Abstract
With their intricate design, nanoparticles (NPs) have become indispensable tools in the quest for precise cellular targeting. Among various NPs, gold NPs stand out with unique features such as chemical stability, biocompatibility, adjustable shape, and size-dependent optical properties, making them particularly promising for molecular detection by leveraging the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Their multiplexing abilities for the simultaneous identification of multiple biomarkers are important in the rapidly evolving landscape of diverse cellular phenotypes and biomolecular profiling. However, the challenge is ensuring that SERS NPs can effectively target specific cells and biomarkers among intricate cell types and biomolecules with high specificity. In this study, we improve the functionalization of SERS NPs, optimizing their targeting efficiency in cellular applications for ca. 160 nm NP-based probes. Spherical SERS NPs, conjugated with antibodies targeting epidermal growth factor receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, were incubated with cells overexpressing these proteins, and their specific binding potential was quantified at each stage by using flow cytometry to achieve optimal targeting efficiency. We determined that maintaining an average of 3.5 × 105 thiols per NP, 300 antibodies per NP, 18,000 NPs per cell, conducting a 15 min staining incubation at 4 °C in a shaker, and using SM(PEG)12 as a cross-linker for the NP conjugation were crucial to achieve the highest targeting efficiency. Fluorescence and Raman imaging were used with these parameters to observe the maximum ability of these NPs to efficiently target suspended cells. These highly sensitive contrast agents demonstrate their pivotal role in effective active targeting, making them invaluable for multiplexing applications across diverse biological environments.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive diagnostics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of utmost importance to control the widespread coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upsurge. This study demonstrated a novel one-pot surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based immunoassay to detect SARS-CoV-2, without any washing process using a portable Raman spectrometer. The SERS-immune assay was designed using a regular digital versatile disk (DVD) substrate integrated with Raman reporter labeled silver nanoparticles for double clamping effects. The disks were molded to form nanopillar arrays and coated with silver film to enhance the sensitivity of immunoassay. The SERS platform demonstrated a limit of detection (LoD) up to 50 pg mL-1 for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and virus-like-particle (VLP) protein in phosphate buffer saline within a turnaround time of 20 minutes. Moreover, VLP protein spiked in untreated saliva achieved an LoD of 400 pg mL-1, providing a cycle threshold (Ct) value range of 30-32, closer to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results (35-40) and higher than the commercial rapid antigen tests, ranging from 25-28. Therefore, the developed one-pot SERS based biosensor exhibited highly sensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2, which could be a potential point-of-care platform for early and cost-effective diagnosis of the COVID-19 virus.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and monitoring are essential for the effective treatment and survival of patients with different types of malignancy. To this end, the accurate and sensitive determination of substances in human biological fluids related to cancer diagnosis and/or prognosis, i.e., cancer biomarkers, is of ultimate importance. Advancements in the field of immunodetection and nanomaterials have enabled the application of new transduction approaches for the sensitive detection of single or multiple cancer biomarkers in biological fluids. Immunosensors based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are examples where the special properties of nanostructured materials and immunoreagents are combined to develop analytical tools that hold promise for point-of-care applications. In this frame, the subject of this review article is to present the advancements made so far regarding the immunochemical determination of cancer biomarkers by SERS. Thus, after a short introduction about the principles of both immunoassays and SERS, an extended presentation of up-to-date works regarding both single and multi-analyte determination of cancer biomarkers is presented. Finally, future perspectives on the field of SERS immunosensors for cancer markers detection are briefly discussed.

[PMID: 36831977 PMCID: PMC9953484 DOI: 10.3390/bios13020212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Both the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and Phosphatidylinositol 3 Kinase (PI3K) protein content are two crucial parameters for characterizing states of cell apoptosis. Current methods measure these parameters with two different techniques, respectively, which usually lead to evaluation contingency. Ginsenoside Rg3 exhibits an excellent anticancer effect, which is enacted by the Phosphatidylinositol 3 Kinase/Protein Kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway involving ROS; however, the precise mechanism that induces cell apoptosis remains unknown. This is due to the lack of information on quantitative intracellular ROS and PI3K. Here, we used a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based boric acid nanoprobe to monitor the intracellular ROS level and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) content, which reflects the regulatory effect of the PI3K/Akt pathway. After treatment with ginsenoside Rg3, the PI3K/Akt content first increased and then decreased as the ROS level increased. Moreover, when the ROS level significantly increased, the mitochondrial membrane potential reduced, thus indicating the dynamic regulation effect of intracellular ROS level on the PI3K/Akt pathway. Importantly, in addition to avoiding evaluation contingency, which is caused by measuring the aforementioned parameters with two different techniques, this SERS-based dual-parameter monitoring nanoprobe provides an effective solution for simultaneous ROS level and PI3K content measurements during cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the intracellular ROS level was also able to have a dynamic regulatory effect on the PI3K/Akt pathway, which is essential for studying ROS/PI3K/Akt-pathway-related cell apoptosis and its activation mechanism.

Abstract
Cancer has been one of the most prevalent diseases around the world for many years. Its biomarkers are biological molecules found in the blood or other body fluids of people with cancer diseases. These biomarkers play a crucial role not only in the diagnosis of cancer diseases, but also in risk assessment, selection of treatment methods, and tracking its progress. Therefore, highly sensitive and selective detection and determination of cancer biomarkers are essential from the perspective of oncological diagnostics and planning the treatment process. Immunosensors are special types of biosensors that are based on the recognition of an analyte (antigen) by an antibody. Sandwich immunosensors apply two antibodies: a capture antibody and a detection antibody, with the antigen ‘sandwiched’ between them. Immunosensors’ advantages include not only high sensitivity and selectivity, but also flexible application and reusability. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, known also as the sensitive and selective method, uses the enhancement of light scattering by analyte molecules adsorbed on a nanostructured surface. The combination of immunosensors with the SERS technique further improves their analytical parameters. In this article, we followed the recent achievements in the field of sandwich SERS immunosensors for cancer biomarker detection and/or determination.

Abstract
The exploration of the plasmonic field enhancement of nanoprobes consisting of gold and magnetic core@gold shell nanoparticles has found increasing application for the development of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors. The understanding of factors controlling the electromagnetic field enhancement, as a result of the plasmonic field enhancement of the nanoprobes in SERS biosensing applications, is critical for the design and preparation of the optimal nanoprobes. This report describes findings from theoretical calculations of the electromagnetic field intensity of dimer models of gold and magnetic core@gold shell nanoparticles in immunoassay SERS detection of biomarkers. The electromagnetic field intensities for a series of dimeric nanoprobes with antibody–antigen–antibody binding defined interparticle distances were examined in terms of nanoparticle sizes, core–shell sizes, and interparticle spacing. The results reveal that the electromagnetic field enhancement not only depended on the nanoparticle size and the relative core size and shell thicknesses of the magnetic core@shell nanoparticles but also strongly on the interparticle spacing. Some of the dependencies are also compared with experimental data from SERS detection of selected cancer biomarkers, showing good agreement. The findings have implications for the design and optimization of functional nanoprobes for SERS-based biosensors.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows specific chemical information to be obtained from various types of sample. The detailed molecular information that is present in Raman spectra permits monitoring of biochemical changes that occur in diseases, such as cancer, and can be used for the early detection and diagnosis of the disease, for monitoring treatment, and to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous biological samples. Several techniques have been developed to enhance the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy by improving detection sensitivity, reducing imaging times and increasing the potential applicability for in vivo analysis. The different Raman techniques each have their own advantages that can accommodate the alternative detection formats, allowing the techniques to be applied in several ways for the detection and diagnosis of cancer. This feature article discusses the various forms of Raman spectroscopy, how they have been applied for cancer detection, and the adaptation of the techniques towards their use for in vivo cancer detection and in clinical diagnostics. Despite the advances in Raman spectroscopy, the clinical application of the technique is still limited and certain challenges must be overcome to enable clinical translation. We provide an outlook on the future of the techniques in this area and what we believe is required to allow the potential of Raman spectroscopy to be achieved for clinical cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
Safe administration of highly cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs is a challenging problem in cancer treatment due to the adverse side effects and collateral damage to non-tumorigenic cells. To mitigate these problems, promising new approaches, based on the paradigm of controlled targeted drug delivery (TDD), and utilizing drug nanocarriers with biorecognition ability to selectively target neoplastic cells, are being considered in cancer therapy. Herein, we report on the design and testing of a nanoparticle-grid based biosensing platform to aid in the development of new targeted drug nanocarriers. The proposed sensor grid consists of superparamagnetic gold-coated core-shell Fe2Ni@Au nanoparticles, further functionalized with folic acid targeting ligand, model thiolated chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX), and a biocompatibility agent, 3,6-dioxa-octanethiol (DOOT). The employed dual transduction method based on electrochemical and enhanced Raman scattering detection has enabled efficient monitoring of the drug loading onto the nanocarriers, attaching to the sensor surface, as well as the drug release under simulated intracellular conditions. The grid's nanoparticles serve here as the model nanocarriers for new TDD systems under design and optimization. The superparamagnetic properties of the Fe2Ni@Au NPs aid in nanoparticles' handling and constructing a dense sensor grid with high plasmonic enhancement of the Raman signals due to the minimal interparticle distance.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) are known as one of the most common tumor markers. Their facile and affordable detection is critical for early diagnosis of malignant tumors, especially in resource-constrained settings. Here, we report a novel multimer-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor for a specific CEA assay. The aptasensor is fabricated through aptamer-assisted self-assembly of silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs), and the self-assembled multimeric structure possesses abundant hot-spots to provide high SERS response. When CEA is introduced, the specific recognition of CEA by aptamers will lead to the disassembly of Au@Ag multimers due to the lack of a bridging aptamer between Au@Ag NPs. As a result, the number of hot-spots in the multimeric system is decreased, and the intensity at 1585 cm-1 of the SERS reporter (4-mercaptobenzoic acid, 4-MBA) on the surface of NPs will also be decreased. The Raman intensity is proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of CEA. The detection sensitivity can be down to the pg mL-1 level. The analytical method only needs a droplet of 2 μL of sample, and the detection time is less than 20 min. The multimer-based SERS aptasensor can be applied in sensitive and inexpensive detection of CEA in serum samples.

Abstract
The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, that uses magnetic plasmonic particles (MPPs), is an advanced SERS detection platform owing to the synergetic effects of the particles’ magnetic and plasmonic properties. As well as being an ultrasensitive and reliable SERS material, MPPs perform various functions, such as aiding in separation, drug delivery, and acting as a therapeutic material. This literature discusses the structure and multifunctionality of MPPs, which has enabled the novel application of MPPs to various biological fields.

Abstract
The interactions of chemotherapeutic drugs with nanocage protein apoferritin (APO) are the key features in the effective encapsulation and release of highly toxic drugs in APO-based controlled drug delivery systems. The encapsulation enables mitigating the drugs' side effects, collateral damage to healthy cells, and adverse immune reactions. Herein, the interactions of anthracycline drugs with APO were studied to assess the effect of drug lipophilicity on their encapsulation excess n and in vitro activity. Anthracycline drugs, including doxorubicin (DOX), epirubicin (EPI), daunorubicin (DAU), and idarubicin (IDA), with lipophilicity P from 0.8 to 15, were investigated. We have found that in addition to hydrogen-bonded supramolecular ensemble formation with n = 24, there are two other competing contributions that enable increasing n under strong polar interactions (APO(DOX)) or under strong hydrophobic interactions (APO(IDA) of the highest efficacy). The encapsulation/release processes were investigated using UV-Vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and FTIR spectroscopies. The in vitro cytotoxicity/growth inhibition tests and flow cytometry corroborate high apoptotic activity of APO(drugs) against targeted MDA-MB-231 adenocarcinoma and HeLa cells, and low activity against healthy MCF10A cells, demonstrating targeting ability of nanodrugs. A model for molecular interactions between anthracyclines and APO nanocarriers was developed, and the relationships derived compared with experimental results.

Abstract
ConspectusMultimetallic nanomaterials containing noble metals (NM) and non-noble 3d-transition metals (3d-TMs) exhibit unique catalytic properties as a result of the synergistic combination of NMs and 3d-TMs in the nanostructure. The exploration of such a synergy depends heavily on the understanding of the atomic-scale structural details of NMs and 3d-TMs in the nanomaterials. This has attracted a great deal of recent interest in the field of catalysis science, especially concerning the core-shell and alloy nanostructures. A rarely asked question of fundamental significance is how the core-shell and alloy structural arrangements of atoms in the multimetallic nanomaterials dynamically change under reaction conditions, including reaction temperature, surface adsorbate, chemical environment, applied electrochemical potential, etc. The dynamic evolution of the core-shell/alloy structures under the reaction conditions plays a crucial role in the catalytic performance of the multimetallic nanocatalysts.This Account focuses on the dynamic structure characteristics for several different types of composition-tunable alloy and core-shell nanomaterials, including phase-segregated, elemental-enriched, dynamically evolved, and structurally different core-shell structures. In addition to outlining core-shell/alloy structure formation via processes such as seed-mediated growth, thermochemical calcination, adsorbate-induced evolution, chemical dealloying, underpotential deposition/galvanic displacement, etc., this Account will highlight the progress in understanding the dynamic core-shell/alloy structures under chemical or catalytic reaction conditions, which has become an important focal point of the research fronts in catalysis and electrocatalysis. The employment of advanced techniques, especially in situ/operando synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function analyses, has provided significant insights into the dynamic evolution processes of NM/3d-TM nanocatalysts under electrocatalytic or fuel cell operating conditions. Examples will highlight Pt- or Pd-based nanoparticles and nanowires alloyed with various 3d-TMs with a focus on their structural evolution under reaction conditions. While the dynamic process is complex, the ability to gain an insight into the evolution of core-shell and alloy structures under the catalytic reaction condition is essential for advancing the design of multimetallic nanocatalysts. This Account serves as a springboard from fundamental understanding of the core-shell and alloy structural dynamics to the various applications of nanostructured catalysts/electrocatalysts, especially in the fronts of energy and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is an integral tool to mitigate the unnecessary use of powerful and broad-spectrum antibiotics that leads to the proliferation of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Using a sensor platform composed of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors with control of nanogap chemistry and machine learning algorithms for analysis of complex spectral data, bacteria metabolic profiles post antibiotic exposure are correlated with susceptibility. Deep neural network models are able to discriminate the responses of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotics from untreated cells in SERS data in 10 min after antibiotic exposure with greater than 99% accuracy. Deep learning analysis is also able to differentiate responses from untreated cells with antibiotic dosages up to 10-fold lower than the minimum inhibitory concentration observed in conventional growth assays. In addition, analysis of SERS data using a generative model, a variational autoencoder, identifies spectral features in the P. aeruginosa lysate data associated with antibiotic efficacy. From this insight, a combinatorial dataset of metabolites is selected to extend the latent space of the variational autoencoder. This culture-free dataset dramatically improves classification accuracy to select effective antibiotic treatment in 30 min. Unsupervised Bayesian Gaussian mixture analysis achieves 99.3% accuracy in discriminating between susceptible versus resistant to antibiotic cultures in SERS using the extended latent space. Discriminative and generative models rapidly provide high classification accuracy with small sets of labeled data, which enormously reduces the amount of time needed to validate phenotypic AST with conventional growth assays. Thus, this work outlines a promising approach toward practical rapid AST.

Abstract
This paper presents a new cell culture platform enabling label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis of biological samples. The platform integrates a multilayered metal-insulator-metal nanolaminated SERS substrate and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) multiwells for the simultaneous analysis of cultured cells. Multiple cell lines, including breast normal and cancer cells and prostate cancer cells, were used to validate the applicability of this unique platform. The cell lines were cultured in different wells. The Raman spectra of over 100 cells from each cell line were collected and analyzed after 12 h of introducing the cells to the assay. The unique Raman spectra of each cell line yielded biomarkers for identifying cancerous and normal cells. A kernel-based machine learning algorithm was used to extract the high-dimensional variables from the Raman spectra. Specifically, the nonnegative garrote on a kernel machine classifier is a hybrid approach with a mixed nonparametric model that considers the nonlinear relationships between the higher-dimension variables. The breast cancer cell lines and normal breast epithelial cells were distinguished with an accuracy close to 90%. The prediction rate between breast cancer cells and prostate cancer cells reached 94%. Four blind test groups were used to evaluate the prediction power of the SERS spectra. The peak intensities at the selected Raman shifts of the testing groups were selected and compared with the training groups used in the machine learning algorithm. The blind testing groups were correctly predicted 100% of the time, demonstrating the applicability of the multiwell SERS array for analyzing cell populations for cancer research.

Abstract
Mitoxantrone (MTX), one representative of anthraquinone ring anticancer drugs, reveals excellent anticancer effects in acute leukemia. Though current studies have shown that MTX-induced acute leukemia cell apoptosis is implemented by inserting into DNA, and then leading to DNA breakage and the subsequent transcription termination, but the specific location information of MTX embedded in DNA remains unknown. In this study, combining surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and principal component analysis (PCA), we achieve the biochemical changes of MTX-induced Jurkat cell apoptosis and the location information of MTX embedded in DNA. In contrast, we also present the corresponding result of Daunorubicin (DNR)-induced Jurkat cell apoptosis. It is found that the location of MTX embedded in DNA of Jurkat cell is different from DNR, in which the action site of MTX is mainly implemented by blocking and destroying AT base pairs while DNR is performed by embedding and destroying GC base pairs and then the base A. Clearly, this achieved information is very useful for the designing and modification of anthraquinone ring anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The field of nanomedicine has recently emerged as a product of the expansion of a range of nanotechnologies into biomedical science, pharmacology and clinical practice. Due to the unique properties of nanoparticles and the related nanostructures, their applications to medical diagnostics, imaging, controlled drug and gene delivery, monitoring of therapeutic outcomes, and aiding in medical interventions, provide a new perspective for challenging problems in such demanding issues as those involved in the treatment of cancer or debilitating neurological diseases. In this review, we evaluate the role and contributions that the applications of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have made to various aspects of nanomedicine, including the newest magnetic particle imaging (MPI) technology allowing for outstanding spatial and temporal resolution that enables targeted contrast enhancement and real-time assistance during medical interventions. We also evaluate the applications of MNPs to the development of targeted drug delivery systems with magnetic field guidance/focusing and controlled drug release that mitigate chemotherapeutic drugs’ side effects and damage to healthy cells. These systems enable tackling of multiple drug resistance which develops in cancer cells during chemotherapeutic treatment. Furthermore, the progress in development of ROS- and heat-generating magnetic nanocarriers and magneto-mechanical cancer cell destruction, induced by an external magnetic field, is also discussed. The crucial roles of MNPs in the development of biosensors and microfluidic paper array devices (µPADs) for the detection of cancer biomarkers and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are also assessed. Future challenges concerning the role and contributions of MNPs to the progress in nanomedicine have been outlined.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for label-free detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a cancer biomarker. The designed immunosensor was based on CEA antibody (anti-CEA) anchored with core shell Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles which were immobilized on a screen-printed carbon electrode modified with manganese dioxide decorating on graphene nanoplatelets (SPCE/GNP-MnO2/Fe3O4@Au-antiCEA). The SPCE was placed onto a home-made electrode holder for easy handling. The approach was based on direct binding of CEA to a fixed amount of anti-CEA on the modified electrode for the specific detection using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) monitored in a solution containing 5 mM [Fe(CN)63-/4-] prepared in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. The difference in signal response owing to the redox reaction of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- before and after interaction with CEA was regarded as the immunosensor response corresponding directly to the CEA concentration. Under optimized conditions, the linear range of 0.001-100 ng/mL, and the detection limits of 0.10 pg/mL (LSV) and 0.30 pg/mL (EIS) were evaluated. The applicability of the immunosensor was verified by well-corresponding determination of CEA in diluted human serum samples by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay. Therefore, the proposed immunosensor could be suitable enough for a real sample analysis of CEA.

Abstract
: Nanomaterial biosensors have revolutionized the entire scientific, technology, biomedical, materials science, and engineering fields. Among all nanomaterials, magnetic nanoparticles, microparticles, and beads are unique in offering facile conjugation of biorecognition probes for selective capturing of any desired analytes from complex real sample matrices (e.g., biofluids such as whole blood, serum, urine and saliva, tissues, food, and environmental samples). In addition, rapid separation of the particle-captured analytes by the simple use of a magnet for subsequent detection on a sensor unit makes the magnetic particle sensor approach very attractive. The easy magnetic isolation feature of target analytes is not possible with other inorganic particles, both metallic (e.g., gold) and non-metallic (e.g., silica), which require difficult centrifugation and separation steps. Magnetic particle biosensors have thus enabled ultra-low detection with ultra-high sensitivity that has traditionally been achieved only by radioactive assays and other tedious optical sources. Moreover, when traditional approaches failed to selectively detect low-concentration analytes in complex matrices (e.g., colorimetric, electrochemistry, and optical methods), magnetic particle-incorporated sensing strategies enabled sample concentration into a defined microvolume of large surface area particles for a straightforward detection. The objective of this article is to highlight the ever-growing applications of magnetic materials for the detection of analytes present in various real sample matrices. The central idea of this paper was to show the versatility and advantages of using magnetic particles for a variety of sample matrices and analyte types and the adaptability of different transducers with the magnetic particle approaches.

Abstract
Quantification of plasma membrane proteins (PMPs) is crucial for understanding the fundamentals of cellular signaling systems and their related diseases. In this work, a super-quadruplex scaffold was designed to regulate assembly of oligonucleotide-grafted AIEgens for detection of PMPs. The nonfluorescence oligonucleotide-grafted AIEgen (Oligo-AIEgen) was firstly synthesized by attaching the AIEgen to 3'-terminus of the oligonucleotide through click chemistry. Meanwhile, the tetramolecular hairpin-conjugated super-quadruplex (THP-G4) as cleavage element and signal enhancement scaffold composited of three elements: a substrate sequence of DNAzyme in the loop region, partial hybridization region in the stem, and six guanine nucleotides to form G-quadruplex. Once the DNAzyme was anchored on the specific PMPs through aptamer-protein recognition, the substrate sequence on the loop of THP-G4 was cleaved by DNAzyme with the aid of cofactor MnII, resulting in the conformation switch of THP-G4 to the activated G-quadruplex scaffold. The latter could assemble Oligo-AIEgens to generate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) enhancement, resulting in a simple and sensitive strategy for detection of membrane proteins. Moreover, the DNAzyme continuously cut the next THP-G4 to achieve recycling amplification. Under the optimized conditions, this AIE-based strategy exhibited good linear relationship with the logarithm of MUC1 concentration from 0.01 to 10 μg mL-1 with the limit of detection down to 4.3 ng mL-1. The G4-assembled AIEgens provides a universal platform for detecting various biomolecules and a proof-of concept for AIE biosensing.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are widely used as tumor markers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Herein, a multiple signal amplification sandwich-type SERS biosensor for femtomolar detection of miRNA is reported. The signal unit consisted of giant Au vesicles, DNA sequences and deposited silver nanoparticles. The giant Au vesicles provided large-volume hot spots because of sharp tips and abundant hotspot gaps, thus enhancing the electromagnetic intensity for the SERS performance. Further silver stain would easily lead to second-stage amplification of Raman signal. In addition, more SERS signal molecules R6G adsorbed on the signal unit with the aid of HCR and the controlled nanogaps between adjacent AgNPs, brought about the third-stage amplification. The capture unit, prepared by immobilizing the capture probe (CP) on the Fe3O4@AuNPs, could easily capture target miRNA and greatly simplify the separation step to improve reproducibility. The higher concentration of target miRNA definitely formed more sandwich-type structures with combination of capture unit and signal unit, resulting in multiple amplification of SERS signals. The proposed multiple signal amplification sandwich-type SERS biosensor could detect miRNA-141 at the femtomolar level with a low detection limit of 0.03 fM. Meanwhile, it exhibited high selectivity and accuracy, even for practical analysis in human serum. Therefore, the designed multiple signal amplification sandwich-type SERS biosensor would be a very promising alternative tool for the detection of miRNA and analogs in the field of biomedical diagnosis.

Abstract
Diagnosis of lung cancer patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs) presents a significant clinical challenge, with morbidity and management costs of $28 billion/year. We show that a quantitative free-solution assay (FSA), coupled with a compensated interferometric reader (CIR), improves the diagnostic performance of CYFRA 21-1 as a lung cancer biomarker. FSA-CIR is a rapid, mix-and-read, isothermal, label- and enzyme-free, matrix-insensitive, and target and probe-agnostic assay. Operating FSA-CIR at ∼40, 0.75 μL samples/day delivered a serum CYFRA 21-1 limit of quantification (LOQ) of 81 pg/mL with intra-assay and interassay CVs of 4.9% and 9.6% for four-day replicate determinations. Blinded analysis of a 225 patient cohort, consisting of 75 nonmalignant nodules, 45 adenocarcinomas, 44 squamous cell carcinomas, and 61 small cell lung cancers, gave a clear separation of cases and controls, not observed in the Cobas ECL analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) for the Mayo model increased from 0.595 to 0.923 when combined with the FSA-CIR CYFRA 21-1 measurements. In a population with nodules between 6 and 30 mm, the AUC increased from 0.567 to 0.943. In this subgroup, the positive predictive value (PPV) for all tumors by the CYFRA 21-1 assay was 98.7%. Our results demonstrate increased performance of the CYFRA 21-1 assay using FSA-CIR and represents a proof of concept for redefining the performance characteristics of this important candidate biomarker.

Abstract
Environmental pollution, a major problem worldwide, poses considerable threat to human health and ecological environment. Efficient and reliable detection technologies, which focus on the appearance of emerging environmental and trace pollutants, are urgently needed. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has become an attractive analytical tool for sensing trace targets in environmental field because of its inherent molecular fingerprint specificity and high sensitivity. In this review, we focused on the recent developments in the integration of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with SERS for facilitating sensitive detection of environmental pollutants. An overview and classification of different types of MNPs for SERS detection were initially provided, enabling us to categorize the huge amount of literature that was available in the interdisciplinary research field of MNPs based SERS technology. Then, the basic working principles and applications of MNPs in SERS detection were presented. Subsequently, the detection technologies integrating MNPs with SERS that eventually were used for the detection of various environmental pollutions were reviewed. Finally, the advantages of MNP-basedSERS detection technology for environmental pollutants were concluded, and the current challenges and future outlook of this technology in practical applications were highlighted. The application of the MNPs-basedSERS techniques for environmental analysis will be significantly advanced with the great progresses of the nanotechnologies, optics, and materials.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectrocopy (SERS) offers ultrasensitive vibrational fingerprinting at the nanoscale. Its non-destructive nature affords an ideal tool for interrogation of the intracellular environment, detecting the localisation of biomolecules, delivery and monitoring of therapeutics and for characterisation of complex cellular processes at the molecular level. Innovations in nanotechnology have produced a wide selection of novel, purpose-built plasmonic nanostructures capable of high SERS enhancement for intracellular probing while microfluidic technologies are being utilised to reproducibly synthesise nanoparticle (NP) probes at large scale and in high throughput. Sophisticated multivariate analysis techniques unlock the wealth of previously unattainable biomolecular information contained within large and multidimensional SERS datasets. Thus, with suitable combination of experimental techniques and analytics, SERS boasts enormous potential for cell based assays and to expand our understanding of the intracellular environment. In this review we trace the pathway to utilisation of nanomaterials for intracellular SERS. Thus we review and assess nanoparticle synthesis methods, their toxicity and cell interactions before presenting significant developments in intracellular SERS methodologies and how identified challenges can be addressed.

Abstract
Plasmonics-based biosensing assays have been extensively employed for biomedical applications. Significant advancements in use of plasmonic assays for the construction of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic methods have been made to provide effective and urgent health care of patients, especially in resourcelimited settings. This rapidly progressive research area, centered on the unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of metallic nanostructures with exceptional absorption and scattering abilities, has greatly facilitated the development of cost-effective, sensitive, and rapid strategies for disease diagnostics and improving patient healthcare in both developed and developing worlds. This review highlights the recent advances and applications of plasmonic technologies for highly sensitive protein and nucleic acid biomarker detection. In particular, we focus on the implementation and penetration of various plasmonic technologies in conventional molecular diagnostic assays, and discuss how such modification has resulted in simpler, faster, and more sensitive alternatives that are suited for point-of-use. Finally, integration of plasmonic molecular assays with various portable POC platforms for mobile health applications are highlighted.

Abstract
Herein, a single-step, rapid and homogenous fluorescence approach for highly sensitive and specific detection of CEA was successfully constructed for the first time using an aptamer binding-induced exonuclease III (Exo III)-mediated dual-amplification strategy. When present, CEA can specifically combine with the aptamer region in H1, resulting in a conformational change of H1 and the exposure of the occluded DNA fragment in the stem regions. Successively, the exposed DNA fragment partially hybridizes with H2 to initiate Exo III-assisted cycling cleavage to release another DNA fragment, which can in turn activate the cycling cleavage of the DNA fluorescence substrate (FS). Therefore, many fluorophore fragments are liberated to produce a significantly amplified fluorescence signal toward CEA detection. By virtue of the Exo III-assisted dual-amplification strategy, this method allows the detection of CEA at the fg mL-1 level with excellent selectivity. Compared with other reported strategies for CEA detection, the Exo III-assisted dual-amplification homogeneous platform only requires a one-step reaction, offering a very simple and low-cost detection. The practical ability of the developed strategy is demonstrated by the detection of CEA in human serum with satisfactory results. Thus, this method shows great potential in assays of many other biological analytes in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Nowadays, cancer is one of the most dangerous and deadly disease all around the world. Cancer that is diagnosed at early stages is more likely to be treated successfully. Treatment of progressed cancer is very difficult, and generally surviving rates are much lower. Therefore, much research has been focused on developing non-invasive methods for detection of cancer and monitoring of its progress. Within this contribution, we present a novel strategy for selective isolation and detection of breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and BT-20) based on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). A simplified protocol based on cell-aptamer interaction has been developed in which core-shell (Au@Fe3O4) nanoparticles (CSNs) were functionalized with a mucin 1 (MUC1) specific aptamer (Apt1) to capture cells through the interaction between Apt1 and overexpressed protein (MUC1) on the surface of the tumor cells. Meanwhile, a SERS nano-tag, synthesized by the conjugation of Apt1 to the surface of BSA coated and with 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) functionalized gold nanoparticles, was used to detect the isolated cells. As a conclusion, the proposed strategy can be extended to isolate and detect cells more precisely based on the detection of different kinds of biomarkers on the surface of cancer cells, simultaneously.

Abstract
The detection of cancer biomarkers represents an important aspect of cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Recently, the concept of liquid biopsy has been introduced whereby diagnosis and prognosis are performed by means of analyzing biological fluids obtained from patients to detect and quantify circulating cancer biomarkers. Unlike conventional biopsy whereby primary tumor cells are analyzed, liquid biopsy enables the detection of a wide variety of circulating cancer biomarkers, including microRNA (miRNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), proteins, exosomes and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Among the various techniques that have been developed to detect circulating cancer biomarkers, nanoplasmonic sensors represent a promising measurement approach due to high sensitivity and specificity as well as ease of instrumentation and operation. In this review, we discuss the relevance and applicability of three different categories of nanoplasmonic sensing techniques, namely surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), for the detection of different classes of circulating cancer biomarkers.

Abstract
In recent years, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been widely applied to many different areas, including chemical analysis, biomolecule detection, bioagent diagnostics, DNA sequence, and environmental monitor, due to its capabilities of unlabeled fingerprint identification, high sensitivity, and rapid detection. In biomicrofluidic systems, it is also very powerful to integrate SERS based devices with specified micro-fluid flow fields to further focusing/enhancing/multiplexing SERS signals through molecule registration, concentration/accumulation, and allocation. In this review, after a brief introduction of the mechanism of SERS detection on proteins, we will first focus on the effectiveness of different nanostructures for SERS enhancement and light-to-heat conversion in trace protein analysis. Various protein molecule accumulation schemes by either (bio-)chemical or physical ways, such as immuno, electrochemical, Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and magnetic, will then be reviewed for further SERS signal amplification. The analytical and repeatability/stability issues of SERS detection on proteins will also be brought up for possible solutions. Then, the comparison about various ways employing microfluidic systems to register, concentrate, and enhance the signals of SERS and reduce the background noise by active or passive means to manipulate SERS nanostructures and protein molecules will be elaborated. Finally, we will carry on the discussion on the challenges and opportunities by introducing SERS into biomicrofluidic systems and their potential solutions.

Abstract
Advanced and metastatic cancer forms are extremely difficult to treat and require high doses of chemotherapeutics, inadvertently affecting also healthy cells. As a result, the observed survival rates are very low. For instance, gemcitabine (GEM), one of the most effective chemotherapeutic drugs used for the treatment of breast and pancreatic cancers, sees only a 20% efficacy in penetrating cancer tissue, resulting in <5% survival rate in pancreatic cancer. Here, we present a method for delivering the drug that offers mitigation of side effects, as well as a targeted delivery and controlled release of the drug, improving its overall efficacy. By modifying the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with covalently bonded thiol linkers, we have immobilized GEM on the nanoparticle (NP) through a pH-sensitive amide bond. This bond prevents the drug from being metabolized or acting on tissue at physiological pH 7.4, but breaks, releasing the drug at acidic pH, characteristic of cancer cells. Further functionalization of the NP with folic acid and/or transferrin (TF) offers a targeted delivery, as cancer cells overexpress folate and TF receptors, which can mediate the endocytosis of the NP carrying the drug. Thus, through the modification of AuNPs, we have been able to produce a nanocarrier containing GEM and folate/TF ligands, which is capable of targeted controlled-release delivery of the drug, reducing the side effects of the drug and increasing its efficacy. Here, we demonstrate the pH-dependent GEM release, using an ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy to monitor the GEM loading onto the nanocarrier and follow its stimulated release. Further in vitro studies with model triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 have corroborated the utility of the proposed nanocarrier method allowing the administration of high drug doses to targeted cancer cells.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors resulting from a combination of the traditional immunoassay approach with modern biosensors and electrochemical analysis constitute a current research hotspot. They exhibit both the high selectivity characteristics of immunoassays and the high sensitivity of electrochemical analysis, along with other merits such as small volume, convenience, low cost, simple preparation, and real-time on-line detection, and have been widely used in the fields of environmental monitoring, medical clinical trials and food analysis. Notably, the rapid development of nanotechnology and the wide application of nanomaterials have provided new opportunities for the development of high-performance electrochemical immunosensors. Various nanomaterials with different properties can effectively solve issues such as the immobilization of biological recognition molecules, enrichment and concentration of trace analytes, and signal detection and amplification to further enhance the stability and sensitivity of the electrochemical immunoassay procedure. This review introduces the working principles and development of electrochemical immunosensors based on different signals, along with new achievements and progress related to electrochemical immunosensors in various fields. The importance of various types of nanomaterials for improving the performance of electrochemical immunosensor is also reviewed to provide a theoretical basis and guidance for the further development and application of nanomaterials in electrochemical immunosensors.

Abstract
In this work, an "off" to "on" surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA) by using a magnetic SERS substrate (Co@C/PEI/Ag) and padlock probe-based exponential rolling circle amplification (P-ERCA) strategy. Herein, miRNA 155 could act as primers to initiate rolling circle amplification (RCA) for producing a long repeat sequence, and then the obtained DNA would be cleaved into two kinds of single-stranded DNAs in the presence of nickase. One of the DNAs can be a new primer to initiate new cycle reactions for obtaining large numbers of the other one (trigger DNA), consequently leading to an exponential amplification. On the other hand, the hairpin DNA (H1), with a Raman label (Cy5) at one end, would form a hairpin structure to make the Cy5 closer to the SERS substrates, which could produce a strong SERS signal ("on" status). Then placeholder DNA (P2) partly hybridized with H1 to open the hairpin structure making Cy5 far away from substrates with a decreased signal ("off" status). Next, the obtained trigger DNA can complement with P2 to make the Raman label reclosed to the SERS substrates with a strong SERS signal ("on" status). From this principle, the strategy could achieve the change from "off" to "on" status. This SERS strategy exhibited a wide linear range of 100 aM to 100 pM with a low detection limit of 70.2 aM, which indicated the proposed SERS platform has potential application value for ultrasensitive bioassay of miRNA.
