Abstract
Owing to the limitations of dual-signal luminescent materials and coreactants, constructing a ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on a single luminophore is a huge challenge. This work developed an excellent zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF) Zr-TBAPY as a single ECL luminophore, which simultaneously exhibited cathodic and anodic ECL without any additional coreactants. First, Zr-TBAPY was successfully prepared by a solvothermal method with 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)pyrene (TBAPY) as the organic ligand and Zr4+ cluster as the metal node. The exploration of ECL mechanisms confirmed that the cathodic ECL of Zr-TBAPY originated from the pathway of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as the cathodic coreactant, which is generated by dissolved oxygen (O2), while the anodic ECL stemmed from the pathway of generated Zr-TBAPY radical itself as the anodic coreactant. Besides, N,N-diethylethylenediamine (DEDA) was developed as a regulator to ECL signals, which quenched the cathodic ECL and enhanced the anodic ECL, and the specific mechanisms of its dual action were also investigated. DEDA can act as the anodic coreactant while consuming the cathodic coreactant ROS. Therefore, the coreactant-free ratiometric ECL biosensor was skillfully constructed by combining the regulatory role of DEDA with the signal amplification reaction of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). The ECL biosensor realized the ultrasensitive ratio detection of HIV DNA. The linear range was 1 fM to 100 pM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 550 aM. The outstanding characteristic of Zr-TBAPY provided new thoughts for the development of ECL materials and developed a new way of fabricating the coreactant-free and single-luminophore ratiometric ECL platform.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a convenient and versatile dual-mode electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemistry (PEC) sensing radar for the detection of Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which has important implications for detection of low-abundance disease-associated proteins. Cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOFs) were firstly modified on the electrode, showing well ECL and PEC property. In particular, a unique multifunctional Au@CdS quantum dots (QDs) probe loaded numerous QDs and antibody was fabricated, not only displaying strong ECL and PEC signals, but also having specific recognition to PSA. After the signal probe was linked to the electrode by immune reaction, much amplified signals of ECL and PEC were generated for double-mode detection of PSA. Therefore, this work proposed a multifunctional Au@CdS QDs signal probe with excellent ECL and PEC performance, and developed an ultrasensitive photoelectric biosensing platform for dual-mode detection, which provides an effective method for health monitoring of cancer patients.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) as an analytical technology with a perfect combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy has received considerable attention in bioanalysis due to its high sensitivity and broad dynamic range. Given the selectivity of bio-recognition elements and the high sensitivity of the ECL analysis technique, ECL biosensors are powerful platforms for the sensitive detection of biomarkers, achieving the accurate prognosis and diagnosis of diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial biomarkers involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, whose aberrant expression is often related to serious diseases, especially cancers. ECL biosensors can fulfill the highly sensitive and selective requirements for accurate miRNA detection, prompting this review. The ECL mechanisms are initially introduced and subsequently categorize the ECL biosensors for miRNA detection in terms of the quenching agents. Furthermore, the work highlights the signal amplification strategies for enhancing ECL signal to improve the sensitivity of miRNA detection and finally concludes by looking at the challenges and opportunities in ECL biosensors for miRNA detection.

Abstract
Metal organic gels (MOGs) are a new kind of intelligent soft materials with excellent luminescence properties. However, MOGs with dual electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties have not been reported. In this study, using Eu3+ as metal node, 4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (Hcptpy) and Luminol as organic ligands, a novel dual-ligand Europium-organic gels (Eu-L-H MOGs) were prepared by simple mixing at room temperature. On the one hand, Eu-L-H MOGs could exhibit strong and stable anodic ECL signals in the phosphate buffered saline (PBS) without the addition of co-reactants, which came from the blue emission of Luminol. On the other hand, using K2S2O8 as a cathodic co-reactant, Eu-L-H MOGs produced cathodic signals, which were derived from the red emission of Eu sensitized by Hcptpy through the antenna effect. Based on the independent dual ECL signals of Eu-L-H MOGs, we selected Alexa Flour 430 as the receptor and anodic ECL emission of Eu-L-H MOGs as the donor to construct the ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) ratio biosensor, which utilized exonuclease III assisted DNA cycle amplification to achieve ultrasensitive detection of the I27L gene. The detection linearity of I27L ranged from 1 fM to 10 nM, with a detection limit as low as 284 aM. This study developed a straightforward technique for obtaining a single luminescent material with dual signals, and further broadened the analytical application of MOGs in the realm of ECL.

Abstract
Cascaded signal amplification technologies play an important role in the sensitive detection of lowly expressed biomarkers of interests yet are constrained by severe background interference and low cellular accessibility. Herein, we constructed a metal-organic framework-encapsulating dual-signal cascaded nucleic acid sensor for precise intracellular miRNA imaging. ZIF-8 nanoparticles load and deliver FAM-labeled upstream catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and Cy5-modified downstream hybridization chain reaction (HCR) hairpin reactants to tumor cells, enabling visualization of the target-initiated signal amplification process for double-insurance detection of analytes. The pH-responsive ZIF-8 nanoparticles effectively protect DNA hairpins from degradation and allow the release of them in the acid tumor microenvironment. Then, intracellular target miRNAs orderly trigger cascaded nucleic acid signal amplification reaction, of which the exact progress is investigated through the analysis of the fluorescence recovering process of FAM and Cy5. In addition, DNA@ZIF-8 nanoparticles improve measurement accuracy by dual-signal colocalization imaging, effectively avoiding nonspecific false-positive signals and enabling in situ imaging of miRNAs in living cells. A dual-signal colocalization strategy allows accurate target detection in living cells, and DNA@ZIF-8 provides a promising intracellular sensing platform for signal amplification and visual monitoring.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are typically acquired when a sudden violent event causes damage to the brain tissue. A high percentage (70-85%) of all TBI patients are suffering from mild TBI (mTBI), which is often difficult to detect and diagnose with standard imaging tools (MRI, CT scan) due to the absence of significant lesions and specific symptoms. Recent studies suggest that a screening test based on the measurement of a protein biomarker panel directly from a patient's blood can facilitate mTBI diagnosis. Herein, we report a novel prototype system designed as a precursor of a future hand-held point-of-care (POC) diagnostic device for the simultaneous multi-biomarker sensing, employing a microarray-type spatially resolved electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (SR-ECLIA). The small tabletop prototype consists of a screen-printed electrode compartment to conduct multi-analyte ECL sandwich assays, a potentiostat module and a light collection module, all integrated into a compact 3D-printed housing (18.2 × 16.5 × 5.0 cm), as well as an sCMOS detector. Based on this design concept, further miniaturization, system integration, performance optimization and clinical evaluation shall pave the way towards the development of a portable instrument for use at the site of accident and healthcare. To demonstrate the system's feasibility, current performance and efficiency, the simultaneous detection of three mTBI biomarkers (GFAP, h-FABP, S100β) in 50% serum was achieved in the upper pg mL-1 range. The proposed device is amenable to the detection of other biomarker panels and thus could open new medical diagnostic avenues for sensitive multi-analyte measurements with low-volume biological sample requirements.

Abstract
Functionalized metal organometallic frameworks (MOFs) offer unique advantages in the field of sensing due to their versatility and tunable optical properties. In this work, a new dual-potential electrochemiluminescence (ECL) molecularly imprinted sensor using single Zn-MOF signal probe was designed for double detection of trace chloramphenicol (CAP). As dual-signal ECL emitters, Zn-MOFs were firstly modified on the electrode, showing excellent ECL emission in both cathodic and anodic potential. Then the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was electrochemically prepared using o-phenylenediamine (O-PD) and CAP as a template molecule on the Zn-MOFs/electrode. After CAP as a molecular recognition element was eluted and removed from the Zn-MOFs/MIP/electrode, a new ECL sensor was developed for CAP detection by re-adsorption of CAP on the MIP, resulting in "off" of ECL signal. Compared with the conventional single-signal luminophores, Zn-MOFs show more stable and excellent dual ECL signals, which greatly improve the discriminability and accuracy of CAP trace detection. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of CAP detection was 1 × 10-14-1 × 10-8 M, and the minimum limits of detection (LOD) were 2.1 fM and 2.5 fM for cathode and anode ECL, respectively. This is the first time that Zn-MOFs are used as dual-ECL emitters for molecular sensing systems, and the proposed dual-channel sensing system is flexibly applicable to sensitive detection of other antibiotics, which has broad practical application in food safety.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have become promising electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters with high quantum yield and size-tunable luminescence. However, most QDs generate strong ECL emission at the cathode, developing anodic ECL-emitting QDs with excellent performance is challenging. In this work, low-toxic quaternary AgInZnS QDs synthesized by a one-step aqueous phase method were used as novel anodic ECL emitters. AgInZnS QDs exhibited strong and stable ECL emission and a low excitation potential, which could avoid the side reaction of oxygen evolution. Furthermore, AgInZnS QDs displayed high ECL efficiency (ΦECL) of 5.84, taking the ΦECL of Ru(bpy)32+/tripropylamine (TPrA) ECL system as 1. Compared to AgInS2 QDs without Zn doping and traditional anode luminescent CdTe QDs, the ECL intensity of AgInZnS QDs was 1.62 times and 3.64 times higher than that of AgInS2 QDs and CdTe QDs, respectively. As a proof-of-concept, we further designed an "on-off-on" ECL biosensor for detecting microRNA-141 based on a dual isothermal enzyme-free strand displacement reaction (SDR), which not only to achieve the cyclic amplification of the target and ECL signal, but also to construct a switch of the biosensor. The ECL biosensor had a wide linear range from 100 aM to 10 nM with a low detection limit of 33.3 aM. Together, the constructed ECL sensing platform is a promising tool for rapid and accurate diagnosis of clinical diseases.

Talanta 2023; 254:124191.

Abstract
Precise and sensitive microRNA (miRNA) analysis is very significant for early disease diagnosis. In this work, a dual DNA nanomachines-based homogeneous electrochemical biosensor was constructed for the sensitively ratiometric detection of miRNA by a nicking enzyme (Nt.AlwI)-assisted cycling signal amplification strategy. The Co-based metal organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) and toluidine blue (TB) were employed as signal probes and internal reference probes, respectively. The introduction of internal reference probes can actually calibrate the interferent factors of the analytical system to improve the stability in detection procedure. In addition, with the help of the magnetic separation technique, the homogeneous electrochemical biosensor provides a more simpler way for the development of immobilization-free electrochemical miRNA biosensors, avoiding the complex modification procedure of traditional electrochemical biosensing interfaces. Consequently, taking advantages of this proposed dual DNA nanomachines-based homogeneous electrochemical biosensor, the highly sensitive and selective detection of miRNA-141 as model could be accomplished in ranging from 1 fM to 10 nM with detection limit of 0.46 fM. This strategy exhited good sensitivity and stability to integrate the nicking enzyme-powered dual DNA nanomachines with the ratiometric electrochemical output modes, which open new opportunities for the sensitive and reliable diagnosis of miRNA-related diseases.

Abstract
It is important to develop effective strategies to construct enzymatic biofuel cell based self-powered biosensors. We report here the facile regulation of enzymatic loading capacity on the bioanode by utilizing a concatenated catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA)/hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and its application for self-powered microRNA-141 (miRNA-141) detection. To construct the bioanode, a concatenated CHA/HCR process triggered by miRNA-141 was conducted on the three-dimensional macroporous gold (3DMG) electrode to generate long double-stranded DNA nanowires for glucose oxidase immobilization. Quartz crystal microbalance study reveals that the enzymatic loading capacity on the bioanode increases at an increasing miRNA-141 concentration, leading to enhanced catalytic performance for glucose oxidation. The short-circuit currents of the assembled glucose/O2 biofuel cells increase at increasing miRNA-141 concentrations, enabling ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-141. The self-powered biosensor features a wide dynamic range for detecting miRNA-141 from 10-17 to 10-11 M, with an ultralow detection limit of 1.3 aM. This work provides a highly sensitive self-powered biosensing platform for miRNA detection.

Abstract
As isothermal, enzyme-free signal amplification strategies, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) possess the advantages such as high amplification efficiency, excellent biocompatibility, mild reactions, and easy operation. Therefore, they have been widely applied in DNA-based biosensors for detecting small molecules, nucleic acids, and proteins. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of DNA-based sensors employing typical and advanced HCR and CHA strategies, including branched HCR or CHA, localized HCR or CHA, and cascaded reactions. In addition, the bottlenecks of implementing HCR and CHA in biosensing applications are discussed, such as high background signals, lower amplification efficiency than enzyme-assisted techniques, slow kinetics, poor stability, and internalization of DNA probes in cellular applications.

Abstract
A sensitive homogeneous electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) detection was developed by combining highly sensitive ECL detection, high efficiency of branched hybridization chain reaction (BHCR) amplification, a convenient homogeneous strategy, and simple ultrafiltration separation. Magnetic beads were first modified with well-designed double flap DNAs containing 5'-flaps. In the presence of FEN1, the 5'-flap can be cleaved, and a large amount of single-stranded DNA can be produced, which can be separated easily from the double-flap DNA-modified beads by a magnet. Then, the cleaved 5'-flap can be used to initiate BHCR amplification to produce a large amount of long-strand dsDNA. Ru(phen)32+ can insert dsDNA to form Ru-dsDNAs, which can be easily separated from the main solution through ultrafiltration. The ECL signal from the separated Ru-dsDNAs has a good linear relationship with the logarithm of the FEN1 concentration ranging from 6.5 × 10-2 ∼ 6.5 × 103 U/L with a detection limit of 2.2 × 10-2 U/L. The proposed biosensor was used to evaluate FEN1 activity in real samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Sensitive sensing is critical when developing new calculation systems with weak input signals (ISs). In this work, a "weak-inputs-strong-outputs" strategy was proposed to guide the construction of sensitive logic nanodevices by coupling an input-induced reversible DNA computing platform with a hybridization chain reaction-based signal amplifier. By rational design of the sequence of computing elements (CEs) so as to avoid cross-talking between ISs and signal amplifier, the newly formed logic nanodevices have good sensitivity to the weak ISs even at low concentrations of CEs, and are able to perform YES, OR, NAND, NOR, INHIBIT, INHIBIT-OR and number classifier operation, showing that the DNA calculation proceeds in dilute solution medium that greatly improves the calculation proficiency of logic nanodevices without the confinement of the lithography process in nanotechnology.

Abstract
Fast and effective detection of epidemics is the key to preventing the spread of diseases. In this work, we constructed a dual-wavelength ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on entropy-driven and bipedal DNA walker cycle amplification strategies for detection of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The entropy-driven cyclic amplification reaction was started by the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene to generate a bandage. The bandage could combine with two other single-stranded S1 and S2 to form a bipedal DNA walker to create the following cycle reaction. After the bipedal DNA walker completed the walking process, the hairpin structures at the top of the DNA tetrahedrons (TDNAs) were removed. Subsequently, the PEI-Ru@Ti3C2@AuNPs-S7 probes were used to combine with the excised hairpin part of TDNAs on the surface of Au-g-C3N4, and the signal change was realized employing electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET). By combining entropy-driven and DNA walker cycle amplification strategy, the ratiometric ECL biosensor exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 7.8 aM for the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene. As a result, detecting the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene in human serum still possessed high recovery so that the dual-wavelength ratiometer biosensor could be used in early clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The most commonly used clinical methods are enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) in which ELISA was applied for the detection of protein biomarkers and qPCR was especially applied for nucleic acid biomarker analysis. Although these constructed methods have been applied in wide range, they also showed some inherent shortcomings such as low sensitivity, large sample volume and complex operations. At present, many methods have been successfully constructed on the basis of DNA nanotechnology with the merits of high accuracy, rapid and simple operation for cancer biomarkers assay. In this review, we summarized the bioassay strategies based on DNA nanotechnology from the perspective of the analytical attributes for the first time and discussed and the feasibility of the reported strategies for clinical application in the future.

Abstract
The further development of high-performance fluorescent biosensors to image intracellular microRNAs is beneficial to cancer medicine. By virtue of the need for enzymes and hairpin DNA probes, the entropy-driven reaction-assisted signal amplification strategy has shown an enormous potential to accomplish this task. Nevertheless, this good option still meets with poor biostability, low cell uptake efficiency, and unsatisfactory accuracy. On the basis of these challenges, we put forward here a battery of solving pathways. First, the straight DNA probes are anchored onto the vertexes of dual DNA tetrahedrons, and thus the enzyme resistance of the whole sensing system is observably enhanced. A metal-organic framework (ZIF-8 nanoparticle), which can be effectively dissociated into a weakly acidic environment, then is employed as an additional delivery vehicle to encapsulate such a DNA tetrahedron sustained biosensor and finally bring about a more efficient endocytosis. Last, a kind of photocleavage-linker triggered photoresponsive manner is incorporated to achieve an exceptional precise target identification, by which the biosensor can only be initiated under the irradiation of an externally mild 365 nm ultraviolet light source. In accordance with the above efforts, worthy assay performance toward microRNA-196a has given rise to this newly constructed biosensor, whose sensitivity is down to 2.7 pM and also able to distinguish single-base variation. Beyond that, the amplifier can work as a powerful imaging toolbox to accurately determine the targets in living cells, providing a promising intracellular sensing platform.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are found in extremely low concentrations in cells, so highly sensitive quantitation is a great challenge. Herein, a simple dual-amplification strategy involving target-activated catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) coupled with multiple fluorophores concentrated on one X-shaped DNA is reported. In this strategy, four hairpin probes (H1, H2, H3, and H4) are modified with FAM and BHQ1 at both sticky ends, while a circulating hairpin probe (H0) is used to activate CHA circuits once it binds to complementary sequences in the target miR-21 (T). The powerful dual-amplification cascades in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based nonenzymatic nucleic acid circuits are triggered by T-H0-activated formation of the X-shaped DNA nanostructure, freeing T-H0 for the next CHA reaction cycle. CHA circuits increase the fluorescence due to the wide distance between FAM and BHQ1 in the formed X-shaped DNA nanostructure, resulting in signal amplification and highly sensitive detection of miR-21, with a limit of detection (LOD, 3σ) of 0.025 nM, which is 25.6 or 57.6 times lower than that obtained through a single-amplification strategy without multiple fluorophores on one X-shaped DNA or CHA circuit. Furthermore, this cascade reaction was completed in 45 min, effectively avoiding target degradation. This new enzyme-free signal amplification strategy holds promising potential for sensitively detecting different DNA or RNA sequences by simply adapting the fragment of the H0 sequence complementary to the target.

Abstract
Developing a coreactant-free ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) strategy based on a single luminophore to achieve more accurate and sensitive microRNA (miRNA) detection is highly desired. Herein, utilizing zinc-metal organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) as the single luminophore, a novel dual-potential ratiometric ECL biosensor was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-133a. The as-prepared Zn-MOFs exhibited simultaneous cathode and anode ECL emission. Furthermore, the Zn-MOFs were confirmed to be a multichannel ECL sensing platform with excellent annihilation and coreactant ECL emission. The corresponding ECL behaviors were investigated in detail. Benefiting from the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification technology, N,N-diethylethylenediamine (DEAEA) was modified on hairpin DNA, and the gained products loaded with quantities of DEAEA enhanced the anodic ECL intensity of Zn-MOFs. In the presence of miRNA-133a, the ECL intensity ratio of anode to cathode (Ia/Ic) was significantly increased, which realized the ultrasensitive ratiometric detection of miRNA-133a. In addition, without an exogenous coreactant, the biosensor revealed superb accuracy and stability. Under optimal conditions, the detection linearity of miRNA-133a was from 50 aM to 50 fM with a low detection limit of 35.8 aM (S/N = 3). This is the first work to use Zn-MOFs as a single emitter for reliable ratiometric ECL bioanalysis, which provides a new perspective for fabricating a ratiometric ECL biosensor platform.

Abstract
With the continuous development of DNA nanotechnology, various spatial DNA structures and assembly techniques emerge. Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) is a typical example with exciting features and bright prospects in biosensing, which has been intensively investigated in the past decade. In this Spotlight on Applications, we summarize the assembly principles of conventional HCR and some novel forms of linear/nonlinear HCR. With advantages like great assembly kinetics, facile operation, and an enzyme-free and isothermal reaction, these strategies can be integrated with most mainstream reporters (e.g., fluorescence, electrochemistry, and colorimetry) for the ultrasensitive detection of abundant targets. Particularly, we select several representative studies to better illustrate the novel ideas and performances of HCR strategies. Theoretical and practical utilities are confirmed for a range of biosensing applications. In the end, a deep discussion is provided about the challenges and future tasks of this field.

Abstract
It is an advantageous way to quickly identify the toxicity of Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) by detecting the transcription product of the atxA gene. Herein, a novel ultrasensitive ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor with competitive mechanism and double amplified signal ways was proposed for detecting the atxA mRNA. The K2S2O8 was used as cathodic emitter and silver metal-organic gels (AgMOG) was used as ECL enhancer. The AgMOG could accelerate the electro-catalytic reduction of S2O82- to SO4˙-, which reacted with dissolved oxygen, resulting in strong cathodic ECL. Meanwhile, luminol was encapsulated in liposome as anodic amplified signal labels and the luminol anion radical also reacted with dissolved oxygen to create the anodic ECL emission. We immobilized luminol-encapsulated liposomes on the surface of AgMOG through the hybridization of DNA and mRNA. This would provide a competitive mechanism involving dissolved oxygen between K2S2O8 and luminol. Benefiting from the competitive mechanism and amplified signal ways, this ratiometric biosensor achieved a wide linear relationship range from 10 to 300 fM with a low limit of detection (8.13 fM). Considering the accessible operation, favorable performance, and high universality of this strategy, this work may be used to analyze other mRNAs of bacteria.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are genetic materials in the human body that play important roles in storing, copying, and transmitting genetic information. Abnormal nucleic acid sequences, base mutations, and genetic changes often lead to cancer and other diseases. Meanwhile, methylated DNA is one of the main epigenetic modifications, which is considered to be an excellent biomarker in the early detection, prognosis, and treatment of cancers. Therefore, a multifunctional electrochemical biosensor was constructed with sturdy tetrahedral tripods, which assisted multiple tandem hairpins through base complementary pairing and effective ultra-sensitive detection of targets (DNA, microRNA, and methylated DNA). In the experiments, experimental conditions were optimized, and different DNA concentrations in serum were detected to verify the sensitivity of the biosensor and the feasibility of this protocol. In addition, microRNA and DNA methylation were detected through different designs of tetrahedral tripods (TTs) that capture probes to prove the superiority of this scheme. A sturdy pyramid structure of TTs extremely enhanced the capture efficiency of targets. The targets triggered the one-step isothermal multi-tandem amplification reaction by incubating multiple hairpin assemblies. To our knowledge, a combination of two parts, which greatly reduced background interference and decreased non-specific substance interference, has appeared for the first time in this paper. Moreover, the load area of electrochemical substances was significantly increased than that in previous studies. This greatly increased the detection range and detection limit of targets. The electrochemical signal responses were generated in freely diffusing hexaammineruthenium(iii) chloride (RuHex). RuHex could adhere to the DNA phosphate backbone by a powerful electrostatic attraction, causing increased current responses. Schematic illustration of the fabricated electrochemical biosensor. TTs assisted multiple tandem hairpins assembly for ultra-sensitive detection of target DNA.![]()

Abstract
Nucleic acid detection is of great importance in a variety of areas, from life science and clinical diagnosis to environmental monitoring and food safety. Unfortunately, nucleic acid targets are always found in trace amounts and their response signals are difficult to be detected. Amplification mechanisms are then practically needed to either duplicate nucleic acid targets or enhance the detection signals. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most popular and powerful techniques for nucleic acid analysis. But the requirement of costly devices for precise thermo-cycling procedures in PCR has severely hampered the wide applications of PCR. Fortunately, isothermal molecular reactions have emerged as promising alternatives. The past decade has witnessed significant progress in the research of isothermal molecular reactions utilizing hairpin DNA probes (HDPs). Based on the nucleic acid strand interaction mechanisms, the hairpin DNA-mediated isothermal amplification (HDMIA) techniques can be mainly divided into three categories: strand assembly reactions, strand decomposition reactions, and strand creation reactions. In this review, we introduce the basics of HDMIA methods, including the sensing principles, the basic and advanced designs, and their wide applications, especially those benefiting from the utilization of G-quadruplexes and nanomaterials during the past decade. We also discuss the current challenges encountered, highlight the potential solutions, and point out the possible future directions in this prosperous research area.

Abstract
The multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging strategy has generally been applied to the multiplexed detection of multiple analytes of interest such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Herein, it was used for the first time to improve both the specificity and sensitivity of a novel mass spectroscopic platform for miRNA detection. The mass spectroscopic platform was developed through the integration of the ligation reaction, hybridization chain reaction amplification, multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The high specificity resulted from the adoption of the ligation reaction is further enhanced by the multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging strategy. The combination of hybridization chain reaction amplification and metal nanoparticle tagging endows the proposed platform with the feature of high sensitivity. The proposed mass spectrometric platform achieved quite satisfactory quantitative results for Let-7a in real-world cell line samples with accuracy comparable to that of the real-time quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method. Its limit of detection and limit of quantification for Let-7a were experimentally determined to be about 0.5 and 10 fM, respectively. Furthermore, due to the unique way of utilizing the multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging strategy, the proposed platform can unambiguously discriminate between the target miRNA and nontarget ones with single-nucleotide polymorphisms based on their response patterns defined by the relative mass spectral intensities among the multiple tagged metal elements and can also provide location information of the mismatched bases. Its unique advantages over conventional miRNA detection methods make the proposed platform a promising and alternative tool in the fields of clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria levels are significantly related with disease control, clinical diagnosis, and even environmental monitoring. It is becoming highly urgent to achieve ultrasensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria and efficient combat of bacterial infection. Toward this end, we have assembled a DNA Pom-Pom nanostructure (PP-N) based multifunctional platform for pathogenic bacteria determination and inactivation. In particular, one DNA oligonucleotide probe that serve as a trigger was specifically designed for the autonomous cross-opening of metastable DNA hairpin probes and long dsDNA structure formation, achieving a catalytic self-assembly of DNA nanostructure. Numerous DNA strands in this PP-N assembly provide sufficient interaction sites for functional domains and connector, showing high programmability, excellent biostability, as well as selective target recognition. With these properties, the fluorescence dyes modified PP-N platform showed excellent bacteria analysis with both excellent selectivity and ultrasensitive determination limit as low as 2.0 CFU/mL. Furthermore, the aptamer-functionalized and antibiotics loaded PP-N platform demonstrate excellent merits of high antibiotics-loading capacity and negligible cytotoxicity to targets. Therefore, this DNA PP-N assembly based multifunctional platform promise its great application in targeted sensing, combating bacterial infection, and potential clinic therapy.

Abstract
Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) can be divided into two categories: linear HCR and nonlinear HCR. In traditional linear HCR, the relatively slow kinetics and less sufficient sensitivity largely limit its scope of application. In the nonlinear HCR system, under the trigger of the initiator, the judicious designed substrate sequences (hairpin or hairpin-free) will self-assembly to dendritic or branched DNA nanostructures with exponential growth kinetics. Given the advantages of its enzyme-free, high-order growth kinetic, high sensitivity, and simple operation, nonlinear HCR is regarded as a powerful signal amplifier for the detection of biomarkers by integrating with versatile sensing platforms in the past few decades. In this review, we describe the basic features of nonlinear HCR mechanism and classify the nonlinear HCR into several categories based on their self-assembly mechanisms: the branched HCR, dendritic HCR, hydrogel-based clamped HCR, and other types of HCR. Then, we summarize the recent development of nonlinear HCR in biosensing, such as nucleic acid, protein, enzyme activities, and cancer cell detection, etc., and we also review the current applications of nonlinear HCR in bioimaging (mRNA in situ imaging). We choose several representative works to further illustrate the analysis mechanisms via various detection platforms, such as fluorescence, electrochemical, colorimetric, etc. At last, we also review the challenges and further perspectives of nonlinear HCR in the use of bioanalysis.

Abstract
With the continuous development of biosensors, researchers have focused increasing attention on various signal amplification strategies to pursue superior performance for more applications. In comparison with other signal amplification strategies, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a powerful signal amplification technique shows its certain charm owing to nonenzymatic and isothermal features. Recently, on the basis of conventional HCR, this technique has been developed and improved rapidly, and a variety of HCR-based biosensors with excellent performance have been reported. Herein, we present a systematic and critical review on the research progress of HCR in biosensors in the last five years, including the newly developed HCR strategies such as multibranched HCR, migration HCR, localized HCR, in situ HCR, netlike HCR, and so on, as well as the combination strategies of HCR with isothermal signal amplification techniques, nanomaterials, and functional DNA molecules. By illustrating some representative works, we also summarize the advantage and challenge of HCR in biosensors, and offer a deep discussion of the latest progress and future development trends of HCR in biosensors.

Abstract
A novel reverse transcription-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) strategy for miRNA detection has been developed. This method consists of two stem-loop probes inspired by the dumbbell-shaped amplicons and inner primers used in conventional LAMP reactions. Termed "terminal hairpin formation and self-priming" (THSP), this reaction incorporates phosphorothioated (PS) modifications to achieve DNA folding and extension without primers. The final signal is monitored by a sequence-specific detection probe, which minimizes the background noise. We suggest that our rapid, facile, and reliable LAMP method will be a promising candidate for detecting miRNA in biomedical applications.

Abstract
A hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification-based electrochemical impedimetric biosensor is fabricated for the quick, sensitive, and specific detection of miRNA-21 (miR-21) via monitoring of electrode interfacial property changes in real-time. Two sequences of H1 and H2 are adopted to trigger HCR amplification. A large amount of linear DNA concatemer are formed which could change the interfacial properties of the electrode. Interfacial charge transfer resistance difference (Rct) is probed via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Randles equivalent circuit. After amplifying via HCR, oligonucleotides with negatively charged repelling [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- ions can form a spatial blockage. HCR amplification strategy markedly enhanced the electrochemical signal with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 4.63 fM (S/N = 3). This strategy exhibited excellent selectivity for three different miRNAs: miR-199a, miR-141, and miR-155. Moreover, results show that the proposed method can be applied to miR-21 detection in the total RNA extracted from five cells. This work presents an enzyme-free and label-free EIS nucleic acid sensor for sensitively and selectively detecting miR-21, offering a promising approach in early diseases diagnosis.

Abstract
The point of fabricating ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based biosensors should be focused on how to maintain high immune recognition of antigens by antibodies in whole process. That is not effortless due to the structure of the protein can be destroyed root in toxic nanocarriers, excessive cyclic potential and superoxide radicals in coreactant, all of which can lead to reduce the bioactivity of antigen and antibody. In this work, the effect of negative voltage and divers coreactant on protein bioactivity were verified. Based on that, a motivated ECL biosensor with good biocompatibility was fabricated for procalcitonin (PCT) detection using Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) as low-potential cathodic luminophor and K2S2O8 as non-toxic coreactant, respectively. Besides, highly-branched Cu2O was utilized to catalyze K2S2O8 and produce more radical anion SO4•-, which can oxidize Au NCs•- to generate more high-energy-state Au NCs*, thus doubling the ECL intensity to meet the requirements of trace analysis. In addition, protein A (PA) as specific antibody capturer was employed to bind the Fc region of anti-PCT in an orientated way, further maintaining the physiological activity of antibody. As expected, all strategies undoubtedly practically improved the immune recognition of the biosensor and reduced the detection limit to 2.90 fg/mL.
