Abstract
Patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) often have an unfavorable prognosis because of its insidious nature, low resectability rate, and poor response to anticancer drugs and radiotherapy, which makes early detection and treatment difficult. At present, CCA has a five-year overall survival rate (OS) of only 5%, despite advances in therapies. New an increasing number of evidence suggests that nanoplatforms may play a crucial role in enhancing the pharmacological effects and in reducing both short- and long-term side effects of cancer treatment. This document reviews the advantages and shortcomings of nanoparticles such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticle,inorganic nanoparticle, nano-metals and nano-alloys, carbon dots, nano-micelles, dendrimer, nano-capsule, bio-Nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of CCA and discuss the current challenges in of nanoplatforms for CCA.

Abstract
DNA methylation occurs when a methyl group is added to a cytosine (C) residue's fifth carbon atom, forming 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). Cancer genomes have a distinct methylation landscape (Methylscape), which could be used as a universal cancer biomarker. This study developed a simple, low-cost, and straightforward Methylscape sensing platform using cysteamine-decorated gold nanoparticles (Cyst/AuNPs), in which the sensing principle is based on methylation-dependent DNA solvation. Normal and cancer DNAs have distinct methylation profiles; thus, they can be distinguished by observing the dispersion of Cyst/AuNPs adsorbed on these DNA aggregates in MgCl2 solution. After optimising the MgCl2, Cyst/AuNPs, DNA concentration, and incubation time, the optimised conditions were used for leukemia screening, by comparing the relative absorbance (ΔA 650/525). Following the DNA extraction from actual blood samples, this sensor demonstrated effective leukemia screening in 15 minutes with high sensitivity, achieving 95.3% accuracy based on the measurement by an optical spectrophotometer. To further develop for practical realisation, a smartphone assisted by machine learning was used to screen cancer patients, achieving 90.0% accuracy in leukemia screening. This sensing platform can be applied not only for leukemia screening but also for other cancers associated with epigenetic modification.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is continuously evolving. Although several vaccines were approved, this pandemic is still a major threat to public life. Till date, no established therapies are available against SARS-CoV-2. Peptide inhibitors hold great promise for this viral pathogen due to their efficacy, safety, and specificity. In this study, seventeen antiviral peptides which were known to inhibit SARS-CoV-1 are collected and computationally screened against heptad repeat 1 (HR1) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S2). Out of 17 peptides, Fp13 and Fp14 showed better binding affinity toward HR1 compared to a control peptide EK1 (a modified pan-coronavirus fusion inhibitor) in molecular docking. To explore the time-dependent interactions of the fusion peptide with HR1, molecular dynamics simulation was performed incorporating lipid membrane. During 100 ns MD simulation, structural and energy parameters of Fp13-HR1 and Fp14-HR1 complexes demonstrated lower fluctuations compared to the control EK1-HR1 complex. Furthermore, principal component analysis and free energy landscape study revealed that these two peptides (Fp13 and Fp14) strongly bind to the HR1 with higher affinity than that of control EK1. Tyr917, Asn919, Gln926, lys933, and Gln949 residues in HR1 protein were found to be crucial residues for peptide interaction. Notably, Fp13, Fp14 showed reasonably better binding free energy and hydrogen bond contribution than that of EK1. Taken together, Fp13 and Fp14 peptides may be highly specific for HR1 which can potentially prevent the formation of the fusion core and could be further developed as therapeutics for treatment or prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Aptamers are a class of bioreceptors intensively used in current analytical tools dedicated to molecular diagnostics due to their ability to perform large structural reorganization upon target binding. However, there is a lack of methodologies allowing us to rationalize their structure in order to improve the transduction efficiency in aptamer sensors. We choose here, as a model system, a three-strand DNA structure as the probe, composed of two DNA strands anchored on a gold surface and partially hybridized with an aptamer sequence sensitive to ampicillin (AMP). The DNA structure has been designed to show strong structural change upon AMP binding to its aptamer. Using a set of computational techniques including molecular dynamics simulations, we deeply investigated the structure change upon analyte binding, taking into account the grafting on the surface. Original analyses of ion distributions along the trajectories unveil a distinct pattern between both states which can be related to changes in capacitance of the interface between these states. To our knowledge, this work demonstrates the ability of computational investigations for the first time to drive, in silico, the design of aptasensors.

Abstract
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification involving the transfer of a methyl group to cytosine residues of a DNA molecule. Altered DNA methylation of certain genes is associated with several diseases including cancer. Nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO), offer great potential as sensing elements for methylated DNA (mDNA) detection due to their distinct properties. Understanding molecular interactions between mDNA and GO can make provision for developing a universal cancer screening test. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) calculation have been employed for investigating their detailed macro- and microscale interactions. Based upon the MD simulation, different adsorption levels of methylated and unmethylated DNAs on GO were represented by a contacting surface area (CSA), which depends on surrounding conditions (in water or a MgCl2 solution). In water, the CSAs of the methylated and unmethylated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) were ≈13 and ≈5 nm2, respectively, representing more preferable adsorption on GO for the methylated ssDNA. In the presence of divalent ions (Mg2+), the CSAs of both methylated and unmethylated DNA molecules were ≈8 nm2, suggesting that there was no significant difference in adsorption in a saline solution. To reveal the electrical property of GO covered by either methylated or unmethylated DNA, its electronic structure was investigated by the DFT calculation. The energy gaps of pristine graphene (pG) and GO adsorbed by 5-methylcytosine (5mC) were 1.6 and 12.9 meV, respectively, while cytosine adsorption resulted in lower energy gaps (1.2 meV for pG and 9.5 meV for GO). When comparing methylated DNA-covered GO with that covered with unmethylated DNA, remarkable differences in electrical conductivity, which were caused by the electronic structure of GO, were observed. These findings will provide a new route for an efficient detection method of DNA methylation, which can further be used to develop a universal cancer test.

Abstract
Many important human diseases, and especially cancer, have been related to the overproduction of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG). This molecule is a product of oxidative stress processes over nucleophilic bases in DNA. In this work, an aptasensor for the rapid, selective and accurate detection of this oncomarker is presented. The aptasensor consists of a nanoporous anodic alumina material loaded with a dye and is functionalized with an aptamer-based "molecular gate". In the presence of target 8-oxo-dG, the capping aptamer displaces from the surface due to the high affinity of the analyte with the capping aptamer, thus inducing delivery of the preloaded fluorescent dye. In contrast, in the absence of 8-oxo-dG, a poor payload delivery is accomplished. This aptamer-based nanodevice has great sensitivity for 8-oxo-dG, resulting in a LOD of 1 nM and a detection time of ca. 60 min. Moreover, the aptasensor is able to accurately detect 8-oxo-dG in unmodified urine and serum without pre-concentration treatments. This diagnostic tool is validated in a set of 38 urine and serum samples from patients diagnosed of colorectal cancer and control patients. These samples are also analyzed using a standardized and specific ELISA kit. The aptasensor displays excellent sensitivity (95.83/100%) and specificity (80/100%) for 8-oxo-dG detection in serum and urine samples, respectively. Our results may serve as a basis for the development of generalized fluorogenic diagnostic platforms for the easy diagnosis of cancer in biofluids as well as for monitoring therapeutic treatments and detection of relapses without the use of expensive equipment or trained personnel.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), an oxidized form of guanosine residues, is a critical biomarker for various cancers. Herein, a sensitive citrate-capped gold nanoparticle-based aptasensor device has been developed for the detection of 8-oxo-dG in urine. We previously designed a 38-nt anti-8-oxo-dG-aptamer by a computer simulation and the experimental validation has been performed in the present work. The analytical performance of the 38-nt aptamer from the in silico design was compared with the parent 66-nt aptamer. This assay is based on the principle of salt-induced aggregation of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles. Based on this sensing mechanism, the difference between the absorbance in the presence and absence of 8-oxo-dG at λ = 525 nm (ΔA525) increased linearly as a function of 8-oxo-dG concentrations in the ranges of 10-100 and 15-100 nM for 38-nt and 66-nt aptasensors, respectively. This method can provide detection limits of 6.4 nM for 8-oxo-dG in the 38-nt aptasensor and 13.2 nM in the 66-nt aptasensor. Similar to the 66-nt aptamer, the shortened aptamer, 38-nt long, can provide high sensitivity and selectivity with rapid detection time. In addition, using the 38-nt aptamer as a recognition component in the developed portable low-cost device showed high sensitivity in the detection range of 15-100 nM with a detection limit of 12.9 nM, which is much lower than the threshold value (280 nM) for normal human urine. This easy-to-use device could effectively and economically be utilized for monitoring 8-oxo-dG in real urine samples and potentially serve as a prototype for a commercial device.

Abstract
Due to their relative synthetic and chemical simplicity compared to antibodies, aptamers afford enhanced stability and functionality for the detection of environmental contaminants and for use in environmental monitoring. Furthermore, nucleic acid aptamers can be selected for toxic targets which may prove difficult for antibody development. Of particular relevance, aptamers have been selected and used to develop biosensors for environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, small-molecule agricultural toxins, and water-borne bacterial pathogens. This review will focus on recent aptamer-based developments for the detection of diverse environmental contaminants. Within this domain, aptamers have been combined with other technologies to develop biosensors with various signal outputs. The goal of much of this work is to develop cost-effective, user-friendly detection methods that can complement or replace traditional environmental monitoring strategies. This review will highlight recent examples in this area. Additionally, with innovative developments such as wearable devices, sentinel materials, and lab-on-a-chip designs, there exists significant potential for the development of multifunctional aptamer-based biosensors for environmental monitoring. Examples of these technologies will also be highlighted. Finally, a critical perspective on the field, and thoughts on future research directions will be offered.
