Abstract
Aptamers are short oligonucleotides designed to possess high binding affinity towards specific target compounds (ions, molecules, or cells). Due to their function and unique advantages, aptamers are considered viable alternatives to antibodies as biorecognition elements in bioassays and biosensors. On the other hand, paper-based devices (PADs) have emerged as a promising and powerful technology for the fabrication of low-cost analytical tools, mainly intended for on-site and point-of-care applications. The present work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of paper-based aptasensors. The review describes the fabrication methods and working principles of paper-based devices, the properties of aptamers as bioreceptors, the different modes of detection used in conjunction with aptasensing PADs, and representative applications for the detection of ions, small molecules, proteins, and cells. The future challenges and prospects of these devices are also discussed.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) offer a unique possibility for a cost-effective portable and rapid detection of a wide range of small molecules and macromolecules and even microorganisms. In this line, electrochemical detection methods are key techniques for the qualitative analysis of different types of ligands. The electrochemical sensing μPADs have been devised for the rapid, accurate, and quantitative detection of oncomarkers through two-/three-dimensional (2D/3D) approaches. The 2D μPADs were first developed and then transformed into 3D systems via folding and/or twisting of paper. The microfluidic channels and connections were created within the layers of paper. Based on the fabrication methods, 3D μPADs can be classified into origami and stacking devices. Various fabrication methods and materials have been used to create hydrophilic channels in μPADs, among which the wax printing technique is the most common method in fabricating μPADs. In this review, we discuss the fabrication and design strategies of μPADs, elaborate on their detection modes, and highlight their applications in affinity-based electrochemical μPADs methods for the detection of oncomarkers.

A novel detection of MicroRNA based on homogeneous electrochemical sensor with enzyme-assisted signal amplification. Talanta 2023; 256:124263. [PMID: 36681037 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of microRNAs is of great importance in biological researches and cancer diagnosis. Herein, we proposed a novel homogeneous electrochemical sensor to detect microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) using functionalized magnetic nanoparticles combined with enzyme-assisted signal amplification. The biotinylated capture probe (CP) labeled magnetic nanoparticles can capture miRNA-21 and introduce streptavidin-conjugated hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles. In the presence of miRNA-21, hybridization between RNA and DNA results in the formation of RNA/DNA duplexes, and then duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) cleave the duplexes to digest the capture chain and release the miRNA-21 in a loop. Meanwhile, the HAP nanoparticles strip from the magnetic nanoparticles and electrochemical signal by the reaction of HAP with molybdate is changed. The current variation before and after incubation with miRNA-21 is linearly correlated with the miRNA-21 concentration between 1 aM and 1 pM with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.27 aM. Remarkably, the expression of miRNA-21 in human serum and different cell lysate was successfully performed, which fully demonstrates the great practical potentials in biomedical diagnostics and clinical therapeutics.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) are powerful platforms for point-of-need testing since they are inexpensive devices fabricated in different shapes and miniaturized sizes, ensuring better portability. Additionally, the readout and detection systems can be accomplished with portable devices, allying with the features of both systems. These devices have been introduced as promising analytical platforms to meet critical demands involving rapid, reliable, and simple testing. They have been applied to monitor species related to environmental, health, and food issues. Herein, an outline of chronological events involving PADs is first reported. This work also introduces insights into fundamental parameters to engineer new analytical platforms, including the paper type and device operation. The discussions involve the main analytical techniques used as detection systems, such as colorimetry, fluorescence, and electrochemistry. It also showed recent advances involving PADs, especially combining optical and electrochemical detection into a single device. Dual/combined detection systems can overcome individual barriers of the analytical techniques, making possible simultaneous determinations, or enhancing the devices' sensitivity and/or selectivity. In addition, this review reports on distance-based detection, which is also considered a trend in analytical chemistry. Distance-based detection offers instrument-free analyses and avoids user interpretation errors, which are outstanding features for analyses at the point of need, especially for resource-limited regions. Finally, this review provides a critical overview of the practical specifications of the recent analytical platforms involving PADs, demonstrating their challenges. Therefore, this work can be a highly useful reference for new research and innovation.

Abstract
This paper describes the design and construction of dual microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (dual-μPADs) as a lab-on-paper platform involving a "do-it-yourself" fabrication protocol. The device comprises a colorimetric and electrochemical module to obtain a dual-mode signal readout sensing strategy. A 3D pen polymeric resin was used to prepare graphite carbon-based electrodes and hydrophobic barriers on paper substrates. The proposed carbon-based ink was employed to manufacture electrodes on paper based on a stencil-printing approach, which were further characterized by electrochemical and morphological analyses. The analytical performance of the dual-μPADs was simultaneously evaluated for lactate, pH, nitrite, and salivary amylase (sAA) analysis. To demonstrate the proof-of-concept, saliva samples collected from both healthy individuals and those with periodontitis were successfully tested to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed devices. Samples collected from individuals previously diagnosed with periodontitis showed high levels of nitrite and sAA (> 94 μmol L-1 and > 610 U mL-1) in comparison with healthy individuals (≤ 16 μmol L-1 and 545 U mL-1). Moreover, periodontitis saliva resulted in acid solution and almost null lactate levels. Notably, this protocol supplies a simple way to manufacture dual-μPADs, a versatile platform for sensitive detecting of biomarkers in saliva playing a crucial role towards the point-of-care diagnosis of periodontal disease.

Abstract
Since the first commercial biosensor device for blood glucose measurement was introduced in the 1970s, many “biosensor types” have been developed, and this research area remains popular worldwide. In parallel with some global biosensor research reports published in the last decade, including a great deal of literature and industry statistics, it is predicted that biosensor design technologies, including handheld or wearable devices, will be preferred and highly valuable in many areas in the near future. Biosensors using nanoparticles still maintain their very important place in science and technology and are the subject of innovative research projects. Among the nanomaterials, carbon-based ones are considered to be one of the most valuable nanoparticles, especially in the field of electrochemical biosensors. In this context, graphene oxide, which has been used in recent years to increase the electrochemical analysis performance in biosensor designs, has been the subject of this review. In fact, graphene is already foreseen not only for biosensors but also as the nanomaterial of the future in many fields and is therefore drawing research attention. In this review, recent and prominent developments in biosensor technologies using graphene oxide (GO)-based nanomaterials in the field of cancer diagnosis are briefly summarized.

Abstract
In this work, novel dual-mode lab-on-paper devices based on in situ grown WO3/BiVO4 heterojunctions onto cellulose fibers, as signal amplification probes, were successfully fabricated by the integration of photoelectrochemical (PEC)/colorimetric analysis technologies into a paper sensing platform for the ultrasensitive detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Specifically, to achieve an impressive PEC performance of the lab-on-paper device, the WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction was in situ grown onto the surface of cellulose fibers assisted with Au nanoparticle (Au NP) functionalization for enhancing the conductivity of the working zone of the device. With the target concentration increased, more immune conjugates could be captured by the proposed paper photoelectrode, which could lead to a quantitative decrease in the photocurrent intensity, eventually realizing the accurate PEC signal readout. To meet the requirement of end-user application, a colorimetric signal readout system was designed for the lab-on-paper device based on the color reaction of 3,3'5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidized by WO3/BiVO4 nanoflowers in the presence of H2O2. Noticeably, it is the first time that the WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction is in situ grown onto cellulose fibers, which enhances the sensitivity in view of both their PEC activity and catalytic ability. By controlling the conversion process of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity on the lab-on-paper device combined with diverse origami methods, the dual-mode PEC/colorimetric signal output for the ultrasensitive AFP detection was realized. Under optimal conditions, the proposed dual-mode lab-on-paper device could enable the sensitive PEC/colorimetric diagnosis of AFP in the linear range of 0.09-100 ng mL-1 and 5-100 ng mL-1 with the limit of detection of 0.03 and 1.47 ng mL-1, respectively.

Abstract
The development of novel and efficient recognition molecules that can be easily modified by nanomaterials to achieve ultra-sensitive and specific cancer cell analysis is of great significance for its early diagnosis and timely prognosis. Herin, a new nanostructured hybrid based on cell membrane-coated Au cores- ultrathin Pt skins composite nanoparticles (Au@Pt@CM NPs) were developed for in vitro detection and treatment of cancer cells. In this strategy, the Au@Pt NPs acted as the signal transducer, and the cell membrane were used as the cancer-cell recognition tool. The synthesized Au@Pt@CM NPs could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of the hydrogen peroxide and were demonstrated to have excellent peroxidase-like activity. Coated with the source cancer cell membrane, the nanoparticles achieved highly specific self-recognition to the source cell. Therefore, the colorimetric method based on Au@Pt@CM NPs could detect the cancer cells in the linear range from 50 to 100000 cells/mL with a limit of detection of 5 cells/mL, which is much lower than other colorimetric detection methods. Afterwards, the nanoparticles as a mimetic enzyme were used for therapeutics of cancer cells through the ROS-mediated oxidative damage. Due to the change of the redox state in the cells by the Au@Pt@CM NPs, the hybrid can achieve the growth inhibitory effect and the selective killing effect on cancer cells. It can be expected that this novel hybrid membrane coating method will bring new insight into developing targeted nanomaterials for tumor treatment and detection.

Abstract
The oriented immobilization of sensing molecules (e.g., IgGs, receptors, lectins, and DNA aptamers) on sensor chips is particularly important for maximizing the potential of the sensing molecules, thereby enhancing the sensitivity and target-binding capacity of biosensors. We previously developed ∼30 nm bio-nanocapsules (ZZ-BNCs) consisting of the hepatitis B virus envelope L protein fused with the tandem form of protein A-derived IgG Fc-binding Z domain (ZZ-L protein). ZZ-BNC acts successfully as a scaffold, enhancing both the sensitivity and binding capacity of IgG, a Fc-fused receptor, and Fc-fused lectin to antigens, cytokines, and sugar chains through an oriented immobilization on a biosensor surface. To expand the versatility of ZZ-BNC, we modified ZZ-BNC by replacing the ZZ domain with a DNA-binding single-chain lambda Cro (scCro) domain, thereby developing scCro-BNC. The scCro-BNC was synthesized in yeast cells and homogeneously purified as ∼30 nm sized nanoparticles. In a quartz crystal microbalance, an scCro-BNC-coated sensor chip immobilized with thrombin-binding DNA aptamers showed an ∼5.5-fold higher thrombin-binding capacity and ∼6000-fold higher detection sensitivity than a sensor chip directly coated with DNA aptamers. In addition, the number of bound thrombin molecules per molecule of DNA aptamer increased by ∼7.8-fold with an scCro-BNC coating, consistent with the theoretical thrombin-binding capacity. Collectively, scCro-BNC was shown to perform as an ideal scaffold for maximizing the potential of the DNA aptamer by immobilizing it in an oriented manner. Facilitating a highly sensitive detection of various target molecules, these BNC-based scaffolds are expected to improve a wide range of biosensors while minimizing the number of sensing molecules required.

Abstract
Cell separation has become @important in biological and medical applications. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is widely used due to the advantages it offers, such as the lack of a requirement for biological markers and the fact that it involves no damage to cells or particles. This study aimed to report a novel approach combining 3D sidewall electrodes and contraction/expansion (CEA) structures to separate three kinds of particles with different sizes or dielectric properties continuously. The separation was achieved through the interaction between electrophoretic forces and inertia forces. The CEA channel was capable of sorting particles with different sizes due to inertial forces, and also enhanced the nonuniformity of the electric field. The 3D electrodes generated a non-uniform electric field at the same height as the channels, which increased the action range of the DEP force. Finite element simulations using the commercial software, COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4, were performed to determine the flow field distributions, electric field distributions, and particle trajectories. The separation experiments were assessed by separating 4 µm polystyrene (PS) particles from 20 µm PS particles at different flow rates by experiencing positive and negative DEP. Subsequently, the sorting performances of the 4 µm PS particles, 20 µm PS particles, and 4 µm silica particles with different solution conductivities were observed. Both the numerical simulations and the practical particle separation displayed high separating efficiency (separation of 4 µm PS particles, 94.2%; separation of 20 µm PS particles, 92.1%; separation of 4 µm Silica particles, 95.3%). The proposed approach is expected to open a new approach to cell sorting and separating.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) encompasses a collection of complicated chemical entities characterized by individually specific biological reactivities and physicochemical properties. ROS detection is attracting tremendous attention. The reaction-based nanomaterials for ROS "turn-on" sensing represent novel and efficient tools for ROS detection. These nanomaterials have the advantages of high sensitivity, real-time sensing ability, and almost infinite contrast against background. This review focuses on appraising nanotechnologies with the ROS "turn-on" detection mechanism coupled with the ability for broad biological applications. In this review, we highlighted the weaknesses and advantages in prior sensor studies and raised some guidelines for the development of future nanoprobes.

Aptamer Embedded Arch-Cruciform DNA Assemblies on 2-D VS 2 Scaffolds for Sensitive Detection of Breast Cancer Cells. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2021; 11:bios11100378.

Abstract
Arch-cruciform DNA are self-assembled on AuNPs/VS2 scaffold as a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor for michigan cancer foundation-7 (MCF-7) breast cancer cells. In the construction, arch DNA is formed using two single-strand DNA sequences embedded with the aptamer for MCF-7 cells. In the absence of MCF-7 cells, a cruciform DNA labeled with three terminal biotin is bound to the top of arch DNA, which further combines with streptavidin-labeled horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to catalyze the hydroquinone-H2O2 reaction on the electrode surface. The presence of MCF-7 cells can release the cruciform DNA and reduce the amount of immobilized HRP, thus effectively inhibiting enzyme-mediated electrocatalysis. The electrochemical response of the sensor is negatively correlated with the concentration of MCF-7 cells, with a linear range of 10~1 × 105 cells/mL, and a limit of detection as low as 5 cells/mL (S/N = 3). Through two-dimensional materials and enzyme-based dual signal amplification, this biosensor may pave new ways for the highly sensitive detection of tumor cells in real samples.

Abstract
A novel cytosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection and nondestructive release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by combining Au nanoparticles-loaded two-dimensional bimetallic PdMo (2D Au@PdMo) nanozymes and electrochemical reductive desorption. The 2D Au@PdMo nanozymes possessed high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity and were assembled with an aptamer composed of a thiol-modified epithelial specific cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) to strengthen CTCs adhesion. Moreover, the electrode surface was decorated with highly fractal Au nanostructures (HFAuNSs) composites due to the similarity in fractal nanostructure with the CTCs membrane to enhance the CTCs anchoring efficiency and release capability. The captured CTCs could be further efficiently dissociated and nondestructively released from the modified electrodes upon electrochemical reductive desorption. The designed cytosensor showed an excellent analytical performance, with a wide linear range from 2 to 1 × 105 cells mL-1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 2 cells mL-1 (S/N = 3) at the working potential in the range -0.6 to 0.2 V. A satisfactory CTCs release reaching a range of 93.7-97.4% with acceptable RSD from 3.55 to 6.41% and good cell viability was obtained. Thus, the developed cytosensor might provide a potential alternative to perform CTC-based liquid biopsies, with promising applications in early diagnosis of tumors.

Abstract
An effective dual-mode microfluidic paper-based analysis device (μPAD) was proposed via Bi2S3@MoS2 nanoflowers combined with octahedral CeO2 for ultrasensitive miRNA-141 bioassay. To obtain the amplified electrochemical signal, Bi2S3@MoS2 nanoflowers were first in situ grown onto the surface of cellulose fibers to promote the reduction of H2O2. The prism-anchored octahedral CeO2 nanoparticles with a great catalytic function on the reduction of H2O2 were linked up to the functionalized cellulose fibers through the hybridization chain reaction to further enhance the electrochemical signal. By means of the catalysis effect of Bi2S3@MoS2 nanoflowers and octahedral CeO2 nanoparticles, the obtained signal was amplified, thereby achieving ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of the target. With the help of duplex specific nuclease, the octahedral CeO2 could be released from the electrochemical detection area and flow to the color channel through capillary action, which could initiate the oxidation reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the existence of H2O2 to generate a blue visual band, avoiding the error of distinguishing color depth caused by the naked eye and thus improving the accuracy of the visual method. Under the optimal conditions, satisfactory prediction and accurate detection performance were achieved in the range of 10 fM-1 nM and 0.5 fM-1 nM, respectively, by measuring the length of the blue product and the electrochemical signal intensity. The electrochemical/visual detection limits of the proposed μPAD for miRNA-141 were as low as 0.12 and 2.65 fM (S/N = 3). This work provides great potential for the construction of low-cost and high-performance dual-mode biosensors for the detection of biomarkers.

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
Tailored to the increasing demands for sensing technologies, the fabrication of dual-modal sensing technologies through combining two signal transduction channels into one method has been proposed and drawn considerable attention. The integration of two sensing signals not only promotes the analytical efficiency with reduced assumption, but also improves the analytical performances with enlarged detection linear range, enhanced accuracy, and boosted application flexibility. The two top-rated output signals for developing dual-modal sensors are colorimetric and fluorescent signals because of their outstanding merits for point of care applications and real-time sensitive sensing. Given the rapid development of material chemistry and nanotechnology, the recent decade has witnessed great advance in colorimetric/fluorimetric signal based dual-modal sensing technologies. The new sensing strategy leads to a broad avenue for various applications in disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety because of the complementary and synergistic effects of the two output signals. In this state-of-the-art review, we comprehensively summarize different types of colorimetric/fluorimetric dual-modal sensing methods by highlighting representative research in the last 5 years, digging into their sensing methodologies, particularly the working principles of the signal transduction systems. Then, the challenges and future prospects for boosting further development of this research field are discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, a bifunctional tri-site fluorescent probe was designed for the first time not only for visualization and quantitative analysis of sensing H2S in wastewater by coupling paper strip and smartphone (Color recognizer, Xiyi Technology) but also for sensitively monitoring GSH in living cells, which relied on different emission channels and the pH of solutions. The recognition properties of GH towards H2S/GSH were satisfactorily demonstrated through fluorescence, UV-vis, 1H NMR and DFT calculations. More importantly, integrated with the paper strip, portable smartphone-sensing platform with a color recognizer app would accomplish cost-effective and rapid assays for colorimetric water quality testing, which displayed huge application potential in fields of environmental monitoring.

Abstract
This study is focused on identifying novel epithelial markers in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) through the development of a dual sandwich-type electrochemical paper-based immunosensor for Claudin 7 and CD81 determination, as well as its validation in breast cancer (BC) patients. This immunosensor allows for rapid, sensitive, and label-free detection of these two relevant BC biomarkers. Under optimum conditions, the limit of detection for Claudin 7 was 0.4 pg mL-1, with a wide linear range of 2 to 1000 pg mL-1, while for CD81, the limit of detection was 3 pg mL-1, with a wide linear range of 0.01 to 10 ng mL-1. Finally, we validated Claudin 7 and CD81 determination in EVs from 60 BC patients and 20 healthy volunteers, reporting higher diagnostic accuracy than the one observed with classical diagnostic markers. This analysis provides a low-cost, specific, versatile, and user-friendly strategy as a robust and reliable tool for early BC diagnosis.

Abstract
Early and timely diagnosis of cancer plays a decisive role in appropriate treatment and improves clinical outcomes, improving public health. Significant advances in biosensor technologies are leading to the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, making the testing process faster, easier, cost-effective, and suitable for on-site measurements. Moreover, the incorporation of various nanomaterials into the sensing platforms has yielded POC testing (POCT) platforms with enhanced sensitivity, cost-effectiveness and simplified detection schemes. POC cancer diagnostic devices provide promising platforms for cancer biomarker detection as compared to conventional in vitro diagnostics, which are time-consuming and require sophisticated instrumentation, centralized laboratories, and experienced operators. Current innovative approaches in POC technologies, including biosensors, smartphone interfaces, and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices are expected to quickly transform the healthcare landscape. However, only a few cancer POC devices (e.g. lateral flow platforms) have been translated from research laboratories to clinical care, likely due to challenges include sampling procedures, low levels of sensitivity and specificity in clinical samples, system integration and signal readout requirements. In this review, we emphasize recent advances in POC diagnostic devices for cancer biomarker detection and discuss the critical challenges which must be surmounted to facilitate their translation into clinical settings.

Abstract
For in-situ disease markers detection, point-of-care (POC) diagnosis has great advantages in speed and cost compared with traditional techniques. The rapid diagnosis, prognosis, and surveillance of diseases can significantly reduce disease-related mortality and trauma. Therefore, increasing attention has been paid to the POC diagnosis devices due to their excellent diagnosis speed and portability. Over the past ten years, paper-based microfluidic aptasensors have emerged as a class of critical POC diagnosis devices and various aptasensors have been proposed to detect various disease markers. However, most aptasensors need further improvement before they can actually enter the market and be widely used. There is thus an urgent need to sort out the key points of preparing the aptasensors and the direction that needs to be invested in. This review summarizes the representative articles in the development of paper-based microfluidic aptasensors. These works can be divided into paper-based optical aptasensors and paper-based electrochemical aptasensors according to their output signals. Significant focus is applied to these works according to the following three parts: (1) The ingenious design of device structure; (2) Application and synthesis of nanomaterial; (3) The detection principle of the proposed aptasensor. This is a detailed and comprehensive review of paper-based microfluidic aptasensors. The accomplishments and shortcomings of the current aptasensors are outlined, the development direction and the future prospective are given. It is hoped that the research in this review can provide a reference for further development of more advanced, more effective paper-based microfluidic aptasensors for POC disease markers diagnosis.

Magnetic bead-based electrochemical and colorimetric assays of circulating tumor cells with boronic acid derivatives as the recognition elements and signal probes. Talanta 2020; 221:121640.

Abstract
Simple, sensitive and rapid detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is of great importance for early diagnosis and therapy of cancers. Overexpression of sugar units on cell surface is related to the phenotypes of many cancers. Based on the boronate ester interaction, we reported the electrochemical and colorimetric detection of CTCs with high simplicity and sensitivity. Specifically, ferroceneboronic acid (FcBA) can be measured by differential pulse voltammetry and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) can induce the aggregation and color change of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). CTCs captured by the aptamer-modified magnetic beads (Apt-MBs) can sequestrate FcBA or MPBA molecules by the formation of boronate ester bonds, thus leading to the decrease in the electrochemical signal of FcBA or preventing the MPBA-triggered aggregation of AuNPs. Due to the overexpression of sugar groups on the surface of CTCs, the amplification-free methods exhibited high sensitivity and obviated the use of additional antibody or aptamer for the recognition of captured cells. With MCF-7 cancer cell as the model, 50 cells can be readily determined by the electrochemical and colorimetric methods. The proposed strategy is valuable for probing of cell glycosylation and designing of novel sensing devices for detection of sugar-containing biological macromolecules and cells.

Abstract
A direct-readout photoelectrochemical (PEC) lab-on-paper device based on coupled an electricity generating system and paper supercapacitors was established for highly sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Concretely, CdSe quantum dots (QDs) decorated ZnO networks assembled sensing surface provided outstanding photoelectric properties, on which glucose oxidase (GOx) labeled aptamer was subsequently immobilized via the hybridization chain reaction. With analytes present, specific recognition was stimulated by aptamer, resulting in labeled GOx released. Such released GOx could flow to electrochemical cell to conduct electrochemical redox reactions, which could effectively produce electricity that was stored by capacitor I. Sequentially, photoactive material produced an outstanding voltage due to the decrease of steric hindrance on the sensing interface, which was utilized for charging an external capacitor II. The two instantaneous current was acquired along with the discharge of capacitor I and II by digital multimeter (DMM) readout, respectively. The summational current values performed an increment in pace with the addition of target ATP concentration with the dynamic working range from 10 nM to 3 μM and a detection limit of 6.3 nM attained. Significantly, the signal amplified strategy utilizing as-generated electricity from electrochemical redox reactions were isolated from the photoelectrodes, which was beneficial for amplifying the signal response in the PEC matrices and the development of more efficient signal performance.

Abstract
The exceptional nature of WO3-x dots has inspired widespread interest, but it is still a significant challenge to synthesize high-quality WO3-x dots without using unstable reactants, expensive equipment, and complex synthetic processes. Herein, the synthesis of ligand-free WO3-x dots is reported that are highly dispersible and rich in oxygen vacancies by a simple but straightforward exfoliation of bulk WS2 and a mild follow-up chemical conversion. Surprisingly, the WO3-x dots emerged as co-reactants for the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)3 2+ with a comparable ECL efficiency to the well-known Ru(bpy)3 2+ /tripropylamine (TPrA) system. Moreover, compared to TPrA, whose toxicity remains a critical issue of concern, the WO3-x dots were ca. 300-fold less toxic. The potency of WO3-x dots was further explored in the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with the most competitive limit of detection so far.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-anchored BP nanosheets were synthesized through in situ growth of AuNPs onto BP. Due to the strong chelating ability of P or phosphorus oxides with AuNPs, the stability of BP is improved. As proof-of-concept demonstration of the functionalized BP, electrochemical detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) based on BP@AuNPs@aptamer as a probe combined with immunomagnetic separation is reported. The aptamer can specifically bind with CTCs, while the phosphorus oxides including phosphite ion and phosphate ion (PxOy species) on BP and aptamer can react with molybdate to generate an electrochemical current, leading to dual signal amplification. The biosensor is applied to MCF-7 cell detection and displays good analytical performance with a detection limit of 2 cell mL-1. Furthermore, the practicality of this biosensor was validated through sensitive determination of MCF-7 cells in human blood. Therefore, the reported biosensor could be applied to detect other biomarkers, offering an ultrasensitive strategy for clinical diagnostics. Graphical abstract Electrochemical detection of circulating tumor cells based on gold nanoparticle-modified black phosphorus nanosheets is reported.

Abstract
The current international pharmaceutical scenario encompasses several steps in drug production, with complex and extremely long procedures. In the last few decades, scientific research has been trying to offer valid and reliable solutions to replace or support conventional techniques, in order to facilitate drug development procedures. These innovative approaches may have extremely positive effects in the production chain, supplying fast, and cost-effective quality as well as safety tests on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and their excipients. In this context, the exploitation of electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs) is still in its infancy, but is particularly promising in the detection of APIs and excipients in tablets, capsules, suppositories, and injections, as well as for pharmacokinetic bioanalysis in real samples.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Early stage diagnosis and treatment of this cancer are crucial to patients' survival. In addition, it is important to avoid severe side effects during the process of conventional treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy) and increase the patients' quality of life. Over the past decade, nanomaterials of all kinds have shown excellent prospects in different aspects of oncology. Among them, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are unique due to their physical and chemical properties. The functional variability of 2D nanomaterials stems from their large specific surface area as well as the diversity of composition, electronic configurations, interlayer forces, surface functionalities, and charges. In this review, the current status of 2D nanomaterials in breast cancer diagnosis and therapy is reviewed. In this respect, sensing of the tumor biomarkers, imaging, therapy, and theranostics are discussed. The ever-growing 2D nanomaterials are building blocks for the development of a myriad of nanotheranostics. Accordingly, there is the possibility to explore yet novel properties, biological effects, and oncological applications.

Abstract
In healthcare, new diagnostic tools that help in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of diseases rapidly and accurately are in high demand. For in-situ measurement of disease or infection biomarkers, point-of-care devices provide a dramatic speed advantage over conventional techniques, thus aiding clinicians in decision-making. During the last decade, paper-based analytical devices, combining paper substrates and electrochemical detection components, have emerged as important point-of-need diagnostic tools. This review highlights significant works on this topic over the last five years, from 2015 to 2019. The most relevant articles published in 2018 and 2019 are examined in detail, focusing on device fabrication techniques and materials applied to the production of paper fluidic and electrochemical cell architectures as well as on the final device assembly. Two main approaches were identified, that are, on one hand, those ones where the fabrication of the electrochemical cell is done on the paper substrate, where the fluidic structures are also defined, and, on the other hand, the fabrication of those ones where the electrochemical cell and liquid-driving paper component are defined on different substrates and then heterogeneously assembled. The main limitations of the current technologies are outlined and an outlook on the current technology status and future prospects is given.

Abstract
Paper-based sensors offer an affordable yet powerful platform for field and point-of-care (POC) testing due to their self-pumping ability and utility for many different analytical measurements. When combined with electrochemical detection using small and portable electronics, sensitivity and selectivity of the paper devices can be improved over naked eye detection without sacrificing portability. Herein, we review how the field of electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs) has grown since it was introduced a decade ago. We start by reviewing fabrication methods relevant to ePADs with more focus given to the electrode fabrication, which is fundamental for electrochemical sensing.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of lethal cancers among women with its metastasis leading to cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) derived from a primary tumor can be detected in the venous blood of cancer patients. Monitoring CTCs in blood samples has increased exponentially over the past decades and holds great promise in the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Electrochemical cytosensors, classified as a class of electrochemical biosensors for sensitive detection and enumeration of targeted cells with minimally invasive methods, have the advantages of electrochemical biosensors, such as simplicity, low cost, and low limit of detection. Here, we review recent progress in the detection of CTCs from breast cancer with a focus on electrochemical cytosensors. This review describes platforms benefiting from these cytosensors to identify cancerous breast cells. Furthermore, strategies for signal amplification and also generation of reusable electrochemical cytosensors are introduced. In addition, breast cancer markers and biorecognition elements for cell capturing are reviewed.

Abstract
A wide-spectrum-responsive paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on black phosphorus (BP) quantum dots (QDs)-sensitized titanium dioxide (TiO2-BP QDs) for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection was presented herein. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were first coated on paper to form a flexible conductive paper electrode. TiO2 nanoparticles were then in situ synthesized on the CNTs-modified paper working electrode with direct liquid-phase hydrolysis with normal temperature, shirtsleeve operation, and gentle solution. Meanwhile, BP QDs, derived from two-dimensional BP nanosheets, can harvest light from the ultraviolet to near-infrared region, broaden efficient utilization of light, add a new dimension to BP research, and impel the high expectation on the potentials of QDs. To implement an assay protocol, exciton-plasmon interactions between TiO2-BP QDs and gold nanoparticles were introduced into the PEC sensing platform for high sensitivity detection of the PSA antigen. Under the optimal conditions, this proposed method exhibited a linear response ranging from 0.005 to 50 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1 pg/mL. This sensing protocol offered a promising analytical method with favorable properties of high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
A self-powered origami paper-based analytical device (oPAD), being with a pop-up structure as mechanical valve to first realize dual-mode of differential pulse voltammery (DPV)/supercapacitor amplified signal read out systems, was designed for detecting adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) assisted by glucose oxidase (GOx)-triggered reaction. In order to accommodate the alternative step for dual-mode detection, a pop-up structure inspired by pop-up greeting cards was developed, making it possible to change the fluidic path with good registration and repeatability. To realize supercapacitor detection mode, a sandwich structure of a DNA sequence (DNA1), aptamer and a DNA sequence modified with GOx (GOx-DNA2) was formed on detection zone by hybridization reaction. With the addition of ATP, the GOx-DNA2 could be released with the specific binding between ATP and aptamer, and flowed into the reaction zone to catalyze the oxidation of glucose. Due to the difference in concentrations of [Fe(CN)6]3- and [Fe(CN)6]4- caused by the GOx-triggered reaction, a voltage could be produced to charge a paper supercapacitor which could provide a high instantaneous current with a digital multimeter to transduce the result of the assay, and realize the self-generation of an amplified electrical signal. By simply varying the direction of pop-up structure, the electrochemical signal from DPV read out mode could be achieved through catalytic oxidation of glucose by the remaining GOx-DNA2 on the detection zone. The proposed self-powered oPAD enabled the sensitive diagnosis of ATP in a linear range of 10-5000 nM with a limit of detection of 3 nM and 1.4 nM, respectively.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells, a type of viable cancer cell circulating from primary or metastatic tumors in the blood stream, can lead to the parallel development of primary tumors and metastatic lesions. Highly selective and sensitive detection of tumor cells has become a hot research topic and can provide a basis for early diagnosis of cancers and anticancer drug evaluation to develop the best treatment plan. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that can bind to target tumor cells in unique three-dimensional structures with high specificity and affinity. Aptamer-based methods or signal amplification methods using aptamers show great potential in improving the selectivity and sensitivity of electrochemical (EC) cytosensors for tumor cell detection. This review covers the remarkable developments in aptamer-based EC cytosensors for the identification of cell type, cell counting and detection of crucial proteins on the cell surface. Various EC techniques have been developed for cancer cell detection, including common voltammetry or impedance, electrochemiluminescence and photoelectrochemistry in a direct approach (aptamer-target cell), sandwich approach (capture probe-target cell-signaling probe) or other approach. The current challenges and promising opportunities in the establishment of EC aptamer cytosensors for tumor cell detection are also discussed.

Construction of Tb-MOF-on-Fe-MOF conjugate as a novel platform for ultrasensitive detection of carbohydrate antigen 125 and living cancer cells. Biosens Bioelectron 2019; 142:111536. [PMID: 31362204 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2019.111536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 99] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2019] [Revised: 07/10/2019] [Accepted: 07/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Combining different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into a conjugate material can integrate the properties of each MOF component and further lead to emergent properties from the synergistic heterostructured units. In this work, two kinds of bimetallic TbFe-MOFs have been designed by MOF-on-MOF strategy and utilized as a platform for anchoring carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) aptamer to detect CA125 and living michigan cancer foundation-7 (MCF-7) cells. Although the integrated MOF-on-MOF architectures show similar chemical and structural features to that of the top layer, the Fe-MOF-on-Tb-MOF and Tb-MOF-on-Fe-MOF have different surface nanostructures to their parent MOFs. The developed aptasensor based on Tb-MOF-on-Fe-MOF displays higher stability of the formed G-quadruplex between aptamer and CA125 than that based on Fe-MOF-on-Tb-MOF, owing to stronger immobilization behavior of the aptamer for the Tb-MOF-on-Fe-MOF composite. The developed aptasensor provides an extremely low detection limit of 58 μU·mL-1 towards CA125 within a wide linear range from 100 μU·mL-1 to 200 U·mL-1, which is significantly lower than those of all reported sensors. This aptasensor also has high selectivity, good stability, acceptable reproducibility, and excellent applicability in human serum. Moreover, the Tb-MOF-on-Fe-MOF nanoarchitecture demonstrates superior biocompatibility and good endocytosis. As a result, the developed aptasensor illustrates high sensitivity for detection of MCF-7 cells with an extremely low detection limit of 19 cell·mL-1. Therefore, the proposed aptasensor based on Tb-MOF-on-Fe-MOF exhibits great potentials for early diagnosis of tumors.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive voltammetric aptasensor was constructed to analyze cardiac troponin I (cTnI). It is based on DNA nanotetrahedron (NTH) linked dual-aptamer (dAPT) and magnetic metal organic frameworks (mMOFs) of type Fe3O4@UiO-66. Firstly, the DNA NTH linked dAPT (Tro4 and Tro6) were immobilized on a gold electrode for improving the capture efficiency of cTnI. The novel mMOFs Fe3O4@UiO-66 was then decorated by Au@Pt nanoparticles (Au@PtNPs), horseradish peroxidase (HRP), G-quadruplex/hemin (GQH) DNAzyme, and two types of aptamers to form signaling nanoprobes. In the presence of cTnI, an aptamer-protein-nanoprobe sandwich-type structure is formed. Afterward, the nanoprobes including enzyme, GQH DNAzyme and Fe3O4@UiO-66/Au@PtNP were utilized to catalyze the oxidation of hydroquinone by hydrogen peroxide for the electrochemical signals amplification, typically at a working potential of -0.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The voltammetric signal increases linearly in the 0.01 to 100 ng·mL-1 cTnI concentration range, and the detection limit is 5.7 pg·mL-1. Graphical abstract An ultrasensitive voltammetric aptasensor was constructed to analyze cardiac troponin I (cTnI) based on DNA nanotetrahedron linked dual-aptamer and magnetic metal organic frameworks of type Fe3O4@UiO-66. The results indicated the aptasensor has a wide linear response range (0.01 to 100 ng/mL) and low detection limit (5.74 pg/mL) for cTnI.
