Abstract
Signal transduction from non-nucleic acid ligands (small molecules and proteins) to structural changes of nucleic acids plays a crucial role in both biomedical analysis and cellular regulations. However, how to bridge between these two types of molecules without compromising the expandable complexity and programmability of the nucleic acid nanomachines is a critical challenge. Compared with the previously most widely applied transduction strategies, we review the latest advances of a kinetically controlled approach for ligand-oligonucleotide transduction in this Concept article. This new design works through an intrinsic conformational alteration of the nucleic acid aptamer upon the ligand binding as a governing factor for nucleic acid strand displacement reactions. The functionalities and applications of this transduction system as a ligand converter on biosensing and DNA computation are described and discussed. Furthermore, we propose some potential scenarios for utilization of this ligand transduction design to regulate gene expression through synthetic RNA switches in the cellular contexts. Finally, future perspectives regarding this ligand-oligonucleotide transduction platform are also discussed.

Abstract
During an epidemic or pandemic, the primary task is to rapidly develop precise diagnostic approaches and effective therapeutics. Oligonucleotide aptamer-based pathogen detection assays and control therapeutics are promising, as aptamers that specifically recognize and block pathogens can be quickly developed and produced through simple chemical synthesis. This work reviews common aptamer-based diagnostic techniques for communicable diseases and summarizes currently available aptamers that target various pathogens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Moreover, this review discusses how oligonucleotide aptamers might be leveraged to control pathogen propagation and improve host immune system responses. This review offers a comprehensive data source to the further develop aptamer-based diagnostics and therapeutics specific for infectious diseases.

Abstract
Given that a split aptamer provides a chance for the development of a sandwich assay for targets with only one aptamer, it has received extensive attention in biosensing. However, due to the lack of binding mechanisms and reliable methods, there were still a few split aptamers that bind to proteins. In this work, cardiac biomarker myoglobin (Myo) was selected as a model, a new strategy of engineering split aptamers was explored with atomic force spectroscopy (AFM), and split aptamers against target protein could be achieved by choosing the optimal binding probability between split aptamers and target. Then, the obtained split aptamers were designed for Myo detection based on dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results demonstrated that the obtained split aptamers could be used to detect targets in human serum. The strategy of engineering split aptamers has the advantages of being intuitive and reliable and could be a general strategy for obtaining split aptamers.

Abstract
Under coordination driving force of tungsten and rare-earth (RE) bridges, we synthesized a novel giant multi-tungsten-and-RE-bridging octameric tellurotungstate (TT) [H2N(CH3)2]16K8Na6H10[Pr8(H2O)20W16O48][B-α-TeW9O33]8·70H2O (1) in CH3CN-H2O mixed solvent. The cluster anion {[Pr8(H2O)20W16O48][B-α-TeW9O33]8}40- features sixteen WVI bridges, eight PrIII bridges and eight trivacant Keggin [B-α-TeW9O33]8- fragments, which the square {W4O12} cluster can be imagined as a seed to induce the aggregation of eight [B-α-TeW9O33]8- fragments by coordination driving force of additional twelve WVI bridges and eight PrIII ions. Furthermore, the 2D 1@DODA (dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide = DODA·Br) honeycomb composite material was prepared. The honeycomb morphology of the 1@DODA composite material provides rich binding sites for electrodepositing Au nanoparticles to make Au/1@DODA electrodes. The aptamer of 17β-estradiol (E2) hormone can be grafted to the Au/1@DODA electrodes via Au-S bonding interaction to construct the Au/1@DODA aptamer biosensors. By virtue of the specific recognition interaction of aptamer and the electrochemical signal amplification function of methylene blue and cDNA, the Au/1@DODA aptamer biosensors can realize the electrochemical detection of E2. This finding not only offers an electrochemical biosensing platform for detecting E2, but also expands POM-based composite materials in the applications of clinical detection and biological analysis.
