Abstract
The world today is witnessing the significant role and huge demand for molecular detection and screening in healthcare and medical diagnosis, especially during the outbreak of COVID-19. Surface-enhanced spectroscopy techniques, including Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Infrared Absorption (SEIRA), provide lattice and molecular vibrational fingerprint information which is directly linked to the molecular constituents, chemical bonds, and configuration. These properties make them an unambiguous, nondestructive, and label-free toolkit for molecular diagnostics and screening. However, new issues in molecular diagnostics, such as increasing molecular species, faster spread of viruses, and higher requirements for detection accuracy and sensitivity, have brought great challenges to detection technology. Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) techniques show promising potential in empowering SERS and SEIRA with rapid analysis and automatic data processing to jointly tackle the challenge. This review introduces the combination of ML and SERS/SEIRA by investigating how ML algorithms can be beneficial to SERS/SEIRA, discussing the general process of combining ML and SEIRA/SERS, highlighting the molecular diagnostics and screening applications based on ML-combined SEIRA/SERS, and providing perspectives on the future development of ML-integrated SEIRA/SERS. In general, this review offers comprehensive knowledge about the recent advances and the future outlook regarding ML-integrated SEIRA/SERS for molecular diagnostics and screening.

Abstract
Future precision medicine will be undoubtedly sustained by the detection of validated biomarkers that enable a precise classification of patients based on their predicted disease risk, prognosis, and response to a specific treatment. Up to now, genomics, transcriptomics, and immunohistochemistry have been the main clinically amenable tools at hand for identifying key diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers. However, other molecular strategies, including metabolomics, are still in their infancy and require the development of new biomarker detection technologies, toward routine implementation into clinical diagnosis. In this context, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has been recognized as a promising technology for clinical monitoring thanks to its high sensitivity and label-free operation, which should help accelerate the discovery of biomarkers and their corresponding screening in a simpler, faster, and less-expensive manner. Many studies have demonstrated the excellent performance of SERS in biomedical applications. However, such studies have also revealed several variables that should be considered for accurate SERS monitoring, in particular, when the signal is collected from biological sources (tissues, cells or biofluids). This Perspective is aimed at piecing together the puzzle of SERS in biomarker monitoring, with a view on future challenges and implications. We address the most relevant requirements of plasmonic substrates for biomedical applications, as well as the implementation of tools from artificial intelligence or biotechnology to guide the development of highly versatile sensors.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures hold great promise for various applications due to their remarkable properties, including programmable assembly, nanometric positional precision, and dynamic structural control. The past few decades have seen the development of various kinds of DNA nanostructures that can be employed as useful tools in fields such as chemistry, materials, biology, and medicine. Aptamers are short single-stranded nucleic acids that bind to specific targets with excellent selectivity and high affinity and play critical roles in molecular recognition. Recently, many attempts have been made to integrate aptamers with DNA nanostructures for a range of biological applications. This review starts with an introduction to the features of aptamer-functionalized DNA nanostructures. The discussion then focuses on recent progress (particularly during the last five years) in the applications of these nanostructures in areas such as biosensing, bioimaging, cancer therapy, and biophysics. Finally, challenges involved in the practical application of aptamer-functionalized DNA nanostructures are discussed, and perspectives on future directions for research into and applications of aptamer-functionalized DNA nanostructures are provided.

Abstract
The combination of nanotechnology, biology, and bioengineering greatly improved the developments of nanomaterials with unique functions and properties. Biomolecules as the nanoscale building blocks play very important roles for the final formation of functional nanostructures. Many kinds of novel nanostructures have been created by using the bioinspired self-assembly and subsequent binding with various nanoparticles. In this review, we summarized the studies on the fabrications and sensor applications of biomimetic nanostructures. The strategies for creating different bottom-up nanostructures by using biomolecules like DNA, protein, peptide, and virus, as well as microorganisms like bacteria and plant leaf are introduced. In addition, the potential applications of the synthesized biomimetic nanostructures for colorimetry, fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, electrical resistance, electrochemistry, and quartz crystal microbalance sensors are presented. This review will promote the understanding of relationships between biomolecules/microorganisms and functional nanomaterials in one way, and in another way it will guide the design and synthesis of biomimetic nanomaterials with unique properties in the future.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide-modified nanoparticle conjugates show highly promising potential for SERS-based DNA detection. However, it remains challenging to carry out the SERS-based DNA detection in aqueous solutions directly using oligonucleotide-modified nanoparticles, because the Raman reporters would exhibit lower signals when they are dispersed in aqueous solutions than laid on "dry" metal nanoparticles. Here, we synthesized stable oligonucleotide-modified Ag nanoprism conjugates, and performed SERS-based DNA detection in aqueous solution directly by using such conjugates in combination with Raman reporter-labeled, oligonucleotide-modified gold nanoparticles. The experimental results indicate that this SERS-based DNA detection approach exhibited a good linear correlation between SERS signal intensity and the logarithm of target DNA concentration ranging from 10(-11)∼10(-8) M. This sensitivity is comparable to those SERS-based DNA detection approaches with the "dry" process. Additionally, a similar correlation could also be observed in duplex target DNA detection by SERS hybrid probes. Our results suggest that the oligonucleotide-modified Ag nanoprisms may be developed as a powerful SERS-based DNA detection tool.

Abstract
Self-assembly of thiol-modified oligonucleotides on Au films has great importance for biosensor applications. Prior to the self-assembly, a piranha treatment (PT) is commonly used to clean the Au surface. Here we report that near-surface oxidized sulfur modifications on Au thin films by PT for longer than 60 s have serious effects on the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation of thiol-modified single-stranded thrombin binding aptamer (s-TBA), and a PT time of 10-30 s is optimal for s-TBA SAM formation. These results have important implication to SAM formation of biomolecules, especially for the thiol-modified ones where a careful consideration of this key step could significantly enhance the SAM formation and biosensor performance.
