Abstract
Broad-spectrum antiviral platforms are always desired but still lack the ability to cope with the threats to global public health. Herein, we develop a poly aptamer encoded DNA nanocatcher platform that can trap entire virus particles to inhibit infection with a broad antiviral spectrum. Ultralong single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) containing repeated aptamers was synthesized as the scaffold of a nanocatcher via a biocatalytic process, wherein mineralization of magnesium pyrophosphate on the ssDNA could occur and consequently lead to the formation of nanocatcher with interfacial nanocaves decorated with virus-binding aptamers. Once the viruses were recognized by the apatmers, they would be captured and trapped in the nanocaves via multisite synergistic interactions. Meanwhile, the size of nanocatchers was optimized to prevent their cellular uptake, which further guaranteed inhibition of virus infection. By taking SARS-CoV-2 variants as a model target, we demonstrated the broad virus-trapping capability of a DNA nanocatcher in engulfing the variants and blocking the infection to host cells.

Hinge-like paper-based dual-channel enzyme-free ratiometric fluorescent microfluidic platform for simultaneous visual detection of carbaryl and glyphosate. Food Chem 2024; 431:137127. [PMID: 37573744 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
On-site multi-pesticide residues detection is particularly urgent and challenging. Here, we fabricated an enzyme-free ratiometric fluorescent detection system in combination with a hinge-like dual-channel 3D microfluidic paper analytical device (3D μPAD) for simultaneous visual detection of carbaryl and glyphosate. Blue-emission 1-naphthol (Em. 470 nm) was hydrolyzed from carbaryl, while yellow-emission 2,3-diaminophenazine (Em. 570 nm) was produced with the aid of Cu2+ for glyphosate sensing. Inner-filter effect between 1-naphthol or 2,3-diaminophenazine and green-emission carbon dots (Em. 510 nm) realized two ratiometric fluorescent detection systems. Remarkable color variation of green-blue for carbaryl (50.00-1100 μΜ) and yellow-green for glyphosate (5.00-600 μΜ) were observed on a dual-channel 3D μPAD without crosstalk. Their detection limits were 1.11 and 0.63 μΜ, respectively. The strategy realized simultaneous visual detection of carbaryl and glyphosate in food/herbal with excellent accuracy (spiked recoveries, 91.00-107.2%), high precision (RSD ≤ 8.43%), and superior selectivity.

Abstract
The gene mutations of LRRK2, which encodes leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), are associated with one of the most prevalent monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the potential effectors of the Gly2019Ser (G2019S) mutation remain unknown. In this study, the authors investigate the effects of LRRK2 G2019S on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-induced dopamine neurons and explore potential therapeutic targets in mice model. These findings demonstrate that LRRK2 G2019S significantly promotes ER stress in neurons and mice. Interestingly, inhibiting LRRK2 activity can ameliorate ER stress induced by the mutation. Moreover, LRRK2 mutation can induce ER stress by directly interacting with thrombospondin-1/transforming growth factor beta1 (THBS1/TGF-β1). Inhibition of LRRK2 kinase activity can effectively suppress ER stress and the expression of THBS1/TGF-β1. Knocking down THBS1 can rescue ER stress by interacting with TGF-β1 and behavior burden caused by the LRRK2 mutation, while suppression of TGF-β1 has a similar effect. Overall, it is demonstrated that the LRRK2 mutation promotes ER stress by directly interacting with THBS1/TGF-β1, leading to neural death in PD. These findings provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of PD, highlighting potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Pesticides are applied widely to increase agricultural output and quality, however, this practice results in residual issues that not only harm the environment but also put people and animals' lives and health at risk. As a result, it is critical to find pesticide residues in a variety of sources, including crops, water supplies, and soil. Aptamers are more flexible in their synthesis and modification, have a high level of specificity, are inexpensive, and have good stability compared to conventional detection methods. They have therefore attracted a lot of interest in the industry. This study reviews the most recent aptasensor advancements in the detection of pesticide residues. Firstly, aptamers specifically binding to many pesticides are summarized. Secondly, the combination of aptasensors with colorimetric, fluorescent, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), resonance Light Scattering (RLS), chemiluminescence (CL), electrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technologies are systematically introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages are expounded. Importantly, the aptasensors for the detection of various pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphorus, neonicotinoids, carbamates, and pyrethroids) that have been developed so far are systematically analyzed and discussed. Finally, the furture prospects and challenges of the aptasensors are highlighted. It is expected to offer suggestions for the later creation of novel, highly effective and sensitive aptasensors for the detection of pesticide residues.

Abstract
A highly sensitive unlabeled electrochemical aptasensor based on hydroxylated black phosphorus/poly-L-lysine (hBP/PLL) composite is introduced herein for the detection of malathion. Poly-L-lysine (PLL) with adhesion and coating properties adhere to the surface of the nanosheets by noncovalent interactions with underlying hydroxylated black phosphorus nanosheets (hBP) to produce the hBP/PLL composite. The as-synthesized hBP/PLL composite bonded to Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) firmly by assembling and using them as a substrate for the aptamer with high specificity as a probe to fabricate the sensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of the electrochemical aptasensor was 0.1 pM~1 μM, and the detection limit was 2.805 fM. The electrochemical aptasensor has great selectivity, a low detection limit, and anti-interference, which has potential application prospects in the field of rapid trace detection of pesticide residues.

Abstract
Pathogenic pathogens invade the human body through various pathways, causing damage to host cells, tissues, and their functions, ultimately leading to the development of diseases and posing a threat to human health. The rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic pathogens in humans is crucial and pressing. Nucleic acid detection offers advantages such as higher sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity compared to antibody and antigen detection methods. However, conventional nucleic acid testing is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires sophisticated equipment and specialized medical personnel. Therefore, this review focuses on advanced nucleic acid testing systems that aim to address the issues of testing time, portability, degree of automation, and cross-contamination. These systems include extraction-free rapid nucleic acid testing, fully automated extraction, amplification, and detection, as well as fully enclosed testing and commercial nucleic acid testing equipment. Additionally, the biochemical methods used for extraction, amplification, and detection in nucleic acid testing are briefly described. We hope that this review will inspire further research and the development of more suitable extraction-free reagents and fully automated testing devices for rapid, point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
An aptamer-based electrochemical sensor for methyl parathion (MP) detection is herein reported. The modified magnetic beads-systematic evolution of ligands by enrichment (MB-SELEX) was used to select the MP aptamer. After 14 rounds of selection, the aptamer (MPapta-6) with high affinity for MP was obtained, and its dissociation constant (Kd) was 39.66 ± 14.73 μM. Using the MPapta-6, the ultra-sensitive electrochemical sensor based on PLL-BP and AuNPs was constructed. The linear range of MP was 1-105 pM and detection limit (LOD) was as low as 0.49 pM. In addition, the application of the sensor in water samples was verified, and the recovery rate was 96.6%-103.5%. The results from this study showed that this strategy could be applied in practical detection.

Abstract
A self-powered biosensor (SPB) was constructed for the ultra-sensitive detection of microRNA-155 (miR-155) by combining a capacitor/enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC), a strategy of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and a digital multimeter (DMM). The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the assembled EBFC-SPB can reach 15.85 μA/pM with the action of matching capacitor, which is 513% of that without capacitor (3.09 μA/pM). This achieves the first signal amplification. Furthermore, when the target miR-155 triggers RCA, electrons are continuous generated and flow to the biocathode through the external circuit to catalyze the reduction of oxygen and release [Ru(NH3)6]3+ electron acceptor. This achieves the second signal amplification. Finally, DMM is used to convert the signal into instantaneous current and amplify it for real-time reading. This achieves the third signal amplification. Therefore, the limit of detection (LOD) of the developed biosensor is as low as 0.17 fM (S/N = 3), and the linear range is between 0.5 fM and 10,000 fM, indicating that the EBFC-SPB has a broad application prospect for cancer marker of miR-155 with ultrasensitive detection.

Abstract
The accuracy and precision of analyte concentrations measured in whole blood by chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) have been significantly affected by erythrocytes, which leads to poor application of whole blood CLIA in clinical practice. In this work, a chemiluminescence biosensing optical platform for blood hematocrit (HCT) analysis using MAGICL 6000 (Getein Biotechnology, Nanjing, China) was designed, implemented, and fully characterized. The developed method was successfully applied to determine various HCT levels of human blood from 0% to 65%, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9885 compared with the conventional method (Sysmex XE 5000, Kobe, Japan). A mathematical model was developed to quantitatively evaluate the impact of HCT on the results of two sample types (whole blood vs. plasma). Combining the established HCT method and mathematical model with CLIA on MAGICL 6000, the precision was significantly improved by almost 20%. Comparison studies using whole blood samples and corresponding plasma samples showed that the square of the correlation coefficients of troponin I (cTnI), myoglobin (MYO), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), and N-terminal pro-hormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were increased to 0.9992, 0.9997, 0.9996, and 0.9994, respectively, showing a great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Realization of a highly sensitive analysis and sensing platform is important for early-stage tumor diagnosis. In this work, a self-powered biosensor with a novel sandwich graphdiyne (SGDY) combined with an aptamer-specific recognition function was developed to sensitively and accurately detect tumor markers. Results indicated that the detection limits of microRNA (miRNA)-21 and miRNA-141 were 0.15 and 0.30 fM (S/N = 3) in the linear range of 0.05-10000 and 1-10000 fM, respectively. The newly designed platform has great promise for early-stage tumor diagnosis.

[PMID: 36290913 PMCID: PMC9599224 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
A label-free fipronil aptasensor was built based on Polylysine-black phosphorus nanosheets composition (PLL-BPNSs) and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). A PLL-BP modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated by combining BP NSs and PLL, which included a considerable quantity of -NH2. Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were placed onto the GCE, and PLL-BPNSs bonded to Au NPs firmly by assembling. The thiolated primers were then added and fixed using an S-Au bond, and competitive binding of the fipronil aptamer was utilized for fipronil quantitative assessment. The sensor’s performance was evaluated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. The linear equation is ΔI (μA) = 13.04 logC + 22.35, while linear correlation coefficient R2 is 0.998, and detection limit is 74 pg/mL (0.17 nM) when the concentration of fipronil is 0.1 ng/mL–10 μg/mL. This aptasensor can apply to quantitative detection of fipronil.

Abstract
The development of biosensing platforms has been impressively accelerated by advancements in liquid crystal (LC) technology. High response rate, easy operation, and good stability of the LC droplet-based biosensors are all benefits of the long-range order of LC molecules. Bioprobes emerged when LC droplets were combined with biotechnology, and these bioprobes are used extensively for disease diagnosis, food safety, and environmental monitoring. The LC droplet biosensors have high sensitivity and excellent selectivity, making them an attractive tool for the label-free, economical, and real-time detection of different targets. Portable devices work well as the accessory kits for LC droplet-based biosensors to make them easier to use by anyone for on-site monitoring of targets. Herein, we offer a review of the latest developments in the design of LC droplet-based biosensors for qualitative target monitoring and quantitative target analysis.

Abstract
The traditional infectious disease detection process is cumbersome, and there is only a single application scenario. In recent years, with the development of the medical industry and the impact of the epidemic situation, the number of infectious disease detection instruments based on nursing point detection has been increasing. Due to this trend, many detection instruments and massive detection data urgently need to be managed. In addition, the experiment failed due to the abnormal fluorescence curve generated by a human operator or sample impurities. Finally, the geographic information system has also played an active role in spreading and preventing infectious diseases; this paper designs a “detection-service-mobile” three-terminal system to realize the control of diagnostic instruments and the comprehensive management of data. Machine learning is used to classify the enlarged curve and calculate the cycle threshold of the positive curve; combined with a geographic information system, the detection results are marked on the mobile terminal map to realize the visual display of the positive results of nucleic acid amplification detection and the early warning of infectious diseases. In the research, applying this system to portable field pathogen detection is feasible and practical.

Abstract
The rapid development of aptamers has helped address the challenges presented by the wide existed pesticides contaminations. Screening of aptamers with excellent performance is a prerequisite for successfully constructing biosensors, while further tailoring of aptamers with enhanced activity greatly improved the assay performance. Firstly, this paper reviewed the advanced screening strategies for pesticides aptamers, including immobilization screening that preserves the native structures of targets, non-immobilized screening based on nanomaterials, capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX), virtual screening in silico, high-throughput selection, and rational secondary library generation methods, which contributed significantly to improve the success rate of screening, reduce the screening time, and ensure aptamer binding affinity. Secondly, the precise tailoring strategies for pesticides aptamers were modularly elaborated, containing deletion, splitting, elongation, and fusion, which provided various advantages like cost-efficiency, enhanced binding affinity, and new derived functional motifs. Thirdly, the developed aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) for pesticide detection were systematically reviewed according to the different signal output modes. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of pesticide detection are discussed comprehensively.

Abstract
In this work, an Eu3+-MOF-253@Au electrochemiluminescence sensor was successfully constructed for the first time by encapsulating nanogold in the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) backbone and pore channels, and assembling Eu3+ on the MOF backbone. Firstly, the introduction of nanogold overcomes the weakness of MOFs, which was difficult to achieve, and enhances its catalytic performance, followed by the modification of Eu3+ to confer the electrochemiluminescence performance and the function of target detection on the sensor. Moreover, carbaryl was placed in an alkaline working solution to enhance the intensity of electrochemiluminescence signal, as well as to promote the hydrolysis of carbaryl into 1-naphthol, which caused the burst of Eu3+-MOF-253@Au electrochemiluminescence sensor, thereby achieving the sensitive detection of carbaryl. On this basis, the electrochemiluminescence detection conditions were optimized, the performance was analyzed, and finally it was successfully used for the detection of carbaryl with good linearity in the range of 0.2–200 μg L−1 and a low detection limit (0.14 μg L−1).

Abstract
This study explored miR-20a’s role in intestinal cancer cells. SW480 cell line was divided into control group, agonist group, inhibitor group, and negative control group, followed by analysis of cell proliferation, apoptosis, Met, Bad, and Bcl-2 protein expressions. Results showed
that miR-20a expression in the agonist group was the highest, followed by blank group and negative control group, and inhibitor group was lowest. S-phase and G2/M cell number from inhibitor group was lowest, and cell apoptosis rate was highest. However, the agonist group showed contrary changes.
There was no difference in G0/G1 phase cell number among the four groups (P > 0.05). Moreover, the expressions of Bad, Bcl-2, Met, Wnt, β-catenin, and p-Wnt in inhibitor group were all lower, while the expressions in agonist group were all high (P < 0.05). S-phase
and G2/M cell number in inhibitor group was lowest, while cell apoptosis was highest. The agonist group was opposite, with G0/G1 phase cells in each group showing no difference (P > 0.05). Wnt, β-catenin, and p-Wnt expressions were lowest in the inhibitor group, while
the agonist group was opposite. These results together showed that the miR-20a directly targeted and regulated Met protein. Finally, the miR-20a inhibited intestinal cancer cell proliferation mainly through inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity.

Abstract
RNA plays a vital role in cell functions, but tools to manipulate it is limited. RNA interference (RNAi) is an important approach for biological and clinical applications, but the prone of non-target knockdown effects limited the usage. CRISPR-Cas13 systems recently have been identified
for RNA-guided RNA-interfering activity, and can be used in therapeutics, but the large size of Cas13 proteins and the off-targets effect also limit their further usage. Here we report that the chimeric protein containing a double strand nuclease/domain and a structure RNA binding domain (dsRNase-stRBD)
with structure guided RNA (sgRNA) can be engineered for mammalian RNA silencing effectively. The RNA knockdown mediated by this method was durable, efficient and stringent without off-target interfering by the sense strand of shRNA base method. Moreover, at size of only 307 aa, allowing dsRNase-stRBD
fitting for the versatile scAAV, while the most recent report displays that the smallest Cas13 protein is 775 aa. These results establish sgRNA-dsRBD-RNase as an excellent method for studying RNA function of cells and further clinical application.

Abstract
Aptamers are short oligonucleotides that bind to specific target molecules. They have been extensively explored in biomedical applications, including biosensing, medical imaging, and disease treatment. Their adjustable affinity for specific biomarkers stimulates more translational efforts, such as nuclear imaging of tumors in preclinical and clinical settings. In this review, we present recent advances of aptamer-based nuclear imaging and compare aptamer tracers with other biogenic probes in forms of peptides, nanobodies, monoclonal antibodies, and antibody fragments. Fundamental properties of aptamer-based radiotracers are highlighted and potential directions to improve aptamer's imaging performance are discussed. Despite many translational obstacles to overcome, we envision aptamers to be a versatile tool for cancer nuclear imaging in the near future.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are difficult to treat and harmful. Many CNS diseases are secondary to peripheral diseases, such as tumor brain metastases (BMS), viral infections and inflammation of the brain, and their pathogenic factors travel through the circulatory system to the brain, eventually leading to lesions. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in this process. Recent studies have shown that, extracellular EVs can effectively cross the blood- brain barrier (BBB) through endocytosis and they transmit molecular signals in cell-to-cell communication. Abnormal EVs produced in the lesion portion transport pathogenic factors, including miRNAs, proteins, and virions into the CNS. These pathogenic factors participate in cellular pathways to interfere with homeostasis or are themselves pathogens that directly damage CNS. In addition, different or specific pathological molecules in EVs are potential disease markers. We herein reviewed pathways through which the abnormal EVs cross BBB and adverse effects of abnormal exosomes. We also and summarized their existing detection techniques, so as to provide basis for prevention and early diagnosis of secondary diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) mainly results from development of coronary microcirculatory dysfunction (CMD). Polysaccharide sulfate (PSS), as one heparin drug, has a variety of biological activities. This study examined the efficacy of a new type of PSS-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (PSS-NPs) on DCM, in finding a theoretical basis for CMD treatment. After establishment of DCM model, the animals were administrated with PSS, PSS-NPs, normal saline or poly(ethylene glycol)1 (PEG1) through intraperitoneal injection. 8 weeks after injection of streptozotocin (STZ), heart function of rats was assessed by echocardiography. The rat tissues were collected and detected by histological analysis. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analyses determined the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and pro-inflammatory factors. PSS-NPs had a good protective effect on cardiac insufficiency in rats. Administration of PSS-NPs prolonged survival state, and enhanced cardiac function, thereby alleviating the symptoms, and inducing formation of micro vessels. Importantly, it improved the symptoms of DCM patients and their quality of life. Moreover, pro-inflammatory factor levels decreased upon the treatment, accompanied with inactivation of NF-κB signaling pathways, thereby improving DCM. This study demonstrated that the PSS-NPs significantly relieved DCM and restored cardiac function in rats through NF-κB signaling pathways, providing a theoretical basis for development of PSS-NPs, and new treatment ideas for CMD of DCM.

Signal enhancing strategies in aptasensors for the detection of small molecular contaminants by nanomaterials and nucleic acid amplification. Talanta 2022; 236:122866. [PMID: 34635248 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Small molecular contaminants (such as mycotoxins, antibiotics, pesticide residues, etc.) in food and environment have given rise to many biological and ecological toxicities, which has attracted worldwide attention in recent years. Meanwhile, due to the advantages of aptamers such as high specificity and stability, easy synthesis and modification, as well as low cost and immunogenicity, various aptasensors for the detection of small molecular contaminants have been flourishing. An aptasensor as a whole is composed of an aptamer-based target recognizer and a signal transducer, which are fields of concentrated research. In the practical detection applications, in order to achieve the quantitative detection of small molecular contaminants at low abundance in real samples, a large number of signal enhancing strategies have been utilized in the development of aptasensors. Recent years is a vintage period for efficient signal enhancing strategies of aptasensors by the aid of nanomaterials and nucleic acid amplification that are applied in the elements for target recognition and signal conversion. Therefore, this paper meticulously reviews the signal enhancing strategies based on nanomaterials (including the (quasi-)zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional nanomaterials) and nucleic acid amplification (including enzyme-assisted nucleic acid amplification and enzyme-free nucleic acid amplification). Furthermore, the challenges and future trends of the abovementioned signal enhancing strategies for application are also discussed in order to inspire the practitioners in the research and development of aptasensors for small molecular contaminants.

Abstract
Mycoplasma hyorhinis is a normal flora in swine respiratory tract and also often found in multiple human tumor tissues, which is considered to be highly correlated with human tumors. Due to the detection of Mycoplasma hyorhinis mainly relies on PCR-based assay at present, thus it is critical for developing a novel assay for rapid detection and providing support diagnosis evidence. In our work, we screened and characterized a high affinity aptamer zyb1 that can recognize Mycoplasma hyorhinis based on infectious cell-SELEX. On this basis, we developed a lateral flow strip assay by using zyb1 and another aptamer AP15-1 to form a sandwich-type aptasensor. Using this new lateral flow strip assay biosensor, Mycoplasma hyorhinis could be detected within the detectable limit as low as 1 × 10³ CCU/mL. Therefore, our study successfully developed a convenient and effective lateral flow strip for Mycoplasma hyorhinis detection and demonstrated the potential of utilizing aptamer for the development of point-of-care testing products for mycoplasma detection.

Abstract
Recently, noble metal nanomaterials have been extensively studied in the fields of biosensing, environmental catalysis, and cancer diagnosis and treatment, due to their excellent electrical conductivity, high surface area, and individual physical and optical properties. Early research on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect was focused on the cognition of the SERS phenomenon and enhancing its sensitivity for single-molecule detection. With the development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, the advances and applications based on SERS substrates have been accelerated. Among them, noble metal nanomaterials are mainly used as SERS-active substrates to enhance SERS signals owing to their compelling surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties. This review provides recent advances, perspectives, and challenges in SERS assays based on engineered noble metal nanomaterials for early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Excessive use of pesticides can cause contamination of the environment and agricultural products that are directly threatening human life and health. Therefore, in the process of food safety supervision, it is crucial to conduct sensitive and rapid detection of pesticide residues. The recognition element is the vital component of sensors and methods for fast testing pesticide residues in food. Improper recognition elements may lead to defects of testing methods, such as poor stability, low sensitivity, high economic costs, and waste of time. We can use the molecular biological technique to address these challenges as a good strategy for recognition element production and modification. Herein, we review the molecular biological methods of five specific recognition elements, including aptamers, genetic engineering antibodies, DNAzymes, genetically engineered enzymes, and whole-cell-based biosensors. In addition, the application of these identification elements combined with biosensor and immunoassay methods in actual detection was also discussed. The purpose of this review was to provide a valuable reference for further development of rapid detection methods for pesticide residues.

Abstract
This study assessed the effect nano-silica gel material on bioactivity of osteoblasts and expression of IGF-2. Methods: Silica gel nanoparticles (Nanjing Kike Company) were divided according to their concentrations as follows; 0 μg/mL a control group with cells without nanoparticle treatment, 25 μg/mL as group 1, 50 μg/mL as group 2, and 100 μg/mL as group 3. The transmission electron microscope was used to measure morphology, while particle size analyzer was used to measure particle size, and potential analyzer measured Zeta potential, and MTT measured proliferation.Moreover, ALP kit was used to measure ALP activity, and Alizarin red staining measured formation of wild flower nodules, while RT-PCR was used to measure expression of IGF-2. Results: The shape of silica gel nanoparticles was spherical, with uniform particle size distribution, and particle size was between 50-800 nm. The average particle size was 383 nm, and Zeta potential was -12.3. The growth rate of control group and group 1 was relatively close (t = 0.95, P = 0.37), and growth rate of groups 2 and 3 was higher than control (group t2 = 5.63, P < 0.05, group t3 = 10.38, P < 0.05). The value-added rate for group 3 was higher than group 2 (t = 4.41, P < 0.05). Group 1 had higher activity than control group (t = 10.29, P < 0.05) and lower activity than group 3 (t = 9.85, P < 0.05) which had higher activity than group 2 (t = 4.16, P < 0.05). Groups 1, 2, and 3 induced the growth of osteoblasts, promoted calcium salt deposition, and produced red mineralized nodules where the cells converged. The formation of mineralized nodules obviously depended on concentration of silica nanoparticles. Group 1 had higher IGF-2 expression than control (t = 19.99, P < 0.05) and lower level than group 2 (t = 16.69, P < 0.05). Silica gel nanoparticles promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation. The mechanism of action may be that, silica gel nanoparticles accelerate the growth of ALP activity and osteoblast extracellular matrix mineralization by promoting the level of IGF-2. The production of chemical nodules accelerates the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

Abstract
Cadmium ions as toxic metallic pollutants have been dramatically risen due to industrial production, which causes serious environmental damages and potential health risks. Thus, developing sensitive and specific probes to recognize cadmium ions is vital for human and environmental safety. In this work, the aptamer as a capture probe was selected for the identification of cadmium ions. The modified SELEX method based on immobilizing ssDNA libraries on streptavidin magnetic beads was used to the high-affinity aptamer selection for binding cadmium ions. After 9 rounds of selection, 4 ssDNA sequences with the highest enrichment were obtained, and the Cd-1 aptamer exhibited the highest affinity to cadmium ions. The dissociation constant Kd value of the Cd-1 aptamer was 81.39 μM for cadmium ions. Later, we also investigated the binding specificity of Cd-1 aptamer toward other heavy metal ions. Given the availability of immobilizing ssDNA library on matrix, we believe the strategy also applies to discover other ions in a reproducible manner.

Abstract
Cancer is still a major disease that threatens human life. Although traditional cancer treatment methods are widely used, they still have many disadvantages. Aptamers, owing to their small size, low toxicity, good specificity, and excellent biocompatibility, have been widely applied in biomedical areas. Therefore, the combination of nanomaterials with aptamers offers a new method for cancer treatment. First, we briefly introduce the situation of cancer treatment and aptamers. Then, we discuss the application of aptamers in breast cancer treatment, lung cancer treatment, and other cancer treatment methods. Finally, perspectives on challenges and future applications of aptamers in cancer therapy are discussed.
