Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas12a system is a powerful signal amplification tool that has been widely used in nucleic acid detection. It has also been applied to the assay of non-nucleic acid targets, mainly relying on strategies for converting target determination into nucleic acid detection. Herein, we describe a CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorescence method for sensitive detection of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) by utilizing a strategy of converting TAC determination into Mn2+ detection. Specifically, the reduction of MnO2 nanosheets by antioxidants produces plenty of Mn2+, which accelerates the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a. Thus, a fluorescence enhanced detection method for TAC was established, with a detection limit as low as 0.04 mg L-1 for a typical antioxidant, ascorbic acid. More importantly, this method has been proven to successfully analyze TAC in beverages. The excellent analytical performance of this method demonstrates the great potential of the CRISPR/Cas12a system in simple and sensitive TAC analysis.

Abstract
In this work, europium ion-doped gadolinium trioxide nanocrystals (Gd2O3:Eu3+ NCs) were successfully synthesized and applied to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. Compared with pure Gd2O3, the doping of Eu3+ ions caused enhanced ECL intensity and more stable signals. Based on the excellent ECL performance of Gd2O3:Eu3+ NCs, we constructed a new ECL sensing platform for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). The ECL sensor showed a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 1 nM to 1 pM, with a limit of detection of 0.12 pM (S/N = 3) for dichlorvos (DDVP). In addition, the constructed ECL sensor was applied for the detection of DDVP in vegetable samples, and good recoveries were obtained. The results indicated that the ECL sensor exhibited fantastic performance properties and had good application prospects in OPs detection.

Abstract
Nucleic acid analysis plays an important role in disease diagnosis and treatment. The discovery of CRISPR technology has provided novel and versatile approaches to the detection of nucleic acids. However, the most widely used CRISPR-Cas12a detection platforms lack the capability to distinguish single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). To overcome this limitation, we first employed an anti-CRISPR protein (AcrVA1) to develop a novel CRISPR biosensor to detect ssDNA exclusively. In this sensing strategy, AcrVA1 cut CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) to inhibit the cleavage activity of the CRISPR-Cas12a system. Only ssDNA has the ability to recruit the cleaved crRNA fragment to recover the detection ability of the CRISPR-Cas12 biosensor, but dsDNA cannot accomplish this. By measuring the recovered cleavage activity of the CRISPR-Cas12a biosensor, our developed AcrVA1-assisted CRISPR biosensor is capable of distinguishing ssDNA from dsDNA, providing a simple and reliable method for the detection of ssDNA. Furthermore, we demonstrated our developed AcrVA1-assisted CRISPR biosensor to monitor the enzymatic activity of helicase and screen its inhibitors.

Abstract
Environmental monitoring of pesticide residues in crops is essential for both food safety and environmental protection. Traditional methodologies face challenges due to the interference of endogenous compounds in peel and pulp tissues, often being invasive, labor-intensive, and inadequate for real-time observation of hazardous substance distribution. In this study, dynamic borohydride-reduced nanoparticles were employed as enhanced substrates. For the first time, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imaging was harnessed to enable whole-process visual detection of pesticide residues. The developed method is both stable and sensitive, boasting a detection lower limit below 1 pg/mL, coupled with robust quantitative analytical capabilities. This technique was successfully employed to detect residue signals across various crops and fruit juices. Furthermore, SERS imaging was utilized to map the distribution of pesticide residues from the exterior to the interior of fruits and vegetables. Vertex component analysis further refined the process by mitigating interference from plant autofluorescence. Collectively, this innovative strategy facilitates comprehensive pesticide residue monitoring, offering a potent tool for controlling hazardous substances in crops. Its potential applications extend beyond food safety, holding significant promise for sustainable agricultural production and enhanced environmental safeguarding.

Microfluidic devices have emerged as advantageous tools for detecting environmental contaminants due to their portability, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and rapid response capabilities. These devices have wide-ranging applications in environmental monitoring of air, water, and soil matrices, and have also been applied to agricultural monitoring. Although several previous reviews have explored microfluidic devices' utility, this paper presents an up-to-date account of the latest advancements in this field for environmental monitoring, looking back at the past five years. In this review, we discuss devices for prominent contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients, microorganisms, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), etc. We cover numerous detection methods (electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, etc.) and critically assess the current state of microfluidic devices for environmental monitoring, highlighting both their successes and limitations. Moreover, we propose potential strategies to mitigate these limitations and offer valuable insights into future research and development directions.

Abstract
Nowadays, easy, convenient, and sensitive sensing strategies are still critical for organophosphorus pesticides in environmental water samples. Herein, a novel organophosphorus pesticide (OP) assay based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and a MnO2 nanosheet-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a reaction is reported. The single-strand DNA (ssDNA) activator of CRISPR/Cas12a was simply adsorbed on the MnO2 nanosheets as the nanoswitches of the assay. In the absence of target OPs, AChE hydrolyzed acetylcholine (ATCh) to thiocholine (TCh), which reduced the MnO2 nanosheets to Mn2+, resulting in the release of the activator followed by activation of the CRISPR/Cas12a system. The activated Cas12a thereafter nonspecifically cleaved the FAM/BHQ1-labeled ssDNA (FQ-reporter), producing a fluorescence signal. Upon the addition of target OPs, the hydrolysis of ATCh by AChE was inhibited owing to OPs combining with AChE, and thus effective quantification of OPs could be achieved by measuring the fluorescence changes of the system. As a proof of concept, dichlorvos (DDVP) was chosen as a model OP analyte to address the feasibility of the proposed method. Attributed to the excellent trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a, the fluorescent biosensor exhibits a satisfactory limit of detection (LOD) for DDVP at 0.135 ng mL-1. In addition, the excellent recoveries for the detection of DDVP in environmental water samples demonstrate the applicability of the proposed assay in real sample research.

Abstract
This study presents a technique for detecting 3'-5' exonuclease activity through the use of CRISPR/Cas12a. These enzymes, including 3'-5' exonuclease (Exo III), perform crucial roles in various cellular processes and are associated with life expectancy. However, imbalances in their expression can increase susceptibility to diseases such as cancer, particularly under prolonged stress. In this study, an activator sequence of CRISPR/Cas12a was constructed on the 5'-end of a hairpin probe (HP), forming a blunt end. When the 3'-end of the HP was hydrolyzed with Exo III activity, the activator sequence of Cas12a was exposed, which led to collateral cleavage of the DNA signal probe and generated a fluorescent signal, allowing sensitive and highly specific Exo III detection. This detection principle relied on the fact that Exo III exclusively cleaves the 3'-end mononucleotide of dsDNA and does not affect ssDNA. Based on this strategy, Exo III activity was successfully assayed at 0.0073 U/mL, demonstrating high sensitivity. In addition, this technique was used to screen candidate inhibitors of Exo III activity.

Abstract
Non-nucleic acid targets have posed a serious challenge to food safety. The detection of non-nucleic acid targets can enable us to monitor food contamination in a timely manner. In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas system has been extensively explored in biosensing. However, there is a lack of a summary of CRISPR/Cas-powered detection tailored to non-nucleic acid targets involved in food safety. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent advances on the construction of CRISPR/Cas-powered detection and the promising applications in the field of food safety related non-nucleic acid targets. The current challenges and futuristic perspectives are also proposed accordingly. The rapidly evolving CRISPR/Cas system has provided a powerful propellant for non-nucleic acid target detection via integration with aptamer and/or DNAzyme. Compared with traditional analytical methods, CRISPR/Cas-powered detection is conceptually novel, essentially eliminates the dependence on large instruments, and also demonstrates the capability for rapid, accurate, sensitive, and on-site testing.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are extensively used in agricultural production, and the contamination caused by their residues has raised significant concerns regarding potential threats to human health. Herein, a novel fluorescence nanoprobe based on an enzyme-mediated silver nanoparticle-modified metal organic framework (AgNPs@PCN-224) was successfully prepared for the rapid detection of OPPs. Initially, AgNPs@PCN-224 were synthesized by reducing silver nitrate (AgNO3) using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) embedded into luminescent PCN-224. This triggered the inner filter effect, leading to fluorescence quenching. Meanwhile, under the catalysis of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (CHO), acetylcholine (ATCh) was decomposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which could destroy AgNPs to form Ag+ released from PCN-224 for fluorescence recovery. Instead, fenitrothion, an OPP, inhibited AChE activity, allowing the quenched fluorescence to be reactivated. Under the current optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity had a good correlation (Y = -728.5370X + 2178.4248, R2 = 0.9869) over a dynamic range of fenitrothion concentrations from 0.1 to 500 ng/mL, with an LOD of 0.037 ng/mL. In addition, the anti-interference ability and robustness of the proposed sensor was verified for the monitoring of fenitrothion in tea with recoveries of 87.67-103.72% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) < 5.43%, indicating that the system has excellent prospects for OPP determination in practical applications. Furthermore, this work provides a universal platform for screening other enzyme inhibitors to detect OPPs.

Abstract
Food safety is a significant issue that affects people worldwide and is tied to their lives and health. The issue of pesticide residues in food is just one of many issues related to food safety, which leave residues in crops and are transferred through the food chain to human consumption. Foods contaminated with pesticide residues pose a serious risk to human health, including carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, and endocrine disruption. Although traditional methods, including gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, chromatography, and mass spectrometry, can be used to achieve a quantitative analysis of pesticide residues, the disadvantages of these techniques, such as being time-consuming and costly and requiring specialist staff, limit their application. Therefore, there is a need to develop rapid, effective, and sensitive equipment for the quantitative analysis of pesticide residues in food. Microfluidics is rapidly emerging in a number of fields due to its outstanding strengths. This paper summarizes the application of microfluidic techniques to pyrethroid, carbamate, organochlorine, and organophosphate pesticides, as well as to commercial products. Meanwhile, the study also outlines the development of microfluidics in combination with 3D printing technology and nanomaterials for detecting pesticide residues in food.

Abstract
Monocrotophos (MP), an organophosphorus pesticide, poses a serious threat to human health, so a rapid and simple technique is needed to detect it. In this study, two novel optical sensors for MP detection were created using the Fe(III) Salophen complex and Eu(III) Salophen complex, respectively. One sensor is an Fe(III) Salophen complex (I-N-Sal), which can bind MP selectively and form a supramolecule, resulting in a strong resonance light scattering (RLS) signal at 300 nm. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limit was 30 nM, the linear range was 0.1-1.1 μM, the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9919, and the recovery rate range was 97.0-103.1%. Interaction properties between the sensor I-N-Sal and MP and the RLS mechanism were investigated using density functional theory (DFT). And another sensor is based on the Eu(III) Salophen complex and 5-aminofluorescein derivatives. The Eu(III) Salophen complex was immobilized on the surface of amino-silica gel (Sigel-NH2) particles as the solid phase receptor (ESS) of MP and 5-aminofluorescein derivatives as the fluorescent (FL)-labeled receptor (N-5-AF) of MP, which can selectively bind the MP and form a sandwich-type supramolecule. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limit was 0.4 μM, the linear range was 1.3-7.0 μM, the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9983, and the recovery rate range was 96.6-101.1%. Interaction properties between the sensor and MP were investigated by UV-vis, FT-IR, and XRD. Both sensors were successfully applied to the determination of MP content in tap water and camellia.

Abstract
Pesticide pollution in recent times has emerged as a grave environmental problem contaminating both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems owing to their widespread use. Bioremediation using gene editing and system biology could be developed as an eco-friendly and proficient tool to remediate pesticide-contaminated sites due to its advantages and greater public acceptance over the physical and chemical methods. However, it is indispensable to understand the different aspects associated with microbial metabolism and their physiology for efficient pesticide remediation. Therefore, this review paper analyses the different gene editing tools and multi-omics methods in microbes to produce relevant evidence regarding genes, proteins and metabolites associated with pesticide remediation and the approaches to contend against pesticide-induced stress. We systematically discussed and analyzed the recent reports (2015-2022) on multi-omics methods for pesticide degradation to elucidate the mechanisms and the recent advances associated with the behaviour of microbes under diverse environmental conditions. This study envisages that CRISPR-Cas, ZFN and TALEN as gene editing tools utilizing Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Achromobacter sp. can be employed for remediation of chlorpyrifos, parathion-methyl, carbaryl, triphenyltin and triazophos by creating gRNA for expressing specific genes for the bioremediation. Similarly, systems biology accompanying multi-omics tactics revealed that microbial strains from Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas putida, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Rhodococcus sp. and Pencillium oxalicum are capable of degrading deltamethrin, p-nitrophenol, chlorimuron-ethyl and nicosulfuron. This review lends notable insights into the research gaps and provides potential solutions for pesticide remediation by using different microbe-assisted technologies. The inferences drawn from the current study will help researchers, ecologists, and decision-makers gain comprehensive knowledge of value and application of systems biology and gene editing in bioremediation assessments.

Abstract
An improved electrochemical sensor has been developed for sensitive detection of the p53 gene based on exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) and CRISPR/Cas12a. Restriction endonuclease BstNI is introduced to specifically identify and cleave the p53 gene, generating primers to trigger the EXPAR cascade amplification. A large number of amplified products are then obtained to enable the lateral cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a. For electrochemical detection, the amplified product activates Cas12a to digest the designed block probe, which allows the signal probe to be captured by the reduced graphene oxide-modified electrode (GCE/RGO), resulting in an enhanced electrochemical signal. Notably, the signal probe is labeled with large amounts of methylene blue (MB). Compared with traditional endpoint decoration, the special signal probe effectively amplifies the electrochemical signals by a factor of about 15. Experimental results show that the electrochemical sensor exhibits wide ranges from 500 aM to 10 pM and 10 pM to 1 nM, as well as a relatively low limit detection of 0.39 fM, which is about an order of magnitude lower than that of fluorescence detection. Moreover, the proposed sensor shows reliable application capability in real human serum, indicating that this work has great prospects for the construction of a CRISPR-based ultra-sensitive detection platform.

Abstract
Food safety, closely related to economic development of food industry and public health, has become a global concern and gained increasing attention worldwide. Effective detection technology is of great importance to guarantee food safety. Although several classical detection methods have been developed, they have some limitations in portability, selectivity, and sensitivity. The emerging CRISPR-Cas systems, uniquely integrating target recognition specificity, signal transduction, and efficient signal amplification abilities, possess superior specificity and sensitivity, showing huge potential to address aforementioned challenges and develop next-generation techniques for food safety detection. In this review, we focus on recent progress of CRISPR-Cas mediated biosensing and their applications in food safety monitoring. The properties and principles of commonly used CRISPR-Cas systems are highlighted. Notably, the frequently coupled nucleic acid amplification strategies to enhance their selectivity and sensitivity, especially isothermal amplification methods, as well as various signal output modes are also systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the application of CRISPR-Cas systems-based biosensors in food safety detection including foodborne virus, foodborne bacteria, food fraud, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), toxins, heavy metal ions, antibiotic residues, and pesticide residues is comprehensively described. Furthermore, the current challenges and future prospects in this field are tentatively discussed.

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas technology originated from the immune mechanism of archaea and bacteria and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for its success in gene editing. Molecular diagnostics is highly valued globally for its development as a new generation of diagnostic technology. An increasing number of studies have shown that CRISPR/Cas technology can be integrated with biosensors and bioassays for molecular diagnostics. CRISPR-based detection has attracted much attention as highly specific and sensitive sensors with easily programmable and device-independent capabilities. The nucleic acid-based detection approach is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic methods. With further research, it holds promise for detecting other biomarkers such as small molecules and proteins. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore the prospects of CRISPR technology in biosensing and summarize its application strategies in molecular diagnostics. This review provides a synopsis of CRISPR biosensing strategies and recent advances from nucleic acids to other non-nucleic small molecules or analytes such as proteins and presents the challenges and perspectives of CRISPR biosensors and bioassays.
