Abstract
As emerging contaminants in the environment, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have aroused a global health crisis and posed a serious threat to ecological safety and human health. Thus, efficient and accurate onsite detection of ARGs is crucial for environmental surveillance. Here, we presented a colorimetric-photoelectrochemical (PEC) dual-mode bioassay for simultaneous detection of multiple ARGs by smartly incorporating rolling circle amplification (RCA) into a stimuli-responsive DNA nanoassembly, using the tetracycline resistance genes tetA and tetC as models. The tailored DNA nanoassembly containing RCA amplicons hybridized with specific signal probes: CuO nanoflowers-anchored signal DNA1 and HgO nanoparticles-anchored signal DNA2, respectively. Upon exposure to an acidic stimulus, numerous Cu2+ and Hg2+ were released, serving as the reporting agent of colorimetric/PEC dual-mode assay. The released Cu2+ and Hg2+ induced localized surface plasmon resonance shifts in Au nanorods and triangular Ag nanoplates through an etching process, respectively, enabling visual analysis of ARGs with distinguishing color changes. Meanwhile, numerous Cu2+ and Hg2+ triggered the amplified PEC variations via reacting with the photoactive layers of CuS/CdS and ZnS, respectively. Thus, a rapid and ultrasensitive colorimetric/PEC dual-mode detection of multiple ARGs was achieved with the detection limit down to 17.2 aM. Furthermore, such dual-mode bioassay could discriminate single-base mismatch and successfully determine ARGs in E. coli plasmids and sludge samples, holding great promise for point-of-care genetic diagnostics.

Abstract
Ligation efficiency in a surface-based DNA click chemistry (CuAAC) reaction is extremely restricted by the orientation and density of probes arranged on a heterogeneous surface. Herein, we engineer DNA tetrahedral nanostructure (DTN)-corbelled click chemistry to trigger a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) assembling a large-scale of nanozymes for ratiometric fluorescence detection of DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam). In this study, a DNA tetrahedron structure with an alkynyl modifying pendant DNA probe (Alk-DTN) is designed and assembled on a magnetic bead (MB) as a scaffold for click chemistry. When a CuO NP-encoded magnetic nanoparticle (CuO-MNP) substrate was methylated by Dam, CuO NPs were released and turned into a mass of Cu+. The Cu+ droves azido modifying lDNA (azide-lDNA) to connect with the Alk-DTN probe on the MB through the click reaction, forming an intact primer to initiate the HCR. The HCR product, a rigid structure double-stranded DNA, periodically assembles glucose oxidase mimicking gold nanoparticles (GNPs) into a large-scale of nanozymes for catalyzing the oxidation of glucose to H2O2. NH2-MIL-101 MOFs, a fluorescent indicator and a biomimetic catalyst, activated the product H2O2 to oxidize o-phenylenediamine (oPD) into visually detectable 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). The change of the signal ratio between DAP and NH2-MIL-101 is proportional to the methylation event corresponding to the MTase activity. In this study, the DTN enhances the efficiency of the surface-based DNA click reaction and maintains the catalytic activities of gold nanoparticle nanozymes due to the intrinsic nature of mechanical rigidity and well-controlled orientation and well-adjusted size. Large-scale assembly of nanozymes circumvents the loss of natural enzyme activity caused by chemical modification and greatly improves the amplification efficiency. The proposed biosensor displayed a low detection limit of 0.001 U mL-1 for Dam MTase due to multiple amplification and was effective in real samples and methylation inhibitor screening, providing a promising modular platform for bioanalysis.

Abstract
The concentration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood is strongly correlated with the progress of certain metastatic cancers. In this study, we have developed a novel and facile electrochemical biosensor for the detection of CTCs based on the use of manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Aptamer sequence of target cell is modified on the surface of AuNPs for specifical recognition. With low-speed centrifugation, numerous AuNPs@DNA can be removed from the supernatant. On the other hand, MnO2 NSs are modified on the electrode surface to capture unreacted AuNPs@DNA. The declined electrochemical signal intensity can be used to reflect the level of CTCs. This biosensor achieves a wide linear range from 10 to 104 cells mL-1 and a limit of detection as low as 3 cells mL-1. Due to the specific aptamer as the recognition element, interfering cells can be successfully distinguished and this method performs satisfactorily in clinical samples. Therefore, it has great potential to be used as a powerful tool benefiting rare cells analysis and the investigation of dynamics of cellular interactions.

Abstract
As important post-transcriptional regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) play irreplaceable roles in diverse cellular functions. Dysregulated miRNA expression is implicated in various diseases including cancers, and thus miRNAs have become the valuable biomarkers for disease monitoring. Recently, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) system has shown great promise for the development of next-generation biosensors because of its precise localization capability, good fidelity, and high cleavage activity. Herein, we review recent advance in development of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors for miRNA detection. We summarize the principles, features, and performance of these miRNA biosensors, and further highlight the remaining challenges and future directions.

Abstract
As an enzyme-free exponential nucleic acid amplification method, the click chemistry-mediated ligation chain reaction (ccLCR) has shown great prospects in the molecular diagnosis. However, the current optics-based ccLCR is challenged by remarkable nonspecific amplification, severely hindering its future application. This study demonstrated that the severe nonspecific amplification was generated probably due to high random collision in the high DNA probe concentration (μM level). To solve this hurdle, a nucleic acid template-dominated ccLCR was constructed using nM-level DNA probes and read on an electrochemical platform (cc-eLCR). Under the optimal conditions, the proposed cc-eLCR detected a low-level nucleic acid target (1 fM) with a single-base resolution. Furthermore, this assay was applied to detect the target of interest in cell extracts with a satisfactory result. The proposed cc-eLCR offers huge possibility for click chemistry-mediated enzyme-free exponential nucleic acid amplification in the application of medical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
The ligase chain reaction (LCR), as a classic nucleic acid amplification technique, is popular in the detection of DNA and RNA due to its simplicity, powerfulness, and high specificity. However, homogeneous and ultrasensitive LCR detection is still quite challenging. Herein, we integrate the LCR with a CRISPR-Cas12a system to greatly promote the application of the LCR in a homogeneous fashion. By employing microRNA as the model target, we design LCR probes with specific protospacer adjacent motif sequences and the guide RNA. Then, the LCR is initiated by target microRNA, and the LCR products specifically bind to the guide RNA to activate the Cas12a system, triggering secondary signal amplification to achieve ultrasensitive detection of microRNA without separation steps. Moreover, by virtue of a cationic conjugated polymer, microRNA can not only be visually detected by naked eyes but also be accurately quantified based on RGB ratio analysis of images with no need of sophisticated instruments. The method can quantify microRNA up to 4 orders of magnitude, and the determination limit is 0.4 aM, which is better than those of other reported studies using CRISPR-Cas12a and can be compared with that of the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. This study demonstrates that the CRISPR-Cas12a system can greatly expand the application of the LCR for the homogeneous, ultrasensitive, and visual detection of microRNA, showing great potential in efficient nucleic acid detection and in vitro diagnosis.

Abstract
Accurate detection of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a vital role in the diagnosis of various diseases. However, enzyme-free amplification detection remains challenging. Here, we report an enzyme-free fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay termed "3C-TASK" (cyclic click chemical-triggered hairpin stacking kit) for the detection of circulating miRNA. In this strategy, the miRNA could initiate copper-free click chemical ligation reactions and the ligated products then trigger another hairpin stacking circuit. The first signal amplification was achieved through the recycling of the target miRNA in the click chemical ligation circuit, and the second signal amplification was realized through the recycling of ligated probes in a hairpin stacking circuit driven by thermodynamics. The two-step chain reaction event triggered by miRNAs was quantified by the fluorescence signal value so that accurate detection of target miRNA could be achieved. The 3C-TASK was easily controlled because no enzyme was involved in the entire procedure. Although simple, this strategy showed sensitivity with a detection limit of 8.63 pM and specificity for distinguishing miRNA sequences with single-base variations. In addition, the applicability of this method in complex biological samples was verified by detecting target miRNA in diluted plasma samples. Hence, our method achieved sensitive and specific detection of miRNA and may offer a new perspective for the broader application of enzyme-free chemical reaction and DNA circuits in biosensing.

Abstract
Over the years, click and bioorthogonal reactions have been the subject of considerable research efforts. These high-performance chemical reactions have been developed to meet requirements not often provided by the chemical reactions commonly used today in the biological environment, such as selectivity, rapid reaction rate, and biocompatibility. Click and bioorthogonal reactions have been attracting increasing attention in the biomedical field for the engineering of nanomedicines. In this review, we study a compilation of articles from 2014 to the present, using the terms "click chemistry and nanoparticles (NPs)" to highlight the application of this type of chemistry for applications involving NPs intended for biomedical applications. This study identifies the main strategies offered by click and bioorthogonal chemistry, with respect to passive and active targeting, for NP functionalization with specific and multiple properties for imaging and cancer therapy. In the final part, a novel and promising approach for "two step" targeting of NPs, called pretargeting (PT), is also discussed; the principle of this strategy as well as all the studies listed from 2014 to the present are presented in more detail.

However, the unnatural linkage structure formed by the ligation reaction generally impairs the biological function of the resulting ligated DNA. We achieved the complete chemical synthesis of 78 and 258 bp synthetic DNAs via multiple chemical ligation reactions with phosphorothioate and haloacyl-modified DNA fragments. The latter synthetic DNA, coding shRNA for luciferase genes with a designed truncated SV promoter sequence, successfully induced the expected gene silencing effect in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Accelerated DNA hybridization chain reactions (HCRs) using DNA origami as a scaffold have received considerable attention in dynamic DNA nanotechnology. However, tailor-made designs are essential for DNA origami scaffolds, hampering the practical application of accelerated HCRs. Here, we constructed the semilocalized HCR and localized HCR systems using magnetic beads (MBs) as a simple scaffold to explore them for the enzyme-free miR-21 detection. The semilocalized HCR system relied on free diffusing one hairpin DNA and MBs immobilized with another hairpin DNA, and the localized HCR system relied on MBs coimmobilized with two hairpin DNAs. We demonstrated that the DNA density on MBs plays a critical role in HCR kinetics and limit of detection (LOD). Among semilocalized HCR systems, MBs with a medium DNA density showed a faster HCR and lower LOD (10 pM) than the diffusive (conventional) HCR system (LOD: 86 pM). In contrast, the HCR further accelerated for the localized HCR systems as the DNA density increased. The localized HCR system with the highest DNA density showed the fastest HCR and the lowest LOD (533 fM). These findings are of great importance for the rational design of accelerated HCRs using simple scaffolds for practical applications.

Abstract
Toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction, the fundamental basis in dynamic DNA nanotechnology, has proven its extraordinary power in programming dynamic molecular systems. Programmed activation of the toehold in a DNA substrate is crucial for building sophisticated DNA devices with digital and dynamic behaviors. Here we developed a detachable DNA circuit by embedding a pH-controlled intermolecular triplex between the toehold and branch migration domain of the traditional "linear substrate". The reaction rate and the "on/off" state of the detachable circuit can be regulated by varying the pHs. Similarly, a two-input circuit composed of three pH-responsive DNA modules was then constructed. Most importantly, a resettable self-assembly system of spherical nucleic acids was built by utilizing the high detachability of the intermolecular triplex structure-based DNA circuit. This work demonstrated a dynamic DNA device that can be repeatedly operated at constant temperature without generating additional waste DNA products. Moreover, this strategy showed an example of recycling waste spherical nucleic acids from a self-assembly system of spherical nucleic acids. Our strategy will provide a facile approach for dynamic regulation of complex molecular systems and reprogrammable nanoparticle assembly structures.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a triple-parameter strategy for the detection of telomerase activity from cancer cells and urine samples. This strategy was developed based on magnetic bead-enzyme hybrids combined with fluorescence analysis, colorimetric assay, or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) meter as readout. The application of magnetic bead-enzyme hybrids has the advantages of magnetic separation and signal amplification. These detection methods can be used individually or in combination to achieve the optimal sensing performance and make the results more convincing. Among them, the ATP meter with portable size had easy operation and low cost, and this response strategy provided a higher sensitivity at the single-cell level. The designed strategy was suitable as naked-eye sensor and point-of-care testing (POCT) for rapid assaying of telomerase activity.

Abstract
Smart materials that can switch between different states under the influence of chemical triggers are highly demanded in biomedicine, where specific responsiveness to biomarkers is imperative for precise diagnostics and therapy. Superior selectivity of drug delivery to malignant cells may be achieved with the nanoagents that stay "inert" until "activation" by the characteristic profile of microenvironment cues (e.g., tumor metabolites, angiogenesis factors, microRNA/DNA, etc.). However, despite a wide variety and functional complexity of smart material designs, their real-life applications are hindered by very limited sensitivity to inputs. Here, we present ultrasensitive smart nanoagents with input-dependent On/Off switchable affinity to a biomedical target based on a combination of gold nanoparticles with low-energy polymer structures. In the proposed method, a nanoparticle-based agent is surface coated with a custom designed flexible polymer chain, which has an input-switchable structure that regulates accessibility of the terminal receptor for target binding. Implementation of the concept with a DNA-model of such polymer has yielded nanoagents that have input-dependent cell-targeting capabilities and responsiveness to as little as 30 fM of DNA input in 15 min lateral flow assay. Thus, we show that surface phenomena can augment nanoagents with capability for switchable affinity without compromising the sensitivity to inputs. The proposed approach is promising for development of next-generation theranostic agents and ultrasensitive nanosensors for point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
The high-sensitive and rapid detection of critical biomarkers, e.g., disease-related nucleic acids and proteins, is always desired. Compared with the routine homogenous detection strategies, the on-bead flow cytometry (FCM)-based assays have drawn a lot of interests owing to their unique advantages. On one hand, microbeads (MBs) are employed for the enrichment of fluorescent signals, allowing the size encoding for multiplexed detection of biomarkers. On the other hand, FCM enables the fast read-out of the total fluorescent signals enriched on the MBs and the decoding of MBs' size information. For an improved sensitivity and versatile application scenarios, the signal amplification on MBs is required. However, the enzyme-catalyzed on-bead reactions remain challenging owing to the critical reaction conditions on the MBs/solution interface. Toward the high-sensitive detection of target biomolecules in real-samples, a series of on-bead enzyme-catalyzed signal amplification strategies have been developed. After careful optimization of the reaction conditions, the proposed sensors are proven to have ultra-high sensitivities to fulfill the requirement of real-sample detection.

Abstract
The analysis of circulating cancer biomarkers, including cell-free and circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells, microRNA and exosomes, holds promise in revolutionizing cancer diagnosis and prognosis using body fluid analysis, also known as liquid biopsy. To enable clinical application of these biomarkers, new analytical tools capable of detecting them in very low concentrations in complex sample matrixes are needed. Metal nanoparticles have emerged as extraordinary analytical scaffolds because of their unique optoelectronic properties and ease of functionalization. Hence, multiple analytical techniques have been developed based on these nanoparticles and their plasmonic properties. The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the present development on the use of metal nanoparticles for the analysis of circulating cancer biomarkers. We examine how metal nanoparticles can be used as (1) analytical transducers in various sensing principles, such as aggregation induced colorimetric assays, plasmon resonance energy transfer, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and refractive index sensing, and (2) signal amplification elements in surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and electrochemical detection. We critically discuss the clinical relevance of each category of circulating biomarkers, followed by a thorough analysis of how these nanoparticle-based designs have overcome some of the main challenges that gold standard analytical techniques currently face, and what new directions the field may take in the future.

Abstract
The programmable toehold-mediated DNA-strand-displacement reaction has demonstrated its extraordinary capability in driving the spherical nucleic acid assembly. Here, a facile strategy of integrating a DNA-strand-displacement-based DNA circuit with a universal spherical nucleic acid aggregate system was developed for the visible disassembly of spherical nucleic acids. This integrated system exhibited rapid colorimetric response and good sensitivity in the disassembly reaction and demonstrated its capability in the application of single nucleotide polymorphism discrimination. Moreover, an OR logic gate used for multiplex detection was constructed through combining the fixed spherical nucleic acid disassembly system with two DNA circuits. This strategy will have great potential in the fabrication of a portable low-cost DNA diagnostic kit, and it is also a very promising method to be used in other applications, such as complex DNA networks and programmable phase transformation of nanoparticle superlattices.

Abstract
The development of ultrasensitive methods for detecting specific genes and discriminating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is important for biomedical research and clinical disease diagnosis. Herein, we report an ultrasensitive approach for label-free detection and discrimination of a full-match target-DNA from its cancer related SNPs by combining magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) capture and poly-enzyme nanobead signal amplification. It uses a MNP linked capture-DNA and a biotinylated signal-DNA to sandwich the target followed by ligation to offer high SNP discrimination: only the perfect-match target-DNA yields a covalently linked biotinylated signal-DNA on the MNP surface for subsequent binding to a neutravidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (NAV-HRP) for signal amplification. The use of polymer nanobeads each tagged with thousands of copies of HRPs greatly improves the signal amplification power, allowing for direct, amplification-free quantification of low aM target-DNA over 6 orders of magnitude (0.001-1000 fM). Moreover, this sensor also offers excellent discrimination between the perfect-match gene and its cancer-related SNPs and can positively detect 1 fM perfect-match target-DNA in the presence of 100 fold excess of co-existing single-base mismatch targets. Furthermore, it works robustly in clinically relevant media (e.g. 10% human serum) and gives even higher SNP discrimination than that in clean buffers. This ultrasensitive DNA sensor appears to have excellent potential for rapid detection and diagnosis of genetic diseases.

Abstract
Colloidal behaviors of particles functionalized with biomolecules are generally complicated. This study describes that colloidal behaviors of double-stranded (ds) DNA-carrying polymer micelles are well controlled by altering the molar ratio of single-stranded (ss) DNA moiety in the dsDNA shell. ssDNA-carrying micelles composed of a poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) core surrounded by a dense shell of ssDNAs were prepared through self-assembly of PNIPAAm grafted with ssDNA by incubating its solution above the lower critical solution temperature. Spontaneous, non-cross-linking aggregation of the micelles was triggered by DNA duplex formation on the surface. Comparison of the critical coagulation concentration of NaCl among a series of the DNA-carrying micelles revealed the relationship between the helical structure of the surface-bound DNA and the colloidal stability of the micelles. The electrophoretic mobility analysis of the micelles indicated that the duplex formation reduced the structural flexibility of the surface-bound DNA, thereby decreasing the interparticle entropic repulsion. It is also suggested that the augmented rigidity of the surface-bound DNA increases the number of terminal base pairs facing the solvent, which could lead to multiple blunt-end stacking interaction among the micelles. Therefore, small DNA molecules could be considered unique surface-modifiers capable of controlling interactions between the surfaces of materials.

Abstract
In this study, a fast and simple fluorescent genotyping strategy, streptavidin magnetic beads combined with biotin-coupled PCR and restriction-fragment release, was developed for determination of nucleotide variants. This method was further applied for analyzing SMN1 gene in diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). After biotin-coupled PCR, the streptavidin magnetic beads would capture the biotin-labeled SMN genetic fragments, and then the restriction enzyme of HPY188I could only digest and release the fluorescent end of SMN1 genetic fragment into the supernatant. Therefore, the SMN1 gene could be easily fluorescently quantified, and SMN2 would not, for diagnosis of SMA. The copy number of the SMN1 gene could be regressed using the relative fluorescent unit versus the known copy number, and the coefficient of correlation is equal to 0.9617 ( r = 0.9617). In this research, a total of 16 blind DNA samples were analyzed, including 6 wild types, 5 carriers, and 5 SMA patients. Importantly, this fast, simple, and highly efficient method is universal for detection of all nucleotides variants by replacing the specific restriction enzyme. This technique has the potency to be served as a tool for fast and accurate diagnosis of genotypes in clinical medicine.

Abstract
Plasmonics-based biosensing assays have been extensively employed for biomedical applications. Significant advancements in use of plasmonic assays for the construction of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic methods have been made to provide effective and urgent health care of patients, especially in resourcelimited settings. This rapidly progressive research area, centered on the unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of metallic nanostructures with exceptional absorption and scattering abilities, has greatly facilitated the development of cost-effective, sensitive, and rapid strategies for disease diagnostics and improving patient healthcare in both developed and developing worlds. This review highlights the recent advances and applications of plasmonic technologies for highly sensitive protein and nucleic acid biomarker detection. In particular, we focus on the implementation and penetration of various plasmonic technologies in conventional molecular diagnostic assays, and discuss how such modification has resulted in simpler, faster, and more sensitive alternatives that are suited for point-of-use. Finally, integration of plasmonic molecular assays with various portable POC platforms for mobile health applications are highlighted.

Abstract
A versatile flow cytometric strategy is developed for the sensitive detection of plant microRNA (miRNA) by coupling the target-templated click nucleic acid ligation (CNAL) with on-bead terminal enzymatic DNA polymerization (TEP). Unlike ligase-catalyzed ligation reaction, the plant miRNA-templated enzyme-free CNAL between two single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes, respectively modified with Aza-dibenzocyclooctyne (Aza-DBCO) and N3, can not only simplify the operation, but also achieve a much higher ligation efficiency. More importantly, the undesirable nonspecific ligation between the Aza-DBCO- and N3-modified ssDNA, can be effectively eliminated by adding Tween-20, which allows the use of cycling CNAL (CCNAL) in a background-free manner. So each plant miRNA can template many rounds of CNAL reaction to produce numerous ligation products, forming efficient signal amplification. The ligated ssDNA can be anchored on the magnetic beads (MBs) with the 3'-OH termini exposed outside. Then terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), a sequence-independent and template-free polymerase, would specifically catalyze the DNA polymerization along these 3'-OH termini on the MBs, forming poly(T) tails up to thousands of nucleotides long. Each poly(T) tail allows specific binding of numerous 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled poly(A)25 oligonucleotides to accumulate a lot of fluorophores on the MBs, leading to the second step of signal amplification. By integrating the advantages of CCNAL-TEP for highly efficient signal amplification and robust MBs signal readout with powerful flow cytometer, high sensitivity is achieved and the detection limit of plant miRNA has been pushed down to a low level of 5 fM with high specificity to well discriminate even single-base difference between miRNA targets.

Abstract
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification in human genomes. Herein, we develop a single quantum dot (QD)-based nanosensor for sensitive detection of DNA methylation at both CpG and non-CpG sites using tricyclic ligation chain reaction (LCR)-mediated QD-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). We design two sets of DNA probes (X and Y, X' and Y') for methylated DNA assay. In the presence of thermostable DNA ligase, probes X and Y may adjacently hybridize with the methylated DNA to obtain the ligated XY products which may function as the templates for probes X' and Y' to generate the X'Y' products. The resultant X'Y' products may in turn act as the templates to ligate probes X and Y for the generation of XY products, consequently inducing tricyclic LCR amplification under thermal denaturation conditions to generate a large number of XY products. The subsequent hybridization of XY products with the capture and reporter probes results in the formation of sandwich hybrids which may assemble on the 605QD surface to obtain 605QD-oligonucleotide-Cy5 nanostructures, inducing efficient FRET from the 605QD to Cy5 and the emission of Cy5. This nanosensor can detect DNA methylation at single 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) resolution with a detection limit of as low as 1.0 aM and a large dynamic range of 7 orders of magnitude. Moreover, this nanosensor can distinguish as low as a 0.01% methylation level, and it can detect DNA methylation in human lung cancer cells as well, holding great potential for accurate epigenetic evaluation and early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, we present a novel gold nanoparticle (AuNP) enumeration-based colorimetric aptamer biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of nucleic acid. This AuNP enumeration-based colorimetric method takes advantages of the distinctive and strong localized surface plasmon resonance light scattering with the dark-field microscope. In our model system, first, cost-effective DNA1 instead of expensive 2-thioethyl ether acetic acid was capped on the surface of AuNPs to form a dense DNA1 layer. Then, two DNA strands (DNA2 and DNA3) in two different solutions were separately asymmetrically functionalized on the AuNPs capped dense DNA1 layer. The subsequent binding of the target DNA could trigger the formation of perfect complementary DNA with a Y shape and adjust the distance between nanoparticles to form AuNP dimers, accompanied by a color change from green to yellow as observed, and thereby modulated the performance of the sensor, which resulted in the ultrahigh sensitivity. With this design, a 43 aM limit of detection was obtained, which exhibited an increase of at least 5-9 orders of magnitude in sensitivity over other colorimetric sensors fabricated using conventional strategies.

Abstract
In this work, a chemiluminescence-driven collapsible greeting card-like photoelectrochemical lab-on-paper device (GPECD) with hollow channel was demonstrated, in which target-triggering cascade DNA amplification strategy was ingeniously introduced. The GPECD had the functions of reagents storage and signal collection, and the change of configuration could control fluidic path, reaction time and alterations in electrical connectivity. In addition, three-dimentional reduced graphene oxide affixed Au flower was in situ grown on paper cellulose fiber for achieving excellent conductivity and biocompatibility. The cascade DNA amplification strategy referred to the cyclic formation of target analog chain and its trigger action to hybridization chain reaction (HCR), leading to the formation of numerous hemin/G-quadruplex DNA mimic enzyme with the presence of hemin. Subjected to the catalysis of hemin/G-quadruplex, the strong chemiluminiscence of luminol-H2O2 system was obtained, which then was used as internal light source to excite photoactive materials realizing the simplification of instrument. In this analyzing process, thrombin served as proof-of-concept, and the concentration of target was converted into the DNA signal output by the specific recognition of aptamer-protein and target analog chain recycling. The target analog chain was produced in quantity with the presence of target, which further triggered abundant HCR and introduced hemin/G-quadruplex into the system. The photocurrent signal was obtained after the nitrogen-doped carbon dots sensitized ZnO was stimulated by chemiluminescence. The proposed GPECD exhibited excellent specificity and sensitivity toward thrombin with a detection limit of 16.7 fM. This judiciously engineered GPECD paved a luciferous way for detecting other protein with trace amounts in bioanalysis and clinical biomedicine.

Abstract
Colorimetric detection of target analytes with high specificity and sensitivity is of fundamental importance to clinical and personalized point-of-care diagnostics. Because of their extraordinary optical properties, plasmonic nanomaterials have been introduced into colorimetric sensing systems, which provide significantly improved sensitivity in various biosensing applications. Here we review the recent progress on these plasmonic nanoparticles-based colorimetric nanosensors for ultrasensitive molecular diagnostics. According to their different colorimetric signal generation mechanisms, these plasmonic nanosensors are classified into two categories: (1) interparticle distance-dependent colorimetric assay based on target-induced forming cross-linking assembly/aggregate of plasmonic nanoparticles; and (2) size/morphology-dependent colorimetric assay by target-controlled growth/etching of the plasmonic nanoparticles. The sensing fundamentals and cutting-edge applications will be provided for each of them, particularly focusing on signal generation and/or amplification mechanisms that realize ultrasensitive molecular detection. Finally, we also discuss the challenge and give our future perspective in this emerging field.

Abstract
Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can lead to liver failure and can cause liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Reliable means for detecting and monitoring HBV infection are essential to identify patients in need of therapy and to prevent HBV transmission. Nanomaterials with defined electrical, optical, and mechanical properties have been developed to detect and quantify viral antigens. In this review, we discuss the challenges in applying nanoparticles to HBV antigen detection and in realizing the bio-analytical potential of such nanoparticles. We discuss recent developments in generating detection platforms based on gold and iron oxide nanoparticles. Such platforms increase biological material detection efficiency by the targeted capture and concentration of HBV antigens, but the unique properties of nanoparticles can also be exploited for direct, sensitive, and specific antigen detection. We discuss several studies that show that nanomaterial-based platforms enable ultrasensitive HBV antigen detection.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles have proven to be promising for decentralized nucleic acid testing by virtue of their simple visual readout and absorbance-based quantification. A major challenge toward their practical application is to achieve ultrasensitive detection without compromising simplicity. The conventional strategy of thermocycling amplification is unfavorable (because of both instrumentation and preparation of thermostable oligonucleotide-modified gold nanoparticle probes). Herein, on the basis of a previously unreported co-precipitation phenomenon between thiolated poly(ethylene glycol)/11-mercaptoundecanoic acid co-modified gold nanoparticles and magnesium pyrophosphate crystals (an isothermal DNA amplification reaction byproduct), a new ultrasensitive and simple DNA assay platform is developed. The binding mechanism underlying the co-precipitation phenomenon is found to be caused by the complexation of carboxyl and pyrophosphate with free magnesium ions. Remarkably, poly(ethylene glycol) does not hinder the binding and effectively stabilizes gold nanoparticles against magnesium ion-induced aggregation (without pyrophosphate). In fact, a similar phenomenon is observed in other poly(ethylene glycol)- and carboxyl-containing nanomaterials. When the gold nanoparticle probe is incorporated into a loop-mediated isothermal amplification reaction, it remains as a red dispersion for a negative sample (in the absence of a target DNA sequence) but appears as a red precipitate for a positive sample (in the presence of a target). This results in a first-of-its-kind gold nanoparticle-based DNA assay platform with isothermal amplification and real-time monitoring capabilities.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Successful development of sensitive nanoprobes for breast cancer cell detection is of great importance for breast cancer diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. Herein, inspired by the intrinsic peroxidase property of gold nanoclusters, high loading, and targeting ability of ErbB2/Her2 antibody functionalized liposomes, we report that gold nanoclusters-loaded, target-directed, functionalized liposomes can serve as a robust sensing platform for amplified colorimetric detection of HER2-positive breast cancer cells. This approach allows HER2-positive breast cancer cell identification at high sensitivity with high selectivity. In addition, the colorimetric “readout” offers extra advantages in terms of low-cost, portability, and easy-to-use applications. The practicality of this platform was further proved by successful detection of HER2-positive breast cancer cells in human serum samples and in breast cancer tissue, which indicated our proposed method has potential for application in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Highly sensitive detection of K-ras gene is of great significance in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. Here, we developed a colorimetric biosensing system for the detection of proto-oncogene K-ras based on enhanced amplification effect of DNA molecular machine, where dual isothermal circular strand-displacement amplification (D-SDA) occurs on two arms in one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, we designed a primer-locked hairpin probe (HP) and a primer-contained linear polymerization template (PPT). In the presence of target gene, HP can hybridize with PPT, forming a DNA molecular machine with dual functional arms (called DFA-machine). Each of the two probes in this machine is able to be extended by polymerase on its counterpart species. Moreover, with the help of nicking endonuclease, the dual isothermal polymerization is converted into dual circular strand-displacement amplification, generating a large amount of anti-hemin aptamer-contained products. After binding to hemins, the aptamer/hemin duplex, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking DNAzyme, was formed and catalyzed the oxidation of colorless ABTS by H2O2, producing a visible green color. The proposed colorimetric assay exhibits a wide linear range from 0.01 to 150nM with a low detection limit of 10pM. More interestingly, the mutations existing in target gene are easily observed by the naked eye. It should be noted that this colorimetric system was proved by the analysis of K-ras gene of SW620 cell lines. The simple and powerful DFA-machine is expected to provide promising potential in the sensitive detection of biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.

Abstract
Involvement of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping in healthcare should allow for more effective use of pharmacogenomics. However, user-friendly assays without the requirement of a special instrument still remain unavailable. This study describes naked-eye SNP discrimination in exon 5 of the human cytochrome P450 2C19 monooxygenase gene, CYP2C19*1 (the wild-type allele) and CYP2C19*2 (the variant allele with G681A point mutation). The present assay is composed of allele-specific single-base primer extension and salt-induced aggregation of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs). Genetic samples extracted from human hair roots are subjected to this assay. The results are verified by direct sequencing. This study should promise the prospective use of DNA-AuNPs in gene diagnosis.

Abstract
The remarkable physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have prompted developments in the exploration of biomolecular interactions with AuNP-containing systems, in particular for biomedical applications in diagnostics. These systems show great promise in improving sensitivity, ease of operation and portability. Despite this endeavor, most platforms have yet to reach maturity and make their way into clinics or points of care (POC). Here, we present an overview of emerging and available molecular diagnostics using AuNPs for biomedical sensing that are currently being translated to the clinical setting.

Abstract
The efficiency of photon-to-electron conversion is extremely restricted by the electron-hole recombinant. Here, a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform has been established based on the signal amplification of click chemistry (CC) via hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for highly sensitive microRNA (miRNA) assay. In this proposal, a preferred electron donor dopamine (DA) was first assembled with designed ligation probe (probe-N3) via amidation reaction to achieve DA-coordinated signal probe (PDA-N3). The PDA-N3 served as a flexible trigger to signal amplification through efficiently suppressing the electron-hole recombinant. Specifically, the PDA-N3 can be successfully ligated into the trapped hairpins (H1 and H2) via the superior ligation method of metal-catalyst-free CC, in which the electron donor DA was introduced into the assay system. Moreover, the enzyme-free HCR, employed as a versatile amplification way, ensures that lots of PDA-N3 can be attached to the substrate. This PEC sensing for miRNA-141 detection illustrated the outstanding linear response to a concentration variation from 0.1 fM to 0.5 nM and a detection limit down to 27 aM, without additional electron donors. The sensor is further employed to monitor miRNA-141 from prostate carcinoma cell (22Rv1), showing good quantitative detection capability. This strategy exquisitely influences the analytical performance and offers a new PEC route to highly selective and sensitive detection of biological molecules.

Abstract
A multifunctional fluorescence platform has been constructed based on gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-catalyzed uranine reduction. The catalytic reduction of uranine was conducted in aqueous solution using AuNPs as nanocatalyst and sodium borohydride as reducing reagent, which was monitored by fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy. The reaction rate was highly dependent on the concentration, size and dispersion state of AuNPs. When AuNPs aggregated, their catalytic ability decreased, and thereby a label-free fluorescent assay was developed for the detection of melamine, which can be used for melamine determination in milk. In addition, a fluorescent immunoassay for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was established using the catalytic reaction for signal amplification based on target-induced concentration change of AuNPs, where AFB1-BSA-coated magnetic beads and anti-AFB1 antibody-conjugated AuNPs were employed as capture and signal probe, respectively. The detection can be accomplished in 1 h and acceptable recoveries in spiked maize samples were achieved. The developed fluorescence system is simple, sensitive and specific, which could be used for the detection of a wide range of analytes.

Abstract
An enzyme-free signal amplification-based assay for DNA detection was developed using fluorescent hairpin DNA probes coupled with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The hairpin DNAs were designed to contain abasic sites in the stem moiety. Non-covalent labeling of the hairpin DNAs was achieved when a fluorescent ligand was bound to the abasic sites through hydrogen bonding with the orphan cytosine present on the complementary strand, accompanied by quench of ligand fluorescence. As a result, the resultant probes, the complex formed between the hairpin DNA and ligand, showed almost no fluorescence. Upon hybridization with target DNA, the probe underwent a dehybridization of the stem moiety containing an abasic site. The release of ligand from the abasic site to the solution resulted in an effective fluorescent enhancement, which can be used as a signal. Compared with a sensing system without HCR, a 20-fold increase in the sensitivity was achieved using the sensing system with HCR. The fluorescent intensity of the sensing system increased with the increase in target DNA concentration from 0.5 nM to 100 nM. A single mismatched target ss-DNA could be effectively discriminated from complementary target DNA. Genotyping of a G/C single-nucleotide polymorphism of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products was successfully demonstrated with the sensing system. Therefore, integrating HCR strategy with non-covalent labeling of fluorescent hairpin DNA probes provides a sensitive and cost-effective DNA assay.

Abstract
Visual detection of nucleic acids provides simple and rapid screening for infectious diseases or environmental pathogens. However, sensitivity is the current bottleneck, which may require enzymatic amplification for targets in low abundance and make them incompatible with detection at resource-limited sites. Here we report an enzyme-free amplification that provides a sensitive visual detection of ssDNA/RNA oligonucleotides on the basis of nano "sticky balls". When target oligonucleotides are present, magnetic microparticles (MMPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were linked together, allowing the collection of AuNPs after magnetic attraction. Subsequently, the collected AuNPs, which carry many oligonucleotides, were used as the sticky balls to link a second pair of MMPs and polymer microparticles (PMPs). Thus, because the magnetic field can attract the MMPs as well as the linked PMPs to the sidewall, the reduction of suspended PMPs yields a change of light transmission visible by the naked eye. Our results demonstrate that the limit of detection is 10 amol for ssDNAs (228 fM in 45 μL) and 75 amol for ssRNAs (1.67 pM in 45 μL). This method is also compatible with the serum environment and detection of a microRNA, miR-155, derived from human breast cancer cells. With significantly improved sensitivity for visual detection, it provides great potential for point-of-care applications at resource-limited sites.
