Abstract
Graphene has become an attractive material in the field of electrochemical detection owing to its unique electrical properties. Although the simple stacking structures of two-dimensional (2D) graphene sheets can provide excellent detection properties, a macroscopic three-dimensional (3D) structure needs to be constructed to enhance its functional properties. Graphene with a 3D structure has elegant functions, unlike graphene with a 2D structure. These properties include a large specific surface area, easy loading of nanomaterials with electrocatalytic and redox functions, and so on. Herein, we outline the preparation methods (self-assembly, chemical vapor deposition, templates, and 3D printing) for 3D graphene structures for obtaining excellent detection performance and applications in detecting biological molecules, bacteria, and cells. Furthermore, this review focuses on the improvement of the detection performance and enhancement of the applicability of graphene-based electrochemical sensors. We hope that this article will provide a reference for the future development of electrochemical sensors based on 3D graphene composites.

Abstract
The conventional hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-based electrochemical biosensors usually require the immobilization of probes on the electrode surface. This will limit the applications of biosensors due to the shortcomings of complex immobilization processes and low HCR efficiency. In this work, we proposed astrategy for the design of HCR-based electrochemical biosensors by integrating the advantages of homogeneous reaction and heterogeneous detection. Specifically, the targets triggered the autonomous cross-opening and hybridization oftwobiotin-labeled hairpin probes to form long-nicked dsDNA polymers. The HCR products with many biotin tags were then captured by a streptavidin-covered electrode, thus allowing for the attachment of streptavidin-conjugated signal reporters through streptavidin-biotin interactions. By employing DNA and microRNA-21 as the model targets and glucose oxidase as the signal reporter, the analytical performances of the HCR-based electrochemical biosensors were investigated. The detection limits of this method were found to be 0.6 fM and 1 fM for DNA and microRNA-21, respectively. The proposed strategy exhibited good reliability for target analysis in serum and cellular lysates. The strategy can be used to develop various HCR-based biosensors for a wide range of applications because sequence-specific oligonucleotides exhibit high binding affinity to a series of targets. In light of the high stability and commercial availability of streptavidin-modified materials, the strategy can be used for the design of different biosensors by changing the signal reporter and/or the sequence of hairpin probes.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification techniques have always been one of the hot spots of research, especially in the outbreak of COVID-19. From the initial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the current popular isothermal amplification, each new amplification techniques provides new ideas and methods for nucleic acid detection. However, limited by thermostable DNA polymerase and expensive thermal cycler, PCR is difficult to achieve point of care testing (POCT). Although isothermal amplification techniques overcome the defects of temperature control, single isothermal amplification is also limited by false positives, nucleic acid sequence compatibility, and signal amplification capability to some extent. Fortunately, efforts to integrating different enzymes or amplification techniques that enable to achieve intercatalyst communication and cascaded biotransformations may overcome the corner of single isothermal amplification. In this review, we systematically summarized the design fundamentals, signal generation, evolution, and application of cascade amplification. More importantly, the challenges and trends of cascade amplification were discussed in depth.

Abstract
With the continuous development of biosensors, researchers have focused increasing attention on various signal amplification strategies to pursue superior performance for more applications. In comparison with other signal amplification strategies, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a powerful signal amplification technique shows its certain charm owing to nonenzymatic and isothermal features. Recently, on the basis of conventional HCR, this technique has been developed and improved rapidly, and a variety of HCR-based biosensors with excellent performance have been reported. Herein, we present a systematic and critical review on the research progress of HCR in biosensors in the last five years, including the newly developed HCR strategies such as multibranched HCR, migration HCR, localized HCR, in situ HCR, netlike HCR, and so on, as well as the combination strategies of HCR with isothermal signal amplification techniques, nanomaterials, and functional DNA molecules. By illustrating some representative works, we also summarize the advantage and challenge of HCR in biosensors, and offer a deep discussion of the latest progress and future development trends of HCR in biosensors.

Abstract
Chirality is a fundamental property of a molecule, and the significant progress in chirality detection and quantification of a molecule has inspired major advances in various fields ranging from chemistry, biology, to biotechnology and pharmacology. Chiral molecules have identical molecular formulas, atom-to-atom linkages, and bonding distances, and as such they are difficult to distinguish both sensitively and selectively. Today, most new drugs and those under development are chiral, which requires technological developments in the separation and detection of chiral molecules. Therefore, rapid and facile methods to detect and discriminate chiral compounds are necessary to accelerate advances in many research fields. The challenges in analysis stem from the obvious fact that chiral molecules have the same physical properties. Although significant progress on the detection of enantiomeric composition has been achieved in the past decade, in order to fully realize the capacity of chiral molecular interrogation, highly sensitive and selective, portable, and easy-to-use detection remains challenging because of the limitation of conventional techniques.Soft nanoarchitectonics is a new concept for the fabrication of functional soft material systems through harmonization of various actions including atomic/molecular-level manipulation, chemical reactions, self-assembly and self-organization, and their modulation by external fields/stimuli. Soft nanoarchitectonics has been widely used as a key enabling technology for integrating predefined molecular functionalities including electrochemical, optical, catalytic, or biological properties into biosensing devices, which provides exciting opportunities to design, assemble, and fabricate tailored nanosystems to enable new sensing strategies for chiral molecules.In this Account, we aim to concisely discuss how these molecule-inspired soft nanoarchitectonics work for enantioselective sensing. We will first outline the basic principle and mechanistic insights of the soft nanoarchitectonics approach for enantioselective sensing, and then we will describe the new breakthroughs and trends in the area that have been most recently reported by our groups and others. There will also be a discussion on the merits of soft nanoarchitectonics based sensing in comparison to conventional analytical methods. Finally, with this Account, we hope to spark new chiral molecule sensing strategies by fundamentally understanding chiral recognition and engineering soft nanoarchitectonics with programmable structures and predictable sensing properties.
