Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents the leading cause of cardiovascular death worldwide, and it is thus pivotal to develop effective approaches for the timely detection of AMI markers, especially possessing the characteristics of antibody-free, signal amplification, and manipulation convenience. We herein construct a MoS2 nanosheet-powered CRISPR/Cas12a sensing strategy for sensitive determination of miR-499, a superior AMI biomarker to protein markers. The presence of miR-499 at a trace level is able to induce a significantly enhanced fluorescence signal in a DNA-based molecular engineering platform, which consists of CRISPR/Cas12a enzymatic reactions and MoS2 nanosheet-controllable signal reporting components. The MoS2 nanosheets were characterized by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The detection feasibility was verified by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis and fluorescence measurements. The detection limit is determined as 381.78 pM with the linear range from 0.1 ⅹ 10-9 to 13.33 ⅹ 10-9 M in a fast manner (about 30 min). Furthermore, miRNA detection in real human serum is also conducted with desirable recovery rates (89.5 %-97.6 %), which may find potential application for the clinic diagnosis. We describe herein the first example of MoS2 nanosheet-based signal amplified fluorescence sensor for effective detection of AMI-related miRNA.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor of the female reproductive system with insidious symptoms, aggressiveness, risk of metastasis, and high mortality. Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), a standard biomarker for screening epithelial ovarian cancer, can be applied to track cancer progression and treatment response. Here, we constructed an aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor to achieve sensitive detection of CA125. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was used as the stable layered substrate, combined with the irregular branched structure of gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) to provide the sensing interface with a large specific surface area by one-step electrodeposition AuNFs@MoS2. The simplified electrode modification step increased the stability of the electrode while ensuring excellent electrochemical performance and providing many sulfhydryl binding sites. Then, AuNFs@MoS2/CA125 aptamer/MCH sensor was designed for CA125 detection. Based on AuNFs@MoS2 electrode, CA125 aptamer with sulfhydryl as the sensitive layer was fixed on the electrode by gold sulfur bonds. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) was used to block the electrode and reduce the non-specific adsorption. Finally, DPV analysis was applied for CA125 detection with the range of 0.0001 U/mL to 500 U/mL. Our designed aptamer sensor showed reasonable specificity, reproducibility, and stability. Clinical sample testing also proved the consistency of our sensor with the gold standard in negative/positive judgment. This work demonstrated a novel strategy for integrating nanostructures and biocompatibility to build advanced cancer biomarker sensors with promising applications.

Abstract
An electrochemical DNA sensor that can detect human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and HPV-18 for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer was developed by using a graphitic nano-onion/molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet composite. The electrode surface for probing DNA chemisorption was prepared via chemical conjugation between acyl bonds on the surfaces of functionalized nanoonions and the amine groups on functionalized MoS2 nanosheets. The cyclic voltammetry profile of an 1:1 nanoonion/MoS2 nanosheet composite electrode had an improved rectangular shape compared to that of an MoS2 nanosheet elecrode, thereby indicating the amorphous nature of the nano-onions with sp2 distancing curved carbon layers that provide enhanced electronic conductivity, compared to MoS2 nanosheet only. The nanoonion/MoS2 sensor for the DNA detection of HPV-16 and HPV-18, respectively, was measured at high sensitivity through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in the presence of methylene blue (MB) as a redox indicator. The DPV current peak was lowered after probe DNA chemisorption and target DNA hybridization because the hybridized DNA induced less effective MB electrostatic intercalation due to it being double-stranded, resulting in a lower oxidation peak. The nanoonion/MoS2 nanosheet composite electrodes attained higher current peaks than the MoS2 nanosheet electrode, thereby indicating a greater change in the differential peak probably because the nanoonions enhanced conductive electron transfer. Notably, both of the target DNAs produced from HPV-18 and HPV-16 Siha and Hela cancer cell lines were effectively detected with high specificity. The conductivity of MoS2 improved by complexation with nano-onions provides a suitable platform for electrochemical biosensors for the early diagnosis of many ailments in humans.

Abstract
As a major public health issue, early cancer detection is of great significance. A field-effect transistor (FET) based on an MoS2/C60 composite nanolayer as the channel material enhances device performance by adding a light source, allowing the ultrasensitive detection of cancer-related miRNA. In this work, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to deposit MoS2 layer by layer, and C60 was deposited by an evaporation coater to obtain a composite nanolayer with good surface morphology as the channel material of the FET. Based on the good absorption of C60 by blue-violet light, a 405 nm laser was selected to irradiate the channel material, improving the function of FET biosensors. A linear detection window from 10 pM to 1 fM with an ultralow detection limit of 5.16 aM for miRNA-155 was achieved.

Abstract
The continuous evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with discovery of multiple mutants, has caused widespread panic and concern worldwide. The rapid antigen detection method via a single ligand recognition, although currently implemented in many countries, remains challenging for mutated antigens. Herein, we present a novel strategy using a dual recognition by two types of targeted ligands, based on photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing for detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. To demonstrate this strategy, the specific antibodies are modified onto the photoactive material with a supported nanostructure, created by loading the Pt nanoparticles onto MoS2 nanosheets (Pt/MoS2) to boost photon-to-electricity conversion efficiency. By subsequent binding of the targeted aptamers to the Au polyhedra, which act as a signal amplifier to suppress PEC photocurrent by competing with the Pt/MoS2 for the absorption of excitation light energy, the dual recognition is successfully achieved. The constructed biosensor not only shows satisfactory stability, high sensitivity, and selectivity, but is effective for test of the pseudovirus of SARS-CoV-2. The work provides useful advance for the development of PEC biosensors for sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Recognizing multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria with high accuracy and precision from clinical samples has long been a difficulty. For reliable detection of MDR bacteria, we investigated a programmable molecular circuit called the Background-free isothermal circuital kit (BRICK). The BRICK method provides a near-zero background signal by integrating four inherent modules equivalent to the conversion, amplification, separation, and reading modules. Interference elimination is largely owing to a molybdenum disulfide nanosheets-based fluorescence nanoswitch and non-specific suppression mediated by molecular inhibitors. In less than 70 min, an accurate distinction of various MDR bacteria was achieved without bacterial lysis. The BRICK technique detected 6.73 CFU/mL of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in clinical samples in a proof-of-concept trial. By simply reprogramming the sequence panel, such a high signal-to-noise characteristic has been proven in the four other superbugs. The proposed BRICK method can provide a universal platform for infection surveillance and environmental management thanks to its superior programmability.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor based on few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets was fabricated for the highly sensitive detection of tumor marker circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in this paper. The MoS2 nanosheets with few layers were prepared by the shear stripping. Compared with the mechanical stripping method and the lithium ion intercalation method, this method is simpler to operate, and the prepared MoS2 nanosheets had good electrochemical activity. The biosensing platform was fabricated based on the discriminative affinity of MoS2 nanosheets towards single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Methylene blue (MB) was used as the signal molecule. The results showed that the detection of ctDNA by this sensor showed an excellent linear relationship in the concentration range of 1.0 × 10-7 M to 1.0 × 10-16 M, and the detection limit was 2.5 × 10-18 M. In addition, this sensor exhibited outstanding stability and specificity. This strategy provides an alternative approach for ctDNA detection and an effective sensing strategy for future in vitro cancer diagnosis by label-free detection.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors have potential applications for agriculture, food safety, environmental monitoring, sports medicine, biomedicine, and other fields. One of the primary challenges in this field is the immobilization of biomolecular probes atop a solid substrate material with adequate stability, storage lifetime, and reproducibility. This review summarizes the current state of the art for covalent bonding of biomolecules onto solid substrate materials. Early research focused on the use of Au electrodes, with immobilization of biomolecules through ω-functionalized Au-thiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), but stability is usually inadequate due to the weak Au-S bond strength. Other noble substrates such as C, Pt, and Si have also been studied. While their nobility has the advantage of ensuring biocompatibility, it also has the disadvantage of making them relatively unreactive towards covalent bond formation. With the exception of Sn-doped In2O3 (indium tin oxide, ITO), most metal oxides are not electrically conductive enough for use within electrochemical biosensors. Recent research has focused on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoS2 and on electrically conductive polymers such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene. In addition, the deposition of functionalized thin films from aryldiazonium cations has attracted significant attention as a substrate-independent method for biofunctionalization.

Abstract
Flexible and ultrasensitive biosensing platforms capable of detecting a large number of trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) are crucial for future technology development needed to combat a variety of genetic disorders. For example, trinucleotide CGG repeat expansions in the FMR1 gene can cause Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Current state-of-the-art technologies to detect repeat sequences are expensive, while relying on complicated procedures, and prone to false negatives. We reasoned that two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) surfaces may be useful for label-free electrochemical detection of CGG repeats due to its high affinity for guanine bases. Here, we developed a low-cost and sensitive wax-on-plastic electrochemical sensor using 2D MoS2 ink for the detection of CGG repeats. The ink containing few-layered MoS2 nanosheets was prepared and characterized using optical, electrical, electrochemical, and electron microscopic methods. The devices were characterized by electron microscopic and electrochemical methods. Repetitive CGG DNA was adsorbed on a MoS2 surface in a high cationic strength environment and the electrocatalytic current of the CGG/MoS2 interface was recorded using a soluble Fe(CN)6-3/-4 redox probe by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The dynamic range for the detection of prehybridized duplexes ranged from 1 aM to 100 nM with a 3.0 aM limit of detection. A detection range of 100 fM to 1 nM was recorded for surface hybridization events. Using this method, we were able to observe selectivity of MoS2 for CGG repeats and distinguish nonpathogenic from disease-associated repeat lengths. The detection of CGG repeat sequences on inkjet printable 2D MoS2 surfaces is a forward step toward developing chip-based rapid and label-free sensors for the detection of repeat expansion sequences.

Abstract
Mo-based layered nanostructures are two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with outstanding characteristics and very promising electrochemical properties. These materials comprise nanosheets of molybdenum (Mo) oxides (MoO2 and MoO3), dichalcogenides (MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2), and carbides (MoC2), which find application in electrochemical devices for energy storage and generation. In this feature paper, we present the most relevant characteristics of such Mo-based layered compounds and their use as electrode materials in electrochemical sensors. In particular, the aspects related to synthesis methods, structural and electronic characteristics, and the relevant electrochemical properties, together with applications in the specific field of electrochemical biomolecule sensing, are reviewed. The main features, along with the current status, trends, and potentialities for biomedical sensing applications, are described, highlighting the peculiar properties of Mo-based 2D-nanomaterials in this field.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescent material, boronic acid-functionalized molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (B-MoS2 QDs) produced by an amidation reaction between 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid and previously prepared molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs), was prepared to fabricate a rapid and sensitive platform for the quantitative analysis of dopamine. This material exhibits strong fluorescence, excellent salt tolerance and light fastness. In particular, the quantum yield of this material is about 21.1 times that of its fundamental material, MoS2 QDs. Notably, owing to an interesting synergistic effect between the inner filter effect and the aggregation quenching effect, this material was successfully applied for the determination of dopamine in the linear range 0.25-35 μmol L-1 with the detection limit of 0.087 μmol L-1; moreover, B-MoS2 QDs manifested better selectivity in the presence of multiple interferences due to their inert surface. As expected, this proposed material shows satisfactory performance in human serum; thus, the present study exploits a new avenue for the application of functionalized MoS2 QDs in fluorescence sensing.
