Abstract
Nucleic acids have become viable prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for a diverse class of diseases, particularly cancer. However, the low femtomolar to attomolar concentration of nucleic acids in human samples require sensors with excellent detection capabilities; many past and current platforms fall short or are economically difficult. Strand-mediated signal amplifiers such as hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) are superior methods for detecting trace amounts of biomolecules because one target molecule triggers the continuous production of synthetic double-helical DNA. This cascade event is highly discriminatory to the target via sequence specificity, and it can be coupled with fluorescence, electrochemistry, magnetic moment, and electrochemiluminescence for signal reporting. Here, we review recent advances in enhancing the sensing abilities in HCR and CHA for improved live-cell imaging efficiency, lowered limit of detection, and optimized multiplexity. We further outline the potential for clinical translatability of HCR and CHA by summarizing progress in employing these two tools for in vivo imaging, human sample testing, and sensing-treating dualities. We finally discuss their future prospects and suggest clinically-relevant experiments to supplement further related research.

Abstract
Negatively charged, pH-sensitive, very thin gel layers with accumulated hexaammineruthenium (II)/(III) were deposited on conducting surfaces. The gel was synthesized by applying an electrochemically induced free-radical polymerization method. This method allowed covering the electrode surface with an uniform and compact layer. The modified electrodes exhibited excellent current switch on/off behavior in response to changes in pH. However, the main goal of this study was to achieve the control of the layer thickness by changing the oxidation state of hexaammineruthenium. The layers could be reversibly swollen/shrinked by applying appropriate potentials.

Abstract
Cytokine sensing is challenging due to their typically low abundances in physiological conditions. Nanomaterial fabricated interfaces demonstrated unique advantages in ultrasensitive sensing. Here, we demonstrate an amperometric sensing device based on graphene oxide (GO) and structure-switching aptamers for long-term detection of cytokines in a living organism. The device incorporates a single layer of GO acting as a signal amplifier on glassy carbon electrodes. The hairpin aptamers specific to interferon-γ (IFN-γ), which were loaded with redox probes, are covalently attached to GO to serve as biorecognition moieties. IFN-γ was able to trigger the configuration change of aptamers while releasing the trapped redox probes to introduce the electrochemical signal. This in vivo device was capable of quantitatively and dynamically detecting IFN-γ down to 1.3 pg mL-1 secreted by immune cells in cell culture medium with no baseline drift even at a high concentration of other nonspecific proteins. The biocompatible devices were also implanted into subcutaneous tissue of enteritis mice, where they performed precise detection of IFN-γ over 48 h without using physical barriers or active drift correction algorithms. Moreover, the device could be reused even after multiple rounds of regeneration of the sensing interface.

Abstract
We report a label-free aptasensor to make direct detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA, a biomarker of prostate cancer) using a quinone-containing conducting copolymer acting as redox transducer and grafting matrix for immobilization of the short aptamer strands. It is shown that capture of PSA generates a current decrease (signal-off) measured by Square Wave Voltammetry. This current decrease is specific for PSA above a limit of quantification in the ng mL(-1) range. The change in current is used to determine the PSA-aptamer dissociation constant K(D), of ca. 2.6 nM. To consolidate the proof of concept, a heterogeneous competitive exchange with a complementary DNA strand which breaks PSA-aptamer interactions is studied. This double-check followed by a current increase provides full assurance of a perfectly specific recognition.
