Abstract
Wastewater is a complex, but an ideal, matrix for disease monitoring and surveillance as it represents the entire load of enteric pathogens from a local catchment area. It captures both clinical and community disease burdens. Global interest in wastewater surveillance has been growing rapidly for infectious diseases monitoring and for providing an early warning of potential outbreaks. Although molecular detection methods show high sensitivity and specificity in pathogen monitoring from wastewater, they are strongly limited by challenges, including expensive laboratory settings and prolonged sample processing and analysis. Alternatively, biosensors exhibit a wide range of practical utility in real-time monitoring of biological and chemical markers. However, field deployment of biosensors is primarily challenged by prolonged sample processing and pathogen concentration steps due to complex wastewater matrices. This review summarizes the role of wastewater surveillance and provides an overview of infectious viral and bacterial pathogens with cutting-edge technologies for their detection. It emphasizes the practical utility of biosensors in pathogen monitoring and the major bottlenecks for wastewater surveillance of pathogens, and overcoming approaches to field deployment of biosensors for real-time pathogen detection. Furthermore, the promising potential of novel machine learning algorithms to resolve uncertainties in wastewater data is discussed.

Abstract
The dynamics of excited electronic states in self-assembled structures formed between silver(I) ions and cytosine-containing DNA strands or monomeric cytosine derivatives were investigated by time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy and quantum mechanical calculations. The steady-state and time-resolved spectra depend sensitively on the underlying structures, which change with pH and the nucleobase and silver ion concentrations. At pH ∼ 4 and low dC20 strand concentration, an intramolecularly folded i-motif is observed, in which protons, and not silver ions, mediate C-C base pairing. However, at the higher strand concentrations used in the TRIR measurements, dC20 strands associate pairwise to yield duplex structures containing C-Ag+-C base pairs with a high degree of propeller twisting. UV excitation of the silver ion-mediated duplex produces a long-lived excited state, which we assign to a triplet excimer state localized on a pair of stacked cytosines. The computational results indicate that the propeller-twisted motifs induced by metal-ion binding are responsible for the enhanced intersystem crossing that populates the triplet state and not a generic heavy atom effect. Although triplet excimer states have been discussed frequently as intermediates in the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, we find neither computational nor experimental evidence for cytosine-cytosine photoproduct formation in the systems studied. These findings provide a rare demonstration of a long-lived triplet excited state that is formed in a significant yield in a DNA duplex, demonstrating that supramolecular structural changes induced by metal ion binding profoundly affect DNA photophysics.

Simple and cheap CRISPR/Cas12a biosensor based on plug-and-play of DNA aptamers for the detection of endocrine-disrupting compounds. Talanta 2023; 263:124761.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are widely distributed in the environment. Here, we present a CRISPR/Cas12a (CAS) biosensor based on DNA aptamers for point-of-care detection of EDCs. Two typical EDCs, 17β-estradiol (E2) and bisphenol A (BPA), were selected to be detected by the CAS biosensors via the plug-and-play of their DNA aptamers. The results indicated that the performance of the CAS biosensors can be well regulated by controlling the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a on a single-stranded DNA reporter and optimizing the sequence and ratio of DNA aptamer and activator DNA. Ultimately, two reliable and specific biosensors were developed, with the linear range and limit of detection of 0.2-25 nM and 0.08 nM for E2 and of 0.1-250 nM and 0.06 nM for BPA, respectively. Compared to the existing detection methods, the CAS biosensors showed higher reliability and sensitivity with simple operation, short detection time, and no costly equipment.

Abstract
Biosensors are compact analytical devices capable of transducing a biological interaction event into a measurable signal outcome in real-time. They can provide sensitive and affordable analysis of samples without the need for additional laboratory equipment or complex preparation steps. Biosensors may be beneficial for forensic analysis as they can facilitate large-scale high-throughput, sensitive screening of forensic samples to detect target molecules that are of high evidential value. Nanomaterials are gaining attention as desirable components of biosensors that can enhance detection and signal efficiency. Biosensors that incorporate nanomaterials within their design have been widely reported and developed for medical purposes but are yet to find routine employment within forensic science despite their proven potential. In this article, key examples of the use of nanomaterials within optical biosensors designed for forensic analysis are outlined. Their design and mechanism of detection are both considered throughout, discussing how nanomaterials can enhance the detection of the target analyte. The critical evaluation of the optical biosensors detailed within this review article should help to guide future optical biosensor design via the incorporation of nanomaterials, for not only forensic analysis but alternative analytical fields where such biosensors may prove a valuable addition to current workflows.

A Highly Sensitive Urinary Exosomal miRNAs Biosensor Applied to Evaluation of Prostate Cancer Progression. BIOENGINEERING (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:bioengineering9120803.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the male population, carrying a significant disease burden. PSA is a widely available screening tools for this disease. Current screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE)-based biosensors use a two-pronged probe approach to capture urinary miRNA. We were able to successfully detect specific exosomal miRNAs (exomiRs) in the urine of patients with prostate cancer, including exomiR-451 and exomiR-21, and used electrochemistry for measurement and analysis. Our results significantly reaffirmed the presence of exomiR-451 in urine and that a CV value higher than 220 nA is capable of identifying the presence of disease (p-value = 0.005). Similar results were further proven by a PAS greater than 4 (p-value = 0.001). Moreover, a higher urinary exomiR-21 was observed in the high-T3b stage; this significantly decreased following tumor removal (p-values were 0.016 and 0.907, respectively). According to analysis of the correlation with tumor metastasis, a higher exomiR-21 was associated with lymphatic metastasis (p-value 0.042), and higher exomiR-461 expression was correlated with tumor stage (p-value 0.031), demonstrating that the present exomiR biosensor can usefully predict tumor progression. In conclusion, this biosensor represents an easy-to-use, non-invasive screening tool that is both sensitive and specific. We strongly believe that this can be used in conjunction with PSA for the screening of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Arsenic is a ubiquitously found metalloid in our ecosystem because of natural and anthropogenic activities. People exposed to a higher level of arsenic become susceptible to several disorders, including cancer. According to current statistics, the population chronically exposed to arsenic has surpassed 200 million. Therefore, its detection in our environment is of great importance. There are many analytical techniques for the assessment of arsenic in different kinds of environmental samples. Among these techniques, the biosensor is considered a convenient platform and a widely applied analytical device for rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis in the field of environmental monitoring, food safety, and disease diagnosis. Today, there is a trend of including nanomaterials in sensors and biosensors because it empowers researchers to explore new arsenic detection methods and to enhance their analytical capabilities. In this review article, we summarized the latest developments in arsenic biosensors in particular with emphasis on the works based on cell-free approaches that are protein/enzyme-based, DNA-based, and aptamer-based utilizing various transduction platforms. In the meantime, we compared the capabilities that were related to these cell-free arsenic biosensors. This review article also highlights the development and application of novel nanomaterials for arsenic detection.

Abstract
Research in cancer diagnostics has recently established its footing and significance in the biosensor sphere, emphasizing the idea of a unique probe design used as a sensor and actuator, to identify the presence of protein, DNA, RNA, or miRNA. The fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) probe and biotinylated probe are designed for a two-pronged approach to the detection of the urinary miR-21 and miR-141, both of which have demonstrated significance in the development and progression of colorectal cancer, a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. The remainder of the apparatus is composed of a modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), to which the probes adhere, that transduces signals via the redox reaction between H2O2 and HRP, measured with chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry. The precise nature of our ultra-non-invasive biosensor makes for a highly sensitive and practical cancer detector, concluded by the significance when establishing disease presence (miR-21 p-value = 0.0176, miR-141 p-value = 0.0032), disease follow-up (miR-21 p-value = 0.00154, miR141 p-value < 0.0005), and even disease severity. This article hopes to emphasize the potential of an additional clinical tool for the management of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Clinical diagnostic tests should be quick, reliable, simple to perform, and affordable for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this regard, owing to their novel properties, biosensors have attracted the attention of scientists as well as end-users. They are efficient, stable, and relatively cheap. Biosensors have broad applications in medical diagnosis, including point-of-care (POC) monitoring, forensics, and biomedical research. The electrochemical nucleic acid (NA) biosensor, the latest invention in this field, combines the sensitivity of electroanalytical methods with the inherent bioselectivity of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The NA biosensor exploits the affinity of single-stranded DNA/RNA for its complementary strand and is used to detect complementary sequences of NA based on hybridization. After the NA component in the sensor detects the analyte, a catalytic reaction or binding event that generates an electrical signal in the transducer ensues. Since 2000, much progress has been made in this field, but there are still numerous challenges. This critical review describes the advances, challenges, and prospects of NA-based electrochemical biosensors for clinical diagnosis. It includes the basic principles, classification, sensing enhancement strategies, and applications of biosensors as well as their advantages, limitations, and future prospects, and thus it should be useful to academics as well as industry in the improvement and application of EC NA biosensors.

Abstract
Electrochemical DNA sensors offer unique opportunities for the sensitive detection of specific DNA interactions. In this work, a voltametric DNA sensor is proposed on the base of glassy carbon electrode modified with carbon black, adsorbed acridine yellow and DNA for highly sensitive determination of doxorubicin antitumor drug. The signal recorded by cyclic voltammetry was attributed to irreversible oxidation of the dye. Its value was altered by aggregation of the hydrophobic dye molecules on the carbon black particles. DNA molecules promote disaggregation of the dye and increased the signal. This effect was partially suppressed by doxorubicin compensate for the charge of DNA in the intercalation. Sensitivity of the signal toward DNA and doxorubicin was additionally increased by treatment of the layer with dimethylformamide. In optimal conditions, the linear range of doxorubicin concentrations determined was 0.1 pM–1.0 nM, and the detection limit was 0.07 pM. No influence of sulfonamide medicines and plasma electrolytes on the doxorubicin determination was shown. The DNA sensor was tested on two medications (doxorubicin-TEVA and doxorubicin-LANS) and showed recoveries of 102–105%. The DNA sensor developed can find applications in the determination of drug residues in blood and for the pharmacokinetics studies.

Abstract
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a novel, non-invasive sampling procedure that allows the obtaining of genetic material directly from environmental samples without any evidence of biological sources. The eDNA methodology can greatly benefit from coupling it to reliable, portable and cost-effective tools able to perform decentralized measurements directly at the site of need and in resource-limited settings. Herein, we report a simple method for the selective analysis of eDNA using a magneto-assay with electrochemical detection. The proposed method involves the polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) amplification of mitochondrial eDNA of parasitic Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), extracted from seawater samples. The eDNA sequence was targeted via sandwich hybridization onto magnetic beads and enzymatic labeling was performed to obtain an electroactive product measured by differential pulse voltammetry. Quality by Design (QbD), a recent concept of science- and risk-oriented quality paradigm, was used for the optimization of the different parameters of the assay. Response surface methodology and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to define the method operable design region. The optimized electrochemical magneto-assay attained a limit of detection of 2.9 amol μL-1 of the short synthetic sea louse DNA analogue (43 bp). In addition, robustness testing using a further experimental design approach was performed for monitoring eDNA amplicons. Seawater samples spiked with individuals of free-swimming L. salmonis copepodite stages and seawater collected from tanks with sea lice-infested fish were analyzed.

Abstract
The indiscriminate use and mismanagement of antibiotics over the last eight decades have led to one of the main challenges humanity will have to face in the next twenty years in terms of public health and economy, i.e., antimicrobial resistance. One of the key approaches to tackling antimicrobial resistance is clinical, livestock, and environmental surveillance applying methods capable of effectively identifying antimicrobial non-susceptibility as well as genes that promote resistance. Current clinical laboratory practices involve conventional culture-based antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods, taking over 24 h to find out which medication should be prescribed to treat the infection. Although there are techniques that provide rapid resistance detection, it is necessary to have new tools that are easy to operate, are robust, sensitive, specific, and inexpensive. Chemical sensors and biosensors are devices that could have the necessary characteristics for the rapid diagnosis of resistant microorganisms and could provide crucial information on the choice of antibiotic (or other antimicrobial medicines) to be administered. This review provides an overview on novel biosensing strategies for the phenotypic and genotypic determination of antimicrobial resistance and a perspective on the use of these tools in modern health-care and environmental surveillance.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Overexpressed or underexpressed as well as mutated nucleic acids have been implicated in many diseases. Therefore, nucleic acid tests (NATs) are extremely important. Inspired by intracellular DNA replication and RNA transcription, in vitro NATs have been extensively developed to improve the detection specificity, sensitivity, and simplicity. The principles of NATs can be in general classified into three categories: nucleic acid hybridization, thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification, and signal amplification. Driven by pressing needs in clinical diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, NATs have evolved to be a rapidly advancing field. During the past ten years, an explosive increase of research interest in both basic research and clinical translation has been witnessed. In this review, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the progress to analyze nucleic acids, use nucleic acids as recognition probes, construct detection devices based on nucleic acids, and utilize nucleic acids in clinical diagnosis and other important fields. We also discuss the new frontiers in the field and the challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
Dengue is one of the most commonly neglected tropical diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti infected with Dengue virus. This virus belongs to the gender Flavivirus and produces a non-structural protein 1 (NS1), which is an important biomarker found at high levels in blood in early disease stage. Therefore, this study focused on the development of an electrochemical biosensor for NS1 detection using DNA aptamers. Gold electrodes were co-immobilized with specific aptamers and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) to obtain a self-assembled monolayer. The molar ratio between aptamers and MCH was optimized and the platform characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Bovine serum albumin was added in NS1 solution to stabilize it and block the surface to avoid non-specific interactions. The biosensor performance was tested with NS1 protein serotype 4 (in phosphate saline buffer and human serum) and with a solution of serotype 1 in human serum. The results showed a sensitivity of 2.9%, 2.7% and 1.7% per decade, respectively, and low limit of detection (0.05, 0.022 and 0.025 ng/mL). The platform was also tested with Envelope protein as negative control. Furthermore, the aptamer sensor was able to detect NS1 in clinical range and it is a promising candidate for a new class for miniaturized point-of-care device for different Dengue serotypes.

Development of Electrochemical DNA Biosensor for Equine Hindgut Acidosis Detection. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21072319.

Abstract
The pH drop in the hindgut of the horse is caused by lactic acid-producing bacteria which are abundant when a horse’s feeding regime is excessively carbohydrate rich. This drop in pH below six causes hindgut acidosis and may lead to laminitis. Lactic acid-producing bacteria Streptococcus equinus and Mitsuokella jalaludinii have been found to produce high amounts of L-lactate and D-lactate, respectively. Early detection of increased levels of these bacteria could allow the horse owner to tailor the horse’s diet to avoid hindgut acidosis and subsequent laminitis. Therefore, 16s ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequences were identified and modified to obtain target single stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from these bacteria. Complementary single stranded DNAs were designed from the modified target sequences to form capture probes. Binding between capture probe and target single stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) in solution has been studied by gel electrophoresis. Among pairs of different capture probes and target single stranded DNA, hybridization of Streptococcus equinus capture probe 1 (SECP1) and Streptococcus equinus target 1 (SET1) was portrayed as gel electrophoresis. Adsorptive stripping voltammetry was utilized to study the binding of thiol modified SECP1 over gold on glass substrates and these studies showed a consistent binding signal of thiol modified SECP1 and their hybridization with SET1 over the gold working electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to examine the binding of thiol modified SECP1 on the gold working electrode and hybridization of thiol modified SECP1 with the target single stranded DNA. Both demonstrated the gold working electrode surface was modified with a capture probe layer and hybridization of the thiol bound ssDNA probe with target DNA was indicated. Therefore, the proposed electrochemical biosensor has the potential to be used for the detection of the non-synthetic bacterial DNA target responsible for equine hindgut acidosis.

Abstract
The Microcystin-Leucine-Arginine (MC-LR) is the most toxic and widely distributed microcystin, which originates from cyanobacteria produced by water eutrophication. The MC-LR has deleterious effects on the aquatic lives and agriculture, and this highly toxic chemical could severely endanger human health when the polluted food was intaken. Therefore, the monitoring of MC-LR is of vital importance in the fields including environment, food, and public health. Utilizing the complementary base pairing between DNA molecules, DNA nanotechnology can realize the programmable and predictable regulation of DNA molecules. In analytical applications, DNA nanotechnology can be used to detect targets via target-induced conformation change and the nano-assemblies of nucleic acids. Compared with the conventional analytical technologies, DNA nanotechnology has the advantages of sensitive, versatile, and high potential in real-time and on-site applications. According to the molecular basis for recognizing MC-LR, the strategies of applying DNA nanotechnology in the MC-LR monitoring are divided into two categories in this review: DNA as a recognition element and DNA-assisted signal processing. This paper introduces state-of-the-art analytical methods for the detection of MC-LR based on DNA nanotechnology and provides critical perspectives on the challenges and development in this field.

Abstract
One-pot synthesis of novel hydrogel-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs), with only a single-phase monomer mixture, was used to eliminate surface heterogeneity and generate reproducible electroconvective microvortices in the over-limiting region of the current-voltage characteristic (CVC) curves. Diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DDA) was used as the main component to provide the cation charge groups, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate (EGDMA) were used as the auxiliary structure monomers. The uniform membrane structure allowed reproducible and sensitive DNA detection and quantification, as probe-target surface complexes can gate the ion flux and produce large voltage shifts in the over-limiting region. Suppressed membrane curvature due to controlled swelling is a crucial part to avoid the reduction of depletion region for maintaining the influence of target gene hybridization. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy verified the synthesized membrane structure, with a residual vinyl group that allows easy carboxylation via additional photografting reaction. Consequently, a significantly higher DNA probe functionalization efficiency is obtained on the homogeneous AEMs, evidenced by the increasing nitrogen element content and bonding via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The DDA content was optimized to provide a sufficient coulomb force between AEM and nucleic acid backbone to promote the specific binding efficiency but without high dimensional swelling which might change the surface geometry and restrict the voltage shifting for sensing in the over-limiting region, and the optimal DDA/HEMA ratio was found to be 4/10. The synthesized AEM sensor for recombinant 35S promoter sequence identification exhibited a reproducible calibration standard curve with dynamic range between 30 fM and 1 μM and high selectivity with only 0.01 V shift for 1 μM nontarget oligo.

Abstract
The occurrence of pharmaceutical residues in surface water is raising environmental concern. To accompany the evolution of measures for natural resources protection, sensing methods enabling sensitive and rapid water quality monitoring are needed. We recently managed the parallelization of the Tethered Particle Motion (TPM), a single molecule technique, sensitive to the conformational changes of DNA. Here, we investigate the capacity of high throughput TPM (htTPM) to detect drugs that intercalate into DNA. As a proof-of-concept we analyze the htTPM signal for two DNA intercalating dyes, namely, YOYO-1 and SYTOX orange. The efficient detection of intercalating drugs is then demonstrated with doxorubicin. We further evaluate the possibility to detect carbamazepine, an antiepileptic massively prescribed and persistent in water, which had been described to interact with DNA through intercalation. Our results corroborated by other techniques show that, in fact, carbamazepine is not a DNA intercalator. The comparison of the results obtained with different aqueous buffers and solutions allows us to identify optimal conditions for the monitoring of intercalation compounds by htTPM.

Abstract
A novel label-free photoelectrochemical biosensing method for highly sensitive and specific detection of DNA hybridization using a CdS quantum dot (QD)-dendrimer nanocomposite is presented. A molecular beacon (MB) was assembled on a gold-nanoparticle-modified indium tin oxide electrode surface. Hybridization to a complementary target DNA disrupts the stem-loop structure of the MB, which was afterward labeled with the QD-dendrimer nanocomposite. The modified indium tin oxide electrode showed a stable anodic photocurrent response at 300 mV (vs Ag/AgCl) to light excitation at 410 nm in the presence of 0.1 M ascorbic acid as an electron donor. The protocol developed integrates the specificity of an MB for molecular recognition and the advantages of gold nanoparticles for increasing the loading capacity of the MB on the electrode surface and accelerating the electron transfer. Moreover, the photocurrent was greatly enhanced because of the high loading of QDs by the dendrimer, which eliminated the surface defects of CdS QDs and prevented recombination of their photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Under the optimal conditions, a linear relationship between the increase of photocurrent and target DNA concentration was obtained in the range from 1 fM to 0.1 nM, with a detection limit of 0.5 fM. The sequence-specificity experiment showed that one or three mismatches of DNA bases could be discriminated. This photoelectrochemical method is a prospective technique for DNA hybridization detection because of its great advantages: label-free, high sensitivity and specificity, low cost, and easy fabrication. This could create a new platform for the application of CdS QD-dendrimer nanocomposites in photoelectrochemical bioanalysis. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Despite the increasing concern regarding bisphenol A (BPA) as an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) upon environmental or human exposure, development of simple method for BPA detection has been hampered, due to the lack of a stable bioreceptor and signal generator. Here, we report a nucleic acid-based rapid and sensitive method for BPA detection, which constitutes a ssDNA aptamer and ssDNAzyme. When the peroxidase-like DNAzyme sequence was split into two parts (one incorporated into the anti-BPA aptamer as a target recognition element and the other into the complementary sequence as a bait), the presence of BPA hindered the association of the split DNA sequence, leading to a reduced signal in the DNAzyme-triggered chemiluminescence (CL). Thus, this NA-based CL measurement permitted the detection of BPA at as low as 5 nM with a broad dynamic range of five orders and with high selectivity towards BPA over other EDCs with structural similarity. With the development of aptamers, our detection method is expected to facilitate studies to monitor EDCs with high simplicity and sensitivity in the field of environmental science.

Abstract
Herein, a catalytic chemosensing assay (CCA), based on a bimetallic complex, [RuII (bpy)2 (CN)2 ]2 (CuI I)2 (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine), is described. This complex integrates a task-specific catalyst (CuI -catalyst) and a signaling unit ([RuII (bpy)2 (CN)2 ]) to specifically hydrolyze methyl parathion, a highly toxic organophosphate (OP) pesticide. The bimetallic complex catalyzed the hydrolysis of the phosphate ester to generate o,o-dimethyl thiophosphate (DTP) anion and 4-nitrophenolate. Intrinsically, 4-nitrophenolate absorbed UV/Vis light at λmax =400 nm, creating the first level of the chemosensing signal. DTP interacted with the original complex to displace the chromophore, [RuII (bpy)2 (CN)2 ], which was monitored by spectrofluorometry; this was classified as the second level of chemosensing signal. By integrating both spectroscopic and spectrofluorometric signals with a simple AND logic gate, only methyl parathion was able to provide a positive response. Other aromatic and aliphatic OP pesticides (diazinon, fenthion, meviphos, terbufos, and phosalone) and 4-nitrophenyl acetate provided negative responses. Furthermore, owing to the metal-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl parathion, the CCA system led to the detoxification of the pesticide. The CCA system also demonstrated its catalytic chemosensing properties in the detection of methyl parathion in real samples, including tap water, river water, and underground water.

Abstract
Sensors have been extensively used owing to multiple advantages, including exceptional sensing performance, user-friendly operation, fast response, high sensitivity and specificity, portability, and real-time analysis. In recent years, efforts in sensor realm have expanded promptly, and it has already presented a broad range of applications in the fields of medical, pharmaceutical and environmental applications, food safety, and homeland security. In particular, molecularly imprinted polymer based sensors have created a fascinating horizon for surface modification techniques by forming specific recognition cavities for template molecules in the polymeric matrix. This method ensures a broad range of versatility to imprint a variety of biomolecules with different size, three dimensional structure, physical and chemical features. In contrast to complex and time-consuming laboratory surface modification methods, molecular imprinting offers a rapid, sensitive, inexpensive, easy-to-use, and highly selective approaches for sensing, and especially for the applications of diagnosis, screening, and theranostics. Due to its physical and chemical robustness, high stability, low-cost, and reusability features, molecularly imprinted polymer based sensors have become very attractive modalities for such applications with a sensitivity of minute structural changes in the structure of biomolecules. This review aims at discussing the principle of molecular imprinting method, the integration of molecularly imprinted polymers with sensing tools, the recent advances and strategies in molecular imprinting methodologies, their applications in medical, and future outlook on this concept.

Abstract
Biosensors are powerful diagnostic tools defined as having a biorecognition element for analyte specificity and a transducer for a quantifiable signal. There are a variety of different biorecognition elements, each with unique characteristics. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each biorecognition element and their influence on overall biosensor performance is crucial in the planning stages to promote the success of novel biosensor development. Therefore, this review will focus on selecting the optimal biorecognition element in the preliminary design phase for novel biosensors. Included is a review of the typical characteristics and binding mechanisms of various biorecognition elements, and how they relate to biosensor performance characteristics, specifically sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, and reusability. The goal is to point toward language needed to improve the design and development of biosensors toward clinical success.

Abstract
A portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument was tested for the first time for the detection of oligonucleotide sequences derived from the 16S rRNA gene of Oleispira antarctica RB-8, a bioindicator species of marine oil contamination, using morpholino-functionalized sensor surfaces. We evaluated the stability and specificity of morpholino coated sensor surfaces and tested two signal amplification regimes: (1) sequential injection of sample followed by magnetic bead amplifier and (2) a single injection of magnetic bead captured oligo. We found that the sensor surfaces could be regenerated for at least 85 consecutive sample injections without significant loss of signal intensity. Regarding specificity, the assay clearly differentiated analytes with only one or two mismatches. Signal intensities of mismatch oligos were lower than the exact match target at identical concentrations down to 200 nM, in standard phosphate buffered saline with 0.1 % Tween-20 added. Signal amplification was achieved with both strategies; however, significantly higher response was observed with the sequential approach (up to 16-fold), where first the binding of biotin-probe-labeled target oligo took place on the sensor surface, followed by the binding of the streptavidin magnetic beads onto the immobilized targets. Our experiments so far indicate that a simple coating procedure in combination with a relatively cost-efficient magnetic-bead-based signal amplification will provide robust SPR based nucleic acid sensing down to 0.5 nM of a 45-nucleotide long oligo target (7.2 ng/mL).

Abstract
The progress in modern agricultural practices could not have been realized without the large-scale contribution of assorted pesticides (e.g., organophosphates and nonorganophosphates). Precise tracking of these chemicals has become very important for safeguarding the environment and food resources owing to their very high toxicity. Hence, the development of sensitive and convenient sensors for the on-site detection of pesticides is imperative to overcome practical limitations encountered in conventional methodologies, which require skilled manpower at the expense of high cost and low portability. In this regard, the role of novel, advanced functional materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has drawn great interest as an alternative for conventional sensory systems because of their numerous advantages over other nanomaterials. This review was organized to address the recent advances in applications of MOFs for sensing various pesticides because of their tailorable optical and electrical characteristics. It also provides in-depth comparison of the performance of MOFs with other nanomaterial sensing platforms. Further, we discuss the present challenges (e.g., potential bias due to instability under certain conditions, variations in the diffusion rate of the pesticide, chemical interferences, and the precise measurement of luminesce quenching) in developing robust and sensitive sensors by using tailored porosity, functionalities, and better framework stability.

Abstract
Aptamer-based sensors have been intensively investigated as potential analytical tools in clinical analysis providing the desired portability, fast response, sensitivity, and specificity, in addition to lower cost and simplicity versus conventional methods. The aim of this review, without pretending to be exhaustive, is to give the readers an overview of recent important achievements about electrochemical, electrochemiluminescence, and photoelectrochemical aptasensors for the protein biomarker determination, mainly cancer related biomarkers, by selected recent publications. Special emphasis is placed on nanostructured-based aptasensors, which show a substantial improvement of the analytical performances.

Abstract
A growing understanding of the fundamental role of proteins in diseases has advanced the development of quantitative protein assays in the medical field. Current techniques for protein analysis include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, and immunohistochemistry. However, many of these conventional strategies require specialized training, expensive antibodies, or sophisticated equipment, raising assay costs and limiting their application to laboratory analysis. Here, we present the application of a "chemical nose" type colorimetric gold nanoparticle sensor for detection, quantification, and identification of single proteins, protein mixtures, and proteins within the complex environment of human serum. The unique interactions between a mixture of two different gold nanoparticle morphologies (spherical and branched) and six separate proteins (bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, immunoglobulin G, fibrinogen, lysozyme, and hemoglobin) generated distinguishable protein- and concentration-dependent absorption spectra, even at nanomolar concentrations. Furthermore, we show that this response is sensitive to the relative abundance of different proteins in solution, permitting analysis of protein mixtures. Finally, we demonstrate the ability to distinguish human serum samples with and without a clinically relevant two-fold increase in immunoglobulin G, without the use of expensive reagents or complicated sample processing.
