Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women, which accounts for 6.9% of all cancer-related deaths. Early diagnosis is crucial for making the best clinical decision and improving the prognosis of patients. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been regarded as significant tumor biomarkers. Herein, we designed a colorimetric biosensor for breast cancer CTCs quantification based on ladder-branch hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and DNA flowers/gold nanoclusters (DFs/AuNCs) nanozyme. With the assistance of complementary DNA labeled on magnetic beads (MBs), the cleavage products of RNA-cleaving DNAzymes (RCDs) could be rapidly captured, subsequently triggering ladder-branch HCR. In addition, the DFs/AuNCs nanozyme was applied for colorimetric analysis, which further improved the sensitivity for the detection of target CTCs. Benefiting from specific RCDs, ladder-branch HCR and DFs/AuNCs, we achieved a superior detection limit of 3 cells/mL as well as a broad linear range of 10 cells/mL to 104 cells/mL. Conclusively, this colorimetric biosensor achieved sensitively and selectively detection of breast cancer CTCs without the participation of enzymes at room temperature, which might provide new insight into the early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as a promising technology for cancer detection due to their high sensitivity, rapid response, low cost, and capability for non-invasive detection. Recent advances in nanomaterials like nanoparticles, graphene, and nanowires have enhanced sensor performance to allow for cancer biomarker detection, like circulating tumor cells, nucleic acids, proteins and metabolites, at ultra-low concentrations. However, several challenges need to be addressed before electrochemical biosensors can be clinically implemented. These include improving sensor selectivity in complex biological media, device miniaturization for implantable applications, integration with data analytics, handling biomarker variability, and navigating regulatory approval. This editorial critically examines the prospects of electrochemical biosensors for efficient, low-cost and minimally invasive cancer screening. We discuss recent developments in nanotechnology, microfabrication, electronics integration, multiplexing, and machine learning that can help realize the potential of these sensors. However, significant interdisciplinary efforts among researchers, clinicians, regulators and the healthcare industry are still needed to tackle limitations in selectivity, size constraints, data interpretation, biomarker validation, toxicity and commercial translation. With committed resources and pragmatic strategies, electrochemical biosensors could enable routine early cancer detection and dramatically reduce the global cancer burden.

Abstract
In this study, an electrochemical biosensor was constructed for the detection of fibrin, specifically by a simple two-step approach, with a novel artificial enzyme (Tetrazyme) based on the DNA tetrahedral framework as signal probe. The multichannel screen-printed electrode with the activated surface cannot only remove some biological impurities, but also serve as a carrier to immobilize a large number of antigen proteins. The DNA tetrahedral nanostructure was employed to ensure the high sensitivity of the probe for biological analysis. The hemin was chimeric into the G-quadruplex to constitute the complex with peroxidase catalytic activity (hemin/G4-DNAzyme), subsequently, Tetrazyme was formed through combining of this complex and DNA tetrahedral nucleic acid framework. The artificial enzyme signal probe formed by the covalent combination of the homing peptide (Cys-Arg-Glu-Lys-Ala, CREKA), which is the aptamer of fibrin and the new artificial enzyme is fixed on the surface of the multichannel carbon electrode by CREKA-specific recognition, so as to realize the sensitive detection of fibrin. The feasibility of sensing platform was validated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometric i-t curve (IT) methods. Effects of Tetrazyme concentration, CREKA concentrations and hybridization time on the sensor were explored. Under the best optimal conditions of 0.6 μmol/L Tetrazyme, 80 μmol/L CREKA, and 2.5 h reaction time, the immunosensor had two linear detection ranges, 10-40 nmol/L, with linear regression equation Y = 0.01487X - 0.011 (R2 = 0.992), and 50-100 nmol/L, with linear regression equation Y = 0.00137X + 0.6405 (R2 = 0.998), the detection limit was 9.4 nmol/L, S/N ≥ 3. The biosensor could provide a new method with great potential for the detection of fibrin with good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
The early and non-invasive diagnosis of tumor diseases has been widely investigated by the scientific community focusing on the development of sensors/biomarkers that act as a way of recognizing the adhesion of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). As a challenge in this area, strategies for CTCs capture and enrichment currently require improvements in the sensors/biomarker's selectivity. This can be achieved by understanding the biological recognition factors for different cancer cell lines and also by understanding the interaction between surface parameters and the affinity between macromolecules and the cell surface. To overcome some of these concerns, electrochemical sensors have been used as precise, fast-response, and low-cost transduction platforms for application in cytosensors. Additionally, distinct materials, geometries, and technologies have been investigated to improve the sensitivity and specificity properties of the support electrode that will transform biochemical events into electrical signals. This review identifies novel approaches regarding the application of different specific biomarkers (CD44, Integrins, and EpCAm) for capturing CTCs. These biomarkers can be applied in electrochemical biosensors as a cytodetection strategy for diagnosis of cancerous diseases.

Abstract
The concentration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood is strongly correlated with the progress of certain metastatic cancers. In this study, we have developed a novel and facile electrochemical biosensor for the detection of CTCs based on the use of manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Aptamer sequence of target cell is modified on the surface of AuNPs for specifical recognition. With low-speed centrifugation, numerous AuNPs@DNA can be removed from the supernatant. On the other hand, MnO2 NSs are modified on the electrode surface to capture unreacted AuNPs@DNA. The declined electrochemical signal intensity can be used to reflect the level of CTCs. This biosensor achieves a wide linear range from 10 to 104 cells mL-1 and a limit of detection as low as 3 cells mL-1. Due to the specific aptamer as the recognition element, interfering cells can be successfully distinguished and this method performs satisfactorily in clinical samples. Therefore, it has great potential to be used as a powerful tool benefiting rare cells analysis and the investigation of dynamics of cellular interactions.

Abstract
The phenotypic heterogeneity of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and the nonspecific adsorption of background cells impede the effective and sensitive detection of rare CTCs. Although leukocyte membrane coating approach has a good antileukocyte adhesion ability and holds great promise for addressing the challenge of capture purity, its limited specificity and sensitivity prevent its use in the detection of heterogeneous CTCs. To overcome these obstacles, a biomimetic biosensor that integrated dual-targeting multivalent aptamer/walker duplex functionalized biomimetic magnetic beads and an enzyme-powered DNA walker signal amplification strategy is designed. As compared to conventional leukocyte membrane coating, the biomimetic biosensor achieves efficient and high purity enrichment of heterogeneous CTCs with different epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) expression while minimizing the interference of leukocytes. Meanwhile, the capture of target cells can trigger the release of walker strands to activate an enzyme-powered DNA walker, resulting in cascade signal amplification and the ultrasensitive and accurate detection of rare heterogeneous CTCs. Importantly, the captured CTCs remained viable and can be recultured in vitro with success. Overall, this work provides a new perspective for the efficient detection of heterogeneous CTCs by biomimetic membrane coating and paves the way for early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of food contaminants is becoming increasingly important for timely prevention and treatment of foodborne disease. In this review, we discuss recent developments of electrochemical biosensors as facile, rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly analytical devices and their applications in food safety analysis, owing to the analytical characteristics of electrochemical detection and to advances in the design and production of bioreceptors (antibodies, DNA, aptamers, peptides, molecular imprinted polymers, enzymes, bacteriophages, etc.). They can offer a low limit of detection required for food contaminants such as allergens, pesticides, antibiotic traces, toxins, bacteria, etc. We provide an overview of a broad range of electrochemical biosensing designs and consider future opportunities for this technology in food control.

Abstract
The isolation and detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play an important role in early cancer diagnosis and prognosis, providing easy access to identify metastatic cells before clinically detectable metastases. In the past 20 years, according to the heterogeneous expression of CTCs on the surface and their special physical properties (size, morphology, electricity, etc.), a series of in vitro enrichment methods of CTCs have been developed based on microfluidic chip technology, nanomaterials and various nanostructures. In recent years, the in vivo detection of CTCs has attracted considerable attention. Photoacoustic flow cytometry and fluorescence flow cytometry were used to detect CTCs in a noninvasive manner. In addition, flexible magnetic wire and indwelling intravascular non-circulating CTCs isolation system were developed for in vivo CTCs study. In the aspect of downstream analysis, gene analysis and drug sensitivity tests of enriched CTCs were developed based on various existing molecular analysis techniques. All of these studies constitute a complete study of CTCs. Although the existing reviews mainly focus on one aspect of capturing CTCs study, a review that includes the in vivo and in vitro capture and downstream analysis study of CTCs is highly needed. This review focuses on not only the classic work and latest research progress in in vitro capture but also includes the in vivo capture and downstream analysis, discussing the advantages and significance of the different research methods and providing new ideas for solving the heterogeneity and rarity of CTCs.

Abstract
The development of effective methods for tracking cancer cells is of significant importance in the early diagnosis and treatment of tumor diseases. Compared with the developed techniques, the electrochemical assay has shown considerable potential for monitoring glycan expression on the cell surface using nondestructive means. However, the application expansion of the electrochemical strategy is strongly impeded owing to its dependence on electroactive species. In this study, a competitive electrochemical strategy was reported for monitoring cancer cells based on mannose (a typical glycan) as a clinical biomarker. Herein, functionalized carbon nanotubes were used to load the thiomannosyl dimer, and thionine-interlinking signal probes were designed for competitive recognition. After effective competition between cancer cells and the anchored mannose, a decreased current was obtained as the cell concentration increased. Under optimal conditions, the proposed biosensor exhibited attractive performance for cancer cell analysis with a detection limit as low as 20 cells per mL for QGY-7701 and 35 cells per mL for QGY-7703, facilitating great promise for the sensitive detection of cancer cells and thus showing potential applications in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are promising liquid biopsy biomarkers for early cancer detection and anti-cancer therapy evaluation. The ultra-low abundance of CTCs in blood samples requires highly sensitive and accurate detection ways. In this study, we propose the design of a dual-recognition electrochemical biosensor to improve both the specificity and signal response. PdPtCuRu mesoporous nanospheres (PdPtCuRu MNSs) with excellent three dimensions (3D) nanopore structures were synthesized by one-pot method and connected to mucin 1 (MUC1) aptamer to serve as signal amplification probe. Besides, superconductive carbon black, Ketjen Black (KB), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified organometallic frame (CeMOF-Au) were combined to work as signal transducer. The characteristic branching structure of KB provides abundant contact points to load CeMOF-Au to heighten the interface electron transfer rate. In addition, AuNPs were reduced on the surface of CeMOF, which could effectively bind the capture antibody and further enhance the conductivity. Under the optimized condition, the limit of detection (LOD) of the as-constructed biosensor was less than 10 cells mL-1 for model A549 cells, and showed good specificity and accuracy in spiked serum samples. We envision the as-proposed electrochemical biosensor would alternate as a useful tool for the clinical detection of CTCs for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Hematogenous metastasis is the main route of cancer spreading, causing majority death of cancer patients. During this process, platelets in the blood are found increasingly essential to promote hematogenous metastasis by forming platelet-interacted circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Hence, we aim to fabricate an integrated method for the availability of capture and detection of such invasive CTCs. Specifically, a new form of channeled and conductive three-dimensional (3D) electrode is constructed by modifying a conductive layer and capture antibody on the templated and channeled poly(dimethylsiloxane) scaffold. The modified antibody enables the capture of the platelet-interacted CTC hybrid, while the conductive layer significantly facilitates electron transfer from electro-active signal molecules that are targeting platelets. Therefore, sensitive electrochemical detection of platelet-interacted CTCs has been realized. Efficient capture and sensitive detection have been demonstrated by this work. Additionally, dynamic analysis of patients' CTCs has also been conducted to provide accurate information about disease assessment and efficacy evaluation. The cut-off line was set as 5.15 nA based on the sample signals from healthy volunteers. Thus, stage III cancer patients with high risk of hematogenous metastasis have been identified. Together, this work shows the development of a new strategy for simultaneous capture and detection of the invasive CTC subtype form patient blood, which favors precise monitoring of hematogenous metastasis.

Abstract
Efficient isolation and downstream bioinformation analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in whole blood contribute to the early diagnosis of cancer and investigation of cancer metastasis. However, the separation and release of CTCs remain a great challenge due to the extreme rarity of CTCs and severe interference from other cells in complex clinical samples. Herein, we developed a low-cost and easy-to-fabricate aptamer-functionalized wafer with a three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous structure by grafting polydopamine (PDA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and aptamer in sequence (Ni@PDA-PEG-Apt) for the capture and release of CTCs. The Ni@PDA-PEG-Apt wafer integrated the features of Ni foam with a 3D interconnected porous structure offering enough tunnels for cells to flow through and enhancing aptamer-cell contact frequency, the spacer PEG with flexible and high hydrophilic property increasing anti-interference ability and providing the wafer with more binding sites for aptamer, which result in an enhanced capture specificity and efficiency for CTCs. Because of these advantages, the Ni@PDA-PEG-Apt wafer achieved a high capture efficiency of 78.25%. The captured cancer cells were mildly released by endonuclease with up to 61.85% efficiency and good proliferation. Furthermore, tumor cells were injected into mice and experienced circulation in vivo. In blood samples after circulation, 65% of target tumor cells can be efficiently captured by the wafer, followed by released and recultured cells with high viability. Further downstream metabolomics analysis showed that target cancer cells remained with high biological activity and can be well separated from MCF-10A cells based on metabolic profiles by the PCA analysis, indicating the great potential of our strategy for further research on the progression of cancer metastasis. Notably, not only is the wafer cheap with a cost of only 3.58 U.S. dollars and easily prepared by environmental-friendly reagents but also the process of capturing and releasing tumor cells can be completed within an hour, which is beneficial for large-scale clinical use in the future.

Ultrasensitive dual-signal electrochemical ratiometric aptasensor based on Co-MOFs with intrinsic self-calibration property for Mucin 1. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1225:340219.

Abstract
The concentration of tumor biomarker Mucin 1 (MUC 1) is highly related with many diseases, which can be employed for the early diagnosis of cancer. In this paper, an electrochemical ratiometric aptasensor with intrinsic self-calibration property for the detection of MUC 1 is presented. In this paper, Co-MOFs themselves were employed as signal substances. This strategy was fabricated by using gold nanoparticles@black phosphorus (BP) as the substrate on the electrode, followed by modification of DNA nanotetrahedrons (DTN) via Au-S bond. The terminal of DTN contains MUC 1 aptamer. In the presence of MUC 1, the signal of DNA-labeled Co-MOFs can be detected. The current signal of Co-MOFs increased and that of thionine (as reference) was unchanged upon the addition of MUC 1. Thus, an intrinsic self-calibration aptasensor was achieved. In order to simplify the modification procedure, the electrolyte solution thionine was employed as an inner reference probe. Moreover, coupling of the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) with these MOFs signal tags presents an enzyme-free method for signal amplification, endowing the proposed ratiometric biosensor detection with high reproducibility and high sensitivity. The current ratio (IIR/ISP) remained stable over 30 individual measurements performed on ten different working electrodes. Even ten repeated scans performed on a single electrode exhibited a constant current ratio. The electrochemical ratiometric aptasensor is highly sensitivity for MUC 1 with the detection limit of 1.34 fM. Our proposed ratiometric sensor has great potential for the detection of cancer-related biomarkers.
