Abstract
With the continuous discovery and research of predictive cancer-related biomarkers, liquid biopsy shows great potential in cancer diagnosis. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and microfluidic technology have received much attention among the various cancer biomarker detection methods. The former has ultrahigh detection sensitivity and can provide a unique fingerprint. In contrast, the latter has the characteristics of miniaturization and integration, which can realize accurate control of the detection samples and high-throughput detection through design. Both have the potential for point-of-care testing (POCT), and their combination (lab-on-a-chip SERS (LoC-SERS)) shows good compatibility. In this paper, the basic situation of circulating proteins, circulating tumor cells, exosomes, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and microRNA (miRNA) in the diagnosis of various cancers is reviewed, and the detection research of these biomarkers by the LoC-SERS platform in recent years is described in detail. At the same time, the challenges and future development of the platform are discussed at the end of the review. Summarizing the current technology is expected to provide a reference for scholars engaged in related work and interested in this field.

Abstract
Metal microhoneycomb structures have received considerable attention as a type of interaction-efficient functional devices owing to their unique morphology and material properties. Microhoneycomb structures are mainly fabricated using the well-known breath-figure method. However, additional post-treatments are required to produce a metal structure because it is a polymer-based process, and this necessitates expensive, complex, and multi-step fabrication processes. Therefore, a simple, low-cost metal honeycomb fabrication process is necessary. In this paper, the laser patterning of an organometallic solution to produce silver microhoneycomb (Ag microhoneycomb) structures is proposed. Various phenomena such as rapid organic evaporation, silver nanoparticle solidification, and material reorganization from Marangoni flow are found to enable patterning-induced microhoneycomb formation. Parametric studies demonstrate that the pore size can be easily controlled through simple laser parameter changes. In addition, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies confirm the potential electrochemical applications of the Ag microhoneycomb structures based on the variation of electrochemical redox behavior depending on the pore size. Owing to the excellent advantages of one-step laser patterning without any templates, the proposed process will likely promote the practical use of the metal microhoneycomb structures.

Abstract
Unravelling the structure of thiolated metalloid gold nanoclusters in the medium-sized range by single crystal X-ray crystallography (SCXC) is challenging. Herein, we successfully synthesized a novel Au67 (SR)35 nanocluster, and unravelled its single crystal structure by SCXC, which features a mix-structured Au48 kernel protected by one Au4 (SR)5 staple and fifteen Au(SR)2 staples. Unprecedentedly, this structure can be thermally induced to aggregate into larger nanoparticles and self-deposit to form a gold nanoparticles film onto the walls of a vial or other substrates such as quartz, mica or ceramic, which can be developed into a facile, substrate-universal and scalable filming method. The film exhibits high sensitivity, uniformity and recyclability as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate and can be applied for detecting multiple organic pollutants.

Abstract
Porous structures on solid surfaces prepared artificially through the water droplet template method have the features of easy operation, low cost and self-removal of templates, and thus are widely applied in the fields of medicine, biomedicine, adsorption, catalysis, and separation, optical and electronic materials. Due to their tunable dimensions, abundant selection of materials, mechanical stability, high porosity, and enlarged pore surface, the formed porous interfaces show specific significance in bio-related systems. In this study, recent achievements related to applications of porous interfaces and a focus into biological and medical-related systems are summarized. The discussion involves the preparation of porous interfaces, and porous interface-induced cell behaviors including culture, growth, proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation of cells. The inhibitory effect of bacteria and separated features of microorganisms supported by porous interfaces, the immobilization of biomolecules related to proteins, DNA and enzymes, and the controllable drug delivery are also discussed. The summary of recent advances pointed out in the study, are suggestive of insights for motivating unique potential applications including their extension to porous interfaces in biomedical materials.

Abstract
As an efficient technique for the preparation of polymeric hexagonal orderly arrays, the breath figure (BF) process has opened a modern avenue for a bottom-up fabrication method for more than two decades. Through the use of the water vapor condensation on the solution surface, the water droplets will hexagonally pack into ordered arrays, acting as a template for controlling the regular micro patterns of polymeric films. Comparing to the top-down techniques, such as lithography or chemical etching, the use of water vapor as the template provides a simple fabrication process with sustainability. However, using highly hazardous solvents such as chloroform, carbon disulfide (CS2), benzene, dichloromethane, etc., to dissolve polymers might hinder the development toward green processes based on this technique. In this review, we will touch upon the contemporary techniques of the BF process, including its up-to-date applications first. More importantly, the search of greener processes along with less hazardous solvents for the possibility of a more sustainable BF process is the focal point of this review.

Abstract
Accurate analysis of prostate cancer specific biomarkers plays an important role in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Traditional colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) has the limitations of low detection sensitivity and qualitative or semiquantitative detection. In this study, we developed a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based competitive LFA for the rapid and highly sensitive quantitative evaluation of prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) mimic DNA. Herein, the competitive hybridization interaction with capture DNA between target PCA3 mimic DNA and reporter DNA-labeled SERS nanotags results in a change in the amount of SERS nanotags on the test line. The quantitative analysis of target PCA3 mimic DNA was realized by monitoring the Raman peak intensity of SERS nanotags on the test line. The limit of detection of PCA3 mimic DNA was estimated to be 3 fM, which is about three orders of magnitude more sensitive than that of a commercially available kit. By combining the outstanding characteristics of the well-established SERS-based competitive strategy and LFA platform, our design has strong potential for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
Developing substrates that enable both reproducible and highly sensitive Raman detection of trace amounts of molecules in aqueous systems remains a challenge, although these substrates are crucial in biomedicine and environmental sciences. To address this issue, we report spatially uniform plasmonic nanowrinkles formed by intimate contact between plasmonic nanograins on the surface of colloidal crystal monolayers. The Au or Ag nanograin layers coated on hydrogel colloidal crystal monolayers can reversibly wrinkle and unwrinkle according to changes in the water temperature. The reversible switches are directed by surface structural changes in the colloidal crystal monolayers, while the colloids repeat the hydration-dehydration process. The Au and Ag nanowrinkles are obtained upon hydration, thus enabling the highly reproducible detection of Raman probes in water at the nano- and picomolar levels, respectively, throughout the entire substrate area. Additionally, the reversible switching of the nanostructures in the plasmonic nanograin layers causes reversible dynamic changes in the corresponding Raman signals upon varying the water temperature.

Abstract
This paper reports on a simple and cost-effective process of developing a stable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on silver (Ag) nanoparticles deposited on silicon (Si) surface. Durability is an important issue for preparing SERS active substrate as silver nanostructures are prone to rapid surface oxidation when exposed to ambient conditions, which may result in the loss of the enhancement capabilities in a short period of time. Here, we employ the galvanic displacement method to produce Ag nanoparticles on Si(100) substrate prepatterned with arrays of micropyramids by chemical etching, and subsequently, separate pieces of such substrates were annealed in oxygen and nitrogen environments at 550 °C. Interestingly, while nitrogen-annealed Si substrates were featured by spherical-shaped Ag particles, the oxygen annealed Si substrates were dominated by the formation of triangular shape particles attached with the spherical one. Remarkably, the oxygen-annealed substrate thus produced shows very high SERS enhancement compared to the either unannealed or nitrogen annealed substrate. The hitherto unobserved coexistence of triangular morphology with the spherical one and the gap between the two (source of efficient hot-spots) are the origin of enhanced SERS activity for the oxygen-annealed Ag particle-covered Si substrate as probed by the combined finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation and cathodoluminesensce (CL) experiment. As the substrate has already been annealed in an oxygen environment, further probability of oxidation is reduced in the present synthesis protocol that paves the way for making a novel long-lived thermally stable SERS substrate.

Abstract
A novel nanosilver-deposited silica-coated Fe3O4 magnetic particle (Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag) with uniform size, good SERS activity and magnetic responsiveness was synthesized using amination polymer. The Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag magnetic particles have been successfully applied for ultrasensitive SERS detection of malachite green (MG) in water samples. The mechanism is that MG can be adsorbed on the silver surface of nanosilver-coated magnetic particles via one nitrogen atom, and the Raman signal intensity of MG is significantly enhanced by the nanosilver layer formed on the magnetic particles. The developed sensing system exhibited a sensitive response to MG in the range of 10 fM to 100 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) 2 fM under optimal conditions. The LOD was several orders of magnitude lower than those of other methods. This SERS-based sensor showed good reproducibility and stability for MG detection. The silver-coated magnetic particles could easily be regenerated as SERS substrates only using low pH solution for multiple sensing events. The recovery of MG added to several water samples at different concentrations ranged from 90% to 110%. The proposed method facilitates the ultrasensitive analysis of dyes to satisfy the high demand for ensuring the safety of water sources.
