Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in women worldwide, and its incidence is increasing every year. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to improve the curability and prognosis of patients. However, existing detection methods often suffer from insufficient sensitivity and specificity, which limits their clinical application. Fortunately, the rapid development of nanotechnology offers new possibilities for diagnosing BC. For example, the unique physicochemical properties of gold nanomaterials (Au NMs), such as fascinating optical properties and quantum size effect, along with excellent biocompatibility and modifiability, enable them to manifest great potential in the field of biosensing, especially in the detection of BC biomarkers. Through fine surface modification and functionalization, Au NMs can accurately bind to specific antibodies, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules, thus achieving sensitive and precise detection of specific biomarkers. Here, we focus on the research progress of Au NMs as a key biosensing vector in BC biomarker detection. From four major perspectives of early diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, risk prediction, and bioimaging applications, we have thoroughly analyzed the broad application of Au NMs in BC biomarker detection and prospectively addressed its possible future trends. We hope this review will provide more comprehensive ideas for future researchers and promote the further development of this field.

[PMID: 38852341 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126376] [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: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) aptasensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a well-known biomarker for various cancer types, was reported, utilizing two different aptamers. To achieve this, a nanofilm of 4-mercaptophenyl was electrochemically attached to gold-coated QCM crystal surfaces via the reduction of 4-mercaptobenzenediazonium salt (4 MB-DAT) using cyclic voltammetry. Subsequently, gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were affixed to this structure, and then aptamers (antiCEA1 and antiCEA2) modified with SH-functional ends bound to AuNPs completed the modification. The analytical performance of the CEA sensor was evaluated through simultaneous QCM measurements employing CEA solutions ranging from 0.1 ng/mL to 25 ng/mL. The detection limit (LOD) for CEA was determined to be 102 pg/mL for antiCEA1 and 108 pg/mL for antiCEA2 aptamers. Interday and intraday precision and accuracy tests yielded maximum results of 4.3 and + 3.8, respectively, for both aptasensors, as measured by relative standard deviation (RSD%) and relative error (RE%). The kinetic data of the aptasensors resulted in affinity values (KD) of 0.43 ± 0.14 nM for antiCEA1 and 0.75 ± 0.42 nM for antiCEA2. These values were lower than the reported values of 3.9 nM and 37.8 nM for both aptamers, respectively. The selectivity of the aptasensor was evaluated by measuring the signal changes caused by alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), cancer antigen (CA-125), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-165) individually and together at a concentration of 500 ng/mL, resulting in a maximum 4.1 % change, which was comparable to precision and accuracy values reported in the literature. After confirming the selectivity of the aptamers, recovery experiments were conducted using spiked commercial serum samples to simulate real samples, and the lowest recovery value obtained was 95.4 %. It was determined that two different aptasensors could be successfully used for the QCM-based detection of CEA in this study.

Oliveira D, Carneiro MCCG, Moreira FTC. SERS biosensor with plastic antibodies for detection of a cancer biomarker protein. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:238. [PMID: 38570401 PMCID: PMC10991021 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06327-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful method for detecting breast cancer-specific biomarkers due to its extraordinary enhancement effects obtained by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in metallic nanostructures at hotspots. In this research, gold nanostars (AuNSs) were used as SERS probes to detect a cancer biomarker at very low concentrations. To this end, we combined molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as a detection layer with SERS for the detection of the biomarker CA 15-3 in point-of-care (PoC) analysis. This required two main steps: (i) the deposition of MIPs on a gold electrode, followed by a second step (ii) antibody binding with AuNSs containing a suitable Raman reporter to enhance Raman signaling (SERS). The MPan sensor was prepared by electropolymerization of the monomer aniline in the presence of CA 15-3. The template molecule was then extracted from the polymer using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). In parallel, a control material was prepared in the absence of the protein (NPan). Surface modification for the control was performed using electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The performance of the sensor was evaluated using the SERS technique, in which the MPan sensor is first incubated with the protein and then exposed to the SERS probe. Under optimized conditions, the device showed a linear response to CA 15-3 concentrations from 0.016 to 248.51 U mL-1 in a PBS buffer at pH 7.4 in 1000-fold diluted serum. Overall, this approach demonstrates the potential of SERS as an optical reader and opens a new avenue for biosensing applications.

Abstract
Prostate and lung cancers are the most common types of cancer and affect a large part of the population around the world, causing deaths. Therefore, the rapid identification of cancer can profoundly impact reducing cancer-related death rates and protecting human lives. Significant resources have been dedicated to investigating new methods for early disease detection. Cancer biomarkers encompass various biochemical entities, including nucleic acids, proteins, sugars, small metabolites, cytogenetic and cytokinetic parameters, and whole tumor cells in bodily fluids. These tools can be utilized for various purposes, such as risk assessment, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment efficacy, toxicity evaluation, and predicting a return. Due to these versatile and critical purposes, there are widespread studies on the development of new, sensitive, and selective approaches for the determination of cancer biomarkers. This review illustrates the significant lung and prostate cancer biomarkers and their determination utilizing electrochemical sensors, which have the advantage of improved sensitivity, low cost, and simple analysis. Additionally, approaches such as improving sensitivity with nanomaterials and ensuring selectivity with MIPs are used to increase the performance of the sensor. This review aims to overview the most recent electrochemical biosensor applications for determining vital biomarkers of prostate and lung cancers in terms of nanobiosensors and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based biosensors.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex pathophysiological condition causing millions of deaths each year. Early diagnosis is essential especially for pancreatic cancer. Existing diagnostic tools rely on circulating biomarkers such as Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA). Unfortunately, these markers are nonspecific and may be increased in a variety of disorders. Accordingly, diagnosis of pancreatic cancer generally involves more invasive approaches such as biopsy as well as imaging studies. Recent advances in biosensor technology have allowed the development of precise diagnostic tools having enhanced analytical sensitivity and specificity. Herein we examine these advances in the detection of cancer in general and in pancreatic cancer specifically. Furthermore, we highlight novel technologies in the measurement of CA19-9 and CEA and explore their future application in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Early-stage detection and diagnosis of diseases is essential to the prompt commencement of treatment regimens, curbing the spread of the disease, and improving human health. Thus, the accurate detection of disease biomarkers through the development of robust, sensitive, and selective diagnostic tools has remained cutting-edge scientific research for decades. Due to their merits of being selective, stable, simple, and having a low preparation cost, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are increasingly becoming artificial substitutes for natural receptors in the design of state-of-the-art sensing devices. While there are different MIP preparation approaches, electrochemical synthesis presents a unique and outstanding method for chemical sensing applications, allowing the direct formation of the polymer on the transducer as well as simplicity in tuning the film properties, thus accelerating the trend in the design of commercial MIP-based sensors. This review evaluates recent achievements in the applications of electrosynthesized MIP sensors for clinical analysis of disease biomarkers, identifying major trends and highlighting interesting perspectives on the realization of commercial MIP-endowed testing devices for rapid determination of prevailing diseases.

Abstract
Boronic Acid Sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability are of great importance for tumor diagnosis. Herein, we proposed a novel electrochemical and fluorescent dual-sensing strategy to detect carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA). To this end, monodisperse spindle-like magnetic copper silicate (FeOx@C@CS) was prepared with multiple active sites to immobilize the CEA antibody. Moreover, magnetic properties improved the anti-interference ability and sensitivity to endow the assay for complex samples. In addition, boronic acid-conjugated gold nanocluster (AuNCs@keratin-BA) was prepared as an electrochemical and fluorescent dual-signal indicator. Thus, the sandwich structure of FeOx@C@CS/CEA/AuNCs@keratin-BA was formed for electrochemical/fluorescent dual-modality assay. Under optimal conditions, the quantitation range of 12.5 fg mL-1-37.5 pg mL-1 and detection limit of 4.3 fg mL-1 were obtained for the electrochemical strategy. The fluorescence detection owned the linear range of 0.05 pg mL-1-7.5 pg mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.025 pg mL-1. Dual-modality assay improved the accuracy and efficiency of CEA detection to meet the requirement of tumor diagnosis, while chemical identification and signal transduction lay an important foundation for engineering advanced nanomaterials for clinical applications.

Abstract
Silver nanocubes monolayer-modified polydimethylsiloxane (Ag NC/PDMS) flexible SERS substrates have been prepared by a three-phase interface self-assembly procedure. The combination of this method with membrane technology brings nanoparticles in close proximity, densely, and regularly arranged in monolayers over a large area, leading to excellent SERS properties. Considering the complexity of practical detection, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were anchored on the surface of SERS substrate and applied to selective detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR). It is worth mentioning that the SERS imprinted membranes (AP-MIMs) were still clearly detected at a concentration of 0.1 µg·L-1 of MC-LR in drinking water, and the detection limit was as low as 0.0067 µg·L-1. The substrate exhibited excellent uniformity with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 6.1%. In the presence of interference molecules, AP-MIMs exhibited excellent selectivity for MC-LR. Furthermore, in the spiking and recovery tests of practical lake water samples, the method showed excellent recoveries ranging from 96.47 to 105.31%. It has been demonstrated that the prepared AP-MIMs can be applied to sensitive and specific detection of trace amounts of MC-LR in drinking water.

Abstract
Designing new biochemical sensors and achieving selectivity and high-sensitivity analysis is one of main research directions for immunoassays. Herein, a liposome-amplification photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay was developed using ultrathin mesoporous bismuth chloride oxide nanosheets (BiOCl MSCN) for the highly selective and sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Based on good photocurrent response of BiOCl MSCN toward dopamine, a liposome-conjugated secondary antibody loaded with dopamine was added for specific recognition in the presence of CEA. After the lysis treatment, the liberated dopamine was injected into the three-electrode electrolytic cell to enhance the photocurrent of BiOCl MSCN. Under the optimized conditions, the constructed liposome-mediated PEC immunoassay showed high sensitivity against CEA, with a dynamic response in the linear range of 0.05 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 35 pg mL-1. The present study proposes a new approach to the liposome-mediated PEC immunoassay constructed on ultrathin mesoporous BiOCl nanosheets, which can be used to target further the study of the sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an ultra-sensitive vibration spectroscopy technology, with the advantages of multi-index and non-destructive quantitative detection, has attracted much attention in the joint detection of biomarkers. A novel SERS biosensor with multisite capture and interference-free quantification was designed for the joint detection of the sepsis biomarker interleukin-6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin (PCT). This biosensor had two interference-free core-shell SERS probes with highly efficient electromagnetic enhancement and a multisite functionalized magnetic nanomaterial with high adsorption capacity. They formed sandwich structure with the targets through boronic affinity and immunoreaction, and the multi-target quantitative analysis of biomarkers in serum was performed using a portable Raman spectrometer in the Raman-silent region. The SERS biosensor was exhibited highly sensitive with detection limits of 0.584 and 2.99 pg/mL for IL-6 and PCT, respectively. In addition, it exhibited excellent selectivity and specificity even with the interference of other proteins. As this SERS method showed excellent performance in the detection of sepsis, it has great potential for multi-index detection in clinical diagnosis of major diseases.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and monitoring are essential for the effective treatment and survival of patients with different types of malignancy. To this end, the accurate and sensitive determination of substances in human biological fluids related to cancer diagnosis and/or prognosis, i.e., cancer biomarkers, is of ultimate importance. Advancements in the field of immunodetection and nanomaterials have enabled the application of new transduction approaches for the sensitive detection of single or multiple cancer biomarkers in biological fluids.

[PMID: 36963151 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124461] [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: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
Early diagnosis of colorectal cancer can significantly improve the overall survival rate of patients, thus selective and sensitive detection of biomarkers in serum samples is vital for early detection and dynamic monitoring of cancer. Nucleoside diphosphate kinase NM23-H2 (NDKB) is an important biomarker and therapeutic target for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, a label-free and ultrasensitive biosensor for NDKB protein markers is presented for the first time, combining the characteristic capture selectivity of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and the ultrasensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technique. The imprinted cavity serves as the only channel for Raman reporter to approach the SERS substrate, providing highly complementary non-covalent binding sites that selectively capture the target protein based on ionic, hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions. Specific recognition of the NDKB protein will perfectly fill the imprinted cavity, which makes it difficult for the Raman reporter to get close to the SERS substrate, and the Raman signal decreases significantly, while the proteins of other structural sizes can not match the imprinted cavity. Through the change of the Raman signal, the proposed biosensor can realize the ultra-sensitive detection of NDKB, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.82 pg/mL. Compared with the traditional immunoassay technology, this combined approach with the advantages of low cost, fast response, high sensitivity and selectivity, provides clinical application potential for the early diagnosis of CRC.

Abstract
Protein assays with fingerprints and high sensitivity are essential for biomedical research and applications. However, the prevailing methods mainly rely on indirect or labeled immunoassays, failing to provide fingerprint information. Herein, we report a dual biomimetic recognition-driven plasmonic nanogap-enhanced Raman scattering (DBR-PNERS) strategy for ultrasensitive protein fingerprinting and quantitation. A pair of molecularly imprinted nanoantennas were rationally engineered for specifically trapping a target protein into well-defined plasmonic nanogaps through dual-terminal recognition for ultrahigh Raman signal amplification. Meanwhile, a Raman-active small molecule was embedded into the nanoantenna as an internal standard to provide a ratiometric assay for robust quantitation. DBR-PNERS exhibited several significant merits over existing approaches, including fingerprinting, ultrahigh sensitivity, quantitation robustness, speed, sample consumption, and so on. Therefore, it can be a promising tool for a protein assay and holds a great perspective in important applications.

Abstract
Monitoring the levels of cancer biomarkers is essential for cancer diagnosis and evaluation. In this study, a novel sandwich type sensing platform based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology was developed for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.258 ng/mL. In order to achieve sensitive detection of CEA in complex samples, gold nanoparticle monolayer modified with CEA antibodies and with aptamer-functionalized probes was fabricated to target CEA. Two gold layers were integrated into the SERS platform, which greatly enhanced the signal of the probe by generating tremendous "hot spots". Meanwhile, the intensity ratio of Raman probes and the second-order peak of the silicon wafer was used to achieve dynamic calibration of the Raman probe signal. Excitingly, this sensing platform was capable of distinguishing cancer patients from healthy individuals via CEA concentrations in blood samples with the accuracy of 100%. This sandwich structure SERS sensing platform presented promising potential to be an alternative tool for clinical biomarker detection in the field of cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Cancer has been one of the most prevalent diseases around the world for many years. Its biomarkers are biological molecules found in the blood or other body fluids of people with cancer diseases. These biomarkers play a crucial role not only in the diagnosis of cancer diseases, but also in risk assessment, selection of treatment methods, and tracking its progress. Therefore, highly sensitive and selective detection and determination of cancer biomarkers are essential from the perspective of oncological diagnostics and planning the treatment process. Immunosensors are special types of biosensors that are based on the recognition of an analyte (antigen) by an antibody. Sandwich immunosensors apply two antibodies: a capture antibody and a detection antibody, with the antigen ‘sandwiched’ between them. Immunosensors’ advantages include not only high sensitivity and selectivity, but also flexible application and reusability. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, known also as the sensitive and selective method, uses the enhancement of light scattering by analyte molecules adsorbed on a nanostructured surface. The combination of immunosensors with the SERS technique further improves their analytical parameters. In this article, we followed the recent achievements in the field of sandwich SERS immunosensors for cancer biomarker detection and/or determination.

Abstract
Optical biosensors are rapid, real-time, and portable, have a low detection limit and a high sensitivity, and have a great potential for diagnosing various types of cancer. Optical biosensors can detect cancer in a few million malignant cells, in comparison to conventional diagnosis techniques that use 1 billion cells in tumor tissue with a diameter of 7 nm-10 nm. Current cancer detection methods are also costly, inconvenient, complex, time consuming, and require technical specialists. This review focuses on recent advances in optical biosensors for early detection of cancer. It is primarily concerned with advancements in the design of various biosensors using resonance, scattering, chemiluminescence, luminescence, interference, fluorescence, absorbance or reflectance, and various fiber types. The development of various two-dimensional materials with optical properties such as biocompatibility, field enhancement, and a higher surface-to-volume ratio, as well as advancements in microfabrication technologies, have accelerated the development of optical sensors for early detection of cancer and other diseases. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy technology has the potential to detect a single molecule with high specificity, and terahertz waves are a recently explored technology for cancer detection. Due to the low electromagnetic interference, small size, multiplexing, and remote sensing capabilities of optical fiber-based platforms, they may be a driving force behind the rapid development of biosensors. The advantages and disadvantages of existing and future optical biosensor designs for cancer detection are discussed in detail. Additionally, a prospect for future advancements in the development of optical biosensors for point-of-care and clinical applications is highlighted.

Abstract
Highly specific novel glycopeptide-based fluorescent molecularly imprinting polymers (g-FMIPs) were constructed to recognize and determine the target glycoprotein in complex biological samples. The glycopeptide of ovalbumin (OVA), with the unique structural characteristics of glycan and peptide, and potential application in improving the specificity recognition of g-FMIPs, was selected as the template molecule. The nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were introduced for fluorescence response. The obtained g-FMIPs possessed rapid binding kinetics and high adsorption capacity. Notably, the g-FMIPs exhibited remarkable selectivity and sensitivity with a high imprinting factor of 6.57, good linearity of 0.625 - 5.00 μM, and limit of detection of 0.208 μM. After treatment with g-FMIPs, the concentration of OVA in eluted solution was 1.07 μM. The obtained recoveries at 1.43 μM, 2.86 μM, and 4.29 μM spiked concentrations were 97.2%, 93.5%, and 101%, respectively, and the relative standard deviations were 2.6%, 4.2%, and 1.1%, respectively. In summary, the proposed strategy will expand the MIPs construction method and its application prospects in precision recognition and sensitive detection of trace glycoproteins from complex biosamples.

Abstract
The use of a macromolecularly functional monomer and crosslinker (MFM) to stabilize and imprint a template protein is a new method to construct high-recognition protein-imprinted materials. In this study, for the first time, a "specially designed" block MFM with both "functional capability" and "crosslinking capability" segments was synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization and used to fabricate bovine serum albumin (BSA)-imprinted microspheres (SiO2@MPS@MIPs-MFM) by the surface imprinting strategy. Results from circular dichroic spectrum experiments reflected that the block MFM could maintain the natural form of BSA, whereas its corresponding and equivalent micromolecularly functional monomer (MIM) seriously destroyed the secondary structure of proteins. Batch rebinding experiments showed that the maximum adsorption capacity and imprinting factor of SiO2@MPS@MIPs-MFM reached 314.9 mg g-1 and 4.02, which were significantly superior to that of MIM-based imprinted materials. In addition, since the crosslinking capability segments in block MFM involved zwitterionic functional groups with a protein-repelling effect, SiO2@MPS@MIPs-MFM showed better specific rebinding ability than the imprinted material prepared by MFM without this component. Besides, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed that the shell thickness of SiO2@MPS@MIPs-MFM was approximately 15 nm, and such a thin imprinted layer ensured its rapid adsorption equilibrium (120 min). As a result, SiO2@MPS@MIPs-MFM revealed fantastic selectivity and recognition ability in a mixed protein solution and could efficiently extract BSA from biological samples of bovine calf serum. The proposal of block MFM enriched the options and designability of monomers in protein imprinting technology, thereby laying a foundation for developing high-performance protein-imprinted materials.

Abstract
The use of nanofibers creates the ability for non-enzymatic sensing in various applications and greatly improves the sensitivity, speed, and accuracy of electrochemical sensors for a wide variety of analytes. The high surface area to volume ratio of the fibers as well as their high porosity, even when compared to other common nanostructures, allows for enhanced electrocatalytic, adsorptive, and analyte-specific recognition mechanisms. Nanofibers have the potential to rival and replace materials used in electrochemical sensing. As more types of nanofibers are developed and tested for new applications, more consistent and refined selectivity experiments are needed. We applied this idea in a review of interferant control experiments and real sample analyses. The goal of this review is to provide guidelines for acceptable nanofiber sensor selectivity experiments with considerations for electrocatalytic, adsorptive, and analyte-specific recognition mechanisms. The intended presented review and guidelines will be of particular use to junior researchers designing their first control experiments, but could be used as a reference for anyone designing selectivity experiments for non-enzymatic sensors including nanofibers. We indicate the importance of testing both interferants in complex media and mechanistic interferants in the selectivity analysis of newly developed nanofiber sensor surfaces.

Abstract
The development of high-performance protein-imprinted materials is vital to meet the requirements of proteomics research but remains a challenge. Herein, a new type of raspberry-like cytochrome C-imprinted nanoparticle was first designed and fabricated via surface imprinting technology combined with a template immobilization strategy. In particular, the state-of-the-art metal-organic framework (MOF)/carbon nanoparticle (CN) composites were selected as protein immobilization carriers for two advantages: (1) the composites reflected the intrinsic characteristics of MOFs including flexible design, facile preparation, and extensive interactions with proteins and (2) the utilization of composites also overcame the issue associated with the severe agglomeration of individual MOFs during the post-use process. Therefore, the as-prepared composites exhibited a regular raspberry-like shape with good dispersion (polydispersity index (PDI) < 0.25), high specific surface area (551.4 m2 g-1), and outstanding cytochrome C immobilization capacity (900 mg g-1). Furthermore, a zwitterionic monomer was chosen to participate in the synthesis of an imprinting layer to reduce the nonspecific binding with proteins. As a result, the unique design presented here in both the protein immobilization carrier and the selected polymer composition endowed the imprinted material (noted as CN@UIO-66@MIPs) with the excellent ability for cytochrome C enrichment with extremely high recognition ability (imprinting factor (IF) = 6.1), rapid adsorption equilibrium time (40 min), and large adsorption capacity (815 mg g-1). Furthermore, encouraged by the experimental results, we successfully used CN@UIO-66@MIPs to specifically capture cytochrome C in mixed protein solutions and biological samples, which proved them to be a potential candidate for protein separation and purification.

Abstract
Owing to the high sensitivity, fast responsiveness and high specificity, immunoassays using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as the readout signal displayed great potential in disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a SERS-immunoassay method for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG). Upon involving well-ordered AuA on a SERSIA substrate, the LSPR effect was further enhanced to generate a strong and uniform Raman signal through the formation of sandwich structure with the addition of target HIgG and SERSIA tag. Optimization of the assay provided a wide linear range (0.1–200 μg mL−1) and low limit of detection (0.1 μg mL−1). In addition, the SERS-immunoassay method displayed excellent specificity and was homogeneous, which guaranteed the practical use of this method in the quantitative detection of HIgG. To validate this assay, human serum was analysed, which demonstrated the potential advantages of SERS-immunoassay technology in clinical diagnostics. An AuNP array coated substrate was developed for the SERS-immunoassay detection of human immunoglobulin G.![]()

Abstract
Great efforts have been made to search for highly active catalysts toward electrochemical water splitting, but double-signal immunosensors have not been reported based on bifunctional water splitting electrocatalysts. We report here a dual-signal electrochemical immunosensor for detecting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-cobalt phosphide (CoP) as an electrocatalytic label. The preparation of MWCNTs-CoP involves the growth of Co3O4 nanoparticles on MWCNTs and low-temperature phosphatization of Co3O4 nanoparticles. The MWCNTs-CoP catalyst shows excellent electrocatalytic activities in a neutral medium toward both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), enabling MWCNTs-CoP as the electrocatalytic label for sensitive immunosensing. The linear range of the sandwich-type immunosensor for detecting CEA based on the HER signal is from 10-4-100 ng mL-1, whereas a linear range for detecting CEA based on the OER signal is achieved from 10-4 to 10 ng mL-1. The detection limits for detecting CEA using HER and OER signals are 10 and 12 fg mL-1, respectively. This work can provide a new double-signal immunosensing platform based on a bifunctional water splitting electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) are known as one of the most common tumor markers. Their facile and affordable detection is critical for early diagnosis of malignant tumors, especially in resource-constrained settings. Here, we report a novel multimer-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor for a specific CEA assay. The aptasensor is fabricated through aptamer-assisted self-assembly of silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs), and the self-assembled multimeric structure possesses abundant hot-spots to provide high SERS response. When CEA is introduced, the specific recognition of CEA by aptamers will lead to the disassembly of Au@Ag multimers due to the lack of a bridging aptamer between Au@Ag NPs. As a result, the number of hot-spots in the multimeric system is decreased, and the intensity at 1585 cm-1 of the SERS reporter (4-mercaptobenzoic acid, 4-MBA) on the surface of NPs will also be decreased. The Raman intensity is proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of CEA. The detection sensitivity can be down to the pg mL-1 level. The analytical method only needs a droplet of 2 μL of sample, and the detection time is less than 20 min. The multimer-based SERS aptasensor can be applied in sensitive and inexpensive detection of CEA in serum samples.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful and high-speed detection technology. It provides information on molecular fingerprint recognition with ultrahigh sensitive detection. However, it shows poor anti-interference capacity against complex matrices. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can achieve specific recognition of targets from complex matrices. Through introducing the MIP separation system, the MIP-SERS chemical sensor can effectively overcome the limitation of complex matrix interference, and further improve the stability of sensors for detection. Herein, the materials and structures of integrated MIP-SERS sensors are systematically reviewed, and its application as a sensor for chemical detection of hazardous substances in environmental and food samples has been addressed as well. To broaden the prospects of application, we have discussed the current challenges and future perspectives that would accelerate the development of versatile MIP-SERS chemical sensors.

Abstract
This work describes an electrochemical sensor with a biomimetic plastic antibody film for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, an important biomarker in colorectal cancer), integrated in the electrical circuit of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), working in passive mode and used herein as power supply and signal transducer. In detail, the sensing layer for CEA consisted of a Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide (FTO) conductive glass substrate - connected to the negative pole side of the DMFC - with a conductive poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) layer and a polypyrrol (PPy) molecularly-imprinted polymer (MIP), assembled in-situ. This sensing element is then closed using a cover FTO-glass, hold in place with a clip, connected to the positive side of the DMFC. When compared with control DMFCs, the power curves of DMFC/Sensor integrated system showed decreased power values due to the MIP layer interfaced in the electrical circuit, also displaying high stability signals. The DMFC/Sensor was further calibrated at room temperature, in different medium (buffer, a synthetic physiological fluid model and Cormay® serum), showing linear responses over a wide concentration range, with a limit of detection of 0.08 ng/mL. The DMFC/Sensor presented sensitive data, with linear responses from 0.1 ng/mL to 100 μg/mL and operating well in the presence of human serum. Overall, the results obtained evidenced the possibility of using a DMFC as a transducing element in an electrochemical sensor, confirming the sensitive and selective readings of the bio (sensing) imprinted film. This integration paves the way towards fully autonomous electrochemical devices, in which the integration of the sensor inside the fuel cell may be a subsequent direction.

Abstract
An overview of noteworthy new methods of biomarker determination based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is presented. Biomarkers can be used to identify the occurrence and development of diseases, which furthers the understanding of biological processes in the body. Accurate detection of a disease-specific biomarker is helpful for the identification, early diagnosis and prevention of a disease and for monitoring during treatment. The search for and discovery of valuable biomarkers have become important research hotspots. Different diseases have different biomarkers, some of which are involved in metabolic processes. Therefore, the fingerprint characteristics and band intensities in SERS spectra have been used to identify metabolites and analyze markers. As a promising technique, SERS has been widely used for the quantitative and qualitative determination of different types of biomarkers for different diseases. SERS techniques provide new technologies for the diagnosis of disease-related markers and determining the basis for clinical treatment. Herein, several SERS-based methods with excellent sensitivity and selectivity for the determination of biomarkers for tumors, viruses, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiac muscle tissue injury, and cell activity are highlighted.

Abstract
A novel label-free and exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted signal amplification electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for the determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) via magnetic field-induced self-assembly of magnetic biocomposites (Fe3O4@Au NPs-S1-S2-S3). The magnetic biocomposites were acquired by modifying double-stranded DNA (S1-S2-S3) on the surface of Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au NPs). Among them, Fe3O4@Au NPs were used as carriers for magnetic separation, thiolated single-stranded DNA (S1) provided signal sequence, CEA aptamer (S2) worked as a recognition element, and complementary strand (S3) was used to form double strands. In the presence of CEA, S2 bonded with CEA competitively; the exposed S1 could not be cleaved since Exo III was inactive against ssDNA. The G-quadruplex/hemin complexes finally formed with the existence of K+, and the high electrochemical signal of G-quadruplex/hemin complexes was recorded by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at - 0.6 V. Conversely, in the absence of CEA, dsDNA was cleaved from the 3' blunt end by Exo III; the disappearance of G-rich sequence blocked the generation of the signal. This method exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity for the determination of CEA; the linear range was from 0.1 to 200 ng mL-1 and the limit of detection was 0.4 pg mL-1. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
We report here CdS quantum-dots (QDs)-decorated V2O5 nanosheets as high-performance and chemically etchable photoelectric active materials for constructing a photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay platform. CdS QDs-decorated V2O5 nanosheets as new photoelectric materials can show superior photocurrent to V2O5 nanosheets and CdS QDs under visible-light irradiation because of the promoted photogenerated electron-hole separation and the increased visible-light absorption. V2O5 nanosheets can be etched by ascorbic acid (AA) because of the reduction of V2O5 to V4+, and the photocurrent of CdS/V2O5-nanocomposite-modified indium tin oxide electrode decreases significantly after being etched by AA. Inspired by this phenomenon, a PEC immunoassay platform is constructed for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection by using CdS/V2O5 nanocomposite as the photoelectric material and AA-encapsulated liposome immunonanocapsules as labels. The linear detection range for detecting CEA is from 0.5 pg mL-1 to 1 ng mL-1, with a limit of detection of 0.1 pg mL-1. The proposed method also shows good selectivity, excellent reproducibility, and satisfactory recovery in detection of CEA in human serum samples. We believe that this work will lay the foundation for the future development of V2O5-based materials for PEC analysis, and also provide a reasonable design and implementation for the development of PEC immunoassay.

Abstract
In recent years, several types of optical sensors have been probed for their aptitude in healthcare biosensing, making their applications in biomedical diagnostics a rapidly evolving subject. Optical sensors show versatility amongst different receptor types and even permit the integration of different detection mechanisms. Such conjugated sensing platforms facilitate the exploitation of their neoteric synergistic characteristics for sensor fabrication. This paper covers nearly 250 research articles since 2016 representing the emerging interest in rapid, reproducible and ultrasensitive assays in clinical analysis. Therefore, we present an elaborate review of biomedical diagnostics with the help of optical sensors working on varied principles such as surface plasmon resonance, localised surface plasmon resonance, evanescent wave fluorescence, bioluminescence and several others. These sensors are capable of investigating toxins, proteins, pathogens, disease biomarkers and whole cells in varied sensing media ranging from water to buffer to more complex environments such as serum, blood or urine. Hence, the recent trends discussed in this review hold enormous potential for the widespread use of optical sensors in early-stage disease prediction and point-of-care testing devices.
