Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) have played a significant role in the evolution of modern nanoscience and nanotechnology in terms of colloidal synthesis, general understanding of nanocrystal growth mechanisms, and their impact in a wide range of applications. They exhibit strong visible colors due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that depends on their size, shape, composition, and the surrounding dielectric environment. Under resonant excitation, the LSPR of plasmonic NPs leads to a strong field enhancement near their surfaces and thus enhances various light-matter interactions. These unique optical properties of plasmonic NPs have been used to design chemical and biological sensors. Over the last few decades, colloidal plasmonic NPs have been greatly exploited in sensing applications through LSPR shifts (colorimetry), surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface-enhanced fluorescence, and chiroptical activity. Although colloidal plasmonic NPs have emerged at the forefront of nanobiosensors, there are still several important challenges to be addressed for the realization of plasmonic NP-based sensor kits for routine use in daily life. In this comprehensive review, researchers of different disciplines (colloidal and analytical chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine) have joined together to summarize the past, present, and future of plasmonic NP-based sensors in terms of different sensing platforms, understanding of the sensing mechanisms, different chemical and biological analytes, and the expected future technologies. This review is expected to guide the researchers currently working in this field and inspire future generations of scientists to join this compelling research field and its branches.

[PMID: 37722343 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
Genomic biomarkers of cancer are based on changes in nucleic acids, which include abnormal expression levels of some miRNAs, point mutations in DNA sequences, and altered levels of DNA methylation. The presence of tumor-related nucleic acids in body fluids (blood, saliva, or urine) makes it possible to achieve a non-invasive early-stage cancer diagnosis. Currently existing techniques for the discovery of nucleic acids require complex, time-consuming, costly assays and have limited multiplexing abilities. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopy technique that is able to provide molecular specificity combined with trace sensitivity. SERS has gained research attention as a tool for the detection of nucleic acids because of its promising potential: label-free SERS can decrease the complexity of assays currently used with fluorescence-based detection due to the absence of the label, while labeled SERS may outperform the gold standard in terms of the multiplexing ability. The first papers about SERS-based methods for the measurement of genomic biomarkers were written in 2008, and since then, more than 150 papers have been published. The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate the proposed SERS-based methods in terms of their level of development and their potential for liquid biopsy application, as well as to contribute to their further evolution by attracting research attention to the field. This goal will be reached by grouping, on the basis of their experimental protocol, all the published manuscripts on the topic and evaluating each group in terms of its limit of detection and applicability to real body fluids. Thus, the methods are classified according to their working principles into five main groups, including capture-based, displacement-based, sandwich-based, enzyme-assisted, and specialized protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune diseases (AD) are severe pathophysiological ailments that are stimulated by an exaggerated immunogenic response towards self-antigens, which can cause systemic or site-specific organ damage. An array of complex genetic and epigenetic facets majorly contributes to the progression of AD, thus providing significant insight into the regulatory mechanism of microRNA (miRNA). miRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs that have been identified as essential contributors to the post-transcriptional regulation of host genome expression and as crucial regulators of a myriad of biological processes such as immune homeostasis, T helper cell differentiation, central and peripheral tolerance, and immune cell development. AIMS This article tends to deliberate and conceptualize the brief pathogenesis and pertinent epigenetic regulatory mechanism as well as miRNA networks majorly affecting five different ADs namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) thereby providing novel miRNA-based theranostic interventions. RESULTS & DISCUSSION Pertaining to the differential expression of miRNA attributed in target tissues and cellular bodies of innate and adaptive immunity, a paradigm of scientific expeditions suggests an optimistic correlation between immunogenic dysfunction and miRNA alterations. CONCLUSION Therefore, it is not astonishing that dysregulations in miRNA expression patterns are now recognized in a wide spectrum of disorders, establishing themselves as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Owing to its theranostic potencies, miRNA targets have been widely utilized in the development of biosensors and other therapeutic molecules originating from the same.

Abstract
Cargo molecule-encapsulated DNA capsules synthesized with a solid sacrificial template have elicited significant interest in the last decade and have been used for active materials in applications ranging from biosensors to drug delivery. However, the correlation between template properties and the subsequent assembly and triggered release behavior of the resultant carriers remain uninvestigated. In this study, ethylene glycol (EG) was added during the CaCO3 precipitation synthesis to yield particles of various sizes and surface properties, and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-responsive release characteristics of the fabricated DNA capsules affected by these particle properties were investigated. The geometry, crystallization, and surface morphology of the CaCO3 particles co-precipitated at various EG concentrations were characterized. We discuss the integrity of cross-linking hybridization, fluorescent molecule internalization, degree of leakage, and release efficiency of the resulting DNA capsules and their relevance brought by particle properties. To achieve efficient encapsulation and cargo release, the surface roughness of the CaCO3 particles was explored and was deemed a key determinant of the compactness of the DNA shell after template removal. This effect was particularly strong in CaCO3 particles in connection with high EG concentrations. The DNA capsules fabricated using 83% EG exhibited low leakage, high loading, and moderate release efficiencies as well as a greater apparent association constant with ATP due to their small particle size and the high-integrity DNA shells.

Abstract
Precision healthcare aims to improve patient health by integrating prevention measures with early disease detection for prompt treatments. For the delivery of preventive healthcare, cutting-edge diagnostics that enable early disease detection must be clinically adopted. Duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) is a useful tool for bioanalysis since it can precisely digest DNA contained in duplexes. DSN is commonly used in biomedical and life science applications, including the construction of cDNA libraries, detection of microRNA, and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) recognition. Herein, following the comprehensive introduction to the field, we highlight the clinical applicability, multi-analyte miRNA, and SNP clinical assays for disease diagnosis through large-cohort studies using DSN-based fluorescent methods. In fluorescent platforms, the signal is produced based on the probe (dyes, TaqMan, or molecular beacon) properties in proportion to the target concentration. We outline the reported fluorescent biosensors for SNP detection in the next section. This review aims to capture current knowledge of the overlapping miRNAs and SNPs' detection that have been widely associated with the pathophysiology of cancer, cardiovascular, neural, and viral diseases. We further highlight the proficiency of DSN-based approaches in complex biological matrices or those constructed on novel nano-architectures. The outlooks on the progress in this field are discussed.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor driven by CRISPR/Cas12a was proposed for on-site nucleic acid detection. We tactfully modified single-strand DNA (ssDNA) with a target-responsive Prussian blue (PB) nanolabel to form a probe and fastened it in the microplate. Attributed to the specific base pairing and highly efficient trans-cleavage ability of the CRISPR/Cas12a effector, precise target DNA recognition and signal amplification can be achieved, respectively. In the presence of target DNA, trans-cleavage towards the probe was activated, leading to the release of a certain number of PB nanoparticles (NPs). Then, these free PB NPs would be removed. Under alkali treatment, the breakdown of the remaining PB NPs in the microplate was triggered, producing massive ferricyanide anions (Fe(CN)64-), which could exhibit a unique characteristic Raman peak that was located in the "biological Raman-silent region". By mixing the alkali-treated solution with the SERS substrate, Au@Ag core-shell NP, the concentration of the target DNA was finally exhibited as SERS signals with undisturbed background, which can be detected by a portable Raman spectrometer. Importantly, this strategy could display an ultralow detection limit of 224 aM for target DNA. Furthermore, by targeting cow milk as the adulterated ingredient in goat milk, the proposed biosensor was successfully applied to milk authenticity detection.

Abstract
Accurate detection and imaging of tumor-related microRNA (miRNA) in living cells hold great promise for early cancer diagnosis and prognosis. One of the challenges is to develop methods that enable the identification of multiple miRNAs simultaneously to further improve the detection accuracy. Herein, a simultaneous detection and imaging method of two miRNAs was established by using a programmable designed DNA tetrahedron nanostructure (DTN) probe that includes a nucleolin aptamer (AS1411), two miRNA capture strands, and two pairs of metastable catalytic hairpins at different vertexes. The DTN probe exhibited enhanced tumor cell recognition ability, excellent stability and biocompatibility, and fast miRNA recognition and reaction kinetics. It was found that the DTN probe could specifically enter tumor cells, in which the capture strand could hybridize with miRNAs and initiate the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) only when the overexpressed miR-21 and miR-155 existed simultaneously, resulting in a distinct fluorescence resonance energy transfer signal and demonstrating the feasibility of this method for tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Chemical enhancement with charge transfer (CT) between the adsorbed Raman molecule and the semiconductor mainly contributed to semiconductor surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) WO3 hollow microsphere is first developed as a SERS-active substrate. This 3D WO3 has a smaller band gap and rich surface defects compared with flake WO3. Interestingly, these properties in the WO3 hollow microspheres lead to an increase in charge transfer, which causes a strong CT interaction between the substrate-Raman molecule interfaces, resulting in a large SERS enhancement. The 3D WO3 showed an excellent SERS performance with an enhancement factor (EF) of 1.6 × 106. Finally, a SERS biosensor is constructed based on the above-mentioned semiconductor materials, which can be used for the sensitive detection of miRNA 155 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.18 fM by employing a catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy. This work provides important guidance for semiconductor topography design to improve the SERS performance, supplying a new strategy for biomolecular analysis and disease diagnosis.

Translating cancer exosomes detection into the color change of phenol red based on target-responsive DNA microcapsules. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1192:339357.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that exosomes can be used as a potential biomarker for monitoring diseases, including cancer. However, enhancing the sensing performance in terms of convenience and sensitivity remains an urgent demand for exosomes detection. In this study, a pH-sensitive colorimetric biosensing strategy was developed for exosomes detection by integrating stimuli-responsive DNA microcapsules and acetylcholinesterase to produce acetic acid. The constructed DNA microcapsules consisted of DNA shells crosslinked by anti-CD63 aptamers and loaded with acetylcholinesterase. With exosomes addition, an energetically stabilized aptamer-CD63 compound was produced and microcapsules dissociated due to the reaction of surface protein CD63 of exosomes and aptamer of CD63, resulting in the release of encapsulated AChE. Through a simple centrifugation separation, unreacted DNA microcapsules were removed and the supernatant containing released acetylcholinesterase collected, which was then used for colorimetric exosomes detection through the ability of acetylcholinesterase to hydrolyze acetylcholine to release acetic acid. The resulting decreased solution pH was detected with phenol red indicator, with the sharp color transition conveniently by naked eye. Exosomes quantification was also achieved using the solution's absorption intensity ratio of 558 vs. 432 nm. The linear range was from 2.0 × 103 to 5.0 × 105 particles/μL, and the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 1.2 × 103 particles/μL and 2.2 × 103 particles/μL, respectively. In addition, this proposed strategy for exosomes detection showed a relative standard deviation of 3.1% and high recovery efficiency (>94%), exhibiting a bright application future in exsomes analysis.

Abstract
The oriented immobilization of sensing molecules (e.g., IgGs, receptors, lectins, and DNA aptamers) on sensor chips is particularly important for maximizing the potential of the sensing molecules, thereby enhancing the sensitivity and target-binding capacity of biosensors. We previously developed ∼30 nm bio-nanocapsules (ZZ-BNCs) consisting of the hepatitis B virus envelope L protein fused with the tandem form of protein A-derived IgG Fc-binding Z domain (ZZ-L protein). ZZ-BNC acts successfully as a scaffold, enhancing both the sensitivity and binding capacity of IgG, a Fc-fused receptor, and Fc-fused lectin to antigens, cytokines, and sugar chains through an oriented immobilization on a biosensor surface. To expand the versatility of ZZ-BNC, we modified ZZ-BNC by replacing the ZZ domain with a DNA-binding single-chain lambda Cro (scCro) domain, thereby developing scCro-BNC. The scCro-BNC was synthesized in yeast cells and homogeneously purified as ∼30 nm sized nanoparticles. In a quartz crystal microbalance, an scCro-BNC-coated sensor chip immobilized with thrombin-binding DNA aptamers showed an ∼5.5-fold higher thrombin-binding capacity and ∼6000-fold higher detection sensitivity than a sensor chip directly coated with DNA aptamers. In addition, the number of bound thrombin molecules per molecule of DNA aptamer increased by ∼7.8-fold with an scCro-BNC coating, consistent with the theoretical thrombin-binding capacity. Collectively, scCro-BNC was shown to perform as an ideal scaffold for maximizing the potential of the DNA aptamer by immobilizing it in an oriented manner. Facilitating a highly sensitive detection of various target molecules, these BNC-based scaffolds are expected to improve a wide range of biosensors while minimizing the number of sensing molecules required.

Abstract
Energy transfer (ET) is an effective tool to construct photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors for its high sensitivity. Since the materials to develop ET systems are limited, exploring new and universal ET systems is significant. Herein, new photoactive nanosheets (R-CDs NS) formed by self-assembling of red emission carbon dots (R-CDs) have been synthesized, which exhibit wide visible light absorption and stable photocurrent response and have an obvious sensitization effect for TiO2. Gold nanocages (AuNCs), whose absorption overlap well with the R-CDs' emission, were synthesized and served as PEC quenchers for the photosensitized system that consists of TiO2 and R-CDs. The ET between R-CDs and AuNCs can boost the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of R-CDs and results in a quenched photocurrent of this system. MicroRNA-155 was chosen as a model target. First, the nanocomposite containing R-CDs NS and AuNCs was prepared through DNA modification and hybridization. In the absence of the target, AuNCs and R-CDs were close enough for ET, with TiO2-modified FTO serving as the working electrode, and a quenched photocurrent was detected. In the presence of the target, the disintegration of the nanocomposite was induced through target hybridization and DNA hydrolyzation, leading to the separation of AuNCs and R-CDs NS, and the ET disappeared and led to a high photocurrent. With duplex-specific nuclease enzyme-assisted target recycling, the high sensitivity enabled the sensor to monitor the target in cancer cells. The sensor has a low detection limit of 71 aM. The sensing platform has high sensitivity, good selectivity, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Although multidrug combinations are an effective therapeutic strategy for serious disease in clinical practice, their therapeutic effect may be reduced because they conflict with each other medicinally in certain cases. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop a single drug carrier for precise multidrug delivery to avoid this interference. A reverse coordination method is reported that fabricates a double‐layer barium sulphate microcapsule (DL@BS MS) for two drugs separately loading simultaneously. In addition, BS nanoclusters were synthesised in situ inside the DL@BS MSs for real‐time computed tomography (CT) imaging. The results showed that the DL@BS MSs with a particle size of approximately 2 mm exhibited a uniform sphere. Because BS nanoclusters have a high X‐ray attenuation coefficient, the retention of DL@BS MSs in the digestive tract could be monitored through CT imaging in real time. More important, the core‐shell structure of DL@BS MSs encapsulating two different drugs could be released in spatiotemporal order in an acidic stomach environment. The as‐synthesis DL@BS MSs with a core‐shell structure and real‐time imaging performance provide an ideal carrier for the oral administration of multiple drugs simultaneously loaded but sequentially released.

Abstract
A fundamental challenge, particularly, in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis is the detection of analytes that are distant from the sensing surface. To tackle this challenge, we herein report a long-range SERS (LR-SERS) substrate supporting an extension of electric field afforded by long-range surface plasmon resonance (LRSPR) excited in symmetrical dielectric environments. The LR-SERS substrate has a sandwich configuration with a triangle-shaped gold nanohole array embedded between two dielectrics with similar refractive indices (i.e., MgF2 and water). The finite-difference time-domain simulation was applied to guide the design of the LR-SERS substrate, which was engineered to have a wavelength-matched LRSPR with 785 nm excitation. The simulations predict that the LR-SERS substrate exhibits great SERS enhancement at distances of more than 10 nm beyond its top surface, and the enhancement factor (EF) has been improved by three orders of magnitude on LR-SERS substrates compared to that on conventional substrates. The experimental results show good agreement with the simulations, an EF of 4.1 × 105 remains available at 22 nm above the LR-SERS substrate surface. The LR-SERS substrate was further applied as a sensing platform to detect microRNA (miRNA) let-7a coupled with a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) strategy. The developed sensor displays a wide linear range from 10 aM to 1 nM and an ultralow detection limit of 8.5 aM, making it the most sensitive among the current detection strategies for miRNAs based on the SERS-HCR combination to the best of our knowledge.

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrated an ultrasensitive detection platform for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) based on DNA microcapsules and a nonlinear hybridization chain reaction (NHCR). In the process, first, electrochemical signal molecules (Methylene Blue, MB) were sealed in the prepared DNA microcapsules. In the presence of PCB-72, DNA microcapsules could be dissociated with the conjugation of the aptamer and target, and meanwhile, the released DNA strand could initiate the NHCR and trigger the chain branching growth of DNA dendrimers. Because the released MBs were intercalated into the DNA dendrimer, enhanced electrochemical responses could be detected. This method exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity to PCB-72 with a detection limit of 0.001 ng mL-1. Furthermore, the present aptasensor was also capable of discriminating different PCB congeners. Therefore, the devised label-free and enzyme-free amplification electrochemical aptasensor strategy has great potential for the detection of PCB-72 in real samples, and this strategy may also become an attractive alternative for sensitive and selective small molecule, protein, nucleic acid and nuclease activity detection.

Abstract
The self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on a liquid phase interface is often employed as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform with advantages of simple preparation, high reproducibility, and a defect-free character, but they are limited to only detect a target with Raman signals. To overcome this problem, microRNA 155 without a Raman signal can be detected by a liquid phase interfacial ratiometric SERS platform. Compared with the typical solid phase SERS platform, we propose a distinctive strategy not only owning the advantages of the liquid phase interfacial platform but also breaking the limitation of recent liquid-liquid interfacial SERS analysis. This platform presents a fabulous sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.10 aM for microRNA 155. By simply altering the duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) enzyme amplification, our strategy can realize detection of a variety of microRNAs, paving the way to practical applications of a liquid phase SERS platform.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of optical biosensors for the detection of biomarkers associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is presented here, including microRNAs (miRNAs), C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and histidine, which are biomarkers that enable RA detection and/or monitoring. An overview of the different optical biosensors (based on fluorescence, plasmon resonances, interferometry, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) among other optical techniques) used to detect these biomarkers is given, describing their performance and main characteristics (limit of detection (LOD) and dynamic range), as well as the connection between the respective biomarker and rheumatoid arthritis. It has been observed that the relationship between the corresponding biomarker and rheumatoid arthritis tends to be obviated most of the time when explaining the mechanism of the optical biosensor, which forces the researcher to look for further information about the biomarker. This review work attempts to establish a clear association between optical sensors and rheumatoid arthritis biomarkers as well as to be an easy-to-use tool for the researchers working in this field.

Abstract
There is a need for effective vaccine delivery systems and vaccine adjuvants without extraneous excipients that can compromise or minimize their efficacy. Vaccine adjuvants cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) can effectively activate immune responses to secrete cytokines. However, CpG ODNs are not stable in serum due to enzymatic cleavage and are difficult to transport through cell membranes. Herein, DNA microcapsules made of CpG ODNs arranged into 3D nanostructures are developed to improve the serum stability and immunostimulatory effect of CpG. The DNA microcapsules allow encapsulation and co-delivery of cargoes, including glycogen. The DNA capsules, with >4 million copies of CpG motifs per capsule, are internalized in cells and accumulate in endosomes, where the Toll-like receptor 9 is engaged by CpG. The capsules induce up to 10-fold and 20-fold increases in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 secretion, respectively, in RAW264.7 cells compared with CpG ODNs. Furthermore, the microcapsules stimulate TNF-α and IL-6 secretion in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The immunostimulatory activity of the capsules correlates to their intracellular trafficking, endosomal confinement, and degradation, assessed by confocal and super-resolution microscopy. These DNA capsules can serve as both adjuvants to stimulate an immune reaction and vehicles to encapsulate vaccine peptides/genes to achieve synergistic immune effects.

Abstract
Natural hydrogels, due to their unique biological properties, have been used extensively for various medical and clinical examinations that are performed to investigate the signs of disease. Recently, complex-crosslinking strategies improved the mechanical properties and advanced approaches have resulted in the introduction of naturally derived hydrogels that exhibit high biocompatibility, with shape memory and self-healing characteristics. Moreover, the creation of self-assembled natural hydrogels under physiological conditions has provided the opportunity to engineer fine-tuning properties. To highlight recent studies of natural-based hydrogels and their applications for medical investigation, a critical review was undertaken using published papers from the Science Direct database. This review presents different natural-based hydrogels (natural, natural-synthetic hybrid and complex-crosslinked hydrogels), their historical evolution, and recent studies of medical examination applications. The application of natural-based hydrogels in the design and fabrication of biosensors, catheters and medical electrodes, detection of cancer, targeted delivery of imaging compounds (bioimaging) and fabrication of fluorescent bioprobes is summarised here. Without doubt, in future, more useful and practical concepts will be derived to identify natural-based hydrogels for a wide range of clinical examination applications.

Abstract
Artificial photoresponsive nanochannels have attracted widespread attention because of their capacity to achieve ion transport through light modulation. Herein, a biosensor for ultrasensitive miRNA-155 detection is devised based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) modified porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) photoresponsive nanochannels by atomic layer deposition (ALD). According to the optimized experimental results, when the cycles of ALD, the wavelength, and the power of the excitation laser are 70 cycles, 450 nm, and 80 mW, respectively, the most supreme photocurrent performance of these photoresponsive nanochannels are obtained. AAO nanochannels modified with MoS2 can work as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor by generating photoexcitation current; what is more, the high channel density in AAO can magnify the ion current signal response effectively by aggrandizing the flux of electroactive species. By using AAO photoresponsive nanochannels with an average diameter of 150 nm as PEC biosensor, an ultrasensitive detection record ranging from 0.01 fM to 0.01 nM with a detection limit of 3 aM can be achieved. This work not only proposes a simple method for manufacturing semiconductor photoresponsive nanochannels, but also exhibits great potential in the ultrasensitive detection of biomolecules.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) capsules, constructed by LbL (layer-by-layer)-adsorbing polymers on sacrificial templates, have become important carriers due to multifunctionality of materials adsorbed on their surface or encapsulated into their interior. They have been also been used broadly used as analytical tools. Chronologically and traditionally, chemical analytics has been developed first, which has long been synonymous with all analytics. But it is not the only development. To the best of our knowledge, a summary of all advances including their classification is not available to date. Here, we classify analytics, sensorics, and biosensorics functionalities implemented with polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules and coated particles according to the respective stimuli and application areas. In this classification, three distinct categories are identified: (I) chemical analytics (pH; K+, Na+, and Pb2+ ion; oxygen; and hydrogen peroxide sensors and chemical sensing with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)); (II) physical sensorics (temperature, mechanical properties and forces, and osmotic pressure); and (III) biosensorics and bioanalytics (fluorescence, glucose, urea, and protease biosensing and theranostics). In addition to this classification, we discuss also principles of detection using the above-mentioned stimuli. These application areas are expected to grow further, but the classification provided here should help (a) to realize the wealth of already available analytical and bioanalytical tools developed with capsules using inputs of chemical, physical, and biological stimuli and (b) to position future developments in their respective fields according to employed stimuli and application areas.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is one of the three major cancers, has attracted growing attention due to its high mortality, health care cost, and circumscribed therapeutic methods. Hence, the development of a fast, accurate, and flexible method to detect α-fetoprotein (AFP), the specific marker of HCC, is significant for diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Here, we constructed a novel SERS biosensing platform combining the target-responsive DNA hydrogel for the sensitive detection of AFP. The linker strand in DNA hydrogel is an aptamer that can specifically recognize AFP and accurately control the release of immunoglobulin G (IgG) encapsulated in hydrogel. In the presence of AFP, the hydrogels were disentangled and the IgG was released. Thereafter, the released IgG was captured by SERS probes and biofunctional magnetic beads through formation of sandwich-like structures, resulting in the signal of Raman tags decreasing in the supernatant after magnetic separation. Due to the ultrahigh sensitivity of the SERS biosensor, the proposed method has a wide detection linear range (50 pg/mL to 0.5 μg/mL) and a detection limit down to 50 pg/mL. Moreover, the sequence of the linker strand in the DNA hydrogel can be specifically encoded into a new aptamer that responds to other cancer markers. This convenient and inexpensive detection method provides a new strategy for the detection of tumor markers.

Abstract
MicroRNAs, essential for gene expression and physiological regulation, are considered to be reliable biomarkers for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Herein, a sensitive biosensor that uses a synergistically catalytic nanoprobe and improved toehold strand displacement reaction (TSDR) has been fabricated, and successfully applied to microRNA-155 (miR-155) detection. A nanoscale copper-based metal organic framework assembled by Pt nanoparticles and horseradish peroxidase (Cu-NMOF@PtNPs/HRP) served as a co-catalytic nanoprobe and was coupled with improved TSDR to achieve multiple amplifications. In the absence of miR-155, the tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) immobilized on the gold electrode were independent of the TSDR system because of the binding of the shielding region of the locked probe (LP) with the template probe (TP). Instead, the target would initiate the TSDR system, leading to the conformational change of TDNs and hybridization of the nanoprobe. Cu-NMOF@PtNPs/HRP exhibited extraordinary catalytic property towards the hydroquinone-hydrogen peroxide system, demonstrating that the nanoprobe exerted a concerted effect on the electrochemical performance of the biosensor. Under optimal conditions, the cathodic current exhibited a logarithmic relation over 0.50-1.0 × 105fM miR-155, with a detection limit of 0.13 fM, indicating that the constructed biosensor has considerable potential in the field of clinical disease diagnostics for miR-155.

Abstract
The Raman probe plays an essential role in sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay. Here, a novel Raman probe was developed by assembling gold nanoparticles in triangular pyramid DNA (TP-Au NPs). Such probe with intense electromagnetic hot spots can provide dramatically enhanced Raman scattering. Through assembling recognition DNA on one corner of the TP-DNA, the recognition event is definite and designable. The probe was characterized through TEM, and its SERS superiority was investigated. As models, circulating tumor cells and exosomes were detected with high sensitivity and selectivity by using this probe. Meanwhile, the developed SERS probe can also perform well in real world samples.
