Label-free and ultrasensitive detection of environmental lead ions based on spatially localized DNA nanomachines driven by hyperbranched hybridization chain reaction. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:135115. [PMID: 38976962 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
A label-free fluorescent sensing strategy for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of Pb2+ was developed by integrating Pb2+ DNAzyme-specific cleavage activity and a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN)-enhanced hyperbranched hybridization chain reaction (hHCR). This strategy provides accelerated reaction rates because of the highly effective collision probability and enriched local concentrations from the spatial confinement of the TDN, thus showing a higher detection sensitivity and a more rapid detection process. Moreover, a hairpin probe based on a G-triplex instead of a G-quadruplex or chemical modification makes hybridization chain reaction more controlled and flexible, greatly improving signal amplification capacities and eliminating labeled DNA probes. The enhanced reaction rates and improved signal amplification efficiency endowed the biosensors with high sensitivity and a rapid response. The label-free detection of Pb2+ based on G-triplex combined with thioflavin T can be achieved with a detection limit as low as 1.8 pM in 25 min. The proposed Pb2+-sensing platform was also demonstrated to be applicable for Pb2+ detection in tap water, river water, shrimp, rice, and soil samples, thus showing great potential for food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) exhibit broad fluorescent spectra from visible to near-infrared regions and good enzyme-mimicking catalytic activities. Combined with excellent stability and exceptional biocompatibility, the Au NCs have been widely exploited in biomedicine such as biocatalysis and bioimaging. Especially, the long fluorescence lifetime and large Stokes shift attribute Au NCs to good probes for fluorescence sensing and biological detection. In this review, we systematically summarized the molecular structure and fluorescence properties of Au NCs and highlighted the advances in fluorescence sensing and biological detection. The Au NCs display high sensitivity and specificity in detecting iodine ions, metal ions, and reactive oxygen species, as well as certain diseases based on the fluorescence activities of Au NCs. We also proposed several points to improve the practicability and accelerate the clinical translation of the Au NCs.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as a bone marrow stem cell clonal disease appears from the proliferation of granulocyte cells at all stages of maturation. If the disease diagnosis is not early, patients enter the blastic phase, which decreases their survival rate to 3-6 months. It implies the significance of the early diagnosis of CML. In this study, we introduce a simple array for diagnosis of the K562 cells as the human immortalized myeloid leukemia cell line. The developed aptamer-based biosensor (aptasensor) includes the T2-KK1B10 aptamer strands attached to the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) with the cavities accumulated from rhodamine B and coated by both Ca2+ ions and ATP aptamer. The aptamer-based nanoconjugate can enter the K562 cells through the complexation of the T2-KK1B10 aptamer with the cells. The ATP in the cells and low level of intracellular Ca2+ ion release both the aptamer and ion from the surface of the MSNPs. The liberated rhodamine B results in an increased fluorescence intensity. Fluorescence microscope imaging and flow cytometry histogram display a strong fluorescence emission for the K562 cells (CML cells) exposed to the nanoconjugate in comparison with that for MCF-7 cells. The aptasensor possesses good performance in the blood samples with the advantages of high sensitivity, rapidness, and cost-effectiveness, making it an appropriate tool for the diagnosis of CML disease.

Abstract
ssDNA aptamers have been increasingly used to detect heavy metal ions as recognition elements due to their high affinity and specificity. However, the specific recognition and binding mechanisms between aptamers and most heavy metals were still unclear, which limits the development of aptamer-based detection methods. In this work, the interaction mechanisms of CD-2-1 aptamers with Cd2+ in aqueous solutions were investigated using molecular dynamic simulations. The most stable complex was found where Cd2+ binding at aptamer's stem-loop junction and preferred at the phosphate backbone or bases. Noteworthily, two binding modes of Cd2+ combining aptamer in aqueous solution were discovered: direct and indirect. In the former mode, Cd2+ directly coordinated O atoms of bases. For the latter, Cd2+ connected to bases with coordinated water molecules as bridges. Electrostatic interaction was found to be the main driving force, and differences of residues role between two binding modes were elucidated. Buffer molecules in aqueous solutions can stabilize aptamer-Cd2+ complex by hydrogen bonds. This study revealed the specific interaction mechanisms of aptamer with Cd2+ at an atomic level, which provided theoretical references for aptamer-based Cd2+ detection methods establishment as well as an efficient technical route of screening potential aptamers for heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Easy-to-use, reliable, and real-time methods for detecting heavy metal ion contamination are urgently required, which is a primary concern for water pollution control and human health. However, present methods for this aim are still unable to achieve simultaneous multianalysis for complex real sample detection. Herein, an intellectualized vision-based single-nanoparticle Raman imaging strategy combined with ion-responsive functional nucleic acids (FNAs) was proposed to address these issues. We reported a correspondence between the concentration of the analytes and the density of particles (DOP) of specifically captured nanoparticles to achieve sensitive detection and simultaneous multianalysis of heavy metal ions. The specific detection of Pb2+ (Hg2+) was obtained with a detection linear range from 100 pM to 100 nM (from 500 fM to 100 nM) and limit of detections low to 1 pM (100 fM), with the advantages of good specificity, excellent homogeneity, and reproducibility. Furthermore, the differentiation of different heavy metal ions (Pb2+/Hg2+) was achieved, i.e., the simultaneous multianalysis, based on Raman imaging of the single particle and intelligent machine vision method. Finally, the Raman imaging assay was utilized for real sample analysis, and it provided a powerful and reliable tool for detecting trace Pb2+/Hg2+ in real water samples and facilitated the portable on-site monitoring of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
In this study, a label-free aptasensor utilizing colorimetric properties was developed to detect Pb2+ with high sensitivity. The approach involved applying modified aptamer which enhanced the oxidase-mimicking activity of MnO2 nanoflowers. This innovative method provides an efficient means for monitoring Pb2+ ions without requiring any labeling techniques. The fundamental principle of this aptasensor is based on the adsorption of a modified aptamer onto MnO2 nanoflowers' surface, which in turn increases their affinity for chromogenic substrates and enhances their catalytic activity. The proposed aptasensor exploits the high sensitivity due to the extension of the aptamer sequence length by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). Under optimum experimental conditions, the developed colorimetric aptasensor indicated a linear detection range from 4 to 80 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 nM. Moreover, the aptasensor successfully monitored Pb2+ in the drinking water, milk and human serum samples. Henceforth, the colorimetric aptasensor exhibited in this study possesses several benefits such as uncomplicated operation, cost-effectiveness, label-free detection and remarkable sensitivity. Thus rendering it a suitable option for analyzing intricate samples.

Abstract
Due to the detrimental effects of cocaine on the human body such as organ damage, paranoia, immunodeficiency, cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, and stress, it is highly required to develop sensing approaches for its rapid and facile determination. Based on the signal enhancement capability of the UiO-66/AuNPs nanocomposite and acting as a capture agent, we designed a cost-effective fluorescent aptasensor for cocaine detection. The cocaine presence in the sample would cause a considerable escalation in the quenching of the fluorescence signal. The aptasensor achieved the linear response range over 0.5 μM-20 μM with a low detection limit of 0.178 μM. The selectivity of the designed aptasensing assay was successfully confirmed by examining several analgesic drugs. The aptasensor was employed for cocaine determination in human serum as the real samples. This method has a substantial benefit the for development of a low-cost and facile tool in medicine and forensic science.

Abstract
Biosensors capable of onsite and continuous detection of environmental and food pollutants and biomarkers are highly desired, but only a few sensing platforms meet the "2-SAR" requirements (sensitivity, specificity, affordability, automation, rapidity, and reusability). A fiber optic evanescent wave (FOEW) sensor is an attractive type of portable device that has the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, good reusability, and long-term stability. By utilizing functional nucleic acids (FNAs) such as aptamers, DNAzymes, and rational designed nucleic acid probes as specific recognition ligands, the FOEW sensor has been demonstrated to be a general sensing platform for the onsite and continuous detection of various targets ranging from small molecules and heavy metal ions to proteins, nucleic acids, and pathogens. In this review, we cover the progress of the fluorescent FNA-based FOEW biosensor since its first report in 1995. We focus on the chemical modification of the optical fiber and the sensing mechanisms for the five above-mentioned types of targets. The challenges and prospects on the isolation of high-quality aptamers, reagent-free detection, long-term stability under application conditions, and high throughput are also included in this review to highlight the future trends for the development of FOEW biosensors capable of onsite and continuous detection.

[PMID: 36688097 PMCID: PMC9847464 DOI: 10.1007/s10404-022-02622-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/31/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Aptasensors have attracted considerable interest and widespread application in point-of-care testing worldwide. One of the biggest challenges of a point-of-care (POC) is the reduction of treatment time compared to central facilities that diagnose and monitor the applications. Over the past decades, biosensors have been introduced that offer more reliable, cost-effective, and accurate detection methods. Aptamer-based biosensors have unprecedented advantages over biosensors that use natural receptors such as antibodies and enzymes. In the current epidemic, point-of-care testing (POCT) is advantageous because it is easy to use, more accessible, faster to detect, and has high accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the burden of testing on healthcare systems. POCT is beneficial for daily epidemic control as well as early detection and treatment. This review provides detailed information on the various design strategies and virus detection methods using aptamer-based sensors. In addition, we discussed the importance of different aptamers and their detection principles. Aptasensors with higher sensitivity, specificity, and flexibility are critically discussed to establish simple, cost-effective, and rapid detection methods. POC-based aptasensors' diagnostic applications are classified and summarised based on infectious and infectious diseases. Finally, the design factors to be considered are outlined to meet the future of rapid POC-based sensors.

Abstract
A precise nano-scale biosensor was developed here to detect Hg2+ in aqueous media. Nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres (NCS) created from the pyrolysis of melamine-formaldehyde resin were characterized by FESEM, XRD, Raman spectra, EDS, PL, UV-vis spectra, and N2 adsorption-desorption, and were used as a highly selective and sensitive probe for detecting Hg2+ in aqueous media. The sensitivity of NCS to Hg2+ was evaluated by photoluminescence intensity fluctuations under fluorescence emission in the vicinity of 390 nm with a λexc of 350 nm. The fluorescence intensity of the NCS probe weakened in the presence of Hg2+ owing to the effective fluorescence quenching by that, which is not corresponding to the special covalent liking between the ligand and the metal. The effects of the fluorescence nanoprobe concentration, pH, and sensing time were monitored to acquire the best conditions for determining Hg2+. Surprisingly, NCS revealed excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Hg2+ in the samples containing Co2+, Na+, K+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Al3+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Li+, Cs+, and Ba2+. The fluorescence response was linearly proportional to Hg2+ concentration in 0.013-0.046 µM with a limit of detection of 9.58 nM. The in vitro and in vivo toxicological analyses confirmed the completely safe and biocompatible features of NCS, which provides promise for use for water, fruit, vegetable, and/or other forms of natural-connected materials exposed to Hg2+, with no significant toxicity noticed toward different cells/organs/tissues.

Abstract
Chemical and biological contaminants are of primary concern in ensuring seafood safety. Rapid detection of such contaminants is needed to keep us safe from being affected. For over three decades, immunoassay (IA) technology has been used for the detection of contaminants in seafood products. However, limitations inherent to antibody generation against small molecular targets that cannot elicit an immune response, along with the instability of antibodies under ambient conditions greatly limit their wider application for developing robust detection and monitoring tools, particularly for non-biomedical applications. As an alternative, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as a powerful yet robust analytical tool for the detection of a wide range of analytes. Due to the high specificity of aptamers in recognising targets ranging from small molecules to large proteins and even whole cells, these have been suggested to be viable molecular recognition elements (MREs) in the development of new diagnostic and biosensing tools for detecting a wide range of contaminants including heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, pathogens and biotoxins. In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the field of aptasensors for detection of contaminants in seafood products with a view of effectively managing their potential human health hazards. A critical outlook is also provided to facilitate translation of aptasensors from academic laboratories to the mainstream seafood industry and consumer applications.

Abstract
Phycotoxins or marine toxins cause massive harm to humans, livestock, and pets. Current strategies based on ordinary methods are long time-wise and require expert operators, and are not reliable for on-site and real-time use. Therefore, it is urgent to exploit new detection methods for marine toxins with high sensitivity and specificity, low detection limits, convenience, and high efficiency. Conversely, biosensors can distinguish poisons with less response time and higher selectivity than the common strategies. Aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) are potent for environmental monitoring, especially for on-site and real-time determination of marine toxins and freshwater microorganisms, and with a degree of superiority over other biosensors, making them worth considering. This article reviews the designed aptasensors based on the different strategies for detecting the various phycotoxins.

Development of portable whole-cell biosensing platform with lyophilized bacteria and its application for rapid on-site detection of heavy metal toxicity without pre-resuscitation.

Abstract
The high toxicity of heavy metals necessitates monitoring technology that allows rapid adaptation and deployment. Microbial whole-cell biosensors have become a priority because of their excellent performance. However, traditional methods have several limitations, including long assay time, poor portability, and the lack of ready-to-use on-site devices. In this study, a novel portable whole-cell biosensing platform was developed by integrating a simple handheld fiber-optic dissolve oxygen sensor and bacterial culture or lyophilized bacteria. Based on the oxygen consumption inhibition mechanism, this platform achieved rapid acute toxicity measurement of heavy metal ions through inhibit Escherichia coli (E.coli) respiration. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection and IC50 of Hg2+ using E. coli culture were 5.62 μM and 11.64 μM, respectively. Interestingly, the lyophilized E. coli could be directly applied for Hg2+ toxicity detection without pre-resuscitation, where an IC50 of 31.28 μM was obtained, and the whole detection process was only 18 min. The lyophilized E. coli could be stored long-term at -80 °C without significant loss of activity and detection performance. The portable whole-cell biosensing platform demonstrated a high potential for rapid on-demand toxicity detection in real water samples. The developed strategy is not only fast, portable, and easily storable, but also highly suited for on-site ready-to-use, and high-frequency toxicity detection of heavy metal ions in the field.

Abstract
Tea is an important economic crop and health beverage in China. The presence of heavy metal ions in tea poses a significant threat to public health. Here, we prepared an aptamer biosensor labelled with AIEgen nanospheres to detect Pb2+ in tea. The dsDNA modified by amino and phosphoric acid was combined with the carboxylated AIEgen NPs to form AIEgen-DNA with a fluorescence group, which was then fixed to the surface of Zr-MOFs to quench the fluorescence of AIEgen NPs. At the same time, PEG was added to remove nonspecific adsorption. Then Pb2+ was added to cut the DNA sequences containing the cutting sites, and AIEgen NPs and part of the DNA sequences were separated from the Zr-MOFs surface to recover the fluorescence. By comparing the fluorescence changes before and after adding Pb2+, the detection limit of Pb2+ can reach 1.70 nM. The fluorescence sensor was applied to detect Pb2+ in tea, and the detection results showed that the tea purchased on the market did not contain the concentration of Pb2+ within the detection range. This study provides new insights into monitoring food and agriculture-related pollutants based on fluorescent biosensors.

Abstract
The release of chemicals and microorganisms from various sources, such as industry, agriculture, animal farming, wastewater treatment plants, and flooding, into water systems have caused water pollution in several parts of our world, endangering aquatic ecosystems and individual health. World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced strict standards for the maximum concentration limits for nutrients and chemicals in drinking water, surface water, and groundwater. It is crucial to have rapid, sensitive, and reliable analytical detection systems to monitor the pollution level regularly and meet the standard limit. Electrochemical biosensors are advantageous analytical devices or tools that convert a bio-signal by biorecognition elements into a significant electrical response. Thanks to the micro/nano fabrication techniques, electrochemical biosensors for sensitive, continuous, and real-time detection have attracted increasing attention among researchers and users worldwide. These devices take advantage of easy operation, portability, and rapid response. They can also be miniaturized, have a long-life span and a quick response time, and possess high sensitivity and selectivity and can be considered as portable biosensing assays. They are of special importance due to their great advantages such as affordability, simplicity, portability, and ability to detect at on-site. This review paper is concerned with the basic concepts of electrochemical biosensors and their applications in various water quality monitoring, such as inorganic chemicals, nutrients, microorganisms' pollution, and organic pollutants, especially for developing real-time/online detection systems. The basic concepts of electrochemical biosensors, different surface modification techniques, bio-recognition elements (BRE), detection methods, and specific real-time water quality monitoring applications are reviewed thoroughly in this article.

Abstract
Mercury contamination is one of the most severe issues in society due to its threats to public health and the ecological system. However, traditional methods for mercury ion detection are still limited by their time-consuming procedures, requirement of expensive instruments, and low selectivity. In recent decades, tremendous progress has been made in the development of functional nucleic acid-based, especially DNAzyme sensors for mercury (Ⅱ) (Hg2+) determination, including RNA-cleaving DNAzymes and G-quadruplex-based DNAzymes in particular. Researchers have heavily studied the construction of Hg2+ sensors, mainly originating from in vitro selection-derived DNAzymes, by incorporating T-Hg2+-T recognition moieties in existing DNAzyme scaffolds, and interfacing Hg2+-sensitive sequences with nanomaterials. In the last case, the employment of materials (as quenchers, signal transducers and DNA immobilizers) enriches the application scenarios of current Hg2+-DNAzymes, due to a combination of their functions. We summarize a broad range of sensing approaches, including optical, electrochemical, and other sensing methods, and compare their features. This review elaborates on the rational design strategies for engineering DNAzymes to selectively sense Hg2+, critically discusses their properties in different application scenarios, and summarizes recent advances in this field. Additionally, current progress, challenges and future perspectives are also discussed. This minireview provides deeper insights into the chemistry of these functional nucleic acids when working with Hg2+, explains the design ideas of DNAzyme-sensors in each platform, and reveals potential opportunities in developing more advanced DNAzyme sensors for the highly selective and sensitive recognition of Hg2+. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Mercury is one of the most toxic metallic contaminants due to its high toxicity, non-biodegradability, and serious human health risks when accumulated in the body. In the recent decade, intensive studies have focused on exploring mercury sensors by combining DNAzymes with various sensing methods, paving a promising avenue to gain ultra-high sensitivity and selectivity. However, so far, no review has introduced the recent advances on DNAzyme-based sensors for mercury detection in a critical way. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the studies on DNAzyme-based sensors for mercury detection using various sensing techniques including optical, electrochemical and other sensing methods.

Abstract
In this research, a facile fluorescence aptasensor was designed for the ultrasensitive determination of ethanolamine (ETA) as an aliphatic amino alcohol molecule with harmful side effects for human health. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as an efficient metal-organic framework was applied to quench the fluorescence emission of the FAM-labeled ETA aptamer. The presence of ETA could recover the fluorescence response under the optimal experimental conditions. ETA could be sensitively detected by the designed aptasensor in the linear concentration range of 0.1 nM-20 µM with the detection limit of 14.38 pM. The designed aptasensor was utilized to determine ETA in milk and serum samples with the detection limits of 17.86 and 15.21 pM, respectively. The aptasensor with the remarkable features of high sensitivity, simplicity and feasibility holds the supreme potential to construct a low-cost portable sensing method for food safety control, human diagnostics, and environmental monitoring with coupling to the microfluidic paper-based devices.

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

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) as common late-life dementia is pathologically associated with the irreversible and progressive disorder, misfolding, deposition, and accumulation of the brain proteins. Especially, the formation of fibrous amyloid plaques by aggregation of amyloid-β peptides is the pathological cause of this neurologic disorder disease. Besides, tau protein isoforms destabilize the microtubule filaments through post-translational modifications and induce nerve cells' death. Amyloid-β peptides and tau proteins are considered as the critical symptom and reliable molecular biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AD. AD is characterized by impaired thinking proficiencies, cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral disability. Since there is no efficacious therapy for AD at present, the development of precise sensing tools for the early diagnosis of this disease is essential and crucial. Aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have acquired utmost importance in the field of AD healthcare, due to excellent sensitivity and specificity, ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness, portability, and rapid assay time. Here, we highlight the recent developments and novel perspectives in the field of aptasensor design to quantitatively monitor the AD biomarkers. Finally, some results are represented to achieve a promising viewpoint for introducing the novel aptasensor test kits in the future.

Abstract
Herein, a label-free aptasensor was designed through forming a double-stranded DNA skeleton on the glass substrate for ultrasensitive quantification of ochratoxin A (OTA) as a case study. The function fundament of the dual-responsive aptasensor was the perturbation of the vertical alignment of the liquid crystals (LCs) and intercalation of the SYBR Green I (SGI) dye molecules between the base pairs of the double-stranded DNA structure. The presence of OTA decomposed the double-stranded structure of DNA by releasing the OTA-specific aptamer from the sensing platform that induced an apparent alteration of the optical and fluorescent responses. The aptasensor specifically detected the ultra-low levels of OTA as 47.0E-9 pM (0.047 aM) and 34.0E-3 pM (34 fM) based on the polarized and fluorescent responses, respectively. The aptasensor monitored OTA in the coffee and grape drink samples. The aptasensor provides promising insight for manufacturing real-time, cost-effective, and portable sensing devices for food control usage.

Abstract
In view of ever-increasing environmental pollution, there is an immediate requirement to promote cheap, multiplexed, sensitive and fast biosensing systems to monitor these pollutants or contaminants. Aptamers have shown numerous advantages in being used as molecular recognition elements in various biosensing devices. Graphene and graphene-based materials/nanohybrids combined with several detection methods exhibit great potential owing to their exceptional optical, electronic and physicochemical properties which can be employed extensively to monitor environmental contaminants. For environmental monitoring applications, aptamers have been successfully combined with graphene-based nanohybrids to produce a wide range of innovative methodologies. Aptamers are immobilized at the surface of graphene based nanohybrids via covalent and non-covalent strategies. This review highlights the design, working principle, recent developmental advances and applications of graphene based nanohybrid aptasensors (GNH-Apts) (since January 2014 to September 2021) with a special emphasis on two major signal-transduction methods, i.e., optical and electrochemical for the monitoring of pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, antibiotics, and organic compounds from different environmental samples (e.g., water, soil and related). Lastly, the challenges confronted by scientists and the possible future outlook have also been addressed. It is expected that high-performance graphene-based nanohybrid aptasensors would find broad applications in the field of environmental monitoring.

Abstract
In the past few decades, biosensors have been gradually developed for the rapid detection and monitoring of human diseases. Recently, functional nucleic-acid (FNA) biosensors have attracted the attention of scholars due to a series of advantages such as high stability and strong specificity, as well as the significant progress they have made in terms of biomedical applications. However, there are few reports that systematically and comprehensively summarize its working principles, classification and application. In this review, we primarily introduce functional modes of biosensors that combine functional nucleic acids with different signal output modes. In addition, the mechanisms of action of several media of the FNA biosensor are introduced. Finally, the practical application and existing problems of FNA sensors are discussed, and the future development directions and application prospects of functional nucleic acid sensors are prospected.

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

Abstract
Lead ions (Pb2+) are destructive to the natural environment and public health, so the efficient detection of Pb2+ is particularly important. Although the instrumental analysis methods have high accuracy, they require high cost and precise operation, which limits their wide application. Therefore, many strategies have been extensively studied for detecting Pb2+ by biosensors. Functional nucleic acids have become an efficient tool in this field. This review focuses on the recent biosensors of detecting Pb2+ based on functional nucleic acids from 2010 to 2020, in which DNAzyme, DNA G-quadruplex and aptamer will be introduced. The biosensors are divided into three categories that colorimetric, fluorometric and electrochemical biosensors according to the different reported signals. The action mechanism and detection effect of each biosensor are explained. Finally, the present situation of nucleic acid biosensor for the detection of Pb2+ is summarized and the future research direction is prospected.

Abstract
Sensors and biosensors play a key role as an analytical tool for the rapid, reliable, and early diagnosis of human diseases. Such devices can also be employed for monitoring environmental pollutants in air and water in an expedited way. More recently, nanomaterials have been proposed as an alternative in sensor fabrication to achieve gains in performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and portability. In this direction, the use of cellulose nanomaterials (CNM), such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and bacterial cellulose (BC), has experienced rapid growth in the fabrication of varied types of sensors. The advantageous properties are related to the supramolecular structures that form the distinct CNM, their biocompatibility, and highly reactive functional groups that enable surface functionalization. The CNM can be applied as hydrogels and xerogels, thin films, nanopapers and other structures interesting for sensor design. Besides, CNM can be combined with other materials (e.g., nanoparticles, enzymes, carbon nanomaterials, etc.) and varied substrates to advanced sensors and biosensors fabrication. This review explores recent advances on CNM and composites applied in the fabrication of optical, electrical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric sensors for detecting analytes ranging from environmental pollutants to human physiological parameters. Emphasis is given to how cellulose nanomaterials can contribute to enhance the performance of varied sensors as well as expand novel sensing applications, which could not be easily achieved using standard materials. Finally, challenges and future trends on the use of cellulose-based materials in sensors and biosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
A novel amine-functionalized silica quantum dots (SiQDs) fluorescent nanoprobe was developed for sensing of lead concentration in water, plasma and cell lysate. In addition, the developed probe was utilized for bioimaging of intracellular lead ions in HT 29 cancer cells. The amine-functionalized nanoprobe exhibited fluorescence emission at 445 nm under excitation at 355 nm. Upon addition of lead ions, the fluorescence of SiQDs linearly enhanced from 50 ng/mL to 5 µg/mL and 50 ng/mL to 25 µg/mL for plasma and standard media, respectively. The synthesis and fabrication of this probe are simple and serves high sensitivity with a limit of detection down to around 20 ng/mL. In the presence of various molecular and ion interfering, reliable results are obtained, confirming the specificity of the nanoprobe for lead ion detection. Meanwhile, amine-functionalized SiQD-based nanoprobe exhibits excellent cell membrane-permeability and biocompatibility. Thus, this probe is utilized for lead tracing in HT 29 cancer live cells. Fluorescent microscopy results confirmed the attachment of the produced nanomaterials to the HT 29 cancer cells.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Overexpressed or underexpressed as well as mutated nucleic acids have been implicated in many diseases. Therefore, nucleic acid tests (NATs) are extremely important. Inspired by intracellular DNA replication and RNA transcription, in vitro NATs have been extensively developed to improve the detection specificity, sensitivity, and simplicity. The principles of NATs can be in general classified into three categories: nucleic acid hybridization, thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification, and signal amplification. Driven by pressing needs in clinical diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, NATs have evolved to be a rapidly advancing field. During the past ten years, an explosive increase of research interest in both basic research and clinical translation has been witnessed. In this review, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the progress to analyze nucleic acids, use nucleic acids as recognition probes, construct detection devices based on nucleic acids, and utilize nucleic acids in clinical diagnosis and other important fields. We also discuss the new frontiers in the field and the challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
In this research, new bimetal nanoclusters (DAMP-AuAg BNCs) with 4,6-diamino-2-mercaptopyrimidine (DAMP) as a reducing agent and stabilizer ligand were exploited. The nanoclusters displayed excellent fluorescent properties, very small size, good stability, and water solubility. It was found that the as-prepared DAMP-AuAg BNCs exhibited strong fluorescent emission at 640 nm under an excitation wavelength of 473 nm with a large Stokes shift of 167 nm, and the red fluorescence could be readily quenched with aqueous Hg2+. The DAMP-AuAg BNCs showed good specificity and sensitivity toward Hg2+ in aqueous solution, and the fluorescence analysis of Hg2+ showed a wide linear range from 0.85 μM to 246 μM and a detection limit of 20 nM. It is demonstrated that strong Hg2+-Au+ interactions led to the aggregation of nanoclusters, which caused the quenching of the fluorescence, and the affinity of Hg2+ for nitrogen should also be considered. Due to the relevant good performance of DAMP-AuAg BNCs, they were applied to the fluorescence analysis of Hg2+ in real water samples and were found to be a potential fluorescent sensor for aqueous mercury ions.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) as the most dangerous mycotoxin is produced by Aspergillus Ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum. OTA can be found in beverages and foodstuffs that induces the teratogenic, nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, and immunosuppressive effects on humans. Hence, developing highly sensitive methods for its detection is of great importance. Herein, a novel aptasensor was designed for the label-free monitoring of the ultra-low OTA levels by a combination of the superiority of aptamers and long-range orientational order of liquid crystals (LCs). The aptasensing strategy was based on the conformational switch of the immobilized π-shaped DNA structure on the glass substrate in presence of the target. A shift in the orientation of LCs from random to homeotropic state led to the apparent alteration of the optical appearance of the aptasensor platform from bright to dark. The LC-based aptasensor especially detects OTA at the ultra-trace level as low as 0.63 aM with comparable selectivity. The aptasensor could detect OTA successfully in the grape juice, coffee, and human serum samples. The LC-based aptasensor paves a way for developing portable and real-time sensing probes with high performance for food safety control and clinical application.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has become more and more serious with industrial development and resource exploitation. Because heavy metal ions are difficult to be biodegraded, they accumulate in the human body and cause serious threat to human health. However, the conventional methods to detect heavy metal ions are more strictly to the requirements by detection equipment, sample pretreatment, experimental environment, etc. Aptasensor has the advantages of strong specificity, high sensitivity and simple preparation to detect small molecules, which provides a new direction platform in the detection of heavy metal ions. This paper reviews the selection of aptamers as target for heavy metal ions since the 21th century and aptasensors application for detection of heavy metal ions that were reported in the past five years. Firstly, the selection methods for aptamers with high specificity and high affinity are introduced. Construction methods and research progress on sensor based aptamers as recognition element are also introduced systematically. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities of aptasensors in detecting heavy metal ions are discussed.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) poisoning has been a scourge to the human to pose sighnificant health risks (e.g., organ disorders, carcinogenicity, and genotoxicity) as observed from many different parts of the world, especially in developing countries. The demand for accurate sensors for its detection, especially in environmental media (soil, water, food, etc.) has hence been growing steadily over the years. The potential utility of fluorescent nanosensors as an important analytical tool is recognized due to their astonishing characteristics (e.g., high sensitivity/selectivity, enhanced detection performance, low cost, portability, and rapid on-site detection ability). This review is organized to offer insight into the recent developments in fluorescent nanosensing technology for the detection of lead ions (Pb2+). To this end, different types of nanomaterials explored for such applications have been classified and evaluated with respect to performance, especially in terms of sensitivity. This review will help researchers gain a better knowledge on the status and importance of optical nanosensors so as to remediate the contamination of lead and associated problems. The technical challenges and prospects in the development of nanosensing systems for Pb2+ are also discussed.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AAs) have been extensively applied in medical field and animal husbandry owing to desirable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Excessive AAs residues in the environment can be accumulated in human body through food chain and cause detrimental effect on human health. The establishment of highly specific, simple and sensitive detection methods for monitoring AAs residues is highly in demand. Aptasensor using aptamer as the biological recognition element is the efficient and promising sensing method for detection of AAs. In this review, we have made a summary of specific aptamers sequences against AAs. Subsequently, we provide a systematical and comprehensive overview of modern techniques in aptasensors for detection of AAs according to optical aptasensors as well as electrochemical aptasensors and further summarize their advantages and disadvantages to compare their applications. In addition, we present an overview of practical applications of aptasensors in sample detection of AAs. Moreover, the current challenges and future trends in this field are also included to reveal a promising perspective for developing novel aptasensors for AAs.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop an inexpensive, simple, and highly selective cork-modified carbon paste electrode for the determination of Pb(II) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) and square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). Among the cork–graphite electrodes investigated, the one containing 70% w/w carbon showed the highest sensitivity for the determination of Pb(II) in aqueous solutions. Under SWASV conditions, its linear range and relative standard deviation are equal to 1–25 µM and 1.4%, respectively; the limit of detection complies with the value recommended by the World Health Organization. To optimize the operating conditions, the selectivity and accuracy of the analysis were further investigated by SWASV in acidic media. Finally, the electrode was successfully applied for the determination of Pb(II) in natural water samples, proving to be a sensitive electrochemical sensor that meets the stringent environmental control requirements.

Abstract
Antioxidants are a group of healthy substances which are useful to human health because of their antihistaminic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory activity and inhibitory effect on the formation and the actions of reactive oxygen species. Generally, they are phenolic complexes present in plant-derived foods. Due to the valuable nutritional role of these mixtures, analysis and determining their amount in food is of particular importance. In recent years, many attempts have been made to supply uncomplicated, rapid, economical and user-friendly analytical approaches for the on-site detection and antioxidant capacity (AOC) determination of food antioxidants. In this regards, sensors and biosensors are regarded as favorable tools for antioxidant analysis because of their special features like high sensitivity, rapid detection time, ease of use, and ease of miniaturization. In this review, current five-year progresses in different types of optical and electrochemical sensors/biosensors for the analysis of antioxidants in foods are discussed and evaluated well. Moreover, advantages, limitations, and the potential for practical applications of each type of sensors/biosensors have been discussed. This review aims to prove how sensors/biosensors represent reliable alternatives to conventional methods for antioxidant analysis.
