Abstract
The detection of low-abundance microribonucleic acid (miRNA) frequently adopted nucleic acid sequence-based amplification detection, which was found to have poor selectivity for the nonspecific amplification of template-dependent ligation in enzyme-mediated cascade reactions. Here, a highly selective detection of miRNAs was developed that combined microsphere-enhanced fluorescence (MSEF) and solid-phase base-paired hybridization. The target miRNA could be accurately and quantitatively identified through the solid-phase hybridization assay on the surface of an optical microsphere, while the detected fluorescence signal could be physically amplified by MSEF. Hereinto, the optical microsphere acted as the fluorescence amplifier and whose surface supplied the space to carry out base-paired hybridization to recognize the target miRNA via the immobilized capture DNA sequence. The detected fluorescence signal of the single-base mismatched miRNA-21 sequence was just around 12% of that of the target miRNA-21 sequence in the measurement of model miRNA-21, while the limit of detection of miRNA-21 could be 1.0 fM. The developed detection of miRNA on an optical microsphere was demonstrated to be an excellent physically amplified method to selectively and sensitively detect the target miRNA and magnificently avoid the nonspecific amplification and false-positive results, which is expected to have wide applications in pathematology, pharmacology, clinic diagnosis, and on-site screening fields as well.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis and treatment have been of broad interest among scientists in the last decades due to the high death rate, widespread occurrence, and recurrence after treatment. The survival rate of cancer patients depends greatly on early detection and appropriate treatments. Therefore developing new technologies applicable to sensitive and specific methods of cancer detection is an inevitable task for cancer researchers. Abnormal miRNA expression is contributed to severe diseases such as cancers and since their expression level and type differ strictly during carcinogenesis and later metastasis and treatments, the improved detection accuracy of these miRNAs would undoubtedly lead to early diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. Biosensors are accurate and straightforward analytical devices that have had practical applications especially in the last decade. Their domain is still growing through a combination of attractive nanomaterials and amplification methods, leading to innovative biosensing platforms for the efficient detection of miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. In this review, we will provide the recent developments in biosensors to detect intestine cancer miRNA biomarkers and also discuss the challenges and outcomings of this field.

A rapid and simple method for simultaneous determination of three breast cancer related microRNAs based on magnetic nanoparticles modified with S9.6 antibody. Anal Biochem 2023; 665:115052. [PMID: 36682580 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2023.115052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Cancer progression is typically associated with the simultaneous changes of multiple microRNA (miR) levels. Therefore, simultaneous determination of multiple miR biomarkers exhibits great promise in early diagnosis of cancers. This research seeks to discuss a simple biosensing method for the ultrasensitive and specific detection of the three miRs related to the breast cancer based on S9.6 antibody coated magnetic beads, titanium phosphate nanospheres, and screen-printed carbon electrode. To prepare signaling probes, three hairpin DNAs (hDNAs) were labeled with three encoding titanium phosphate nanospheres with large quantities of different heavy metal ions (zinc, cadmium, lead), which have been utilized to discriminate the signals of three microRNA targets in relation with the corresponding heavy metal ions. After that, these hairpin structures hybridize with miR-21, miR-155 and miR-10b to form miR-21/hDNA1, miR-155/hDNA2 and miR-10b/hDNA3 complexes, which were captured by S9.6 antibodies (one anti-DNA/RNA antibody) pre-modified on magnetic bead surface. Therefore, the specific preconcentration of targets from complex matrixes can be carried out using magnetic actuation, increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the detection. The biosensor was suitably applied for direct and rapid detection of multiple microRNAs in real sample. It was observed that there were no significant differences between the results obtained by the suggested method and qRT-PCR as a reference method. So, this method makes an ultrasensitive novel platform for miRNAs expression profiling in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, which is also the second most public cancer worldwide. When detected early, BC can be treated more easily and prevented from spreading beyond the breast. In recent years, various BC biosensor strategies have been studied, including optical, electrical, electrochemical, and mechanical biosensors. In particular, the high sensitivity and short detection time of electrochemical biosensors make them suitable for the recognition of BC biomarkers. Moreover, the sensitivity of the electrochemical biosensor can be increased by incorporating nanomaterials. In this respect, the outstanding mechanical and electrical performances of graphene have led to an increasingly intense study of graphene-based materials for BC electrochemical biosensors. Hence, the present review examines the latest advances in graphene-based electrochemical biosensors for BC biosensing. For each biosensor, the detection limit (LOD), linear range (LR), and diagnosis technique are analyzed. This is followed by a discussion of the prospects and current challenges, along with potential strategies for enhancing the performance of electrochemical biosensors.

High-sensitive ferrocene labeled aptasensor for the detection of Mucin 1 by tuning the sequence constitution of complementary probe. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:332. [PMID: 35971003 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05424-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
A strand displacement-based "signal-off" electrochemical aptasensor is reported for the detection of Mucin 1 (MUC 1) based on a high original signal. Different from the conventional "signal-off" electrochemical biosensors where electrochemical substances are dispersed in electrolyte solution, here the current signal was generated by the complementary probe (CP) associated with ferrocene (Fc) labeled aptamer (Apt.-Fc). Because Apt.-Fc and MUC 1 have a higher affinity, Apt.-Fc dissociates from CP in the presence of MUC 1, resulting in a reduction of detection current signal generated by oxidation of labeled Fc. In this system, high detection signal is necessary to improve the sensor's performance. For this aim, a strategy is proposed for changing the modalities of electron transport and the quantity of Apt.-Fc introduced by simply tuning the sequence constitution of CP. As expected, a high detection current signal was obtained after selecting CP(Apt.-Fc)-TTT as the optimal CP. The aptasensor was then employed to detect MUC 1, and satisfactory detection results with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.087 pM (S/N = 3), good specificity, good stability, and feasibility of detection of MUC 1 in artificial serum (recovery of 92-101%, RSD of 1.36-5.23%) were obtained.

Abstract
Since the first commercial biosensor device for blood glucose measurement was introduced in the 1970s, many “biosensor types” have been developed, and this research area remains popular worldwide. In parallel with some global biosensor research reports published in the last decade, including a great deal of literature and industry statistics, it is predicted that biosensor design technologies, including handheld or wearable devices, will be preferred and highly valuable in many areas in the near future. Biosensors using nanoparticles still maintain their very important place in science and technology and are the subject of innovative research projects. Among the nanomaterials, carbon-based ones are considered to be one of the most valuable nanoparticles, especially in the field of electrochemical biosensors. In this context, graphene oxide, which has been used in recent years to increase the electrochemical analysis performance in biosensor designs, has been the subject of this review. In fact, graphene is already foreseen not only for biosensors but also as the nanomaterial of the future in many fields and is therefore drawing research attention. In this review, recent and prominent developments in biosensor technologies using graphene oxide (GO)-based nanomaterials in the field of cancer diagnosis are briefly summarized.

Abstract
This Communication describes polarity inversion in molecular rectification and the related mechanism. Using a supramolecular engineered, ultrastable, binary-mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) composed of an organic molecular diode (SC11BIPY) and an inert reinforcement molecule (SC8), we probed a rectification ratio (r)-voltage relationship over an unprecedentedly wide voltage range (up to |3.5 V|) with statistical significance. We observed positive polarity in rectification at |1.0 V| (r = 107), followed by disappearance of rectification at ∼|2.25 V|, and then eventual emergence of new rectification with the opposite polarity at ∼|3.5 V| (r = 0.006; 1/r = 162). The polarity inversion occurred with a span over 4 orders of magnitude in r. Low-temperature experiments, electronic structure analysis, and theoretical calculations revealed that the unusually wide voltage range permits access to molecular orbital energy levels that are inaccessible in the traditional narrow voltage regime, inducing the unprecedented in situ inversion of polarity.

Abstract
In this work, a novel ratio electrochemical biosensing platform based on catalytic hairpin assembly target recovery to trigger dual-signal output was developed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA). To achieve the ratiometric dual-signal strategy, methylene blue (MB), an electrochemical indicator, was ingeniously loaded into the pores of graphene aerogel (GA) and metal-organic framework (MOF) composites with high porosity and large specific surface area, and another electrochemical indicator Fe-MOFs with distinct separation of redox potential was selected as a signal probe. Concretely, with the presence of the target miRNA, the CHA process was initiated and the signal probe was introduced to the electrode surface, producing abundant double-stranded H1-H2@Fe-MOFs-NH2. Then, the measurement and analysis of the prepared ratiometric electrochemical biosensor by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) showed that the introduction of the target miRNA led to an increase in the oxidation peak signal of Fe-MOFs (+0.8 V) and a decrease in the oxidation peak signal of MB (-0.23 V). Therefore, the peak current ratio of IFe-MOFs/IMB could be employed to accurately reflect the actual concentration of miRNA. Under optimal conditions, the detection limit of the proposed biosensor was down to 50 aM. It was worth noting that the proposed biosensor exhibited excellent detection performance in a complex serum environment and tumor cell lysates, showing great potential in biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
A sandwich electrochemical biosensing strategy for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 was developed by using graphene oxide incorporated 3D-flower-like MoS2 (3D MoS2-rGO) nanocomposites as the substrate and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-functionalized DNA strand 1 (S1)-gold nanoparticles (S1-AuNPs-HRP) as signal amplification probes. Herein, 3D MoS2-rGO nanocomposites not only had a large specific surface area and excellent conductivity, but also provided more attachment sites for electrodepositing AuNPs. In the presence of target miRNA, a sandwich structure was formed, and the determination of the miRNA-21 was carried out by measuring the DPV response of H2O2 mediated by hydroquinone (HQ) at a potential of + 0.052 V (vs AgCl reference electrode). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the as-prepared biosensor enabled the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 from 5 fM to 0.5 μM with the low detection limit of 0.54 fM (S/N = 3), comparable or lower than previous reported methods for miRNA-21 detection, which benefited from the synergistic amplification of 3D MoS2-rGO and AuNPs-HRP. The prepared biosensor showed satisfactory selectivity, reproducibility, and stability towards miRNA-21 detection. The biosensor was feasible for accurate and quantitative detection of miRNA-21 in normal human serum samples with RSD below 5.86%, which showed a great potential in clinical analysis and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Hematologic malignancies are a group of malignant diseases of the hematologic system that seriously endanger human health, mainly involving bone marrow, blood and lymphatic tissues. However, among the available treatments for malignant hematologic diseases, low detection rates and high recurrence rates are major problems in the treatment process. The quantitative detection of hematologic malignancies-related biomarkers is the key to refine the pathological typing of the disease to implement targeted therapy and thus improve the prognosis. In recent years, bioelectrochemical methods for tumor cell and blood detection have attracted the attention of an increasing number of scientists. The development of biosensor technology, nanotechnology, probe technology, and lab-on-a-chip technology has greatly facilitated the development of bioelectrochemical studies of cells, especially for blood and cell-based assays and drug resistance differentiation. To improve the sensitivity of detection, graphene is often used in the design of electrochemical sensors. This mini-review provides an overview of the types of hematological malignancies-associated biomarkers and their detection based on graphene assisted electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
The importance of nanotechnology in medical applications especially with biomedical sensing devices is undoubted. Several medical diagnostics have been developed by taking the advantage of nanomaterials, especially with electrical biosensors. Biosensors have been predominantly used for the quantification of different clinical biomarkers toward detection, screening, and follow-up the treatment. At present, ovarian cancer is one of the severe complications that cannot be identified until it becomes most dangerous as the advanced stage. Based on the American Cancer Society, 20% of cases involved in the detection of ovarian cancer are diagnosed at an early stage and 80% diagnosed at the later stages. The patient just has a common digestive problem and stomach ache as early symptoms and people used to ignore these symptoms. Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) is classified as small non-coding RNAs, their expressions change due to the association of cancer development and progression. This article reviews and discusses on the currently available strategies for the early detection of ovarian cancers using miRNA as a biomarker associated with electrical biosensors. A unique miRNA-based biomarker detections are specially highlighted with biosensor platforms to diagnose ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are often used to serve as drug delivery systems to improve the therapeutic efficacy of some hydrophobic drugs. In this work, PEG and peptide-modified titanium phosphate nanoparticles (TiP-PEG/peptide) were synthesized to enhance the drug delivery efficacy of tirucalla-8,24-diene-3β,11β-diol-7-one (KS-01), a major bioactive and hydrophobic component extracted from Euphorbia kansui. This drug delivery system with a loading efficiency of about 29.8 mg KS-01/1 g TiP-PEG/peptide exerted a significantly lower cell viability rate of MCF-7 than free KS-01, indicating that these carriers can effectively increase the therapeutic efficacy by improving its water solubility. Moreover, according to the fluorescence intensity of FAM which can be generated by caspase-3 cleaving DEVD-embedded peptide, the caspase-3 level could be determined and the therapeutic efficacy could be visualized in real time.

Abstract
A convenient sensor is developed for electrochemical assay of Hg2+ in dairy product using the optimal Cu2+-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) as signal reporting. Benefiting from specific recognition between Hg2+ and thymine (T)-rich DNA strands, the interferences of milk matrices are effectively eliminated, thereby greatly improving the accuracy of test results. Moreover, the suitable Cu-MOFs offer an efficient carrier for probe design, and the contained Cu2+ ions could be directly detected to output electrochemical signal of Hg2+ presence without labor- or time-intensive operations. Compared with previous methods, this sensor substantially simplifies the process of electrochemical measurement and facilitates highly sensitive, selective and rapid analysis of Hg2+ with detection limit of 4.8 fM, offering a valuable means for monitoring dairy product contamination with Hg2+.

Abstract
Cancer is the second most fatal disease in the world and an early diagnosis is important for a successful treatment. Thus, it is necessary to develop fast, sensitive, simple, and inexpensive analytical tools for cancer biomarker detection. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an RNA cancer biomarker where the expression level in body fluid is strongly correlated to cancer. Various biosensors involving the detection of miRNA for cancer diagnosis were developed. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in electrochemical biosensor for miRNA cancer marker detection from 2015 to 2020. The review focuses on the approaches to direct miRNA detection based on the electrochemical signal. It includes a RedOx-labeled probe with different designs, RedOx DNA-intercalating agents, various kinds of RedOx catalysts used to produce a signal response, and finally a free RedOx indicator. Furthermore, the advantages and drawbacks of these approaches are highlighted.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) serves as an ideal biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of various human cancers. The rationally designed three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanomachine was constructed on the matrixes of magnetic beads, and the high density of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on each magnetic bead and further enlargement of the AuNPs lead to the anchoring of numerous DNA walkers and signal probes on the AuNPs. With the combination of toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (SDR), amplified electrochemical detection of miRNA is performed. The existence of miRNA triggers the toehold-mediated SDR and the released DNA walker probe is hybridized with the ferrocene (Fc)-tagged signal probe. The cleavage of the duplex by the nicking endonuclease detaches the signal probe from the magnetic nanocomposites. The oxidation current of Fc moieties was found to be inversely proportional to the concentrations of miRNA-182 between 1.0 fM and 2 pM. The assay is highly selective for discrimination of miRNAs with similar sequences. The feasibility of the method for sensitive detection of the expression levels of miRNA-182 from serum samples of glioma patients at different stages was demonstrated. The sensing protocol holds great promise for early diagnosis and prognosis of the cancer cases with abnormal miRNA expression.

Abstract
In the pursuit of improved diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, several classes of molecules have been scrutinized as prospective biomarkers. Small (18–22 nucleotide), non-coding RNA transcripts called microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising candidates with extensive diagnostic potential, due to their role in numerous diseases, previously established methods for quantitation and their stability within biofluids. Despite efforts to identify, characterize and apply miRNA signatures as diagnostic markers in a range of non-infectious diseases, their application in infectious disease has advanced relatively slowly. Here, we outline the benefits that miRNA biomarkers offer to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of infectious diseases. Investigation of these novel biomarkers could advance the use of personalized medicine in infectious disease treatment, which raises important considerations for validating their use as diagnostic or prognostic markers. Finally, we discuss new and emerging miRNA detection platforms, with a focus on rapid, point-of-care testing, to evaluate the benefits and obstacles of miRNA biomarkers for infectious disease.

Abstract
One of the major reasons for mortality throughout the world is cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, bio-markers of cardiovascular disease are of high importance to diagnose and manage procedure.
Detecting biomarkers provided a promising procedure in developing bio-sensors. Fast, selective,
portable, accurate, inexpensive, and sensitive biomarker sensing instruments will be necessary for
detecting and predicting diseases. One of the cardiac biomarkers may be ordered as C-reactive proteins,
lipoprotein-linked phospho-lipase, troponin I or T, myoglobin, interleukin-6, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis
factor alpha, LDL and myeloperoxidase. The biomarkers are applied to anticipate cardio-vascular
illnesses. Initial diagnoses of these diseases are possible by several techniques; however, they are laborious
and need costly apparatus. Current researches designed various bio-sensors for resolving the respective
issues. Electrochemical instruments and the proposed bio-sensors are preferred over other
methods due to its inexpensiveness, mobility, reliability, repeatability. The present review comprehensively
dealt with detecting biomarkers of cardiovascular disease through electro-chemical techniques.

Abstract
Single-molecule biosensors serve the unmet need for real time detection of individual biological molecules in the molecular crowd with high specificity and accuracy, uncovering unique properties of individual molecules which are hidden when measured using ensemble averaging methods. Measuring a signal generated by an individual molecule or its interaction with biological partners is not only crucial for early diagnosis of various diseases such as cancer and to follow medical treatments but also offers a great potential for future point-of-care devices and personalized medicine. This review summarizes and discusses recent advances in nanosensors for both in vitro and in vivo detection of biological molecules offering single-molecule sensitivity. In the first part, we focus on label-free platforms, including electrochemical, plasmonic, SERS-based and spectroelectrochemical biosensors. We review fluorescent single-molecule biosensors in the second part, highlighting nanoparticle-amplified assays, digital platforms and the utilization of CRISPR technology. We finally discuss recent advances in the emerging nanosensor technology of important biological species as well as future perspectives of these sensors.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) appear as a novel reliable candidate in biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer. Due to their roles in various types of cancer, their potential as a diagnostic biomarker is getting more attention. Here, a novel electrochemical biosensor for detection of miR-21 was demonstrated, through combining the advantages of electrochemical methods and nanomaterials with the selectivity of oligonucleotides, based on thiolated receptor probe-functionalized dendritic gold nanostructures (den-Au) via the self-assembly monolayer (SAM) process which grafted on the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) platform on the surface of the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode. Cadmium ions (Cd2+) were used as signal units and also signal amplification substance which labeled before on miR-21 target. The oxidation signal of Cd2+ as a signal unit was measured by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique that had a very wide linear relationship with the concentration of miR-21 target (0.01 fmol L-1 to 1 μmol L-1) and low experimental detection limit of 0.01 fmol L-1. Furthermore, fabricated biosensor showed acceptable performance in human serum samples and also good selectivity indiscriminate between the complementary target and non-complementary one, so this nano-genosensor can clinically be used for prostate cancer diagnosis through the detection of miR-21 in human serum samples.

Abstract
A luminescent microRNA nanoprobe based on the target-triggered Ir(III)-solvent complex release has been fabricated. The complex is initially embedded into mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and then is capped by single-stranded (ss) DNA. In the presence of the target microRNA, the ssDNA hybridize with the microRNA forming a rigid DNA/RNA heteroduplexes and leaving the surface of MSN. Thus, the capped Ir(III) solvent complex is released and re-coordinated with histidine (His) to form a new luminescent complex. The luminescence intensity of the nascent complex (with excitation/emission maxima at 340/570 nm) is positively correlated with the concentrations of the target microRNA in the range from 0.05 to 2 nM, and the detection limit of microRNA is estimated as 0.2 pM (S/N = 3). The ability of this nanoprobe to detect microRNA in cell extract further demonstrates its potential in practical application.

Abstract
In this work, a simple all-nucleic acid cascade-feedback amplification strategy for homogeneous and protein enzyme-free fluorescence detection of HIV-1 related DNA (HIV-1 DNA) has been proposed by integrating catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) circuit with double-end Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme autocatalytic feedback amplification. Here, the active double-end DNAzyme assemblies were derived from target-catalyzed CHA circuit, which further circularly cleaved the ribonucleotide-containing quenched fluorogenic hairpin substrates to generate distinctly amplified fluorescence signal. Meanwhile, the released quencher-labeled fragments as target DNA analogues were also able to autocatalyze CHA-DNAzyme reaction process, thus improving the determination sensitivity of HIV-1 DNA. The result demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity increment of double-end DNAzyme was over 3 times higher than that of single-end DNAzyme. The sensing method displayed a good linear range from 1 pM to 2 nM with a detectable minimum concentration of 1 pM and high specificity towards different mismatched target DNAs. Moreover, the practical application potential of the proposed method for target DNA detection in complex biological matrices was also assessed. Considering the appealing feature of programmable nucleic acids in CHA-DNAzyme sensing platform, the current strategy may provide a prospective design for detection of broad-spectrum nucleic acid biomarkers.

Abstract
Nanotechnology plays an undeniable significant role in medical sciences, particularly in the field of biomedicine. Development of several diagnostic procedures in medicine has been possible through the beneficial application of nano-materials, among which electrochemical nano-biosensors can be mentioned. They can be employed to quantify various clinical biomarkers in detection, evaluation, and follow up stages of the illnesses. MicroRNAs, a group of regulatory short RNA fragments, added a new dimension to the management and diagnosis of several diseases. Mature miRNAs are single-stranded RNA molecules approximately 22 nucleotides in length, which regulate a vast range of biological functions from cellular proliferation and death to cancer development and progression. Recently, diagnostic value of miRNAs in various diseases has been demonstrated. There are many traditional methods for detection of miRNAs including northern blotting, quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR), microarray technology, nanotechnology-based approaches, and molecular biology tools including miRNA biosensors. In comparison with other techniques, electrochemical nucleic acid biosensor methods exhibit many interesting features, and could play an important role in the future nucleic acid analysis. This review paper provides an overview of some different types of nanotechnology-based biosensors for detection of miRNAs.

Abstract
With revolutionary advances in next-generation sequencing, the human transcriptome has been comprehensively interrogated. These discoveries have highlighted the emerging functional and regulatory roles of a large fraction of RNAs suggesting the potential they might hold as stable and minimally invasive disease biomarkers. Although a plethora of molecular-biology- and biosensor-based RNA-detection strategies have been developed, clinical application of most of these is yet to be realized. Multifunctional nanomaterials coupled with sensitive and robust electrochemical readouts may prove useful in these applications. Here, we summarize the major contributions of engineered nanomaterials-based electrochemical biosensing strategies for the analysis of miRNAs. With special emphasis on nanostructure-based detection, this review also chronicles the needs and challenges of miRNA detection and provides a future perspective on the presented strategies.

Abstract
Facile and sensitive detection methods of cancer cells in the early stage are beneficial for monitoring cancers and treating patients in time to reduce the death rate. In this work, an ultrasensitive cytosensor was constructed using aptamers as cell capturers and metal ion-exchanged titanium phosphate nanospheres as electrochemical probes. KH1C12 can specifically recognize HL-60 cells and distinguish them from other cell lines, K562 and CCRF-CEM, to obtain high selectivity. Cadmium ion functionalized titanium phosphate nanospheres show large quantities of electroactive cadmium ion output and a highly sensitive electrochemical signal. This proposed cytosensor showed a wide dynamic linear range from 102 cells per mL to 107 cells per mL with a low detection limit of 35 cells per mL, providing a new, simple and ultrasensitive platform for cancer diagnosis in biomedical and clinical research.

Abstract
High-throughput profiling/sensing of nucleic acids has recently emerged as a highly promising strategy for the early diagnosis and improved prognosis of a broad range of pathologies, most notably cancer. Among the potential biomarker candidates, microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs of 19-25 nucleotides in length, are of particular interest due to their role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Developing miRNA sensing technologies that are quantitative, ultrasensitive and highly specific has proven very challenging because of their small size, low natural abundance and the high degree of sequence similarity among family members. When compared to optical based methods, electrochemical sensors offer many advantages in terms of sensitivity and scalability. This non-comprehensive review aims to break-down and highlight some of the most promising strategies for electrochemical sensing of microRNA biomarkers.

Abstract
Detection of the hybridisation events is of great importance in many different biotechnology applications such as diagnosis, computing, molecular bioelectronics, and among others. However, one important drawback is the low current of some redox reporters that limits their application. This paper demonstrates the powerful features of molecular wires, in particular the case of S-[4-[2-[4-(2-Phenylethynyl)phenyl]ethynyl]phenyl] thiol molecule and the key role that play the nanometric design of the capture probe linkers to achieve an efficient couple of the DNA complementary ferrocene label with the molecular wire for an effective electron transfer in co-immobilised self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for DNA hybridisation detection. In this article, the length of the linker capture probe was studied for electron transfer enhancement from the ferrocene-motifs of immobilised molecules towards the electrode surface to obtain higher kinetics in the presence of thiolated molecular wires. The use of the right couple of capture probe linker and molecular wire has found to be beneficial as it helps to amplify eightfold the signal obtained.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs, the dysregulation of which has been associated with the progression of several human diseases, including cancer. Interestingly, these molecules can be used as biomarkers for early disease diagnosis and can be found in a variety of body fluids and tissue samples. However, their specific properties and very low concentrations make their detection rather challenging. In this regard, current detection methods are complex, cost-ineffective, and of limited application in point-of-care settings or resource-limited facilities. Recently, nanotechnology-based approaches have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional miRNA detection methods and paved the way for research towards sensitive, fast, and low-cost detection systems. In particular, due to their exceptional properties, the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has significantly improved the performance of miRNA biosensors. This review discusses the application of AuNPs in different miRNA sensor modalities, commenting on recently reported examples. A practical overview of each modality is provided, highlighting their future use in clinical diagnosis. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
A highly sensitive platform is developed for the determination of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). It includes the following operations: Hairpin structures DNA H1 and H2 are designed, and DNA H1 is bound to ultrasmall lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) to produce UCNPs@DNA conjugate probes. Target miRNA triggers a chain reaction for alternating hybridization between DNA H1 (bound on UCNPs@DNA probe) and DNA H2. This leads to UCNPs accumulation and serves as an efficient amplification strategy for UCNPs. The concentration of miRNA-21 is closely correlated to the number of UCNPs; thus, the detection of 89Y by ICPMS provides a promising approach for miRNA quantification. This protocol exhibits high sensitivity to miRNA-21 within 0.1-500 fM, along with a detection limit of 41 aM, which is among the hitherto reported most sensitive procedures. It is worth mentioning that rare earth elements are scarcely present in living systems, which minimizes the background for ICPMS detection and excludes potential interferences from the coexisting species, which is most suited for biological assay.

Abstract
In this work, an electrochemical biosensor based on Au nanorods (NRs) modified microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) were constructed for sensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA) by using cerium dioxide - Au@glucose oxidase (CeO2-Au@GOx) as an electrochemical probe for signal amplification. Au NRs were synthesized by in-situ growth method in μPADs surface to enhance the conductivity and modified hairpin probe through Au-S bonds. The construction of "the signal transducer layer" was carried out by GOx catalyzing glucose to produce H2O2, which was further electrocatalyzed by CeO2. After the biosensor was constructed, an obvious electrochemical signal was observed from the reduction of H2O2. In order to make the detection more convincing, the visual detection was performed based on the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 with the help of Exonuclease I. The electrochemical biosensor provided a wide linear range of 1.0fM to 1000fM with a relatively low detection limit of 0.434fM by the electrochemical measurement. Linear range of 10fM to 1000fM with a relatively low detection limit of 7.382fM was obtained by visual detection. The results indicated the proposed platform has potential utility for detection of miRNA.

Abstract
We propose a ratiometric electrochemical assay for detecting microRNA (miRNA) on the basis of dual-amplification mechanism by using distinguishable electrochemical signals from thionine (Thi) and ferrocene (Fc). The thiol-modified and ferrocene-labeled hairpin capture probes (CP) are first immobilized on an Au electrode via Au-S reaction. The target miRNA hybridizes with CP and unfolding the hairpin structure of CP to form miRNA-DNA duplexes. Then, kamchatka crab duplex specific nuclease (DSN) specifically cleaves the DNA in miRNA-DNA duplexes, leading to the release of miRNA and another cleaves cycle, meanwhile, numerous Fc leaves away from the electrode surface and leads to the signal-off of Fc. The residual fragment on electrode surface acts as a HCR primer to form dsDNA polymers through in situ HCR with the presence of the primer and two probes (HDNA and HDNA'), resulting in the capture of numerous DNA/Au NPs/Thi and the signal-on of Thi. The dual-amplification mechanism significantly amplifies the decrease of Fc signal and the increase of Thi signal for ratiometric readout (IThi/IFc), thus providing a sensitive method for the selective detection of miR-141 with a detection limit down to 11aM. The dual-signal ratiometric outputs have an intrinsic self-calibration to the effects from system, which is promising to be applied in biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of diseases, e.g., Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and various types of cancer, and monitoring the response of patients to the therapy plays a critical role in clinical treatment; therefore, there is an intensive research for the determination of many clinical analytes. In order to achieve point-of-care sensing in clinical practice, sensitive, selective, cost-effective, simple, reliable, and rapid analytical methods are required. Biosensors have become essential tools in biomarker sensing, in which electrode material and architecture play critical roles in achieving sensitive and stable detection. Carbon nanomaterials in the form of particle/dots, tube/wires, and sheets have recently become indispensable elements of biosensor platforms due to their excellent mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. This review summarizes developments in this lucrative field by presenting major biosensor types and variability of sensor platforms in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Specific and sensitive biomarker detection is essential to early cancer diagnosis. In this study, we demonstrate an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor with the ability to detect multiple pancreatic carcinoma (PC)-related microRNA biomarkers. By employing DNA tetrahedral nanostructure capture probes to enhance the detection sensitivity as well as a disposable 16-channel screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) detection platform to enhance the detection efficiency, we were able to simultaneously detect four PC-related miRNAs: miRNA21, miRNA155, miRNA196a, and miRNA210. The detection sensitivity reached to as low as 10 fM. We then profiled the serum levels of the four miRNAs for PC patients and healthy individuals with our multiplexing electrochemical biosensor. Through the combined analyses of the four miRNAs, our results showed that PC patients could be discriminated from healthy controls with fairly high sensitivity. This multiplexing PCR-free miRNA detection sensor shows promising applications in early diagnosis of PC disease.

Abstract
In this paper, a dual-target electrochemical aptasensor has been developed for simultaneous detection of carcinoembryonic antigen and mucin-1 based on metal ion electrochemical labels and Ru(NH3)63+ electronic wires. When targets are present, the interaction between targets and their respective aptamers leads to the dissociation of double-strand DNA because the targets have higher affinity to its aptamer than the complementary strand. And the qualitative and quantitative analyses of the two targets are realized by the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) peaks generated by metal ion electrochemical labels. For the effective loading of a large number of metal ions, Au/bovine serum albumin (Au/BSA) nanospheres are employed as carriers to develop Au/BSA-metal ions. After Ru(NH3)63+ complexes are embedded into double-strand DNA to form the electronic wires, the electrical conductivity and the electron transfer of the detection system are greatly improved. The detection limit of the proposed assay was calculated as 3.33fM ranging from 0.01pM to 100nM. Therefore, this novel sensing assay provides a new and sensitive platform for detecting several targets simultaneously in biochemical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in gene regulation and cancer development. Nowadays, it is still a challenge to detect low-abundance miRNAs. Here, we present a magnetic fluorescent miRNA sensing system for the rapid and sensitive detection of miRNAs from cell lysates and serum samples. In this system, albumin nanoparticles (Alb NPs) were prepared from inherent biocompatible bovine serum albumin (BSA). A large number of fluorescent dyes were loaded into Alb NPs to make Alb NPs serve as signal molecular nanocarriers for signal amplification. Benefited from the reactive functional groups-carboxyl groups of Alb NPs, p19 protein, a viral protein that can bind and sequester short RNA duplex effectively and selectively, was modified successfully to the surface of the fluorescent dyes-loaded Alb NPs, thus enabling the probe:target miRNA duplex recognition and binding. Followed by the introduction of gold nanoparticles coated magnetic microbeads (Au NPs-MBs), which were prepared through a novel and simple method, the system combined the merits of the rapid and efficient collection given by MBs with the good affinities to attach probe molecules endowed by the coated gold layer. A broad linear detection range of 10fM-10nM and a low detection limit of 9fM were obtained within 100min by detecting a model target miRNA-21. The feasibility of this method for rapid and sensitive quantification might advance the use of miRNAs as biomarkers in clinical praxis significantly.
