Abstract
Herein, a newly designed two-in-one tetrahedral DNA (TDN) nanostructure with an antifouling surface and backbone-rigidified interfacial tracks was developed for highly sensitive and selective detection of miRNA-182-5p. The well-regulated TDN tracks were assembled onto the surface of the TiO2/MIL-125-NH2-functionalized paper electrode, which efficiently avoided the obstacle of DNA strand tangling and decreased the probability of suspension during the walking process, thus greatly promoting the moving efficiency of DNA walkers. More interestingly, the TDN-modified sensing interfaces demonstrated incomparable antifouling ability against protein samples and interfering miRNAs due to the strong hydrophilic capacity and special molecular conformations, which addressed the dilemma of low sensitivity from traditional antifouling coating strategies. As a proof of concept, the designed bifunctional tetrahedron-modified paper-based photoelectrochemical sensor was successfully used to quantify miRNA-182-5p with a low detection limit of 0.09 fM and high specificity and was validated for monitoring of miRNA-182-5p in real samples. This TDN-engineered biointerface could be used as a universal platform for tracking various targets by substituting the biorecognition events, providing great promise for bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials have become the subject of intensive interest because their intriguing physical and chemical properties are different from those of their bulk counterparts, leading to novel applications in smart sensors. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites with different structures and toxic effects produced by fungi. Mycotoxins have low molecular weights and highly diverse molecular structures, which can induce a spectrum of biological effects in humans and animals even at low concentrations. A tremendous amount of biosensor platforms based on various carbon nanocomposites have been developed for the determination of mycotoxins. Therefore, the contents of this review are based on a balanced combination of our own studies and selected research studies performed by academic groups worldwide. We first address the vital preparation methods of biorecognition unit (antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers)-functionalized carbon-based nanomaterials for sensing mycotoxins. Then, we summarize various types of smart sensors for the detection of mycotoxins. We expect future research on smart sensors to show a significant impact on the detection of mycotoxins in food products.

Abstract
DNA circuits as one of the dynamic nanostructures can be rationally designed and show amazing geometrical complexity and nanoscale accuracy, which are becoming increasingly attractive for DNA entropy-driven amplifier design. Herein, a novel and elegant exciton-plasmon interaction (EPI)-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed with the assistance of a programmable entropy-driven DNA amplifier and superparamagnetic nanostructures. Low-abundance miRNA-let-7a as a model can efficiently initiate the operation of the entropy-driven DNA amplifier, and the released output DNAs can open the partially hybridized double-stranded DNA anchored on Fe3O4@SiO2 particles. The liberated Au nanoparticles (NPs)-cDNA can completely hybridize with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs)-cDNA-1 and result in proportionally decreased photocurrent of CdSe/ZnS QDs-cDNA-1. This unique entropy-driven amplification strategy is beneficial for reducing the reversibility of each step reaction, enables the base sequence invariant and the reaction efficiency improvement, and exhibits high thermal stability and specificity as well as flexible design. These features grant the PEC biosensor with ultrasensitivity and high selectivity. Also, instead of solid-liquid interface assembly for conventional EPI-based PEC biosensors, herein, DNA hybridization in the solution phase enables the improved hybridization efficiency and sensitivity. In addition, superparamagnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 particles further ensure the enhancement of the selectivity and reliability of the as-designed PEC biosensor. Particularly, this single-step electrode modification procedure evidently improves the electrode fabrication efficiency, reproducibility, and stability.

Abstract
Tumor exosomes are promising biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis in a noninvasive manner. However, precise capture and direct analysis of tumor-specific exosomes in complex biological samples are still challenging. Herein, we present a highly efficient dual-aptamer recognition system for precisely isolating and quantifying tumor exosomes from the complex biological environment based on hyperbranched DNA superstructure-facilitated signal amplification and ratiometric dual-signal strategies. When tumor exosomes were captured by the dual-aptamer recognition system, the cholesterol-modified DNA probe was anchored on the surface of the exosomes, activating DNA tetrahedron-based hyperbranched hybridization chain reaction to generate a sandwich complex. Then, the sandwich complex could bind a large number of Ru(NH3)63+ (Ru(III)), leading to a small amount of unbound Ru(III) left in the supernatant after magnetic separation. Hence, the redox reaction between Ru(II) and [Fe(CN)6]3- (Fe(III)) was significantly prevented, causing an obviously enhanced IFe(III)/IRu(III) value. Consequently, highly sensitive detection of tumor exosomes was achieved. The developed approach successfully realized direct isolation and analysis of tumor exosomes in complex sample media and human serum samples as well. More significantly, this ratiometric dual-signal mode and immobilization-free strategy effectively circumvented the systematic errors caused by external factors and the tedious probe immobilization processes, thus displaying the excellent performances of high reliability, improved accuracy, and easy manipulation. Overall, this approach is expected to offer novel ways for nondestructive early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Methods capable of sensitive and facile quantification of low-abundant proteins play critical roles in disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, on a rationally designed aptamer-based hairpin structure-switching template, we developed a protein triggering exponential amplification reaction (PTEXPAR) method. The platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) is used as model analyte in the current proof-of-concept experiments. This method can detect PDGF-BB specifically with a detection limit as low as 4.9 fM. Additionally, the proposed PTEXPAR strategy allows label- and wash-free one-pot quantification of protein within ~35 min. Moreover, it is potentially universal because hairpin template can be easily designed for other proteins by changing the corresponding aptamer sequence.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of optical biosensors for the detection of biomarkers associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is presented here, including microRNAs (miRNAs), C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and histidine, which are biomarkers that enable RA detection and/or monitoring. An overview of the different optical biosensors (based on fluorescence, plasmon resonances, interferometry, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) among other optical techniques) used to detect these biomarkers is given, describing their performance and main characteristics (limit of detection (LOD) and dynamic range), as well as the connection between the respective biomarker and rheumatoid arthritis. It has been observed that the relationship between the corresponding biomarker and rheumatoid arthritis tends to be obviated most of the time when explaining the mechanism of the optical biosensor, which forces the researcher to look for further information about the biomarker. This review work attempts to establish a clear association between optical sensors and rheumatoid arthritis biomarkers as well as to be an easy-to-use tool for the researchers working in this field.

Abstract
The detection of circulating miRNA through isothermal amplification wields many attractive advantages over traditional methods, such as reverse transcription RT-qPCR. However, it is challenging to control the background signal produced in the absence of target, which severely hampers applications of such methods for detecting low abundance targets in complex biological samples. In the present work, we employed both the cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoflakes and the chemical modification of hexanediol to block non-specific template elongation in exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR). Adsorption by the CoOOH nanoflakes and the hexanediol modification at the 3' end effectively prevented no-target polymerization on the template itself and thus greatly improved the performance of EXPAR, detecting as low as 10 aM of several miRNA targets, including miR-16, miR-21, and miR-122, with the fluorescent DNA staining dye of SYBR Gold™. Little to no cross-reactivity was observed from the interfering strands present in 10-fold excess. Besides contributing to background reduction, the CoOOH nanoflakes strongly adsorbed nucleic acids and isolated them from a complex sample matrix, thus permitting successful detection of the target miRNA in the serum. We expect that simple but sensitive template-blocking EXPAR could be a valuable tool to help with the discovery and validation of miRNA markers in biospecimens. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A simple and label-free sensing platform with low background based on the chain-displacement triggered self-assembly of Ag NCs was developed for ratiometric visual analysis of intracellular miRNA-21. Based on this sensitively ratiometric sensing approach, a picomole limit detection for miRNA-21 can be obtained. Most importantly, compared with the traditional single base mismatch detection method, our proposed method can realize single base mismatch detection according to the remarkable fluorescence color conversion, rather than simple fluorescence intensity change, which can obviously improve the accuracy and reliability. In addition, successful multicolor real-time monitoring of intracellular miRNA-21 makes the probe a potential candidate for miRNA-21 inhibiting drug screening. Furthermore, MCF-7, HeLa, and normal L02 cells can also be visually differentiated according to the fluorescence color by using the label-free sensing platform, showing its potential prospect in target visual analysis.

Abstract
A new simple, sensitive and specific strategy for microRNA analysis has been described based on a hybridization chain reaction with hemin/G-quadruplex enzymatic catalysis-induced MoS2 quantum dots via the inner filter effect. The target microRNA triggers the hybridization chain reaction between two DNA probes to generate long dsDNA with many hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzymes in the presence of hemin. With the assistance of H2O2, the produced hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme could oxidize o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) directly, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of MoS2 quantum dots via the inner filter effect. As an example, the fluorescence response of MoS2 quantum dots is linearly related with the logarithm of the microRNA let-7a concentration with a detection limit of 42 fM. The proposed label-free assay has promising potential to be applied in practical diagnosis.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is characterized by extremely high mortality and poor prognosis and is projected to be the leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. Due to the lack of early symptoms and appropriate methods to detect pancreatic carcinoma at an early stage as well as its aggressive progression, the disease is often quite advanced by the time a definite diagnosis is established. The 5-year relative survival rate for all stages is approximately 8%. Therefore, detection of pancreatic cancer at an early surgically resectable stage is the key to decrease mortality and to improve survival. The traditional methods for diagnosing pancreatic cancer involve an imaging test, such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, paired with a biopsy of the mass in question. These methods are often expensive, time consuming, and require trained professionals to use the instruments and analyze the imaging. To overcome these issues, biosensors have been proposed as a promising tool for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The present review critically discusses the latest developments in biosensors for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Protein and microRNA biomarkers of pancreatic cancer and corresponding biosensors for pancreatic cancer diagnosis have been reviewed, and all these cases demonstrate that the emerging biosensors are becoming an increasingly relevant alternative to traditional techniques. In addition, we discuss the existing problems in biosensors and future challenges.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, endogenous, noncoding RNAs that play critical roles in physiologic and pathologic processes and are vital biomarkers for several disease diagnostics and therapeutics. Therefore, rapid, low-cost, sensitive, and selective detection of miRNAs is of paramount importance and has aroused increasing attention in the field of medical research. Among the various reported miRNA sensors, devices based on graphene and its derivatives, which form functional supramolecular nanoassemblies of π-conjugated molecules, have been revealed to have great potential due to their extraordinary electrical, chemical, optical, mechanical, and structural properties.

Abstract
In this work, we report a low-cost and easy operation biosensor platform capable of detection of various analytes with high sensitivity and good selectivity. By ingeniously assigning the specific aptamer into a primer-template integrated DNA template, and using monolayer graphene oxide as a reversible and nonspecific inhibitor, the simple biosensor platform is set up. Without a target, the DNA template is constrained by the graphene oxide sheet and results in low signal. In the presence of a target, the constrained DNA template is released from the graphene oxide surface via a target-induced aptamer conformational change, and further amplified through the improved strand displacement amplification reaction. Therefore, the target detection is simply converted to DNA detection, and a correlation between target concentration and fluorescence signal can be set up. As a result, dozens-fold signal enhancement, high sensitivity, good selectivity, and potential practicability are achieved in target detection. More importantly, the proposed biosensor platform is versatile, meaning that it can greatly facilitate the detection of a variety of analytes. Due to the low cost and easy availability of sensing materials, and the elimination of tedious detection operations, we believe that this simple and universal biosensor platform can find wide applications in biological assay and environment monitoring.

Abstract
Orderly nucleic acid aggregates (ONAAs) self-assembled on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with positively charged aminopropyl groups (PC) were firstly developed. Interestingly, a novel electrostatic DNA self-assembly could realize hybridization chain reaction (HCR) on the surface of PCMSNs in single cells. Significantly, a non-destructive amplification strategy based on ONAAs-PCMSNs was successfully developed for miRNA detection and in situ imaging by the prominent and agminated fluorescence-bright spots in living cells.

Abstract
A fluorometric method is presented for sensitive deternination of microRNA. It is making use of carbon dots (C-dots) loaded with a DNA probe as fluorophore and MnO2 nanosheets as the quenching agent. The blue-green fluorescence of the DNA-loaded C-dots is quenched by the MnO2 nanosheets, but restored on binding target microRNA-155. The maximum excitation wavelength and the maximum emission wavelength of C-dots are at 360 nm and 455 nm, respectively. Fluorescence correlates linearly with the log of the microRNA-155 concentration in two ranges, viz. from 0.15 to 1.65 aM and from 1.65 to 20 aM. The detection limit is as low as 0.1 aM. The assay can discriminate between fully complementary and single-base mismatch microRNA. The assay displayed high specificity when used to detect MCF-7 breast cancer cells which can be detected in concentrations from 1000 to 45,000 cells·mL-1, with a 600 cells·mL-1 detection limit. The method was applied to the analysis of serum samples spiked with microRNA, and satisfactory results were acquired. Graphical abstract Schematic of a fluorometric sensing platform for miRNA-155. The method relies on a FRET process between C-dots and MnO2 nanosheets. This strategy has a practical application for detection of miRNA in cell lines and biological fluids.

Abstract
Single-cell analysis of bioactive molecules is an essential strategy for a better understanding of cell biology, exploring cell heterogeneity, and improvement of the ability to detect early diseases. In single-cell analysis, highly efficient single-cell manipulation techniques and high-sensitive detection schemes are in urgent need. The rapid development of fluorescent analysis techniques combined with microfluidic chips have offered a widely applicable solution. Thus, in this review, we mainly focus on the application of fluorescence methods in components analysis on microchips at a single-cell level. By targeting different types of biological molecules in cells such as nucleic acids, proteins, and active small molecules, we specially introduce and comment on their corresponding fluorescent probes, fluorescence labelling and sensing strategies, and different fluorescence detection instruments used in single-cell analysis on a microfluidic chip. We hope that through this review, readers will have a better understanding of single-cell fluorescence analysis, especially for single-cell component fluorescence analysis based on microfluidic chips.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) considered as the third health "killer" has seriously threatened the health of the elderly. However, the modern diagnostic strategies of AD present several disadvantages: the low accuracy and specificity resulting in some false-negative diagnoses, and the poor sensitivity leading to a delayed treatment. In view of this situation, a enzyme-free and target-triggered signal amplification strategy, based on graphene oxide (GO) and entropy-driven strand displacement reaction (ESDR) principle, was proposed. In this strategy, when the hairpin structure probes (H)specially binds with beta-amyloid-(1-42) oligomers (Aβ42 oligomers), it's structure will be opened, causing the bases complementary to FAM-labeled replacement probes R (R1 and R2) exposed. At this time, R1 and R2 will hybridize with H, resulting in the bound Aβ42 oligomers released. The released Aβ42 oligomers would participate in the next cycle reaction, making the signal amplified. As a quencher, GO could absorb the free single-stranded DNA R1 and R2 and quench their fluorescence; however, the DNA duplex still exists free and keeps its signal-on. Through the detection of Aβ42 oligomers in exosomes, this ultrasensitive detection method with the advantages of low limit of detection (LOD, 20 pM), great accuracy, excellent precision and convenience provides an excellent prospect for AD's early diagnosis.

Abstract
Modern optical detection technology plays a critical role in current clinical detection due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. However, higher requirements such as extremely high detection sensitivity have been put forward due to the clinical needs for the early finding and diagnosing of malignant tumors which are significant for tumor therapy. The technology of isothermal amplification with nucleic acids opens up avenues for meeting this requirement. Recent reports have shown that a nucleic acid amplification-assisted modern optical sensing interface has achieved satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy, high speed and specificity. Compared with isothermal amplification technology designed to work completely in a solution system, solid biosensing interfaces demonstrated better performances in stability and sensitivity due to their ease of separation from the reaction mixture and the better signal transduction on these optical nano-biosensing interfaces. Also the flexibility and designability during the construction of these nano-biosensing interfaces provided a promising research topic for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer diseases. In this review, we describe the construction of the burgeoning number of optical nano-biosensing interfaces assisted by a nucleic acid amplification strategy, and provide insightful views on: (1) approaches to the smart fabrication of an optical nano-biosensing interface, (2) biosensing mechanisms via the nucleic acid amplification method, (3) the newest strategies and future perspectives.

Abstract
Small RNAs have been considered as potential biomarkers of various human diseases. Sensitive and multiplexed determination of small RNAs with point-of-care (POC) assay would be of great significance. Herein, an integrated paperfluidic chip device for multiplexed small RNA analysis was developed for the first time. In this system, the extraction and purification of small RNA was completed through a poly(ether sulfone) (PES) paper chip without the need for centrifugation. Subsequently, a newly designed hairpin probe-exponential amplification reaction (HP-EXPAR) was directly performed within the extraction paper chip. For the simultaneous realization of multiple detection, a multilayer paper chip was designed in a foldable manner with more portability and usability. Quantum dots (QDs) were employed as signal labels, which endowed this assay with high optical detection efficiency. Moreover, magnetic sheets were introduced as an alternative method for layer stacking, not only guaranteeing adjacent layers are in contact but also facilitating the sample dispersion. With these outstanding characteristics, our platform obtained a satisfactory sensitivity range from 3 × 105 to 3 × 108 copies with a limit of 3 × 106 copies. Additionally, the multiplex small RNA analyses from various cancer cells were in good agreement with the results of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). More importantly, simultaneous analysis of two types of miRNAs from clinical tumor samples demonstrated the clinical applicability of the system. Therefore, the proposed paper-based device shows great promise for POC applications in the future.

Single-step, homogeneous and sensitive detection for microRNAs with dual-recognition steps based on luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) using upconversion nanoparticles. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 100:475-481.

Abstract
A single-step, homogeneous and sensitive LRET assay is presented for the detection of miRNAs. The amplification-free assay provides a unique combination of high specificity with dual-recognition approach of different hybridization and ligation steps and preventing background auto-fluorescence in biological samples using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as signal-producing nanoprobes. The assay probe is composed of signal-producing unit (a pair of homogeneous upconversion luminescence resonance energy transfer (UC-LRET)-based oligonucleotides) and recognition unit (two adaptor oligonucleotides). In the presence of target miRNAs, the probe and target miRNAs leads to the formation of stable double-strands and semi-stable adaptor-miRNAs complexes with an adaptor nick. Ligation of the nick using ligase cause the formation of stable double-strands, resulting in UCNPs-to-dye UC-LRET for detection of the miRNAs with near-infrared radiation (980nm). Sensitive detection of miRNA-21 at concentrations of 200pM to 1.4nM and detection limits of 0.095nM with good precision of 3.9% (RSD) for seven repeated measurements of 500pM miRNAs demonstrate the feasibility of both high throughput and point-of-care clinical diagnostics. The homogeneous UC-LRET assay without any washing can be extended to the application in other important types of nucleic acid analysis.

Abstract
Expression profiling of multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) generally provides valuable information for understanding various biological processes. Thus, it is necessary to develop a sensitive and accurate miRNA assay suitable for multiplexing. Isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) has received significant interest as an miRNA analysis method because of high amplification efficiency. However, EXPAR cannot be used for a broader range of applications owing to limitations such as complexity of probe design and lack of proper detection method for multiplex analysis. Here, we developed a sensitive and accurate multiplex miRNA profiling method using modified isothermal EXPAR combined with high-resolution capillary electrophoresis-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP). To increase target miRNA specificity, a stem-loop probe was introduced instead of a linear probe in isothermal EXPAR to allow specific amplification of multiple miRNAs with minimal background signals. CE-SSCP, a conformation-dependent separation method, was used for detection. Since CE-SSCP eliminates the need for probes to have different lengths, easier designing of probes with uniform amplification efficiency was possible. Eight small RNAs comprising six miRNAs involved in Caenorhabditis elegans development and two controls were analyzed. The expression patterns obtained using our method were concordant with those reported in previous studies, thereby supporting the proposed method’s robustness and utility.

Abstract
The detection of specific intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) in living cells can potentially provide insight into the causal mechanism of cancer metastasis and invasion. However, because of the characteristic nature of miRNAs in terms of small sizes, low abundance, and similarity among family members, it is a great challenge to monitor miRNAs in living cells, especially those with much lower expression levels. In this work, we describe the establishment of a DNA-fueled and catalytic molecule machinery in cell signal amplification approach for monitoring trace and under-expressed miRNAs in living cells. The presence of the target miRNA releases the hairpin sequences from the dsDNA (containing the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair-labeled and unfolded hairpin sequences)-conjugated gold nanoparticles (dsDNA-AuNPs), and the DNA fuel strands assist the recycling of the target miRNA sequences via two cascaded strand displacement reactions, leading to the operation of the molecular machine in a catalytic fashion and the release of many hairpin sequences. As a result, the liberated hairpin sequences restore the folded hairpin structures and bring the FRET pair into close proximity to generate significantly amplified signals for detecting trace miRNA targets. Besides, the dsDNA-AuNP nanoprobes have good nuclease stability and show low cytotoxicity to cells, and the application of such a molecular system for monitoring trace and under-expressed miRNAs in living cells has also been demonstrated. With the advantages of in cell signal amplification and reduced background noise, the developed method thus offers new opportunities for detecting various trace intracellular miRNA species.

Abstract
An interference-free and label-free sensing platform was developed for the highly sensitive detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) in vitro by magnetic silicon microsphere (MNP)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based sandwich probe. In this method, DNA capture probes (P1) were connected with MNPs at the 5' end and hybridized with completely complementary target miRNA. Subsequently, rGO was retained and induced the fluorescence quenching in the supernatant. Through the magnetic separation, the supernatant environment was simplified and the interference to analytical signal was eliminated. When DNA capture probe-modified magnetic silicon microspheres (MNP-P1) were adsorbed through rGO in the absence of a target and formed a sandwich structure, the formed nanostructure was easily removed from the solution by a magnetic field and the fluorescence intensity was maximally recovered. This proposed strategy, which both overcame the expensive and cumbersome fluorescent labeling, and eliminated interference to analytical signal for guaranteeing high signal-to-background ratio, exhibited high sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 0.098nM and special selectivity toward miRNA-21. The method was potentially applicable for not only detection of miRNA-21 but also various biomarker analyses just by changing capture probes.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
Laborious and costly detection of miRNAs has brought challenges to its practical applications, especially for home health care, rigorous military medicine, and the third world. In this work, we present a pH-responsive miRNA amplification method, which allows the detection of miRNA just using a pH test paper. The operation is easy and no other costly instrument is involved, making the method very friendly. In our strategy, a highly efficient isothermal amplification of miRNA is achieved using an improved netlike rolling circle amplification (NRCA) technique. Large amounts of H+ can be produced as a byproduct during the amplification to induce significant changes of pH, which can be monitored directly using a pH test paper or pH-sensitive indicators. The degree of color changes depends on the amount of miRNA, making it possible for quantitative analysis. As an example, the method is successfully applied to quantify a miRNA (miR-21) in cancer cells. The results agree well with that from the prevalent qRT-PCR analysis. It is the first time that a paper-based point-of-care testing (POCT) is developed for the detection of miRNAs, which might promote the popularization of miRNAs working as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
A sensitive fluorescent strategy for sequence specific recognition of HIV dsDNA was established based upon Nicking Enzyme Signal Amplification (NESA) and triplex formation. dsDNA sequence from the site 7960 to site 7991 of the HIV1 dsDNA gene was designed as target dsDNA, which was composed of two complementary strands Oligonucleotide 1 with the sequence of 3'-CTT CCT TAT CTT CTT CTT CCA CCT CTC TCT CT-5' (Oligo-1) and Oligonucleotide 2 with the sequence of 5'-GAA GGA ATA GAA GAA GAA GGT GGA GAG AGA GA-3' (Oligo-2). As a proof of concept, Oligonucleotide 5'-6-FAM-GAG GTG GAG CTG CGC GAC TCC TCC TCT CTC TCT CTC CAC CTC-BHQ-1-3'(Oligo-4) acted as molecular beacon(MB) probe, Oligonucleotide 5'-CTT CCT TAT CTT CTT CTT CCA AAA GGA GTC GCG-3' (Oligo-7) acted as assistant probe. In the presence of target dsDNA, Oligo-4 and Oligo-7 hybridized with target dsDNA through triplex formation and formed Y-shaped structure, NESA occurred with further addition of Nt.BbvCI, accompanied with the release of fluorescent DNA fragment circularly, resulted in the increase of fluorescence intensity. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity was linear with the concentration of target dsDNA over the range from 100pM to 200nM, the linear regression equation was I = 1.266 C + 84.3 (C: nmol/L, R2 = 0.991), with a detection limit of 65pM. Moreover, the effect of coexisted other dsDNA was investigated as well, and satisfactory results were obtained.

Abstract
This study addresses the need for sensitive pesticide assay by reporting a new label-free and immobilization-free homogeneous electroanalytical strategy, which combines acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-catalyzed hydrolysis product-mediated DNA conformational switch and rolling circle amplification (RCA) to detect organophosphorous and carbamate pesticides in a "signal-on" mode. When target pesticides were present, AChE activity was inhibited and could not trigger the following DNA conformational change and the RCA reaction, which results in numerous methylene blue (MB) molecules in a free state, generating a strong electrochemical response. This proposed strategy was highly sensitive for omethoate detection with a detection limit as low as 2.1 μg/L and a linear range from 10 to 10 000 μg/L. Furthermore, this strategy was demonstrated to be applicable for pesticide detection in real samples. Thus, this novel label-free homogeneous electroanalytical strategy holds great promise for pesticide detection and can be further exploited for sensing applications in the environment and the food safety field.

Abstract
Developing simple and inexpensive methods to ultrasensitively detect biomarkers is important for medical diagnosis, food analysis and environmental security. In recent years, isothermal amplifications with sensitivity, high speed, specificity, accuracy, and automation have been designed based on interdisciplinary approaches among chemistry, biology, and materials science. In this article, we summarize the advances in nanostructure assisted isothermal amplification in the past two decades for the detection of commercial biomarkers, or biomarkers extracted from cultured cells or patient samples. This article has been divided into three parts according to the ratio of target-to-signal probe in the detection strategy, namely, the N : N amplification ratio, the 1 : N amplification ratio, and the 1 : N(2) amplification ratio.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most attributed materials for opening new possibilities in the development of next generation biosensors. Due to the coexistence of hydrophobic domain from pristine graphite structure and hydrophilic oxygen containing functional groups, GO exhibits good water dispersibility, biocompatibility, and high affinity for specific biomolecules as well as properties of graphene itself partly depending on preparation methods. These properties of GO provided a lot of opportunities for the development of novel biological sensing platforms, including biosensors based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and electrochemical detection. In this review, we classify GO-based biological sensors developed so far by their signal generation strategy and provide the comprehensive overview of them. In addition, we offer insights into how the GO attributed in each sensor system and how they improved the sensing performance.

Abstract
We herein report a novel finding that nucleic acid molecular aggregates (NAMAs) self-assembled on graphene oxide nanoplates (GONPs) as a result of DNA rolling circle amplification (RCA) and a functionalized triple-helix probe (THP) in single cells. The functionalized THP containing the aptamer region for target recognition and the trigger DNA region for RCA was firstly used to activate RCA for miRNA imaging in single cells. Interestingly, NAMAs with the fluorescent labels were hybridized by both the RCA products and FAM-DNA, and could partly self-assemble on GONPs; meanwhile, NAMAs could extend from the GONPs, which led to the quenched fluorescence being renewed. Significantly, the NAMAs were successfully applied for low-abundance miRNA detection and imaging in single cells. The self-assembled NAMAs could generate prominent and agminated fluorescence-bright spots in single cancer cells, which will effectively drive cell imaging into a new era.

Abstract
As is well-known, graphene shows a remarkable difference in affinity toward nonstructured single-stranded (ss) DNA and double-stranded (ds) DNA. This property makes it popular to prepare DNA-based optical sensors. In this work, taking this unique property of graphene in combination with the sensitive electrochemical transducer, we report a novel affinity-mediated homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor using graphene modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the sensing platform. In this approach, the specific aptamer-target recognition is converted into an ultrasensitive electrochemical signal output with the aid of a novel T7 exonuclease (T7Exo)-assisted target-analog recycling amplification strategy, in which the ingeniously designed methylene blue (MB)-labeled hairpin DNA reporters are digested in the presence of target and, then, converted to numerous MB-labeled long ssDNAs. The distinct difference in differential pulse voltammetry response between the designed hairpin reporters and the generated long ssDNAs on the graphene/GCE allows ultrasensitive detection of target biomolecules. Herein, the design and working principle of this homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor were elucidated, and the working conditions were optimized. The gel electrophoresis results further demonstrate that the designed T7Exo-assisted target-analog recycling amplification strategy can work well. This electrochemical aptasensor realizes the detection of biomolecule in a homogeneous solution without immobilization of any bioprobe on electrode surface. Moreover, this versatile homogeneous electrochemical sensing system was used for the determination of biomolecules in real serum samples with satisfying results.

Abstract
Medical diagnosis has been greatly improved thanks to the development of new techniques capable of performing very sensitive detection and quantifying certain parameters. These parameters can be correlated with the presence of specific molecules and their quantity. Unfortunately, these techniques are demanding, expensive, and often complicated. On the other side, progress in other fields of science and technology has contributed to the rapid growth of nanotechnology. Although being an emerging discipline, nanotechnology has raised huge interest and expectations. Most of the enthusiasm comes from new possibilities and properties of nanomaterials. Biosensors (simple, robust, sensitive, cost-effective) combined with nanomaterials, also called nanobiosensors, are serving as bridge between advanced detection/diagnostics and daily/routine tests. Here we review some of the latest applications of nanobiosensors in diagnostics field.
