Abstract
In this work, we proposed a sensitive and selective colorimetric assay for single nucleotide mutation (SNM) detection combining rolling circle amplification (RCA) and G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme complex formation. In the detection principle, the first step involves ssDNA hybridization with a padlock probe (PLP) DNA, which can discriminate a single base mismatch. The successful ligation is followed by an RCA event to generate an abundance of G-quadruplexes (GQ-RCA) which are then transformed into a DNAzyme (G-quadruplex/hemin complex) by the addition of hemin. The color change from colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into colored oxTMB when hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added indicated the presence of a mutation. The assay had a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.14 pM. Mutations in samples from breast cancer patients were successfully detected with an accuracy of 100% when compared to Sanger sequencing results. The method is easily applicable even in resource poor setting regions given that it doesn't require any sophisticated or expensive instruments, and the signal readout is detectable simply by the naked eye. Our assay might be a useful tool for genetic analysis and clinical molecular diagnosis for breast cancer risk assessment and early detection.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are crystalline inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles a few nanometers in size that possess unique optical electronic properties vs those of larger materials. For example, QDs usually exhibit a strong and long-lived photoluminescence emission, a feature dependent on size, shape and composition. These special optoelectronic properties make them a promising alternative to conventional luminescent dyes as optical labels in biomedical applications including biomarker quantification, biomolecule targeting and molecular imaging. A key parameter for use of QDs is to functionalize their surface with suitable (bio)molecules to provide stability in aqueous solutions and efficient and selective tagging biomolecules of interest. Researchers have successfully developed biocompatible QDs and have linked them to various biomolecule recognition elements, i.e., antibodies, proteins, DNA, etc. In this chapter, QD synthesis and characterization strategies are reviewed as well as the development of nanoplatforms for luminescent biosensing and imaging-guided targeting. Relevant biomedical applications are highlighted with a particular focus on recent progress in ultrasensitive detection of clinical biomarkers. Finally, key future research goals to functionalize QDs as diagnostic tools are explored.

Abstract
Because of high sensitivity and specificity, isothermal nucleic acid amplification are widely applied in many fields. To facilitate and improve their performance, various nanomaterials, like nanoparticles, nanowires, nanosheets, nanotubes, and nanoporous films are introduced in isothermal nucleic acid amplification. However, the specific application, roles, and prospect of nanomaterials in isothermal nucleic acid amplification have not been comprehensively reviewed. Here, the application of different nanomaterials (0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D) in isothermal nucleic acid amplification is comprehensively discussed and recent progress in the field is summarized. The nanomaterials are mainly used for reaction enhancer, signal generation/amplification, or surface loading carriers. In addition, 3D nanomaterials can be also functioned as isolated chambers for digital nucleic acid amplification and the tools for DNA sequencing of amplified products. Challenges and future recommendations are also proposed to be better used for recent covid-19 detection, point-of-care diagnostic, food safety, and other fields.

Abstract
Early detection is one of the ways to deal with DNA virus widespread prevalence, and it is necessary to know new diagnostic methods and techniques. Colorimetric assays are one of the most advantageous methods in detecting viruses. These methods are based on color change, which can be seen either with the naked eye or with special devices. The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate effective colorimetric methods based on amplification, nanoparticle, CRISPR/Cas, and Lateral flow in the diagnosis of DNA viruses and to discuss the effectiveness of each of the updated methods. Compared to the other methods, colorimetric assays are preferred for faster detection, high efficiency, cheaper cost, and high sensitivity and specificity. It is expected that the spread of these viruses can be prevented by identifying and developing new methods.

Abstract
The introduction of nucleic acid amplification techniques has revolutionized the field of medical diagnostics in the last decade. The advent of PCR catalyzed the increasing application of DNA, not just for molecular cloning but also for molecular based diagnostics. Since the introduction of PCR, a deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms and enzymes involved in DNA/RNA replication has spurred the development of novel methods devoid of temperature cycling. Isothermal amplification methods have since been introduced utilizing different mechanisms, enzymes, and conditions. The ease with which isothermal amplification methods have allowed nucleic acid amplification to be carried out has had a profound impact on the way molecular diagnostics are being designed after the turn of the millennium. With all the advantages isothermal amplification brings, the issues or complications surrounding each method are heterogeneous making it difficult to identify the best approach for an end-user. This review pays special attention to the various isothermal amplification methods by classifying them based on the mechanistic characteristics which include reaction formats, amplification information, promoter, strand break, and refolding mechanisms. We would also compare the efficiencies and usefulness of each method while highlighting the potential applications and detection methods involved. This review will serve as an overall outlook on the journey and development of isothermal amplification methods as a whole.

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has exposed the world's preparation to fight against unknown/unexplored infectious and life-threatening pathogens. The unavailability of vaccines, slow or sometimes unreliable real-time virus/bacteria detection techniques, insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE), and a shortage of ventilators and many other transportation equipments have further raised serious concerns. Material research has been playing a pivotal role in developing antimicrobial agents for water treatment and photodynamic therapy, fast and ultrasensitive biosensors for virus/biomarkers detection, as well as for relevant biomedical and environmental applications. It has been noticed that these research efforts nowadays primarily focus on the nanomaterials-based platforms owing to their simplicity, reliability, and feasibility. In particular, nanostructured fluorescent materials have shown key potential due to their fascinating optical and unique properties at the nanoscale to combat against a COVID-19 kind of pandemic. Keeping these points in mind, this review attempts to give a perspective on the four key fluorescent materials of different families, including carbon dots, metal nanoclusters, aggregation-induced-emission luminogens, and MXenes, which possess great potential for the development of ultrasensitive biosensors and infective antimicrobial agents to fight against various infections/diseases. Particular emphasis has been given to the biomedical and environmental applications that are linked directly or indirectly to the efforts in combating COVID-19 pandemics. This review also aims to raise the awareness of researchers and scientists across the world to utilize such powerful materials in tackling similar pandemics in future.

Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the carrier of genetic information in living life, is an essential biomacromolecule in almost all living systems. DNA has advantages including, programmability, predictability, high rigidity, and stability. Through self-assembly or combination with other nanomaterials (such as gold nanoparticles, graphene oxides, quantum dots, and polymers), DNA can be applied to construct specific, stable, biocompatible, and functional nanodevices. DNA nanodevices have made greater contributions in a plethora of fields. In this review, we discuss the recent progress of DNA nanodevices in molecular detection and analysis. Meanwhile, we prospect the development of various DNA devices in biological analysis, clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Dark-field microscopy (DFM) based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was used for observation of experimental phenomena, which is a hopeful nondamaging and non-photobleaching biological imaging technique. In this strategy, plasma nanoaggregates with stronger scattering efficiency were formed in the presence of the target, causing a "turn-on" phenomenon, when asymmetry modified AuNPs were introduced as probes with zero LSPR background. First, Au1-N3 probe and Au2-C≡C probe were designed for the cycloaddition between azide and alkyne to form AuNP dimers under catalytic action by Cu+, which was obtained from the reduction of Cu2+ by sodium ascorbate. The two kinds of probes were successfully used for the detection of Cu2+ in rat serum. Then, to apply this concept to protein on cells, DNA and antibody were modified on the probes. DNA1/Au1-N3 probe and anti-HER2/Au2-C≡C probe were proposed for HER2 protein DFM on cells. By designing an aptamer sequence in primer, the rolling circle amplification (RCA) was introduced in HER2 DFM on cells, and the image signal was much brighter than that from no-RCA. The unique design made it easier to discriminate the target signal from background noise in cell DFM. This method might be used in the fields of molecular diagnostics and cell imaging.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification technology (NAAT) has assumed a critical position in disease diagnosis in recent times and contributed significantly to healthcare. Application of these methods has resulted in a more sensitive, accurate and rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases than older traditional methods like culture-based identification. NAAT such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely applied but seldom available to resource-limited settings. Isothermal amplification (IA) methods provide a rapid, sensitive, specific, simpler and less expensive procedure for detecting nucleic acid from samples. However, not all of these IA techniques find regular applications in infectious diseases diagnosis. Disease diagnosis and treatment could be improved, and the rapidly increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance reduced, with improvement, adaptation, and application of isothermal amplification methods in clinical settings, especially in developing countries. This review centres on some isothermal techniques that have found documented applications in infectious diseases diagnosis, highlighting their principles, development, strengths, setbacks and imminent potentials for use at points of care.

Characterization of Binding of Magnetic Nanoparticles to Rolling Circle Amplification Products by Turn-On Magnetic Assay. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2019; 9:bios9030109. [PMID: 31533330 PMCID: PMC6784358 DOI: 10.3390/bios9030109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
The specific binding of oligonucleotide-tagged 100 nm magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to rolling circle products (RCPs) is investigated using our newly developed differential homogenous magnetic assay (DHMA). The DHMA measures ac magnetic susceptibility from a test and a control samples simultaneously and eliminates magnetic background signal. Therefore, the DHMA can reveal details of binding kinetics of magnetic nanoparticles at very low concentrations of RCPs. From the analysis of the imaginary part of the DHMA signal, we find that smaller MNPs in the particle ensemble bind first to the RCPs. When the RCP concentration increases, we observe the formation of agglomerates, which leads to lower number of MNPs per RCP at higher concentrations of RCPs. The results thus indicate that a full frequency range of ac susceptibility observation is necessary to detect low concentrations of target RCPs and a long amplification time is not required as it does not significantly increase the number of MNPs per RCP. The findings are critical for understanding the underlying microscopic binding process for improving the assay performance. They furthermore suggest DHMA is a powerful technique for dynamically characterizing the binding interactions between MNPs and biomolecules in fluid volumes.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are highly attractive nanomaterials with wide biomedical applications owing to their unique photophysical properties. However, the adaptation of the nonenzymatic QD nanosensor assembly to sense low-abundance targets remains a great challenge. Herein, taking advantage of the dynamic DNA nanotechnology and single-molecule fluorescence detection, we demonstrate the catalytic self-assembly of a QD-based microRNA nanosensor directed by toehold-mediated strand displacement cascade for the simple and sensitive detection of microRNA at femtomolar concentration without the requirement of any enzymes. Moreover, this QD nanosensor is capable of detecting circulating microRNA in clinical serum samples and even imaging microRNA in living cells. This work may extend the use of an enzyme-free QD nanosensor assembly for low-abundance biomarker detection and offer a novel platform for fundamental biomedical research and clinical applications.

Abstract
A disposable package of biosensors was developed along with the corresponding guidelines for early detection of the acute lymphoblastic leukemia cancer. This proposed cancer-screening package included a DNA sensor and an aptasensor as two main types of biosensors. The biosensors were used simultaneously. This combination of sensors can detect not only the presence of mutant genes but also the biomarkers of cancer. At current work, the combination of sensors were used to detect the presence of BCR-ABL1 as a mutant gene and CEA as a biomarkers of cancer, such a capability makes the package liable for early and certain detection of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To construct both the DNA sensor and the aptasensor, a nanocomposite consisting of electrosynthesis carbon quantum dots and biosynthesized gold nanoparticles was applied. The construction of these biosensors was characterized using four different electrochemical methods including DPV (Differential Pulse Voltammetry), EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), CV (Cyclic Voltammetry) and chronoamperometry. The peak current of a catechol solution that was used as an electroactive probe on the biosensor was linearly related to the logarithm of the concentrations of the target DNA and the target antigen in the range of 10 pM to 100 μM and 1 pg mL-1 to 0.001 g mL-1 with the detection limits of 1.5 pM and 0.26 pg mL-1 respectively, which are quite good results.

Abstract
A novel and versatile immunosensing strategy was developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of proteins by organically integrating interfacial specific target recognition and homogeneous transcription amplification. In principle, classic antigen-antibody sandwich structure on the microplate could realize the specific identification of target protein. Biotinylated DNA probe was subsequently introduced by streptavidin-biotin system as a bridge linking interfacial and homogeneous reaction. The biotinylated DNA initiated exponential transcription amplification in the solution, which converted per target recognition event on the interface to numerous single-stranded RNA products in solution for highly sensitive fluorescence immunosensing. The proposed immunoassay based on interfacial recognition-induced homogeneous exponential transcription (IR-HET) for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) detection showed a good linear range from 0.01 to 1000 pg/mL and the limit of detection as low as 1 fg/mL, which was 3 orders lower than traditional ELISA method. The established strategy was also successfully applied to directly detect VEGF from culture supernatants of tumor cells and clinical body fluid samples, proving very high sensitivity, selectivity and low matrix effect. Therefore, IR-HET-based immunosensing strategy might become a potential powerful tool be applied in ultrasensitive detection of low abundance protein biomarker for clinical early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive flow cytometric immunoassay (TdT-FCI) is developed based on bead surface-initiated template-free DNA extension.
Proteins lack the duplication mechanism like nucleic acids, so the connection of immunoassays with effective nucleic acid amplification techniques has become a powerful way for the detection of trace protein biomarkers in biological fluids. However, such immunoassays generally suffer from rather stringent DNA sequence design and complicated operations. Herein, we propose a simple but highly sensitive flow cytometric immunoassay (FCI) by employing on-bead terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-initiated template-free DNA extension as an effective signal amplification pathway (TdT-FCI), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) co-functionalized with both the detection antibody and a 3′-OH oligonucleotide (ODN) as the transducer to bridge the immunoassay and subsequent TdT-mediated DNA amplification. The target antigen can sandwich with the capture antibody immobilized on the magnetic beads (MBs) and the detection antibody on the AuNPs to bring a lot of ODNs onto the surface of MBs. Each ODN on the MBs can be effectively elongated by TdT in a template-free manner to produce a long poly(T) tail, which will then bind to many 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled poly(A)25. Since each AuNP can carry multiple ODNs and each extended ODN can ultimately capture numerous FAM-poly(A)25, efficiently amplified fluorophore accumulation on the MBs can be achieved. The fluorescent MBs can be individually interrogated with a flow cytometer and thus quantitative analysis of the target antigen can be realized. Coupled with the powerful flow cytometry analysis, the simple but efficient TdT-based signal amplification mechanism has pushed the detection limit of prostate specific antigen (PSA) down to a low level of 0.5 pg mL–1. Furthermore, based on an elegant bead size-encoding principle, we have further advanced the TdT-FCI for multiplexed antigen detection in a single reaction. Sharing the unique merits of simple design and operation, efficient signal amplification, powerful signal readout and the capability for multiplexed analysis, this TdT-FCI provides a versatile tool for detecting trace antigen biomarkers towards clinical diagnosis as well as prognosis.

Abstract
In this work, a novel mesoporous luminescence-functionalized metal-organic framework (Ru-PCN-777) with high stability and excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance was synthesized by immobilizing Ru(bpy)2(mcpbpy)2+ on the Zr6 cluster of PCN-777 via a strong coordination bond between Zr4+ and -COO-. Consequently, the Ru(bpy)2(mcpbpy)2+ could not only cover the surface of PCN-777 but also graft into the interior of PCN-777, which greatly increased the loading amount of Ru(bpy)2(mcpbpy)2+ and effectively prevented the leaching of the Ru(bpy)2(mcpbpy)2+ resulting in a stable and high ECL response. Considering the above merits, we utilized the mesoporous Ru-PCN-777 to construct an ECL immunosensor to detect mucin 1 (MUC1) based on proximity-induced intramolecular DNA strand displacement (PiDSD). The ECL signal was further enhanced by the enzyme-assisted DNA recycling amplification strategy. As expected, the immunosensor had excellent sensitivity, specificity, and responded wide linearly to the concentration of MUC1 from 100 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 33.3 fg/mL (S/N = 3). It is the first time that mesoporous Zr-MOF was introduced into ECL system to assay biomolecules, which might expand the application of mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in bioanalysis. This work indicates that the use of highly stable mesoporous luminescence-functionalized MOFs to enhance the ECL intensity and stability is a feasible strategy for designing and constructing high-performance ECL materials, and therefore may shed light on new ways to develop highly sensitive and selective ECL sensors.

Abstract
MicroRNAs have been reported as related to multiple diseases and have potential applications in diagnosis and therapeutics. However, detection of miRNAs remains improvable, given their complexity, high cost, and low sensitivity as of currently. In this study, we attempt to build a novel platform that detects miRNAs at low cost and high efficacy. This detection system contains isothermal amplification, detecting and reporting process based on rolling circle amplification, CRISPR-Cas9, and split-horseradish peroxidase techniques. It is able to detect trace amount of miRNAs from samples with mere single-base specificity. Moreover, we demonstrated that such scheme can effectively detect target miRNAs in clinical serum samples and significantly distinguish patients of non-small cell lung cancer from healthy volunteers by detecting the previously reported biomarker: circulating let-7a. As the first to use CRISPR-Cas9 in miRNA detection, this method is a promising approach capable of being applied in screening, diagnosing, and prognosticating of multiple diseases.

Abstract
Malaria is among the major threats to global health with the main burden of disease being in rural areas of developing countries where accurate diagnosis based on non-invasive samples is in high demand. We here present a novel molecular assay for detection of malaria parasites based on technology that may be adapted for low-resource settings. Moreover, we demonstrate the exploitation of this assay for detection of malaria in saliva. The setup relies on pump-free microfluidics enabled extraction combined with a DNA sensor substrate that is converted to a single-stranded DNA circle specifically by topoisomerase I expressed by the malaria causing Plasmodium parasite. Subsequent rolling circle amplification of the generated DNA circle in the presence of biotin conjugated deoxynucleotides resulted in long tandem repeat products that was visualized colorimetrically upon binding of horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and addition of 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine that was converted to a blue colored product by HRP. The assay was directly quantitative, specific for Plasmodium parasites, and allowed detection of Plasmodium infection in a single drop of saliva from 35 out of 35 infected individuals tested. The results could be determined directly by the naked eye and documented by quantifying the color intensity using a standard paper scanner.

Abstract
Tumor cells overexpress surface markers which are absent from normal cells. These tumor-restricted antigenic signatures are a fundamental basis for distinguishing on-target from off-target cells for ligand-directed targeting of cancer cells. Unfortunately, tumor heterogeneity impedes the establishment of a solid expression pattern for a given target marker, leading to drastic changes in quality (availability) and quantity (number) of the target. Consequently, a subset of cancer cells remains untargeted during the course of treatment, which subsequently promotes drug-resistance and cancer relapse. Since target inefficiency is only problematic for cancer treatment and not for treatment of other pathological conditions such as viral/bacterial infections, target amplification or the generation of novel targets is key to providing eligible antigenic markers for effective targeted therapy. This review summarizes the limitations of current ligand-directed targeting strategies and provides a comprehensive overview of tumor target amplification strategies, including self-amplifying systems, dual targeting, artificial markers and peptide modification. We also discuss the therapeutic and diagnostic potential of these approaches, the underlying mechanism(s) and established methodologies, mostly in the context of different nanodelivery systems, to facilitate more effective ligand-directed cancer cell monitoring and targeting.

Hydrogel-based suspension array for biomarker detection using horseradish peroxidase-mediated silver precipitation. Anal Chim Acta 2017; 999:132-138. [PMID: 29254564 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2017.10.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2017] [Revised: 10/18/2017] [Accepted: 10/26/2017] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Advances in medical diagnostics and personalized therapy require robust, sensitive yet cost-effective diagnostic tools for rapid measurement of biomolecules including proteins in body fluids. State-of-the-art technologies are complex and rely on expensive or custom made detection system, and therefore, cannot be readily adapted for point-of-care (POC) analysis. The development of a novel detection platform, which leverages horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated silver precipitation within antibody immobilized porosity tuned poly (ethylene) glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel microparticles with the operational advantages of suspension arrays for sensitive quantification of biomarkers, is described. In this study, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been used as a model protein. The silver deposition corresponded to the concentration of VEGF in solution. The detection limit of 5.2 ± 1.0 pg/mL and assay time of 2 h highlights that this assay exceeds the conventional technologies in terms of sensitivity and speed. The practical applicability of the hydrogel microparticle based detection system has been established by demonstrating the ability of the system to quantify the production of VEGF by highly aggressive (MDA-MB-231) and non-aggressive (MCF-7) breast cancer cells. The reliance on simple instrument for quantification of clinically relevant markers bolsters the adaptability of the detection platform/method in POC settings.

Abstract
DNA nano-structures present appealing new means for monitoring different molecules. Here, we demonstrate the assembly and utilization of a surface-attached double-stranded DNA catenane composed of two intact interlinked DNA nano-circles for specific and sensitive measurements of the life essential topoisomerase II (Topo II) enzyme activity. Topo II activity was detected via the numeric release of DNA nano-circles, which were visualized at the single-molecule level in a fluorescence microscope upon isothermal amplification and fluorescence labeling. The transition of each enzymatic reaction to a micrometer sized labeled product enabled quantitative detection of Topo II activity at the single decatenation event level rendering activity measurements in extracts from as few as five cells possible. Topo II activity is a suggested predictive marker in cancer therapy and, consequently, the described highly sensitive monitoring of Topo II activity may add considerably to the toolbox of individualized medicine where decisions are based on very sparse samples.

Abstract
The so-called Rolling Circle Amplification allows for amplification of circular DNA structures in a manner that can be detected in real-time using nucleotide-based molecular beacons that unfold upon recognition of the DNA product, which is being produced during the amplification process. The unfolding of the molecular beacons results in a fluorescence increase as the Rolling Circle Amplification proceeds. This can be measured in a fluorometer. In the current study, we have investigated the possibility of using two different molecular beacons to detect two distinct Rolling Circle Amplification reactions proceeding simultaneously and in the same reaction tube by measurement of fluorescence over time. We demonstrate the application of this fluorometric readout method, for automated and specific detection of the activity of the type IB topoisomerase from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in the presence of human cell extract containing the related topoisomerase I from humans. The obtained results point towards a future use of the presented assay setup for malaria diagnostics or drug screening purposes. In longer terms the method may be applied more broadly for real-time sensing of various Rolling Circle Amplification reactions.

Abstract
Glycans on the cell surfaces are essential for cellular communication. Metabolically labeling glycans can introduce unnatural sugars into cellular glycans, which can facilitate further labeling. We report herein imaging cell surface glycosylation by using click chemistry and DNA rolling circle amplification (RCA) to improve detection sensitivity. Through the RCA amplification, the image resolution of a cell was significantly improved and much fewer unnatural sugars were used than required previously. The advantage of this method is that it avoids introducing too much unnatural sugar, which can interfere with normal, physiological cell function. Simultaneously, the enhanced fluorescence intensity conveniently facilitates the detection of cells' own biosynthetic glycans by simply using a microplate reader. The results indicate that the metabolically labelling ability is different for different carbohydrates and different cells. Next, the RCA technique was adopted in a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based methodology that facilitated the glycan imaging of specific proteins on the cell surface. This method is broadly applicable to imaging the glycosylation of cellular proteins. Our results highlight the applications of RCA in metabolic glycan labeling, which can be used to monitor the glycosylation status on cells, and study the means by which glycosylation regulates cell function.

Abstract
A mass spectrometry signal amplification method is developed for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of low-abundance protein biomarkers by utilizing tag molecules on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). EpCAM and thrombin as model targets are captured by specific aptamers immobilized on the AuNPs. With laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF MS), the mass tag molecules are detected to represent the protein biomarkers. Benefiting from the MS signal amplification, the assay can achieve a limit of detection of 100 aM. The method is further applied to detect thrombin in fetal bovine serum and EpCAM in cell lysates to demonstrate its selectivity and feasibility in complex biological samples. With the high sensitivity and specificity, the protocol shows great promise for providing a new route to single-cell analysis and early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific methodologies for detection of pathogenic gene at the point-of-care are still urgent demands in rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases. This work develops a simple and pragmatic electrochemical biosensing strategy for ultrasensitive and specific detection of pathogenic nucleic acids directly by integrating homogeneous target-initiated transcription amplification (HTITA) with interfacial sensing process in single analysis system. The homogeneous recognition and specific binding of target DNA with the designed hairpin probe triggered circular primer extension reaction to form DNA double-strands which contained T7 RNA polymerase promoter and served as templates for in vitro transcription amplification. The HTITA protocol resulted in numerous single-stranded RNA products which could synchronously hybridized with the detection probes and immobilized capture probes for enzyme-amplified electrochemical detection on the biosensor surface. The proposed electrochemical biosensing strategy showed very high sensitivity and selectivity for target DNA with a dynamic response range from 1 fM to 100 pM. Using salmonella as a model, the established strategy was successfully applied to directly detect invA gene from genomic DNA extract. This proposed strategy presented a simple, pragmatic platform toward ultrasensitive nucleic acids detection and would become a versatile and powerful tool for point-of-care pathogen identification.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a sensitive and universal aptasensor for nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) detection based on peroxidase-like mimic coupled DNA nanoladders for signal amplification. The dsDNA formed by capture DNA S1 and NF-κB binding aptamer (NBA) was firstly assembled on electrode surface. The presence of target NF-κB then led to the leave of NBA from electrode surface and thus provided the binding sites for immobilizing initiator to trigger in situ formation of DNA nanoladders on electrode surface. Since the peroxidase-like mimic manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (4-Nmethylpyridyl)-porphyrin (MnTMPyP) interacts with DNA nanoladders via groove binding, the insoluble benzo-4-chlorohexadienone (4-CD) precipitation derived from the oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (4-CN) could be formed on electrode surface in the presence of H2O2, resulting in a significantly amplified EIS signal output for quantitative target analysis. As a result, the developed aptasensor showed a low detection limit of 7pM and a wide linear range of 0.01-20nM. Featured with high sensitivity and label-free capability, the proposed sensing scheme can thus offer new opportunities for achieving sensitive, selective and stable detection of different types of target proteins.

Isothermal amplification of nucleic acids is a simple process that rapidly and efficiently accumulates nucleic acid sequences at constant temperature. Since the early 1990s, various isothermal amplification techniques have been developed as alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These isothermal amplification methods have been used for biosensing targets such as DNA, RNA, cells, proteins, small molecules, and ions. The applications of these techniques for in situ or intracellular bioimaging and sequencing have been amply demonstrated. Amplicons produced by isothermal amplification methods have also been utilized to construct versatile nucleic acid nanomaterials for promising applications in biomedicine, bioimaging, and biosensing. The integration of isothermal amplification into microsystems or portable devices improves nucleic acid-based on-site assays and confers high sensitivity. Single-cell and single-molecule analyses have also been implemented based on integrated microfluidic systems. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the isothermal amplification of nucleic acids encompassing work published in the past two decades. First, different isothermal amplification techniques are classified into three types based on reaction kinetics. Then, we summarize the applications of isothermal amplification in bioanalysis, diagnostics, nanotechnology, materials science, and device integration. Finally, several challenges and perspectives in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Spectrometrically or optically encoded microsphere based suspension array technology (SAT) is applicable to the high-throughput, simultaneous detection of multiple analytes within a small, single sample volume. Thanks to the rapid development of nanotechnology, tremendous progress has been made in the multiplexed detecting capability, sensitivity, and photostability of suspension arrays. In this review, we first focus on the current stock of nanoparticle-based barcodes as well as the manufacturing technologies required for their production. We then move on to discuss all existing barcode-based bioanalysis patterns, including the various labels used in suspension arrays, label-free platforms, signal amplification methods, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based platforms. We then introduce automatic platforms for suspension arrays that use superparamagnetic nanoparticle-based microspheres. Finally, we summarize the current challenges and their proposed solutions, which are centered on improving encoding capacities, alternative probe possibilities, nonspecificity suppression, directional immobilization, and "point of care" platforms. Throughout this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive guide for the design of suspension arrays, with the goal of improving their performance in areas such as multiplexing capacity, throughput, sensitivity, and cost effectiveness. We hope that our summary on the state-of-the-art development of these arrays, our commentary on future challenges, and some proposed avenues for further advances will help drive the development of suspension array technology and its related fields.
