Abstract
Recently, high-entropy alloys have superior physicochemical properties as compared to conventional alloys for their glamorous "cocktail effect". Nevertheless, they are scarcely applied to electrochemical immunoassays until now. Herein, uniform PtRhMoCoFe high-entropy alloyed nanodendrites (HEANDs) were synthesized by a wet-chemical co-reduction method, where glucose and oleylamine behaved as the co-reducing agents. Then, a series of characterizations were conducted to illustrate the synergistic effect among multiple metals and fascinating structural characteristics of PtRhMoCoFe HEANDs. The obtained high-entropy alloy was adopted to build a electrochemical label-free biosensor for ultrasensitive bioassay of biomarker cTnI. In the optimized analytical system, the resultant sensor exhibited a dynamic linear range of 0.0001-200 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 0.0095 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Eventually, this sensing platform was further explored in serum samples with satisfied recovery (102.0 %). This research renders some constructive insights for synthesis of high-entropy alloys and their expanded applications in bioassays and bio-devices.

Abstract
Down-regulator of transcription 1 (DR1) is considered as a biomarker of hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), which is a risk factor for thyroid cancer. Here, a label-free electrochemical biosensor for DR1 detection was constructed based on polyamidoamine (PAMAM) polymer and the nanocomposite (WO3@AuNPs) composed of tungsten trioxide (WO3) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). WO3@AuNPs was obtained by combining monolayer WO3 nanosheets, which has high conductivity, and AuNPs. The modification of WO3@AuNPs can not only increase the conductivity of the electrode but also provide more active sites for signaling units, thus greatly improve the sensitivity of the sensor. The polymer PAMAM is biocompatible and non-immunogenic, and its end functional group can bind to the target molecules, providing them with more binding sites and thus improving the sensitivity of the sensor. Under optimal conditions, the label-free biosensor showed a good linear relationship between the logarithm of DR1 concentration and the impedance in the range of 10 fg ⋅ mL-1 to 100 ng ⋅ mL-1, with a detection limit as low as 0.3 fg ⋅ mL-1. Besides, this label-free electrochemical platform exhibited satisfactory selectivity and anti-interference capability in human serum samples. Therefore, this method has considerable potential in clinical detection of DR1.

Hybridization chain reaction-enhanced electrochemically mediated ATRP coupling high-efficient magnetic separation for electrochemical aptasensing of cardiac troponin I. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1286:342034.

Abstract
The sensitive and accurate detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a gold biomarker for cardiovascular diseases at an early stage is crucial but has long been a challenge. In this study, we presented such an electrochemical (EC) aptasensor by combining hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-enhanced electrochemically mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (eATRP) amplification with high-efficient separation of magnetic beads (MBs). Aptamer-modified MBs empowered effective recognition and separation of cTnI from complex samples with high specificity. The specific binding of cTnI and aptamer could release triggered DNA (T-DNA) into solution to drive an HCR process, which produced plentiful active sites for eATRP initiators labeling followed by initiating eATRP process. With the development of eATRP, a great many of electroactive polymer probes were continually in situ formed to generate amplified current output for signal enhancement. Compared to no amplification, HCR-enhanced eATRP promoted the signals by ∼10-fold, greatly improving detection sensitivity for low-abundant cTnI analysis. Integrating MBs as capture carriers with HCR-enhanced eATRP as amplification strategy, this EC aptasensor achieved a low detection limit of 10.9 fg/mL for cTnI detection. Furthermore, the reliable detectability and anti-interference were confirmed in serum samples, indicating its promising application toward early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

A novel magneto-mediated electrochemical biosensor integrated DNAzyme motor and hollow nanobox-like Pt@Ni-Co electrocatalyst as dual signal amplifiers for vanilla detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 241:115690.

Abstract
Herein, a novel magneto-mediated electrochemical aptasensor using the signal amplification technologies of DNAzyme motor and electrocatalyst for vanilla (VAN) detection was fabricated. The D/B duplex, formed by the DNAzyme motor that was each silenced by a blocker, and hairpin DNA1 (H1) containing adenosine ribonucleotide (rA) site were tethered on the sites of the gold nanoparticles@hollow porphyrinic-Metal-organic framework/polyethyleneimine-reduced graphene oxide (AuHPCN-222/PEI-rGO)-modified gold electrode (AuE). Then, after homogeneous and specific recognition in the presence of the VAN, trigger DNA was released and enriched by magnetic separation technique and introduced to the sensing platform to activate the DNAzyme motor, which efficiently improved target recognition capability and avoided the obstacle of multiple DNA strands tangling. More interestingly, the activated DNAzyme motor could repeatedly bind to and cleave H1 in the presence of Mg2+, leading to the exposure of a plethora of capture probes. The thionine (Thi) functionalized hairpin DNA2 (H2)-Pt@Ni-Co as signal probes could hybridize with capture probes. Additionally, the Pt@Ni-Co electrocatalysts presented catalytic activity towards Thi to obtain stronger electrochemical signals. VAN with concentrations ranging from 1 × 10-6 to 10 μM was determined and a detection limit was down to 0.15 pM. The designed electrochemical sensor was highly selective with specificity, stability, reproducibility, and reliable capability for monitoring the VAN in real samples.

Abstract
Aptasensors have attracted considerable interest and widespread application in point-of-care testing worldwide. One of the biggest challenges of a point-of-care (POC) is the reduction of treatment time compared to central facilities that diagnose and monitor the applications. Over the past decades, biosensors have been introduced that offer more reliable, cost-effective, and accurate detection methods. Aptamer-based biosensors have unprecedented advantages over biosensors that use natural receptors such as antibodies and enzymes. In the current epidemic, point-of-care testing (POCT) is advantageous because it is easy to use, more accessible, faster to detect, and has high accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the burden of testing on healthcare systems. POCT is beneficial for daily epidemic control as well as early detection and treatment. This review provides detailed information on the various design strategies and virus detection methods using aptamer-based sensors. In addition, we discussed the importance of different aptamers and their detection principles. Aptasensors with higher sensitivity, specificity, and flexibility are critically discussed to establish simple, cost-effective, and rapid detection methods. POC-based aptasensors' diagnostic applications are classified and summarised based on infectious and infectious diseases. Finally, the design factors to be considered are outlined to meet the future of rapid POC-based sensors.

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.
