideal nanomaterials for in-vivo imaging due to their ultra-small particle size. In this review, a brief and comprehensive introduction of DNA-AgNCs is firstly given, then label-free probes using DNA-AgNCs are classified and summarized, lastly concluding perspectives are provided on the defects and application potentials.

Abstract
A highly sensitive fluorometric method is described for the determination of microRNA-141. It is based on the use of arched probe-mediated isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) and of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs). The EXPAR utilizes microRNA-141 as the trigger, polymerases and endonucleases as amplification activators, and two arched probes as exponential amplification templates. This enables the conversion of microRNA to a large number of reporter sequences under isothermal conditions within minutes. The generated reporter sequences act as scaffolds for the synthesis of fluorescent DNA-AgNCs by reduction of Ag (I) with NaBH4. The DNA-AgNCs function as signalling fluorophores with excitation/emission maxima at 540/610 nm. The method exhibits high sensitivity for microRNA-141 with a detection limit as low as 0.87 fM and a dynamic range from 1 fM to 500 fM. The method can distinguish nucleotides in the microRNA-200 family.

Abstract
A high performance miRNA biosensor based on effective click chemistry assembly of a Ru(bpy)32+ labeled DNA probe and efficient electrochemiluminescence (ECL) quenching of the Ru(bpy)32+/BDEA (BDEA = N-butyldiethanolamine) system by surface-confined electroactive methylene blue (MB) dye is reported. When the target miRNA was present, the ECL signal instantly changed from "light off" to "light on" status. Using the specific miRNA let-7d as the target analyte, this biosensor provided sensitive detection over approximately six orders of magnitude (10 fM-10 nM), with a limit of detection of 10 fM (S/N = 3). Detailed study of the ECL quenching behavior of the Ru(bpy)32+/BDEA system by MB in solution suggested that the ECL quenching involves a combination of photoluminescence dynamic quenching and quenching processes directly associated with the redox reactions, as well as resonance energy transfer. A large binding constant of 4.7 × 1011 M-1 between let-7d and the DNA hairpin was estimated using an ECL-based extended Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting remarkably strong binding of the target to the probe. Furthermore, our biosensor exhibited excellent specificity and reproducibility. Using the developed system, the concentration of the target miRNA extracted from the A549 cell line could be obtained, demonstrating the potential application of the developed biosensor to practical biological sample analysis.

Abstract
Herein, a signal-on electrochemical aptasensor for highly sensitive detection of thrombin (TB) was constructed based on the DNAzyme-driven DNA walker strategy. We developed a new dual functional hairpin DNA (HP) containing a substrate sequence of the Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme (in the loop region) and the G-quadruplex forming segment (in the stem region). The DNA walker (TBA2-DWs), containing a TB aptamer and an enzymatic sequence, was introduced onto gold electrode (GE) by aptamers-target specific recognition, and thus initiated the enzymatic sequences to hybridize with the substrate sequence. Then, the DNA walker could repeatedly bind and cleave HP in the assistance of Mg2+, unlocking many active G-quadruplex forming sequences. Finally, hemin can further bind the G-quadruplex to form G-quadruplex/hemin complexes and generate enhanced current output. The aptasensor for TB assay showed a linear detection range from 1 pM to 60000 pM with a lower detection limit of 0.58 pM. And more, the proposed detection strategy was enzyme-free and label-free.

Abstract
Surface plasmon-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (SPEECL) with excellent sensitivity and simplicity has attracted increasing attention. In this work, we reported a novel SPEECL with DNA templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) as ECL emitters and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) source. The SPEECL with DNA-AgNCs as ECL luminophores possessed low toxicity and avoided the labeling process, which is favorable for its further sensing application. In addition, by investigation of the SPEECL under different distances between DNA-AgNCs and AuNPs, it was demonstrated that the SPEECL was distance dependent. Meanwhile, the SPEECL intensity changed with the sizes and interdistance of AuNPs under different electrodeposition time. Furthermore, by the combination of a cyclic amplification process with enzyme-free catalytic hairpin DNA, a sensitive SPEECL biosensor was proposed for the detection of microRNA (miRNA-21) successfully with a wide linear range from 1 aM to 104 fM and a relatively low detection limit of 0.96 aM, which was applied in the detection of miRNA-21 in real samples with satisfying results. This novel, simple, sensitive, and selective SPEECL with label-free and low-toxic ECL emitters displayed a great potential for bioassay application.

Abstract
In this mini review, we will briefly introduce the rapid development of DNA conformational polymorphism in biosensing field, including canonical DNA duplex, triplex, quadruplex, DNA origami, as well as more functionalized DNAs (aptamer, DNAzyme etc.). Various DNA structures are adopted to play important roles in sensor construction, through working as recognition receptor, signal reporter or linking staple for signal motifs, etc. We will mainly summarize their recent developments in DNA-based electrochemical and fluorescent sensors. For the electrochemical sensors, several types will be included, e.g. the amperometric, electrochemical impedance, electrochemiluminescence, as well as field-effect transistor sensors. For the fluorescent sensors, DNA is usually modified with fluorescent molecules or novel nanomaterials as report probes, excepting its core recognition function. Finally, general conclusion and future perspectives will be discussed for further developments.

Abstract
An aptamer based impedimetric method is described for the determination of kanamycin. A hydrothermal route was applied to synthesize molybdenum selenide nanoflowers (MoSe2) which are promising materials for use in sensing interfaces due to their high specific surface and excellent electrical conductivity. Carbon nanotubes were then decorated with the MoSe2 nanoflowers and gold nanoparticles (AuNP/CNT/MoSe2) and placed on a glassy carbon electrode to serve as a signal amplifier. An amino-terminal kanamycin-specific aptamer was covalently linked to carboxy groups of acid-oxidized CNTs on the electrode to act as the signalling probe. The various steps during the construction of the modified electrode were monitored by scanning electron microscopy, wavelength-dispersive and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The change in electrochemical signal was quantified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, typically at a working voltage of 0.22 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The calibration plot is linear in the 1 pM-0.1 nM and 100 nM-10 μM kanamycin concentration range and has a 0.28 pM detection limit. The assay is outstandingly selective, sensitive, stable and reproducible. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Current research effort aims at developing and designing new sensing platform architectures for effectively assaying biological targets that are significantly important for human healthcare and medical diagnosis. Here, we proposed a novel nanostructured sensor based on the combination of fluorinated graphene oxide and iron-based metal-organic gel (FGO@Fe-MOG). The unique properties including hierarchical porosity along with excellent electron transfer behavior make it an ideal candidate for electrochemical sensing of thrombin with superior detection limits compared to other (electrochemical, fluorescence, and colorimetric) strategies. Specifically, thrombin-binding aptamer was immobilized onto FGO@Fe-MOG through strong electrostatic interaction without any special modification or labeling, and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used as the analyzing tool. The introduced aptasensor revealed high selectivity and reproducibility toward thrombin with the detection limit of 58 pM. The effectiveness, reliability, and real applicability of the proposed FGO@Fe-MOG nanohybrid were also confirmed by the determination of thrombin in a complex biological matrix represented by human serum. Taking into account the superior detection limit, high selectivity, reproducibility, and precision, the developed scalable and label-free aptasensor meets the essential requirements for clinical diagnosis of thrombin.

A kind of coenzyme A (CoA)-silver coordination complex (CoA-Ag) was in-situ developed and verified to accelerate the electron transferring and electrochemical catalysis of H2O2 decomposition to enhance the cathode ECL intensity of CdTe@CdS QDs. Afterward, a convenient label-free signal-on ECL approach was constructed for CoA detection with excellent specificity. In addition, the unique ECL enhancing phenomenon was also proposed to assay the enzymatic activity of histone acetyltransferases (HAT) and screen relevant inhibitors, exhibiting a promising potential in the practical application of biochemical research, disease diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
In this study, a novel strategy for amplified electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of DNA was proposed based on excellent ECL activity of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) coupled with multiple cycling amplification technique. A new type of graphene QDs with well ECL property and uniform size were firstly synthesized, then the graphene QDs were assembled on the electrode by poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites, which could greatly improve ECL signal and stability of QDs. A novel signal-on ECL biosensor for DNA analysis was designed by using ECL quenching of gold nanoparticles (NPs) to graphene QDs combined with endonuclease-aided cyclic amplification strategy. As a result, the proposed strategy can be conveniently expanded to other biosensing application, especially in clinical diagnoses.

Abstract
Electroactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with large surface area and manipulatable structural properties show promise as a new type of signal probe for electrochemical biosensing application. In this work, an electroactive Ni-MOF, assembled by the redox-active ligands 4,4',4″-Tricarboxytriphenylamine (H3TCA), a triphenylamine derivatives, as the electroactive source and magnetic ordered Ni4O4 clusters as electronic transport nodes, is first designed and applied for electrochemical aptasensing of thrombin (Tb). The designed Ni-MOF probe realizes a stable and sensitive electrochemical signal output based on simple sandwich-type aptasensing because the high-content TCA active sites and good magnetic ordered intermediate of Ni4O4 clusters are periodically arranged in well-defined porous structure of the MOF. The Ni-MOF probe assembled by redox-active ligand presents the high stability and can be directly applied in electrochemical aptasensor, avoiding any post-modification and the addition of redox mediators. As a result, the constructed electrochemical aptasensor shows a wide linear relationship for Tb from 0.05 pM to 50 nM and a detection limit of 0.016 pM (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the proposed aptasensor is successfully applied to analysis of target Tb in real serum sample with satisfactory results. The present work indicates that fabricating a redox-active organic molecule in functionalized MOFs offer a feasible strategy to design high-stable electroactive MOFs for construction of electrochemical biosensors with simplicity, high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the most reason for deaths in all over the world. Hence, biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases are very crucial for diagnosis and management process. Biomarker detection demand is opened the important way in biosensor development field. Rapid, cheap, portable, precise, selective and sensitive biomarker sensing devices are needed at this point to detect and predict disease. A cardiac biomarker can be orderable as C-reactive protein, troponin I or T, myoglobin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-1, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase, low-density lipoprotein and myeloperoxidase. They are used for prediction of cardiovascular diseases. There are many methods for early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, but these have long time process and expensive devices. In recent studies, different biosensors have been developed to remove the problems in this field. Electrochemical devices and developed biosensors have many superiorities than others such as low cost, mobile, reliable, repeatable, need a little amount of solution. In this review, recent studies were presented as details for cardiovascular disease biomarkers detection using electrochemical methods.
