Abstract
In medical diagnosis, relying on only one type of biomarker is insufficient to accurately identify cancer. Blood-based multicancer early detection can help identify more than one type of cancer from a single blood sample. In this study, a super-resolution multispectral imaging nanoimmunosensor (srMINI) based on three quantum dots (QDs) of different color conjugated with streptavidin was developed for the simultaneous screening of various cancer biomarkers in blood at the single-molecule level. In the experiment, the srMINI chip was used to simultaneously detect three key cancer biomarkers: carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). The srMINI chip exhibited 108 times higher detection sensitivity of 0.18-0.5 ag/mL (1.1-2.6 zM) for these cancer biomarkers than commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits because of the absence of interfering signals from the substrate, establishing considerable potential for multiplex detection of cancer biomarkers in blood. Therefore, the simultaneous detection of various cancer biomarkers using the developed srMINI chip with high diagnostic precision and accuracy is expected to play a decisive role in early diagnosis or community screening as a single-molecule biosensor.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between the surface properties of a single plasmonic nanoparticle and its catalytic performance is critical for developing highly efficient nanocatalysts. In this study, a one-shot dual-detection-based single-molecule super-resolution imaging method in the evanescent field was developed to observe real-time spatiotemporal catalytic activity on a single plasmonic gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surface. The scattering intensity of AuNPs and the fluorescence of resorufin molecules produced on the AuNP surface were obtained simultaneously to investigate the relationship between nanoparticles and catalytic reactions at a single-molecule level. Chemisorbed adsorbates (i.e., catalytic product and resorufin) changed the electron density of individual AuNPs throughout the catalytic cycle, resulting in the fluctuation of the scattering intensity of individual AuNPs, which was attributed to the electron transfer between reactant resazurin molecules and AuNPs. The increase in the electron density of individual AuNPs affected the catalytic reaction rate. Furthermore, sequential mapping of individual catalytic events at the subdiffraction limit resolution was completed for real-time surface dynamics and spatiotemporal activity variations on the single AuNP surface. The developed method can aid in understanding surface-property-dependent catalytic kinetics and facilitate the development of nanoparticle-based heterogeneous catalysts at subdiffraction limit resolution.

Abstract
Activated hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) plays an important role in the adaptive response of tumor cells to oxygen changes through the transcriptional activation of genes that regulate important biological processes required for tumor survival and progression. In this study, we developed an ultrasensitive hypoxia sensor based on read-out with quantum dots on a gold nanodisc (quantum dot-linked immunosandwich assay, QLISA) with excellent selectivity for HIF-1α. The immunoassay platform was established by comparing the immune response results using Qdot525 as a detection nanoprobe instead of a fluorescent dye (Alexa488) (fluorescent-linked immunosandwich assay, FLISA). In addition, using three-dimensional total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, the platform was optically sectioned along the z-axis at 10 nm intervals to compare the height difference between the nanodisc and the nanoprobe following the QLISA and FLISA procedures and to localize the target location. Here, the super-resolution QLISA (srQLISA)-based hypoxia sensor exhibited high accuracy and precision for the detection of HIF-1α-extracted samples in cancer spheroids compared with the super-resolution FLISA (srFLISA) method. The developed nanobiosensor method demonstrated a wide dynamic linear detection range of 32.2 zM-8.0 pM with a limit of detection of 16 zM under optimal experimental conditions for HIF-1α, an approximate 106-fold enhanced detection sensitivity compared with the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method based on absorbance. The detection of HIF-1α using the newly developed srQLISA sensor allows for independently predicting tumor progression and early cancer onset increases in the microvasculature density of tumor lesions.

Abstract
Human norovirus (HuNoV) is a food-borne pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis in people of all ages worldwide. However, no approved vaccines and antiviral drugs are available at present. Therefore, the development of accurate and rapid detection technologies is important in controlling the outbreak of HuNoVs. This paper reviewed the research progress on HuNoV detection, including immunological methods, molecular detection and biosensor technology. Immunological methods and molecular detection technologies are still widely used for HuNoV detection. Furthermore, biosensors will become an emerging developmental direction for the rapid detection of HuNoVs because of their high sensitivity, low cost, easy operation and suitability for onsite detection.

Abstract
With the advent of nanofabrication techniques, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have been widely applied in various research fields ranging from photocatalysis to chemical and bio-sensing. PNPs efficiently convert chemical or physical stimuli in their local environment into optical signals. PNPs also have excellent properties, including good biocompatibility, large surfaces for the attachment of biomolecules, tunable optical properties, strong and stable scattering light, and good conductivity. Thus, single optical biosensors with plasmonic properties enable a broad range of uses of optical imaging techniques in biological sensing and imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution. This work provides a comprehensive overview on the optical properties of single PNPs, the description of five types of commonly used optical imaging techniques, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR) microscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, total internal reflection scattering (TIRS) microscopy, and dark-field microscopy (DFM) technique, with an emphasis on their single plasmonic nanoprobes and mechanisms for applications in biological imaging and sensing, as well as the challenges and future trends of these fields.

Abstract
Since late December 2019, the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19; previously known as 2019-nCoV) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been surging rapidly around the world. With more than 1,700,000 confirmed cases, the world faces an unprecedented economic, social, and health impact. The early, rapid, sensitive, and accurate diagnosis of viral infection provides rapid responses for public health surveillance, prevention, and control of contagious diffusion. More than 30% of the confirmed cases are asymptomatic, and the high false-negative rate (FNR) of a single assay requires the development of novel diagnostic techniques, combinative approaches, sampling from different locations, and consecutive detection. The recurrence of discharged patients indicates the need for long-term monitoring and tracking. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods are evolving with a deeper understanding of virus pathology and the potential for relapse. In this Review, a comprehensive summary and comparison of different SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic methods are provided for researchers and clinicians to develop appropriate strategies for the timely and effective detection of SARS-CoV-2. The survey of current biosensors and diagnostic devices for viral nucleic acids, proteins, and particles and chest tomography will provide insight into the development of novel perspective techniques for the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
As the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, human noroviruses (HuNoVs) have caused around 685 million cases of infection and nearly $60 billion in losses every year. Despite their highly contagious nature, an effective vaccine for HuNoVs has yet to become commercially available. Therefore, rapid detection and subtyping of noroviruses is crucial for preventing viral spread. Over the past half century, there has been monumental progress in the development of techniques for the detection and analysis of noroviruses. However, currently no rapid, portable assays are available to detect and subtype infectious HuNoVs. The purpose of this review is to survey and present different analytical techniques for the detection and characterization of noroviruses.
