Abstract
Unraveling the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tumoral processes is fundamental for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In this regard, three-dimensional (3D) cancer cell models more realistically mimic tumors compared to conventional 2D cell cultures and are more attractive for performing such studies. Nonetheless, the analysis of such architectures is challenging because most available techniques are destructive, resulting in the loss of biochemical information. On the contrary, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a non-invasive analytical tool that can record the structural fingerprint of molecules present in complex biological environments. The implementation of SERS in 3D cancer models can be leveraged to track therapeutics, the production of cancer-related metabolites, different signaling and communication pathways, and to image the different cellular components and structural features. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the use of SERS for the evaluation of cancer diagnosis and therapy in 3D tumoral models. We outline strategies for the delivery and design of SERS tags and shed light on the possibilities this technique offers for studying different cellular processes, through either biosensing or bioimaging modalities. Finally, we address current challenges and future directions, such as overcoming the limitations of SERS and the need for the development of user-friendly and robust data analysis methods. Continued development of SERS 3D bioimaging and biosensing systems, techniques, and analytical strategies, can provide significant contributions for early disease detection, novel cancer therapies, and the realization of patient-tailored medicine.

Abstract
No simple methods are used for the quantitative analysis of the protease activity in colored food up till now. Thus, this study aims to establish a new and simple method for the quantitative detection of protease activity, especially in colored food. The detection accuracy, detection limit, and repeatability of the casein plate method were analyzed. Then, the application of the casein plate method in sample detection and recovery was further evaluated. The results showed that the casein plate method for the quantitative detection of protease activity has high accuracy, high precision, and low detection limit. The recoveries of eight kinds of colored samples were in the range of 92.26-97.84%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was in the range of 3.56-10.88%. The results of the casein plate method exhibited high accuracy. This indicated that the method was suitable for the detection of colored samples. The casein plate method for the quantitative detection of protease activity is simple. The newly constructed casein plate method has broad potential application value in food industry, especially for the detection of dark food.

Abstract
Intracellular pH is an important parameter that is highly associated with diverse physiological processes. The reliable measurement of pH values inside cells remains a formidable challenge because of the complexity of cytoplasm. Herein, we report a robust Prussian blue (PB)-caged pH-responsive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe for precisely mapping the dynamic pH values in live cells. The PB shell has a subnanoscale porous structure that allows only very small biospecies such as H+ or OH- to pass freely through the shell and react with the encased pH-responsive SERS probe, while physically resisting the entry of large biomolecules. This probe achieved unmatched detection linearity (R2 > 0.999) for pH measurements in diverse complex biological samples. Moreover, the nitrile (C≡N) in PB shows a sharp band in the cellular Raman-silent region, which serves as a background-free internal standard for accurate profiling of the probe distribution inside the cells. We applied the proposed probe to monitor the dynamic pH changes during cellular autophagy induced by different stimuli and thereby demonstrated that the PB-caged probe can reliably quantify subtle intracellular pH variations, providing an effective tool for revealing the relationship between abnormal intracellular pH and cellular functions.

Abstract
The activity of extracellular protein kinase A (PKA) is known to be a biomarker for cancer. However, conventional PKA assays based on colorimetric, radioactive, and fluorometric techniques suffer from intensive labeling-related preparations, background interference, photobleaching, and safety concerns. While surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based assays have been developed for various enzymes to address these limitations, their use in probing PKA activity is limited due to subtle changes in the Raman spectrum with phosphorylation. Here, we developed a robust colloidal SERS-based scheme for label-free quantitative measurement of PKA activity using gold nanostars (AuNS) as a SERS substrate functionalized with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-kemptide (Kem) bioconjugate (AuNS-BSA-Kem), where BSA conferred colloidal stability and Kem is a high-affinity peptide substrate for PKA. By performing principle component analysis (PCA) on the SERS spectrum, we identified two Raman peaks at 725 and 1395 cm-1, whose ratiometric intensity change provided a quantitative measure of Kem phosphorylation by PKA in vitro and allowed us to distinguish MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells known to overexpress extracellular PKA catalytic subunits from noncancerous human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) based on their PKA activity in cell culture supernatant. The outcome demonstrated potential application of AuNS-BSA-Kem as a SERS probe for cancer screening based on PKA activity.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering provides a promising technology for sensitive and selective detection of protease activity by monitoring peptide cleavage. Not only are peptides and plasmonic hotspots similarly sized, Raman fingerprints also hold large potential for spectral multiplexing. Here, we use a gold-nanodome platform for real-time detection of trypsin activity on a CALNNYGGGGVRGNF substrate peptide. First, we investigate the spectral changes upon cleavage through the SERS signal of liquid-chromatography separated products. Next, we show that similar patterns are detected upon digesting surface-bound peptides. We demonstrate that the relative intensity of the fingerprints from aromatic amino acids before and after the cleavage site provides a robust figure of merit for the turnover rate. The presented method offers a generic approach for measuring protease activity, which is illustrated by developing an analogous substrate for endoproteinase Glu-C.

Abstract
The ability to develop new and sensitive methods of biomolecule detection is crucial to the advancement of pre-clinical disease diagnosis and effective patient specific treatment. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an optical spectroscopy amenable to this goal, as it is capable of extremely sensitive biomolecule detection and multiplexed analysis. This perspective highlights where SERS has been successfully used to detect target biomolecules, specifically DNA and proteins, and where in vivo analysis has been successfully utilised. The future of SERS development is discussed and emphasis is placed on the steps required to transport this novel technique from the research laboratory to a clinical setting for medical diagnostics.

Abstract
In this work, a novel carbon nanotube (CNT)-based multicolor fluorescent peptide nanoprobe is developed for rapid, sensitive, and multiplex detection of cancer-related proteases in homogeneous solution. To prepare the nanoprobe, three peptide substrates, each labeled at the C-terminal with a fluorescent dye (i.e., fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), cyanine dye Cy3, cyanine dye Cy5), that respond to one of three different proteases are co-conjugated to the surface of CNTs. This conjugation brings the dyes into the proximity of the CNT surface, which leads to significantly quenched fluorescence due to highly efficient long-range energy transfer from the dyes to CNTs. However, upon incubation with the targeted proteases, specific peptide cleavage occurs and releases the dyes from the CNT surface, which results in the fluorescence recovery that provides the basis for a quantitative measurement of protease activity. With the use of three cancer-related proteases, matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), as the proof-of-concept analytes, the nanoprobe could simultaneously detect these proteases with high sensitivity and specificity. The limits of detection for this method are obtained in the range 0.5 pg mL-1 to 500 pg mL-1, which are two orders of magnitude lower than many previously reported methods. Moreover, the suitability of this CNT-based sensing platform for complex biological sample analysis has also been demonstrated. This approach holds great promise as a routine tool for the high-throughput screening of proteases in proteomics and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Dye conjugation is a common strategy improving the surface enhanced Raman detection sensitivity of biomolecules. Reported is a proof-of-concept study of a novel surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic tagging strategy termed as acid-cleavable SERS tag (ACST) method. Using Rhodamine B as the starting material, we prepared the first ACST prototype that consisted of, from the distal end, a SERS tag moiety (STM), an acid-cleavable linker, and a protein reactive moiety. Complete acid cleavage of the ACST tags was achieved at a very mild condition that is 1.5% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) aqueous solution at room temperature. SERS detection of this ACST tagged protein was demonstrated using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the model protein. While the SERS spectrum of intact ACST-BSA was entirely dominated by the fluorescent signal of STM, quality SERS spectra can be readily obtained with the acid cleaved ACST-BSA conjugates. Separation of the acid cleaved STM from protein further enhances the SERS sensitivity. Current SERS detection sensitivity, achieved with the acid cleaved ACST-BSA conjugate is ∼5 nM in terms of the BSA concentration and ∼1.5 nM in ACST content. The dynamic range of the cleaved ACST-BSA conjugate spans four orders of magnitudes from ∼10 nM to ∼100 μM in protein concentrations. Further improvement in the SERS sensitivity can be achieved with resonance Raman acquisition. This cleavable tagging strategy may also be used for elimination of protein interference in fluorescence based biomolecule detection.

Abstract
A new indirect approach to explore sensitive colorimetric sensors toward alpha-amino acids is proposed: the pink solution of 1 and copper ions changed to colorless immediately upon the addition of alpha-amino acids. As the hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with the aid of trypsin produces alpha-amino acids, the complex of 1/Cu(2+)/BSA could act as a label-free, sensitive, selective sensor toward trypsin. The detection process could be visually observed by naked eyes.
