Abstract
Dihydro-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) detection is crucial since it is a vital coenzyme in organism metabolism. Compared to the traditional method based on natural NADH oxidase (NOX), nanozymes with multienzyme-like activity can catalyze multistage reactions in a singular setup, simplifying detection processes and enhancing sensitivity. In this study, an innovative NADH detection method was developed using iron-doped carbon (Fe@C) nanozyme synthesized from metal-organic frameworks with in situ reduced Pt clusters. This nanozyme composite (Pt/Fe@C) demonstrated dual NOX and peroxidase-like characteristics, significantly enhancing the catalytic efficiency and enabling NADH conversion to NAD+ and H2O2 with subsequent detection. The collaborative research involving both experimental and theoretical simulations has uncovered the catalytic process and the cooperative effect of Fe and Pt atoms, leading to enhanced oxygen adsorption and activation, as well as a decrease in the energy barrier of the key step in the H2O2 decomposition process. These findings indicate that the catalytic performance of Pt/Fe@C in NOX-like and POD-like reactions can be significantly improved. The colorimetric sensor detects NADH with a limit of detection as low as 0.4 nM, signifying a breakthrough in enzyme-mimicking nanozyme technology for precise NADH measurement.

Abstract
The sensitivity and repeatability are crucial for the practical application of electrochemical sensors. Many studies have focused on sensing materials and electrode structure to enhance sensitivity and repeatability rather than insulating layers. In this paper, polyaniline (PANI) microelectrode arrays were prepared to explore the influence of the insulating layer on sensitivity and repeatability of electrochemical sensors. The effects of different types of insulating layers, the sizes of the electrodes, and the thicknesses of the insulating layers were studied by experiment and simulation. The research findings indicated that the kind of organic insulating layers (Polyimide (PI) and SU-8) did not have a significant effect on the performance of the sensors. However, as the electrode area increased, the PANI film deposited on the electrode exhibited improved uniformity and density, leading to significant improvements in sensitivity and repeatability of the sensors. Additionally, the thickness of the insulating layer also had a significant impact on the performance of the device. The microelectrode with thinner insulating layers exhibited improved performance in sensitivity, repeatability and signal-to-noise ratio. The research findings indicated that increasing the electrode size and reducing the thickness of the insulating layer led to a more uniform and dense PANI film, resulting in an array electrode that exhibits excellent performance and remarkable repeatability.

Abstract
Mechanotransduction is the essential process that cells convert mechanical force into biochemical responses, and electrochemical sensor stands out from existing techniques by providing quantitative and real-time information about the biochemical signals during cellular mechanotransduction. However, the intracellular biochemical response evoked by mechanical force has been poorly monitored. In this paper, we report a method to apply local stretch on single cell and simultaneously monitor the ensuing intracellular biochemical signals. Specifically, a ferromagnetic micropipette was fabricated to locally stretch a single cell labeled with Fe3O4 nanoparticles under the external magnetic field, and the SiC@Pt nanowire electrode (SiC@Pt NWE) was inserted into the cell to monitor the intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production induced by the local stretch. As a proof of concept, this work quantitatively investigated the elevated amount of H2O2 levels in single endothelial cell under different stretching amplitudes. This work puts forward a new research modality to manipulate and monitor the mechanotransduction at the single-cell level.

Abstract
Electrochemistry that empowers innovative nanoscopic analysis has long been pursued. Here, the concept of aggregation-enabled electrochemistry (AEE) in a confined nanopore is proposed and devised by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive aggregation of CdS quantum dots (QDs) within a functional nanopipette. Complementary Faradaic and non-Faradaic operations of the CdS QDs aggregate could be conducted to simultaneously induce the signal-on of the photocurrents and the signal-off of the ionic signals. Such a rationale permits the cross-checking of the mutually corroborated signals and thus delivers more reliable results for single-cell ROS analysis. Combined with the rich biomatter-light interplay, the concept of AEE can be extended to other stimuli-responsive aggregations for electrochemical innovations.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (•OH) detection is pivotal in medicine, biochemistry and environmental chemistry. Yet, electrochemical method-specific detection is challenging because of hydroxyl radicals' high reactivity and short half-life. In this study, we aimed to modify the electrode surface with a specific recognition probe for •OH. To achieve this, we conducted a one-step hydrothermal process to fabricate a CoZnMOF bimetallic organic framework directly onto conductive graphite paper (Gp). Subsequently, we introduced salicylic acid (SA) and methylene blue (MB), which easily penetrated the pores of CoZnMOF. By selectively capturing •OH by SA and leveraging the electrochemical signal generated by the reaction product, we successfully developed an electrochemical sensor Gp/CoZnMOF/SA + MB. The prepared sensor exhibited a good linear relationship with •OH concentrations ranging from 1.25 to 1200 nM, with a detection limit of 0.2 nM. Additionally, the sensor demonstrated excellent reproducibility and accuracy due to the incorporation of an internal reference. It exhibited remarkable selectivity for •OH detection, unaffected by other electrochemically active substances. The establishment of this sensor provides a way to construct MOF-modified sensors for the selective detection of other reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering a valuable experimental basis for ROS-related disease research and environmental safety investigations.

Abstract
The glutathione (GSH) system is one of the most powerful intracellular antioxidant systems for the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. However, the rapid kinetics information (at the millisecond to the second level) during the dynamic antioxidation process of the GSH system remains unclear. As such, we specifically developed a novel dual-wire nanosensor (DWNS) that can selectively and synchronously measure the levels of GSH and ROS with high temporal resolution, and applied it to monitor the transient ROS generation as well as the rapid antioxidation process of the GSH system in individual cancer cells. These measurements revealed that the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the GSH system is rapidly initiated against ROS burst in a sub-second time scale, but the elimination process is short-lived, ending after a few seconds, while some ROS are still present in the cells. This study is expected to open new perspectives for understanding the GSH antioxidant system and studying some redox imbalance-related physiological.

Abstract
Cellular heterogeneity, especially in some important diseased cells like tumor cells, acts as an invisible driver for disease development like cancer progression in the tumor ecosystem, contributing to differences in the macroscopic and microscopic detection of disease lesions like tumors. Traditional analysis techniques choose group information masked by the mean as the analysis sample, making it difficult to achieve precise diagnosis and target treatment, on which could be shed light via the single-cell level determination/bioanalysis. Hence, in this article we have reviewed the special characteristic differences among various kinds of typical single-cell bioanalysis strategies and electrochemical techniques, and then focused on the recent advance and special bio-applications of electrochemiluminescence and micro-nano electrochemical sensing mediated in single-cell bioimaging & bioanalysis. Especially, we have summarized the relevant research exploration of the possibility to establish the in-situ single-cell electrochemical methods to detect cell heterogeneity through determination of specific biomolecules and bioimaging of some important biological processes. Eventually, this review has explored some important advances of electrochemical single-cell detection techniques for the real-time cellular bioimaging and diagnostics of some disease lesions like tumors. It raises the possibility to provide the specific in-situ platform to exploit the versatile, sensitive, and high-resolution electrochemical single-cell analysis for the promising biomedical applications like rapid tracing of some disease lesions or in vivo bioimaging for precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Conductive nanopipettes have been recognized as powerful multifunctional platforms for electrochemical sensing applications in confined spaces. However, the electron-transfer processes of many biological analytes (i.e., enzymes or proteins) are slow and coupled with chemical reactions, which have not been well elucidated in conductive nanopipettes. In this Letter, both experimental and simulation methods are used to study electron-transfer processes coupled to chemical reactions (EC mechanism) in carbon nanopipettes (CNPs). It is demonstrated that the electroactive species can serve as redox mediator to help oxidize and reduce the nonelectroactive analytes of interest in the solution and produce noticeable catalytic current signals. Besides, glutathione was directly measured by using ferrocenemethanol as the redox mediator in the CNPs. The elucidated EC processes in CNPs would offer a new opportunity to measure nonelectroactive analytes in biological fields.

Abstract
We report quantitative determination of extracellular H2O2 released from single COS-7 cells with high spatial resolution, using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). Our strategy of depth scan imaging in vertical x-z plane was conveniently utilized to a single cell for obtaining probe approach curves (PACs) to any positions on the membrane of a live cell by simply drawing a vertical line on one depth SECM image. This SECM mode provides an efficient way to record a batch of PACs, and visualize cell topography simultaneously. The H2O2 concentration at the membrane surface in the center of an intact COS-7 cell was deconvoluted from apparent O2, and determined to be 0.020 mM by overlapping the experimental PAC with the simulated one having a known H2O2 release value. The H2O2 profile determined in this way gives insight into physiological activity of single live cells. In addition, intracellular H2O2 profile was demonstrated using confocal microscopy by labelling the cells with a luminomphore, 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. The two methodologies have illustrated complementary experimental results of H2O2 detection, indicating that H2O2 generation is centered at endoplasmic reticula.
