Abstract
Enhancing the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a significant topic in the ECL field. Herein, we elaborately chose PAH derivative luminophore 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene (H4TBAPy) as the organic ligand to synthesize a new Ru-complex-free ECL-active metal-organic framework Dy-TBAPy. Interestingly, Dy-TBAPy exhibited a more brilliant ECL emission and higher ECL efficiency than H4TBAPy aggregates. On the one hand, TBAPy luminophores were assembled into rigid MOF skeleton via coordination bonds, which not only enlarged the distance between pyrene cores to eliminate the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect but also obstructed the intramolecular motions of TBAPy to diminish the nonradiative relaxation, thus realizing a remarkable coordination-enhanced ECL. On the other hand, the ultrahigh porosity of Dy-TBAPy was beneficial to the diffusion of electrons, ions, and coreactant (S2O82-) in the skeleton, which efficiently boosted the excitation of interior TBAPy luminophores and led to a high utilization ratio of TBAPy, further improving ECL properties. More intriguingly, the ECL intensity of the Dy-TBAPy/S2O82- system was about 4.1, 87.0-fold higher than those of classic Ru(bpy)32+/TPrA and Ru(bpy)32+/S2O82- systems. Considering the aforementioned fabulous ECL performance, Dy-TBAPy was used as an ECL probe to construct a supersensitive ECL biosensor for microRNA-21 detection, which showed an ultralow detection limit of 7.55 aM. Overall, our study manifests that coordinatively assembling PAHs into MOFs is a simple and practicable way to improve ECL properties, which solves the ACQ issue of PAHs and proposes new ideas for developing highly efficient Ru-complex-free ECL materials, therefore providing promising opportunities to fabricate high-sensitivity ECL biosensors.

Target-mediated silver deposition-based electrochemical biosensor for highly sensitive detection of human chorionic gonadotropin. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 267:116830. [PMID: 39368294 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116830] [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: 08/04/2024] [Revised: 09/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/30/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
As a glycoprotein hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is an established marker for pregnancy test. On the basis of the target-mediated silver deposition (TSD), in this work, we report the development of an amplification-free electrochemical biosensor for the highly sensitive detection of hCG. The detection of hCG involves the use of the affinity peptide-modified electrode for hCG capture (the CGGSSPPLRINRHILTR peptide containing the hCG-binding domain of the PPLRINRHILTR sequence is used as the affinity peptide), the oxidation of the diol sites of the glycan chains on hCG hormones into aldehyde groups by NaIO4, and the deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the solid-state voltammetric stripping analysis. Due to the deposition of multiple AgNPs while the solid-state Ag/AgCl voltammetric process has a high signal-to-noise ratio, the TSD-based electrochemical biosensor can be applied to the highly sensitive detection of hCG without the need for signal amplification. Under optimal conditions, the stripping current increased linearly with an increasing hCG concentration over the range from 1.0 to 25 mIU/mL, with a detection limit of 0.45 mIU/mL. Owing to the high specificity of the hCG-binding peptide PPLRINRHILTR, this electrochemical hCG biosensor exhibits high selectivity. The results of the quantitative assay of hCG in urine samples at the concentrations of 25, 10, and 1.0 mIU/mL are desirable, indicating the good anti-interference capability. As the TSD-based electrochemical biosensor allows the amplification-free detection of low-abundance hCG, it is easy to use and cost-effective, showing great promise in point-of-care assay of hCG for pregnancy test.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors have been widely developed because of their high sensitivity and low background. However, most of them suffered from tedious probe modification on the electrode and cross-interferences within the sensing and reporting reactions. The bipolar electrode based ECL (BPE-ECL) can effectively eliminate interference by physically separating the sensing and reporting cells, but there is still a need for exogenous electroactive indicators to transduce the variations between two poles of a BPE. Herein, based on the discovery that conductivity can be regulated in aqueous medium by homogeneous bioreaction, we showed a novel BPE-ECL sensing platform that combined the conductivity-based biosensing technology with ECL reporting system for the first time. Compared to many short nucleic acids, the target induced a hybridization chain reaction to produce the long nucleic acid aggregates, resulting in a conductivity decrease of the sensing cell and finally reducing the ECL response in the reporting cell. The BPE-ECL platform has already been applied to detect microRNA-21 for a demonstration. This innovative system not only separates the target sensing and reporting reactions but also avoids the use of electrochemical indicators for measurement. The BPE-ECL biosensing platform can be developed to detect different targets by changing the probe used.

Abstract
Trimethoprim (TMP), functioning as a synergistic antibacterial agent, is utilized in diagnosing and treating diseases affecting livestock and poultry. Human consumption of the medication indirectly may lead to its drug accumulation in the body and increase drug resistance due to its prolonged metabolic duration in livestock and poultry, presenting significant health hazards. Most reported immunoassay techniques, such as ELISA and immunochromatographic assay (ICA), find it challenging to achieve the dual advantages of high sensitivity, simplicity of operation, and a wide detection range. Consequently, an open droplet microchannel-based magnetosensor for immunofluorometric assay (OMM-IFA) of trimethoprim was created, featuring a gel imager to provide a signal output derived from the highly specific antibody (Ab) targeting trimethoprim. The method exhibited high sensitivity in chicken and pork samples, with LODs of 0.300 and 0.017 ng/mL, respectively, and a wide linear range, covering trimethoprim's total maximum residue limits (MRLs). Additionally, the spiked recoveries in chicken and pork specimens varied between 81.6% and 107.9%, maintaining an acceptable variation coefficient below 15%, aligning well with the findings from the ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) technique. The developed method achieved a much wider linear range of about 5 orders of magnitude of 10-2-103 levels with grayscale signals as the output signal, which exhibited high sensitivity, excellent applicability and simple operability based on magnetic automation.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a crucial biomarker for clinical diagnosis, which is closely related to the physiological homeostasis regulation process of human body. And the abnormal level of ALP is associated with numerous diseases, such as liver dysfunction, bone diseases, diabetes, and so on. In order to meet the demand of personalized healthcare, it is particularly important to develop a miniaturized point-of-care testing (POCT) device for ALP detection. Herein, a portable solid-phase colorimetric sensor based on enzyme-induced metallization signal amplification strategy was constructed for ALP detection. The AuNPs modified on the glass slides acted as crystal seeds, allowing Ag+ in the solution to be reduced and deposited on the surface of AuNPs, which further formed the gold core and silver shell (Au@Ag) complex and generated visual signals. The visual signals were recorded by a smartphone and quantified using open-source ImageJ software. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed method exhibited a good linear relationship from 2.0 to 16.0 pM, and the detection limit was as low as 0.9 pM. In addition, it was further successfully applied for ALP detection in non-transparent and complex samples (milk, different types of cells). A sensitive, low cost, rapid and convenient solid-phase sensor was developed for ALP detection, which was expected to provide a promising strategy for POCT devices.

Abstract
Herein, a multifunctional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on exchange of Ag+ with CdTe QDs was developed for dual-mode detection of thrombin. First, CdTe QDs assembled on an electrode displayed superior ECL and PEC signals. At the same time, C-rich hairpin (HP) DNA linked to silicon spheres loaded a large amount of Ag+, and the specific binding of thrombin to an aptamer led to the release of DNA P; then, DNA P interacted with HP DNA to produce numerous Ag+ ions by an enzyme-digestion amplification reaction. Ag+ underwent ion exchange with CdTe QDs to generate AgTe/CdTe QDs, resulting in much reversed PEC and changed ECL signals for dual-mode detection of thrombin. This work takes advantage of outstanding multi-signals of QDs coupled with convenient ion exchange to achieve multi-mode detection of the target, avoiding false positive or false negative signals generated in the traditional detection process, and thus can be used for the rapid detection of various biomolecules in actual samples.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality. The discovery of microRNAs (miRs) and their unique role in cancer and other diseases has prompted the development of highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tools using nanomaterials as sensitive and specific biosensors. Among these, electrochemical biosensors, which are based on a simple and inexpensive design, make them desirable in clinical applications as well as a mass-produced point-of-care device. We review miR-based electrochemical biosensors in GI cancer and examine the use of nanoparticles in the evolving development of miR-based biosensors. Among these, a number of approaches including redox labeled probes, catalysts, redox intercalating agents and free redox indicators are highlighted for use in electrochemical biosensor technology.

Abstract
Based on a dual signal amplification strategy of novel accordion-like Bi2O3-decorated Ti3C2 (Ti3C2@Bi2O3) nanocomposites and hybridization chain reaction (HCR), an ultra-sensitive electrochemical biosensor was constructed for miRNA-21 detection. By etching Ti3AlC2 with HF, Ti3C2 with an accordion-like structure was first obtained and subsequently covered by Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs), forming Ti3C2@Bi2O3. A layer of Au NPs was electrodeposited on the glassy carbon electrode coated with Ti3C2@Bi2O3, which not only significantly improved the electron transport capacity of the electrode but also greatly increased its surface active area. Upon the immobilization of the thiolated capture probe (SH-CP) on the electrode, the target miRNA-21 specifically hybridized with SH-CP and thus opened its hairpin structure, triggering HCR to form a long double strand with the primers H1 and H2. A large number of the electrochemical indicator molecules were thus embedded inside the long double strands to produce the desirable electrochemical signal at a potential of - 0.19 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Such dual signal amplification strategy successfully endowed the biosensor with ultra-high sensitivity for miRNA-21 detection in a wide linear range from 1 fM to 100 pM with a detection limit as low as 0.16 fM. The excellent detection of miRNA-21 in human blood plasma displayed a broad prospect in clinical diagnosis. An ultra-sensitive electrochemical biosensor was successfully constructed for miRNA-21 detection in human blood plasma based on the dual signal amplification strategy of novel accordion-like Bi2O3 decorated Ti3C2 (Ti3C2@Bi2O3) nanocomposites and hybridization chain reaction.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors generally require the immobilization of recognition elements or capture probes on the electrode surface. This may limit their practical applications due to the complex operation procedure and low repeatability and stability. Magnetically assisted biosensors show remarkable advantages in separation and pre-concentration of targets from complex biological samples. More importantly, magnetically assisted sensing systems show high throughput since the magnetic materials can be produced and preserved on a large scale. In this work, we summarized the design of electrochemical biosensors involving magnetic materials as the platforms for recognition reaction and target conversion. The recognition reactions usually include antigen-antibody, DNA hybridization, and aptamer-target interactions. By conjugating an electroactive probe to biomolecules attached to magnetic materials, the complexes can be accumulated near to an electrode surface with the aid of external magnet field, producing an easily measurable redox current. The redox current can be further enhanced by enzymes, nanomaterials, DNA assemblies, and thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification. In magnetically assisted assays, the magnetic substrates are removed by a magnet after the target conversion, and the signal can be monitored through stimuli-response release of signal reporters, enzymatic production of electroactive species, or target-induced generation of messenger DNA.

Abstract
Antibiotics abuse has caused various problems threatening human health and ecological environment. Monitoring antibiotics residual levels is of great significance, yet still challenging for quantitative point-of-need testing with high-sensitivity and visual capability. Here we developed a competitive lateral flow immunoassay (CLFIA) platform with flexible readout for enrofloxacin (ENR), a regularly added antibiotic. To overcome the limitation of low sensitivity of traditional colloidal gold-based CLFIA, the three-dimensionally assembled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within dendritic silica scaffold were fabricated as signal reporters. The assembly structure effectively retained the intrinsic absorption features of hydrophobic AuNPs and greatly enhanced the light extinction ability of a single label for signal amplification. The obtained CLFIA strips can not only achieve qualitative screening of ENR at a very low concentration by naked eye (cutoff value: 0.125 ng/mL), but also enable ultrasensitive quantification of ENR by an optical scanner (limit of detection: 0.00195 ng/mL) or a smartphone (limit of detection: 0.0078 ng/mL). Moreover, to elaborate the visual inspection degree of CLFIA against traditional yes/no interpretation, a novel multirange gradient CLFIA strip was prepared for visually semiquantitative identification of ENR with four concentration ranges. The novel CLFIA platform demonstrated sensitive, specific, and reliable determination of ENR with flexible signal readout and provides a potential and invigorating pathway to point-of-need immunoassay of antibiotics.

Abstract
A sandwich electrochemical biosensing strategy for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 was developed by using graphene oxide incorporated 3D-flower-like MoS2 (3D MoS2-rGO) nanocomposites as the substrate and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-functionalized DNA strand 1 (S1)-gold nanoparticles (S1-AuNPs-HRP) as signal amplification probes. Herein, 3D MoS2-rGO nanocomposites not only had a large specific surface area and excellent conductivity, but also provided more attachment sites for electrodepositing AuNPs. In the presence of target miRNA, a sandwich structure was formed, and the determination of the miRNA-21 was carried out by measuring the DPV response of H2O2 mediated by hydroquinone (HQ) at a potential of + 0.052 V (vs AgCl reference electrode). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the as-prepared biosensor enabled the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 from 5 fM to 0.5 μM with the low detection limit of 0.54 fM (S/N = 3), comparable or lower than previous reported methods for miRNA-21 detection, which benefited from the synergistic amplification of 3D MoS2-rGO and AuNPs-HRP. The prepared biosensor showed satisfactory selectivity, reproducibility, and stability towards miRNA-21 detection. The biosensor was feasible for accurate and quantitative detection of miRNA-21 in normal human serum samples with RSD below 5.86%, which showed a great potential in clinical analysis and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Energy transfer (ET) is an effective tool to construct photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors for its high sensitivity. Since the materials to develop ET systems are limited, exploring new and universal ET systems is significant. Herein, new photoactive nanosheets (R-CDs NS) formed by self-assembling of red emission carbon dots (R-CDs) have been synthesized, which exhibit wide visible light absorption and stable photocurrent response and have an obvious sensitization effect for TiO2. Gold nanocages (AuNCs), whose absorption overlap well with the R-CDs' emission, were synthesized and served as PEC quenchers for the photosensitized system that consists of TiO2 and R-CDs. The ET between R-CDs and AuNCs can boost the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of R-CDs and results in a quenched photocurrent of this system. MicroRNA-155 was chosen as a model target. First, the nanocomposite containing R-CDs NS and AuNCs was prepared through DNA modification and hybridization. In the absence of the target, AuNCs and R-CDs were close enough for ET, with TiO2-modified FTO serving as the working electrode, and a quenched photocurrent was detected. In the presence of the target, the disintegration of the nanocomposite was induced through target hybridization and DNA hydrolyzation, leading to the separation of AuNCs and R-CDs NS, and the ET disappeared and led to a high photocurrent. With duplex-specific nuclease enzyme-assisted target recycling, the high sensitivity enabled the sensor to monitor the target in cancer cells. The sensor has a low detection limit of 71 aM. The sensing platform has high sensitivity, good selectivity, and reproducibility.

Abstract
The hybridization chain reaction is a very popular isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology. A single-stranded DNA initiator triggers an alternate hybridization event between two hairpins forming a double helix polymer. Due to isothermal, enzyme-free and high amplification efficiency characteristics, the HCR is often used as a signal amplification technology for various biosensing and biomedicine fields. However, as an enzyme-free self-assembly reaction, it has some inevitable shortcomings of relatively slow kinetics, low cell internalization efficiency, weak biostability of DNA probes and uncontrollable reaction in these applications. More and more researchers use this reaction system to synthesize new materials. New materials can avoid these problems skillfully by virtue of their inherent biological characteristics, molecular recognition ability, sequence programmability and biocompatibility. Here, we summarized the traditional application of the HCR in biosensing and biomedicine in recent years, and also introduced its new application in the synthesis of new materials for biosensing and biomedicine. Finally, we summarized the development and challenges of the HCR in biosensing and biomedicine in recent years. We hope to give readers some enlightenment and help.

Abstract
MicroRNA exhibits different levels of expression in cancer and can affect the transformation, metastasis, and carcinogenesis of the cancer cell. Herein, we developed a novel kind of electrochemical microRNA biosensor based on two-dimensional nanomaterial of antimonene nano-flakes (AMNFs) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) which were used as substrating to cadmium ion (Cd2+) for specific detection of breast cancer-relevant biomarker-microRNA-21. Compared to graphene, the first principle energetic calculation shows that the AMNFs have completely a stronger force interaction with single strand (ssRNA), due to the antimonene has a more delocalized 5 s/5p orbital. After the addition of complementary microRNA, due to the low adsorption affinity of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to antimonene, the hybridized target is easy to desorb from the antimonene interface, and the oxidation peak of metal ions is significantly reduced. Results showed the microRNA-21 concentration can be detected from 100 aM to 1 nM, the limit of detection as low as 21 aM toward microRNA-21, which is 3 times lower than those of the established microRNA biosensors. The unique combination of not be attempted before existing sensing material which has special adsorption properties represents an approach to the detection of breast cancer. And it provides a promising method for early diagnosis, monitoring, and staging of breast cancer.

Abstract
Paper-based biosensors are considered simple and cost-efficient sensing platforms for analytical tests and diagnostics. Here, a paper-based electrochemical biosensor was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of microRNAs (miRNA-155 and miRNA-21) related to early diagnosis of lung cancer. Hydrophobic barriers to creating electrode areas were manufactured by wax printing, whereas a three-electrode system was fabricated by a simple stencil approach. A carbon-based working electrode was modified using either reduced graphene oxide or molybdenum disulfide nanosheets modified with gold nanoparticle (AuNPs/RGO, AuNPs/MoS2) hybrid structures. The resulting paper-based biosensors offered sensitive detection of miRNA-155 and miRNA-21 by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in only 5.0 µL sample. The duration in our assay from the point of electrode modification to the final detection of miRNA was completed within only 35 min. The detection limits for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 were found to be 12.0 and 25.7 nM for AuNPs/RGO and 51.6 and 59.6 nM for AuNPs/MoS2 sensors in the case of perfectly matched probe-target hybrids. These biosensors were found to be selective enough to distinguish the target miRNA in the presence of single-base mismatch miRNA or noncomplementary miRNA sequences.

Abstract
Herein, we construct an ingenious spatially localized amplification reaction (SLAR) by colocalizing the entropy-driven reaction (EDR) in a nanometer space, which greatly accelerates target conversion and realizes the sensitive detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). A large number of EDR complex are hybridized with the prefabricated DNA scaffold via a DNA self-assembly strategy to form the SLAR nanoprobe. Target miRNA-21 triggers interval EDR along the long DNA scaffold, resulting in fluorescence recovery with high signal gain because of the fast release of reporter. Compared with reactions with diffusible components, spatial arrangement of all components of EDR on a nanoscale scaffold can increase the local concentration of reactants, accelerating the interaction between adjacent components, and can also avoid the influence of stochastic diffusion to reduce the unintentional binding interaction between further separated components. Therefore, this SLAR assay displayed an excellent analytical performance for miRNA-21 detection with a detection limit of 6 pM and showed good specificity in distinguishing miRNA-21 from similar miRNAs. In addition, the proposed assay has been experimentally demonstrated for estimation of miRNA-21 in MCF-7 and HeLa cells lysates, which exhibited great promise in the sensitive detection of biomarkers in early diagnosis.

Abstract
Single-particle electrochemical collision has gained great achievements in fundamental research, but it is challenging to use in practice on account of its low collision frequency and the interference of the complex matrix in actual samples. Here, magnetic separation and DNA walker amplification were integrated to build a robust and sensitive single-particle electrochemical biosensor. Magnetic nanobeads (MBs) can specifically capture and separate targets from complex samples, which not only ensures the anti-interference capability of this method but also avoids the aggregation of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) caused by numerous coexisting substances. A low amount of targets can lead to the release of more Pt NPs and the generation of more collision current transients, realizing cyclic amplification. Compared with simple hybridization, a DNA walker can improve the collision frequency by about 3-fold, greatly enhancing detection sensitivity, and a relationship between collision frequency and target concentration is used to realize quantification. The biosensor realized an ultrasensitive detection of 4.86 fM human immunodeficiency virus DNA (HIV-DNA), which is 1-4 orders of magnitude lower than that of traditional methods. The successful HIV-DNA detection in complex systems (serum and urine) demonstrated a great promising application in real samples and in the development of new single-entity biosensors.

Abstract
Traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (t-ELISA) method suffers from its relatively low sensitivity or accuracy in the detection of trace level of analyte in complicated samples. In this work, to extend the application of ELISA in practical samples, a newly electrochemical immunoassay (ECIA) was developed based on an enzyme-induced Cu2+/Cu+ conversion for the determination of ethyl carbamate (EC). Wherein, three rounds of signal transformation-the catalysis of ALP enzyme, the conversion of Cu2+/Cu+ and signal output of square wave voltammetry (SWV), can be realized to obtain higher sensitivity as compared to t-ELISA. The ECIA method combines the advantages of electrochemistry and ELISA, behaving superior detection performance, such as good selectivity, high sensitivity, and low background signal. For the wine samples, the method showed a linear detection range from 2.5 nM to 2.5 × 104 nM with a limit of detection of 2.28 nM (S/N = 3), which reveals that the ECIA sensor is a promising platform for the detection of trace level of EC in practical samples.

Abstract
In the present work, a paper-based electrode assemble was developed and implemented to detect target microRNA 155 (miRNA 155) via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. In this concept, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified paper based electrode assemble system (AuNP-PE) was designed, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and EIS measurements. The impedimetric detection of miRNA 155 was performed by measuring the fractional change at the charge transfer resistance (Rct). The detection limits were found as 33.8 nM in PBS and 93.4 nM in fetal bovine serum (FBS) medium, respectively. The selectivity of the proposed assay was tested against to non-complementary (NC) and mismatch (MM) miRNA sequences in the presence of mixture sample containing miRNA:NC (1:1) and miRNA:MM (1:1) in PBS (pH 7.40) or FBS. The analytical performance and the selectivity of impedimetric biosensor were also tested in FBS.

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.

Abstract
The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a public health emergency of international concern. There has been a surge in demand for COVID-19 diagnostic reagents, as timely detection of virus carriers is one of the most important components of disease prevention and control. Nucleic acid testing (NAT), with high sensitivity and specificity, is considered the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Therefore, more than 700 research units and companies have been devoted to developing NAT reagents. To date, nearly 600 research units and companies have claimed to have completed the development of NAT reagents. The use of these products has a positive effect on disease prevention and control; however, exaggerated claims and inadequate understanding of the products have led to improper access to reagents and equipment in clinics. This has resulted in chaos in the clinical diagnosis of COVID-19. Herein, we have overviewed the COVID-19 NAT products, including their principles, corresponding advantages and disadvantages, relevant circumstances for application, and respective roles in epidemic containment. Our comments may provide some references for assay developers and aid clinical staff in choosing the appropriate class of test from the different tests available.

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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding regulatory RNAs that play an important role in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. Since their dysregulation has been associated with Alzheimer disease, cardiovascular diseases and different types of cancer, among others, miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases. The methods commonly used to quantify miRNAs are, in general, complex, costly, with limited application for point-of-care devices or resource-limited facilities. Electrochemical biosensors, mainly those based on nanomaterials, have emerged as a promising alternative to the conventional miRNA detection methods and have paved the way to the development of sensitive, fast, and low-cost detection systems. This review is focused on the most relevant contributions performed in the field of electrochemical miRNAs biosensors between 2017 and the beginning of 2020. The main contribution of this article is the critical discussion of the different amplification strategies and the comparative analysis between amplified and non-amplified miRNA electrochemical biosensing and between the different amplification schemes. Particular emphasis was given to the importance of the nanostructures, enzymes, labelling molecules, and special sequences of nucleic acids or analogues on the organization of the different bioanalytical platforms, the transduction of the hybridization event and the generation the analytical signal.

Abstract
Multiple and sensitive detection of oncomiRs for accurate cancer diagnostics is still a challenge. Here, a synergetic amplification strategy was introduced by combining a MXene-based electrochemical signal amplification and a duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-based amplification system for rapid, attomolar and concurrent quantification of multiple microRNAs on a single platform in total plasma. Synthesized MXene-Ti3C2Tx modified with 5 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was casted on a dual screen-printed gold electrode to host vast numbers of DNA probes identically co-immobilized on dedicated electrodes. Interestingly, presence of MXene provided biofouling resistance and enhanced the electrochemical signals by almost 4 folds of magnitude, attributed to its specious surface area and remarkable charge mobility. The 5 nm AuNPs were perfectly distributed within the whole flaky architect of the MXene to give rise to the electrochemical performance of MXene and provide the thiol-Au bonding feature. This synergetic strategy reduced the DSN-based biosensors' assay time to 80 min, provided multiplexability, antifouling activity, substantial sensitivity and specificity (single mutation recognition). The limit of detection of the proposed biosensor for microRNA-21 and microRNA-141 was respectively 204 aM and 138 aM with a wide linear range from 500 aM to 50 nM. As a proof of concept, this newly-developed strategy was coupled with a 96-well adaptive sensing device to successfully profile three cancer plasma samples based on their altered oncomiR abundances.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive is a particularly aggressive type of the breast cancer. Because of the evidence has revealed that accurate HER2 status detection is crucial for prognosis and treatment strategy selection, great effort has been taken to develop assays for sensitive and accurate quantification of HER2. However, nonspecific amplification effect of most current assays limits the quantification accuracy of low abundance HER2. In the present work, we developed an LC-MS/MS-based quasi-targeted proteomics strategy coupled with hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for amplification of the HER2 protein signal. In the described strategy, the aptamer triggered the HCR system to undergo a cascade of hybridization events, with the two locked hairpins conjugated to the substrate peptide to form aptamer-HCR peptide probes. The membrane protein HER2 was recognized by probe and the signal was to be converted and then amplified into the mass response of the reporter peptide, which could be quantified using LC-MS/MS. The signal intensity was approximately five fold greater than that without signal amplification. Finally, the developed assay was applied for the quantitative analysis of HER2 in breast cell lines and monitor the dynamic change of HER2 in drug induced HER2 negative cells. The result demonstrated that combination of HCR signal amplification and mass spectrometry provides a novel approach for simple, accurate, and quantitative monitoring of low abundance protein.
