Abstract
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have received significant attention owing to their unique properties, especially enhanced sensitivity. Recent advancements in biomedical diagnosis have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as sensitive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. Current diagnostics methods, however, need further improvements with regards to their sensitivity, mainly due to the low concentration levels of miRNAs in the body. The low limit of detection of nanomaterial-based biosensors has turned them into powerful tools for detecting and quantifying these biomarkers. Herein, we assemble an overview of recent developments in the application of different nanomaterials and nanostructures as miRNA electrochemical biosensing platforms, along with their pros and cons. The techniques are categorized based on the nanomaterial used.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis and treatment have been of broad interest among scientists in the last decades due to the high death rate, widespread occurrence, and recurrence after treatment. The survival rate of cancer patients depends greatly on early detection and appropriate treatments. Therefore developing new technologies applicable to sensitive and specific methods of cancer detection is an inevitable task for cancer researchers. Abnormal miRNA expression is contributed to severe diseases such as cancers and since their expression level and type differ strictly during carcinogenesis and later metastasis and treatments, the improved detection accuracy of these miRNAs would undoubtedly lead to early diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. Biosensors are accurate and straightforward analytical devices that have had practical applications especially in the last decade. Their domain is still growing through a combination of attractive nanomaterials and amplification methods, leading to innovative biosensing platforms for the efficient detection of miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. In this review, we will provide the recent developments in biosensors to detect intestine cancer miRNA biomarkers and also discuss the challenges and outcomings of this field.

Abstract
Multiplexed nucleic acid sensing methods with high specificity are vital for clinical diagnostics and infectious disease control, especially in the postpandemic era. Nanopore sensing techniques have developed in the past two decades, offering versatile tools for biosensing while enabling highly sensitive analyte measurements at the single-molecule level. Here, we establish a nanopore sensor based on DNA dumbbell nanoswitches for multiplexed nucleic acid detection and bacterial identification. The DNA nanotechnology-based sensor switches from an "open" into a "closed" state when a target strand hybridizes to two sequence-specific sensing overhangs. The loop in the DNA pulls two groups of dumbbells together. The change in topology results in an easily recognized peak in the current trace. Simultaneous detection of four different sequences was achieved by assembling four DNA dumbbell nanoswitches on one carrier. The high specificity of the dumbbell nanoswitch was verified by distinguishing single base variants in DNA and RNA targets using four barcoded carriers in multiplexed measurements. By combining multiple dumbbell nanoswitches with barcoded DNA carriers, we identified different bacterial species even with high sequence similarity by detecting strain specific 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) fragments.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in tumorigenesis and tumor development. Exosomal microRNA-141 (miRNA-141, miR-141) has been reported to be overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa) and has become a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of PCa. Herein, a novel fluorescent biosensor based on toehold-aided cyclic amplification combined with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme catalysis and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was designed for determination of the exosomes-derived microRNA-141 (miRNA-141, miR-141). The synergy of HRP enzyme catalysis and toehold mediated strand display reaction (TSDR) increase the sensitivity of the method, and the good separation ability of MNPs ensures the specificity of the method. Therefore, under the optimized experimental conditions, the highly sensitive and specific detection of miRNA-141 can be realized, and the detection limit is as low as 10 fM. More importantly, the biosensor successfully determinates the exosomal miR-141 in the plasma of patients with PCa.

Abstract
Cancer is the second most fatal disease in the world and an early diagnosis is important for a successful treatment. Thus, it is necessary to develop fast, sensitive, simple, and inexpensive analytical tools for cancer biomarker detection. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an RNA cancer biomarker where the expression level in body fluid is strongly correlated to cancer. Various biosensors involving the detection of miRNA for cancer diagnosis were developed. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in electrochemical biosensor for miRNA cancer marker detection from 2015 to 2020. The review focuses on the approaches to direct miRNA detection based on the electrochemical signal. It includes a RedOx-labeled probe with different designs, RedOx DNA-intercalating agents, various kinds of RedOx catalysts used to produce a signal response, and finally a free RedOx indicator. Furthermore, the advantages and drawbacks of these approaches are highlighted.

Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1122:39-47.

Abstract
DNA nanomaterials are reliable and powerful tools in the development of a variety of biosensors owing to their notable self-assembly ability and precise recognition capability. Here, we propose a DNA nanomaterial-based system for the dual-amplified electrochemical sensing of circulating microRNAs by a coupled cascade of catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) and three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanonet structure. In the target-assisted CHA process, the stable hairpin structures H1 and H2 act as probes for the recognition and recycling of circulating microRNAs, leading to the formation of abundant H1-H2 duplexes with tails. Subsequently, a 3D DNA nanonet structure was introduced, which was assembled using three DNA strands constructed X-DNA monomers as the building blocks, and hybridized to the tails of H1-H2 duplexes. The successful integration of target-assisted CHA and 3D DNA nanonet structure induced the second signal amplification. The designed biosensor performed under optimized experimental conditions, and exposed admirable analytical performance for the detection of circulating miR-21, with a wide linear range from 10 fM to 1 nM, high sensitivity of limit of detection (LOD) of 3.6083 fM, good specificity in the face of single nucleotides and other microRNAs, satisfactory stability and reproducibility for practical analysis. Furthermore, the clinical applicability for circulating miR-21 detection was verified in human serum samples without additional treatment. We hope that this elaborated biosensor will provide new opportunities for bioassays based on DNA nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells via malignant cell division and rapid DNA replication. While DNA damaging molecules can cause cancer, their role as anticancer drugs are very significant. For this purpose, the novel series of paraben substituted spermine bridged(dispirobino) cyclotriphosphazene compounds 2-6 were synthesized for the first time, and their structures were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The solid-state structures and geometries of compounds 2-6 were determined using single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. In addition, it was confirmed by TGA that all compounds 1-6 showed high thermal stability. Two methods were used in order to investigate DNA interaction properties of the targeted molecules. While biosensor-based screening test that measures DNA hybridization efficiency on a biochip surface, the agarose gel electrophoresis method examines the effect of compounds on plasmid DNA structure. The results collected from the automated biosensor device and agarose gel electrophoresis have indicated that compounds 1, 5, and 6 showed higher DNA damage than the compounds 2-4. According to the biosensor results, compounds 1, 5, and 6 showed 85%, 69%, and 77% activity, respectively.
