Abstract
In this study, we utilized proteins to control the assembly of split DNAzyme to establish protein-controlled split DNAzymes (Pc SD), with the aim of enhancing its catalytic activity. To achieve this, simultaneous recognition of protein by affinity ligands at both ends of split DNAzyme fragments induced an increased local concentration of each split fragment, leading to reassembly of the split catalytic core with a rigid conformation and higher affinity to its cofactor. As a result, under protein control, Pc SD exhibits unexpected cleavage efficiency compared to free split DNAzyme. To further explore the catalytic features, we then systematically positioned split sites within the catalytic core of three popular DNAzyme-based Pc SDs, thus revealing the important nucleic acids that influence Pc SDs activity. Based on the excellent analytical performance of Pc SD for streptavidin (with a LOD of 0.1 pM in buffer),we equipped Pc SD with antibodies as rapid diagnostic tools for inpatient care (AFP as biomarker) with a minimized workflow (with a LOD of 2 pM in 5% human serum). The results of this study offer fundamental insights into external factors for boosting DNAzyme catalysis and will be promising for applications that utilize split DNAzymes.

Proximity hybridization induced bipedal DNA walker and rolling circle amplification for label-free electrochemical detection of apolipoprotein A4. Bioelectrochemistry 2024; 155:108596. [PMID: 37939432 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Apolipoprotein A4 (Apo-A4) is considered as a prospective molecular biomarker for diagnosis of depression due to its neurosynaptic toxicity. We develop a proximity hybridization-induced DNAzyme-driven bipedal DNA walker strategy for Apo-A4 quantification based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) triggered by poly adenine binding to Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). With the help of DNAzyme, the free-running bipedal DNA walker can quickly and sequentially shear a molecular beacon that acts as a primer to initiate the RCA process, producing a large number of long DNA strands containing numerous adenines. The long repetitive adenine strands then absorb large amounts of AgNPs on the electrode interface, which is then electrochemically stripped of the AgNPs. The method has a linear detection range of 0.001 ∼ 100 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 0.46 pg mL-1. The presented detection strategy is label-free, which allows high sensitivity and selectivity for detection of a wide range of protein targets by corresponding DNA-based affinity probes, which have potential applications in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Microarrays are one of the trailblazing technologies of the last two decades and have displayed their importance in all the associated fields of biology. They are widely explored to screen, identify, and gain insights on the characteristics traits of biomolecules (individually or in complex solutions). A wide variety of biomolecule-based microarrays (DNA microarrays, protein microarrays, glycan microarrays, antibody microarrays, peptide microarrays, and aptamer microarrays) are either commercially available or fabricated in-house by researchers to explore diverse substrates, surface coating, immobilization techniques, and detection strategies. The aim of this review is to explore the development of biomolecule-based microarray applications since 2018 onwards. Here, we have covered a different array of printing strategies, substrate surface modification, biomolecule immobilization strategies, detection techniques, and biomolecule-based microarray applications. The period of 2018-2022 focused on using biomolecule-based microarrays for the identification of biomarkers, detection of viruses, differentiation of multiple pathogens, etc. A few potential future applications of microarrays could be for personalized medicine, vaccine candidate screening, toxin screening, pathogen identification, and posttranslational modifications.

Abstract
Herein, a paper-based glucose/air biofuel cell (BFC) was constructed and implemented for self-powered pesticide detection. Our developed paper-based chip relies on a hollow-channel to transport fluids rather than capillarity, which reduces analysis times as well as physical absorption. The gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were adapted to modify the paper fibers to fabricate the flexible conductive paper anode/cathode electrode (Au-PAE/CNT-PCE). Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as a template were synthesized on Au-PAE for signal control. In the cathode, bilirubin oxidase (BOD) was used for the oxygen reduction reaction. Based on a competitive reaction between 2,4-D and glucose-oxidase-labeled 2,4-D (GOx-2,4-D), the amount of GOx immobilized on the bioanode can be simply tailored, thus a signal-off self-powered sensing platform was achieved for 2,4-D determination. Meanwhile, the coupling of the paper supercapacitor (PS) with the paper-based chip provides a simple route for signal amplification. Combined with a portable digital multi-meter detector, the amplified signal can be sensitively readout. Through rational design of the paper analytical device, the combination of BFC and PS provides a new prototype for constructing a low-cost, simple, portable, and sensitive self-powered biosensor lab-on-paper, which could be easily expanded in the field of clinical analysis and drug delivery.

Abstract
Tumor biomarkers are of great value in the liquid biopsy of malignant tumors. In this work, a simple and cost-friendly electrochemical aptasensor was presented for the highly sensitive and selective detection of glycoprotein tumor biomarkers. The DNA aptamer-modified electrode was used as the sensing interface to specifically capture the target glycoprotein tumor biomarkers, to which the alkyl halide initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were then attached via the esterification crosslinking between the boronic acid group and the cis-dihydroxyl sites of the conjugated oligosaccharide chains on glycoprotein tumor biomarkers followed by the growth of long-chain polymers through electrochemically controlled ATRP (eATRP) to efficiently recruit the ferrocene detection tags. As there are tens to hundreds of cis-dihydroxyl sites on a glycoprotein tumor biomarker for attaching ATRP initiators while each long-chain polymer can recruit hundreds to thousands of ferrocene detection tags, a significantly high current signal can be generated even in the presence of ultralow-abundance targets. Hence, the eATRP-based electrochemical aptasensor is capable of sensitively and selectively detecting glycoprotein tumor biomarkers. Using alpha-fetoprotein as the model target, the limit of detection was demonstrated to be 0.32 pg/mL. Moreover, the aptasensor has been successfully applied to detect glycoprotein tumor biomarkers in human serum samples. In view of its high sensitivity and selectivity, simple operation, and cost-friendliness, the eATRP-based electrochemical aptasensor shows great promise in the glycoprotein-based liquid biopsy of malignant tumors, even at the early stage of development.

Abstract
In this work, boronic ester-mediated dual recognition has been coupled with a CRISPR/Cas12a system; thus, a new method for highly specific and sensitive detection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is proposed via the simultaneous recognition of boronic acid and an LPS aptamer (LPSA) as well as signal amplification by CRISPR/Cas12a. Specifically, boronic acid-modified magnetic beads (MB@APBA) and aptamers are employed for the simultaneous dual recognition of LPS, while polymerase isotherm amplification is further utilized to induce LPS cycling and form a double strand, which can activate the CRISPR/Cas12a system so as to amplify the signal. Consequently, a linear detection range can be obtained from 0.05 to 5000 ng/mL, with the lowest detection limit of 44.86 pg/mL. The capturing of MB@APBA on 1, 2- and 1, 3-cis dihydroxyl-containing substances can not only eliminate the interference of other molecules but also enhance the highly specific recognition of LPSA on LPS. Moreover, MB@APBA can be reused by adjusting the pH value of the reaction system. The method can be developed as a universal platform for the analytical detection of other carbohydrates.

Abstract
A novel fluorescence (FL) imaging platform was established for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of cardiac troponin T (cTnT), based on a high-throughput immunosensor chip and a DNA dendrimer capped with a large number of fluorescent dyes (FDD@Cy5). Through an enzyme-free and step-by-step strategy, FDD@Cy5 was self-assembled facilely. After the formation of a sandwich immunocomplex and biotin–streptavidin conjugation, FDD@Cy5 could be captured on the chip. FL signals emerged from Cy5 under external light and the enrichment of Cy5 on the dendrimer led to signal amplification. A FL image containing 90 spots could be collected instantaneously by laser confocal scanning microscopy and the brightness of all the spots corresponded to the concentrations of target cTnT. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor chip coupled with FDD@Cy5 exhibited an excellent detection limit of 0.10 pg L−1, a wide linear range from 0.20 pg L−1 to 2.0 ng L−1, a sample consumption down to 3.0 μL and a maximum throughput of 45 tests per h. The proposed approach was also applied to cTnT quantitation in serum samples with acceptable accuracy, providing a new avenue for early diagnosis and the prognosis evaluation of acute myocardial infarction. A novel fluorescence imaging platform based on a high-throughput immunosensor chip and a DNA dendrimer capped with plenty of fluorescent dyes was proposed for ultrasensitive quantitation of cardiac troponin T.![]()

Abstract
Early diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is essential to prevent disease from spreading and progression. Herein, a novel electrochemical biosensor was developed for ultrasensitive detection of HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) amplification and DNA nanowires (DNW). After sandwich-type antibody-antigen recognition, the antibody-conjugated DNA was pulled to the electrode surface and further extended into a long DNA sequence by robust TdT reaction. Then, large numbers of methylene blue-loaded DNW (MB@DNW) as signal labels are linked to the extended DNA sequence. This results in an amplified electrochemical signal for HCVcAg determination, typically measured at around -0.25 V (Ag/AgCl). Under the optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor achieved a wide linear range for HCVcAg from 0.1 to 312.5 pg/mL with a low limit of detection of 32 fg/mL. The good practicality of the biosensor was demonstrated by recovery experiment (recoveries from 98 to 104% with RSD of 2.5-4.4%) and comparison with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Given the highlighted performance, the biosensor is expected to act as a reliable sensing tool for HCVcAg determination in clinics. Schematic representation of the ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) amplification linked with methylene blue-loaded DNA nanowires (MB@DNW), which can be applied to the determination of hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCVcAg) in clinical samples. dTTPs, 2'-deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 protein remains a great research interest in clinical screening and diagnosis owing to the coronavirus epidemic. Here, an ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) imaging strategy was developed through proximity hybridization to trigger the formation of a rolling circle-amplified G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 protein. The target protein was first recognized by a pair of DNA-antibody conjugates, Ab-1 and Ab-2, to form a proximity-ligated complex, Ab-1/SARS-CoV-2/Ab-2, which contained a DNA sequence complemental to block DNA and thus induced a strand displacement reaction to release the primer from a block/primer complex. The released primer then triggered a rolling circle amplification to form abundant DNAzyme units in the presence of hemin, which produced a strong chemiluminescent signal for the detection of the target protein by catalyzing the oxidation of luminol by hydrogen peroxide. The proposed assay showed a detectable concentration range over 5 orders of magnitude with the detection limit down to 6.46 fg/mL. The excellent selectivity, simple procedure, acceptable accuracy, and intrinsic high throughput of the imaging technique for analysis of serum samples demonstrated the potential applicability of the proposed detection method in clinical screening and diagnosis.

Abstract
In this paper, an intensive and glow-type chemiluminescence (CL) hydrogel was prepared by simultaneous incorporation of chemiluminescence reagent (luminol) and catalytic cofactor (hemin) into the scaffold of guanosine-derived hydrogel. The self-assembled hydrogel consisted of K+ stabilized hemin/G-quartet structures, showing significant enzyme-like activity to H2O2-mediated oxidation of luminol. After adding H2O2 into the hydrogel, blue light visible to naked eyes would come into being and last for over 8 h. The lasting-time CL emission of hydrogel was achieved due to a mechanism of slow-diffusion-controlled heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, this self-assembled hydrogel performed a good response to H2O2 and the CL emission images could be recorded by smartphone. The hydrogel could remain excellent lifetime stability for months and the stable, enhanced and glow-type CL emission could improve the reliability and precision of CL detection, which has a promising application in cold light source and H2O2 detection of real biological samples.

Abstract
Facile detection of tumour-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) is crucial to cancer diagnosis. Herein, a facile and label-free electrochemical aptasensor was fabricated to detect tumour-derived EVs based on the target-induced proximity hybridization of split aptamers. In this assay, two designed oligonucleotide probes containing fragments of a protein tyrosine kinase-7 (PTK7) aptamer were used to recognize and capture EVs containing PTK7. In the presence of target EVs, the aptamer-target ternary complex could induce proximity hybridization and form a DNA duplex on the electrode. The DNA duplex could bind more electroactive Ru(NH3)63+ through electrostatic attraction, resulting in an increased cathodic current signal. By virtue of the excellent electrochemical signal reporter RuHex, the specificity of the aptamer and proximity ligation, a facile EV electrochemical aptasensor with a detection limit of 6.607 × 105 particles per mL was realized. Furthermore, this aptasensor showed good selectivity to distinguish different tumour-derived EVs and was applied to detect EVs in complex biological samples. The proposed electrochemical aptasensor can be further extended to the detection of other EVs, thus showing great potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
A low-cost microfluidic microarray capable of lysing cells and quantifying proteins released after lysis was designed and 3D-printed. The array lyses cells on-chip in lysis buffer augmented with a 2s pulse of a sonic cell disruptor. Detection of desmoglein 3 (DSG3), a metastatic biomarker for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), along with two accompanying HNSCC biomarkers from a single cell lysate of oral cancer cell cultures was demonstrated. A lysis chamber and reagent compartments deliver sample and reagents into detection chambers decorated with capture antibodies immobilized onto inner walls coated with a highly swollen 3D chitosan hydrogel film. Sandwich immunoassays are achieved when captured analytes labeled with biotinylated secondary antibodies, which then capture streptavidin-poly [horse radish peroxidase] (Poly-HRP). Subsequent delivery of super-bright femto-luminol with H2O2 generates chemiluminescence captured with a CCD camera. DSG3 is membrane-bound protein in HNSCC cells of invaded lymph nodes, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) were positive controls overexpressed into the HNSCC culture medium. Beta-tubulin (β-Tub) was used as a loading control to estimate the number of cells in analyzed samples. Limits of detection (LOD) were 0.10 fg/mL for DSG3, and 0.20 fg/mL for VEGF-A, VEGF-C and β-Tub. Three orders of magnitude semilogarithmic dynamic ranges were achieved. VEGF-A showed high in-cell expression, but VEGF-C had low levels inside cells. The very low LODs enabled quantifying these proteins released from single cells. Strong correlation between results from on-chip cell lysis, conventional off-line lysis and ELISA confirmed accuracy.

Abstract
Food safety and regulation of consumer welfare are of great concern, so it is necessary to be able to detect pathogenic bacteria quickly and effectively. Although traditional methods of pathogen detection are reliable and widely used, the detection and analysis processes are cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not conducive to fast assays in the field. New detection strategies have emerged in recent years, especially point-of-care testing (POCT) methods, which do not rely on the laboratory and have become an important development direction for pathogen detection. Many visual detection schemes have been developed that integrate portable glucose meters (PGMs), test strips, smartphones, and other portable devices. Importantly, portable and ultrasensitive biosensors have vast promise in detecting pathogens, as they can be suitable tools for clinical diagnosis and the regulation of food safety. This Review focuses on the latest advances in portable device-based methods for visual detection of pathogens, evaluating their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Cancer biomarker quantification in human serum is of great importance for accurate patient diagnosis and informed clinical management. To date, ultrasensitive multiplexed detection of proteins without amplification is still a major challenge. Herein, we proposed a competitive aptasensor strategy for ultrasensitive multiplexed cancer biomarker detection by fluorescent nanoparticle (FNP) counting. The sequences are designed such that the binding abilities of linker DNA (L-DNA) with DNA-functionalized FNPs (DNA-FNPs) and aptamer are comparable. As long as one target binds with one molecule of aptamer, a signalling FNP forms a sandwich-structured nanocomposite, which was subsequently observed and enumerated with a fluorescence microscope. This 1 : 1 target-to-signal FNP production assured an improved sensitivity, benefiting from the reasonably good brightness and photostability of FNPs. For both singleplexed and multiplexed detection, this proposed strategy achieved an approximately 1000-fold improved limit of detection than the conventional method with the detection volume of 3.2 μL. Notably, the results for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection obtained directly from 9 human serum samples (colorectal/lung/healthy individuals) were consistent with that obtained by ELISA, showing potential application in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, a novel two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin metal-organic layer (MOL) based on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) ligand H4ETTC (H4ETTC = 4',4''',4''''',4'''''''-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)tetrakis(([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid))) was developed and used to construct a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for ultrasensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The newly synthesized AIE luminogen (AIEgen)-based MOL (Hf-ETTC-MOL) yielded a higher ECL intensity and efficiency than did H4ETTC monomers, H4ETTC aggregates and 3D bulk Hf-ETTC-MOF. This improvement occurred not only because the ETTC ligands were coordinatively immobilized in a rigid MOL matrix, which restricted the intramolecular free rotation and vibration of these ligands and then reduced the non-radiative transition, but also because the porous ultrathin 2D MOL greatly shortened the transport distances of ions, electrons, coreactant (triethylamine, TEA) and coreactant intermediates (TEA˙ and TEA˙+), which made more ETTC luminophores able to be excited and yielded a high ECL efficiency. On the basis of using the Hf-ETTC-MOL as a novel ECL emitter and rolling circle amplification (RCA) as a signal amplification strategy, the constructed ECL aptasensor exhibited a linear range from 1 fg mL-1 to 1 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.63 fg mL-1. This work has opened up new prospects for developing novel ECL materials and is expected to lead to increased interest in using AIEgen-based MOLs for ECL sensing.

Abstract
Here, we report a double-amplified sensing platform for ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) miRNA detection in real patients' blood in which a hemin-bridged metal-organic framework (MOF) is employed as a functional interface to boost the payload and catalysis of G-quadruplex (G4) DNAzymes. Hemin is here used as the organic ligand for the MOF synthesis, which endows the MOF with an intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity. Most importantly, the MOF surface provides a large amount of binding sites for polymeric G4 DNAzymes that are produced by miRNA-triggered rolling circle amplification reactions, and meanwhile, the interfaced G4 DNAzymes on MOFs (G4/MOFzymes) display an about 100-fold higher catalytic activity than those in solution. By using the G4/MOFzyme catalysts in the luminol/H2O2 CL system, the amplification detection of two acute myocardial infarction (AMI)-related miRNAs (low to 1 fM seen with naked eyes) is achieved in human serum with a smartphone as a portable imaging detector, which provides a facile methodology for point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of AMI. Compared with previous smartphone-based counterparts not requiring sophisticated equipment, this new facile methodology shows both 6 orders of magnitude higher sensitivity and an ∼50-fold longer duration for CL miRNA imaging. These unique features allow our developed G4/MOFzymes to be further employed as a novel luminescent ink for printing commonly used patterns.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), as one of the common tumor markers, is a human glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and is expressed during human fetal development. Since the birth of human, CEA expression is largely inhibited, with only low levels in the plasma of healthy adults. Generally, CEA will overexpressed in many cancers, including gastric, breast, ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancers, especially colorectal cancer. As one of the important tumor markers, the detection of CEA has great significance in differential diagnosis, condition monitoring and therapeutic evaluation of diseases. Conventional CEA testing typically uses immunoassay methods. However, immunoassay methods require complex and expensive instruments and professional personnel to operate. Moreover, radioactive element may cause certain damage to the human body, which limits their wide application. In the past few years, biosensors, especially aptamer-based biosensors, have attracted extensive attention due to their high sensitivity, good selectivity, high accuracy, fast response and low cost. This review briefly classifies and describes the advance in optical and electrochemical aptamer biosensors for CEA detection, also explains and compares their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Effective characterization of protein biomarkers status on the cell surface has important value in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Traditional immunohistochemistry can only assess the protein expression level rather than accurately reflect their interaction and oligomerization, resulting in inevitable problems for personalized therapy. Methods: Herein, we developed a novel DNAzyme-catalyzed tyramide depositing reaction (DCTDR) for in situ amplified imaging of membrane protein status. By using human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) as model, the binding of HER2 proteins with specific aptamers induced the formation of activated hemin/G-quadruplex (G4) DNAzyme on the cell surface to catalyze the covalent deposition of fluorescent tyramide on the membrane proteins for fluorescence imaging. Results: The DCTDR-based imaging can conveniently characterize total HER2 expression and HER2 dimerization on the breast cancer cell surface with the application of aptamer-G4 probes and proximity aptamer-split G4 probes, respectively. The designed DCTDR strategy was successfully applied to quantitatively estimate total HER2 expression and HER2 homodimer on clinical breast cancer tissue sections with high specificity and accuracy. Conclusion: The DCTDR strategy provides a simple, pragmatic and enzyme-free toolbox to conveniently and sensitively analyze protein status in clinical samples for improving clinical research, cancer diagnostics and personalized treatment.

Abstract
In this work, a three-dimensional DNA machine based on the isothermal strand-displacement polymerase reaction (ISDPR) has been constructed. The walking behavior of a DNA walker on the obstructive surface of magnetic beads has also been studied by adding different nucleic acid blocks. The "leg" of the DNA walker could hybridize with a hairpin structure DNA named H1 and lead to the opening of it. And the newly exposed stem would interact with a primer. A strand exchange has happened with the assistance of polymerase and dNTPs, so that the "leg" has been displaced and the DNA walker could be pushed to move on the surface. But the nucleic acid blocks could increase steric hindrance and obstruct this process, which is similar to the behavior of human beings walking on craggy paths. Through changing these blocks, such as the structure, the amount, and the length of blocks, the movement of the DNA walker has been controlled. What's more, the results of its application for DNA detection are satisfactory. The limit of detection is 21.6 pM. Also, this method has been successfully applied in complex biological samples.

Abstract
In this study, two kinds of sensitive biosensors based on a multipedal DNA walker along a three-dimensional DNA functional magnet particles track for the chemiluminescent detection of streptavidin (SA) are constructed and compared. In the presence of SA, a multipedal DNA walker was constructed by a biotin-modified catalyst as a result of the terminal protection to avoid being digested by exonuclease I. Then, through a toehold-mediated strand exchange, a "leg" of a multipedal DNA walker interacted with a toehold of a catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA)-H1 coupled with magnetic microparticles (MMPs) and opened its hairpin structure. The newly open stem in CHA-H1 was hybridized with a toehold of biotin-labeled H2. Via the strand displacement process, H2 displaced one "leg" of a multipedal DNA walker, and the other "leg" continued to interact with the neighboring H1 to initiate the next cycle. In order to solve the high background caused by the hybridization between CHA-H1 and H2 without a CHA-catalyst, the other model was designed. The principle of the other model (isothermal strand-displacement polymerase reaction (ISDPR)-DNA walker) was similar to that of the above one. After the terminal protection of SA, a "leg" of a multipedal DNA walker was triggered to open the hairpin of the ISDPR-H1 conjugated with MMPs. Then, the biotin-modified primer hybridized with the newly exposed DNA segment, triggering the polymerization reaction with the assistance of dNTPs/polymerase. As for the extension of the primer, the "leg" of a multipedal DNA walker was displaced so that the other "leg" could trigger the proximal H1 to go onto the next cycle. Due to its lower background and stronger signal, a multipedal DNA walker based on an ISDPR had a lower limit of detection for SA. The limit of detection for SA was 6.5 pM, and for expanding the application of the method, the detections of the folate receptor and thrombin were explored. In addition, these DNA walker methods were applied in complex samples successfully.

Abstract
In this study, a colorimetric method for sequence-specific recognition of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was established on the surface of a silver-coated glass slide. Oligo-1 was assembled on the surface of a silver-coated glass slide through an Ag–S bond, and Oligo-2 as reporter was used to bind with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (SA–HRP). They could bind with target dsDNA that was composed of Oligo-3 and Oligo-4 on the surface of a silver-coated glass slide through triplex formation. The bound HRP could be moved into the solution by DNase I and catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Therefore, the concentration of target dsDNA could be determined with the colour change of TMB. Under the optimum conditions, the absorbance was proportional to the concentration of target dsDNA over the range of 100 pmol/L to 2.0 nmol/L, with a detection limit of 13 pmol/L. In addition, this method showed good sequence selectivity, enabling it to be further developed for the detection of other polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products.

Abstract
As a new class of organic optical nanomaterials, semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) have the advantages of excellent optical properties, high photostability, facile surface functionalization, and are considered to possess good biocompatibility for biomedical applications. This review surveys recent progress made on the design and synthesis of SPNs for molecular imaging and cancer phototherapy. A variety of novel polymer design, chemical modification and nanoengineering strategies have been developed to precisely tune up optoelectronic properties of SPNs to enable fluorescence, chemiluminescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging in living animals. With these imaging modalities, SPNs have been demonstrated not only to image tissues such as lymph nodes, vascular structure and tumors, but also to detect disease biomarkers such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein sulfenic acid as well as physiological indexes such as pH and blood glucose concentration. The potentials of SPNs in cancer phototherapy including photodynamic and photothermal therapy are also highlighted with recent examples. Future efforts should further expand the use of SPNs in biomedical research and may even move them beyond pre-clinical studies.

Abstract
A synthetic DNA machine performs quasi-mechanical movements in response to external intervention, suggesting the promise of constructing sensitive and specific biosensors. Herein, a smart DNA walker biosensor for label-free detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is developed for the first time by a novel cascade amplification strategy of exonuclease (Exo) III-assisted target recycling amplification (ERA) and DNA walker. ERA as the first stage of amplification generates the walker DNA, while the autonomous traveling of the walker DNA on the substrate-modified silica microspheres as the second stage of amplification produces an ultrasensitive fluorescent signal with the help of N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM). The DNA machine as a biosensor could be applied for transducing and quantifying signals from isothermal molecular amplifications, avoiding the complicated reporter elements and thermal cycling. The present biosensor achieves a detection limit of 1.2 pg·mL-1 within a linear range of 10 pg·mL-1 to 100 ng·mL-1 for CEA, along with a favorable specificity. The practical applicability of the biosensor is demonstrated by the detection of CEA in human serum with satisfactory results; thus, it shows great potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
In this study, we fabricated a novel electrochemical biosensing platform on the basis of target-triggered proximity hybridization-mediated isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) for ultrasensitive protein analysis. Through rational design, the aptamers for protein recognition were integrated within two DNA probes. Via proximity hybridization principle, the affinity protein-binding event was converted into DNA assembly process. The recognition of protein by aptamers can trigger the strand displacement through the increase of the local concentrations of the involved probes. As a consequence, the output DNA was displaced, which can hybridize with the duplex probes immobilized on the electrode surface subsequently, leading to the initiation of the EXPAR as well as the cleavage of duplex probes. Each cleavage will release the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) binding sequence. With the modification of G-quadruplex sequence, electrochemical signals were yielded by the AuNPs through oxidizing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of H2O2. The study we proposed exhibited high sensitivity toward platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) with the detection limit of 52 fM. And, this method also showed great selectivity among the PDGF isoforms and performed well in spiked human serum samples.

Abstract
G-quadruplex DNAzymes that exhibited peroxidase-like activity have been shown to be appealing reporters for amplified readout of biosensing events simply by their formation or dissociation in the presence of analytes. For low background signaling, the efficient preblock of DNAzymes is critically important. Herein, we report a both-end blocked DNAzyme beacon strategy for chemiluminescent biosensing. The catalytic activity of peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme can be inactivated fully by fixing both ends of the DNAzyme sequence, and easily recovered via a strand displace reaction between the miRNA and the block DNA. The efficient block and recovery of DNAzymes provide the both-end blocked beacon the highest signal-to-background ratio (over 25) among the reported DNAzymes for amplification-free detection of miRNA. As a result, the beacon allowed detection of subpicomolar miRNA without any labeling and amplification procedures, which is about 40-fold more sensitive than the traditional hairpin fluorescence beacon. Also, it exhibited excellent discrimination ability that can distinguish single-base mismatch miRNA. The simplicity, high sensitivity, and selectivity provided by the beacon make it a promising alternative tool for nucleic acid detection.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) biosensor for the detection of protein is developed in this study based on the functionalized magnetic microparticles (MMPs) and the hybridization chain reaction (HCR). First, the primer hybridized with the thrombin aptamer conjugated on the surface of MMPs. Then the HCR was triggered by part of the primer and its products were assembled on the surface of the MMPs. Through the interaction between streptavidin and biotin, the streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (SA-HRP) was coupled with the HCR products. In the presence of thrombin, the HCR products conjugating with SA-HRP were released from the surface of MMPs after the aptamer recognized and bound to its target molecule. So the released SA-HRP in the supernatant produced a significant chemiluminescence imaging signal after the addition of H2O2-luminol. The detection limit of thrombin with this method could be as low as 9.7fM. Besides, the sensing strategy was modified by changing the adding order of reagents that was then successfully applied in the detection of thrombin in complex sample. What's more, the DNA detection also could be carried out with this method, which demonstrated the universality of the proposed sensing strategy.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide variation (SNV) is a crucial biomarker for drug resistance-related detection in cancer and bacterial infection. However, the unintended binding of DNA probes limits the specificity of SNV detection, and the need for redesigned sequences compromise the universality of SNV assay. Herein, we demonstrated a universal and low-cost assay for the colorimetric discrimination of drug-resistance related point mutation. By the use of a universal DNA probe and a split G-quadruplex, the signal could be recognized by naked eye at room temperature. The DNA probe was used as a signal reporter which not only improved the universality, but also enabled high specificity of probe hybridization. This assay was successfully applied in the detection of cancer-related SNV in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS), and tuberculosis drug-resistance related point mutation in RNA polymerase beta subunit gene (rpoB) with high specificity and visible readout. This method was simple, rapid, high-throughput and effective, which was suitable for point-of-care applications.
