Abstract
Infectious diseases have threatened human life for as long as humankind has existed. One of the most crucial aspects of fighting against these infections is diagnosis to prevent disease spread. However, traditional diagnostic methods prove insufficient and time-consuming in the face of a pandemic. Therefore, studies focusing on detecting viruses causing these diseases have increased, with a particular emphasis on developing rapid, accurate, specific, user-friendly, and portable electrochemical biosensor systems. Peptides are used integral components in biosensor fabrication for several reasons, including various and adaptable synthesis protocols, long-term stability, and specificity. Here, we discuss peptide-based electrochemical biosensor systems that have been developed over the last decade for the detection of infectious diseases. In contrast to other reports on peptide-based biosensors, we have emphasized the following points i) the synthesis methods of peptides for biosensor applications, ii) biosensor fabrication approaches of peptide-based electrochemical biosensor systems, iii) the comparison of electrochemical biosensors with other peptide-based biosensor systems and the advantages and limitations of electrochemical biosensors, iv) the pros and cons of peptides compared to other biorecognition molecules in the detection of infectious diseases, v) different perspectives for future studies with the shortcomings of the systems developed in the past decade.

Reagent-free anti-fouling electrochemical immunosensor based on AL-BSA/AuNPs/PANI coating for the point-of-care detection of C-reactive protein in plasma and whole blood. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 264:116667. [PMID: 39146772 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116667] [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: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
Developing the portable CRP detection technologies that are suitable for point-of-care (POC) and primary care management is of utmost importance, and advancing the electrochemical immunosensors hold promise for POC implementation. Nevertheless, non-specific adsorption of numerous interfering proteins in complex biological media contaminates immunosensors, thereby restricting the reliability in detection efficacy. In this study, a three-dimensional flower-leaf shape amyloid bovine serum albumin/gold nanoparticles/polyaniline (AL-BSA/AuNPs/PANI) coating on the surface of the electrode was developed, which demonstrated strong anti-adsorption properties against bovine serum albumin, plasma, and cells. The immunosensor exhibited a good linear relationship to CRP response, featuring a detection limit of 0.09 μg/mL, consistent with clinical reference range. In addition, the CRP immunosensor demonstrated excellent specificity in other inflammation-related proteins and commendable anti-interference performance for CRP detection in plasma and whole blood tests. Importantly, by combining the development of a USB flash disk-type portable electrochemical workstation with a reagent-free mode, the developed CRP electrochemical immunosensor delivered ideal results in clinical samples. The anti-fouling performance, sensitivity and specificity of the immunosensor, as well as its flexible test modes in clinical samples, provide important scientific basis for developing POC detection technologies of vital biomarkers in complex biological media.

Abstract
The fast spread and severe consequences of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have once again underscored the critical necessity of early detection of viral infections. Several serology-based techniques, including as point-of-care assays and high-throughput enzyme immunoassays that support the diagnosis of COVID-19 are utilized in the detection and identification of coronaviruses. A rapid, precise, simple, affordable, and adaptable diagnostic tool is required for controlling COVID-19 as well as for outbreak management, since the calculation and monitoring of viral loads are crucial for predicting the infection stage and recovery time. Nowadays, the most popular method for diagnosing COVID-19 is reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, and chest computed tomography (CT) scans are also used to determine the disease's phases. This is all because of the fact that RT-PCR method caries with itself a number of downsides comprising of being immovable, expensive, and laborious. RT-PCR has not well proven to be capable of detection on the very early infection stages. Nanomaterial-based diagnostics, together with traditional clinical procedures, have a lot of promise against COVID-19. It is worthy of attention that nanotechnology has the mainstay capacity for purposes of developing even more modern stratagems fighting COVID-19 by means of focusing on state-of-the-art diagnostics. What we have centered on in this review, is bringing out even more efficient detection techniques whereby nanobiosensors are employed so that we might obstruct any further development and spreading of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
A cortisol biosensor was developed based on double-conducting polymer nanowires, which exhibits excellent conductivity, resistance to biological contamination, and outstanding sensing performance. The biosensor employs dual-mode electrochemical techniques, namely, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CA), for the sensitive and low fouling detection of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol. Experimental results demonstrated that the linear detection range of the biosensor in DPV mode was 1.0 × 10-14-1.0 × 10-8 M, with a detection limit of 0.131 × 10-14 M. In CA mode, the biosensor exhibited a detection range of 1.0 × 10-13-1.0 × 10-7 M and a detection limit of 0.313 × 10-13 M. The biosensor was successfully utilized for the rapid detection of cortisol in human saliva. The combination of a high-specificity cortisol aptamer and functionalized double-conducting polymer nanowires ensured the exceptional specificity and sensitivity of the biosensor in detecting real biological samples.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of the causative agent of a disease is of great importance in controlling the spread of the disease. This work developed a biosensor with the Bi2Te3 family of topological insulators for detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virulence factor. The Bi2Te3 family is a three-dimensional topological insulator material with topologically protected surface states; the presence of these surface states facilitates charge transfer between the electrode and electrolyte interface. Compared with the detection performance of Bi2Se3, BiSbTeSe2, and a trivial insulator like Sb2Se3, Bi2Te3 exhibits superior characteristics. A Bi2Te3 electrochemical detection platform is utilized to fabricate a sensor that can detect SARS-CoV-2 DNA, RNA, and antigen for label-free target detection. The concentration range of DNA detection by the biosensor using Bi2Te3 is between 1.0 × 10-15 and 1.0 × 10-10 M, and the detection limit can reach 1.41 × 10-16 M. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent selectivity and maintains good stability even after being stored for 14 days. This study provides a new way to apply topological insulator materials in the field of biosensors and use their unique electronic structure to improve the accuracy and speed of disease detection and diagnosis.

Abstract
In electrochemical analysis, developing biosensors that can resist the nonspecific adsorption of interfering biomolecules in human serum remains a huge challenge, which depends on the design of efficient antifouling materials. Herein, 3-aminopropyldimethylamine oxide (APDMAO) biomimetic zwitterions were prepared as antifouling interfaces. Among them, the unique positive and negative charges (N+-O-) of APDMAO promoted its hydrogen bonding with water molecules, forming a firm hydration barrier that endowed it with strong and stable antifouling performance. Meanwhile, its inherent amino groups could copolymerize with the biomimetic adhesive dopamine to form a thin layer of quinone intermediates, providing conditions for the subsequent binding of aptamers and signal probes. Importantly, the biomimetic APDMAO with functional groups and one-step oxidation characteristics solved the challenges of zwitterionic synthesis and modification, as well as improved biocompatibility of the sensing interface, thereby expanding the application potential of zwitterions as antifouling materials in sensing analysis. Thiol-containing alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) aptamers modified with methylene blue (MB) were coupled under controllable potential, greatly reducing the incubation time, which promoted the productization application of biosensors. In addition, the ratio sensing strategy using MB as internal standard factors and concanavalin-silver nanoparticles (ConA-Ag NPs) as signal probes was introduced to reduce background and instrument interferences, thus improving detection accuracy. On this basis, the proposed antifouling electrochemical biosensor achieved sensitive and accurate AFP detection over a wide dynamic range (10 fg/mL-10 ng/mL), with a low detection limit of 3.41 fg/mL (3σ/m). This work provides positive insights into the development of zwitterionic antifouling materials and clinical detection of liver cancer markers in human serum.

Abstract
Nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules (notably, proteins) and bacteria from unsterilized food may occur on sensor surfaces, which is still a challenge for food safety sensing. To achieve sensitive detection of unsterilized raw-food materials, in this study, a U-shaped four-in-one peptide with the sequence Ac-FLKLLKKLL-DOPA3-PPPPEEKDQDKEKaa that exhibited anchoring, antifouling, antibacterial, and recognition properties was designed. The peptide-modified sensor surface effectively prevented bacterial adhesion and proliferation while resisting biomolecule adsorption (signal inhibition rate as low as 0.51 % in single-protein solutions). A highly conductive polymer layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) was introduced to improve the electrochemical performance before U-shaped four-in-one peptide anchoring. The proposed sensor could accurately detect vancomycin, with a wide linear range and limit of detection of 0.05-10 μg mL-1 and 2.06 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3), respectively. Satisfactory recovery rates (101.3-105.3 %) were achieved using diluted fresh goat milk.

Abstract
The monitoring of heavy metal ions in ocean is crucial for environment protection and assessment of seawater quality. However, the detection of heavy metal ions in seawater with electrochemical sensors, especially for long-term monitoring, always faces challenges due to marine biofouling caused by the nonspecific adsorption of microbial and biomolecules. Herein, an electrochemical aptasensor, integrating both antifouling and antibacterial properties, was developed for the detection of Hg2+ in the ocean. In this electrochemical aptasensor, eco-friendly peptides with superior hydrophilicity served as anti-biofouling materials, preventing nonspecific adsorption on the sensing interface, while silver nanoparticles were employed to eliminate bacteria. Subsequently, a ferrocene-modified aptamer was employed for the specific recognition of Hg2+, leveraging the aptamer's ability to fold into a thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) structure upon interaction, and bringing ferrocene nearer to the sensor surface, significantly amplifying the electrochemical response. The prepared electrochemical aptasensor significantly reduced the nonspecific adsorption in seawater while maintaining sensitive electrochemical response. Furthermore, the biosensor exhibited a linear response range of 0.01-100 nM with a detection limit of 2.30 pM, and realized the accurate monitoring of mercury ions in real marine environment. The research results offer new insights into the preparation of marine antifouling sensing devices, and it is expected that sensors with antifouling and antimicrobial capabilities will find broad applications in the monitoring of marine pollutants.

Abstract
Early detection of the coronavirus is acknowledged as a crucial measure to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, facilitating timely isolation of infected individuals, and disrupting the transmission chain. In this study, we leveraged the properties of synthesized Ag-MOF, including high porosity and increased flow intensity. Electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were employed to develop an economical and portable sensor with exceptional selectivity for COVID-19 detection. The methodology involves the deposition of Ag-MOF onto the surface of a Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE), which resulted in a progressive augmentation of electric current. Subsequently, the targeted antibodies were applied, and relevant tests were conducted. The sensor demonstrated the capacity to detect the virus within a linear range of 100 fM to 10 nM, boasting a noteworthy Limit of Detection (LOD) of 60 fM. The entire detection process could be completed in a brief duration of 20 min, exhibiting high levels of accuracy and precision, outperforming comparable techniques in terms of speed and efficacy.

Cutting-edge biorecognition strategies to boost the detection performance of COVID-19 electrochemical biosensors: A review. Bioelectrochemistry 2024; 157:108632. [PMID: 38181592 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108632] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are known for their high sensitivity, selectivity, and low cost. Recently, they have gained significant attention and became particularly important as promising tools for the detection of COVID-19 biomarkers, since they offer a rapid and accurate means of diagnosis. Biorecognition strategies are a crucial component of electrochemical biosensors and determine their specificity and sensitivity based on the interaction of biological molecules, such as antibodies, enzymes, and DNA, with target analytes (e.g., viral particles, proteins and genetic material) to create a measurable signal. Different biorecognition strategies have been developed to enhance the performance of electrochemical biosensors, including direct, competitive, and sandwich binding, alongside nucleic acid hybridization mechanisms and gene editing systems. In this review article, we present the different strategies used in electrochemical biosensors to target SARS-CoV-2 and other COVID-19 biomarkers, as well as explore the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy and highlight recent progress in this field. Additionally, we discuss the challenges associated with developing electrochemical biosensors for clinical COVID-19 diagnosis and their widespread commercialization.

Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) represent highly ordered molecular materials with versatile biochemical features and multidisciplinary applications. Research on SAMs has made much progress since the early begginings of Au substrates and alkanethiols, and numerous examples of peptide-displaying SAMs can be found in the literature. Peptides, presenting increasing structural complexity, stimuli-responsiveness, and biological relevance, represent versatile functional components in SAMs-based platforms. This review examines the major findings and progress made on the use of peptide building blocks displayed as part of SAMs with specific functions, such as selective cell adhesion, migration and differentiation, biomolecular binding, advanced biosensing, molecular electronics, antimicrobial, osteointegrative and antifouling surfaces, among others. Peptide selection and design, functionalisation strategies, as well as structural and functional characteristics from selected examples are discussed. Additionally, advanced fabrication methods for dynamic peptide spatiotemporal presentation are presented, as well as a number of characterisation techniques. All together, these features and approaches enable the preparation and use of increasingly complex peptide-based SAMs to mimic and study biological processes, and provide convergent platforms for high throughput screening discovery and validation of promising therapeutics and technologies.

Abstract
This short review presents the latest advances in the field of electrochemical biosensors, focusing particularly on impedimetric biosensors for the direct measurement of analytes. As a source of study we have chosen to describe these advances in the latest global health crisis originated from the COVID-19 pandemic, initiated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In this period, the necessity for swift and precise detection methods has grown rapidly due to an imminent need for the development of an analytical method to identify and isolate infected patients as an attempt to control the spreading of the disease. Traditional approaches such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were extensively used during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, but their drawbacks, including slow response time, became evident. In this context, the potential of electrochemical biosensors as an alternative for COVID-19 detection was emphasized. These biosensors merge electrochemical technology with bioreceptors, offering benefits such as rapidity, accuracy, portability, and real-time result provision. Additionally, we present instances of electrochemical biosensors modified with conductive polymers, eliminating the necessity for an electrochemical probe. The adaptability of the developed materials and devices facilitated the prompt production of electrochemical biosensors during the pandemic, creating opportunities for broader applications in infectious disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Peptides with distinct physiochemical properties and biocompatibility hold significant promise across diverse domains including antifouling biosensors. However, the stability of natural antifouling peptides in physiological conditions poses significant challenges to their viability for sustained practical applications. Herein, a unique antifouling peptide FFFGGGEKEKEKEK was designed and self-assembled to form peptide nanoparticles (PNPs), which possessed enhanced stability against enzymatic hydrolysis in biological fluids. The PNP-coated interfaces exhibited superior stability and antifouling properties in preventing adsorption of nonspecific materials, such as proteins and cells in biological samples. Moreover, a highly sensitive and ultralow fouling electrochemical biosensor was developed through the immobilization of the PNPs and specific aptamers onto the polyaniline nanowire-modified electrode, achieving the biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen detection in complex biofluids with reliable accuracy. This research not only addresses the challenge of the poor proteolytic resistance observed in natural peptides but also introduces a universal strategy for constructing ultralow fouling sensing devices.

Abstract
Surface fouling poses a significant challenge that restricts the analytical performance of electrochemical sensors in both in vitro and in vivo applications. Biofouling resistance is paramount to guarantee the reliable operation of electrochemical sensors in complex biofluids (e.g., blood, serum, and urine). Seeking efficient strategies for surface fouling and establishing highly sensitive sensing platforms for applications in complex media have received increasing attention in the past. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent research efforts focused on antifouling electrochemical sensors. Initially, we present a detailed illustration of the concept about biofouling along with an exploration of four key antifouling mechanisms. Subsequently, we delve into the commonly employed antifouling strategies in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors. These encompass physical surface topography (micro/nanostructure coatings and filtration membranes) and chemical surface modifications (PEG and its derivatives, zwitterionic polymers, peptides, proteins, and various other antifouling materials). The progress in antifouling electrochemical sensors is proposed concerning the antifouling mechanisms as well as sensing capability assessments (e.g., sensitivity, stability, and practical application ability). Finally, we summarize the evolving trends in the field and highlight some key remaining limitations.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic reflects the underdevelopment of point-of-care diagnostic technology. Nuclei acid (NA) detection is the "gold standard" method for the early diagnosis of the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus disease-2. Polymerase chain reaction is the main method for NA detection but requires considerable manpower and sample processing taking ≥ 3 h. To simplify the operation processes and reduce the detection time, exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided MoS2 /AIE nanoprobes were developed for rapid and sensitive detection of the oligonucleotides of Omicron. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanosheets with excellent optical absorbance and distinguishable affinity to single-strand and duplex DNAs were applied as quenchers, and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules with high luminous efficiency were designed as donor in fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based nanoprobes. Exo III with catalytic capability was used for signal amplification to increase the sensitivity of detection. The composite nanoprobes detected the mutated nucleocapsid (N)-gene and spike (S)-gene oligonucleotides of Omicron within 40 min with a limit of detection of 4.7 pM, and showed great potential for application in community medicine.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a condition where there is not enough oxygen in body tissues due to an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption for cellular functions. In order to comprehend the biological functions of HClO within cells, the development of an effective and selective detection method is of great crucial. In this paper, a near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent probe (YQ-1) for detecting HClO was exploited based on a benzothiazole derivative. YQ-1's fluorescence shifted from red to green with a large blue shift (165 nm) in the presence of HClO, and the solution's color changed from pink to yellow. YQ-1 quickly detected HClO (within 40 s) with a low detection limit (4.47 × 10-7 mol/L) and was not affected by other interferences. The mechanism of YQ-1's response to HClO was confirmed by HRMS, 1H NMR and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, due to its low toxicity, YQ-1 successfully utilized for fluorescence imaging for HClO both endogenous and exogenous in cells.

Abstract
The sensitivity and accuracy of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors for detecting small-molecule pollutants in environmental water are affected not only by nonspecific adsorption of proteins and other molecules but also by bacterial interference. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an ECL sensor with antifouling and antibacterial functions for water environment monitoring. Herein, a highly efficient antifouling sensing interface (PSBMA@SiO2-MXene) based on zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) antifouling nanospheres (NPs) and two-dimensional MXene nanosheets was designed for the sensitive detection of oxytetracycline (OTC), an antibiotic small-molecule pollutant. Specifically, SBMA with good hydrophilicity and electrical neutrality was connected to SiO2 NPs, thus effectively reducing protein and bacterial adsorption and improving stability. Second, MXene with a high specific surface area was selected as the carrier to load more antifouling NPs, which greatly improves the antifouling performance. Meanwhile, the introduction of MXene also enhances the conductivity of the antifouling interface. In addition, a ratio-based sensing strategy was designed to further improve the detection accuracy and sensitivity of the sensor by utilizing Au@luminol as an internal standard factor. Based on antifouling and antibacterial interfaces, as well as internal standard and ratiometric sensing strategies, the detection range of the proposed sensor was 0.1 ng/mL to 100 μg/mL, with a detection limit of 0.023 ng/mL, achieving trace dynamic monitoring of antibiotics in complex aqueous media.

Abstract
The pandemic outbreak caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus brought a crucial issue in public health causing up to now more than 600 million infected people and 6.5 million deaths. Conventional diagnostic methods are based on quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR assay) and immuno-detection (ELISA assay). However, despite these techniques have the advantages of being standardized and consolidated, they keep some main limitations in terms of accuracy (immunoassays), time/cost consumption of analysis, the need for qualified personnel, and lab constrain (molecular assays). There is crucial the need to develop new diagnostic approaches for accurate, fast and portable viral detection and quantification. Among these, PCR-free biosensors represent the most appealing solution since they can allow molecular detection without the complexity of the PCR. This will enable the possibility to be integrated in portable and low-cost systems for massive and decentralized screening of SARS-CoV-2 in a point-of-care (PoC) format, pointing to achieve a performant identification and control of infection. In this review, the most recent approaches for the SARS-CoV-2 PCR-free detection are reported, describing both the instrumental and methodological features, and highlighting their suitability for a PoC application.

Abstract
As a tumor biomarker, the accumulation of amyloid β oligomers (Aβo) in the brain has been suggested as a key feature in the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, we designed a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) and electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) dual-mode biosensor to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of Aβo. Specifically, the electrode surface modified Carbon Dots (C Dots) and the electrodeposited polyaniline (PANI) film formed a Z-scheme heterojunction reversing the photocurrent signal, and then the Aβo specific recognition peptide was attached to the surface via amide bonding between the amino group of PANI and carbonyl group of peptide. After that, in the presence of CdTe labeled specific recognition aptamer for Aβ (CdTe-Apt), Aβo was captured to construct a sandwich-type biosensor and exhibited a significantly enhanced cathodic photocurrent response because the formed dual Z-scheme heterojunction promoted charge separation efficiency. Interestingly, the proposed biosensor also caused a ratiometric change in the ECL intensity at 555 nm and 640 nm. Therefore, the developed biosensor achieved dual-mode detection of Aβo, where the PEC detection range of Aβo was from 10 fM to 0.1 μM (with a detection limit of 4.27 fM) and the ECL method provided a linear detection range of 10 fM to 10 nM (with a detection limit of 6.41 fM). The stability and reliability of the experimental results indicate that this has been a promising biosensing pattern and could be extended to the analysis of other biomarkers.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been considered as a promising treatment in the biomedical field because of low toxicity to normal tissues and minor trauma area. However, the PDT effect of materials is greatly affected by many factors, such as nonspecific adsorption and poor light penetration, etc. In this work, an intelligent nano platform has been constructed based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) loaded with a large amount of photosensitizers Ce6, which could specifically light up tumor tissues and stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, exhibiting a conspicuous imaging and therapeutic effect of PDT treatment for deep tumors. An excellent anti-fouling performance in complex biological substrate was obtained upon the judicious introduction of anti-fouling peptide, which also contributed to the improved PDT efficiency. In addition, the specificity of nanoplatform to malignant breast cancer cells was realized by modification of polypeptide targeting for HER2. This anti-fouling nanoplatform provided an original paradigm for the development of fluorescence imaging and PDT for deep tumor tissue with high targeting and therapeutic efficacy, promising to be used in the early therapy of malignant breast cancer specifically.

Abstract
Surface biofouling induced by the undesired nonspecific adsorption of foulants (e.g., coexisting proteins and cells) in food matrices is a major issue of sensors for food analysis, hindering their reliability and accuracy of sensing. This issue can be addressed by developing antifouling strategies to prevent or alleviate nonspecific binding. Chemical antifouling strategies involve the use of chemical modifiers (i.e., antifouling materials) to strongly hydrate the surface and reduce surface biofouling. Through appropriate immobilization approaches, antifouling materials can be tethered onto sensors to form antifouling surfaces with well-ordered structures, balanced surface charges, and appropriate surface density and thickness. A rational antifouling surface can reduce the matrix effect, simplify sample pretreatment, and improve analytical performance. This review summarizes recent developments in chemical antifouling strategies in sensing. Surface antifouling mechanisms and common antifouling materials are described, and factors that may influence the antifouling effects of antifouling surfaces and approaches incorporating antifouling materials onto sensing surfaces are highlighted. Moreover, the specific applications of antifouling sensors in food analysis are introduced. Finally, we provide an outlook on future developments in antifouling sensors for food analysis.

Abstract
Since the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 (2019), the need for early diagnostic techniques to control this pandemic has been highlighted. Diagnostic methods based on virus replication, such as RT-PCR, are exceedingly time-consuming and expensive. As a result, a rapid and accurate electrochemical test which is both available and cost-effective was designed in this study. MXene nanosheets (Ti3C2Tx) and carbon platinum (Pt/C) were employed to amplify the signal of this biosensor upon hybridization reaction of the DNA probe and the virus's specific oligonucleotide target in the RdRp gene region. By the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique, the calibration curve was obtained for the target with varying concentrations ranging from 1 aM to 100 nM. Due to the increase in the concentration of the oligonucleotide target, the signal of DPV increased with a positive slope and a correlation coefficient of 0.9977. Therefore, at least a limit of detection (LOD) was obtained 0.4 aM. Furthermore, the specificity and sensitivity of the sensors were evaluated with 192 clinical samples with positive and negative RT-PCR tests, which revealed 100% accuracy and sensitivity, 97.87% specificity and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 60 copies/mL. Besides, various matrices such as saliva, nasopharyngeal swabs, and serum were assessed for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection by the developed biosensor, indicating that this biosensor has the potential to be used for rapid Covid-19 test detection.

Abstract
Multiplexed gene assay for simultaneously detecting the multi-targets of nucleic acids is strongly anticipated for the accurate diseases diagnosis and prediction, and all commercial available gene assays for IVD are a kind of single-target assay. Herein, a dual-potential encoded and coreactant-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) strategy is proposed for the multiplexed gene assay, which can be conveniently carried out by directly oxidizing the same luminescent tag of dual-stabilizers-capped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs). The CdTe NCs linked with sulfhydryl-RNA via Cd-S bond merely exhibits one ECL process around 0.32 V with a narrow triggering-potential-window of 0.35 V, while CdTe NCs linked with amino-RNA via amide linkage solely gives off one ECL process around 0.82 V with a narrow triggering-potential-window of 0.30 V. Multiplexing ECL of both sulfhydryl-RNA-functionalized CdTe NCs and amino-RNA-functionalized CdTe NCs can be utilized to simultaneously detect the open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) and the nucleoprotein (N) genes without crosstalk, in which ECL of sulfhydryl-RNA-functionalized CdTe NCs can dynamically determine ORF1ab from 200 aM to 10 fM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 100 aM, while ECL of amino-RNA-functionalized CdTe NCs can linearly detect N gene from 5 fM to 1 pM with a LOD of 2 fM. Post-engineering CdTe NCs with RNA in a labeling-bond engineering way would provide a potential-selective and encoded ECL strategy for multiplexed gene assay with one luminophore.

Abstract
Fast and effective diagnosis is the first step in monitoring the current coronavirus 2 (CoV-2) pandemic. Herein, we establish a simple and sensitive electrochemical assay using magnetic nanocomposite and DNA sandwich probes to rapidly quantify the CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) gene down to the 0.37 fM level. This assay uses a pair of specific DNA probes. The capture probe is covalently conjugated to Au-decorated magnetic reduced graphene oxide (AMrGO) nanocomposite for efficiently capturing target RNA. In contrast, the detection probe is linked to peroxidase for signal amplification. The probes target the COV-2 gene, allowing for specific magnetic separation, enzymatic signal amplification, and subsequent generation of voltammetric current with a total assay time of 45 min. The developed biosensor has high selectivity and can discriminate non-specific gene sequences. Synthetic COV-2 N-gene can be detected efficiently in serum and saliva, while 1-bp mismatch gene yielded a low response. The performance of the genosensor was good in an extensive linear range of 5 aM-50 pM. For synthetic N-gene, we achieved the detection limit of 0.37, 0.33, and 0.19 fM in human saliva, urine, and serum. This simple, selective, and sensitive genosensor could have various genetics-based biosensing and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
COVID-19, a highly contagious viral infection caused by the occurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), has turned out to be a viral pandemic then ravaged many countries worldwide. In the recent years, point-of-care (POC) biosensors combined with state-of-the-art bioreceptors, and transducing systems enabled the development of novel diagnostic tools for rapid and reliable detection of biomarkers associated with SARS-CoV-2. The present review thoroughly summarises and discusses various biosensing strategies developed for probing SARS-CoV-2 molecular architectures (viral genome, S Protein, M protein, E protein, N protein and non-structural proteins) and antibodies as a potential diagnostic tool for COVID-19. This review discusses the various structural components of SARS-CoV-2, their binding regions and the bioreceptors used for recognizing the structural components. The various types of clinical specimens investigated for rapid and POC detection of SARS-CoV-2 is also highlighted. The importance of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in improving the biosensor performance for real-time and reagent-free monitoring the biomarkers of SARS-CoV-2 is also summarized. This review also encompasses existing practical challenges and prospects for developing new POC biosensors for clinical monitoring of COVID-19.

Abstract
This study proposed a CRISPR/Cas13a-powered electrochemical multiplexed biosensor for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA strands. Current SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic methods, such as reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), are primarily based on nucleic acid amplification (NAA) and reverse transcription (RT) processes, which have been linked to significant issues such as cross-contamination and long turnaround times. Using a CRISPR/Cas13a system integrated onto an electrochemical biosensor, we present a multiplexed and NAA-free strategy for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA fragments. SARS-CoV-2 S and Orf1ab genes were detected in both synthetic and clinical samples. The CRISPR/Cas13a-powered biosensor achieved low detection limits of 2.5 and 4.5 ag/µL for the S and Orf1ab genes, respectively, successfully meeting the sensitivity requirement. Furthermore, the biosensor's specificity, simplicity, and universality may position it as a potential rival to RT-PCR.

Abstract
Rapid transmission and high mortality rates caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus showed that the best way to fight against the pandemic was through rapid, accurate diagnosis in parallel with vaccination. In this context, several research groups around the world have endeavored to develop new diagnostic methods due to the disadvantages of the gold standard method, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), in terms of cost and time consumption. Electrochemical and bioelectrochemical platforms have been important tools for overcoming the limitations of conventional diagnostic platforms, including accuracy, accessibility, portability, and response time. In this review, we report on several electrochemical sensors and biosensors developed for SARS-CoV-2 detection, presenting the concepts, fabrication, advantages, and disadvantages of the different approaches. The focus is devoted to highlighting the recent progress of electrochemical devices developed as next-generation field-deployable analytical tools as well as guiding future researchers in the manufacture of devices for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic, with its numerous variants including Omicron which is 50-70% more transmissible than the previously dominant Delta variant, demands a fast, robust, cheap, and easily deployed identification strategy to reduce the chain of transmission, for which biosensors have been shown as a feasible solution at the laboratory scale. The use of nanomaterials has significantly enhanced the performance of biosensors, and the addition of CNTs has increased detection capabilities to an unrivaled level. Among the various CNT-based detection systems, CNT-based field-effect transistors possess ultra-sensitivity and low-noise detection capacity, allowing for immediate analyte determination even in the presence of limited analyte concentrations, which would be typical of early infection stages. Recently, CNT field-effect transistor-type biosensors have been successfully used in the fast diagnosis of COVID-19, which has increased research and commercial interest in exploiting current developments of CNT field-effect transistors. Recent progress in the design and deployment of CNT-based biosensors for viral monitoring are covered in this paper, as are the remaining obstacles and prospects. This work also highlights the enormous potential for synergistic effects of CNTs used in combination with other nanomaterials for viral detection.

Abstract
Constructing antifouling coatings for biosensing interfaces is a major hurdle in driving their practical application. Inspired by the excellent antifouling properties of natural cell membranes, a conductive biomimetic antifouling interface coating is proposed, which highly mimics the excellent antifouling properties of biofilms while overcoming the low conductivity defects of conventional coatings. Polyethylene glycol-Au gel is selected as the support structure and electron transfer layer, on which phospholipids and ampholytes are applied to construct a hydration layer for antifouling. The coating maintains promisingly low adsorption in biological matrices such as whole blood, serum, and urine, and has been utilized to construct multimodal clinical assay systems that provide favorable concordance with clinical results. Thus, this conductive bio-coating breaks the last barrier of biosensors toward practical applications and possesses extremely significant application value.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers are promising to achieve targeted delivery, improved stability during circulation, and controlled release of therapeutic and diagnostic agents. Among them, pH-responsive polymeric nanocarriers have attracted significant attention as pH varies in different body fluids (e.g., stomach, intestine, and colon) and intracellular organelles (e.g., endosome, lysosome, and mitochondria) to maintain homeostasis, while distinctive pH changes are also found in certain pathological states. For example, the extracellular environment of the tumor is acidic, which can be employed to drive selective delivery. During the internalization process, since most nanocarriers enter cells upon endocytosis where a drop of pH from 6.5 to 5.0 can occur from endosome to lysosome, pH-sensitive groups have been developed for enhanced cargo release. In this review, both non-covalent and covalent interactions responsive to pH changes are introduced, with a focus on the structure-property relationship and their applications in cancer targeting and endosomal escape.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious and fatal disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In general, the diagnostic tests for COVID-19 are based on the detection of nucleic acid, antibodies, and protein. Among different analytes, the gold standard of the COVID-19 test is the viral nucleic acid detection performed by the quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method. However, the gold standard test is time-consuming and requires expensive instrumentation, as well as trained personnel. Herein, we report an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor based on zinc sulfide/graphene (ZnS/graphene) nanocomposite for rapid and direct nucleic acid detection of SARS-CoV-2. We demonstrated a simple one-step route for manufacturing ZnS/graphene by employing an ultrafast (90 s) microwave-based non-equilibrium heating approach. The biosensor assay involves the hybridization of target DNA or RNA samples with probes that are immersed into a redox active electrolyte, which are detectable by electrochemical measurements. In this study, we have performed the tests for synthetic DNA samples and, SARS-CoV-2 standard samples. Experimental results revealed that the proposed biosensor could detect low concentrations of all different SARS-CoV-2 samples, using such as S, ORF 1a, and ORF 1b gene sequences as targets. This microwave-synthesized ZnS/graphene-based biosensor could be reliably used as an on-site, real-time, and rapid diagnostic test for COVID-19.

Abstract
Redox reactions in live cells are generated by involving various redox biomolecules for maintaining cell viability and functions. These qualities have been exploited in the development of clinical monitoring, diagnostic approaches, and numerous types of biosensors. Particularly, electrochemical biosensor-based live-cell detection technologies, such as electric cell-substrate impedance (ECIS), field-effect transistors (FETs), and potentiometric-based biosensors, are used for the electrochemical-based sensing of extracellular changes, genetic alterations, and redox reactions. In addition to the electrochemical biosensors for live-cell detection, cancer and stem cells may be immobilized on an electrode surface and evaluated electrochemically. Various nanomaterials and cell-friendly ligands are used to enhance the sensitivity of electrochemical biosensors. Here, we discuss recent advances in the use of electrochemical sensors for determining cell viability and function, which are essential for the practical application of these sensors as tools for pharmaceutical analysis and toxicity testing. We believe that this review will motivate researchers to enhance their efforts devoted to accelerating the development of electrochemical biosensors for future applications in the pharmaceutical industry and stem cell therapeutics.

Abstract
Benefiting from the stimuli-responsive property and powerful loading capacity, functionalized hydrogels are favorable for the fabrication of sensing devices. Herein, we design aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active hydrogel discs by embedding gold nanoclusters@zeolite-like imidazole framework (AuNCs@ZIF) composites in double-network hydrogels to build a sensitive pesticide biosensor. The hydrogel discs integrate an AIE effect of AuNCs, a stimuli-responsive property of ZIF, and a porous network structure of the hydrogel, which enhances the sensing sensitivity via boosting the stable fluorescent signal and antifouling performance. In conjunction with a homemade device, the fluorescence images of hydrogel discs could be transduced into data information for accurate quantification of chlorpyrifos pesticide with a detection limit of 0.2 ng/mL. The dynamic degradation of chlorpyrifos in Chinese cabbage is demonstrated to confirm the practical application of hydrogel discs. Such AIE-active hydrogel discs could be a plant health sensor for the on-site quantification of pesticide residues on crops, holding great promise for precision agriculture.

Abstract
Rapid and cost-effective diagnostic tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are a critical and valuable weapon for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic response. SARS-CoV-2 invasion is primarily mediated by human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2). Recent developments in ACE2-based SARS-CoV-2 detection modalities accentuate the potential of this natural host-virus interaction for developing point-of-care (POC) COVID-19 diagnostic systems. Although research on harnessing ACE2 for SARS-CoV-2 detection is in its infancy, some interesting biosensing devices have been developed, showing the commercial viability of this intriguing new approach. The exquisite performance of the reported ACE2-based COVID-19 biosensors provides opportunities for researchers to develop rapid detection tools suitable for virus detection at points of entry, workplaces, or congregate scenarios in order to effectively implement pandemic control and management plans. However, to be considered as an emerging approach, the rationale for ACE2-based biosensing needs to be critically and comprehensively surveyed and discussed. Herein, we review the recent status of ACE2-based detection methods, the signal transduction principles in ACE2 biosensors and the development trend in the future. We discuss the challenges to development of ACE2-biosensors and delineate prospects for their use, along with recommended solutions and suggestions.

Abstract
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) spreads an extremely infectious disease where there is no specific treatment. COVID-19 virus had a rapid and unexpected spread rate which resulted in critical difficulties for public health and unprecedented daily life disruption. Thus, accurate, rapid, and early diagnosis of COVID-19 virus is critical to maintain public health safety. A graphite oxide-based field-effect transistor (GO-FET) was fabricated and functionalized with COVID-19 antibody for the purpose of real-time detection of COVID-19 spike protein antigen. Thermal evaporation process was used to deposit the gold electrodes on the surface of the sensor substrate. Graphite oxide channel was placed between the gold electrodes. Bimetallic nanoparticles of platinum and palladium were generated via an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatible system by sputtering and inert-gas condensation technique. The biosensor graphite oxide channel was immobilized with specific antibodies against the COVID-19 spike protein to achieve selectivity and specificity. This technique uses the attractive semiconductor characteristics of the graphite oxide-based materials resulting in highly specific and sensitive detection of COVID-19 spike protein. The GO-FET biosensor was decorated with bimetallic nanoparticles of platinum and palladium to investigate the improvement in the sensor sensitivity. The in-house developed biosensor limit of detection (LOD) is 1 fg/mL of COVID-19 spike antigen in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Moreover, magnetic labelled SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody were studied to investigate any enhancement in the sensor performance. The results indicate the successful fabrication of a promising field effect transistor biosensor for COVID-19 diagnosis.

Abstract
Due to the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, low-cost, fast, and user-friendly diagnostic kits for biosensing SARS-CoV-2 in real samples employing multiple working electrodes are in high demand. Choosing SARS-CoV-2 detecting electrodes is difficult because each has advantages and limitations. Carbon-based electrochemical sensing applications have attracted attention from the electrochemical sensing community because carbon and carbon-based materials have been a godsend for testing utilizing an electrochemical platform. Carbon working electrode electrochemical platforms are cost-effective and fast. Covid-sensors use carbon-based materials because they can be easily changed (with inorganic and organic functionalities), have quick response kinetics, and are chemically resistant. Covid-19 sensing materials include graphene and graphite. This review explains how carbon materials have been employed in N and S protein electrochemical detection. Here, we discussed a carbon-based technology for SARS-CoV-2 biosensing. We've compared carbon-based electrochemical sensing to different electrodes.

Abstract
The inactive adsorption and interference of biomolecules in electrochemical biosensors is a topic of intense interest. Directly utilizing native cell membranes to endow electrochemical surfaces with antifouling and biocompatible features is a promising strategy, rather than attempting to synthetically replicate complex biological interface properties. In this study, we present a facial and sensitive sandwich-type antifouling immunoassay through platelet membrane/Au nanoparticle/delaminated V2C nanosheet (PM/AuNPs/d-V2C)-modified electrode as the substrate of sensing interface and methylene blue/aminated metal organic framework (MB@NH2-Fe-MOF-Zn) as an electrochemical signal probe. The biosensor perfectly integrates the high conductivity of AuNPs-loaded V2C MXene with the excellent loading property of NH2-Fe-MOF-Zn to improve the electrochemical sensing performance. In addition, the excellent antifouling properties of the homogeneous cell membrane can effectively prevent the non-specific adsorption of model proteins. The obtained antifouling biosensor possesses the capability of ultrasensitive detection of CD44 and CD44-positive cancer cell in complex liquids and exhibits good analytical performance for the analysis of CD44 with a linear range from 0.5 ng/mL to 500 ng/mL. This strategy of developing cell membrane-based biosensing systems with enhanced antifouling capability can be easily expanded to the construction of other complex biosensors, and the advanced biological probes and analytical methods provide a favorable means to accurately quantify biomarkers associated with tumor progression.

Abstract
As viruses constantly change due to mutation, variants are expected to emerge demanding development of sensors capable of detecting multiple variants using one single sensor platform. Herein, we report the integration of a synthetic binder against SARS-CoV-2 with a nanoplasmonic-based sensing technology, which enables the successful detection of spike proteins of Alpha, Beta and Gamma variants of SARS CoV-2. The recognition event is achieved by specific nanostructured molecularly imprinted polymers (nanoMIPs), developed against a region of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS CoV-2 spike protein. The transduction is based on the principle of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) associated with silver nanostructures. The nanoMIPs-functionalised LSPR sensor allows for the detection of all 3 protein variants with a limit of detection of 9.71 fM, 7.32 fM and 8.81 pM using wavelength shifts respectively for Alpha, Beta and Gamma spike protein variants. This can be achieved within 30 min from the sample collection, both from blood and using nasal swab, thus making this sensor suitable for rapid detection of COVID-19. Additionally, the turnaround time for sensor development and validation can be completed in less than 8 weeks, making it suitable for addressing future pandemic needs without the requirement for biological binding agents, which is one of the bottlenecks to the supply chain in diagnostic devices.

Abstract
Electrochemical methodology has probably been the most used sensing platform in the past few years as they provide superior advantages. In particular, screen-printed electrode (SPE)-based sensing applications stand out as they provide extraordinary miniaturized but robust and user-friendly detection system. In this context, we are focusing on the modification of SPE with functional nucleic acid probes and nanostructures to improve the electrochemical detection performance in versatile sensing applications, particularly in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Aptamers are immobilized on the electrode surface to detect non-nucleic acid targets and complementary probes to recognize and capture nucleic acid targets. In a step further, SPE-based biosensors with the modification of self-assembled DNA nanostructures are emphasized as they offer great potential for the interface engineering of the electrode surface and promote the excellent performance of various interface reactions. By equipping with a portable potentiostat and a smartphone monitoring device, the realization of this SPE-based miniaturized diagnostic system for the further requirement of fast and POC detection is revealed. Finally, more novel and excellent works are previewed and future perspectives in this field are mentioned.

Abstract
The global pandemic of COVID-19, which began in late 2019, has resulted in extremely high morbidity and severe mortality worldwide, with important implications for human health, international trade, and national politics. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is the primary pathogen causing COVID-19. Analytical chemistry played an important role in this global epidemic event, and detection of SARS-CoV-2 even became a part of daily life. Analytical chemists have devoted much effort and enthusiasm to this event, and different analytical techniques have shown very rapid development. Electrochemical biosensors are highly efficient, sensitive, and cost-effective and have been used to detect many highly pathogenic viruses long before this event. However, another fact is that electrochemical biosensors are not the technology of choice for most detection applications. This review describes for the first time the role played by electrochemical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 detection from a bibliometric perspective. This paper analyzed 254 relevant research papers up to June 2022. The contributions of different countries and institutions to this topic were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explore different methodological attempts of electrochemical detection techniques. More importantly, we are trying to find an answer to the question: do electrochemical biosensors have the potential to become a genuinely employable detection technology in an outbreak of infectious disease?

Abstract
Infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the current pandemic. Its mortality rate increases, demonstrating the imperative need for acute and rapid diagnostic tools as an alternative to current serological tests and molecular techniques. Features of electrochemical genosensor devices make them amenable for fast and accurate testing closer to the patient. This work reports on a specific electrochemical genosensor for SARS-CoV-2 detection and discrimination against homologous respiratory viruses. The electrochemical biosensor was assembled by immobilizing thiolated capture probes on top of maleimide-coated magnetic particles, followed by specific target hybridization between the capture and biotinylated signaling probes in a sandwich-type manner. The probes were rigorously designed bioinformatically and tested in vitro. Enzymatic complexes based on streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase linked the biotinylated signaling probe to render the biosensor electrochemical response. The genosensor showed to reach a sensitivity of 174.4 μA fM−1 and a limit of detection of 807 fM when using streptavidin poly-HRP20 enzymatic complex, detected SARS-CoV-2 specifically and discriminated it against homologous viruses in spiked samples and samples from SARS-CoV-2 cell cultures, a step forward to detect SARS-CoV-2 closer to the patient as a promising way for diagnosis and surveillance of COVID-19.

Abstract
Covid-19 is a dreadful pandemic of the 21st century that has created fear among people, affected the whole world, and taken thousands of lives. It infects the respiratory system and causes flu-type symptoms. According to the WHO reports, 2,082,745 deaths and 96,267,473 confirmed cases were perceived all around the globe till January 22, 2021. The significant roots of transmission are inhalation and direct contact with the infected surface. Its incubation period is 2-14 days and remains asymptomatic in most people. However, no treatment and vaccine are available for the people, so preventive measures like social distancing, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), and frequent hand-washing are the practical and only options for cure. It has affected every sector of the world, whether it is trade or health all around the world. There is high demand for diagnostic tools as high-scale and expeditious testing is crucial for controlling disease spread; thus, detection methods play an essential role. Like flu, Covid-19 is also detected through RT-PCR, as the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested, but it is time taking and expensive method that many countries cannot afford. A vaccine is a crucial aspect of eradicating disease, and for SARS-CoV-2), plasma therapy and antibiotics therapy are used in the early spreading phase. The later stage involves forming a vaccine based on spike protein, N-protein, and whole-viral antigen that effectively immunizes the population worldwide until herd immunity can be achieved. In this review, we will discuss all possible and developed techniques for identifying SARS-CoV-2 and make a comparison of their specificity, selectivity, and cost; thus, we choose an appropriate method for fast, reliable, and pocket-friendly detection.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is still a major public health concern in many nations today. COVID-19 transmission is now controlled mostly through early discovery, isolation, and therapy. Because of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the contributing factor to COVID-19, establishing timely, sensitive, accurate, simple, and budget detection technologies for the SARS-CoV-2 is urgent for epidemic prevention. Recently, several electrochemical DNA biosensors have been developed for the rapid monitoring and detection of SARS-CoV-2. This mini-review examines the latest improvements in the detection of SARS-COV-2 utilizing electrochemical DNA biosensors. Meanwhile, this mini-review summarizes the problems faced by the existing assays and puts an outlook on future trends in the development of new assays for SARS-CoV-2, to provide researchers with a borrowing role in the generation of different assays.

Abstract
In this work, an intelligent multiregion linear DNA walker (MLDW) with a high walking rate and a high amplification efficiency was explored for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA. Significantly, amounts of functional domain could be concentrated in a long linear DNA obtained by the target miRNA-mediated rolling-circle amplification to simultaneously increase the local concentration and collision probability, resulting in an obviously improved reaction rate. Impressively, the MLDW can accomplish the reaction within 30 min, which is at least 4 times beyond that of traditional single-leg and multiple-leg DNA walkers. As a proof of concept, the high-efficiency MLDW was used to develop an electrochemical biosensing platform for ultrasensitive detection of target miRNA-21 with a low detection limit down to 36 aM. Therefore, the MLDW we designed puts forward an innovative insight to construct a functional DNA nanodevice and promote the investigation of the inherent performance of nucleic acid signal amplification for ultimate application in the detection of biomolecules and clinical disease diagnosis.
