Abstract
In this study, a nanocomposite was synthesized by incorporating graphitic carbon nanosheets, carboxyl-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and zirconium oxide nanoparticles. The resulting nanocomposite was utilized for the modification of a glassy carbon electrode. Subsequently, matrix metalloproteinase aptamer (AptMMP-9) was immobilized onto the electrode surface through the application of ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride-N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC-NHS) chemistry. Morphological characterization of the nanomaterials and the nanocomposite was performed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The nanocomposite substantially increased the electroactive surface area by 205%, facilitating enhanced immobilization of AptMMP-9. The efficacy of the biosensor was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimal conditions, the fabricated sensor demonstrated a broad range of detection from 50 to 1250 pg/mL with an impressive lower limit of detection of 10.51 pg/mL. In addition, the aptasensor exhibited remarkable sensitivity, stability, excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and real-world applicability when tested with human serum and saliva samples. In summary, our developed aptasensor exhibits significant potential as an advanced biosensing tool for the point-of-care quantification of MMP-9, promising advancements in biomarker detection for practical applications.

Piezoelectric polarization induced by dual piezoelectric materials ZnO nanosheets/MoS 2 heterostructure for enhancing photoelectrochemical water splitting. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:1166-1176. [PMID: 37788584 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023]
Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) has a broad range of applications in piezo-photoelectrochemical water splitting. However, the narrow light absorption range and high photogenerated carrier recombination efficiency make ZnO somewhat limited in applying piezo-photoelectrochemical water splitting. Heterogeneous structure construction is a superior handle to these two drawbacks. Herein, few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanospheres are compounded on ZnO nanosheets (NSs) to form a dual-piezoelectric-material heterojunction of ZnO NSs/MoS2. The photocurrent density of ZnO NSs/MoS2 reaches 0.68 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE under ultrasonic vibrations. It is 2.4 times higher than that of ZnO NSs under ultrasonic vibrations. The efficient piezo-photoelectrochemical performance is attributed to increased absorption range and polarization field. On the one hand, the narrow band gap of the few-layer MoS2 widens the light absorption range of ZnO. On the other hand, compared to pure ZnO NSs, ZnO NSs/MoS2 has an enhanced polarization field under ultrasonic vibrations due to the piezoelectric properties of dual piezoelectric materials, which dramatically accelerates the electron transfer and suppresses the recombination of between electrons and holes. This work provides a new approach to constructing photoelectrodes with effective piezoelectric photocatalytic properties.

Abstract
Identifying disease biomarkers and detecting hazardous, explosive, flammable, and polluting gases and chemicals with extremely sensitive and selective sensor devices remains a challenging and time-consuming research challenge. Due to their exceptional characteristics, semiconducting metal oxides (SMOxs) have received a lot of attention in terms of the development of various types of sensors in recent years. The key performance indicators of SMOx-based sensors are their sensitivity, selectivity, recovery time, and steady response over time. SMOx-based sensors are discussed in this review based on their different properties. Surface properties of the functional material, such as its (nano)structure, morphology, and crystallinity, greatly influence sensor performance. A few examples of the complicated and poorly understood processes involved in SMOx sensing systems are adsorption and chemisorption, charge transfers, and oxygen migration. The future prospects of SMOx-based gas sensors, chemical sensors, and biological sensors are also discussed.

Abstract
Taking advantages of the catalytic activity of METTL3/METTL14 protein towards adenine methylation in RNA sequence and the specific digestion activity of MazF protein towards unmethylated RNA sequence containing ACA bases, a novel photoelectrochemical biosensor was constructed for simultaneous detection of RNA methylation, METTL3/METTL14 protein and MazF protein. MoSe2-BiOI nanocomposite was prepared and considered as photoactive material, catalytic hairpin assembly strategy and in situ generation of electron donors catalyzed by polyaspartic acid-loaded alkaline phosphatase technique were employed as signal amplification. Under the optimum conditions, the detection ranges of methylated RNA, METTL3/METTL14 protein and MazF protein were 0.001-50 nM, 0.001-25 ng/μL, and 0.001-10 U/mL, respectively. The corresponding detection limits were 0.46 pM, 0.51 pg/μL and 0.42 U/μL with S/N = 3. In addition, the effect of drugs and composite pollutants on the activities of MazF proteins was assessed, proving the applicability of the developed method in the field of drug screening for MazF-related diseases. Moreover, the effects of pollutants on the activity of METTL3/METTL14 were also preliminarily explored, providing new information on pathogenic mechanism of pollutants.

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

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on b-TiO2/CdS:Eu/Ti3C2 heterojunction was developed for ultrasensitive determination of miRNA-21. In this device, the b-TiO2/CdS:Eu/Ti3C2 heterojunction with excellent energy level arrangement effectively facilitated photoelectric conversion efficiency and accelerated the separation of the photogenerated electron hole pairs, which because that the structure of heterojunction overcomes the drawbacks of single material, such as narrow light absorption range, wide band gap, short carrier lifetime, etc., improves light utilization, extends the lifetime of photogenerated electron hole pairs, and promotes electron transfer. Herein, hairpin DNA1 (H1) decorated on the b-TiO2/CdS:Eu/Ti3C2 electrode surface by Cd-S bonds, after H2/miRNA-21 heterduplex was introduced, the strand-displacement reaction (SDR) was triggered between H1 and H2/miRNA-21, accordingly, miRNA-21 was discharged from the H2/miRNA-21 heterduplex, forming the H1/H2 duplex, and the reuse of miRNA-21 was realized. As a signal amplification factor, the signal amplification factor H3-CdSe was hybridized with H1/H2 duplex, which greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the PEC biosensor. Under optimal conditions, the designed PEC biosensor displayed outstanding sensitivity, selectivity and stability with a wide liner range from 1.0 μM to 10.0 fM and a low detection limit of 3.3 fM. The preparation of the optoelectronic material affords a new direction for the progress of heterojunction photovoltaic materials and the construction of the proposed biosensor also provides a new thought for the PEC detection of human miRNA-21 with superior performance. Simultaneously, the established biosensor exhibiting tremendous possibility for detecting other biomarkers and biomolecules in clinical diagnosis fields.

Abstract
Currently, the development of sensitive and visual strategy for Cry1Ab detection, particularly using a switchable dual-mode detection system based on a single component, remains a great challenge. Here, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) and visual dual-mode sensor was designed for Cry1Ab detection based on a proximity hybridization driven multifunctional probe. In the presence of Cry1Ab, specific desorption of the antibody-DNA conjugate was achieved via sufficient proximity hybridization, leading to the selective release of the multifunctional signal probe, i.e., antibody-labeled single-stranded DNA-gold nanoparticles (Ab1-S1-AuNPs). The released Ab1-S1-AuNPs reduced the photocurrent signal and produced a colored response, thereby achieving PEC and visual dual-mode detection based on a single component. Owing to the different signal generation mechanisms, two independent signals were obtained simultaneously, which provided self-verification to improve reliability and accuracy. Taking advantage of the PEC sensitive detection and visual prediction, the dual-mode sensor achieved efficient detection of the Cry1Ab protein. The developed sensor was successfully used to determine Cry1Ab in corn, wheat, and soil samples with satisfactory results. This method offers a promising biosensing platform for the on-site detection of Cry1Ab protein.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of certain fatal diseases is vital for preventing severe consequences and contributes to a more effective treatment. Despite numerous conventional methods to realize this goal, employing nanobiosensors is a novel approach that provides a fast and precise detection. Recently, nanomaterials have been widely applied as biosensors with distinctive features. Graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based nanostructure that has received attention in biosensing. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, semiconductivity, high photoluminescence yield, low-cost synthesis, easy production process, antimicrobial activity, and high stability are prominent properties that have rendered g-C3N4 a promising candidate to be used in electrochemical, optical, and other kinds of biosensors. This review presents the g-C3N4 unique features, synthesis methods, and g-C3N4-based nanomaterials. In addition, recent relevant studies on using g-C3N4 in biosensors in regard to improving treatment pathways are reviewed.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysts are extensively used to achieve interfacial electric fields for acceleration of oriented charge carrier transport and further promotion of photocatalytic redox reactions. Unfortunately, the incoherent interfaces are almost present in the heterostructures owing to large lattice mismatch accompanied by the interfacial defects and high density of gap states, acting as high energy barriers for charge migration. In this work, we report the atomic engineering of CsPbBr3/PbSe heterogeneous interfaces and conversion from incoherent features to semicoherent characters via methyl acetate (MeOAc) purification of CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) before composited with two-dimensional (2D)-PbSe, which is confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic performances and theoretical calculations indicate that semicoherent interfaces are favorable for improving the activity and reactivity of the heterostructure, triggering 3 times enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction rate with 91% selectivity and satisfactory stability. This study proposes a facile method for photocatalytic heterojunctions to transform incoherent interfaces to photocatalytically beneficial semicoherent boundaries, accompanying with a systematic analysis of the consequent chemical dynamics to demonstrate the mechanism of the semicoherent interface for supporting photocatalysis. The understandings gained from this work are valuable for rational interfacial lattice engineering of heterogeneous photocatalysts for efficient solar fuel production.

Identification and ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical detection of LncNR_040117: a biomarker of recurrent miscarriage and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome in platelet-derived microparticles. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:396. [PMID: 36045427 PMCID: PMC9429728 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01608-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
The abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) is closely related to immune disorders and may lead to antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and recurrent miscarriage. To understand the association between the LncRNAs in PMPs and RM/APS, the differences in the expression of LncRNAs in RM/APS patients and healthy controls were analyzed. Microarray analysis and RT-qPCR detection proved that RM/APS patient exhibited high levels of LncNR_040117 expression. The lentiviral silent expression transfection of HTR-8/SVneo cells indicated that LncNR_040117 downregulation decreased the activity of HTR-8/SVneo cells and inhibited the MAPK signaling pathway, further confirming the biomarker proficiency of LncNR_040117 for RM/APS. After that, we proposed a β-In2S3@g-C3N4 nanoheterojunction-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor to achieve the ultrasensitive detection of LncNR_040117. The nanoheterojunction aids in the effective separation of photogenerated carriers and significantly improve the photocurrent response of the biosensor. The conjugation of LncNR_040117 onto the PEC biosensing platform increased the steric hindrance between electrolyte and electrode, subsequently decreasing the photocurrent signal. The PEC biosensor showed a wide detection range of 0.1-106 fM and a low limit of detection of 0.025 fM. For clinical sample testing, the results of the PEC and RT-qPCR were highly consistent. Overall, LncNR_040117 in PMPs was identified as an effective biomarker for RM/APS and could be accurately detected by the proposed PEC biosensor, which is expected to provide a reliable diagnostic platform for RM/APS.

Abstract
Amyloid-β oligomer (AβO) is widely regarded as a reliable biomarker for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, a signal on-off ratiometric electrochemical immunosensor has been developed for ultrasensitive detection of AβO. To achieve the dual-signal ratiometric strategy, ultrasmall copper sulfide nanoparticle-engineered covalent organic framework hybrid nanocomposites (CuS@COFs) were utilized as excellent electrocatalysts toward hydroquinone (HQ) oxidation to produce detectable signals. Meanwhile, electroactive thionine (Thi) and Aβ antibody-modified gold nanoparticles (Thi-AuNPs-Ab bioconjugates) were designed as another electrochemical indicator. Based on these two signals, an ultrasensitive sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensor was established for AβO detection. The introduction of AβO resulted in a remarkable decline in the electrochemical signal of HQ but an increase in the signal of Thi. Under optimum conditions, the ratios between the double signals (IThi/IHQ) showed a proportional linear relationship with the AβO concentration (1 pM-1 μM) with a low detection limit of 0.4 pM (S/N = 3), and the biosensor was able to determine the content of AβO in real cerebrospinal fluid samples with satisfactory results. The ratiometric strategy proposed in our study offers a sensitive and efficient approach for early diagnosis of AD, and this work will promote the further applications of engineered COFs in electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with versatile properties have been widely applied in the field of biomedicine. Despite various studies having reviewed the development of biomedical 2D nanomaterials, there is a lack of a study that objectively summarizes and analyzes the research trend of this important field. Here, we employ a series of bibliometric methods to identify the development of the 2D nanomaterial-related biomedical field during the past 10 years from a holistic point of view. First, the annual publication/citation growth, country/institute/author distribution, referenced sources, and research hotspots are identified. Thereafter, based on the objectively identified research hotspots, the contributions of 2D nanomaterials to the various biomedical subfields, including those of biosensing, imaging/therapy, antibacterial treatment, and tissue engineering are carefully explored, by considering the intrinsic properties of the nanomaterials. Finally, prospects and challenges have been discussed to shed light on the future development and clinical translation of 2D nanomaterials. This review provides a novel perspective to identify and further promote the development of 2D nanomaterials in biomedical research.

Abstract
We report on a photoelectrochemical (PEC) device to detect prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) under visible LED light irradiation within the point-of-care (POC) paradigm. The device consists of a 3D printed miniaturized photoelectrochemical system and a disposable PEC immunosensor made with screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). The SPCEs were coated with nickel single atoms anchored on graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-gC3N4), titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2), and aryl diazonium salt prepared from p-aminobenzoic acid. The electrodeposited aryl diazonium on Ni-gC3N4/TiO2 decreased the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, leading to a 3.1-fold increase in the photocurrent compared to pure TiO2. This functionalization strategy provides carboxylic groups to anchor antibodies via the carbodiimide reaction, which may be extended to any other type of immunosensor. Under optimal conditions, the PEC immunosensor was able to detect PSA from 10-16 to 10-8 g mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.06 fg mL-1. The device robustness was confirmed with reproducibility and stability tests. PSA could also be detected in human serum samples, which demonstrates the potential of the PEC immunosensor for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
As a member of the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide family, rhenium disulfide (ReS2) is a highly competitive favorite in the field of photoelectric sensors. Nevertheless, the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs and poor electronic transmission capacity of pure ReS2 limit its wider applications. As a new attempt to optimize its inherent structure and challenge its competency boundary, in this work, a bimetallic co-chamber feeding atomic layer deposition with a precise dose regulation strategy has been used to fabricate ReS2 nanotubes (ReS2-NTs) and MoS2-ReS2 heterojunction nanotubes (MoS2-ReS2-HNTs) based on the anodic aluminum oxide template sacrifice method for the first time. These obtained NTs have at least two advantages: they have a controllable diameter (40-500 nm), definite wall thickness (1 layer to 10 layers), and desirable Mo-to-Re ratio (0 to 90%), and their electron-transfer capacity and photocurrent response can be effectively enhanced by the incorporated Mo atoms. Further experiments indicated that MoS2-ReS2-HNTs with a real Mo-to-Re ratio of 31.0% exhibits the best photocurrent response performance, by which the ultrasensitive detection of cancer-related miRNA-155 with a linear range of 10 aM to 1 nM and a detection limit of 1.8 aM is achieved.

Abstract
As an important epigenetic modification, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) aroused wide concern about the distribution and the function. Due to the necessity of 5hmC detection, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was established based on the in-situ generated heterojunction of Bi4NbO8Cl@Bi2S3, which was employed as the substrate material with excellent photoelectric property. The specific recognition of 5hmC relied on the covalent reaction between -CH2OH of 5hmC and -SH on the substrate electrode under the catalysis of M.HhaI methyltransferase. Afterwards, ZrO2 was used as signal amplification unit capturing by the specific reaction of Zr with the phosphate group of 5hmC. The experimental results demonstrated well specificity and sensitivity of this biosensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear relationship between the photocurrent and the logarithm value of 5hmC concentration was constructed with the range from 0.3 to 300 nM and the detection limit of 0.0779 nM (S/N = 3). The procedures of constructing this biosensor were compact and convenient, and this biosensor realized actual detection of 5hmC level in wheat sample. Significantly, this biosensor was applied to a preliminary study that the heavy metal Pb2+ and the perfluorooctanoic acid influence the expression of 5hmC in the genomic DNA of wheat seedling roots and leaves.

Abstract
A highly sensitive electrochemical biosensors has been developed for the detection of multiplex micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) by modifying an electrode with reduced graphene oxide/poly(2-aminobenzylamine)/gold nanoparticles and adopting porous, hollow silver-gold nanoparticles as tagged labeling with metal ions. In addition, an anti-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-RNA hybrid [S9.6] antibody was used to detect different hybridized capture DNAs and miRNAs that can detect multiple miRNAs simultaneously. The developed electrochemical platform exhibits high selectivity, stability, and sensitivity with a wide linear range from 1 fM to 10 nM and a low detection limit of 0.98 fM, 3.58 fM, and 0.25 fM for miRNA-155, miRNA-21, and miRNA-16, respectively. In addition, the proposed electrochemical biosensor capable for the simultaneous detection of miRNA-155, miRNA-16, and miRNA-21, which are breast cancer biomarkers, in normal human serum, can be adopted and potentially used for breast cancer screening.

Abstract
A photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was constructed for 5-formylcytosine (5fC) nucleotide detection based on Ag2S@WS2 photoactive material and FeVO4 catalytic signal quenching. After Ag2S@WS2 was modified onto the ITO substrate surface, 5fC recognition reagent of Au@4-amino3hydrazino5mercapto-1,2,4-triazol (Au@AHMT) was further modified through electrostatic adsorption. Afterwards, based on the specific chemical reaction between -NH2 and -CHO, 5fC can be selectively recognized and captured. Subsequently, the nanoenzyme of FeVO4 was recognized based on the specific reaction between the phosphate group of 5fC nucleotide and Fe3+. Under the catalysis of FeVO4, the 4-chloro-1-naphthol in the detection solution can be oxidized to generate a precipitate, which will be retained on the electrode surface to inhibit the PEC signal. The developed method presented a widely dynamic range from 0.1 to 400 nM. The detection limit was 0.062 nM (3σ). This method also showed good detection selectivity, reproducibility and stability. The applicability was verified by investigating 5fC content change in genomic DNA of rice tissues after incubated with heavy metals. Moreover, the inhibited influence of hydrochar towards heavy metals was also assessed.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are genetic materials in the human body that play important roles in storing, copying, and transmitting genetic information. Abnormal nucleic acid sequences, base mutations, and genetic changes often lead to cancer and other diseases. Meanwhile, methylated DNA is one of the main epigenetic modifications, which is considered to be an excellent biomarker in the early detection, prognosis, and treatment of cancers. Therefore, a multifunctional electrochemical biosensor was constructed with sturdy tetrahedral tripods, which assisted multiple tandem hairpins through base complementary pairing and effective ultra-sensitive detection of targets (DNA, microRNA, and methylated DNA). In the experiments, experimental conditions were optimized, and different DNA concentrations in serum were detected to verify the sensitivity of the biosensor and the feasibility of this protocol. In addition, microRNA and DNA methylation were detected through different designs of tetrahedral tripods (TTs) that capture probes to prove the superiority of this scheme. A sturdy pyramid structure of TTs extremely enhanced the capture efficiency of targets. The targets triggered the one-step isothermal multi-tandem amplification reaction by incubating multiple hairpin assemblies. To our knowledge, a combination of two parts, which greatly reduced background interference and decreased non-specific substance interference, has appeared for the first time in this paper. Moreover, the load area of electrochemical substances was significantly increased than that in previous studies. This greatly increased the detection range and detection limit of targets. The electrochemical signal responses were generated in freely diffusing hexaammineruthenium(iii) chloride (RuHex). RuHex could adhere to the DNA phosphate backbone by a powerful electrostatic attraction, causing increased current responses. Schematic illustration of the fabricated electrochemical biosensor. TTs assisted multiple tandem hairpins assembly for ultra-sensitive detection of target DNA.![]()

Abstract
The design and construction of a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor with excellent photoelectric properties and good photoelectrocatalysis activity is significant for the effective detection of analytes. In this paper, based on a two-step anodic oxidation method and successive ionic layer adsorption (SILAR) method, a TiO2 nanotube array (TNT) photoelectrochemical sensor modified with BiOBr nanosheets was constructed and applied for the detection of H2O2 for the first time. The photocurrent of the photoelectrochemical sensor increases with the increase of the H2O2 concentration under the irradiation of an 8 W UV lamp. Excellent linearity was obtained in the concentration range from 10 nM to 100 μM with a low detection limit of 5 nM (S/N = 3). This excellent photoelectrochemical performance is due to the formation of a p-n heterojunction between BiOBr and TiO2 nanotube arrays, which provides efficient separation of charge carriers and accelerates electron transport. Moreover, it is applied to detect H2O2 in milk samples and it showed a good recovery result ranging from 95.73% to 105.65%, which provides a promising new strategy for the detection of H2O2.

Abstract
The biology of the late twentieth century was marked by the discovery in 1993 of a new class of small non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) which play major roles in regulating the translation and degradation of messenger RNAs. These small RNAs (18-25 nucleotides), called microRNAs (miRNAs), are implied in several biological processes such as differentiation, metabolic homeostasis, or cellular apoptosis and proliferation. The discovery in 2008 that the presence of miRNAs in body fluids could be correlated with cancer (prostate, breast, colon, lung, etc.) or other diseases (diabetes, heart diseases, etc.) has made them new key players as biomarkers. Therefore, miRNA detection is of considerable significance in both disease diagnosis and in the study of miRNA function. Until these days, more than 1200 miRNAs have been identified. However, traditional methods developed for conventional DNA does not apply satisfactorily for miRNA, in particular due to the low expression level of these miRNA in biofluids, and because they are very short strands. Electrochemical biosensors can provide this sensitivity and also offer the advantages of mass fabrication, low-cost, and potential decentralized analysis, which has wide application for microRNAs sensing, with many promising results already reported. The present review summarizes some newly developed electrochemical miRNA detection methods.

Abstract
Glioma is the predominant brain tumor with high death rate. The successful development of biosensor to achieve an efficient detection of glioma cells at low concentration remains a great challenge for the personalized glioma therapy. Herein, an ultrasensitive pulse induced electrochemically impedimetric biosensor for glioma cells detection has been successfully fabricated. The 4-11 nm sulfur-doped graphene quantum dots (S-GQDs) are homogeneously deposited onto gold nanoparticles decorated carbon nanospheres (Au-CNS) by Au-thiol linkage to form S-GQDs@Au-CNS nanocomposite which acts as dual functional probe for enhancing the electrochemical activity as well as conjugating the angiopep-2 (Ang-2) for glioma cell detection. Moreover, the application of an externally electrical pulse at +0.6 V expend the surface of glioma cells to accelerate the attachment of glioma cells onto the Ang-2-conjugated S-GQDs@Au-CNS nanocomposite, resulting in the enhanced sensitivity toward glioma cell detection. An ultrasensitive impedimetric detection of glioma cells with a wide linear range of 100-100,000 cells mL-1 and a limit of detection of 40 cells mL-1 is observed. Moreover, the superior selectivity with long-term stability of the developed biosensor in human serum matrix corroborates the feasibility of using S-GQDs@Au-CNS based nanomaterials as the promising sensing probe for practical application to facilitate the ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of cancer cells.

Abstract
In virtue of the inherent molecular recognition and programmability, DNA has recently become the most promising for high-performance biosensors. The rationally engineered nucleic acid architecture will be very advantageous to hybridization efficiency, specificity, and sensitivity. Herein, a robust and split-mode photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for miRNA-196a was developed based on an entropy-driven tetrahedral DNA (EDTD) amplifier coupled with superparamagnetic nanostructures. The DNA tetrahedron structure features in rigidity and structural stability that contribute to obtain precise identification units and specific orientations, improving the hybridization efficiency, sensitivity, and selectivity of the as-designed PEC biosensor. Further, superparamagnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@CdS particles integrated with DNA nanostructures are beneficial for the construction of a split-mode, highly selective, and reliable PEC biosensor. Particularly, the enzyme- and hairpin-free EDTD amplifier eliminates unnecessary interference from the complex secondary structure of pseudoknots or kissing loops in typical hairpin DNAs, significantly lowers the background noise, and improves the detection sensitivity. This PEC biosensor is capable of monitoring miRNA-196a in practical settings with additional advantages of efficient electrode fabrication, stability, and reproducibility. This strategy can be extended to various miRNA assays in complex biological systems with excellent performance.

Abstract
Herein, we developed an unmodified hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform with a low background signal and high sensitivity based on CuS quantum dots (QDs)/Co3O4 polyhedra-driven multiple signal amplifications. The prepared porous h-BN nanosheets with large specific surface areas, as the photoelectric substrate material, can provide extensive active reaction sites. Meanwhile, the CuS QDs/Co3O4 polyhedra were synthesized by the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) and utilized as a multiple signal amplifier, which can not only drive the p-n semiconductor quenching effect to compete with the h-BN photoelectrode for the consumption of electron donors and exciting light but also trigger a mimetic enzymatic catalytic precipitation effect to inhibit electron transfer. The quenching ability and peroxidase-like activity of CuS QDs/Co3O4 polyhedra were evaluated to prove its superiority, and the possible mechanisms of electron transfer and enzymatic catalytic were further analyzed in detail. The developed PEC biosensing platform for the chlorpyrifos assay presented outstanding performance with a wide linear range from 1 × 10-1 to 1 × 107 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 0.34 pg mL-1 and exhibited excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. In addition, the CuS QDs/Co3O4 polyhedra-activated h-BN PEC biosensing platform may exhibit universality for various analytes via replacing the corresponding target aptamer sequence. This work provides a remarkable inspiration and valuable reference for the development of the PEC biosensor, and the signal amplifier-enabled unmodified PEC biosensing platform strategy has a bright application in early safety warning, bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
As biosensors and biomedical devices have become increasingly important to everyday diagnostics and monitoring, there are tremendous, and constant efforts towards developing and improving the reliability and versatility of such technology. As they offer high surface area-to-volume ratios and a diverse range of properties, from electronic to optical, two dimensional (2D) materials have proven to be very promising candidates for biological applications and technologies. Due to the dimensionality, 2D materials facilitate many interfacial phenomena that have shown to significantly improve the performance of biosensors, while recent advances in synthesis techniques and surface engineering methods also enable the realization of future biomedical devices. This short review aims to highlight the influence of 2D material surfaces and the properties that arise due to their 2D structure. Using recent (within the last few years) examples of biosensors and biomedical applications, we emphasize the important role of 2D materials in advancing developments and research for biosensing and healthcare.

Abstract
Since late December 2019, the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19; previously known as 2019-nCoV) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been surging rapidly around the world. With more than 1,700,000 confirmed cases, the world faces an unprecedented economic, social, and health impact. The early, rapid, sensitive, and accurate diagnosis of viral infection provides rapid responses for public health surveillance, prevention, and control of contagious diffusion. More than 30% of the confirmed cases are asymptomatic, and the high false-negative rate (FNR) of a single assay requires the development of novel diagnostic techniques, combinative approaches, sampling from different locations, and consecutive detection. The recurrence of discharged patients indicates the need for long-term monitoring and tracking. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods are evolving with a deeper understanding of virus pathology and the potential for relapse. In this Review, a comprehensive summary and comparison of different SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic methods are provided for researchers and clinicians to develop appropriate strategies for the timely and effective detection of SARS-CoV-2. The survey of current biosensors and diagnostic devices for viral nucleic acids, proteins, and particles and chest tomography will provide insight into the development of novel perspective techniques for the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
Artificial photoresponsive nanochannels have attracted widespread attention because of their capacity to achieve ion transport through light modulation. Herein, a biosensor for ultrasensitive miRNA-155 detection is devised based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) modified porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) photoresponsive nanochannels by atomic layer deposition (ALD). According to the optimized experimental results, when the cycles of ALD, the wavelength, and the power of the excitation laser are 70 cycles, 450 nm, and 80 mW, respectively, the most supreme photocurrent performance of these photoresponsive nanochannels are obtained. AAO nanochannels modified with MoS2 can work as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor by generating photoexcitation current; what is more, the high channel density in AAO can magnify the ion current signal response effectively by aggrandizing the flux of electroactive species. By using AAO photoresponsive nanochannels with an average diameter of 150 nm as PEC biosensor, an ultrasensitive detection record ranging from 0.01 fM to 0.01 nM with a detection limit of 3 aM can be achieved. This work not only proposes a simple method for manufacturing semiconductor photoresponsive nanochannels, but also exhibits great potential in the ultrasensitive detection of biomolecules.

Abstract
In this work, Bi2Te3 nanosheets treated with N-vinyl-pyrrolidinone showed highly sufficient and stable photocurrent for being used as a novel photoactive material. Accordingly, with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) sensitizing Bi2Te3 nanosheets, photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor coupling of DNA-amplifying strategies was constructed for sensitive miRNA-21 detection. Initially, the Bi2Te3 nanosheets on the electrode have conductive surface states with dissipationless electronic property, thus providing a highly stable photocurrent and a large surface-to-volume ratio. Then, with the participation of target miRNA-21 and auxiliary DNA, strand displacement amplification took place, thereby opening substantial DNA hairpins for triggering the next hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Through the HCR, long DNA tails decorated with CdTe QDs could thus be assembled on the electrode for enhancing the photocurrent of Bi2Te3 nanosheets. As a result, the proposed PEC biosensor showed a wide detection range from 10 fM to 100 pM with a detection limit of 3.3 fM, displaying a promising avenue to construct simple, ultrasensitive, and stable analytical techniques and tremendous potential in bioanalysis and early clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
5-Formylcytosine (5fC) is a rare base found in mammalian DNA, which is thought to be involved in the demethylation of DNA. As a stable epigenetic modification, 5fC participates in gene regulation and cell differentiation, and plays an important role in the growth and development of plants. However, the abundance of 5fC is only as low as 0.002-0.02% of cytosine. Therefore, to further understand the functions of 5fC, a rapid, highly sensitive, and efficient method is needed for detecting 5fC. Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was constructed for 5fC detection, where a MoS2/WS2 nanosheet heterojunction was employed as a photoactive material, amino-functionalized Fe3O4 and SMCC were used as a linker, 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole was adopted as 5fC recognition reagent, and black TiO2 (B-TiO2) was used as a signal amplification unit. Under the optimal experimental conditions, this PEC biosensor showed a wide linear range of 0.01-200 nM and a low detection limit of 2.7 pM (S/N = 3). Due to the specific covalent reaction between -NH2 and -CHO, the biosensor presented high detection sensitivity, even discriminating 5fC with 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. The biosensor was then applied to investigate the effect of heavy metal Cd2+ on 5fC content in the root, stem, and leaves of maize seedlings.
