Feng H, Luo M, Zhu G, Mokeira KD, Yang Y, Lv Y, Tan Q, Lei X, Zeng H, Cheng H, Xu S. A facile electrochemical aptasensor for chloramphenicol detection based on synergistically photosensitization enhanced by SYBR Green I and MoS 2. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 672:236-243. [PMID: 38838631 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.109] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
This study reports the development of a photocatalytic electrochemical aptasensor for the purpose of detecting chloramphenicol (CAP) antibiotic residues in water by utilizing SYBR Green I (SG) and chemically exfoliated MoS2 (ce-MoS2) as synergistically signal-amplification platforms. The Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrodeposited onto the surface of an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. After that, the thiolate-modified cDNA, also known as capture DNA, was combined with the aptamer. Subsequently, photosensitized SG molecules and ce-MoS2 nanomaterial were inserted into the groove of the resultant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). The activation of the photocatalytic process upon exposure to light resulted in the generation of singlet oxygen. The singlet oxygen effectively split the dsDNA, resulting in significant enhancement in the current of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. When the CAP was present, both SG molecules and ce-MoS2 broke away from the dsDNA, which turned off the photosensitization response, leading to significant reduction in the current of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor exhibited a linear relationship between the current of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- with logarithmic concentrations of CAP from 20 to 1000 nM, with a detection of limit (3σ) of 3.391 nM. The aptasensor also demonstrated good selectivity towards CAP in the presence of interfering antibiotics, such as tetracycline, streptomycin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sulfadimethoxine. Additionally, the results obtained from the analysis of natural water samples using the proposed aptasensor were consistent with the findings acquired through the use of a liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Therefore, with its simplicity and high selectivity, this aptasensor can potentially detect alternative antibiotics in environmental water samples by replacing the aptamers based on photosensitization.

Abstract
In this paper, a few-layer WS2 nanosheets-based electrochemical biosensor was fabricated for the highly sensitive detection of breast cancer tumor marker miRNA-4484. Firstly, few-layer WS2 nanosheets were prepared by shear stripping and characterized by SEM, TEM, AFM and UV spectrophotometer. After modification of few-layer WS2 nanosheets on the electrode surface, the miRNA probe was fixed on the few-layer WS2 nanosheets by polycytosine (PolyC). Then short-chain miRNA containing PolyC was used as the blocking agent to close the excess active sites on the surface of WS2 nanosheets to complete the fabrication of the sensor biosensing interface. Finally, the current changes caused by the specific binding of miRNA-4484 to the probe were analyzed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results showed that the sensor had a good linear relationship for the detection of miRNA-4484 in the concentration range of 1 aM-100 fM, and the detection limit was as low as 1.61 aM. In addition, the electrochemical sensor had excellent selectivity, stability and reproducibility. The artificial sample tests indicated that the developed biosensors have the potential for clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Composite materials can take advantages of the functional benefits of multiple pure nanomaterials to a greater degree than single nanomaterials alone. The UCNPs-MoS2 composite is a nano-application platform that combines upconversion luminescence and photothermal properties. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are inorganic nanomaterials with long-wavelength excitation and short-wavelength tunable emission capabilities, and are able to effectively convert near-infrared (NIR) light into visible light for increased photostability. However, UCNPs have a low capacity for absorbing visible light, whereas MoS2 shows better absorption in the ultraviolet and visible regions. By integrating the benefits of UCNPs and MoS2, UCNPs-MoS2 nanocomposites can convert NIR light with a higher depth of detection into visible light for application with MoS2 through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), which compensates for the issues of MoS2's low tissue penetration light-absorbing wavelengths and expands its potential biological applications. Therefore, starting from the construction of UCNPs-MoS2 nanoplatforms, herein, we review the research progress in biological applications, including biosensing, phototherapy, bioimaging, and targeted drug delivery. Additionally, the current challenges and future development trends of UCNPs-MoS2 nanocomposites for biological applications are also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, we present an array-based chemical nose sensor that utilizes a set of ensemble-modified aptamer (EMAmer) probes to sense subtle physicochemical changes on the cell surface for cancer cell identification. The EMAmer probes are engineered by domain-selective incorporation of different types and/or copies of positively charged functional groups into DNA scaffolds, and their differential interactions with cancer cells can be transduced through competitive adsorption of fluorophore-labeled EMAmer probes loaded on MoS2 nanosheets. We demonstrate that this MoS2-EMAmer-based sensor array enables rapid and effective discrimination among six types of cancer cells and their mixtures with a concentration of 104 cells within 60 min, achieving a 94.4% accuracy in identifying blinded unknown cell samples. The established MoS2-EMAmer sensing platform is anticipated to show significant promise in the advancement of cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
For the purpose of investigating the chemical enhancement of amorphous semiconductors as well as increasing the sensitivity of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, titanium dioxide (TiO2) precursors were calcined at different temperatures to generate crystallized TiO2 (c-TiO2) and amorphous TiO2 (a-TiO2) nanosheets, respectively. Afterward, a two-dimensional (2D) a-TiO2/Ag nanosheet SERS substrate was successfully fabricated using electrostatic interaction between a-TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles. In order to demonstrate a greater SERS sensitivity on a-TiO2/Ag compared to either c-TiO2 or Ag nanoparticles alone, the SERS probe molecules rhodamine 6G (R6G) and malachite green (MG) were utilized. Based on the results of SERS detections for probe molecules and contaminants, it demonstrates that a-TiO2/Ag nanosheets produce highly sensitive and repeatable Raman signals. The detectable concentration limits for R6G and MG were found to be 10-11 M and 10-10 M, respectively. And it has been determined that the system exhibits an enhancement factor (EF) of up to 1 × 108. The limit of detection for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid and alizarin red can both reach 1 × 10-8. Furthermore, a finite-difference time-domain simulation is performed in order to evaluate the magnetic field strength generated by Ag nanoparticles. As a result of the simulation, it is evident that the actual EF is smaller than the calculated one, leading support to the view that a-TiO2 nanosheets have a beneficial effect on the chemical enhancement of SERS.

Abstract
Following the discovery of graphene, there has been a surge in exploring other two-dimensional (2D) nanocrystals, including MoS2. Over the past few decades, MoS2-based nanocrystals have shown great potential applications in biosensing, owing to their excellent physico-chemical properties. Unlike graphene, MoS2 shows layer-dependent finite band gaps (∼1.8 eV for a single layer and ∼1.2 for bulk) and relatively strong interaction with the electromagnetic spectrum. The tunability of the size, shape, and intrinsic properties, such as high optical absorption, electron mobility, mechanical strength and large surface area, of MoS2 nanocrystals, make them excellent alternative probe materials for preparing optical, photothermal, and electrical bio/immunosensors. In this review, we will provide insights into the rapid evolutions in bio/immunosensing applications based on MoS2 and its nanohybrids. We emphasized the various synthesis, characterization, and functionalization routes of 2D MoS2 nanosheets/nanoflakes. Finally, we discussed various fabrication techniques and the critical parameters, including the limit of detection (LOD), linear detection range, and sensitivity of the biosensors. In addition, the role of MoS2 in enhancing the performance of biosensors, the limitations associated with current biosensing technologies, future challenges, and clinical implications are addressed. The advantages/disadvantages of each biosensor technique are also summarized. Collectively, we believe that this review will encourage resolute researchers to follow up further with the state-of-the-art MoS2-based biosensing technology.

Abstract
Semiconductor materials have become a competitive candidate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. However, powdered semiconductors are difficult to execute a fast in situ detection for trace analytes. Here, we developed a new flexible semiconductor SERS substrate by in situ densely growing anatase TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of cotton fabric through a filtration-hydrothermal method, in which TiO2 exhibits excellent controllability in size and distribution by regulating the ratio of water to alcohol in synthesis and the number of filtration-hydrothermal repetitive cycle. Cotton fabric/TiO2 (Cot/TiO2) substrate exhibits a high SERS activity and excellent spectral repeatability. The developed substrate has an ultra-high stability that can withstand long-term preservation; it can even resist the corrosions of strong acid and alkali, as well as high temperature up to 100 °C and low temperature down to - 20 °C. The flexible substrate can be used to carry out a rapid in situ detection for quinolone antibiotic (enrofloxacin and enoxacin) residues on the fish body surface by using a simple swabbing method, with high quantitative detection potential (up to an order of magnitude of 10-7 M), and even for the simultaneous detection of both drug residues. The flexible substrate also exhibits an excellent recyclability up to 6 recycles in the actual SERS detection.

Abstract
MiRNA-155 is a typical biomarker for breast cancer. Since its low concentration in the physiological environment and the limitations of conventional miRNA detection methods like Northern imprinting and RT-qPCR, convenient, real-time, and rapid detection methods are urgently needed. In this work, an electrochemical biosensor was constructed based on the flower-like MoSe2@1T-MoS2 heterojunction electrode material and specific RNA recognition probes, which can realize the rapid determination of miRNA-155 content with a wide detection range from 1 fM to 1 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.34 fM. Furthermore, the contents of miRNA-155 in blood samples of tumor-bearing mice and normal mice were measured as 724.93 pM and 21.42 pM, respectively by this biosensor, demonstrating its strong identification ability and miRNA-155 can be regarded as an ideal diagnostic marker. On this basis, a portable sensor platform was designed for on-site detection simulation and showed good recovery efficiency from 95.80% to 98.69%. Meanwhile, compared with the standard detection method RT-qPCR, the accuracy and reliability of the biosensor were verified, indicating that the biosensor has the potential to provide point-of-care testing (POCT) for the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Abstract
The interesting adsorption affinity of two-dimensional nanosheets to single stranded over double stranded nucleic acids have stimulated the exploration of these materials in biosensing. Herein, MoS2 nanosheets decorated anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane was simply prepared by suction filtration. The MoS2/AAO hybrid membrane was initially applied to the electrochemical detection of microRNA using let-7a as the model. When let-7a was incubated with its complementary DNA, double stranded DNA-RNA formed and which displayed weak adsorption capability to the hybrid membrane. And thus the steric effect combining the electrostatic repulsion of the backbone phosphate of nucleic acids for [Fe(CN)6]3- transport across the hybrid membrane varied with the concentration of let-7a. In this way, a label-free electrochemical detection method for microRNA was established by monitoring the change of the redox current of [Fe(CN)6]3-. To further improve the detection sensitivity of the method, we proposed two separate strategies focusing on the amplification of the target-induced steric hindrance with DNA nanostructure and the magnification of the electrode sensitivity for [Fe(CN)6]3- by electrode modification. By using the two strategies, the hybrid membrane based-detection method exhibited broad linear range, low detection limit and good selectivity as well as reproducibility. Therefore, this study provided a proof-of-concept for the application of two-dimensional material to nucleic acids detection.

Structural Significance of Hydrophobic and Hydrogen Bonding Interaction for Nanoscale Hybridization of Antiseptic Miramistin Molecules with Molybdenum Disulfide Monolayers. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041702. [PMID: 36838688 PMCID: PMC9966762 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
This paper reports an easy route to immobilize the antiseptic drug miramistin (MR) molecules between the sheets of molybdenum disulfide, known for excellent photothermal properties. Two hybrid layered compounds (LCs) with regularly alternating monolayers of MR and MoS2, differing in thickness of organic layer are prepared and studied by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), density functional theory (DFT) calculations and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) topological analysis. The obtained structural models elucidate the noncovalent interaction network of MR molecules confined in the two-dimensional spacing surrounded by sulfide sheets. It emerged that the characteristic folded geometry of MR molecule previously evidenced for pure miramistin is preserved in the hybrid structures. Quantification of the energetics of bonding interactions unveils that the most important contribution to structure stabilization of both compounds is provided by the weak but numerous CH…S bonding contacts. They are accompanied by the intra- and inter-molecular interactions within the MR layers, with dominating bonding effect of intermolecular hydrophobic interaction. The results obtained in the models provide a comprehensive understanding of the driving forces controlling the assembly of MR and MoS2 and may lead towards the development of novel promising MoS2-based photothermal therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) in men globally increases as the standard of living improves. Blood serum biomarker prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection is the gold standard assay that do not meet the requirements of early detection. Herein, a solution-gated graphene transistor (SGGT) biosensor for the ultrasensitive and rapid quantification detection of the early prostate cancer-relevant biomarker, miRNA-21 is reported. The designed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes immobilized on the Au gate can hybridize effectively with the miRNA-21 molecules targets and induce the Dirac voltage shifts of SGGT transfer curves. The limit of detection (LOD) of the sensor can reach 10-20 M without amplification and any chemical or biological labeling. The detection linear range is from 10-20 to 10-12 M. The sensor can realize real-time detection of the miRNA-21 molecules in less than 5 min and can well distinguish one-mismatched miRNA-21 molecule. The blood serum samples from the patients without RNA extraction and amplification are measured. The results demonstrated that the biosensor can well distinguish the cancer patients from the control group and has higher sensitivity (100%) than PSA detection (58.3%). Contrastingly, it can be found that the PSA level is not directly related to PCa.

Abstract
Early detection of cancers and their precise subtyping are essential to patient stratification and effective cancer management. Data-driven identification of expression biomarkers coupled with microfluidics-based detection shows promise to revolutionize cancer diagnosis and prognosis. MicroRNAs play key roles in cancers and afford detection in tissue and liquid biopsies. In this review, we focus on the microfluidics-based detection of miRNA biomarkers in AI-based models for early-stage cancer subtyping and prognosis. We describe various subclasses of miRNA biomarkers that could be useful in machine-based predictive modeling of cancer staging and progression. Strategies for optimizing the feature space of miRNA biomarkers are necessary to obtain a robust signature panel. This is followed by a discussion of the issues in model construction and validation towards producing Software-as-Medical-Devices (SaMDs). Microfluidic devices could facilitate the multiplexed detection of miRNA biomarker panels, and an overview of the different strategies for designing such microfluidic systems is presented here, with an outline of the detection principles used and the corresponding performance measures. Microfluidics-based profiling of miRNAs coupled with SaMD represent high-performance point-of-care solutions that would aid clinical decision-making and pave the way for accessible precision personalized medicine.

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
Considering the variable valence characteristics of rare earth elements, they can be in a variety of valence forms coexistence. Doping of rare earth element with different valence states may produce different energy levels to tune the semiconductor energy band structure. We utilize rare earth element Ce doping TiO2 for the development of high-performance semiconductor surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates based on an energy-level tuning strategy. Ce doping not only forms multiple energy levels including Ce3+ and Ce4+ metal doping energy levels in the bandgap of TiO2, but also enriches the surface state level of TiO2 itself, which together promote the separation of photogenerated carriers and improve charge transfer efficiency between substrates and absorbed molecules. This endows TiO2 semiconductor substrate with a higher SERS enhancement factor, which can reach 2.2 × 106. The detectable concentration of methylene blue can be as low as 10-10 mol/L. Moreover, the semiconductor substrate exhibits excellent uniformity and stability. This study not only provides a new strategy to develop excellent semiconductor SERS substrate with multiple energy levels, but also lays the foundation for promising practical application of semiconductor substrate.

Abstract
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles with sizes ranging from 30-150 nanometers that contain proteins, lipids, mRNAs, microRNAs, and double-stranded DNA derived from the cells of origin. Exosomes can be taken up by target cells, acting as a means of cell-to-cell communication. The discovery of these vesicles in body fluids and their participation in cell communication has led to major breakthroughs in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of several conditions (e.g., cancer). However, conventional isolation and evaluation of exosomes and their microRNA content suffers from high cost, lengthy processes, difficult standardization, low purity, and poor yield. The emergence of microfluidics devices with increased efficiency in sieving, trapping, and immunological separation of small volumes could provide improved detection and monitoring of exosomes involved in cancer. Microfluidics techniques hold promise for advances in development of diagnostic and prognostic devices. This review covers ongoing research on microfluidics devices for detection of microRNAs and exosomes as biomarkers and their translation to point-of-care and clinical applications.

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
Accurate and reliable quantification of tumor biomarkers in clinical samples is of vital importance for early stage diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, a poor specificity of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing alone fostering overdetection and overtreatment, remains a great controversy in prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Here we report an electrochemical aptasensor using hierarchical MoS2 nanostructuring and SiO2 nano-signal amplification for simultaneous detection of dual PCa biomarkers, PSA and sarcosine, to enhance the diagnostic performance of PCa. In this strategy, hierarchical flower-like MoS2 nanostructures as functional interface accelerated intermolecular accessibility and improved DNA hybridization efficiency. Moreover, the spherical SiO2 nanoprobe that conjugated with both electroactive tags and DNA probes, allowed effective electrochemical signal amplification. By deliberately designing different hybridization modes, we individually implemented the optimization of PSA and sarcosine sensing system. Based on this, simultaneous determination of PSA and sarcosine was achieved, with limit of detection (LOD) down to 2.5 fg/mL and 14.4 fg/mL, respectively, as well as excellent selectivity. More importantly, using this approach, we could directly differentiate cancer patients with healthy ones for clinical serum samples. The ultrasensitive biosensor provides single-step analysis with simple operation and a small sample volume (∼12 μL), shedding new light on accurate diagnosis and early-detection of cancer in clinical applications.

Abstract
The use of nanoprobes in sensors is a popular way to amplify their analytical performance. Coupled with two-dimensional nanomaterials, nanoprobes have been widely used to construct fluorescence, electrochemical, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), colorimetric, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors for target molecules' detection due to their extraordinary signal amplification effect. The MoS2 nanosheet is an emerging layered nanomaterial with excellent chemical and physical properties, which has been considered as an ideal supporting substrate to design nanoprobes for the construction of sensors. Herein, the development and application of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based nanoprobes is reviewed. First, the preparation principle of MoS2-based nanoprobes was introduced. Second, the sensing application of MoS2-based nanoprobes was summarized. Finally, the prospect and challenge of MoS2-based nanoprobes in future were discussed.

Abstract
Sensing of ultralow-abundance nucleic acids (NAs) is integral to medical diagnostics and pathogen screening. We present herein an electrochemical method for the highly selective and amplified sensing of NAs, using a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) recognition probe and a bioinspired electro-RAFT polymerization (BERP)-based amplification strategy. The presented method is based on the recognition of target NAs by end-tethered PNA probes, the labeling of thiocarbonylthio reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents, and the BERP-assisted growth of ferrocenyl polymers. The dynamic growth of polymers is electrochemically regulated by the reduction of 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA) organic cations, the redox center of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+, coenzyme I). Specifically, electroreduction of the MNA cations causes the fragmentation of thiocarbonylthio RAFT agents into radical species, triggering the polymerization of ferrocenyl monomers, thereby recruiting plenty of ferrocene electroactive tags for amplified sensing. It is obvious that the BERP-based strategy is inexpensive and simple in operation. Benefiting from the high specificity of the PNA recognition probe and the amplified signal by the BERP-based strategy, this method is highly selective and the detection limit is as low as 0.58 fM (S/N = 3). Besides, it is applicable to the sensing of NAs in serum samples, thus showing great promise in the selective and amplified sensing of NAs.

Abstract
Molybdenum is a trace dietary element necessary for the survival of humans. Some molybdenum-bearing enzymes are involved in key metabolic activities in the human body (such as xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase). Many molybdenum-based compounds have been widely used in biomedical research. Especially, MoS2-nanomaterials have attracted more attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment recently because of their unique physical and chemical properties. MoS2 can adsorb various biomolecules and drug molecules via covalent or non-covalent interactions because it is easy to modify and possess a high specific surface area, improving its tumor targeting and colloidal stability, as well as accuracy and sensitivity for detecting specific biomarkers. At the same time, in the near-infrared (NIR) window, MoS2 has excellent optical absorption and prominent photothermal conversion efficiency, which can achieve NIR-based phototherapy and NIR-responsive controlled drug-release. Significantly, the modified MoS2-nanocomposite can specifically respond to the tumor microenvironment, leading to drug accumulation in the tumor site increased, reducing its side effects on non-cancerous tissues, and improved therapeutic effect. In this review, we introduced the latest developments of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer diagnosis and therapy, mainly focusing on biosensors, bioimaging, chemotherapy, phototherapy, microwave hyperthermia, and combination therapy. Furthermore, we also discuss the current challenges and prospects of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer treatment.

Abstract
DNA molecular machines have attracted immense interest for their potential in biosensing, drug delivery, and cellular imaging. Herein, we report a duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) powered nanowalker that can autonomously and progressively move on a spherical three-dimensional track, which is constructed by functionalizing a 13 nm diameter gold nanoparticle (AuNP) with densely mismatched DNA duplexes. The motion is initiated by an RNA walking strand, and in its absence, the walker is suppressed because the DSN is inactive toward the mismatched DNA duplexes. Once the walking strand is added, perfectly matched DNA-RNA hybrid is formed via a toehold-mediated displacement reaction between the walking strand and mismatched duplex. Thereafter, the DNA-RNA hybrid is simultaneously cleaved by DSN, by releasing the walking strand, which autonomously moves on the track with the aid of DSN. The present study provides a novel energy input and power mechanism for the operation of 3-D nanowalker with high efficiency. Moreover, the proposed nanowalker can be designed in a target microRNA (miRNA)-specific manner by altering the mismatched duplexes, and it exhibits femtomole level sensitivity in both singleplexed and multiplexed sensing of three miRNA targets. In addition, multiplexed quantification of the three miRNAs in biological samples is achieved, further suggesting that the proposed nanowalker has immense potential in biomedical research and early diagnosis of clinical disorders.

Abstract
DNA interfaces with nano, micro, and macro materials have gained widespread attention for various applications. Such interfaces exhibit distinct functions and properties not only due to the unique properties of interfacing materials but also sequence- and conformation-dependent characteristics of the DNA. Therefore, DNA interfaces with diverse dimensional materials have advanced our understanding of the interaction mechanisms and the properties of such interfaces. The unique interfacial properties of such novel materials have applications in nanotechnology, biophysics, cell biology, biosensing, and bioelectronics. The field is growing rapidly with the frequent emergence of new interfaces carrying remarkable interfacial character. In this review article, we have classified the DNA interfaces into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D categories based on the types of dimensional materials. We review the key efforts made in the last five years and focus on types of interfaces, interfacing mechanisms, and their state-of-the-art applications. This review will draw a general interest because of the diversity in the DNA materials science but also the unique applications that will play a cutting-edge role in biomedical and biosensing research.

Abstract
In response to specific stimuli, dynamic covalent materials enable the generation of new structures by reversibly forming/breaking chemical bonds, thus showing great potential for application in controlled drug release. However, using dynamic covalent chemistry to program drug-delivery kinetics remains challenging. Herein, an in situ polymerization-generated DNA-scaffolded disulfide redox network (DdiSRN) is reported in which nucleic acids are used as a scaffold for dynamic disulfide bonds. The constructed DdiSRN allows selective release of loading cargos inside cancer cells in response to redox stimuli. Moreover, the density of disulfide bonds in network can be tuned by precise control over their position and number on DNA scaffolds. As a result, drug-delivery kinetics can be programmed with a half-life, t1/2 , decreasing from 8.3 to 4.4 h, thus facilitating keeping an adequate drug concentration within the therapeutic window. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirm that co-delivery of DOX and siRNA in combination with fast drug release inside cells using this DdiSRN enhances the therapeutic effect on multidrug-resistant cancer. This nontrivial therapeutic platform enabling kinetic control provides a good paradigm for precision cancer medicine.

Abstract
For aptamer-modified nanomaterial biosensors label-free detection methods are desirable due to them being simple and low in cost. Among these methods, nanomaterial aggregation for signal conversion is common, using materials such as gold nanoparticles. However, for MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2-NSs), signal conversion of its aggregation is difficult, resulting in the limited development of its label-free sensing applications. Herein, for the first time, the extinction spectrum has been employed to quickly transform the signal of MoS2-NS aggregation and reveal the size-dependent extinction response of MoS2-NS aggregation. Moreover, the size-dependent optical extinction behavior of MoS2-NSs, using aptamers to induce the dispersion of the MoS2-NSs and greatly improve their ability to identify targets, is studied. Importantly, this method has been employed to achieve the label-free detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7. The present investigation shows the promising use of MoS2-NSs for the development of label-free detection.

A Multi-Objective Optimization of 2D Materials Modified Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Based Sensors: An NSGA II Approach. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
Modifying the structure of surface plasmon resonance based sensors by adding 2D materials has been proven to considerably enhance the sensor’s sensitivity in comparison to a traditional three layer configuration. Moreover, a thin semiconductor film placed on top of the metallic layer and stacked together with 2D materials enhances even more sensitivity, but at the cost of worsening the plasmonic couplic strength at resonance (minimum level of reflectivity) and broadening the response. With each supplementary layer added, the complexity of optimizing the performance increases due to the extended parameter space of the sensor. This study focused on overcoming these difficulties in the design process of sensors by employing a multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA II) alongside a transfer matrix method (TMM) and, at the same time, optimizing the sensitivity to full width at half maximum (FWHM), and the reflectivity level at a resonance for a four layer sensor structure. Firstly, the thin semiconductor’s refractive index was optimized to obtain the maximum achievable sensitivity with a narrow FWHM and a reflectivity level at a resonance of almost zero. Secondly, it was shown that refractive indices of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and silicon (Si) are the closest to the optimal indices for the silver—graphene/WS2 and MoS2 modified structures, respectively. Sensitivities up to 302 deg/RIU were achieved by Ag–BaTIO3–graphene/WS2 configurations with an FWHM smaller than 8 deg and a reflectivity level less than 0.5% at resonance.

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
Non-invasive early diagnosis is of great significance in disease pathologic development and subsequent medical treatments, and microRNA (miRNA) detection has attracted critical attention in early cancer screening and diagnosis. High-throughput, sensitive, economic, and fast miRNA sensing platforms are necessary to realize the low-concentration miRNA detection in clinical diagnosis and biological studies. Here, we developed an attomolar-level ultrasensitive, rapid, and multiple-miRNA simultaneous detection platform enabled by nanomaterial locally assembled microfluidic biochips. This platform presents a large linear detection regime of 1 aM-10 nM, an ultralow detection limit of 0.146 aM with no amplification, a short detection time of 35 min with multiplex miRNA sensing capability, and a small sample volume consumption of 2 μL. The detection results of five miRNAs in real samples from breast cancer patients and healthy humans indicate its excellent capacity for practical applications in early cancer diagnosis. The proposed ultrasensitive, rapid, and multiple-miRNA detection microfluidic biochip platform is a universal miRNA detection approach and an important and valuable tool in early cancer screening and diagnosis as well as biological studies.

Abstract
The label-free detection of nucleic acids has attracted interest of scientists due to the fact that it is simple, fast and efficient. Herein, l-cysteine was electropolymerized on the molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) surface to form a stable and electroactive poly(l-cysteine)-functionalized molybdenum disulfide (Pl-Cys/MoS2) sensing interface. Taking microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) as an analytical model, a label-free electrochemical sensor was designed according to the properties of the Pl-Cys/MoS2 sensing interface. Experimental data exhibited that the designed electrochemical sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity, selectivity and stability towards miRNA-21 detection in buffer and real samples. This study offers a methodology to construct a label-free sensing interface by combining MoS2 nanosheets and electroactive molecules.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation, and are increasingly considered to be biomarkers for numerous biological processes and human diseases. Current techniques used for microRNA detection can be expensive and labor-intensive, and typically require amplification, labeling, or radioactive probes. In this protocol, we describe a DNA nanoswitch-based microRNA detection assay termed "miRacles": microRNA-activated conditional looping of engineered switches. This method uses conformationally responsive DNA nanoswitches that detect the presence of specific microRNAs with a simple and unambiguous gel-shift assay that can be performed on the benchtop. The assay is low cost, minimalistic, and capable of direct detection of specific microRNAs in unprocessed total RNA samples, with no enzymatic amplification, labeling, or special equipment. The protocol for detection of microRNAs in total RNA can be completed in as little as a few hours, making this assay a compelling alternative to qPCR and Northern blotting. © 2020 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Various nanoplatforms have been developed to visualize intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) because of their clinical significance in tumor progression and diagnosis. However, the diffusion-limited motion of the nanoplatforms penalizes the miRNA imaging efficiency in cells. Herein, we fabricated a near-infrared (NIR) light-propelled Janus-based nanoplatform to advance the imaging response. The Janus nanomotor covered with an Au half-shell was loaded by the endocytosis adjuvant of the MnO2 nanosheet for delivering a miRNA-responsive hQN (hairpin DNA quadrangular nanostructure) probe with a catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA). Once the nanoplatform entered into cells, the MnO2 nanosheet was degraded to Mn2+ by endogenous fuels (such as glutathione) to release the hQN probe. The NIR light irradiation of the nanoplatform generated a heat gradient and thus propelled motion of the nanoplatform. This process accelerated the intracellular reaction of the hQN probe with miRNAs to trigger the cascade CHA amplification with an enhanced fluorescence readout.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) encapsulated in tumor-derived exosomes are becoming ideal biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. However, the accuracy and sensitivity are often hampered by the extraction process of exosomal miRNA using traditional methods. Herein, this study developed a fluorogenic quantitative detection method for exosomal miRNA using the fluorescence quenching properties of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets and the enzyme-assisted signal amplification properties of duplex-specific nuclease (DSN). First, a fluorescently-labeled nucleic acid probe was used to hybridize the target miRNA to form a DNA/RNA hybrid structure. Under the action of the DSN, the DNA single strand in the DNA/RNA hybrid strand was selectively digested into smaller oligonucleotide fragments. At the same time, the released miRNA target triggers the next reaction cycle, so as to achieve signal amplification. Then, MoS2 was used to selectively quench the fluorescence of the undigested probe leaving the fluorescent signal of the fluorescently-labeled probe fragments. The fluorometric signals for miRNA-21 had a maximum excitation/emission wavelength of 488/518 nm. Most importantly, the biosensor was then applied for the accurate quantitative detection of miRNA-21 in exosome lysates extracted from human plasma and this method was able to successfully distinguish lung cancer patients from healthy people. This biosensor provides a simple, rapid, and a highly specific quantitative method for exosomal miRNA and has promising potential to be used in the early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
Graphene has been studied a lot in different scientific fields because of its unique properties, including its superior conductivity, plasmonic property, and biocompatibility. More recently, transition metal dicharcogenide (TMD) nanomaterials, beyond graphene, have been widely researched due to their exceptional properties. Among the various TMD nanomaterials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has attracted attention in biological fields due to its excellent biocompatibility and simple steps for synthesis. Accordingly, graphene and MoS2 have been widely studied to be applied in the development of biosensors. Moreover, nanohybrid materials developed by hybridization of graphene and MoS2 have a huge potential for developing various types of outstanding biosensors, like electrochemical-, optical-, or surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors. In this review, we will focus on materials such as graphene and MoS2. Next, their application will be discussed with regard to the development of highly sensitive biosensors based on graphene, MoS2, and nanohybrid materials composed of graphene and MoS2. In conclusion, this review will provide interdisciplinary knowledge about graphene/MoS2 nanohybrids to be applied to the biomedical field, particularly biosensors.

Abstract
The expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is critical in gene regulation and has been counted into disease diagnosis marks. Precise imaging and quantification of miRNAs could afford the important information for clinical diagnosis. Here, two smart binary star ratio (BSR) probes were designed and constructed, and miRNA triggered the connection of the binary star probes and the reciprocal changes of dual signals in living cells. This multifunctional probe integrates fluorescence and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging, with enzyme-free numerator signal amplification for dual-mode imaging and dual-signal quantitative analysis of miRNA. First, compared with the single-mode ratio imaging method, using fluorescence-SERS complementary ratio imaging, this probe enables more accurate imaging contrast for direct visualization signal changes in living cells. Multiscale information about the dynamic behavior of miRNA and the probe is acquired. Next, via SERS reverse signal ratio response and a novel enzyme-free numerator signal amplification, the amplified signal and reduced black value were achieved in the quantification of miRNA. More importantly, BSR probes showed good stability in cells and were successfully used for accurate tracing and quantification of miR-203 from MCF-7 cells. Therefore, the reported BSR probe is a potential tool for the reliable monitoring of biomolecule dynamics in living cells.

Abstract
DNA is now well-established as a nanoscale building material with applications in fields such as biosensing and molecular computation. Molecular processes such as logic gates, nucleic acid circuits, and multiplexed detection have used different readout strategies to measure the output signal. In biosensing, this output can be the diagnosis of a disease biomarker, whereas in molecular computation, the output can be the result of a mathematical operation carried out using DNA. Recent developments have shown that the output of such processes can be displayed graphically as a macroscopic symbol or an alphanumeric character on multiwell plates, microarray chips, gels, lateral flow devices, and DNA origami surfaces. This review discusses the concepts behind such graphical readouts of molecular events, available display platforms, and the advantages and challenges in adapting such methods for practical use. Graphical display systems have the potential to be used in the creation of intelligent computing and sensing devices by which nanoscale binding events are translated into macroscopic visual readouts.

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
Non-covalent adsorption and desorption of oligonucleotides on two-dimensional nanosheets are widely employed to design nanobiosensors for the rapid optical detection of targets. A precise control over the weak interactions between nanosheet interfaces and oligonucleotides is crucial for a high-sensing performance. Herein, the interface of ultrathin WS2 nanosheets used as a fluorescence quencher was engineered by four different dextran polymers in an aqueous solution to control the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of the DNA probe. The WS2 nanosheets, functionalized by the carboxyl group-bearing dextran (CM-dex-WS2) or the trimethylammonium-modified dextran (TMA-dex-WS2), exhibited 3.6-fold faster adsorption rates of the fluorescein-labeled DNA probe (FAM-DNA), which led to the effective fluorescence quenching of FAM, compared to the nanosheets functionalized with pristine dextran (dex-WS2) or the hydrophobic phenoxy groups-bearing dextran (PhO-dex-WS2). Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements showed that the adsorption strength of FAM-DNA for CM-dex-WS2 was one order of magnitude greater than its hybridization energy for a target microRNA (miR-29a) that is well-known as an Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker, leading to the unfavorable desorption of the DNA probe from the surface. In contrast, TMA-dex-WS2 exhibited the proper adsorption strength of FAM-DNA, which was lower than its hybridization energy for miR-29a, leading to its favorable desorption from the nanosheet surface along with the noticeable restoration of the quenched fluorescence after its hybridization with miR-29a. Finally, the interface modulation of WS2 nanosheets allowed the selective and sensitive recognition of miR-29a against non-complementary RNA and single base-mismatched RNA in human serum via increases in target-specific fluorescence.
