Abstract
The development of sensitive and efficient cell sensing strategies to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood is crucial for the early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of cancer clinical treatment. Herein, an array of hierarchical flower-like gold microstructures (HFGMs) with anisotropic nanotips was synthesized by a simple electrodeposition method and used as a capture substrate to construct an ECL cytosensor based on the specific recognition of target cells by aptamers. The complex topography of the HFGMs array not only catalyzed the enhancement of ECL signals, but also induced the cells to generate more filopodia, improving the capture efficiency and shortening the capture time. The effect of topographic roughness on cell growth and adhesion propensity was also investigated, while the cell capture efficiency was proposed to be an important indicator affecting the accuracy of the ECL cytosensor. In addition, the capture of cells on the electrode surface increased the steric hindrance, which caused ECL signal changes in the Ru(bpy)32+ and TPrA system, realizing the quantitative detection of MCF-7 cells. The detection range of the sensor was from 102 to 106 cells mL-1 and the detection limit was 18 cells mL-1. The proposed detection method avoids the process of separation, labeling and counting, which has great potential for sensitive detection in clinical applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes have attracted widespread attention, and rationally designing high-activity nanozymes to improve their application performance are a long-term objective. Herein, taking metal-organic frameworks-derived Co3O4 polyhedron with large surface area and high porosity as nanoconfinement carriers, Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron was successfully synthesized by the room-temperature reduction of MnO4- ions and physical load of carbon dots (CDs). Through cancer cells-triggered double antibody sandwich strategy, the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron were introduced to the TiO2 nanoparticle (NPs) modified electrode, leading to the decreased photocurrent. The Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron can not only quench the photocurrent of TiO2 NPs, also act as nanozymes to catalyze precipitates. Moreover, the precipitates can not only reduce the photoelectrochemical (PEC) response, also increase the quenching capacity of the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron. Additionally, the steric hindrance effect of the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs-Ab conjugates further weaken the photocurrent. Based on the multifunctional Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron, the proposed PEC biosensor for the detection of A549 cancer cells exhibits a wide linear range from 102 to 106 cells/mL and a low detection limit of 11 cells/mL. Furthermore, this strategy can differentiate between lung cancer patients and healthy individuals. The designed multifunctional Co3O4@MnO2@CDs nanozymes provide a new horizon for PEC detection of cancer cells, and may have great potential in early clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Cellular heterogeneity, especially in some important diseased cells like tumor cells, acts as an invisible driver for disease development like cancer progression in the tumor ecosystem, contributing to differences in the macroscopic and microscopic detection of disease lesions like tumors. Traditional analysis techniques choose group information masked by the mean as the analysis sample, making it difficult to achieve precise diagnosis and target treatment, on which could be shed light via the single-cell level determination/bioanalysis. Hence, in this article we have reviewed the special characteristic differences among various kinds of typical single-cell bioanalysis strategies and electrochemical techniques, and then focused on the recent advance and special bio-applications of electrochemiluminescence and micro-nano electrochemical sensing mediated in single-cell bioimaging & bioanalysis. Especially, we have summarized the relevant research exploration of the possibility to establish the in-situ single-cell electrochemical methods to detect cell heterogeneity through determination of specific biomolecules and bioimaging of some important biological processes. Eventually, this review has explored some important advances of electrochemical single-cell detection techniques for the real-time cellular bioimaging and diagnostics of some disease lesions like tumors. It raises the possibility to provide the specific in-situ platform to exploit the versatile, sensitive, and high-resolution electrochemical single-cell analysis for the promising biomedical applications like rapid tracing of some disease lesions or in vivo bioimaging for precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Herein, a Faraday cage-type electrochemiluminescence biosensor was designed for the detection of human breast cancer cell MCF-7. Two kinds of nanomaterials, Fe3O4-APTs and GO@PTCA-APTs, were synthesized as capture unit and signal unit, respectively. In presence of the target MCF-7, the Faraday cage-type electrochemiluminescence biosensor was constructed by forming a complex "capture unit-MCF-7-signal unit". In this case, lots of electrochemiluminescence signal probes were assembled and could participate in the electrode reaction, achieving a significant increase in sensitivity. In addition, the double aptamer recognition strategy was adopted to improve the capture, enrichment efficiency and detection reliability. Under optimal experimental conditions, the limit of detection was 3 cells/mL. And, the sensor could afford the detection of actual human blood samples, which is the first report on the detection of intact circulating tumor cells by the Faraday cage-type electrochemiluminescence biosensor.

Abstract
Improving the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency of luminophores has always been the goal of the ECL field. Herein, a novel crystallization-induced enhanced ECL (CIE ECL) strategy was exploited to significantly enhance the ECL efficiency of metal complex tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3). Alq3 monomers self-assembled and directionally grew to form Alq3 microcrystals (Alq3 MCs) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The highly ordered crystal structure of Alq3 MCs not only constrained the intramolecular rotation of Alq3 monomers to decrease nonradiative transition but also accelerated the electron transfer between Alq3 MCs and coreactant tripropylamine to increase radiative transition, thus leading to a CIE ECL effect. Alq3 MCs exhibited brilliant anode ECL emission, which was 210-fold stronger than that of Alq3 monomers. The exceptional CIE ECL performance of Alq3 MCs coupled the efficient trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a assisted by rolling circle amplification and catalytic hairpin assembly to fabricate a CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated aptasensor for acetamiprid (ACE) detection. The limit of detection was as low as 0.79 fM. This work not only innovatively exploited a CIE ECL strategy to enhance the ECL efficiency of metal complexes but also integrated CRISPR/Cas12a with a dual amplification strategy for the ultrasensitive monitoring of pesticides such as ACE.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) protein is considered to be a key biomarker that is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The level of Aβ, particularly its subtle fluctuation, indicates early neuropathological changes, which poses a considerable challenge in predicting AD, considering the detection limit of sensing technologies. Herein, a new label-free sensor based on luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was proposed by developing a close-packed monolayered-SiO2 array with gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) entrapped in their gaps as the basal electrode. The well-organized SiO2 NPs with a quasiphotonic crystal structure amplified the ECL signal via light scattering, while Au NPs amplified the signal by directly catalyzing luminol oxidation. Owing to the dual signal amplification, the proposed electrode furnished an ∼64-fold-intensified ECL signal of luminol as the sensing background. Further, the as-prepared ECL electrode served as the substrate to develop an aptasensor for the sensitive detection of Aβ. The inhibition of the ECL signal due to the suppressed diffusion of luminol to the sensor surface acts as an indicator to quantify the amount of Aβ. The transfer dynamics mechanism provides a label-free sensing strategy and facilitates the high sensitivity of the aptasensor for Aβ detection. Under optimal conditions, the developed aptasensor exhibits an ultrasensitive performance for Aβ with a very low limit of detection of 5 fM, providing a new prospect for clinical research on Aβ and a promising approach in the field of ECL sensing.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analysis has become a powerful tool in recent biomarker detection and clinic diagnosis due to its high sensitivity and broad linear range. To improve the analytical performance of ECL biosensors, various advanced nanomaterials have been introduced to regulate the ECL signal such as graphene, gold nanomaterials, and quantum dots. Among these nanomaterials, some plasmonic nanostructures play important roles in the fabrication of ECL biosensors. The plasmon effect for the ECL signal includes ECL quenching by resonant energy transfer, ECL enhancement by surface plasmon resonance enhancement, and a change in the polarized angle of ECL emission. The influence can be regulated by the distance between ECL emitters and plasmonic materials, and the characteristics of polarization angle-dependent surface plasmon coupling. This paper outlines the recent advances of plasmonic based ECL biosensors involving various plasmonic materials including noble metals and semiconductor nanomaterials. The detection targets in these biosensors range from small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and cells thanks to the plasmonic effect. In addition to ECL biosensors, ECL microscopy analysis with plasmonic materials is also highlighted because of the enhanced ECL image quality by the plasmonic effect. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges are discussed if more plasmonic effects are introduced into the ECL realm.

Abstract
Direct ammonia (NH3 ) synthesis from water and atmospheric nitrogen using sunlight provides an energy-sustainable and carbon-neutral alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, the development of such a route with high performance is impeded by the lack of effective charge transfer and abundant active sites to initiate the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). Here, the authors report efficient plasmon-induced photoelectrochemical (PEC) NH3 synthesis on the hierarchical free-standing Au/Kx MoO3 /Mo/Kx MoO3 /Au nanoarrays. Endowed with energetically hot electrons and catalytically active sites, the plasmonic nanoarrays exhibit an efficient PEC NH3 synthesis rate of 9.6 µg cm-2 h-1 under visible light irradiation, which is among the highest PEC NRR systems. This work demonstrates the rationally designed plasmonic nanoarrays for highly efficient NH3 synthesis, which paves a new path for PEC catalytic reactions driven by surface plasmons and future monolithic PEC devices for direct artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Developing a cytosensing strategy based on electrochemical approaches has attracted wide interest due to the low cost, rapid response, and simple instrumentation. In this work, an electrochemical cytosensor employing the Pt@BSA nanocomposite as the biosensing substrate along with the covalent cross-linking of targeting molecules folic acid (FA) was constructed for highly sensitive determination of folate receptor (FR)-positive tumor cells. The prepared Pt@BSA nanocomposite revealed excellent biocompatibility for cell adhesion and proliferation, which was confirmed by cell viability evaluation using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric methods. Due to the satisfactory electrical conductivity originating from Pt@BSA and the high binding affinity of FA to FR on the cell surface, an ultrasensitive and specific cytosensing device was designed for rapid and quantitative determination of HeLa cells (a model system) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) tests. This proposed cytosensor resulted in a wide HeLa cell determination range of 2.8 × 101-2.8 × 106 cells mL-1 with a low DPV detection limit of 9 cells mL-1. The developed cytosensing approach exhibited highly specific recognition of FR-positive tumor cells, excellent inter-assay reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.7%, acceptable intra-assay precision, and favorable storage stability, expanding the application of electrochemical measurement technology in the biomedical field of early detection and diagnosis of cancers.

Abstract
The concentration of intracellular zinc ions is a significant clinical parameter for diagnosis. However, it is still a challenge for direct visual detection of zinc ions in cells at single-cell level. To address this issue, herein, water-soluble amino-rich polydopamine carbon quantum dots (PDA-CQDs) were successfully synthesized, with strong blue-green fluorescence as the probes for zinc ions detection in cells. The structure and properties of PDA-CQDs were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR), UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis), and fluorescence spectroscopy. Importantly, by successfully linking salicylaldehyde (SA) to PDA-CQDs via nucleophilic reaction, the FL quenching and Zn ions induced FL-recovering system was built up, thus offering a signal-on platform for the detection of zinc ions. This PDA-CQDs-SA nanoprobe can be applied for the detection of Zn2+with a detection limit of 0.09μM, with good biocompatibility confirmed using cytotoxicity assay. Of significance, the results of fluorescence bioimaging showed that PDA-CQDs-SA is able to detect Zn2+in single-cell visually, with the detection limit of Zn ions in cells as low as 0.11μM per cell, which was confirmed using flow cytometry. Therefore, this work offers a potential probe for Zn2+detection in cells at single-cell level, towards the precise diagnosis of zinc ions related diseases.

Abstract
Blood analysis is an established approach to monitor various diseases, ranging from heart defects and diabetes to cancer. Among various tumor markers in the blood, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have received increasing attention due to the fact that they originate directly from the tumors. Capturing and detecting CTCs represents a promising approach in cancer diagnostics and clinical management of cancers. CTCs in blood progress to self-seeding a tumour or initiating a new lesion mass. Cytosensors are biosensors intended to identify CTCs in a blood sample of cancer patients and provide information about the cancer status. Herein, we firstly discuss different detection methods of state-of-the-art optical cytosensors, including colorimetry, fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance, photoelectrochemistry and electrochemiluminescence. Then we review the significant advances made in implementing biorecognition elements and nanomaterials for the detection of cancer cells. Despite great progress in optical cytosensors, and their integration with smartphones, they have still only been explored to prototype stages. Much more effort is needed to fulfil their potential in modern cancer diagnostics and in monitoring the state of disease for cancer patients.

Abstract
The accurate analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) holds great promise in early diagnosis and prognosis of cancers. However, the extremely low abundance of CTCs in peripheral blood samples limits the practical utility of the traditional methods for CTCs detection. Thus, novel and powerful strategies have been proposed for sensitive detection of CTCs. In particular, nanomaterials with exceptional physical and chemical properties have been used to fabricate cytosensors for amplifying the signal and enhancing the sensitivity. In this review, we summarize the recent development of nanomaterials-based optical and electrochemical analytical techniques for CTCs detection, including fluorescence, colorimetry, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, chemiluminescence, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence, photoelectrochemistry and so on.

Abstract
The detection of biomolecules using various biosensors with excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility, is of great significance in the analytical and biomedical fields toward achieving their practical applications. Noble metal nanoparticles are favorable candidates due to their unique optical, surface electrical effect, and catalytic properties. Among these noble metal nanoparticles, platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have been widely employed for the detection of bioactive substances such as glucose, glutamic acid, and hormones. However, there is still a long way to go before the potential challenges in the practical applications of biomolecules are fully overcome. Bearing this in mind, combined with our research experience, we summarized the recent progress of the Pt NP-based biosensors and highlighted the current problems that exist in their practical applications. The current review would provide fundamental guidance for future applications using the Pt NP-based biosensors in food, agricultural, and medical fields.

Abstract
Micro/nanomotors bring new possibilities for the detection and therapy of diseases related to the blood environment with their unique motion effect. This work reviews the research progress of using micro/nanomotors in the detection and therapy of diseases related to the blood environment. First, we outline the advantages of using micro/nanomotors in blood-related disease detection. To be specific, the motion capability of micro/nanomotors can increase plasma or blood fluid convection and accelerate the interaction between the sample and the capture probe. This allows the effective reduction of the amount of reagents and treatment steps. Therefore, the application of micro/nanomotors significantly improves the analytical performance. Second, we discuss the key challenges and future prospects of micro/nanomotors in the treatment of blood-environment related diseases. It is very important to design a unique treatment plan according to the etiology and specific microenvironment of the disease. The next generation of micro/nanomotors is expected to bring exciting progress to the detection and therapy of blood-environment related diseases.

Abstract
Mammalian cell analysis is essential in the context of both fundamental studies and clinical applications. Among the various techniques available for cell analysis, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has attracted significant attention due to its integration of both electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the ECL-based systems developed for mammalian cell analysis. The review begins with a summary of the developments in luminophores that opened the door to ECL applications for biological samples. Secondly, ECL-based imaging systems are introduced as an emerging technique to visualize single-cell morphologies and intracellular molecules. In the subsequent section, the ECL sensors developed in the past decade are summarized, the use of which made the highly sensitive detection of cell-derived molecules possible. Although ECL immunoassays are well developed in terms of commercial use, the sensing of biomolecules at a single-cell level remains a challenge. Emphasis is therefore placed on ECL sensors that directly detect cellular molecules from small portions of cells or even single cells. Finally, the development of bipolar electrode devices for ECL cell assays is introduced. To conclude, the direction of research in this field and its application prospects are described.

Abstract
In this work, a new technology using ECL as a microscopy to parallel image miRNA-21 in single cancer cell was built. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) loaded gold nanocages (Au NCs) was closed with DNA gate which could be recognized and opened by miRNA-21 in HeLa cell. PMA was then released and further induced HeLa cells to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS; including O2-•, •OH and H2O2 etc.). With H2O2 as coreactant and luminol as ECL active material, ECL imaging of intracellular miRNA-21 in single HeLa cell was obtained by EMCCD. Moreover, ROS therapy and photothermal therapy (PPT) of Au NCs@PMA probe were also motivated by in situ miRNA-21 marker instead of the external source. The combined therapy leads to dramatically enhanced ability for cancer cell killing. Au NCs@PMA probe alone could not only achieve a high sensitivity and high resolution ECL-microscopy for imaging of intracellular miRNA-21 for the first time, but also realize the integrated diagnosis like ROS induced tumor damage and photothermal-induced intelligent therapy. This multifunctional platform is believed to be capable of playing an important role in future oncotherapy by the synergistic effects between chemotherapy and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention in biosensing in virtue of their diverse and tunable optical properties. A famous ECL luminophore, carboxyl-rich tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) (Ru(dcbpy)32+), possesses the characteristics of good water solubility and excellent ECL performance and also has the potential to be the organic ligand of metal-organic frameworks. Herein, functionalized MOF nanosheets (RuMOFNSs) containing plenty of Ru(dcbpy)32+ in the frameworks were synthesized in aqueous solution by a simple one-pot method. In this protocol, Ru(dcbpy)32+ acted as organic ligand to coordinate with Zn2+ originated from Zn(NO3)2, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as structure-directing agent to control the formation of sheetlike structure. For practical application, a "signal-on" ECL immunosensor was designed for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) detection by employing RuMOFNSs as ECL probe. The immunosensor exhibited high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for cTnI detection in the range from 1 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL with a detection limit as low as 0.48 fg/mL. Finally, the biosensor was successfully applied for the detection of cTnI in human serum sample with satisfactory results, demonstrating its potential application in bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.
