Abstract
With their regulated Boolean logic operations in vitro and in vivo, DNA logic circuits have shown great promise for target recognition and disease diagnosis. However, significant obstacles must be overcome to improve their operational efficiency and broaden their range of applications. In this study, we propose an Exo III-powered closed-loop DNA circuit (ECDC) architecture that integrates four highly efficient AND logic gates. The ECDC utilizes Exo III as the sole enzyme-activated actuator, simplifying the circuit design and ensuring optimal performance. Moreover, the use of Exo III enables a self-feedback (autocatalytic) mechanism in the dynamic switching between AND logic gates within this circulating logic circuit. After validating the signal flow and examining the impact of each AND logic gate on the regulation of the circuit, we demonstrate the intelligent determination of miR-21 using the carefully designed ECDC architecture in vitro. The proposed ECDC exhibits a linear detection range for miR-21 from 0 to 300 nM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of approximately 0.01 nM, surpassing most reported methods. It also shows excellent selectivity for miR-21 detection and holds potential for identifying and imaging live cancer cells. This study presents a practical and efficient strategy for monitoring various nucleic acid-based biomarkers in vitro and in vivo through specific sequence modifications, offering significant potential for early cancer diagnosis, bioanalysis, and prognostic clinical applications.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) exhibits multiresistance to a plethora of antibiotics, therefore, accurate detection methods must be employed for timely identification to facilitate effective infection control measures. Herein, we construct a high-efficiency ratiometric electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensor that integrates multiple exonuclease (Exo) III-assisted cyclic amplification units for rapid detection of trace amounts of MRSA. The target bacteria selectively bind to the aptamer, triggering the release of two single-stranded DNAs. One released DNA strand initiates the opening of a hairpin probe, inducing exonuclease cleavage to generate a single strand that can form a T-shaped structure with the double strand connecting the oxidation-reduction (O-R) emitter of N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol gold (ABEI-Au). Consequently, ABEI-Au is released upon Exo III cleavage. The other strand unwinds the hairpin DNA structure on the surface of the reduction-oxidation (R-O) emitter ZIF-8@CdS, facilitating the subsequent release of a specific single strand through Exo III cleavage. This process effectively anchors the cathode-emitting material to the electrode. The Fe(III) metal-organogel (Fe-MOG) is selected as a substrate, in which the catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide by Fe(III) active centers accelerates the generation of reactive oxygen species and enhances signals from both ABEI-Au and ZIF-8@CdS. In this way, the two emitters cooperate to achieve bacterial detection at the single-cell level, and a good linear range is obtained in the range of 100-107 CFU/mL. Moreover, the sensor exhibited excellent performance in detecting MRSA across various authentic samples and accurately quantifying MRSA levels in serum samples, demonstrating its immense potential in addressing clinical bacterial detection challenges.

Abstract
Chitinase 3-like 1 (CH3L1) and liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) are promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI). Here, a highly sensitive method for the quantitative detection of CH3L1 and L-FABP by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on graphene oxide/gold and silver core-shell nanoparticles (GO/Au@Ag NPs) was proposed. The results showed that such GO/Au@Ag substrate can achieve rapid sensing of CH3L1 and L-FABP with a wide response range (2 × 10-1 to 2 × 10-8 mg/mL and 1.2 × 10-1 to 1.2 × 10-8 mg/mL, respectively) and high sensitivity. The detection limits of CH3L1 and L-FABP were 1.21 × 10-8 mg/mL and 0.62 × 10-8 mg/mL, respectively. In addition, the simultaneous detection of the two biomarkers in serum was demonstrated, showing the feasibility of this method in the complex biological environment. The detection of CH3L1 and L-FABP will greatly improve the early diagnosis and intervention of AKI.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become one of the greatest threats to human health due to its strong drug resistance, wide distribution range, and high infection rate. Rapid identification of MRSA strains is very important for accurate diagnosis and early treatment of MRSA infections. Here, we introduced an Exo III-assisted nanomotor mower to build 3D hotspots for rapid detection of MRSA by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). As the bacteria bound to the aptamer, two trigger chains were released from the double-stranded structure, and the nano-mowers were activated by opening a hairpin probe on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). With the continued cleavage of Exo III and cyclic release of the trigger chain, multiple hairpin DNAs on the AuNPs were cleaved to increase the motor power. The resulting nano-mower continued slicing protective DNA from larger AuNPs, exposing the AuNPs. Without the protection of DNA, Mg2+ in the buffer induced spontaneous aggregation of the AuNPs, and a large number of hotspots were formed for SERS measurements. Under optimal conditions, MRSA can be detected within 40 min, and the concentration of MRSA showed a good linear relationship with the SERS intensity at 1342 cm-1, with a limit of detection as low as 1 CFU/mL and a wide linear range (100 to 107 CFU/mL). This strategy creates a rapid bacterial detection method that performs well on actual samples utilizing portable Raman spectroscopy instruments, with potential applications in food detection, water detection, clinical treatment, and diagnosis.

Abstract
Circulating miRNAs in the blood can regulate disease development and thus indicate disease states via their various expression levels. For these reasons, circulating miRNAs constitute useful biomarkers, and an approach to the accurate detection of circulating miRNAs is attractive in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, methods for clinical detecting of circulating miRNA that take both sensitivity and practicality into account are still needed. Therefore, we aimed herein to solve some inherent problems in the actual detection using a robust surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform with integrated nucleic acid amplification and nanoparticle aggregation to construct 3D hotspots for improving performance of analyzing circulating miRNAs. After target recognition and initial signal amplification by DNAzyme, we observed that release triggered an open hairpin DNA on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which then promote AuNP aggregation, causing the accumulation of a large number of hotspots in three-dimention. The SERS biosensor achieved a better performance than the sandwich-type separation detection, with a low detection limit (0.37 fM) and a broad linear range (1 fM–10 nM) in liquids. This SERS platform can be used as a powerful tool for the detection of circulating miRNAs, and it can be used to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of various clinical-disease diagnoses.

Abstract
Change in the level of human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a major element in the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Most of the methodologies are currently restricted to their application in routine clinical screening due to the scarcity of adequate screening tools, false reading, long assay time, and cost. Innovative techniques and the integration of knowledge from a variety of domains, such as materials science and engineering, are needed to provide sustainable solutions. The convergence of precision point-of-care (POC) diagnostic techniques, which allow patients to respond in real time to changes in PSA levels, provides promising possibilities for quantitative and quantitative detection of PSA. This solution could be interesting and relevant for use in PCa diagnosis at the POC. The approaches enable low-cost real-time detection and are simple to integrate into user-friendly sensor devices. This review focuses on the investigations, prospects, and challenges associated with integrating engineering sciences with cancer biology to develop nanotechnology-based tools for PCa diagnosis. This article intends to encourage the development of new nanomaterials to construct high-performance POC devices for PCa detection. Finally, the review concludes with closing remarks and a perspective forecast.

Abstract
Exosome-based liquid biopsy holds great potential in monitoring tumor progression. Current exosome detection biosensors rely on signal amplification strategies to improve sensitivity; however, these strategies pay little attention to manipulating the number of signal reporters, limiting the rational optimization of the biosensors. Here, we have developed a modularized surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) labeling strategy, where each Raman reporter is coupled with lysine as a signal-lysine module, and thus the number of Raman reporters can be precisely controlled by the modularized solid-phase peptide synthesis. Using this strategy, we screened out an optimum Raman biosensor for ultrasensitive exosome detection, with the limit of detection of 2.4 particles per microliter. This biosensor enables a successful detection of the tumor with an average diameter of approximately 3.55 mm, and thus enables successful surveillance of the postoperative tumor recurrence in mice models and distinguishing cancer patients from healthy subjects. Our work provides a de novo strategy to precisely amplify signals toward a myriad of biosensor-related medical applications.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been recognized as a powerful tool for biosensors due to the ultrahigh sensitivity and unique fingerprint information. However, there are some limitations in trace target nucleic acid detection for the restricted signal-transducing and amplification strategies. Inspired by CRISPR/Cas12a with specific target DNA-activated collateral single-strand DNA (ssDNA) cleavage activity and liposome with signal molecule-loading properties, we first proposed a sensitive SERS-based on-site nucleic acid detection strategy mediated by CRISPR/Cas12a with trans-cleavage activity on ssDNA linkers utilized to capture liposomes. Liposomes loading two kinds of signal molecules, 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) and cysteine, could achieve the dual-mode detection of target DNA with SERS and naked eye, respectively. The promptly amplified signals were initiated by the triggered breakdown of signal molecule-loaded liposomes. Emancipated 4-NTP, a biological-silent Raman reporter, would achieve highly selective and sensitive SERS measurement. Released cysteine induced the aggregation of plasmonic gold nanoparticles, leading to an obvious red to blue colorimetric shift to realize portable naked-eye detection. With this strategy, target nucleic acid concentration was dexterously converted into SERS and visualization signals and could be detected as low as 100 aM and 10 pM, respectively. The approach was also successfully applied to determine meat adulteration, achieving the detection of a low adulteration ratio in the complicated food matrix. We anticipate that this strategy will not only be regarded as a universal platform for the on-site detection of food authenticity but also broaden SERS application for the accurate determination of diverse biomarkers.

Abstract
An immunoassay is mostly employed for the direct detection of food contaminants, and a molecular assay for targeting nucleic acids employs amplification techniques for distinguishing genes. The integration of an immunoassay with nucleic acid amplification techniques inherits the direct and rapid performance of an immunoassay and the ultrasensitive merit of a molecular assay. Enthusiastic attention has been attracted in recent years on the utilization of isothermal amplification techniques in an immunoassay, as well as the employment of a lateral flow immunoassay in a molecular assay. Thus, this Review discussed these kinds of approaches from two categories: immuno-nucleic acid amplification (I-NAA) and nucleic acid amplification-immunoassay (NAA-I). The advantages, drawbacks, and future developments were discussed for a comprehensive understanding.

Hairpin DNA-Mediated isothermal amplification (HDMIA) techniques for nucleic acid testing. Talanta 2021; 226:122146.

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

A hairpin-mediated nicking enzymatic signal amplification for nucleic acids detection. Talanta 2021; 225:121991.

Abstract
A novel signal amplification to detect nucleic acid, called hairpin-mediated nicking enzymatic signal amplification (HNESA), is developed. This method overcomes the limitation of conventional nicking enzymatic signal amplification (NESA) that the target must contain the nicking endonuclease recognition site by using a hairpin probe containing the nicking endonuclease recognition site as an intermediary. Nucleic acid with any sequence can be amplified by HNESA which substantially improves the substrate-scope of traditional NESA. HNESA could detect nucleic acids (ssDNA and RNA) with a detection limit of 8.3 pM at 55 °C. As low as 68 fM could also be detected by integrating HNESA and strand-displacement amplification (SDA). More importantly, HNESA is quite efficient in distinguish single base mismatched sequences. HNESA has potential application for nucleic acid detection in complex biological samples. Therefore, HNESA with high sensitivity and ultrahigh selectivity, should be a promising tool for nucleic acid research, especially for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection.

Abstract
Selective and sensitive detection of nucleic acid biomarkers is of great significance in early-stage diagnosis and targeted therapy. Therefore, the development of diagnostic methods capable of detecting diseases at the molecular level in biological fluids is vital to the emerging revolution in the early diagnosis of diseases. However, the vast majority of the currently available ultrasensitive detection strategies involve either target/signal amplification or involve complex designs. Here, using a p53 tumor suppressor gene whose mutation has been implicated in more than 50% of human cancers, we show a background-free ultrasensitive detection of this gene on a simple platform. The sensor exhibits a relatively static mid-FRET state in the absence of a target that can be attributed to the time-averaged fluorescence intensity of fast transitions among multiple states, but it undergoes continuous dynamic switching between a low- and a high-FRET state in the presence of a target, allowing a high-confidence detection. In addition to its simple design, the sensor has a detection limit down to low femtomolar (fM) concentration without the need for target amplification. We also show that this sensor is highly effective in discriminating against single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Given the generic hybridization-based detection platform, the sensing strategy developed here can be used to detect a wide range of nucleic acid sequences enabling early diagnosis of diseases and screening genetic disorders.

Abstract
With the continuous development of biosensors, researchers have focused increasing attention on various signal amplification strategies to pursue superior performance for more applications. In comparison with other signal amplification strategies, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a powerful signal amplification technique shows its certain charm owing to nonenzymatic and isothermal features. Recently, on the basis of conventional HCR, this technique has been developed and improved rapidly, and a variety of HCR-based biosensors with excellent performance have been reported. Herein, we present a systematic and critical review on the research progress of HCR in biosensors in the last five years, including the newly developed HCR strategies such as multibranched HCR, migration HCR, localized HCR, in situ HCR, netlike HCR, and so on, as well as the combination strategies of HCR with isothermal signal amplification techniques, nanomaterials, and functional DNA molecules. By illustrating some representative works, we also summarize the advantage and challenge of HCR in biosensors, and offer a deep discussion of the latest progress and future development trends of HCR in biosensors.

Abstract
Herein, we reported a simple, flexible and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to detect methyl parathion residues in real life. The substrate was fabricated by filter paper and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with excellent reproducibility and stability. First, Au NPs were synthesized by the seed mediated growth method and assembled to the filter paper through immersion. The Raman probe molecule 4-MBA was used to evaluate performance of the substrate for an optimized signal using a portable Raman spectrometer coupled with 785 nm laser. Then, the paper-based substrate was applied to detect methyl parathion standard solution whose detection limit was down to 0.011 μg/cm2, and the linear range was between 0.018 μg/cm2 and 0.354 μg/cm2. Afterwards, actual sample (apple) spiked with methyl parathion was taken to verify the practicality of the substrate by a simple way of "press-peel off". The recovery rate was ranged from 94.09% to 98.72%, indicating that this method is reliable in actual sample detection without complicated pretreatment steps. This work demonstrates that the flexible paper-based substrate combined with portable Raman instruments can be potentially applied to on-site detection of hazardous substances in the field of food safety.

Abstract
A multifunctional plasmonic gold chip has been constructed for early diagnosis and highly effective killing of bacteria, which is critical for human health. The chip features high bacterial capture efficiency, plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and can act as a highly sensitive sensor for dual-mode bacteria imaging and detection (down to 102 CFU mL-1) with good reliability and accuracy. The developed assay can distinguish Gram-positive S. aureus bacteria from Gram-negative E. coli bacteria, providing valuable information for therapy. Importantly, the chip presents excellent photothermal antibacterial activity (98%) and can inactivate both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in situ. Furthermore, the chip was used to effectively promote the wound healing process in bacteria infected mice in vivo, showing great potential for antibacterial applications.

Abstract
An indirect aptamer-based SERS assay for insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF-IIR) protein was developed. The gold substrate and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were employed simultaneously to achieve double enhancement for SERS signals. Firstly, the five commercial SERS substrates including Enspectr, Ocean-Au, Ocean-AG, Ocean-SP and Q-SERS substrates were evaluated using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA). The Q-SERS substrate was selected based on low relative standard deviation (RSD, 8.6%) and high enhancement factor (EF, 8.7*105), using a 785 nm laser. The aptamer for IGF-IIR protein was designed to include two sequences: one grafted on gold substrate to specifically capture the IGF-IIR protein and a second one forming a 3' sticky bridge to capture SERS nanotags. The SERS nanotag was composed by AgNPs (20 nm), 4-MBA and DNA probes that can hybridize with the aptamer. Due to the steric-hindrance effect, when the aptamer doesn't combine with IGF-IIR protein, it only can capture the SERS nanotags. Therefore, there was a negative correlation between the concentration of IGF-IIR protein and the intensity of 4-MBA at 1076 cm-1. The detection limit reached to 141.2 fM and linear range was from 10 pM to 1 μM. The SERS aptasensor also exhibits a high reproducibility with an average RSD of 4.5%. The interference test was conducted with other four proteins to verify the accuracy of measuring. The study provides an approach to quantitative determination of proteins based on specific recognition and nucleic acid hybridization of aptamers, to establish sandwich structure for SERS enhancement. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay on insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF-IIR) protein by combining the aptamer modified gold substrate and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) and DNA probe modified silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
A sensitive and accurate identification of specific DNA fragments (usually containing a mutation) can influence clinical decisions. Standard methods routinely used for this type of detection are PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction, and its modifications), and, less commonly, NGS (Next Generation Sequencing). However, these methods are quite complicated, requiring time-consuming, multi-stage sample preparation, and specially trained staff. Usually, it takes weeks for patients to obtain their results. Therefore, different DNA sensors are being intensively developed by many groups. One technique often used to obtain an analytical signal from DNA sensors is Raman spectroscopy. Its modification, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), is especially useful for practical analytical applications due to its extra low limit of detection. SERS takes advantage of the strong increase in the efficiency of Raman signal generation caused by a local electric field enhancement near plasmonic (typically gold and silver) nanostructures. In this condensed review, we describe the most important types of SERS-based nanosensors for genetic studies and comment on their potential for becoming diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Overexpression of the Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) is an essential biomarker for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we designed a new surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy active chip for the detection of AFP with high sensitivity and excellent repeatability. This chip was composed of a honeycomb gold nanostructure array with strong electromagnetic field coupling due to the special cavity geometric characteristics of the honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure exhibited extraordinary performance for the specific detection of AFP in the range of 0.003-3 ng/mL and also determined the proportion of AFP-L3 with a high degree of accuracy, which has shown great potential for application in the clinical diagnosis of HCC.

Abstract
In our bioassay protocol, the Ag@4MBA@DNA-biotin probes were synthesized by linking biotin-modified DNA and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid-covered Ag nanoparticles, and the Si@Ag@anti-digoxin/digoxin-DNA substrate was fabricated by immune linking of digoxin-DNA and anti-digoxin immobilized on a Ag-coated wafer. Then, the probes, miRNA-21 and the substrate were constructed into a "sandwich structure" to detect the variation in the SERS signals with respect to miRNA-21 concentrations. Next, streptavidin and extra probes were alternately introduced to implement the cascade amplification of the SERS signal to increase the detection sensitivity. The results show that the limit of detection (LOD) with cascade amplification is remarkably improved from 97.81 pM to 38.02 fM, which is three orders of magnitude higher than the original data without cascade amplification. Furthermore, the SERS-based cascade amplification mechanism was analyzed and is attributed to the "hot spots effect" of the noble metal nanostructure. The biotin-streptavidin (B-S) system was introduced into the SERS detection platform, and the novel SERS-based cascade amplification bioassay protocol has significant creativity for the detection of nucleic acids.

Abstract
The molybdenum oxide and graphene oxide (MoO2/GO) nanocomposite has been fabricated via simple hydrothermal assisted synthesis using Mo and MoO3 as precursors. The MoO2 nanospheres with porous hollow structure are assembled onto GO nanosheets. Profiting from the plasmonic effects of MoO2 and synergistic effect of MoO2 and GO, this hybrid nanomaterial exhibits significantly enhanced surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity for organic pollutants. The detection limit for rhodamine 6G (R6G) is 1.0 × 10-9 M, and the maximum enhancement factor (EF) reaches up to 1.05 × 107, which is the best among the semiconductor-based SERS materials. For practical application, the MoO2/GO SERS substrates are also applied to detect Methylene blue (MB) in river water, and the detection limit (1.0 × 10-8 M) can be acquired. Pyrene is also chosen as probe molecule, and quantitative determination is achieved with detection limit of 1.0 × 10-7 M. These demonstrate the well feasibility for multi-molecule detection. Furthermore, the nanocomposite displays high stability, reproducible stability, and acid and alkali resistance. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Numerous nanomaterials have been utilized for novel biosensors with sensitivity and selectivity in the last decades due to their intrinsic unique properties. Herein, a facile fluorescence method for nucleic acid detection was developed by employing TiO2 nanowires (NWs) as the sensing platform. The quenching effect of TiO2 NWs to fluorophore-labelled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was found to be more significant than that to fluorophore-labelled double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) or triplex DNA probes. More importantly, the whole quenching process was also fast since it just took about ten minutes to reach the equilibrium. Based on the different affinities of TiO2 NWs to ssDNA, dsDNA and triplex DNA probes, the sequence-specific nucleic acids were detected with sensitivity and specificity. Further investigation has demonstrated that the quenching efficiency of TiO2 NWs to long ssDNA was apparently superior than that to short ssDNA. Moreover, the fluorescence from various ssDNA probes labelled with a wide spectrum of fluorescent dyes could also be quenched by TiO2 NWs. These inspiring results reveal that TiO2 NWs could be an excellent universal nanoquencher used in the next-generation biosensors.

Abstract
The base-excision repair enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of genome integrity. The authors describe a fluorometric method for the detection of the activity of UDG. It is making use of (a) a 3'-FAM-labeled hairpin DNA probe with two uracil deoxyribonucleotides in the self-complementary duplex region of its hairpin structure, (b) exonuclease I (Exo I) that catalyzes the release of FAM from the UDG-induced stretched ssDNA probe, and (c) graphene oxide that quenches the green FAM fluorescence of the intact hairpin DNA probe in the absence of UDG. If Exo I causes the release of FAM from the hairpin DNA probe, the fluorescence peaking at 517 nm is turned off in the absence of UDG but turned on in its presence. The resulting assay has a wide linear range (0.008 to 1 U·mL-1) and a detection limit as low as 0.005 U·mL-1. It has good specificity for UDG over potentially interfering enzymes and gave satisfactory results when applied to biological samples. Conceivably, the method may be used in a wide range of applications such as in diagnosis, drug screening, and in studying the repair of DNA lesions.

Abstract
Detecting disease-related biomarkers is of great significance for disease diagnosis and therapy. In this work, we develop an ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor for the detection of an acute myocardial infarction-related miRNA (miR-133a) using composition-adjustable hollow Ag/Au nanosphere-based SERS probes coupled with the target-catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy. Bimetallic probes displaying high stability and a strong surface plasmon resonance effect were synthesized with a controllable ratio of silver and gold by a galvanic replacement method and then captured by a duplex linker produced in the CHA process to accomplish signal amplification. In this way, the target miR-133a can be detected in a wide linear range with a detection limit of 0.306 fM and high selectivity over other miRNAs expressed in human hearts. Practical applications in human blood samples reveal the strong anti-interference ability and ideal sensitivity of our developed sensing platform in physiological environments, benefiting its potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Developing ultrasensitive probes holds great significance for simultaneous detection of multiplexed cancer-associated nucleic acids. Bimetallic nanoparticles containing silver may be exploited as nanoprobes for disease detection, which can produce stable and strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals. However, it remains extremely challenging that such SERS nanoprobes are directly synthesized. Herein gold-silver nanosnowmen, grown via a DNA-mediated approach and attached to thiol-containing Raman dyes, are successfully synthesized. Stable SERS-enhanced gold substrates are also prepared and used as the enriching containers, where the capture DNAs are tethered to sense the target genes jointly enhanced by the SERS nanoprobes in a sandwich hybridization assay. This means detection of the target gene can obtain a limit of detection close to 0.839 fM. Such double-enhanced SERS nanosensors are further employed to simultaneously detect the three types of prostate carcinoma-related genes with high sensitivity and specificity, which meanwhile exhibit robust capacity of resisting disturbance in practical samples. Simultaneous and multiplexed detection of cancer-related genes may provide further biomedical applications with new opportunity.

Abstract
For many disease states, positive outcomes are directly linked to early diagnosis, where therapeutic intervention would be most effective. Recently, trends in disease diagnosis have focused on the development of label-free sensing techniques that are sensitive to low analyte concentrations found in the physiological environment. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that allows for label-free, highly sensitive, and selective detection of analytes through the amplification of localized electric fields on the surface of a plasmonic material when excited with monochromatic light. This results in enhancement of the Raman scattering signal, which allows for the detection of low concentration analytes, giving rise to the use of SERS as a diagnostic tool for disease. Here, we present a review of recent developments in the field of in vivo and in vitro SERS biosensing for a range of disease states including neurological disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and viral disease.
