Abstract
Conventional lateral flow assays based on colorimetry and fluorescence still have shortages in sensitivity and selectivity due to the severe background interference from complex human fluid sample matrices. In this work, Cu2-xAgxS nanocrystals with high photothermal conversion efficiency and good peroxidase-like activity were synthesized and applied in the construction of a dual-mode near-infrared-photothermal/chemiluminescence (CL) vertical flow assay of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). These two-mode principles showed nearly zero background and the synthesized Cu2-xAgxS exhibited a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 75.23%, enabling the luminol-H2O2 CL system to have over 4 min of chemiluminescence. By combining filter membrane enrichment, Cu2-xAgxS@liposome encapsulation amplification, and nanozyme catalysis, a dual-mode photothermal/CL portable assay was constructed for sensitive and accurate detection of CEA in serum, with linear ranges of 0.02-40 and 0.001-30 ng mL-1, and detection limits of 0.0023 and 0.00029 ng mL-1, respectively. Furthermore, a smartphone application and a 3D printing device were combined for point-of-care testing. This assay can be completed within 20 min, with simple operation and no need for large instruments. It exhibited good sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, and is expected to be used in early diagnosis and prevention of relevant diseases in resource-limited areas.

Abstract
Early detection of cancer markers is critical for cancer diagnosis and cancer therapy since these markers may indicate cancer risk, incidence, and disease prognosis. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a type of non-specific and broad-spectrum cancer biomarker commonly utilized for early cancer diagnosis. Moreover, it serves as an essential tool to assess the efficacy of cancer treatment and monitor tumor recurrence as well as metastasis, thus garnering significant attention for precise and sensitive CEA detection. In recent years, photoelectrochemical (PEC) techniques have emerged as prominent methods in CEA detection due to the advantages of PEC, such as simple equipment requirements, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, low interference from background signals, and easy of instrument miniaturization. Different signal amplification methods have been reported in PEC sensors for CEA analysis. Based on these, this article reviews PEC sensors based on various signal amplification strategies for detection of CEA during the last five years. The advantages and drawbacks of these sensors were discussed, as well as future challenges.

Ultrasensitive monitoring of PCB77 in environmental samples using a visible-driven photoelectrochemical sensing platform coupling with exonuclease I assisted in target recycling. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:173982. [PMID: 38889816 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Due to the urgent need for detecting trace amounts of 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB77) in the environment, we have developed an efficient and visible-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform based on carbon quantum dots (CQDs) modified titanium dioxide nanorods (TiO2 NRs), coupling with exonuclease I (Exo I) assisted in target recycling for significant signal amplification. CQDs/TiO2 NRs with high visible-light absorption ability and electron-hole separation efficiency is used as photoactive substrate for anchoring anti-PCB77 aptamer and its complementary DNA (cDNA). With the addition of PCB77, the specific interaction between PCB77 and its aptamer forces aptamer to separate from the electrode surface, resulting in an increase in photocurrent density. Adding Exo I in the test system, a self-catalytic target cycle was motivated, which significantly increased the PEC signal by more than twice, achieving signal amplification. The relationship between the photocurrent density changes and the concentrations of PCB77 are utilized to achieve quantitative detection of PCB77. The designed PEC sensing platform has good analytical performance with a detection limit as low as 0.33 pg L-1, high selectivity and stability. Moreover, the PEC sensor is successfully used to evaluate the content of PBC77 in the environment samples. The established sensing platform provides a simple and efficient method for detecting trace amounts of PCB77 in the environment.

Abstract
Convenient and accurate quantification of disease-relevant multitargets is essential for community disease screening. However, in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors for multisubstance detection, research on the continuous detection of multiple targets using a polarity-switching mode is scarce. In this study, a multiplexed PEC bioassay was developed based on a target-triggered "anodic-cathodic-anodic" multiple-polarity-switchable mode. Employing miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 as model analytes, the photosensitive material combinations of Cu2O/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/TiO2 and CdS/AuNPs/TiO2 were successively formed through the specific binding of different whisker branches of Whisker-DNA to Cu2O-H1 and the CdS-tripod DNA ring, respectively. This process reverses the photocurrent polarity from anodic to cathodic and then back to anodic upon detecting different targets, resulting in the high-sensitivity quantification of various biological targets with reduced interference. To enhance the device's utility and affordability in community disease screening, integrating a capacitor and a multimeter-smartphone connection simplifies the assembly and reduces costs. In developing the PEC sensor, the device demonstrated linear detection ranges for miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 from 0.01 fM to 10 nM. Detection limits for miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 were established at 3.2 and 4.3 aM, respectively. The innovative target-triggered multiple-polarity-switchable mode offers adaptability for other multitarget detections by simply modifying the structure of the whisker branches and the combination of photosensitive materials.

Precisely Manipulating Steric Hindrance Effect on DNA Walker for Tunable Detection of MicroRNA Using Enzymatic Strand Displacement Amplification. Anal Chem 2024.

Abstract
The spatial constraints imposed by the DNA structure have significant implications for the walking efficiency of three-dimensional DNA walkers. However, accurately quantifying and manipulating steric hindrance remains a challenging task. This study presents a steric hindrance-controlled DNA walker utilizing an enzymatic strand displacement amplification (ESDA) strategy for detecting microRNA-21 (miR-21) with tunable dynamic range and sensitivity. The steric hindrance of the DNA walker was precisely manipulated by varying the length of empty bases from 6.5 Å to 27.4 Å at the end of the track strand and adjusting the volumetric dimensions of the hairpin structure from 9.13 nm3 to 26.2 nm3 at the terminus of the single-foot DNA walking strand. This method demonstrated a tunable limit of detection for miR-21 ranging from 3.6 aM to 35.6 nM, along with a dynamic range from ∼100-fold to ∼166 000-fold. Impressively, it exhibited successful identification of cancer cells and clinical serum samples with high miR-21 expression. The proposed novel strategy not only enables tunable detection of miRNA through the regulation of steric hindrance but also achieves accurate and quantitative analysis of the steric hindrance effect, promising broader applications in personalized medicine, early disease detection, and drug development.

Abstract
This paper reports on development of an optical biosensor for the detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus proteins in blood serum. ZnO nanotetrapods with high surface area and stable room temperature photoluminescence (PL) were selected as transducers. Structure and optical properties of the ZnO tetrapods have been studied by XRD, SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Crystallinity, dimensions and emission peaks of the ZnO tetrapods were determined. The ZnO tetrapods were fixed on glass chip. Silanization of ZnO tetrapods surface resulted in forming of functional surface groups suitable for the immobilization of bioselective layer. Two types of recombinant proteins (rS and rN) have been used to form bioselective layer on the surface of the ZnO tetrapods. Flow through microfluidic system, integrated with optical system, has been used for the determination of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus proteins present in blood samples. The SARS-CoV-2 probes, prepared in PBS solution, have been injected into the measurement chamber with a constant pumping speed. Steady-state photoluminescence spectra and photoluminescence kinetics have been studied before and after injection of the probes. The biosensor signal has been tested to anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the range of 0.001 nM-1 nM. Control measurements have been performed with blood serum of healthy person. ZnO-SARS-CoV-2-rS and ZnO-SARS-CoV-2-rN biosensors showed high stability and sensitivity to anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the range of 0.025-0.5 nM (LOD 0.01 nM) and 0.3-1 nM (LOD 0.3 nM), respectively. Gibbs free energy of interaction between ZnO/SARS-CoV-2-rS and ZnO/SARS-CoV-2-rN bioselective layers with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies showed -35.5 and -21.4 kJ/mol, respectively. Average detection time of biosensor integrated within microfluidic system was 15-20 min. The detection time and pumping speed (50 μL/min) were optimized to make detection faster. The developed system and ZnO-SARS-CoV-2-rS nanostructures have good potential for detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from patient's probes.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive photothermal assay was designed for point-of-care testing (POCT) of tumor markers based on a filter membrane. Firstly, Cu2-xSe was successfully encapsulated in liposome spheres with biotin on the surface and connected to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) aptamer with 3'end modified biotin by streptavidin. Secondly, the CEA antibody was successfully modified on the surface of the nitrocellulose membrane through simple incubation. Finally, the assay process was completed using a disposable syringe, and the temperature was recorded using a handheld infrared temperature detector. In the range 0-50 ng mL-1, the temperature change of the nitrocellulose membrane has a strong linear relationship with CEA concentration, and the detection limit is 0.097 ng mL-1. It is worth noting that the entire testing process can be easily performed in 10 min, much shorter than traditional clinical methods. In addition, this method was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of CEA levels in human serum samples with a recovery of 96.2-103.3%. This rapid assay can be performed by "one suction and one push" through a disposable syringe, which is simple to operate, and the excellent sensitivity reveals the great potential of the proposed strategy in the POCT of tumor biomarkers.

Abstract
Abnormal expression in long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is closely associated with cancers. Herein, a novel CRISPR/Cas13a-enhanced photocurrent-polarity-switching photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was engineered for the joint detection of dual lncRNAs, using deep learning (DL) to assist in cancer diagnosis. After target lncRNA-activated CRISPR/Cas13a cleaves to induce DNAzyme bidirectional walkers with the help of cofactor Mg2+, nitrogen-doped carbon-Cu/Cu2O octahedra are introduced into the biosensor, producing a photocurrent in the opposite direction of CdS quantum dots (QDs). The developed PEC biosensor shows high specificity and sensitivity with limits of detection down to 25.5 aM for lncRNA HOTAIR and 53.1 aM for lncRNA MALAT1. More importantly, this platform for the lncRNA joint assay in whole blood can successfully differentiate cancers from healthy people. Furthermore, the DL model is applied to explore the potential pattern hidden in data of the established technology, and the accuracy of DL cancer diagnosis can acquire 93.3%. Consequently, the developed platform offers a new avenue for lncRNA joint detection and early intelligent diagnosis of cancer.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2312175. [PMID: 38534021 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202312175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Ultrasensitive detection of biomarkers, particularly proteins, and microRNA, is critical for disease early diagnosis. Although surface plasmon resonance biosensors offer label-free, real-time detection, it is challenging to detect biomolecules at low concentrations that only induce a minor mass or refractive index change on the analyte molecules. Here an ultrasensitive plasmonic biosensor strategy is reported by utilizing the ferroelectric properties of Bi2O2Te as a sensitive-layer material. The polarization alteration of ferroelectric Bi2O2Te produces a significant plasmonic biosensing response, enabling the detection of charged biomolecules even at ultralow concentrations. An extraordinary ultralow detection limit of 1 fm is achieved for protein molecules and an unprecedented 0.1 fm for miRNA molecules, demonstrating exceptional specificity. The finding opens a promising avenue for the integration of 2D ferroelectric materials into plasmonic biosensors, with potential applications spanning a wide range.

Abstract
Malaria is a major public health challenge worldwide and requires accurate and efficient diagnostic methods. Traditional diagnostic approaches based on antigen-antibody interactions are associated with ethical and economic concerns. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) offer a promising alternative by providing a complementary polymer structure capable of selectively binding target molecules. In this study, we developed a liquid, redox-probe-free, MIP-based electrochemical biosensor to detect the Plasmodium falciparum malaria marker histidine-rich protein (HRP2) at the point-of-care (PoC). The imprinting phase consists of the electropolymerization of the monomer methylene blue (MB) in the presence of the target protein HRP2 at the working electrode (WE) of the modified carbon screen printed electrode (C-SPE). Subsequent removal of the protein with proteinase K and oxalic acid yielded the MIP material. The sensor assembly was monitored by cyclic voltammetry (CV), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analytical performance of the biosensor was evaluated by square-wave voltammetry (SWV) using calibration curves in buffer and serum with a detection limit of 0.43 ± 0.026 pg mL-1. Selectivity studies showed minimal interference, indicating a highly selective assay. Overall, our approach to detect the HRP2 infection marker offers simplicity, cost-effectiveness and reliability. In particular, the absence of a redox solution simplifies detection, as the polymer itself is electroactive and exhibits oxidation and reduction peaks.

Abstract
Exploring the high-performance photoelectronic properties of perovskite quantum dots (QDs) is desirable for paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing;however, challenges remain in improving their stability and fundamental performance. Herein, a novel Z-scheme heterostructure with host-guest interaction by the confinement of CH3NH3PbBr3 QDs within Cu3(BTC)2 metal-organic framework (MOF) crystal (MAPbBr3@Cu3(BTC)2) is successfully constructed on the paper-based PEC device for ultrasensitive detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA), with the assistance of the exciton-plasmon interaction (EPI) effect. The host-guest interaction is estabilished by encapsulating MAPbBr3 QDs as guests within Cu3(BTC)2 MOF as a host, which prevents MAPbBr3 QDs from being damaged in the polar system, offering access to long-term stability with high-performance PEC properties. Benefiting from the precise alignment of energy levels, the photogenerated charge carriers can migrate according to the Z-scheme charge-transfer pathway under the driving force of the internal electric field, achieving a high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Upon OTA recognition, the EPI effect is activated to modulate the exciton response in MAPbBr3 QDs by accelerating radiative decay, finally achieving sensitive OTA sensing with a detection limit of 0.017 pg mL-1. We believe this work renders new insight into designing host-guest Z-scheme heterojunctions in constructing the paper-based PEC sensing platforms for environmental monitoring.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE). The electropolymerization of dopamine in conjunction with highly conductive carbon nanotubes offers a simple and quick platform for the direct anchoring of antibodies without the assistance of any coupling agent as well as a blocking agent. The developed immunosensor exhibited a wider detection range from 120 pM (9 ng mL-1) to 3 nM (200 ng mL-1) for NSE with a high sensitivity of 3.9 μA pM-1 cm-2 in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at physiological pH (7.4). Moreover, the short recognition time (15 min) for the antigen enabled the detection to be fast and less invasive. Additionally, the evaluation of a rate constant at various concentrations of NSE via feedback mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) explained the profound effect of antigen concentration on the rate of flow of electrons. Therefore, the proposed immunosensor can be a promising tool for the early detection of small cell lung cancer in a very short period of time with consistent accuracy.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) as a new kind of luminophore have acquired sufficient interest, but their widespread application is restricted on account of their relatively low electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency. Then, aqueous metal NCs with high ECL efficiency were strongly anticipated, especially for the ultrasensitive analysis of biomarkers. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) ECL biosensing strategy for the test of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was proposed by utilizing N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC)- and cysteamine (Cys)-stabilized gold NCs (NAC/Cys-AuNCs) as ECL emitters with the NIR ECL emission around 860 nm and a metal-organic framework/palladium nanocubes (ZIF-67/PdNCs) hybrid as the coreaction accelerator through their admirable electrocatalytic activity. The NIR emission would reduce photochemical injury to the samples and even realize nondestructive analysis with highly strong susceptibility and suitability. Furthermore, the utilization of ZIF-67/PdNCs could improve the ECL response of NAC/Cys-AuNCs by facilitating the oxidation of the coreactant triethylamine (TEA), leading to the production of a larger quantity of reducing intermediate radical TEA•+. Consequently, NAC/Cys-AuNCs with ZIF-67/PdNCs displayed 2.7 fold enhanced ECL emission compared with the single NAC/Cys-AuNCs using TEA as the coreactant. In addition, HWRGWVC (HWR), a heptapeptide, was introduced to immobilize antibodies for the specially binding Fc fragment of the antibodies, which improved the binding efficiency and sensitivity. As a result, a "signal-on" immunosensor for NSE analysis was obtained with an extensive linear range of 0.1 to 5 ng/mL and a low limit of detection (0.033 fg/mL) (S/N = 3). This study provides a wonderful method for the development of an efficient nondestructive immunoassay.

Abstract
The bioaccumulation of various heavy metals in the environment and agriculture is posing serious hazards to human health. Hexavalent chromium is one of the most encountered heavy metal pollutants. The routine monitoring of Cr(VI) via simple methods assumes great analytical significance in sectors like environmental safety, food quality, etc. This study reports a novel biocompatible and luminescent metal-organic framework (ascorbic acid functionalized Bio-MOF-1) based "Turn-on" nanoprobe for rapid and sensitive optical detection of Cr(VI). Bio-MOF-1 has been synthesized, functionalized with ascorbic acid (AA), and then comprehensively characterized for its key material properties. The presence of Cr(VI) results in the photoluminescence recovery of Bio-MOF-1/AA. Using the above approach, Cr(VI) is detected over a wide concentration range of 0.02 to 20 ng mL-1, with the limit of detection being 0.01 ng mL-1. The nanoprobe is capable of detecting Cr(VI) in real water as well as in some spiked food samples. Hence, the ascorbic acid functionalized Bio-MOF-1 nanoprobe is established as a potential on-field detection tool for Cr(VI).

Abstract
In conventional ratiometric photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, the detection and reference signals are output sequentially from two independent photosensitive materials. In such a "two-to-two" ratiometric mode, unavoidable difference during dual-interface modification exists, resulting in questionable ratiometric signals and detection results. To address this issue, we propose a novel "one-to-two" ratiometric PEC sensor on a single electrode interface through pH-modulated band alignment engineering. The double ratiometric signals are generated by the synergistic action of a pH-responsive CuTCPP/WS2 photoelectric substrate material and the i-motif sensing tool. Specifically, a ternary heterostructure to generate a photoanodic detection signal is formed under alkaline conditions between CuTCPP/WS2 and signal label CdS QDs binding to the i-motif. While under acidic conditions, a photocurrent polarity conversion and signaling labels detachment, induced by the band realignment of CuTCPP/WS2 and the i-motif conformational switching, produce a reliable internal reference photocathodic signal. The feasibility of this two-wing signal generation strategy is validated by detecting mycotoxin ochratoxin A, which achieves accurate and reliable ratio detection results. Overall, this work provides guidance for the design of a PEC ratiometric determination system and exhibits great potential to be applied in practical analysis research.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters feature a hierarchical structure, facilitating their ability to mimic enzyme-catalyzed reactions. However, the lack of true catalytic centers, compounded by tightly bound surface ligands hindering electron transfers to substrates, underscores the need for universal rational design methodologies to emulate the structure and mechanisms of natural enzymes. Motivated by the electron transfer in active centers with specific chemical structures, by integrating the peroxidase cofactor Fe-TCPP onto the surface of glutathione-stabilized gold nanoclusters (AuSG), we engineered AuSG-Fe-TCPP clusterzymes with a remarkable 39.6-fold enhancement in peroxidase-like activity compared to AuSG. Fe-TCPP not only mimics the active center structure, enhancing affinity to H2O2, but also facilitates the electron transfer process, enabling efficient H2O2 activation. By exemplifying the establishment of a detecting platform for trace H2O2 produced by ultrasonic cleaners, we substantiate that the bioinspired surface-ligand-engineered electron transfer can improve sensing performance with a wider linear range and lower detection limit.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused mainly by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), accounting for both uncomplicated (75%) and complicated (65%) UTIs. Detecting UPEC in a specific, rapid, and timely manner is essential for eradication, and optical biosensors may be useful tools for detecting UPEC. Recently, biosensors have been developed for the selective detection of antigen-antibody-specific interactions. In this study, a methodology based on the principle of an optical biosensor was developed to identify specific biomolecules, such as the PapG protein, which is located at the tip of P fimbriae and promotes the interaction of UPEC with the uroepithelium of the human kidney during a UTI. For biosensor construction, recombinant PapG protein was generated and polyclonal anti-PapG antibodies were obtained. The biosensor was fabricated in silicon supports because its surface and anchor biomolecules can be modified through its various properties. The fabrication process was carried out using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and an immobilized bioreceptor (anti-PapG) to detect the PapG protein. Each stage of biosensor development was evaluated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The infrared spectra showed bands corresponding to the C-H, C=O, and amide II bonds, revealing the presence of the PapG protein. Then, the spectra of the second derivative were obtained from 1600 to 1700 cm-1 to specifically determine the interactions that occur in the secondary structures between the biological recognition element (anti-PapG antibodies) and the analyte (PapG protein) complex. The analyzed secondary structure showed β-sheets and β-turns during the detection of the PapG protein. Our data suggest that the PapG protein can be detected through an optical biosensor and that the biosensor exhibited high specificity for the detection of UPEC strains. Furthermore, these studies provide initial support for the development of more specific biosensors that can be applied in the future for the detection of clinical UPEC samples associated with ITUs.

Abstract
The abnormal expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is highly related to several serious human diseases. Therefore, an accurate PTP1B activity assay is beneficial to the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. In this study, a dual-mode biosensing platform that enabled the sensitive and accurate assay of PTP1B activity was constructed based on the high-frequency (100 MHz) quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and dual-signaling electrochemical (EC) ratiometric strategy. Covalent-organic framework@gold nanoparticles@ferrocene@single-strand DNA (COF@Au@Fc-S0) was introduced onto the QCM Au chip via the chelation between Zr4+ and phosphate groups (phosphate group of the phosphopeptide (P-peptide) on the QCM Au chip and the phosphate group of thiol-labeled single-stranded DNA (S0) on COF@Au@Fc-S0) and used as a signal reporter. When PTP1B was present, the dephosphorylation of the P-peptide led to the release of COF@Au@Fc-S0 from the QCM Au chip, resulting in an increase in the frequency of the QCM. Meanwhile, the released COF@Au@Fc-S0 hybridized with thiol/methylene blue (MB)-labeled hairpin DNA (S1-MB) on the Au NPs-modified indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. This caused MB to be far away from the electrode surface and Fc to be close to the electrode, leading to a decrease in the oxidation peak current of MB and an increase in the oxidation peak current of Fc. Thus, PTP1B-induced dephosphorylation of the P-peptide was monitored in real time by QCM, and PTP1B activity was detected sensitively and reliably using this innovative QCM-EC dual-mode sensing platform with an ultralow detection limit. This platform is anticipated to serve as a robust tool for the analysis of protein phosphatase activity and the discovery of drugs targeting protein phosphatase.

Abstract
Label-free photoelectrochemical sensors have the advantages of high sensitivity and a simple electrode structure. However, its performance is greatly limited due to the photoactive materials' weak photoactivity and poor stability. Herein, a robust homogeneous photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor has been constructed for atrazine (ATZ) based on photoetching (PE) surface oxygen vacancies (Ov)-enriched Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) (PE-BVO). The surface of the Ov improves the carrier separation ability of BiVO4, thus providing a superior signal substrate for the sensor. A thiol molecular layer self-assembled on PE-BVO acts as a blocker, while 2D graphene acts as a signal-on probe after release from the aptamer-graphene complex. The fabricated sensor has a wide linear detection range of 0.5 pM to 10.0 nM and a low detection limit of 0.34 pM (S/N = 3) for ATZ. In addition, it can efficiently work in a wide pH range (3-13) and high ionic strength (∼6 M Na+), which provides promising opportunities for detecting environmental pollutants under complex conditions.

Abstract
Developing highly sensitive and selective methods that incorporate specific recognition elements is crucial for detecting small molecules because of the limited availability of small molecule antibodies and the challenges in obtaining sensitive signals. In this study, a generalizable photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform was constructed based on the synergistic effects of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-aptamer sandwich structure and nanoenzymes. The MIP functionalized peroxidase-like Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@MIPs) and alkaline phosphatase mimic Zr-MOF labeled aptamer (Zr-mof@Apt) were used as the recognition elements. By selectively accumulating dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a small molecule target model, on Fe3O4@MIPs, the formation of Zr-MOF@Apt-DBP- Fe3O4@MIPs sandwich structure was triggered. Fe3O4@MIPs oxidized TMB to form blue-colored oxTMB. However, upon selective accumulation of DBP, the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@MIPs was inhibited, resulting in a lighter color that was detectable by the colorimetric method. Additionally, Zr-mof@Apt effectively catalyzed the hydrolysis of L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sesquimagnesium salt hydrate (AAPS), generating ascorbic acid (AA) that could neutralize the photogenerated holes to decrease the photocurrent signals for PEC sensing and reduce oxTMB for colorimetric testing. The dual-mode platform showed strong linearity for different concentrations of DBP from 1.0 pM to 10 μM (PEC) and 0.1 nM to 0.5 μM (colorimetry). The detection limits were 0.263 nM (PEC) and 30.1 nM (colorimetry) (S/N = 3), respectively. The integration of dual-signal measurement mode and sandwich recognition strategy provided a sensitive and accurate platform for the detection of small molecules.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical sensor, employing an S-scheme heterojunction of phthalocyanine and TiO2 nanoparticles, has been developed to enable highly sensitive determination of glutathione. By integrating the favorable stability, environmental benignity, and electronic properties of the TiO2 matrix with the unique photoactivity of phthalocyanine species, the designed sensor presents a substantial linear dynamic range and a low detection limit for the quantification of glutathione. The sensitivity is attributed to efficient charge transfer and separation across the staggered heterojunction energy levels, which generates measurable photocurrent signals. Systematic variation of phthalocyanine content reveals an optimal composition that balances light harvesting capacity and electron-hole recombination rates. The incorporation of phosphotungstic acid (PTA) in sample preparation effectively minimizes interference from compounds like L-cysteine and others. Consequently, this leads to an improvement in accuracy through the reduction of impurity levels. Appreciable photocurrent enhancements are observed upon introduction of both oxidized and reduced glutathione at the optimized composite photoanode. Coupled with advantageous features of photoelectrochemical transduction such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to fouling, this sensor holds great promise for practical applications in complex biological media.

Abstract
Successively emerged high-throughput multitarget molecular detection methods bring significant development tides in chemical, biological, and environmental fields. However, several persistent challenges of intricate sample preparation, expensive instruments, and tedious and skilled operations still need to be further addressed. Here, we propose an automatic light-addressable photoelectrochemical (ALA-PEC) sensing platform for sensitive and selective detection of multitarget molecules. With Au nanoparticle-decorated TiO2 nanotube photonic crystals (Au-TiO2 NTPCs) as a photoelectrode and 8 kinds of antibiotics as target molecules, the ALA-PEC sensing system implements automatic detection of multimolecules in a short time with high sensitivity and good selectivity. Random samples with different amounts of antibiotics have been well-distinguished in the ALA-PEC system, and both the chemical components and concentrations have been well-illustrated in a pattern recognition model. It is worth noting that 8 samples are not the limit of the ALA-PEC sensing platform, which can be easily expanded to more complex detection arrays based on practical needs. The emerging ALA-PEC sensing platform provides a new solution for rapid screening and detection of multitarget and high-throughput substances and potentially brings the automatic, portable, sensitive, high-throughput, and cost-effective detection technique to an entire new realm.

Abstract
CdIn2S4 and zinc tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (ZnTCPP) were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and an organic dye-sensitized inorganic semiconductor ZnTCPP/CdIn2S4 type II heterojunction was constructed on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate electrode. A sandwich immunostructure for signal-attenuation photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was constructed using the ZnTCPP/CdIn2S4/FTO photoanode and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-ZnFe2O4-Ab2-bovine serum albumin (BSA) immunolabeling complex. The bioenzyme HRP and the HRP-like nanozyme ZnFe2O4 can co-catalyze the oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (4-CN) by H2O2 to produce an insoluble precipitate on the photoanode, thus notably reducing the anodic photocurrent for quantitative determination of cTnI. Under the optimal conditions, the photocurrent at 0 V vs. SCE in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.40) containing 0.1 M ascorbic acid was linear with the logarithm of cTnI concentration from 500 fg mL-1 to 50.0 ng mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) is 0.15 pg mL-1. Spiked recoveries were 95.1% ~ 104% for assay of cTnI in human serum samples.

Abstract
Cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) analysis has received special concerns because of its outstanding anti-interference capability toward reductive substances in samples, so it is highly desirable to develop high-performance photocathodic materials for PEC analysis. Herein, a Zr-based metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF), MOF-525, is explored as a photoactive material in aqueous solution for the first time, which shows a narrow band-gap of 1.82 eV, excellent visible-light absorption, and high cathodic PEC activity. A sandwiched-type PEC immunosensor for detecting prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is fabricated by using MIL-101-NH2(Fe) label and MOF-525 photoactive material. MIL-101-NH2(Fe) as a typical Fe-MOF can serve as a peroxidase mimic to catalyze the production of precipitates on the photoelectrode. Both the produced precipitates and the MIL-101-NH2(Fe) labels can quench the photocathodic current, enabling "signal-off" immunosensing of PSA. The detection limit is 3 fg mL-1, and the linear range is between 10 fg mL-1 and 100 ng mL-1 for detecting PSA. The present study not only develops a high-performance Zr-MOF photoactive material for cathodic PEC analysis but also constructs a sensitive PEC immunosensing platform based on the dual-signal amplification of peroxidase-mimetic Fe-MOF.

Abstract
Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) broaden the optical sensing applications of lanthanide ions due to the antenna effect between organic ligands and metals. However, the sensitization ability of the ligand to metal ions is limited, and maximizing the sensitization of the electrochemiluminescence behavior of Eu3+ is still a challenge for the application of Ln-MOFs. Therefore, under the guidance of the "cascade sensitization mechanism" based on the antenna effect sensitizing the electrochemiluminescence of bimetallic Ln-MOFs, we proposed Eu/Tb-MOFs with high luminescence intensity as a signal probe. According to the antenna effect, the conjugated structure and high extinction coefficient of the benzene ring of 2-amino terephthalic acid (NH2-BDC) can enhance the ECL luminescence intensity of Eu/Tb-MOFs. Tb3+ can act as an energy bridge between NH2-BDC and Eu3+, buffering the energy gap. The bimetallic sensitization is formed between Tb3+ and Eu3+, which can inhibit the reverse internal flow of energy and ensure the high luminous efficiency of Eu3+. In addition, the nanosphere mixed valence Fe3O4 as a co-reactant accelerator promotes the formation of transient free radical SO4•- through the valence change of Fe2+/Fe3+. The ECL immunosensor constructed by luminophores Eu/Tb-MOFs and nanosphere Fe3O4 provided a new explanation for the ECL self-luminous of Eu/Tb-MOFs.

Abstract
Pressure and temperature, as common physical parameters, are important for monitoring human health. In contrast, single-mode monitoring is prone to causing experimental errors. Herein, we innovatively designed a dual-mode flexible sensing platform based on a platinum/zinc-meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (Pt/Zn-TCPP) nanozyme for the quantitative monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in biological fluids with pressure and temperature readouts. The Pt/Zn-TCPP nanozyme with catalytic and photothermal efficiencies was synthesized by means of integrating photosensitizers into porous materials. The flexible sensing system after the antigen-antibody reaction recognized the pressure using a flexible skin-like pressure sensor with a digital multimeter readout, whereas the temperature was acquired via the photoheat conversion system of the Pt/Zn-TCPP nanozyme under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation using a portable NIR imaging camera on a smartphone. Meanwhile, the dual-mode flexible sensing system was carried out on a homemade three-dimensional (3D)-printed device. Results revealed that the developed dual-mode immunosensing platform could exhibit good pressure and temperature responses within the dynamic range of 0.5-100 ng mL-1 CEA with the detection limits of 0.24 and 0.13 ng mL-1, respectively. In addition, the pressure and temperature were sensed simultaneously without crosstalk interference. Importantly, the dual-mode flexible immunosensing system can effectively avoid false alarms during the measurement, thus providing great potential for simple and low-cost development for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Highly responsive interface of semiconductor nanophotoelectrochemical materials provides a broad development prospect for the identification of low-abundance cancer marker molecules. This work innovatively proposes an efficient blank WO3/SnIn4S8 heterojunction interface formed by self-assembly on the working electrode for interface regulation and photoregulation. Different from the traditional biomolecular layered interface, a hydrogel layer containing manganese dioxide with a wide light absorption range is formed at the interface after an accurate response to external immune recognition. The formation of the hydrogel layer hinders the effective contact between the heterojunction interface and the electrolyte solution, and manganese dioxide in the hydrogel layer forms a strong competition between the light source and the substrate photoelectric material. The process effectively improves the carrier recombination efficiency at the interface, reduces the interface reaction kinetics and photoelectric conversion efficiency, and thus provides strong support for target identification. Taking advantage of the process, the resulting biosensors are being explored for sensitive detection of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, with a limit of detection as low as 0.037 pg/mL. Also, this study contributes to the advancement of photoelectrochemical biosensing technology and opens up new avenues for the development of sensitive and accurate analytical tools in the field of bioanalysis.

Abstract
Simultaneous sensitive and precise determination of multibiomarkers is of great significance for improving detection efficiency, reducing diagnosis and treatment expenses, and elevating survival rates. However, the development of simple and portable biosensors for simultaneous determination of multiplexed targets in biological fluids still faces challenges. Herein, a unique and versatile immobilization-free dual-target electrochemical biosensing platform, which combines distinguishable magnetic signal reporters with buoyancy-magnetism separation, was designed and constructed for simultaneous detection of carcinoembryonic (CEA) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) in intricate biological fluids. To construct such distinguishable magnetic signal reporters with signal transduction, amplification, and output, secondary antibodies of CEA and AFP were respectively functionalized on methylene blue (MB) and 6-(ferrocenyl)hexanethiol (FeC) modified Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanocomposites. Meanwhile, a multifunctional flotation probe with dual target recognition, capture, and isolation capability was prepared by conjugating primary antibodies (Ab1-CEA, Ab1-AFP) to hollow buoyant microspheres. The target antigens of CEA and AFP can trigger a flotation-mediated sandwich-type immunoreaction and capture a certain amount of the distinguishable magnetic signal reporter, which enables the conversion of the target CEA and AFP quantities to the signal of the potential-resolved MB and FeC. Thus, the MB and FeC currents of magnetically adsorbed distinguishable magnetic reporters can be used to determine the CEA and AFP targets simultaneously and precisely. Accordingly, the proposed strategy exhibited a delightful linear response for CEA and AFP in the range of 100 fg·mL-1-100 ng·mL-1 with detection limits of 33.34 and 17.02 fg·mL-1 (S/N = 3), respectively. Meanwhile, no significant nonspecific adsorption and cross-talk were observed. The biosensing platform has shown satisfactory performance in the determination of real clinical samples. More importantly, the proposed approach can be conveniently extended to universal detection just by simply substituting biorecognition events. Thus, this work opens up a new promising perspective for dual and even multiple targets and offers promising potential applications in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Quorum sensing signal molecule is an important biomarker released by some microorganisms, which can regulate the adhesion and aggregation of marine microorganisms on the surface of engineering facilities. Thus, it is significant to exploit a convenient method that can effectively monitor the formation and development of marine biofouling. In this work, an advanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptamer biosensing platform was established and firstly applied for the rapid and ultrasensitive determination of N-(3-Oxodecanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (3-O-C10-HL) released from marine fouling microorganism Ponticoccus sp. PD-2. The visible-light-driven Bi2WO6/Bi2S3 heterojunction derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) CAU-17 and self-screened aptamer were employed as the photoactive materials and bioidentification elements, respectively. Appropriate amount of MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with single-stranded DNA were introduced by hybridization to enhance the photocurrent response of the PEC biosensor. The self-screening aptamer can specifically recognize 3-O-C10-HL, accompanied by increasing the steric hindrance and forcing MoS2 QDs to leave the electrode surface, resulting in an obvious reduction of photocurrent and achieving a dual-inhibition signal amplification effect. Under the optimized conditions, the photocurrent response of PEC aptasensor was linear with 3-O-C10-HL concentration from 1 nM to 10 μM, and the detection limit was as low as 0.26 nM. The detection strategy also showed a high reproducibility, superior specificity and good stability. This work not only provides a simple, rapid and ultrasensitive PEC aptamer biosensing strategy for monitoring quorum sensing signal molecules in marine biofouling, but also broadens the application of MOFs-based heterojunctions in PEC sensors.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) presents a significant threat to human health. Herein, a novel method for detecting LPS was developed by coupling hybridization chain reaction (HCR), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) agglutination (AA) triggered by a Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry (CuAAC), and electrokinetic accumulation (EA) in a microfluidic chip, termed the HCR-AA-EA method. Thereinto, the LPS-binding aptamer (LBA) was coupled with the AuNP-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticle, which was connected with the polymer of H1 capped on CuO (H1-CuO) and H2-CuO. Upon LPS recognition by LBA, the polymers of H1- and H2-CuO were released into the solution, creating a "one LPS-multiple CuO" effect. Under ascorbic acid reduction, CuAAC was initiated between the alkyne and azide groups on the AuNPs' surface; then, the product was observed visually in the microchannel by EA. Finally, LPS was quantified by the integrated density of AuNP aggregates. The limit of detections were 29.9 and 127.2 fM for water samples and serum samples, respectively. The levels of LPS in the injections and serum samples by our method had a good correlation with those from the limulus amebocyte lysate test (r = 0.99), indicating high accuracy. Remarkably, to popularize our method, a low-cost, wall-power-free portable device was developed, enabling point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemistry represents a promising technique for bioanalysis, though its application for the detection of Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) has not been tapped. Herein, this work reports the exploration of creating oxygen vacancies (Ov) in situ onto the surface of Bi2O2S nanosheets via the attachment of dopamine (DA), which underlies a new anodic PEC sensing strategy for FEN1 detection in label-free, immobilization-free and high-throughput modes. In connection to the target-mediated rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction for modulating the release of the DA aptamer to capture DA, the detection system showed good performance toward FEN1 analysis with a linear detection range of 0.001-10 U/mL and a detection limit of 1.4 × 10-4 U/mL (S/N = 3). This work features the bioreaction engineered surface vacancy effect of Bi2O2S nanosheets as a PEC sensing strategy, which allows a simple, easy to perform, sensitive and selective method for the detection of FEN1. This sensing strategy might have wide applications in versatile bioasssays, considering the diversity of a variety of biological reactions may produce the DA aptamer.

Abstract
The highly infectious characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), highlight the necessity of sensitive and rapid nucleocapsid (N) protein-based antigen testing for early triage and epidemic management. In this study, a colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform for the rapid and sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 N protein was developed based on gold nanorods (GNRs), which possessed tunable local surface plasma resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks from UV-visible to near-infrared (NIR). The LSPR peak was adjusted to match the NIR emission laser 808 nm by controlling the length-to-diameter ratio, which could maximize the photothermal conversion efficiency and achieve photothermal detection signal amplification. Qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein was achieved by observing the strip color, and the limit of detection was 2 ng mL-1, while that for photothermal detection was 0.096 ng mL-1. Artificial saliva samples spiked with the N protein were analyzed with the recoveries ranging from 84.38% to 107.72%. The intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 6.76% and 10.39%, respectively. We further evaluated the reliability of this platform by detecting 40 clinical samples collected from nasal swabs, and the results matched well with that of nucleic acid detection (87.5%). This method shows great promise in early disease diagnosis and screening.

Abstract
A photoelectrochemical sensor for target detection of hydrogen peroxide was designed based on a new heterojunction nanocomposite which was sulfhydryl-borate ester-modified A1/B1-type pillar[5]arene (BP5)-functionalized Au NPs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes hybridized with bismuth bromide oxide (Au@BP5/MWNTs-BiOBr). The specific sensor was based on the direct induction of oxidation by hydrogen peroxide of the borate ester group of pillar[5]arene. Additionally, the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au NPs enhanced visible light capture, the host-guest complexation of BP5 with H2O2 enhanced photocurrent response, the layer-by-layer stacked nanoflower structure of BiOBr provided large specific surface area with more active sites, and the conductivity of MWNTs enhanced the charge separation efficiency and significantly improves the stability of PEC. Their synthesis effect significantly increased the photocurrent signal and further enhanced the detection result. Under the optimal conditions, the linear concentration range of H2O2 detected by the Au@BP5/MWNTs-BiOBr sensor was from 1 to 60 pmol/L. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method were 0.333 pmol/L and 1 pmol/L, respectively, and the sensitivity was 6.471 pmol/L. Importantly, the PEC sensor has good stability, reproducibility, and interference resistance and can be used for the detection of hydrogen peroxide in real cells.

Abstract
An innovative nanozyme, iron-doped polydopamine (Fe-PDA), which integrates iron ions into a PDA matrix, conferred peroxidase-mimetic activity and achieved a substantial photothermal conversion efficiency of 43.5 %. Fe-PDA mediated the catalysis of H2O2 to produce toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby facilitating lipid peroxidation in tumour cells and inducing ferroptosis. Downregulation of solute carrier family 7 no. 11 (SLC7A11) and solute carrier family 3 no. 2 (SLC3A2) in System Xc- resulted in decreased intracellular glutathione (GSH) production and inactivation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway, contributing to ferroptosis. Moreover, the application of photothermal therapy (PTT) enhanced the effectiveness of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), accelerating the Fenton reaction for targeted tumour eradication while sparing adjacent non-cancerous tissues. In vivo experiments revealed that Fe-PDA significantly hampered tumour progression in mice, emphasizing the potential of the dual-modality treatment combining CDT and PTT for future clinical oncology applications.

Abstract
Accurate measurement of cancer markers in urine is a convenient method for tumor monitoring. However, the concentration of cancer markers in urine is so low that it is difficult to achieve their measurement. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors are a promising technology to realize the detection of trace cancer markers due to their high sensitivity. Currently, the interference of nonspecific biomolecules in urine is the main reason affecting the high sensitivity and selectivity of PEC sensors in detecting cancer markers. In this work, a strategy of oxygen vacancy (OV) modulation is proposed to construct a fouling-resistant PEC aptamer sensing platform for the detection of α-fetoprotein (AFP), a liver cancer marker. The introduction of OVs induces the formation of intermediate localized states in the photoelectric material, which not only facilitates the separation of photogenerated carriers but also leads to the redshift of the light absorption edge. More importantly, OVs with positive electrical properties can be employed to modify the antifouling layer (C-PEG) with negatively charged groups through an electrostatic interaction. The synergistic effect of OVs, antifouling layer, and aptamer resulted in a TiO2/OVs/C-PEG-based PEC sensor achieves a wide linear range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.3 pg/mL for AFP. In addition, the sensor successfully realized the determination of AFP in urine samples and accurately differentiated between normal people and liver cancer patients in the early and advanced stages. This project is of great significance in advancing the application of photoelectrochemical bioanalytical technology to achieve the detection of cancer markers in urine by investigating the construction of an OVs-regulated fouling-resistant sensing interface.

Abstract
Limiting and preventing oral diseases remains a major challenge to the health of populations around the world, so finding ways to detect early-stage diseases (e.g., caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer) and aiding in their prevention has always been an important clinical treatment concept. The development and application of electrochemical detection technology can provide important support for the early detection and non-invasive diagnosis of oral diseases and make up for the shortcomings of traditional diagnostic methods, which are highly sensitive, non-invasive, cost-effective, and less labor-intensive. It detects specific disease markers in body fluids through electrochemical reactions, discovers early warning signals of diseases, and realizes rapid and reliable diagnosis. This paper comprehensively summarizes the development and application of electrochemical biosensors in the detection and diagnosis of common oral diseases in terms of application platforms, sensing types, and disease detection, and discusses the challenges faced by electrochemical biosensors in the detection of oral diseases as well as the great prospects for future applications, in the hope of providing important insights for the future development of electrochemical biosensors for the early detection of oral diseases.

Abstract
Labile toxic pollutants detection remains a challenge due to the problem that a single method is prone to producing false-negative/-positive signals. The construction of a multisignal sensing platform with the advantages of different strategies is an effective way to solve this problem. Herein, a novel resonant light scattering (RLS), fluorescent and rapid visual multisignals sensing strategy for p-aminophenol (p-AP) detection was designed based on the adsorption and oxidation effects of defective amino-functionalized Ag-based nano metal-organic frameworks (NH2-Ag-nMOFs). In this reaction process, NH2-Ag-nMOFs with incomplete coordination oxidize H2O2 to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) which rapidly oxidizes p-AP, leading to the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0, thereby disrupting the structure of NH2-Ag-nMOFs and resulting in fluorescence quenching of NH2-Ag-nMOFs. Synchronously, owing to Ag0 aggregation and p-AP oxidation, the color of the system changed from colorless to purplish-red and pale brown within 20 s. The assay has realized the rapid naked-eye detection of 5 μM p-AP rapidly. Additionally, thanks to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, NH2-Ag-nMOFs-p-AP aggregates formed, which enhanced the RLS signal. With the RLS signal, the designed multisignals sensing platform can analyze p-AP at a concentration as low as 11 nM and yield a wider dynamic response range than any single signal strategy reported before, which can quickly meet the measurement requirement of different actual samples. Overall, the proposed strategy without assembling various signal indicators presented an accurate, rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive multisignals sensing platform for p-AP analysis and has great prospects in labile toxic pollutants monitoring.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) has attracted great interest because of its prominent advantages of rapidness, precision, portability, and real-time monitoring, thus becoming a powerful biomedical device in early clinical diagnosis and convenient medical treatments. However, its complicated manufacturing process and high expense severely impede mass production and broad applications. Herein, an innovative but inexpensive integrated sandwich-paper three-dimensional (3D) cell sensing device is fabricated to in situ wirelessly detect H2O2 released from living cells. The paper-based electrochemical sensing device was constructed by a sealed sandwiched bottom plastic film/fiber paper/top hole-centered plastic film that was printed with patterned electrodes. A new (Fe, Mn)3(PO4)2/N-doped carbon nanorod was developed and immobilized on the sensing carbon electrode while cell culture solution filled the exposed fiber paper, allowing living cells to grow on the fiber paper surrounding the electrode. Due to the significantly shortening diffusion distance to access the sensing sites by such a unique device and a rationally tuned ratio of Fe2+/Mn2+, the device exhibits a fast response time (0.2 s), a low detection limit (0.4 μM), and a wide detection range (2-3200 μM). This work offers great promise for a low-cost and highly sensitive POCT device for practical clinic diagnosis and broad POCT biomedical applications.

Abstract
In the past several decades, Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing still remains a great challenge to design highly-efficient semiconductor photocatalysts via a facile method. It is of much importance to design and synthesize various novel nanostructured sensing materials for further improving the response performance. Herein, we present an In2 O3 /In2 S3 heterostructure obtained by combining microwave assisted hydrothermal method with S-induced phase change, whose energy band and electronic structure could be adjusted by changing the S content. Combining theoretical calculation and spectroscopic techniques, the introduction of sulfur was proved to produce multifunctional interfaces, inducing the change of phase, oxygen vacancies and band gap, which accelerates the separation of photoexcited carriers and reduces their recombination, improving the electronic injection efficiency around the interface of In2 O3 /In2 S3 . As anticipated, an enhanced glucose response performance with a photocurrent of 0.6 mA cm-2 , a linear range of 0.1-1 mM and a detection limit as low as 14.5 μM has been achieved based on the In2 O3 /In2 S3 heterostructure, which is significant superior over its pure In2 O3 and S-doped In2 O3 counterparts. This efficient interfacial strategy may open a new route to manipulate the electrical structure, and energy band structure regulation of sensing material to improve the performance of photoelectrodes for PEC.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and facile detection of low levels of protein markers is of great significance for the early diagnosis and efficacy monitoring of diseases. Herein, aided by an efficient tyramine-signal amplification (TSA) mechanism, we wish to report a simple but ultrasensitive immunoassay with signal readout on a portable personal glucose meter (PGM). In this study, the bioconjugates of tyramine and invertase (Tyr-inv), which act as the critical bridge to convert and amplify the protein concentration information into glucose, are prepared following a click chemistry reaction. Then, in the presence of a target protein, the sandwich immunoreaction between the immobilized capture antibody, the target protein, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated detection antibody is specifically performed in a 96-well microplate. Subsequently, the specifically loaded HRP-conjugated detection antibodies will catalyze the amplified deposition of a large number of Tyr-inv molecules onto adjacent proteins through highly efficient TSA. Then, the deposited invertase, whose dosage can faithfully reflect the original concentration of the target protein, can efficiently convert sucrose to glucose. The amount of finally produced glucose is simply quantified by the PGM, realizing the highly sensitive detection of trace protein markers such as the carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha fetoprotein antigen at the fg/mL level. This method is simple, cost-effective, and ultrasensitive without the requirement of sophisticated instruments or specialized laboratory equipment, which may provide a universal and promising technology for highly sensitive immunoassay for in vitro diagnosis of diseases.
