Abstract
The fast spread and severe consequences of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have once again underscored the critical necessity of early detection of viral infections. Several serology-based techniques, including as point-of-care assays and high-throughput enzyme immunoassays that support the diagnosis of COVID-19 are utilized in the detection and identification of coronaviruses. A rapid, precise, simple, affordable, and adaptable diagnostic tool is required for controlling COVID-19 as well as for outbreak management, since the calculation and monitoring of viral loads are crucial for predicting the infection stage and recovery time. Nowadays, the most popular method for diagnosing COVID-19 is reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, and chest computed tomography (CT) scans are also used to determine the disease's phases. This is all because of the fact that RT-PCR method caries with itself a number of downsides comprising of being immovable, expensive, and laborious. RT-PCR has not well proven to be capable of detection on the very early infection stages. Nanomaterial-based diagnostics, together with traditional clinical procedures, have a lot of promise against COVID-19. It is worthy of attention that nanotechnology has the mainstay capacity for purposes of developing even more modern stratagems fighting COVID-19 by means of focusing on state-of-the-art diagnostics. What we have centered on in this review, is bringing out even more efficient detection techniques whereby nanobiosensors are employed so that we might obstruct any further development and spreading of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Bacteria infections pose a serious threat to public health, and it is urgent to develop facile and accurate detection methods. To meet the important need, a potable and high-sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor based on aptamer recognition and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) signal amplification was proposed for point-of-care detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The SERS biosensor contains three parts: recognition probes, SERS sensing chip, and SERS tags. The feasibility of the strategy was verified by gel electrophoresis, and the one-step test route was optimized. The bacteria SERS biosensor has a good linear relationship ranging from 10 to 107 CFU mL-1 with high sensitivity low to 5 CFU mL-1, and shows excellent specificity, uniformity, and repeatability on S. aureus identification and enumeration, which can distinguish S. aureus from other bacteria. The SERS biosensor shows a good recovery rate (95.73 %-109.65 %) for testing S. aureus spiked in milk, and has good practicability for detecting S. aureus infected mouse wound, which provides a facile and reliable approach for detection of trace bacteria in the real samples.

Abstract
A triple signal amplification strategy was integrated with a built-in double electrode and external energy storage device to fabricate a novel self-powered biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21. Specifically, DNA tetrahedra and haripin2-glucose oxidase are modified on the surface of the biocathode and bioanode by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) to achieve dual signal amplification. Moreover, triple signal amplification is realized by including an external capacitor. Consequently, the as-constructed self-powered biosensor demonstrates a low detection limit of 0.06 fM toward the miRNA-21 assay within the range of 0.1 fM to 10 pM. This study presents a practical and sensitive approach to timely cancer detection.

Abstract
Exosomes have emerged as a promising noninvasive biomarker for early cancer diagnosis due to their ability to carry specific bioinformation related to cancer cells. However, accurate detection of trace amount of cancer-derived exosomes in complex blood remains a significant challenge. Herein, an ultra-highly sensitive SERS sensor, powered by the branched hybridization chain reaction (bHCR) and tetrahedral DNA-based trivalent aptamer (triApt-TDN), has been proposed for precise detection of cancer-derived exosomes. Taking gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells-derived exosomes as a test model, the triApt-TDNs were constructed by conjugating aptamers specific to mucin 1 (MUC1) protein with tetrahedral DNAs and subsequently immobilized on the surface of silver nanorods (AgNRs) arrays to create SERS-active sensing chips capable of specifically capturing exosomes overexpressing MUC1 proteins. The bHCR was further initiated by the trigger aptamers (tgApts) bound to exosomes, and as a result the SERS tags were assembled into AuNP network structures with abundant SERS hotspots. By optimizing the sensing conditions, the SERS sensor showed good performance in ultra-highly sensitive detection of target exosomes within 60 min detection time, with a broad response ranging of 1.44 to 1.44 × 104 particles·μL-1 and an ultralow limit of detection capable of detecting a single exosome in 2 μL sample. Furthermore, the SERS sensor exhibited good uniformity, repeatability and specificity, and capability to distinguish between gastric cancer (GC) patients and healthy controls (HC) through the detection of exosomes in clinical human serums, indicating its promising clinical potential for early diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Research on self-assembled deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nanostructures with different shapes, sizes, and functions has recently made rapid progress owing to its biocompatibility, programmability, and stability. Among these, triangular unit-based DNA nanostructures, which are typically multi-arm DNA tiles, have been widely applied because of their unique structural rigidity, spatial flexibility, and cell permeability. Triangular unit-based DNA nanostructures are folded from multiple single-stranded DNA using the principle of complementary base pairing. Its shape and size can be determined using pre-set scaffold strands, segmented base complementary regions, and sequence lengths. The resulting DNA nanostructures retain the desired sequence length to serve as binding sites for other molecules and obtain satisfactory results in molecular recognition, spatial orientation, and target acquisition. Therefore, extensive research on triangular unit-based DNA nanostructures has shown that they can be used as powerful tools in the biosensing field to improve specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Over the past few decades, various design strategies and assembly techniques have been established to improve the stability, complexity, functionality, and practical applications of triangular unit-based DNA nanostructures in biosensing. In this review, we introduce the structural design strategies and principles of typical triangular unit-based DNA nanostructures, including triangular, tetrahedral, star, and net-shaped DNA. We then summarize the functional properties of triangular unit-based DNA nanostructures and their applications in biosensing. Finally, we critically discuss the existing challenges and future trends.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of multiple targets is of great significance for accurate disease diagnosis. Herein, based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) assisted signal amplification and the toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR), we constructed an electrochemical biosensor with high sensitivity and high specificity for dual-target detection. MiRNA-141 and miRNA-133a were used as the targets, and ferrocene (Fc) and methylene blue (MB) with significant peak potential differentiation were used as the electrochemical signal probes. The elaborately designed hairpin probe H1, which was fixed on the electrode surface, could be hybridized with the target miRNA-141 to perform signal amplification by the DSN-assisted enzyme cleavage cycle; thus, miRNA-141 could be detected by Fc signal changes at 0.41 V. The hairpin H1 can also combine with the MB-labeled signal probe (SP) output from miRNA-133a-induced TSDR, and the detection of miRNA-133a can be realized according to the response signal generated by MB at -0.26 V. The two sensing lines are independent of each other, and there is no mutual interference in the detection process. Therefore, two independent detection lines could be connected in series, and the simultaneous detection of two targets can be achieved on a single electrode. This novel detection strategy provides a new way to simultaneously detect different biomarkers.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a widespread contaminant in food and feeds, poses a threat to the health of animals and humans. Consequently, it is significant to develop a rapid, precise and highly sensitive analytical method for the detection of AFB1. Herein, we developed an immunochromatographic strip (ICS) based on a tetrahedral DNA (TDN) immunoprobe for AFB1 determination in rice bran oil. Three sizes of TDN immunoprobes (AuNP-TDN13bp-mAb, AuNP-TDN17bp-mAb, AuNP-TDN26bp-mAb) were constructed, and the performance of these three immunoprobes, including the effective antibody labeling density and immunoaffinity, was measured and compared with that of the immunoprobe (AuNP-mAb) developed using the physical adsorption method. Subsequently, the optimal TDN immunoprobe, namely AuNP-TDN13bp-mAb, was selected to prepare the immunochromatographic strip (ICS) for the qualitative and quantitative detection of AFB1 in rice bran oil. The visual limits of detection (vLODs) of the ICS based on AuNP-TDN13bp-mAb and AuNP-mAb were 0.2 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL, with scanning quantitative limits (sLOQs) of 0.13 ng/mL and 1.4 ng/mL, respectively. The ICS demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.02 ng/mL to 0.5 ng/mL, with good specificity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, and stability. Moreover, a high consistency was observed between the constructed ICS and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) in the quantification of AFB1. The results indicated that the introduction of TDN was beneficial for promoting efficient antibody labeling, protecting the bioactivity of immunoprobes, and increasing the sensitivity of detection, which would provide new perspectives for the achievement of the highly sensitive detection of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Anti-cancer therapy is crucial in cancer prevention and anti-cancer, and thus, highly sensitive methods for detecting cancer biomarkers are essential for cancer early diagnosis. Herein, an electrochemical aptamer biosensor based on the CRISPR-Cas12a system was constructed for the detection of cancer tumor biomarker MUC1 mucin. The sensitivity was significantly prompted by enzyme-catalyzed signal amplification, and the selectivity was improved by the dual recognition of the aptamer to MUC1 and crRNA-Cas12a system to the aptamer. Glucose oxidase (GOD) was loaded on the surface of magnetic Fe3O4@Au (MGNP) via probe single-stranded DNA (pDNA) with the terminal modification of mercapto (-SH) to form GOD-pDNA/MGNP. The corresponding aptamer of MUC1 (MUC1 Apt) binds to its complementary ssDNA (cDNA) to form the activator Apt/cDNA, which is specifically recognized by crRNA-Cas12a and excites the trans-cleavage function of Cas12a, thus in turn trans-cleaves pDNA and detaches GOD from the magnetic particles. The magnetic beads were separated and transferred into a glucose solution, and the oxidation current of H2O2 produced by the catalytic reaction of GOD was measured on a Pt-modified magnetically-controlled glassy carbon electrode, resulting in an indirect determination of MUC1. The current change was linear with the logarithm of MUC1 concentration in the range from 1.0 × 10-17 g mL-1 to 1.0 × 10-10 g mL-1. The detection limit was as low as 7.01 × 10-18 g mL-1. The method was applied for the detection of MUC1 in medical samples.

Abstract
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is known as the cancer of citrus, where Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) is the most prevalent strain causing HLB. In this study, we report a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the highly sensitive detection of the CLas outer membrane protein (Omp) gene by coupling rolling circle amplification (RCA) with a CRISPR/Cas12a-responsive smart DNA hydrogel. In the presence of the target, a large number of amplicons are generated through RCA. The amplicons activate the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a through hybridizing with crRNA, triggering the response of smart DNA hydrogel to release the encapsulated AuAg nanoclusters (AuAg NCs) on the electrode and therefore leading to a decreased ECL signal. The ECL intensity change (I0 - I) is positively correlated with the concentration of the target in the range 50 fM to 5 nM, with a limit of detection of 40 fM. The performance of the sensor has also been evaluated with 10 samples of live citrus leaves (five HLB negative and five HLB positive), and the result is in excellent agreement with the gold standard qPCR result. The sensing strategy has expanded the ECL versatility for detecting varying levels of dsDNA or ssDNA in plants with high sensitivity.

Abstract
This research proposes a highly sensitive and simple surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA using suitably designed probes specific for RdRp and N viral genes attached to a Raman marker. The sensitivity of the assay was optimized through precise adjustments to the conditions of immobilization and hybridization processes of the target RNA, including modifications to factors such as time and temperature. The assay achieved a remarkable sensitivity down to 58.39 copies/mL, comparable to or lower than the sensitivities reported for commercial fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based methods. It has good selectivity in discriminating SARS-CoV-2 RNA against other respiratory viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and influenza A virus. The reliability of the assay was validated by testing 24 clinical samples, including 12 positive samples with varying cycle threshold (Ct) values and 12 negative samples previously tested using real-time PCR. The assay consistently predicted true results that were in line with the PCR results for all samples. Furthermore, the assay demonstrated a notable limit of detection (LOD) of Ct (38 for RdRp gene and 37.5 for N-gene), indicating its capability to detect low concentrations of the target analyte and potentially facilitating early detection of the pathogen.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgent need for rapid and reliable strategies for early detection of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we propose a DNA nanosphere-based crosslinking catalytic hairpin assembly (CCHA) system for the rapid and sensitive SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection. The CCHA system employs two DNA nanospheres functionalized with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) hairpins. The presence of target SARS-CoV-2 RNA initiated the crosslinking of DNA nanospheres via CHA process, leading to the amplification of fluorescence signals. As a result, the speed of SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis was enhanced by significantly increasing the local concentration of the reagents in a crosslinked DNA product, leading to a detection limit of 363 fM within 5 min. The robustness of this system has been validated in complex environments, such as fetal bovine serum and saliva. Hence, the proposed CCHA system offers an efficient and simple approach for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, holding substantial promise for enhancing COVID-19 diagnosis.

Abstract
Biosensors have emerged as ideal analytical devices for various bio-applications owing to their low cost, convenience, and portability, which offer great potential for improving global healthcare. DNA self-assembly techniques have been enriched with the development of innovative amplification strategies, such as dispersion-to-localization of catalytic hairpin assembly, and dumbbell hybridization chain reaction, which hold great significance for building biosensors capable of realizing sensitive, rapid and multiplexed detection of pathogenic microorganisms. Here, focusing primarily on the signal amplification strategies based on DNA self-assembly, we concisely summarized the strengths and weaknesses of diverse isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques. Subsequently, both single-layer and cascade amplification strategies based on traditional catalytic hairpin assembly and hybridization chain reaction were critically explored. Furthermore, a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in DNA self-assembled biosensors for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms is presented to summarize methods for biorecognition and signal amplification. Finally, a brief discussion is provided about the current challenges and future directions of DNA self-assembled biosensors.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in biological activities, but their in vivo imaging is still challenging due to the low abundance and the lack of efficient fluorescent tools. RNA aptamers with high affinity and low background emerge for bioimaging yet suffering from low brightness. We introduce a rational design based on target-mediated entropy-driven toehold exchange (EDTE) to induce the release of RNA aptamer and subsequently light up corresponding fluorophore, which achieves selective imaging of miRNAs with good stability in both living cells and tumor-bearing mouse. Through tailoring recognition unit of the EDTE probes, highly sensitive imaging of different miRNAs including miRNA-125b and miRNA-21 is achieved, confirming its universal bioimaging applications. In comparison with the reported "one-to-one" model, the EDTE strategy shows a remarkable 4.6-time improvement in signal/noise ratio for intracellular imaging of the same miRNA. Particularly, it realizes sensitive imaging of miRNA in vivo, providing a promising tool in investigating functions and interactions of disease-associated miRNAs.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the brain worldwide. Currently, there is no effective cure. But accurate and early diagnosis of AD is critical to the development of patient care and future treatments. MiRNA-16 has been considered as an effective diagnostic biomarker for AD because of its regulatory effect on key proteins of AD. Herein, a colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) was developed for sensitive detection of miRNA-16 based on entropy-driven catalysis (EDC) amplification strategy. MiRNA-16 triggered EDC and released more linker DNAs (LDNA) of sandwich structure. Thus, AuNPs were enriched at the T-line to enhance the colorimetric signal and improve the sensitivity of visual assay. It showed good specificity and sensitivity for detecting miRNA-16 with a detection limit of 1.01 pM. The practical detection of miRNA-16 in human serum obtained satisfactory result. Significantly, EDC achieved signal amplification in homogeneous solution without enzyme and DNA labeling, leading to a cheap and easy detection of miRNA-16. Therefore, it provided a portable and rapid assay for AD-related nucleic acid, which holds a potential for point-of-care testing (POCT) of AD.

Abstract
Following the global COVID-19 pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2, the need for rapid, specific and cost-effective point-of-care diagnostic solutions remains paramount. Even though COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency, the disease still poses a global threat leading to deaths, and it continues to change with the risk of new variants emerging causing a new surge in cases and deaths. Here, we address the urgent need for rapid, cost-effective and point-of-care diagnostic solutions for SARS-CoV-2. We propose a multiplexed DNA-based sensing platform that utilizes inkjet-printed nanostructured gold electrodes and an inkjet-printed battery-free near-field communication (NFC) potentiostat for the simultaneous quantitative detection of two SARS-CoV-2 genes, the ORF1ab and the N gene. The detection strategy based on the formation of an RNA-DNA sandwich structure leads to a highly specific electrochemical output. The inkjet-printed nanostructured gold electrodes providing a large surface area enable efficient binding and increase the sensitivity. The inkjet-printed battery-free NFC potentiostat enables rapid measurements and real-time data analysis via a smartphone application, making the platform accessible and portable. With the advantages of speed (5 min), simplicity, sensitivity (low pM range, ∼450% signal gain) and cost-effectiveness, the proposed platform is a promising alternative for point-of-care diagnostics and high-throughput analysis that complements the COVID-19 diagnostic toolkit.

Abstract
Genetically modified crops (GMOs) have led to significant, if not revolutionary, agricultural advances. The development of GMOs requires necessary regulations, which depend on the detection of GMOs. A sensitive and specific biosensor for the detection of transgenic crops is crucial to improve the detection efficiency of GMOs. Here, we developed a CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated entropy-driven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the sensitive and specific detection of MON810, the world's most widely used transgenic insect-resistant maize. We designed two crRNAs to activate CRISPR/Cas12a, allowing it to cut non-specific single strands, and we modified the DNA tetrahedron (DT) on the surface of the gold electrode to diminish non-specific adsorption. The entropy-driven chain displacement reaction with the target DNA takes place for amplification. After optimization, the biosensor has satisfactory accuracy and selectivity, with a linear range of ECL of 1-106 fM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.3 fM by the 3σ method. The biosensor does not require polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification or complex sample processing, which dramatically improves transgenic crop detection efficiency. This new biosensor achieves rapid, sensitive, and highly specific detection of transgenic crops, and has great potential for large-scale field detection of transgenic crops.

Free PCR virus detection via few-layer bismuthene and tetrahedral DNA nanostructured assemblies. Talanta 2024; 269:125405. [PMID: 37984235 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
In this work we describe a highly sensitive method based on a biocatalyzed electrochemiluminescence approach. The system combines, for the first time, the use of few-layer bismuthene (FLB) as a platform for the oriented immobilization of tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) specifically designed and synthetized to detect a specific SARS-CoV-2 gene sequence. In one of its vertices, these TDNs contain a DNA capture probe of the open reading frame 1 ab (ORF1ab) of the virus, available for the biorecognition of the target DNA/RNA. At the other three vertices, there are thiol groups that enable the stable anchoring/binding to the FLB surface. This novel geometry/approach enables not only the binding of the TDNs to surfaces, but also the orientation of the capture probe in a direction normal to the bismuthine surface so that it is readily accessible for binding/recognition of the specific SARS-CoV-2 sequence. The analytical signal is based on the anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of luminol which, in turn, arises as a result of the reaction with H2O2, generated by the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidation, catalyzed by the biocatalytic label avidin-glucose oxidase conjugate (Av-GOx), which acts as co-reactant in the electrochemiluminescent reaction. The method exhibits a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.31 aM and a wide linear range from 14.4 aM to 1.00 μM, and its applicability was confirmed by detecting SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal samples from COVID-19 patients without the need of any amplification process.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1285:342028. [PMID: 38057050 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli (E.coli) is both a commensal and a foodborne pathogenic bacterium in the human gastrointestinal tract, posing significant potential risks to human health and food safety. However, one of the major challenges in E.coli detection lies in the preparation and storage of antibodies. In traditional detection methods, antibodies are indispensable, but their instability often leads to experimental complexity and increased false positives. This underscores the need for new technologies and novel sensors. Therefore, the development of a simple and sensitive method for analyzing E.coli would make significant contributions to human health and food safety. RESULTS We constructed an electrochemical biosensor based on triple-helical DNA and entropy-driven amplification reaction (EDC) to inhibit the cleavage activity of Cas12a, enabling high-specificity detection of E.coli. Replacing antibodies with nucleic acid aptamers (Apt) as recognition elements, we utilized the triple-helical DNA generated by the binding of DNA2 and DNA5/DNA6 double-helical DNA through the entropy-driven amplification reaction to inhibit the collateral cleavage activity of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats gene editing system (CRISPR) and its associated proteins (Cas). By converting E.coli into electrical signals and recording signal changes in the form of square wave voltammetry (SWV), rapid detection of E.coli was achieved. Optimization of experimental conditions and data detection under the optimal conditions provided high sensitivity, low detection limits, and high specificity. SIGNIFICANCE With a minimal detection limit of 5.02 CFU/mL and a linear range of 1 × 102 - 1 × 107 CFU/mL, the suggested approach was successfully verified to analyze E.coli at various concentrations. Additionally, after examining E.coli samples from pure water and pure milk, the recoveries ranged between 95.76 and 101.20%, demonstrating the method's applicability. Additionally, it provides a feasible research direction for the detection of pathogenic bacteria causing other diseases using the CRISPR/Cas gene editing system.

Abstract
We present a novel framework enhancing the prediction of whether novel lineage poses the threat of eventually dominating the viral population. The framework is based purely on genomic sequence data, without requiring prior established biological analysis. Its building blocks are sets of coevolving sites in the alignment (motifs), identified via coevolutionary signals. The collection of such motifs forms a relational structure over the polymorphic sites. Motifs are constructed using distances quantifying the coevolutionary coupling of pairs and manifest as coevolving clusters of sites. We present an approach to genomic surveillance based on this notion of relational structure. Our system will issue an alert regarding a lineage, based on its contribution to drastic changes in the relational structure. We then conduct a comprehensive retrospective analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic based on SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequence data in GISAID from October 2020 to September 2022, across 21 lineages and 27 countries with weekly resolution. We investigate the performance of this surveillance system in terms of its accuracy, timeliness, and robustness. Lastly, we study how well each lineage is classified by such a system.

Abstract
Waterborne viruses that can be harmful to human health pose significant challenges globally, affecting health care systems and the economy. Identifying these waterborne pathogens is essential for preventing diseases and protecting public health. However, handling complex samples such as human and wastewater can be challenging due to their dynamic and complex composition and the ultralow concentration of target analytes. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs in waterborne virus biosensors. It begins by highlighting several promising strategies that enhance the sensing performance of optical and electrochemical biosensors in human samples. These strategies include optimizing bioreceptor selection, transduction elements, signal amplification, and integrated sensing systems. Furthermore, the insights gained from biosensing waterborne viruses in human samples are applied to improve biosensing in wastewater, with a particular focus on sampling and sample pretreatment due to the dispersion characteristics of waterborne viruses in wastewater. This review suggests that implementing a comprehensive system that integrates the entire waterborne virus detection process with high-accuracy analysis could enhance virus monitoring. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the effectiveness of waterborne virus detection, which could have significant implications for public health and environmental management.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor is reported for controlling CRISPR/Cas12a activity through the utilization of entropy-driven reactions, alongside the construction of a highly sensitive biosensor for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) detection. In the biosensor, entropy-driven reactions are employed to regulate the activity of CRISPR/Cas12a - a gene editing tool - capable of nonspecific cleavage of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The biosensor architecture encompasses an electrode that is modified with ssDNA probes designed to hybridize with target BNP aptamers. These aptamers, furnished with labeled ssDNA triggers, facilitate the activation of CRISPR/Cas12a through interaction with its guide RNA. Upon the presence of BNP, it associates with the aptamers, subsequently liberating the triggers that instigate the entropy-driven reactions. As a consequence of these reactions, more stable duplexes emerge between the triggers and guide RNA, thereby activating CRISPR/Cas12a. The activated CRISPR/Cas12a subsequently executes cleavage of ssDNA probes residing on the electrode surface, culminating in the generation of an electrochemical signal directly (the calibration plots of differential pulse voltammetric detection were acquired at a working potential of 0.2 V (vs. ref. electrode)) proportional to the BNP concentration. Validation of the biosensor's performance is undertaken, wherein BNP detection is demonstrated in both buffer and human serum samples. Evident in the findings is the biosensor's discernible sensitivity and specificity for BNP detection, exemplified by a detection limit of 13.53 fM and a lack of interference originating from other cardiac biomarkers, respectively. Furthermore, the biosensor's potential to discriminate between healthy individuals and those afflicted by heart failure, predicated on distinctive BNP levels, is illustrated.

Abstract
In the current study, a novel electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on the entropy-driven DNA tetrahedron for the detection of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), an enzyme that regulates extracellular matrix remodeling and affects aging was reported. The biosensor utilizes an inverted DNA tetrahedron structure, which exposes three vertices to the solution, as molecular recognition units for capturing specific biomolecules. The biosensor also employs a ratiometric method and an entropy-driven reaction, which enhance the response rate and sensitivity of the detection. The biosensor can detect MMP2 with a detection limit of 55.2 fM, which is lower than that of conventional sensors. The biosensor also exhibits excellent stability and reproducibility, and can accurately measure MMP2 levels in complex samples, such as human serum. The paper demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of using the "inverted" DNA tetrahedron structure and the entropy-driven process to construct interfacial biosensors. The paper also discusses the potential applications of the biosensor in clinical diagnosis and anti-aging research, where MMP2 plays a crucial role in tissue damage and repair. The paper provides a valuable contribution to the field of biosensor development, and opens up new possibilities for using DNA nanotechnology for sensitive and reliable detection of various biomolecules.

Abstract
Constructing mono-luminophor-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) ratio system is a great challenge due to the limitations of the luminescent species with dual-signal-output, luminescence efficiency and coreactant. This work developed carboxyl-functionalized poly[9,9-bis(3'-(N,N-dimethylamino) propyl)-2,7-fluorene]-alt-2,7-(9,9 dioctylfluorene)] nanoparticles(PFN NPs) as dual-emitting luminophors, which can synchronously output strong cathodic and anodic ECL signals without any exogenous coreactants. The inherent molecular structure enabled efficient intramolecular electron transfer between tertiary amine groups and backbone of PFN to generate strong cathodic and anodic ECL emission. Particularly, H+ in aqueous solution played an irreplaceable role for cathodic ECL emission. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were developed as signal regulator because of their excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, which significantly quenched the cathodic signal while kept the anodic signal unchanged. The dual-emitting PFN NPs cleverly integrated signal regulator AgNPs and bicyclic strand displacement amplification (SDA) to construct a coreactant-free mono-luminophor-based ratiometric ECL sensing for SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene assay. The strong dual-emitting of PFN NPs and excellent quenching effect of AgNPs on cathodic emission endowed the biosensor with a high detection sensitivity, and the detection limit was as low as 39 aM for RdRp gene. The unique dual-emitting properties of PFN NPs open up a new path to construct coreactant-free mono-luminophor-based ECL ratio platform, and excellent HER activity of AgNPs offers some new thoughts for realizing ECL signal changes.

Abstract
In proximity-driven sensing, interactions between a probe and an analyte produce a detectable signal by causing a change in distance of two probe components or signaling moieties. By interfacing such systems with DNA-based nanostructures, platforms that are highly sensitive, specific, and programmable can be designed. In this Perspective, we delineate the advantages of using DNA building blocks in proximity-driven nanosensors and provide an overview of recent progress in the field, from sensors that rapidly detect pesticides in food to probes that identify rare cancer cells in blood. We also discuss current challenges and identify key areas that need further development.

Abstract
We report the development of a reproducible and highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate using a butanol-induced self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and its application as a rapid diagnostic platform for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The butanol-induced self-assembly process was used to generate a uniform assembly of AuNPs, with multiple hotspots, to achieve high reproducibility. When an aqueous droplet containing AuNPs and target DNAs was dropped onto a butanol droplet, butanol-induced dehydration occurred, enriching the target DNAs around the AuNPs and increasing the loading density of the DNAs on the AuNP surface. The SERS substrate was evaluated by using Raman spectroscopy, which showed strong electromagnetic enhancement of the Raman signals. The substrate was then tested for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using SERS, and a very low limit of detection (LoD) of 3.1 × 10-15 M was obtained. This provides sufficient sensitivity for the SARS-CoV-2 screening assay, and the diagnostic time is significantly reduced as no thermocycling steps are required. This study demonstrates a method for the butanol-induced self-assembly of AuNPs and its application as a highly sensitive and reproducible SERS substrate for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2. The results suggest the potential of this approach for developing rapid diagnostic platforms for other biomolecules and infectious diseases.

Electrochemical biosensor strategy combining DNA entropy-driven technology to activate CRISPR-Cas13a activity and triple-stranded nucleic acids to detect SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene.

Abstract
By merging DNA entropy-driven technology with triple-stranded nucleic acids in an electrochemical biosensor to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene, we tackled the challenges of false negatives and the high cost of SARS-CoV-2 detection. The approach generates a CRISPR-Cas 13a-activated RNA activator, which then stimulates CRISPR-Cas 13a activity using an entropy-driven mechanism. The activated CRISPR-Cas 13a can cleave Hoogsteen DNA due to the insertion of two uracil (-U-U-) in Hoogsteen DNA. The DNA tetrahedra changed on the electrode surface and can therefore not construct a three-stranded structure after cleaving Hoogsteen DNA. Significantly, this DNA tetrahedron/Hoogsteen DNA-based biosensor can regenerate at pH = 10.0, which keeps Hoogsteen DNA away from the electrode surface, allowing the biosensor to function at pH = 7.0. We could use this technique to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection limit of 89.86 aM. Furthermore, the detection method is very stable and repeatable. This technique offers the prospect of detecting SARS-CoV-2 at a reasonable cost. This work has potential applications in the dynamic assessment of the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in the screening of environmental samples.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131268.

Abstract
In this study, we introduce an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform based on the "Entropy-driven triggered T7 amplification-CRISPR/Cas13a system" (EDT-Cas). This platform combines a programmable entropy-driven cycling strategy, T7 RNA polymerase, and the CRISPR/Cas13a system to amplify the determination of the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene. The Ti3C2Tx-compliant ECL signaling molecule offers unique benefits when used with the ECL sensing platform to increase the assay sensitivity and the electrode surface modifiability. To obtain the T7 promoter, the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene may first initiate an entropy-driven cyclic amplification response. Then, after recognizing the T7 promoter sequence on the newly created dsDNA, T7 RNA polymerase starts transcription, resulting in the production of many single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs), which in turn trigger the action of CRISPR/Cas13a. Finally, Cas13a/crRNA identifies the transcribed ssRNA. When it cleaves the ssRNA, many DNA reporter probes carrying -U-U- are cleaved on the electrode surface, increasing the ECL signal and allowing for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2. With a detection limit of 7.39 aM, our method enables us to locate the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene in clinical samples. The detection method also demonstrates excellent repeatability and stability. The SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene was discovered using the "Entropy-driven triggered T7 amplification-CRISPR/Cas13a system" (EDT-Cas). The developed ECL test had excellent recoveries in pharyngeal swabs and environmental samples. It is anticipated to offer an early clinical diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 and further control the spread of the pandemic.

Abstract
A new and reliable method has been constructed for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) open reading frames 1ab (ORF1ab) gene via highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor technology based on highly efficient asymmetric polymerase chain reaction (asymmetric PCR) amplification strategy. This method uses magnetic particles coupled with biotin-labeled one complementary nucleic acid sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab gene as the magnetic capture probes, and [Formula: see text]-labeled amino-modified another complementary nucleic acid sequence as the luminescent probes, and then a detection model of magnetic capture probes-asymmetric PCR amplification nucleic acid products-[Formula: see text]-labeled luminescent probes is formed, which combines the advantages of highly efficient asymmetric PCR amplification strategy and highly sensitive ECL biosensor technology, enhancing the method sensitivity of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab gene. The method enables the rapid and sensitive detection of the ORF1ab gene and has a linear range of 1-[Formula: see text] copies/[Formula: see text], a regression equation of [Formula: see text] = [Formula: see text] + 2919.301 ([Formula: see text] = 0.9983, [Formula: see text] = 7), and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 copy/[Formula: see text]. In summary, it can meet the analytical requirements for simulated saliva and urine samples and has the benefits of easy operation, reasonable reproducibility, high sensitivity, and anti-interference abilities, which can provide a reference for developing efficient field detection methods for SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic had devastating effects throughout the world, producing a severe crisis in the health systems and in the economy of a long list of countries, even developed ones. Therefore, highly sensitive and selective analytical bioplatforms that allow the descentralized and fast detection of the severe acute respiratory síndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are extremely necessary. Since 2020, several reviews have been published, most of them focused on the different strategies to detect the SARS-CoV-2, either from RNA, viral proteins or host antibodies produced due to the presence of the virus. In this review, the most relevant biosensors for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA are particularly addressed, with special emphasis on the discussion of the biorecognition layers and the different schemes for transducing the hybridization event.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 caused a global panic among populations. Rapid diagnostic procedures for the virus are crucial for disease control. Thus, the designed signature probe from a highly conserved region of the virus was chemically immobilized onto the nanostructured-AuNPs/WO3-screen printed electrodes. Different concentrations of the matched oligonucleotides were spiked to test the specificity of the hybridization affinity whereas the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used for tracking the electrochemical performance. After a full assay optimization, limits of detection and quantification were calculated based on linear regression and were valued at 298 and 994 fM, respectively. Further, the high performance of the fabricated RNA-sensor chips was confirmed after testing the interference status in the presence of the mismatched oligos in one nucleotide and completely one. Worthy to mention that the single-stranded matched oligos can be hybridized to the immobilized probe in 5 min at room temperature. The designed disposable sensor chips are capable of detecting the virus genome directly. Therefore, the chips are a rapid tool for SARS-CoV-2 detection.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 is one of the global health problems. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor has been designed to detect the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) (SARS-CoV-2 RdRP). Herein, the surface-initiated reversible-addition-fragmentation-chain-transfer polymerization was used to amplify the electrochemical signal. To do that, the thiol-terminated peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes were first immobilized on the surface of a screen-printed electrode modified with reduced graphene oxide-gold nanocomposite and then the fixed concentration of the SARS-CoV-2 RdRP was added to the electrode surface to interact with PNA probes. Subsequently, the Zr 4+ ions were added to interact with the phosphate groups of the SARS-CoV-2 RdRP. It allowed us to polymerase the ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FcMMA) and 4-cyano-4-(phenylcarbonothioylthio)-pentanoic acid on the SARS-CoV-2 RdRP chain. Since the poly-FcMMA has an electrochemical signal, the response of the PNA-based sensor to SARS-CoV-2 RdRP was increased in the range of 5-500 aM. The limit of detection was calculated to be 0.8 aM which is lower than the previous sensor for SARS-CoV-2 RdRP detection. The proposed PNA-based sensor showed high selectivity to the SARS-CoV-2 RdRP in the presence of the gene fragments of influenza A and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has exemplified how viral growth and transmission are a significant threat to global biosecurity. The early detection and treatment of viral infections is the top priority to prevent fresh waves and control the pandemic. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been identified through several conventional molecular methodologies that are time-consuming and require high-skill labor, apparatus, and biochemical reagents but have a low detection accuracy. These bottlenecks hamper conventional methods from resolving the COVID-19 emergency. However, interdisciplinary advances in nanomaterials and biotechnology, such as nanomaterials-based biosensors, have opened new avenues for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of pathogens in the field of healthcare. Many updated nanomaterials-based biosensors, namely electrochemical, field-effect transistor, plasmonic, and colorimetric biosensors, employ nucleic acid and antigen-antibody interactions for SARS-CoV-2 detection in a highly efficient, reliable, sensitive, and rapid manner. This systematic review summarizes the mechanisms and characteristics of nanomaterials-based biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Moreover, continuing challenges and emerging trends in biosensor development are also discussed.

Abstract
We present a method for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection based on the dual amplification effect of duplex-specific nuclease (DSN). In this scheme, we cleverly employed a 2-OMe-RNA modified DNA to prevent hairpin nucleic acid from being digested by DSN. The target RNA and 2-OMe-RNA are released when DSN cleaves just the double-stranded RNA/hairpin nucleic acid DNA. The target RNA then forms a circular reaction when it hybridizes with another hairpin nucleic acid. Simultaneously, the released target 2-OMe-RNA turns on the hairpin DNA2 on the electrode surface, and when the DSN cleaves the DNA in the hairpin DNA2/2-OMe-RNA duplex, the 2-OMe-RNA is released and hybridized with the other hairpin DNA2. The hairpin DNA2 on the electrode surface is split off after many cycles, exposing the gold electrode surface. As a consequence, there is more K4[Fe(CN)6]/K3[Fe(CN)6] redox near to the electrode surface, and the electrochemical signal increases. As a result, the change in electrochemical signal may be used to calculate the quantity of RNA that has to be measured. The protocol has good sensitivity in the detection of SARS-CoV-2: the detection limit reached 21.69 aM. This protocol provides an effective solution for the highly sensitive screening of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
A rapid and accurate diagnostic modality is essential to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we proposed a SARS-CoV-2 detection sensor based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to achieve rapid and ultrasensitive detection. The sensor utilized spike protein deoxyribonucleic acid aptamers with strong affinity as the recognition entity to achieve high specificity. The spherical cocktail aptamers-gold nanoparticles (SCAP) SERS substrate was used as the base and Au nanoparticles modified with the Raman reporter molecule that resonates with the excitation light and spike protein aptamers were used as the SERS nanoprobe. The SCAP substrate and SERS nanoprobes were used to target and capture the SARS-CoV-2 S protein to form a sandwich structure on the Au film substrate, which can generate ultra-strong "hot spots" to achieve ultrasensitive detection. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 S protein was performed by monitoring changes in SERS peak intensity on a SCAP SERS substrate-based detection platform. This assay detects S protein with a LOD of less than 0.7 fg mL-1 and pseudovirus as low as 0.8 TU mL-1 in about 12 min. The results of the simulated oropharyngeal swab system in this study indicated the possibility of it being used for clinical detection, providing a potential option for rapid and accurate diagnosis and more effective control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Abstract
The molecular diagnosis of disease by high-sensitively and specifically detecting extremely trace amounts of nucleic acid biomarkers in biological samples is still a great challenge, and the powerful sensing strategy has become an urgent need for basic researches and clinical applications. Herein, a novel one-pot cascade signal amplification strategy (Cas13a-bHCR) integrating CRISPR/Cas13a system (Cas13a) and branched hybridization chain reaction (bHCR) was proposed for ultra-highly sensitive and specific SERS assay of disease-related nucleic acids on SERS-active silver nanorods sensing chips. The Cas13a-bHCR based SERS assay of gastric cancer-related miRNA-106a (miR-106a) can be achieved within 60 min and output significantly enhanced SERS signal due to the multiple signal amplification, which possesses a good linear calibration curve from 10 aM to 1 nM with the limit of detection (LOD) low to 8.55 aM for detecting gastric cancer-related miR-106a in human serum. The Cas13a-bHCR based SERS sensing also shows good specificity, uniformity, repeatability and reliability, and has good practicability for detection of miR-106a in clinical samples, which can provide a potential powerful tool for SERS detection of disease-related nucleic acids and promise brighter prospects in the field of clinical diagnosis of early disease.

Abstract
Being synthetic supplements to natural lipids, lipoids now play an increasingly significant role in nanopore sequencing, olfactory sensing, and nanoimpact electrochemistry. Yet, systematic comparisons to sort and screen qualified lipoids are lacking for specific scenario applications. Here, taking the merits of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in probing biointerfacial events, a new metric was proposed for the evaluation of substrate candidacy in the pool of hyamine bromides (ABs), that are used to cohere with electron-rich porphyrins for deep eutectics-like ECL matrices. Using a state-of-the-art framework emitter, the cocrystalline nanosheet of C70 and zinc meso-tetraphenylporphine (ZnTPP) via simple liquid-liquid interfacial deposition, 6 out of 20 ABs were inspected and identified as not only amenable filmogens but excitonic sensitizers in key terms of ECL strength as well as voltammetric characteristics. Among them, the methyltrioctyl (MTOAB) headgroup stood out; while the ECL activity at ZnTPP-C70@MTOAB was proven to be dictated by ionophoresis across multilamellar lipoidal layers. Thus, target-induced membrane deformation would let coreactant scavengers in to quench ECL, which enabled assays on two less visited bioprocesses regarding (1) the lipid solubility of ipratropium bromide, an aerosol medication for rhinitis treatment; and (2) the resorption of selenosugar as the central metabolite of Se-proteins on kidney glomerular basement barrier. Both resulted in nice membrane-binding measurements with comparable dissociation constants to reported microfluidic ELISA methods. By and large, though still being rudimentary, such parametrization of ECL-able biofilm would set up a basic ECL toolbox for archiving and resourcing multilipoidal even lipid-lipoid combos to handle the realistic (sub)cytomembrane processes in the future.

Abstract
Researchers are constantly looking to find new techniques of virus detection that are sensitive, cost-effective, and accurate. Additionally, they can be used as a point-of-care (POC) tool due to the fact that the populace is growing at a quick tempo, and epidemics are materializing greater often than ever. Electrochemiluminescence-based (ECL) biosensors for the detection of viruses have become one of the most quickly developing sensors in this field. Thus, we here focus on recent trends and developments of these sensors with regard to virus detection. Also, quantitative analysis of various viruses (e.g., Influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis virus, and Zika virus) with a specific interest in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was introduced from the perspective of the biomarker and the biological receptor immobilized on the ECL-based sensors, such as nucleic acids-based, immunosensors, and other affinity ECL biosensors.

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic outbreak poses a serious threat to public health, demonstrating the critical need for the development of effective and reproducible detection tests. Since the RT-qPCR primers are highly specific and can only be designed based on the known sequence, mutation sensitivity is its limitation. Moreover, the mutations in the severe acute respiratory syndrome β-coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) genome led to new highly transmissible variants such as Delta and Omicron variants. In the case of mutation, RT-qPCR primers cannot recognize and attach to the target sequence. This research presents an accurate dual-platform DNA biosensor based on the colorimetric assay of gold nanoparticles and the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique. It simultaneously targets four different regions of the viral genome for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and its new variants prior to any sequencing. Hence, in the case of mutation in one of the target sequences, the other three probes could detect the SARS-CoV-2 genome. The method is based on visible biosensor color shift and a locally enhanced electromagnetic field and significantly amplified SERS signal due to the proximity of Sulfo-Cyanine 3 (Cy3) and AuNPs intensity peak at 1468 cm-1. The dual-platform DNA/GO/AuNP biosensor exhibits high sensitivity toward the viral genome with a LOD of 0.16 ng/µL. This is a safe point-of-care, naked-eye, equipment-free, and rapid (10 min) detection biosensor for diagnosing COVID-19 cases at home using a nasopharyngeal sample.

Abstract
Rational detection of syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is crucial to prevention, control, and treatment of disease. Herein, a dual-wavelength ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on resonance energy transfer (RET) between g-C3N4 nanosheets and Ru-SiO2@folic acid (FA) nanomaterials was designed to realize ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus (RdRp gene). Firstly, the unique g-C3N4 nanosheets displayed very intense and stable ECL at 460 nm, then the triple helix DNA was stably and vertically bound to g-C3N4 on electrode by high binding affinity between ssDNA and g-C3N4. Meanwhile, trace amounts of target genes were converted to a large number of output by three-dimensional (3D) DNA walker multiple amplification, and the output bridged a multifunctional probe Ru-SiO2@FA to electrode. Ru-SiO2@FA not only showed high ECL at 620 nm, but also effectively quenched g-C3N4 ECL. As a result, ECL decreased at 460 nm and increased at 620 nm, which was used to design a rational ECL biosensor for detection of SARS gene. The results show that the biosensor has excellent detection sensitivity for RdRp gene with a dynamic detection range of 1 fM to 10 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.18 fM. The dual-wavelength ratio ECL biosensor has inestimable value and application prospects in the fields of biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 isolation from cold-chain food products confirms the possibility of outbreaks through cold-chain food products. RNA extraction combined with RT-PCR is the primary method currently utilized for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. However, the requirement of hours of analytical time and the high price of RT-PCR hinder its worldwide implementation in food supervision. Here, we report a fluorescence biosensor for detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein. The fluorescence biosensor was fabricated by aptamer-based conformational entropy-driven circuit where molecular beacon strands were labeled with graphitic carbon nitrides quantum dots@Zn-metal-organic framework (g-CNQDs@Zn-MOF) and Dabcyl. The detection of the N protein was achieved via swabbing followed by competitive assay using a fixed amount of N-48 aptamers in the analytical system. A fluorescence emission spectrum was employed for the detection. The detection limit of our fluorescence biosensor was 1.0 pg/mL for SARS-CoV-2 N protein, indicating very excellent sensitivity. The fluorescence biosensor did not exhibit significant cross-reactivity with other N proteins. Finally, the biosensor was successfully applied for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein in actual cold-chain food products showing same excellent accuracy as RT-PCR method. Thus, our fluorescence biosensor is a promising analytical tool for rapid and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein.

Abstract
The development of DNA-sensing platforms based on new synthetized Methylene Blue functionalized carbon nanodots combined with different shape gold nanostructures (AuNs), as a new pathway to develop a selective and sensitive methodology for SARS-CoV-2 detection is presented. A mixture of gold nanoparticles and gold nanotriangles have been synthetized to modify disposable electrodes that act as an enhanced nanostructured electrochemical surface for DNA probe immobilization. On the other hand, modified carbon nanodots prepared a la carte to contain Methylene Blue (MB-CDs) are used as electrochemical indicators of the hybridization event. These MB-CDs, due to their structure, are able to interact differently with double and single-stranded DNA molecules. Based on this strategy, target sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been detected in a straightforward way and rapidly with a detection limit of 2.00 aM. Moreover, this platform allows the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 sequence in the presence of other viruses, and also a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). The developed approach has been tested directly on RNA obtained from nasopharyngeal samples from COVID-19 patients, avoiding any amplification process. The results agree well with those obtained by RT-qPCR or reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction technique.

Abstract
Abnormal microRNA (miRNA) expression levels are confirmed as diagnostic biomarkers of the emergence and development of diseases. In this study, we developed a fluorescence biosensor for detecting miRNAs based on double amplification reactions with the primer exchange reaction (PER) and CRISPR/Cas12a. In the absence of target miRNA-21, PER hairpins remained locked by the protector strands and the primers did not extend. In the presence of target miRNA-21, the miRNA-21 bound to the guard sequence and exposed primer binding sites. Also, the closed PER hairpin was unlocked to specifically extend primers into single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of unequal lengths. These ssDNAs of unequal lengths could activate the cleavage of a reporter by Cas12a, leading to an increase in detectable fluorescence signals. A large number of short nucleic acid fragments were amplified by PER-CRISPR multiple cycle cleavage fluorescent probes. Based on PER-combined CRISPR/Cas12a established dual signal amplification method was characterized by a low limit of detection of 10fM. The fluorescent biosensor for miRNA detection had the advantages of low detection cost, simple operation, and mobility, providing a very promising platform for the point-of-care testing of miRNA-21.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new and highly contagious disease posing a threat to global public health and wreaking havoc around the world. It's caused by the Coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). In the current pandemic situation, rapid and accurate SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis on a large scale is critical for early-stage diagnosis. Early detection and monitoring of viral infections can aid in controlling and preventing infection in large groups of people. Accordingly, we developed a sensitive and high-throughput sandwich electrochemiluminescence immunosensor based on antigen detection for COVID-19 diagnosis (the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2). For the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the ECL biosensor had a linear range of 10 ng mL-1 to 10 µg mL-1 with a limit of detection of 1.93 ng mL-1. The sandwich ECL immunosensor could be used in early clinical diagnosis due to its excellent recovery in detecting SARS-CoV-2, rapid analysis (90 min), and ease of use.

Non-enzymatic signal amplification-powered point-of-care SERS sensor for rapid and ultra-sensitive assay of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 212:114379. [PMID: 35635970 PMCID: PMC9110061 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The development of rapid and ultra-sensitive detection technology of SARS-CoV-2 RNA for shortening the diagnostic window and achieving early detection of virus infections is a huge challenge to the efficient prevention and control of COVID-19. Herein, a novel ultra-sensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor powered by non-enzymatic signal amplification is proposed for rapid and reliable assay of SARS-CoV-2 RNA based on SERS-active silver nanorods (AgNRs) sensing chips and a specially designed smart unlocking-mediated target recycling signal amplification strategy. The SERS sensing was carried out by a one-pot hybridization of the lock probes (LPs), hairpin DNAs and SERS tags with SARS-CoV-2 RNA samples on an arrayed SERS sensing chip to achieve the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, the execution of nuclease-free unlocking-mediated target recycling signal amplification, and the combination of SERS tags to generate SERS signal. The SERS sensor for SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be achieved within 50 min with an ultra-high sensitivity low to 51.38 copies/mL, and has good selectivity in discriminating SARS-CoV-2 RNA against other respiratory viruses in representative clinical samples, which is well adapted for rapid, ultra-sensitive, multi-channel and point-of-care testing of viral nucleic acids, and is expected to achieve detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in earlier detection windows for efficient COVID-19 prevention and control.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has received considerable attention as a powerful analytical technique for the sensitive and accurate detection of biological analytes owing to its high sensitivity and selectivity and wide dynamic range. To satisfy the growing demand for ultrasensitive analysis techniques with high efficiency and accuracy in complex real sample matrices, considerable efforts have been dedicated to developing ECL strategies to improve the sensitivity of bioanalysis. As one of the most effective approaches, diverse signal amplification strategies have been integrated with ECL biosensors to achieve desirable analytical performance. This review summarizes the recent advances in ECL biosensing based on various signal amplification strategies, including DNA-assisted amplification strategies, efficient ECL luminophores, surface-enhanced electrochemiluminescence, and ratiometric strategies. Sensitivity-enhancing strategies and bio-related applications are discussed in detail. Moreover, the future trends and challenges of ECL biosensors are discussed.

Abstract
Given the great utility that having fast, efficient and cost-effective methods for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater can have in controlling the pandemic caused by this virus, the development of new dependable and specific SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus sensing devices to be applied to wastewater is essential to promote public health interventions. Therefore, herein we propose a new method to detect SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater based on a carbon nanodots-amplified electrochemiluminescence immunosensor for the determination of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 protein. For the construction of the immunosensor, N-rich carbon nanodots have been synthetized with a double function: to contribute as amplifiers of the electrochemiluminescent signal in presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and as antibody supports by providing functional groups capable of covalently interacting with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 antibody. The proposed ECL immunosensor has demonstrated a high specificity in presence of other virus-related proteins and responded linearly to SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 concentration over a wide range with a limit of detection of 1.2 pg/mL. The immunosensor has an excellent stability and achieved the detection of SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 in river and urban wastewater, which supplies a feasible and reliable sensing platform for early virus detection and therefore to protect the population. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 in urban wastewater can be used as a tool to measure the circulation of the virus in the population and to detect a possible resurgence of COVID-19.

Abstract
With the rise of zoonotic diseases in recent years, there is an urgent need for improved and more accessible screening and diagnostic methods to mitigate future outbreaks. The recent COVID-19 pandemic revealed an over-reliance on RT-PCR, a slow, costly and lab-based method for diagnostics. To better manage the pandemic, a high-throughput, rapid point-of-care device is needed for early detection and isolation of patients. Electrochemical biosensors offer a promising solution, as they can be used to perform on-site tests without the need for centralized labs, producing high-throughput and accurate measurements compared to rapid test kits. In this work, we detail important considerations for the use of electrochemical biosensors for the detection of respiratory viruses. Methods of enhancing signal outputs via amplification of the analyte, biorecognition of elements and modification of the transducer are also explained. The use of portable potentiostats and microfluidics chambers that create a miniature lab are also discussed in detail as an alternative to centralized laboratory settings. The state-of-the-art usage of portable potentiostats for detection of viruses is also elaborated and categorized according to detection technique: amperometry, voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In terms of integration with microfluidics, RT-LAMP is identified as the preferred method for DNA amplification virus detection. RT-LAMP methods have shorter turnaround times compared to RT-PCR and do not require thermal cycling. Current applications of RT-LAMP for virus detection are also elaborated upon.
