Abstract
More than four years have passed since an inimitable coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic hit the globe in 2019 after an uncontrolled transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The occurrence of this highly contagious respiratory infectious disease led to chaos and mortality all over the world. The peak paradigm shift of the researchers was inclined towards the accurate and rapid detection of diseases. Since 2019, there has been a boost in the diagnostics of COVID-19 via numerous conventional diagnostic tools like RT-PCR, ELISA, etc., and advanced biosensing kits like LFIA, etc. For the same reason, the use of nanotechnology and two-dimensional nanomaterials (2DNMs) has aided in the fabrication of efficient diagnostic tools to combat COVID-19. This article discusses the engineering techniques utilized for fabricating chemically active E2DNMs that are exceptionally thin and irregular. The techniques encompass the introduction of heteroatoms, intercalation of ions, and the design of strain and defects. E2DNMs possess unique characteristics, including a substantial surface area and controllable electrical, optical, and bioactive properties. These characteristics enable the development of sophisticated diagnostic platforms for real-time biosensors with exceptional sensitivity in detecting SARS-CoV-2. Integrating the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) with these E2DNMs-based advanced diagnostics has led to the development of portable, real-time, scalable, more accurate, and cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic platforms. These diagnostic platforms have the potential to revolutionize SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis by making it faster, easier, and more accessible to people worldwide, thus making them ideal for resource-limited settings. These advanced IoMT diagnostic platforms may help with combating SARS-CoV-2 as well as tracking and predicting the spread of future pandemics, ultimately saving lives and mitigating their impact on global health systems.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:341938. [PMID: 38182333 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341938] [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: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are primarily kinds of food hazards that provoke serious harm to human health via contaminated or spoiled food. Given that pathogenic bacteria continue to reproduce and expand once they contaminate food, pathogenic bacteria of high concentration triggers more serious losses and detriments. Hence, it is essential to detect low-dose pollution at an early stage with high sensitivity. Aptamers, also known as "chemical antibodies", are oligonucleotide sequences that have attracted much attention owing to their merits of non-toxicity, small size, variable structure as well as easy modification of functional group. Aptamer-based bioanalysis has occupied a critical position in the field of rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria. This is attributed to the unique advantage of using aptamers as recognition elements in signal amplification strategies. The signal amplification strategy is an effective means to improve the detection sensitivity. Some diverse signal amplification strategies emphasize the synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials with signal amplification capabilities, while others introduce various nucleic acid amplification techniques into the detection system. This review focuses on a variety of signal amplification strategies employed in aptamer-based detection approaches to pathogenic bacteria. Meanwhile, we provided a detailed introduction to the design principles and characteristics of signal amplification strategies, as well as the improvement of sensor sensitivity. Ultimately, the existing issues and development trends of applying signal amplification strategies in apta-sensing analysis of pathogenic bacteria are critically proposed and prospected. Overall, this review discusses from a new perspective and is expected to contribute to the further development of this field.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in a devastating effect on human health in the last three years. While tremendous effort has been devoted to the development of effective treatment and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and controlling the spread of it, collective health challenges have been encountered along with the concurrent serious economic impacts. Since the beginning of the pandemic, various detection methods like PCR-based methods, isothermal nucleic acid amplification-based (INAA) methods, serological methods or antibody tests, and evaluation of X-ray chest results have been exploited to diagnose SARS-CoV-2. PCR-based detection methods in these are considered gold standards in the current stage despite their drawbacks, including being high-cost and time-consuming procedures. Furthermore, the results obtained from the PCR tests are susceptible to sample collection methods and time. When the sample is not collected properly, obtaining a false result may be likely. The use of specialized lab equipment and the need for trained people for the experiments pose additional challenges in PCR-based testing methods. Also, similar problems are observed in other molecular and serological methods. Therefore, biosensor technologies are becoming advantageous with their quick response, high specificity and precision, and low-cost characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 detection. In this paper, we critically review the advances in the development of sensors for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using two-dimensional (2D) materials. Since 2D materials including graphene and graphene-related materials, transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXenes), and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) play key roles in the development of novel and high-performance electrochemical (bio)sensors, this review pushes the sensor technologies against SARS-CoV-2 detection forward and highlights the current trends. First, the basics of SARS-CoV-2 detection are described. Then the structure and the physicochemical properties of the 2D materials are explained, which is followed by the development of SARS-CoV-2 sensors by exploiting the exceptional properties of the 2D materials. This critical review covers most of the published papers in detail from the beginning of the outbreak.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 233:116355. [PMID: 37329944 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Lead ions (Pb2+), as one of many common heavy metallic environmental pollutants, can cause serious side-effects and result in chronic poisoning to people's health, so it is highly significant to monitor Pb2+ efficiently and sensitively. Here, we proposed an antimonene@Ti3C2Tx nanohybrid-based electrochemical aptamer sensor (aptasensor) for high sensitive Pb2+ determination. The sensing platform of nanohybrid was synthesized by ultrasonication, possessing the advantages of both antimonene and Ti3C2Tx, which not only can vastly enlarge the sensing signal of the proposed aptasensor, but also greatly simplified its manufacturing flow, because antimonene can strongly interact with aptamer through noncovalently bound. The surface morphology and microarchitecture of the nanohybrid were perused by several methods such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray mapping spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscope (AFM). Under optimal empirical conditions, the proposed aptasensor exhibited a wide linear correlation of the current signals with the logarithm of CPb2+ (Log CPb2+) over the span from 1 × 10-12 to 1 × 10-7 M and provided a trace discernment limit of 3.3 × 10-13 M. Moreover, the constructed aptasensor displayed superior repeatability, great consistency, eminent selectivity, and beneficial reproducibility, implying its extreme potential application for water quality control and the environmental monitoring of Pb2+.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors coupled with reverse iontophoresis (RI) for noninvasive determination of cardiac troponins were developed and validated according to ICH Q2 (R1) guideline. Linearity was in 0.01-10 and 100-500 ng/mL ranges. LODs (ng/mL) were in 6-25 × 10-4, while LOQs (μg/mL) were in 18-7.5 × 10-4 range. Chemometric evaluation was performed on raw data simply by principle component analysis and cluster analysis to discriminate stages of immunosensors. This is the first demonstration of RI determination of cardiac troponins so far. Findings of the current manuscript have great potential to develop point of care diagnostic systems for major cardiac events, where high sensitivity and specificity are required.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection at early stages can help to attenuate the effects of the COVID-19. Compared to RNA and antibodies detection, direct detection of viral antigens could reflect infectivity more appropriately. However, it is still a great challenge to construct a convenient, accurate and sensitive biosensor with a suitable molecular recognition element for SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Herein, we report a HRCA-based aptasensor for simple, ultrasensitive and quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein and pseudovirus. The aptamer sequence used here is selected from several published aptamers by enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay and molecular docking simulation. The sensor forms an antibody-target-aptamer sandwich complex on the surface of microplates and elicits HRCA for fluorescent detection. Without complicated operations or special instruments and reagents, the aptasensor can detect S1 protein with a LOD of 89.7 fg/mL in the linear range of 100 fg/mL to 1 μg/mL. And it can also detect SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudovirus in artificial saliva with a LOD of 51 TU/μL. Therefore, this simple and ultrasensitive aptasensor has the potential to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection at early stages. It may improve the timeliness and accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and demonstrate a strategy to conduct aptasensors for other targets.

Abstract
In this work, gold nanoparticles@Ti3C2 MXenes nanocomposites with excellent properties were combined with toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement reaction to construct an electrochemical circulating tumor DNA biosensor. The gold nanoparticles were synthesized in situ on the surface of Ti3C2 MXenes as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The good electrical conductivity of the gold nanoparticles@Ti3C2 MXenes composite and the nucleic acid amplification strategy of enzyme-free toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement reaction can be used to efficiently and specifically detect the non-small cell cancer biomarker circulating tumor DNA KRAS gene. The biosensor has a linear detection range of 10 fM −10 nM and a detection limit of 0.38 fM, and also efficiently distinguishes single base mismatched DNA sequences. The biosensor has been successfully used for the sensitive detection of KRAS gene G12D, which has excellent potential for clinical analysis and provides a new idea for the preparation of novel MXenes-based two-dimensional composites and their application in electrochemical DNA biosensors.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a broad-spectrum anti-tumor drug, but its clinical application is greatly limited because of the cardiotoxicity. Thus, exploration of effective therapies against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is necessary. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of Trametes Sanguinea Lyoyd fermented crude polysaccharide (TSLFACP) against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. We investigated the protective effects of TSLFACP on myocardial injury and its possible mechanisms using two in vitro cells of DOX-treated cardiomyocytes H9C2 and embryonic myocardial cell line CCC-HEH-2 and a in vivo mouse model of DOX-induced myocardial injury. We found that TSLFACP could reverse DOX-induced toxicity in H9C2 and CCC-HEH-2 cells. Similarly, we found that when pretreatment with TSLFACP (200 mg/kg, i.g.) daily for 6 days, DOX-induced myocardial damage was attenuated, including the decrease in serum myocardial injury index, and the amelioration in cardiac histopathological morphology. Additionally, immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to identify the underlying and possible signal pathways. We found that TSLFACP attenuated the expression of LC3-II, Beclin-1 and PRAP induced by DOX. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that TSLFACP could protect against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting autophagy and apoptosis.

Abstract
The emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants made emerging novel coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) pandemic/endemic/or both more severe and difficult to manage due to increased worry about the efficacy and efficiency of present preventative, therapeutic, and sensing measures. To deal with these unexpected circumstances, the development of novel nano-systems with tuneable optical, electrical, magnetic, and morphological properties can lead to novel research needed for (1) COVID-19 infection (anti-microbial systems against SARS-CoV-2), (2) early detection of mutated SARS-CoV-2, and (3) targeted delivery of therapeutics using nano-systems, i.e., nanomedicine. However, there is a knowledge gap in understanding all these nano-biotechnology potentials for managing mutated SARS-CoV-2 on a single platform. To bring up the aspects of nanotechnology to tackle SARS-CoV-2 variants related COVID-19 pandemic, this article emphasizes improvements in the high-performance of nano-systems to combat SARS-CoV-2 strains/variants with a goal of managing COVID-19 infection via trapping, eradication, detection/sensing, and treatment of virus. The potential of state-of-the-art nano-assisted approaches has been demonstrated as an efficient drug delivery systems, viral disinfectants, vaccine productive cargos, anti-viral activity, and biosensors suitable for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. Furthermore, the process linked with the efficacy of nanosystems to neutralize and eliminate SARS-CoV-2 is extensively highligthed in this report. The challenges and opportunities associated with managing COVID-19 using nanotechnology as part of regulations are also well-covered. The outcomes of this review will help researchers to design, investigate, and develop an appropriate nano system to manage COVID-19 infection, with a focus on the detection and eradication of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. This article is unique in that it discusses every aspect of high-performance nanotechnology for ideal COVID pandemic management.

Abstract
With the emergence of DNA nanotechnology in the 1980s, self-assembled DNA nanostructures have attracted considerable attention worldwide due to their inherent biocompatibility, unsurpassed programmability, and versatile functions. Especially promising nanostructures are tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), first proposed by Turberfield with the use of a one-step annealing approach. Benefiting from their various merits, such as simple synthesis, high reproducibility, structural stability, cellular internalization, tissue permeability, and editable functionality, tFNAs have been widely applied in the biomedical field as three-dimensional DNA nanomaterials. Surprisingly, tFNAs exhibit positive effects on cellular biological behaviors and tissue regeneration, which may be used to treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases. According to their intended application and carrying capacity, tFNAs could carry functional nucleic acids or therapeutic molecules through extended sequences, sticky-end hybridization, intercalation, and encapsulation based on the Watson and Crick principle. Additionally, dynamic tFNAs also have potential applications in controlled and targeted therapies. This review summarized the latest progress in pure/modified/dynamic tFNAs and demonstrated their regenerative medicine applications. These applications include promoting the regeneration of the bone, cartilage, nerve, skin, vasculature, or muscle and treating diseases such as bone defects, neurological disorders, joint-related inflammatory diseases, periodontitis, and immune diseases.

Abstract
Herein, an exogenous luminophore-free and disposable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was established for rapid response of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using programmable Y-shaped probes (Y-probes) with proximity bivalent recognition. Specifically, the indium tin oxide thin film coated glass electrode (ITO) was modified with urchin-like porous TiO2 microspheres (pTiO2 MSs), which could achieve strong and stable ECL in S2O82- solution due to the dual promoting effect of the coreaction accelerator pTiO2 MSs, exhibiting 2.7-fold higher ECL intensity in comparison with that of bare ITO. Moreover, the Y-probes as bivalent recognition elements containing two kinds of cardiac troponin I (cTnI, a biomarker of AMI) aptamers and a linker labeled with ferrocene (L-Fc) were designed to export a "signal off" mode. When the target cTnI was in the proximity of the Y-probes, the L-Fc was separated from the electrode surface due to the proximity recognition of cTnI and its aptamers, achieving the highly effective recovery of ECL, which allowed for a much more rapid detection of cTnI than the sandwich-type immunoassay. As a proof of concept, an exogenous luminophore-free and disposable ECL platform for rapid and sensitive monitoring of cTnI was obtained and displayed a desired linear range from 100 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 30.1 fg mL-1, which can be ingeniously expanded as a portable home tester with ECL biosensors developments.

Abstract
Existing public health emergencies due to fatal/infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and monkeypox have raised the paradigm of 5th generation portable and intelligent multifunctional biosensors embedded on a single chip. The state-of-the-art 5th generation biosensors are concerned with integrating advanced functional materials with controllable electronic attributes and optimal machine processability. In this direction, 2D metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), owing to their enhanced effective surface area, tunable physicochemical attributes, and rich surface functionalities, have shown promising performances in biosensing flatlands. Moreover, their hybridization with diversified nanomaterials caters to their associated challenges for the commercialization of stability due to restacking and oxidation. MXenes and its hybrid biosensors have demonstrated intelligent and lab-on-chip prospects for determining diverse biomarkers/pathogens related to fatal and infectious diseases. Recently, on-site detection has been clubbed with solution-on-chip MXenes by interfacing biosensors with modern-age technologies, including 5G communication, internet-of-medical-things (IoMT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data clouding to progress toward hospital-on-chip (HOC) modules. This review comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art MXene fabrication, advancements in physicochemical properties to architect biosensors, and the progress of MXene-based lab-on-chip biosensors toward HOC solutions. Besides, it discusses sustainable aspects, practical challenges and alternative solutions associated with these modules to develop personalized and remote health solutions for every individual in the world.

Sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor based on Au-modified conductive octahedral carbon architecture and snowflake-like PtCuNi for the sensitive detection of cardiac troponin I. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 212:114431. [PMID: 35671701 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The cardiac troponin I (cTnI) detection is increasingly significant given its promising value in the clinical acute myocardial infarction diagnosis. Here a sensitive sandwich-type cTnI electrochemical aptasensor was developed by using zirconium-carbon loaded with Au (Au/Zr-C) as electrode-modified material and snowflake-like PtCuNi catalyst as label material. The Au/Zr-C was prepared from a carbonation process and a reduction step. The PtCuNi was synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal reaction. On the one hand, due to its many merits of large effective area, rich pores, high degree of graphitization, the assistance of Au, the Au/Zr-C exhibited remarkable electronic conductivity but low catalytical capacity, thus improving the electrochemical property but lowing the background signal of electrode. On the other hand, because of its accessible active sites of the special snowflake-like structure and the synergy of three elements, the PtCuNi catalyst presented excellent catalytic activity and improved stability compared to binary alloy. The recognition reactions were achieved by stepwise incubation of aptamer 1, cTnI, and aptamer 2-PtCuNi (denoted as Apt2-label) on the Au/Zr-C-modified electrode. The electrocatalytic signals of the immobilized Apt2-label towards the H2O2 reduction were recorded in all tests for cTnI analysis. Consequently, this cTnI aptasensor exhibited excellent performance involving a wide linear range of 100 ng mL-1 to 0.01 pg mL-1 with a detection limit of 1.24 × 10-3 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3), good selectivity, satisfying reproducibility, outstanding stability, and good recovery.

Abstract
In this work, a CRISPR/Cas12a initiated switchable ternary electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor combined with a Co3O4@Au nanoemitter is presented for the in vitro monitoring of miRNA-141. Benefiting from the advantages of high-throughput cargo payload capability and superconductivity, three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (3D-rGO) was designated as an introductory conducting stratum of a paper working electrode (PWE). With the collaborative participation of Co3O4@Au NPs, the transmutation of TPrA in the Ru(bpy)32+/TPrA system can be riotously expedited into exorbitant free radical ions TPrA•, which provoked the exaggeration of the ECL signal. Moreover, the programmable enzyme-free hybrid chain reaction (HCR) amplifier on the PWE surface accurately anchored the assembly of nucleic acid tandem and accomplished the secondary recursion of the signal. Impressively, the multifunctional CRISPR/Cas12a with nonspecific cis/trans-splitting decomposition manipulated the photoswitch of the "on-off" signal state that avoided the false-positive diagnosis. The presented multistrategy cooperative biosensor demonstrated extraordinary sensitivity and specificity, with a low detection limit of 3.3 fM (S/N = 3) in the concentration scope from 10 fM to 100 nM, which fully corresponded to the expectation. Overall, this innovative methodology paved a generous avenue for evaluating multifarious biotransformations and provided a tremendous impetus to the development of real-time diagnosis and clinical detection of other biomarkers.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a typical mycotoxin in cereals and poses tremendous threats to the ecological environment and public health. Therefore, exploiting sensitive and robust analytical methods for DON is particularly important. Here, we fabricated a CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) aptasensor to detect DON by using single-stranded DNA modified upconversion nanoparticles (ssDNA-UCNPs) as anti-interference luminescence labels and gold nanoparticle-decorated Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (MXene-Au) as enhanced quenchers. The DON aptamer can activate the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a to indiscriminately cut nearby ssDNA-UCNPs into small fragments, which prevents ssDNA-UCNPs from adsorbing onto MXene-Au, and the upconversion luminescence (UCL) remains. Upon the binding of the aptamer with DON, the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a was suppressed, and the ssDNA-UCNPs were not cleaved and easily adsorbed onto MXene-Au, which caused UCL quenching. Under optimized conditions, the limit of detection was determined to be 0.64 ng/mL with a linear range of 1 - 500 ng/mL. In addition, the sensor was successfully applied to detect DON in corn flour and Tai Lake water with recoveries of 96.2 - 105% and 95.2 - 104%, respectively. This platform achieves a sensitive and specific analysis of DON and greatly broadens the detection range of CRISPR-Cas sensors for non-nucleic acids hazards in the environment and food.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the world, causing enormous loss of lives. A greater impact on the economy was also observed worldwide. During the pandemic, the antimicrobial aprons, face masks, sterilizers, sensor processed touch-free sanitizers, and highly effective diagnostic devices having greater sensitivity and selectivity helped to foster the healthcare facilities. Furthermore, the research and development sectors are tackling this emergency with the rapid invention of vaccines and medicines. In this regard, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are greatly explored to combat the extreme severity of the pandemic. Among the nanomaterials, the 2D MXene is a prospective element due to its unique properties like greater surface functionalities, enhanced conductivity, superior hydrophilicity, and excellent photocatalytic and/or photothermal properties. These unique properties of MXene can be utilized to fabricate face masks, PPE kits, face shields, and biomedical instruments like efficient biosensors having greater antiviral activities. MXenes can also cure comorbidities in COVID-19 patients and have high drug loading as well as controlled drug release capacity. Moreover, the remarkable biocompatibility of MXene adds a feather in its cap for diverse biomedical applications. This review briefly explains the different synthesis processes of 2D MXenes, their biocompatibility, cytotoxicity and antiviral features. In addition, this review also discusses the viral cycle of SARS-CoV-2 and its inactivation mechanism using MXene. Finally, various applications of MXene for combatting the COVID-19 pandemic and their future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Determination of specific cardiac biomarkers (CBs) during the diagnosis and management of adverse cardiovascular events such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has become commonplace in emergency department (ED), cardiology and many other ward settings. Cardiac troponins (cTnT and cTnI) and natriuretic peptides (BNP and NT-pro-BNP) are the preferred biomarkers in clinical practice for the diagnostic workup of AMI, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and other types of myocardial ischaemia and heart failure (HF), while the roles and possible clinical applications of several other potential biomarkers continue to be evaluated and are the subject of several comprehensive reviews. The requirement for rapid, repeated testing of a small number of CBs in ED and cardiology patients has led to the development of point-of-care (PoC) technology to circumvent the need for remote and lengthy testing procedures in the hospital pathology laboratories. Electroanalytical sensing platforms have the potential to meet these requirements. This review aims firstly to reflect on the potential benefits of rapid CB testing in critically ill patients, a very distinct cohort of patients with deranged baseline levels of CBs. We summarise their source and clinical relevance and are the first to report the required analytical ranges for such technology to be of value in this patient cohort. Secondly, we review the current electrochemical approaches, including its sub-variants such as photoelectrochemical and electrochemiluminescence, for the determination of important CBs highlighting the various strategies used, namely the use of micro- and nanomaterials, to maximise the sensitivities and selectivities of such approaches. Finally, we consider the challenges that must be overcome to allow for the commercialisation of this technology and transition into intensive care medicine.

Abstract
Serological antigen testing has emerged as an important diagnostic paradigm in COVID-19, but often suffers from potential cross-reactivity. To address this limitation, we herein report a label-free electrochemical aptamer-based sensor for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen by integrating aptamer-based specific recognition with CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated signal amplification. The sensing principle is based on the competitive binding of antigen and the preassembled Cas12a-crRNA complex to the antigen-specific aptamer, resulting in a change in the collateral cleavage activity of Cas12a. To further generate an electrochemical signal, a DNA architecture was fabricated by in situ rolling circle amplification on a gold electrode, which serves as a novel substrate for Cas12a. Upon Cas12a-based collateral DNA cleavage, the DNA architecture was degraded, leading to a significant decrease in impedance that can be measured spectroscopically. Using SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen as the model, the proposed CRISPR-Cas12a-based electrochemical sensor (CRISPR-E) showed excellent analytical performance for the quantitative detection of nucleocapsid antigen. Since in vitro selection can obtain aptamers selective for many SARS-CoV-2 antigens, the proposed strategy can expand this powerful CRISPR-E system significantly for quantitative monitoring of a wide range of COVID-19 biomarkers.

Abstract
MXenes are layered two-dimensional (2D) materials discovered in 2011 (Ti3C2X) and are otherwise called 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. These 2D layered materials have been in the limelight for a decade due to their interesting properties such as large surface area, high ion transport, biocompatibility, and low diffusion barrier. Therefore, MXenes are widely preferred by researchers for applications in electronics, sensing, biosensing, electrocatalysis, super-capacitors and fuel cells. There are a number of methods available for the bulk synthesis of MXene-based nanomaterials. In addition, the possibility of structural modification as required and its outstanding surface chemistry offer a fascinating interface for the development of novel biosensors. In this review, we specifically discuss important MXene synthesis routes. Moreover, critical parameters such as surface functionalization that can dictate the mechanical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of MXenes are also discussed. Following this, methods available for the surface functionalization and modification strategies of MXenes are also discussed. Furthermore, the emergence of gas, electrochemical, and optical biosensors based on MXenes since its first report is discussed in detail. Finally, future directions of MXenes biosensors for critical applications are discussed.

[PMID: 36105989 PMCID: PMC9372877 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04162f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The global pandemic of COVID-19, which began in late 2019, has resulted in extremely high morbidity and severe mortality worldwide, with important implications for human health, international trade, and national politics. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is the primary pathogen causing COVID-19. Analytical chemistry played an important role in this global epidemic event, and detection of SARS-CoV-2 even became a part of daily life. Analytical chemists have devoted much effort and enthusiasm to this event, and different analytical techniques have shown very rapid development. Electrochemical biosensors are highly efficient, sensitive, and cost-effective and have been used to detect many highly pathogenic viruses long before this event. However, another fact is that electrochemical biosensors are not the technology of choice for most detection applications. This review describes for the first time the role played by electrochemical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 detection from a bibliometric perspective. This paper analyzed 254 relevant research papers up to June 2022. The contributions of different countries and institutions to this topic were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explore different methodological attempts of electrochemical detection techniques. More importantly, we are trying to find an answer to the question: do electrochemical biosensors have the potential to become a genuinely employable detection technology in an outbreak of infectious disease? This review describes for the first time the role played by electrochemical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 detection from a bibliometric perspective.![]()

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