Abstract
Cancer prevention encompasses both screening strategies to find cancers early when they are likely to be most treatable and prevention and interception strategies to reduce the risk of developing cancers. Bioconjugates, here defined broadly as materials and molecules that have synthetic and biological components, have roles to play across the cancer-prevention spectrum. In particular, bioconjugates may be developed as affordable, accessible, and effective screening strategies or as novel vaccines and drugs to reduce one's risk of developing cancers. Developmental programs are available for taking novel technologies and evaluating them for clinical use in cancer screening and prevention. While a variety of different challenges exist in implementing cancer-prevention interventions, a thoughtful approach to bioconjugates could improve the delivery and acceptability of the interventions.

Multiarmed DNA jumper and metal-organic frameworks-functionalized paper-based bioplatform for small extracellular vesicle-derived miRNAs assay. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:274.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicle-derived microRNAs (sEV-miRNAs) have emerged as promising noninvasive biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. Herein, we developed a molecular probe based on three-dimensional (3D) multiarmed DNA tetrahedral jumpers (mDNA-Js)-assisted DNAzyme activated by Na+, combined with a disposable paper-based electrode modified with a Zr-MOF-rGO-Au NP nanocomplex (ZrGA) to fabricate a novel biosensor for sEV-miRNAs Assay. Zr-MOF tightly wrapped by rGO was prepared via a one-step method, and it effectively aids electron transfer and maximizes the effective reaction area. In addition, the mechanically rigid, and nanoscale-addressable mDNA-Js assembled from the bottom up ensure the distance and orientation between fixed biological probes as well as avoid probe entanglement, considerably improving the efficiency of molecular hybridization. The fabricated bioplatform achieved the sensitive detection of sEV-miR-21 with a detection limit of 34.6 aM and a dynamic range from100 aM to 0.2 µM. In clinical blood sample tests, the proposed bioplatform showed results highly consistent with those of qRT-PCRs and the signal increased proportionally with the NSCLC staging. The proposed biosensor with a portable wireless USB-type analyzer is promising for the fast, easy, low-cost, and highly sensitive detection of various nucleic acids and their mutation derivatives, making it ideal for POC biosensing.

A "signal off-on" fluorescence bioassay based on 2D-MoS 2-tetrahedral DNA bioconjugate for rapid virus detection. Talanta 2024; 270:125497.

Abstract
In this work we present the preparation of a 2D molybdenum disulphide nanosheets (2D-MoS2) and tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) bioconjugate, and its application to the development of a bioassay for rapid and easy virus detection. The bioconjugate has been prepared by using TDNs carrying the capture probe labelled with 6-carboxyfluoresceine (6-FAM). As case of study to assess the utility of the assay developed, we have chosen the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Hence, as probe we have used a DNA sequence complementary to a region of the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab gene (TDN-ORF-FAM). This 6-FAM labelled capture probe is located on the top vertex of the tetrahedral DNA nanostructure, the three left vertices of TDNs have a thiol group. These TDNs are bounded to 2D-MoS2 surface through the three thiol groups, allowing the capture probe to be oriented to favour the biorecognition reaction with the analyte. This biorecognition resulting platform has finally been challenged to the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab gene sequence as the target model by measuring fluorescence before and after the hybridization event with a detection limit of 19.7fM. Furthermore, due to high sensitivity of the proposed methodology, it has been applied to directly detect the virus in nasopharyngeal samples of infected patients without the need of any amplification step. The developed bioassay has a wide range of applicability since it can be applied to the detection of any pathogen by changing the probe corresponding to the target sequence. Thus, a novel, hands-on strategy for rapid pathogen detection has proposed and has a high potential application value in the early diagnosis of infections causes by virus or bacteria.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in many cellular processes, and so how to probe them has attracted increasing interest. Here we propose an aptamer-functionalized dimeric framework nucleic acid (FNA) nanoplatform for effective capture of exosomes and directly probing internal miRNAs with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection, not requiring RNA extraction in conventional counterparts. A CD63 protein-binding aptamer is tethered to one of the FNA structures, allowing exosomes to be immobilized there and release internal miRNAs after lysis. The target miRNA induces the formation of a Y-shaped junction on another FNA structure in a close proximity state, which benefits the loading of covalently hemin-modified spherical nucleic acid enzymes for enhanced ECL readout in the luminol-H2O2 system. In this facile way, the ultrasensitive detection of exosomal miR-21 from cancer cells is accomplished and then used for cell apoptosis analysis, indicating that the oncogene miR-21 negatively participates in the regulation of the apoptotic process; namely, downregulating the miR-21 level is unbeneficial for cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Precise and sensitive analysis of exosomal microRNA (miRNA) is of great importance for noninvasive early disease diagnosis, but it remains a great challenge to detect exosomal miRNA in human blood samples because of their small size, high sequence homology, and low abundance. Herein, we integrated reliable Pt-S bond-mediated three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanomachine and magnetic separation in a homogeneous electrochemical strategy for the detection of exosomal miRNA with low background and high sensitivity. The 3D DNA nanomachine was easily prepared via a facile and rapid freezing method, and it was capable of resisting the influence of biothiols, thus endowing it with high stability. Notably, the as-developed magnetic 3D DNA nanomachine not only enabled the detection system to have a low background but also coupled with liposome nanocarriers to synergistically amplify the current signal. Consequently, by ingeniously combining the low background and multiple signal-amplification strategies in homogeneous electrochemical biosensing, highly sensitive detection of exosomal miRNA was successfully achieved. More significantly, with good anti-interference ability, the as-proposed method could effectively discriminate plasma samples from cancer patients and healthy subjects, thus showing a high potential for application in the nondestructive early clinical diagnosis of disease.

Abstract
The development of a simple and fast cancer detection method is crucial since early diagnosis is a key factor in increasing survival rates for lung cancer patients. Among several diagnosis methods, the electrochemical sensor is the most promising one due to its outstanding performance, portability, real-time analysis, robustness, amenability, and cost-effectiveness. Conducting polymer (CP) composites have been frequently used to fabricate a robust sensor device, owing to their excellent physical and electrochemical properties as well as biocompatibility with nontoxic effects on the biological system. This review brings up a brief overview of the importance of electrochemical biosensors for the early detection of lung cancer, with a detailed discussion on the design and development of CP composite materials for biosensor applications. The review covers the electrochemical sensing of numerous lung cancer markers employing composite electrodes based on the conducting polyterthiophene, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polyaniline, polypyrrole, molecularly imprinted polymers, and others. In addition, a hybrid of the electrochemical biosensors and other techniques was highlighted. The outlook was also briefly discussed for the development of CP composite-based electrochemical biosensors for POC diagnostic devices.

Abstract
A green electrochemical biosensor was developed based on metal-organic framework (MOF)-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) for quantifying miRNA-21, used as the proof-of-concept analyte. Unlike conventional ATRP, Mn-PCN-222 (PCN, porous coordination network) could be used as an alternative for green catalyst to substitute traditional catalysts. First, poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) was fixed on the surface of the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode, and then the Mn-PCN-222 was linked to ITO electrode via electrostatic binding with PDDA. Next, aminated ssDNA (NH2-DNA) was used to modify the electrode further by amide reaction with Mn-PCN-222. Then, the recognition and hybridization of NH2-DNA with miRNA-21 prompt the generation of DNA-RNA complexes, which further hybridize with Fc-DNA@β-CD-Br15 and permit the initiator to be immobilized on the electrode surface. Accordingly, β-CD-Br15 could initiate the polymerization of ferrocenylmethyl methacrylates (FcMMA) under the catalysis of MOF to complete the ATRP reaction. FcMMA presented a distinct electrochemical signal at ~ 0.33 V. Taking advantage of the unique multi-site properties of β-CD-Br15 and the efficient catalytic reaction induced by Mn-PCN-222, ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 was achieved with a detection limit of 0.4 fM. The proposed electrochemical biosensor has been applied to the detection of miRNA-21 in serum samples. Therefore, the proposed strategy exhibited potential in early clinical biomedicine.

Abstract
Around the world, lung cancer has long been the main factor in cancer-related deaths, with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) being the deadliest form of lung cancer. Cancer cell-derived exosomes and exosomal miRNAs are considered promising biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosis of various diseases, including SCLC. Due to the rapidity of SCLC metastasis, early detection and diagnosis can offer better diagnosis and prognosis and therefore increase the patient's chances of survival. Over the past several years, many methodologies have been developed for analyzing non-SCLC-derived exosomes. However, minimal advances have been made in SCLC-derived exosome analysis methodologies. This Review discusses the epidemiology and prominent biomarkers of SCLC. Followed by a discussion about the effective strategies for isolating and detecting SCLC-derived exosomes and exosomal miRNA, highlighting the critical challenges and limitations of current methodologies. Finally, an overview is provided detailing future perspectives for exosome-based SCLC research.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associated with lung cancer are diversifying. MiR-21, Let-7, and miR-141 are common diagnostic targets. Some new lung cancer miRNAs, such as miR-25, miR-145, and miR-126, have received increasing attention. Although various techniques are available for the analysis of lung cancer miRNAs, electrochemistry has been recognized for its high sensitivity, low cost, and rapid response. However, how to realize the signal amplification is one of the most important contents in the design of electrochemical biosensors. Herein, we mainly introduce the amplification strategy based on enzyme-free amplification and signal conversion, including non-linear HCR, catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and Faraday cage. Furthermore, new progress has emerged in the fields of nanomaterials, low oxidation potential, and simultaneous detection of multiple targets. Finally, we summarize some new challenges that electrochemical techniques may encounter in the future, such as improving single-base discrimination ability, shortening electrochemical detection time, and providing real body fluid samples assay.

Abstract
We report the advantages of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) non-covalently functionalized with polyarginine (PolyArg) for the adsorption and electrooxidation of different DNAs and the analytical applications of the resulting platform. The presence of the carbon nanostructures, and mainly the charge of the PolyArg that supports them, facilitates the adsorption of calf-thymus and salmon sperm double-stranded DNAs and produces an important decrease in the overvoltages for the oxidation of guanine and adenine residues and a significant enhancement in the associated currents. As a proof-of-concept of possible GCE/MWCNTs-PolyArg biosensing applications, we develop an impedimetric genosensor for the quantification of microRNA-21 at femtomolar levels, using GCE/MWCNTs-PolyArg as a platform for immobilizing the DNA probe, with a detection limit of 3fM, a sensitivity of 1.544 × 103 Ω M-1, and a successful application in enriched biological fluids.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, single-stranded, noncoding RNAs, with a length of about 18–22 nucleotides. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are derived from cells and play a vital role in the development of diseases and can be used as biomarkers for liquid biopsy, as they are the carriers of miRNA. Existing studies have found that most of the functions of miRNA are mainly realized through intercellular transmission of EVs, which can protect and sort miRNAs. Meanwhile, detection sensitivity and specificity of EV-derived miRNA are higher than those of conventional serum biomarkers. In recent years, EVs have been expected to become a new marker for liquid biopsy. This review summarizes recent progress in several aspects of EVs, including sorting mechanisms, diagnostic value, and technology for isolation of EVs and detection of EV-derived miRNAs. In addition, the study reviews challenges and future research avenues in the field of EVs, providing a basis for the application of EV-derived miRNAs as a disease marker to be used in clinical diagnosis and even for the development of point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms.

Abstract
Exosomes are a class of the nanosized extracellular vesicles, which have emerged as representative liquid biopsy biomarkers. To date, the electrochemical nanosensors are of great significance in the exosome detection with the advantages of easy operation, high accuracy and reliable repeatability. Especially, the growing field of nano interface has provided the electrochemical sensing platforms for the accurate exosomes analysis. The incorporation of multiple nanomaterials can take advantages and synergistic properties of functional units. So, based on the integration of with nanomaterial-based signal transduction and specific biorecognition, the nano-sensing interface provides excellent electrochemical features owing to rapid mass transport and excellent conductivity. The nano-sensing interface with a wide variety of morphologies and structure also provides the large active surface area for the immobilization of bio-capturing agents. Furthermore, through the design of nanostructured electrode array, the efficiency of transducer can be greatly improved. It should be noticed that the elaboration of a proper sensor requires the profound knowledge of the nano-sensing interface. Therefore, this article presents a review of the recent advance in exosomes detection based on the electrochemical nano-sensing interface, including electrochemical analysis principles, exosome sensing mechanisms, nano-interface construction strategies, as well as the typical diagnosis application. In particular, the article is focused on the exploration of the various electrochemical sensing performance of nano-interface in the exosome detection. We have also prospected the future trend and challenge of the electrochemical nano-sensing interface for exosomes analysis in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Simple and accurate monitoring of urinary dopamine (DA) concentration is significant, which is helpful for the assessment or exclusion of catecholamine-producing tumors, such as pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Herein, a fluorescence/colorimetry/smartphone triple-mode sensing platform for DA determination was constructed using copper ion (Cu2+)-modified hydrazone-linked covalent organic frameworks (Cu-BTA-COF). Cu-BTA-COF with 21.67 wt % copper content exhibited peroxidase-mimic activity. After adding H2O2 and 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene, the Cu-BTA-COF platform can sensitively and selectively detect DA in three modes with consistent results. In fluorescence/colorimetry/smartphone modes, the linear ranges of DA were 1-10, 0.2-40, and 1-10 μM, with related detection limits of 7.2, 8.6, and 23 nM, respectively. Moreover, the Cu-BTA-COF platform can be explored for DA determination in human urine samples with satisfactory recoveries (97.6-100.4%) in all the three modes, suggesting the potential practical application of the Cu-BTA-COF platform for DA detection in urine.
