Abstract
Pathogens and contaminants in food and the environment present significant challenges to human health, necessitating highly sensitive and specific diagnostic methods. Traditional approaches often struggle to meet these requirements. However, the emergence of the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) system has revolutionized nucleic acid diagnostics. The present review provides a comprehensive overview of the biological sensing technology based on the CRISPR/Cas system and its potential applications in public health-related analysis. Additionally, it explores the enzymatic cleavage capabilities mediated by Cas proteins, highlighting the promising prospects of CRISPR technology in addressing bioanalysis challenges. We discuss commonly used CRISPR-Cas proteins and elaborate on their application in detecting foodborne bacteria, viruses, toxins, other chemical pollution, and drug-resistant bacteria. Furthermore, we highlight the advantages of CRISPR-based sensors in the field of public health-related analysis and propose that integrating CRISPR-Cas biosensing technology with other technologies could facilitate the development of more diverse detection platforms, thereby indicating promising prospects in this field.

Abstract
A label-free immunosensor based on an N-doped laser direct graphene (N-LIG)/Au electrode was proposed for H1N1 influenza virus detection. By utilizing the instantaneous high temperature of laser irradiation, N atoms are generated by the decomposition of melamine dripped onto the surface of an LIG electrode to obtain N-LIG with higher conductivity. The doping of N atoms provides a large number of active sites for LIG microelectrodes. Combined with the electrodeposition of Au NPs, and covalently crosslinking antibodies, a simple, highly sensitive and stable immunosensing interface is constructed. The proposed H1N1 influenza virus immunosensor has a detection range of 0.01 fg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 with a detection limit as low as 0.004 fg mL-1. The constructed sensor has ultra-high sensitivity and good selectivity and can be used for complex biological sample analysis, with potential application prospects in preventing the large-scale spread of influenza. Taking advantage of N-LIG electrode's properties will provide opportunities for developing portable electrochemical biosensors for health and environmental applications.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of global cancer-related deaths, highlighting the development of innovative methods for biomarker detection improving the early diagnostics. microRNAs (miRs) alterations are known to be involved in the initiation and progression of human cancers and can act as biomarkers for diagnostics and treatment. Herein, we develop the application of molecular beacon (MB) technology to monitor miR-155-3p expression in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells without complementary DNA synthesis, amplification, or expensive reagents. Furthermore, we produced gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for delivering antisense oligonucleotides into A549 cells to reduce miR-155-3p expression, which was subsequently detectable using the MB. The MB was designed and structural characterized by Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-melting, Circular Dichroism (CD), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and fluorometric experiments, and then the hybridization conditions were optimized for an in vitro approach involving the detection of miR-155-3p in total RNA extracted from A549 cell line. The expression profile of miR-155-3p was obtained by RT-qPCR. The results demonstrated that MB was properly designed and showed efficacy in targeting miR-155-3p. Furthermore, a limit of detection down to nanomolar concentration was achieved and the specificity of the biosensor was proved. Moreover, the self-assembly of ASOs with AuNPs exhibited exceptional target specificity, effectively silencing miR-155-3p. Notably, compared to lipid-based transfection agent, AuNPs displayed superior silencing efficiency. We highlighted the ability of MB to detect changes in the target gene expression after gene silencing. Overall, this innovative approach represents a promising tool for detecting various biomarkers at the same time, with potential applications in clinical settings.

An electrochemiluminescence sensor based on lanthanide bimetallic MOFs with a "cascade sensitization mechanism" for the sensitive detection of CA242. Talanta 2024; 273:125956. [PMID: 38518718 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024]
Abstract
Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) broaden the optical sensing applications of lanthanide ions due to the antenna effect between organic ligands and metals. However, the sensitization ability of the ligand to metal ions is limited, and maximizing the sensitization of the electrochemiluminescence behavior of Eu3+ is still a challenge for the application of Ln-MOFs. Therefore, under the guidance of the "cascade sensitization mechanism" based on the antenna effect sensitizing the electrochemiluminescence of bimetallic Ln-MOFs, we proposed Eu/Tb-MOFs with high luminescence intensity as a signal probe. According to the antenna effect, the conjugated structure and high extinction coefficient of the benzene ring of 2-amino terephthalic acid (NH2-BDC) can enhance the ECL luminescence intensity of Eu/Tb-MOFs. Tb3+ can act as an energy bridge between NH2-BDC and Eu3+, buffering the energy gap. The bimetallic sensitization is formed between Tb3+ and Eu3+, which can inhibit the reverse internal flow of energy and ensure the high luminous efficiency of Eu3+. In addition, the nanosphere mixed valence Fe3O4 as a co-reactant accelerator promotes the formation of transient free radical SO4•- through the valence change of Fe2+/Fe3+. The ECL immunosensor constructed by luminophores Eu/Tb-MOFs and nanosphere Fe3O4 provided a new explanation for the ECL self-luminous of Eu/Tb-MOFs.

Abstract
Aiming for sustainable crop productivity under changing climate conditions, it is essential to develop handy models for in-situ monitoring of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, this work reports a simple electrochemical sensing toward hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for tracking crop growth status sensitized with electron-migration nanostructure. To be specific, Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high HOMO energy level are designed for H2O2 reduction on account of Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox switchability. Importantly, the sensing performance is improved by electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (GO) with ready to use feature. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional liquid electrolytes, conductive hydrogel as semi-solid electrolyte exhibits the adhesive property to the cut plant petiole surface. Benefitting from the preferred composite models and conductive hydrogel, the electrochemical sensing toward H2O2 with high sensitivity and good anti-interference against the coexistent molecules, well qualified for acquiring plant growth status.

Evaluation of the difference in adsorption of amphetamine-type drugs on deep eutectic solvent-functionalized graphene oxide/ZIF-67 composite: Experiment and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Herein, the capture and separation properties of the deep eutectic solvent-functionalized magnetic graphene oxide/ZIF-67 composite (ZMG-DES) towards amphetamine-type drugs (MDMA, MAM and AM) from water were investigated. Kinetic and isotherm models showed that the adsorption behaviors were monolayer chemisorption. Batch experiment results showed that the maximal adsorption of MDMA (933.652 μg⋅g-1) was 2.3 and 2.8 times higher than that of MAM (412.849 μg⋅g-1) and AM (328.652 μg⋅g-1), respectively, and this superiority remained consistent under varied environmental influences (pH, background ion and humic acid). Theoretical calculations and characterization analyses demonstrated the methylenedioxy group of MDMA led to the highly selective adsorption. Electrostatic potential (ESP) distribution indicated that the methylenedioxy added electron-rich areas and provided more adsorption sites. The Independent Gradient Model (IGMH) quantified the adsorption contribution of the functional groups in each system, which the contribution of the methylenedioxy reached 25.23%, significantly exceeding that of -NH- (18.80%) and benzene ring (20.76%), and proved that the H-bonds formed methylenedioxy enhanced adsorption. Furthermore, the Hirshfeld surface analysis proved that the methylenedioxy and -NH- of MDMA acted as H-bond acceptor and donor, respectively, which synergistically promoted the adsorption. The present study will help us to understand the structure-property relationship between amphetamine-type drugs and ZMG-DES.

Abstract
Hydrodynamic dimension (HD) is the primary indicator of the size of bioconjugated particles and biomolecules. It is an important parameter in the study of solid-liquid two-phase dynamics. HD dynamic monitoring is crucial for precise and customized medical research as it enables the investigation of the continuous changes in the physicochemical characteristics of biomolecules in response to external stimuli. However, current HD measurements based on Brownian motion, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), are inadequate for meeting the polydisperse sample demands of dynamic monitoring. In this paper, we propose MMQCM method samples of various types and HD dynamic monitoring. An alternating magnetic field of frequency ωm excites biomolecule-magnetic bead particles (bioMBs) to generate magnetization motion, and the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) senses this motion to provide HD dynamic monitoring. Specifically, the magnetization motion is modulated onto the thickness-shear oscillation of the QCM at the frequency ωq. By analysis of the frequency spectrum of the QCM output signal, the ratio of the magnitudes of the real and imaginary parts of the components at frequency ωq ± 2ωm is extracted to characterize the particle size. Using the MMQCM approach, we successfully evaluated the size of bioMBs with different biomolecule concentrations. The 30 min HD dynamic monitoring was implemented. An increase of ∼10 nm in size was observed upon biomolecular structural stretching. Subsequently, the size of bioMBs gradually reduced due to the continuous dissociation of biomolecules, with a total reduction of 20∼40 nm. This HD dynamic monitoring demonstrates that the release of biomolecules can be regulated by controlling the duration of magnetic stimulation, providing valuable insights and guidance for controlled drug release in personalized precision medicine.

Abstract
Microfluidic systems have attracted considerable attention due to their low reagent consumption, short analysis time, and ease of integration in comparison to conventional methods, but still suffer from shortcomings in sensitivity and selectivity. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers several advantages in the detection of compounds, including label-free detection at the single-molecule level, and the narrow Raman peak width for multiplexing. Combining microfluidics with SERS is a viable way to improve their detection sensitivity. Researchers have recently developed several SERS coupled microfluidic platforms with substantial potential for biomolecular detection, cellular and bacterial analysis, and hazardous substance detection. We review the current development of SERS coupled microfluidic platforms, illustrate their detection principles and construction, and summarize the latest applications in biology, environmental protection and food safety. In addition, we innovatively summarize the current status of SERS coupled multi-mode microfluidic platforms with other detection technologies. Finally, we discuss the challenges and countermeasures during the development of SERS coupled microfluidic platforms, as well as predict the future development trend of SERS coupled microfluidic platforms.

Abstract
Cancer has been classified as a diverse illness with a wide range of subgroups. Its early identification and prognosis, which have become a requirement of cancer research, are essential for clinical treatment. Patients have already benefited greatly from the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) algorithms in the field of healthcare. AI simulates and combines data, pre-programmed rules, and knowledge to produce predictions. Data are used to improve efficiency across several pursuits and tasks through the art of ML. DL is a larger family of ML methods based on representational learning and simulated neural networks. Support vector machines, convulsion neural networks, and artificial neural networks, among others, have been widely used in cancer research to construct prediction models that enable precise and effective decision-making. Although using these innovative methods can enhance our comprehension of how cancer progresses, further validation is required before these techniques can be used in routine clinical practice. We cover contemporary methods used in the modelling of cancer development in this article. The presented prediction models are built using a variety of guided ML approaches, as well as numerous input attributes and data collections. Early identification and cost-effective detection of cancer's progression are equally necessary for successful treatment of the disease. Smart material-based detection techniques can give end consumers a portable, affordable instrument to easily detect and monitor their health issues without the need for specialized knowledge. Owing to their cost-effectiveness, excellent sensitivity, multimodal detection capacity, and miniaturization aptitude, two-dimensional (2D) materials have a lot of prospects for clinical examination of various compounds as well as cancer biomarkers. The effectiveness of traditional devices is moving faster towards more useful techniques thanks to developments in 2D material-based biosensors/sensors. The most current developments in the design of 2D material-based biosensors/sensors-the next wave of cancer screening instruments-are also outlined in this article.

Abstract
Nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity have been extensively studied for colorimetric biosensing. However, their catalytic activity and specificity still lag far behind those of natural enzymes, which significantly affects the accuracy and sensitivity of colorimetric biosensing. To address this issue, we design PdSn nanozymes with selectively enhanced peroxidase-like activity, which improves the sensitivity and accuracy of a colorimetric immunoassay. The peroxidase-like activity of PdSn nanozymes is significantly higher than that of Pd nanozymes. Theoretical calculations reveal that the p-d orbital hybridization of Pd and Sn not only results in an upward shift of the d-band center to enhance hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) adsorption but also regulates the O-O bonding strength of H2O2 to achieve selective H2O2 activation. Ultimately, the nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been successfully developed to sensitively and accurately detect the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), achieving a low detection limit of 1.696 pg mL-1. This work demonstrates a promising approach for detecting PSA in a clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Specific and rapid detection of live Staphylococcus aureus (S.A) in environmental and food samples is critically important for protecting human health. In order to fulfill this purpose, two kinds of novel egg yolk antibody (IgY) immobilized immunomagnetic beads (IMBs; mSiO2-IgY and mMOF-IgY), with core-shell mSiO2 and mMOF as substrate, were prepared for selectively enriching S.A from samples. Furthermore, the IMBs with captured S.A were collected and re-dissolved in 0.5 mL PBS. After that, a cotton swab coated with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) was put in the solution to lyse S.A cells and emit ATP bioluminescence of the luciferin/luciferase system. Finally, a portable bioluminescence detector was used for quantification of ATP corresponding to S.A concentration. The results demonstrated that mMOF-IgY can enrich more S.A than mSiO2-IgY and emit a stronger signal. The reasons may be due to the higher immobilization amount of IgY on the IMBs. Under optimal conditions, the calibration line of S.A concentration was 10-105 CFU mL-1 by mMOF-IgY within 30 min. The low detection limit of S.A was 3 CFU mL-1. The results demonstrated that the assay takes much shorter time than plate counting. Its portability and excellent detection capability are suitable for rapid monitoring of specific pathogens in foods.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential in biological applications, such as cell and biomolecular sorting, as well as early detection of metastatic cancer. Among these materials, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) stand out for their easy functionalization, high specific surface area, chemical stability, and superparamagnetic properties. However, conventional fabrication methods can lead to inconsistencies in MNPs' characteristics and performance, highlighting the need for a cost-effective, controllable, and reproducible synthesis approach. In this review, we will discuss the utilization of microfluidic technology as a cutting-edge strategy for the continuous and regulated synthesis of MNPs. This approach has proven effective in producing MNPs with a superior biomedical performance by offering precise control over particle size, shape, and surface properties. We will examine the latest research findings on developing and integrating MNPs synthesized through continuous microfluidic processes for a wide range of biological applications. By providing an overview of the current state of the field, this review aims to showcase the advantages of microfluidics in the fabrication and integration of MNPs, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize diagnostic and therapeutic methods within the realm of biotechnology.

Abstract
Small-molecule analyte detection is key for improving quality of life, particularly in health monitoring through the early detection of diseases. However, detecting specific markers in complex multicomponent media using devices compatible with point-of-care (PoC) technologies is still a major challenge. Here, we introduce a novel approach that combines molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) based on 2D materials, and machine learning (ML) to detect hippuric acid (HA) in artificial urine, being a critical marker for toluene intoxication, parasitic infections, and kidney and bowel inflammation. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used as the sensory material and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as supramolecular receptors. Employing supervised ML techniques based on symbolic regression and compressive sensing enabled us to comprehensively analyze the EGT transfer curves, eliminating the need for arbitrary signal selection and allowing a multivariate analysis during HA detection. The resulting device displayed simultaneously low operating voltages (<0.5 V), rapid response times (≤10 s), operation across a wide range of HA concentrations (from 0.05 to 200 nmol L-1), and a low limit of detection (LoD) of 39 pmol L-1. Thanks to the ML multivariate analysis, we achieved a 2.5-fold increase in the device sensitivity (1.007 μA/nmol L-1) with respect to the human data analysis (0.388 μA/nmol L-1). Our method represents a major advance in PoC technologies, by enabling the accurate determination of small-molecule markers in complex media via the combination of ML analysis, supramolecular analyte recognition, and electrolytic transistors.

Abstract
Sensitive biomarker detection techniques are beneficial for both disease diagnosis and postoperative examinations. In this study, we report an integrated microfluidic chip designed for the immunodetection of prostate-specific antigens (PSAs). The microfluidic chip is based on the three-dimensional structure of quartz capillaries. The outlet channel extends to 1.8 cm, effectively facilitating the generation of uniform droplets ranging in size from 3 to 50 μm. Furthermore, we successfully immobilized the captured antibodies onto the surface of magnetic beads using an activator, and we constructed an immunosandwich complex by employing biotinylated antibodies. A key feature of this microfluidic chip is its integration of microfluidic droplet technology advantages, such as high-throughput parallelism, enzymatic signal amplification, and small droplet size. This integration results in an exceptionally sensitive PSA detection capability, with the detection limit reduced to 7.00 ± 0.62 pg/mL.

Abstract
The most important reason for death from ovarian cancer is the late diagnosis of this disease. The standard treatment of ovarian cancer includes surgery and chemotherapy based on platinum, which is associated with side effects for the body. Due to the nonspecific nature of clinical symptoms, developing a platform for early detection of this disease is needed. In recent decades, the advancements of microfluidic devices and systems have provided several advantages for diagnosing ovarian cancer. Designing and manufacturing new platforms using specialized technologies can be a big step toward improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this group of diseases. Organ-on-a-chip microfluidic devices are increasingly used as a promising platform in cancer research, with a focus on specific biological aspects of the disease. This review focusing on ovarian cancer and microfluidic application technologies in its diagnosis. Additionally, it discusses microfluidic platforms and their potential future perspectives in advancing ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The empty-space-induced depletion region in photoelectrodes severely exacerbates the recombination of electron-hole pairs, thereby reducing the photoelectrochemical (PEC) analytical performance. Herein, the chemical bond that can suppress the potential barrier and overcome the high energy barrier of out-of-plane Ohmic or Schottky contact is introduced into the PEC sensor to eliminate the depletion region and dramatically promote the separation of electron-hole pairs. Specifically, three-dimensional (3D) hierarchically wheatear-like TiO2 (HWT) nanostructures featuring a large surface area to absorb incident light are crafted as the substrate. The facile carbonized strategy is further employed to engineer the Ti-C chemical bond, serving as the touchstone. The average PL lifetime of HWT-C (4.14 ns) is much shorter than that of the 3D HWT (8.57 ns) due to the promoting effect of the chemically bonded structure on carrier separation. Consequently, the 3D HWT-C covalent photoelectrode (600 μA/cm2) exhibits a 3.6-fold increase in photocurrent density compared with the 3D HWT (167 μA/cm2). Ultimately, the model analyte of the tumor marker is detected, and the linear range is 0.02 ng/mL-100 ng/mL with a detection limitation of 0.007 ng/mL. This work provides a basic understanding of chemical bonds in tuning charge separation and insights on strategies for designing high-performance PEC sensors.

Abstract
The work attempts to construct a highly effective γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4/Ag visible active photocatalyst for the enhanced degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Cr(VI) reduction. γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4/Ag photocatalyst was prepared by simple solid phase and co-precipitation methods. The nanosphere shaped CoFe2O4 photocatalyst are embedded on top of γ-Bi2O3 nanotriangle. The addition of Ag into γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4 heterojunction primitively facilitates the photocatalytic activity in higher rate. The quantitative analysis of photocatalyst possesses to have lower e-/h+ recombination rate compared to its counterparts. The prepared γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4/Ag photocatalyst showed 96.6% degradation of CIP in 220 min and 99.2% reduction of Cr(VI) in 120 min. Additionally, γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4/Ag showed outstanding recyclability and long-term stability with a degradation efficiency of 96.5% even after six cycles. The intermediate products formed were identified and the degradation pathway was elucidated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Total organic carbon measurement was carried over to assess the efficiency of complete degradation and the removal percentage was found to be 98%. The end product toxicity study towards bacteria was proven to have less toxicity level when compared to parent compound. Lastly, the genotoxicity of γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4/Ag photocatalyst was tested in Allium cepa and the results confirmed to have no cause of toxicity impacts. Overall, the work not only tends to provide a highly visible active γ-Bi2O3/CoFe2O4/Ag photocatalyst, but also attributes to have no further negative imprints in the environment.

Abstract
A thin-layer flow cell of low internal volume (12 μL) is incorporated in a flow injection analysis (FIA) system for simultaneous and real-time photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike 1 (S1) and anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) antibodies. Covalent linkage of S1 and N proteins to two separate polyethylene glycol (PEG)-covered gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/TiO2 nanotube array (NTA) electrodes affords 10 consecutive analyses with surface regenerations in between. An indium tin oxide (ITO) allows visible light to impinge onto the two electrodes. The detection limits for anti-S1 and anti-N antibodies were estimated to be 177 and 97 ng mL-1, respectively. Such values compare well with those achieved with other reported methods and satisfy the requirement for screening convalescent patients with low antibody levels. Additionally, our method exhibits excellent intra-batch (RSD = 1.3%), inter-batch (RSD = 3.4%), intra-day (RSD = 1.0%), and inter-day (RSD = 1.6%) reproducibility. The obviation of an enzyme label and continuous analysis markedly decreased the assay cost and duration, rendering this method cost-effective. The excellent anti-fouling property of PEG enables accuracy validation by comparing our PEC immunoassays of patient sera to those of ELISA. In addition, the simultaneous detection of two antibodies holds great potential in disease diagnosis and immunity studies.

Abstract
The abuse of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics causes the accumulation of their residue in the environment, which has an irreversible impact on food safety and human health. In light of this, it is vital to offer a portable, quick, efficient, and selective sensing platform to detect TC instantly. Herein, we have successfully developed a sensor using silk fibroin-decorated thiol-branched graphene oxide quantum dots through a well-known thiol-ene click reaction. It is applied to ratiometric fluorescence sensing of TC in real samples in the linear range of 0-90 nM, with the detection limit of 49.69, 47.76, 55.25, 47.90, and 45.78 nM for deionized water, chicken sample, fish sample, human blood serum, and honey sample, respectively. With the gradual addition of TC to the liquid media, the sensor develops a synergetic luminous effect in which the fluorescence intensity of the nanoprobe steadily declines at 413 nm, while the intensity of a newly emerging peak increases at 528 nm, maintaining a ratio that is dependent on the analyte concentration. The increase of luminescence properties in the liquid media is clearly visible by naked eyes in the presence of 365 nm UV light. The result helps us in building a filter paper strip-based portable smart sensor using an electric circuit comprising a 365 nm LED (light-emitting diode) powered by a mobile phone battery which is attached just below the rear camera of a smartphone. The camera of the smartphone captures the color changes that occur throughout the sensing process and translates into readable RGB data. The dependency of color intensity with respect to the concentration of TC was evaluated by deducing a calibration curve from where the limit of detection was calculated and found to be 0.125 μM. These kinds of gadgets are important for the possible real-time, on-the-spot, quick detection of analytes in situations where high-end approaches are not easily accessible.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurological condition, is associated with various internal and external risk factors in the disease's early stages. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is essential for treatment management. Circulating exosomal microRNAs could be a new class of valuable biomarkers for early Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Different kinds of biosensors have been introduced in recent years for the detection of these valuable biomarkers. Isolation of the exosomes is a crucial step in the detection process which is traditionally carried out by multi-step ultrafiltration. Microfluidics has improved the efficiency and costs of exosome isolation by implementing various effects and forces on the nano and microparticles in the microchannels. This paper reviews recent advancements in detecting Alzheimer's disease related exosomal microRNAs based on methods such as electrochemical, fluorescent, and SPR. The presented devices' pros and cons and their efficiencies compared with the gold standard methods are reported. Moreover, the application of microfluidic devices to detect Alzheimer's disease related biomarkers is summarized and presented. Finally, some challenges with the performance of novel technologies for isolating and detecting exosomal microRNAs are addressed.

Abstract
Optofluidic sensors have accelerated the growth of smart sensor platforms with improved sensitivity, reliability, and innovation. In this article, we report the integration of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) material consisting of silver nanoparticle-decorated diatomaceous earth (AgNPs-DE) with a flow-through microfluidic device, building up a hierarchical structured micro-total analysis system (μ-TAS) capable of achieving part-per-quadrillion (ppq)-level sensitivity. By the synergic integration of millimeter-scale microfluidic devices and porous laboratory filter paper with a micrometer-sized crosslinked cellulosic network that carries SERS-active AgNPs-DE, which possesses submicron to nanometer regimes of photonic crystals and plasmonic nanostructures, we achieved enhanced mass-transfer efficiency and unprecedented detection sensitivity. In our experiment, fentanyl as the testing analyte at different concentrations was measured using a portable Raman spectrometer. The limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 10 ppq from a small detection volume of 10 mL with an ultrafast time of sensing (TOS) of 3 min. To attain comparable signals, the traditional soaking method took more than 90 min to detect 10 part-per-trillion fentanyl from a 10 mL sample. Compared with existing SERS sensing results of fentanyl, the limit-defying μ-TAS reduced the LOD-TOS product by almost 4 orders of magnitude, which represents a new stage of ultrafast sensing of extremely low concentration analytes.

Abstract
Since there is no effective Alzheimer's disease (AD)-modifying therapy available currently, early analysis of AD core biomarkers has become one of great significance and common concern in clinical diagnosis. Herein, we designed an Au-plasmonic shell attached polystyrene (PS) microsphere in a microfluidic chip for simultaneous detection of Aβ1-42 and p-Tau181 protein. The corresponding Raman reporters were identified in femto gram level by ultrasensitive surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Both of Raman experimental data and finite-difference time-domain modeling demonstrates the synergetic coupling between PS microcavity with the optical confinement property and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of AuNPs, so leading to highly amplified electromagnetic fields at the 'hot spot'. Moreover, the microfluidic system is designed with multiplex testing and control channels in which the AD-related dual proteins were detected quantitatively with a lower limit of 100 fg mL-1. Thus, the proposed microcavity-based SERS strategy initiates a new way for accurately prediction of AD in human blood samples and provides the potential application for synchronous determination of multiple analytes in general disease assays.

Abstract
Continuous monitoring of pathogens finds applications in environmental, medical, and food industry settings. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is one of the promising methods for real-time detection of bacteria and viruses. QCM is a technology that utilizes piezoelectric principles to measure mass and is commonly used in detecting the mass of chemicals adhering to a surface. Due to its high sensitivity and rapid detection times, QCM biosensors have attracted considerable attention as a potential method for detecting infections early and tracking the course of diseases, making it a promising tool for global public health professionals in the fight against infectious diseases. This review first provides an overview of the QCM biosensing method, including its principle of operation, various recognition elements used in biosensor creation, and its limitations and then summarizes notable examples of QCM biosensors for pathogens, focusing on microfluidic magnetic separation techniques as a promising tool in the pretreatment of samples. The review explores the use of QCM sensors in detecting pathogens in various samples, such as food, wastewater, and biological samples. The review also discusses the use of magnetic nanoparticles for sample preparation in QCM biosensors and their integration into microfluidic devices for automated detection of pathogens and highlights the importance of accurate and sensitive detection methods for early diagnosis of infections and the need for point-of-care approaches to simplify and reduce the cost of operation.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and its early diagnosis can effectively reduce mortality. A new label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor on the basis of Bi2WO6/BiOBr nanocomposite materials has been successfully prepared for the test of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in human serum in this work. The Ag2S-sensitized Bi2WO6/BiOBr heterojunction was used as a photosensitive material, which effectively improved the photocurrent response. On Bi2WO6/BiOBr surface, dopamine immobilized PSA antibody by self-polymerizing to form polydopamine membrane. Antigen and antibody are specifically combined to achieve quantitative detection of PSA according to the current changes at different concentrations of antigen. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the PEC immunosensor has an ideal linear relationship between 1 pg/mL - 50 ng/mL, and the detection limit is 0.084 pg/mL. In addition, the prepared immunosensor has good stability, reproducibility and selectivity, providing a new method for the detection of PSA in actual sample analysis.

Abstract
Ultra-sensitive detection of cancer-related biomarkers in serum is of great significance for early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and staging of cancer. In this work, we proposed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering and fluorescence (SERS/FL) dual-mode biosensor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-related miRNA (miR-224) detection using the composition of well-arranged Au nanoarrays (Au NAs) substrate coupled with the target-catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy. The hot spots densely and uniformly distributed on the Au array offers considerably enhanced and reproducible SERS signals, along with their wide and open surface to facilitate miR-224 adsorption. By this sensing strategy, the target miR-224 can be detected in a wide linear range (1 fM to 1 nM) with a limit of detection of 0.34 fM in the SERS mode and 0.39 fM in the FL mode. Meanwhile, this biosensor with exceptional specificity and anti-interference ability can discriminate target miR-224 from other interference miRNAs. Practical analysis of human blood samples also demonstrated considerable reliability and repeatability of our developed strategy. Furthermore, this biosensor can distinguish HCC cancer subjects from normal ones and monitor HCC patients before and after hepatectomy as well as guide the distinct Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stages. Overall, benefiting from a well-arranged Au nanoarray, CHA amplification strategy, and SERS/metal enhanced fluorescence effect, this established biosensor opens new avenues for the early prediction, warning, monitoring, and staging of HCC.

Abstract
A DNA-based electrochemical biosensor has been developed herein for the detection of Human papillomavirus-16 (HPV-16). HPV-16 is a double-stranded, non-enveloped, epitheliotropic DNA virus which responsible for cervical cancer. In this proposed biosensor, an indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass electrode was modified for sensing HPV-16 using graphene oxide and silver coated gold nanoparticles. Subsequently, HPV-16 specific DNA probes were immobilized on a modified ITO surface. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by FE-SEM and UV-VIS spectroscopy techniques. Electrochemical characterization was performed by using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy methods. The hybridization between the probe and target DNA was analyzed by a reduction in current, mediated by methylene blue. The biosensor showed a qualitative inequity between the probe and target HPV-16 DNA. The developed biosensor showed high sensitivity as 0.54 mA/aM for the detection of HPV-16. In a linear range of 100 aM to 1 μM with 100 aM LOD, the proposed biosensor exhibited excellent performance with the rapid diagnosis. Thus, the results indicate that the developed HPV DNA biosensor shows good consistency with the present approaches and opens new opportunities for developing point-of-care devices. The diagnosis of HPV-16 infection in its early stage may also be possible with this detection system.

Abstract
The endless development in nanotechnology has introduced new vitality in device fabrication including biosensor design for biomedical applications. With outstanding features like suitable biocompatibility, good electrical and thermal conductivity, wide surface area and catalytic activity, nanomaterials have been considered excellent and promising immobilisation candidates for the development of high-impact biosensors after they emerged. Owing to these reasons, the present review deals with the efficient use of nanomaterials as immobilisation candidates for biosensor fabrication. These include the implementation of carbon nanomaterials-graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanoparticles, carbon nanodots-and MXenes, likewise their synergistic impact when merged with metal oxide nanomaterials. Furthermore, we also discuss the origin of the synthesis of some nanomaterials, the challenges associated with the use of those nanomaterials and the chemistry behind their incorporation with other materials for biosensor design. The last section covers the prospects for the development and application of the highlighted nanomaterials.

Abstract
Trace staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) in food poses a serious risk to human health, and it is vital to develop a sensitive and accurate approach for SEC monitoring. Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor was developed for the quantitative detection of SEC. SERS-active gold-silver Janus@gold nanoparticles (Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs) were prepared and showed tunable solid and hollow nanostructures by simply controlling the pH values of the reaction system. Solid Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs exhibited intrinsic and enhanced SERS activity due to the intense plasmonic coupling effect between Au dots and Au-Ag Janus NPs, which was 2.27-fold and 17.46-fold higher than that of Au-Ag Janus NPs and hollow Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs, respectively. The attachment of multiple Au dots also protected Ag islands from oxidization, which increased the stability of Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs. Solid Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs served as a label-free, strong, and stable SERS detection probe and achieved sensitive and reliable detection of SEC. The limit of detection was as low as 0.55 pg/mL. This study will expand the application prospects of label-free SERS detection probes in complex systems for food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and early diagnosis is of paramount importance for identifying appropriate treatment pathways to improve cancer patient survival. However, conventional methods for cancer detection such as biopsy, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopy, X-ray and ultrasound are limited and not efficient for early cancer detection. Advancements in molecular technology have enabled the identification of various cancer biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of the deadly disease. The detection of these biomarkers can be done by biosensors. Biosensors are less time consuming compared to conventional methods and has the potential to detect cancer at an earlier stage. Compared to conventional biosensors, photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors have improved selectivity and sensitivity and is a suitable tool for detecting cancer agents. Recently, 2D carbon materials have gained interest as a PEC sensing platform due to their high surface area and ease of surface modifications for improved electrical transfer and attachment of biorecognition elements. This review will focus on the development of 2D carbon nanomaterials as electrode platform in PEC biosensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers. The working principles, biorecognition strategies and key parameters that influence the performance of the biosensors will be critically discussed. In addition, the potential application of PEC biosensor in clinical settings will also be explored, providing insights into the future perspective and challenges of exploiting PEC biosensors for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Exploiting innovative strategies with signal amplification in photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing systems to realize sensitive screening of low-abundance proteins has become one of the mainstream research orientations. Herein we reported a new strategy to amplify photocurrent signal employing a photocatalyst-electrolyte effect in alkaline media for the sensitive monitoring of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) using snowflake-liked CdS@ZnIn2S4 heterojunction as photosensitizer. In this strategy, both the band-edge position and surface redox reaction process were subtly altered by modulating the alkalinity of electrolyte. The hydroxyl anions (OH-) from NaOH could be oxidized to hydroxyl radicals (·OH) by the holes in CdS@ZnIn2S4, thus accelerating the scavenging of holes and promoting the photocurrent. Based on the above-mentioned mechanism, a sensitive split-type glucose oxidase-mediated PEC immunosensor for PSA detection was fabricated. Upon target PSA introduction, the glucose acid was generated through the sandwich-type immunoreaction to affect the alkalinity of PEC detection environment, thereby suppressing the photocurrent intensity. The CdS@ZnIn2S4-based PEC immunosensor exhibited satisfactory photocurrent responses with a good linear range of 0.04-40 ng mL-1 at a limit of detection of 14 pg mL-1. Significantly, this research not only introduces an effective strategy to detect PSA with good sensitivity and specificity, but also provides a new insight to amplify the signal by regulating the electrolyte.

Abstract
The acetone-sensing performance of BiFeO3 is related to structural phase transformation, morphology and band gap energy which can be modulated by rare-earth ions doping. In this work, Bi1-xErxFeO3 nanoparticles with different amounts of Er doping were synthesized via the sol-gel method. The mechanism of Er doping on acetone-sensing performance of Bi1-xErxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) sensors was the focus of the research. The optimal working temperature of Bi0.9Er0.1FeO3 (300 °C) was decreased by 60 °C compared to BiFeO3 (360 °C). The Bi0.9Er0.1FeO3 sample demonstrated the optimal response to 100 ppm acetone (43.2), which was 4.8 times that of pure BFO at 300 °C. The primary reason, which enhances the acetone-sensing performance, could be the phase transformation induced by Er doping. The lattice distortions induced by phase transformation are favorable to increasing the carrier concentration and mobility, which will bring more changes to the hole-accumulation layer. Thus, the acetone-sensing performance of Bi0.9Er0.1FeO3 was improved.

Abstract
Persulfate activation technology based on sulfate radicals is currently a hot spot in the field of environmental governance. In our work, α-FeOOH was successful in situ loaded on kaolinite surface through a simple one-step hydrothermal process. The prepared composites were systematically characterized, and the relationship between the structural properties and peroxymonosulfate activation properties was explored. Interestingly, compared to bare α-FeOOH, the introduction of kaolinite in composite induced the transformation of α-FeOOH crystal and affected the morphology, where uniformly dispersed nanoparticles rather than rod-like agglomerated crystals appeared. The received FeOOH/kaolinite composite exhibited admirable adsorption and degradation of ciprofloxacin performance with the removal efficiency of 86.1%, and the degradation rate constant was up to 5.2 times higher than that of bare α-FeOOH. In addition, the main active species in the catalytic oxidation system are surface-bound SO4•-, •OH and free 1O2. This work would give a deep insight into the role of natural minerals in composite catalytic materials and the construction of high-efficient mineral-based composite materials.

Abstract
Differential diagnosis of pathogenic diseases, presently coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza, is crucial with due attention to their superspreading events, presumably long incubation period, particular complications, and treatments. In this paper, a label-free, self-powered, and ultrafast immunosensor device working based on triboelectric effect is proposed. Equilibrium constants of specific antibody-antigen reactions are accompanied by IEP-relevant electric charges of antigens to recognize SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1. Simulation attributes including fluid flow and geometrical parameters are optimized so that the maximum capture efficiency of 85.63% is achieved. Accordingly, antibody-antigen complexes form electric double layers (EDLs) across the channel interfaces. The resultant built-in electric field affects the following external electric field derived from triboelectricity, leading to the variation of open-circuit voltage as a sensing metric. The device is flexible to operate in conductor-to-dielectric single-electrode and contact-separation modes simultaneously. While the detection limit is reduced utilizing the single-electrode mode compared to the latter one, surface treatment of the triboelectric pair contributes to the sensitivity enhancement. A threshold value equal to −4.113 V is featured to discriminate these two viruses in a vast detectable region; however, further surface engineering can allow the on-site detection of any electrically-charged pathogen applying the emerging triboelectric immunosensor enjoying a lower detection limit.

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is a trending technological field that converts any physical object into a communicable smarter one by converging the physical world with the digital world. This innovative technology connects the device to the internet and provides a platform to collect real-time data, cloud storage, and analyze the collected data to trigger smart actions from a remote location via remote notifications, etc. Because of its wide-ranging applications, this technology can be integrated into almost all the industries. Another trending field with tremendous opportunities is Nanotechnology, which provides many benefits in several areas of life, and helps to improve many technological and industrial sectors. So, integration of IoT and Nanotechnology can bring about the very important field of Internet of Nanothings (IoNT), which can re-shape the communication industry. For that, data (collected from trillions of nanosensors, connected to billions of devices) would be the 'ultimate truth', which could be generated from highly efficient nanosensors, fabricated from various novel nanomaterials, one of which is graphene, the so-called 'wonder material' of the 21st century. Therefore, graphene-assisted IoT/IoNT platforms may revolutionize the communication technologies around the globe. In this article, a status review of the smart applications of graphene in the IoT sector is presented. Firstly, various green synthesis of graphene for sustainable development is elucidated, followed by its applications in various nanosensors, detectors, actuators, memory, and nano-communication devices. Also, the future market prospects are discussed to converge various emerging concepts like machine learning, fog/edge computing, artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain, with the graphene-assisted IoT field to bring about the concept of 'all-round connectivity in every sphere possible'.
