Abstract
In this study, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were assembled on the surface of ethylene imine polymer (PEI)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) electrospun nanofiber membranes for the point-of-care testing (POCT) of thiodiglycol (TDG), a sulfur mustard poisoning metabolic marker, using concentrated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the signal reporting units. The MIPs/PEI/PVA nanofiber membranes could capture TDG specifically through the recognition interaction between MIPs and TDG. Then, AuNPs were adsorbed onto the MIPs/PEI/PVA nanofiber membranes through the Au-S interaction between TDG and AuNPs to produce a visible red color. In order to improve the sensitivity, the silver-enhanced solutions were used to deepen the color of the nanofiber membranes and the software Image J was used to read the gray value as the signal response for subsequent analysis. There was a good linear relationship between the color change of the MIPs/PEI/PVA nanofiber membranes and the TDG concentration from 0.1 ng mL-1 to 1.0 μg mL-1, and the limit of detection was 38 pg mL-1. This method was applied for the selective detection of TDG in urine, showing great potential for the clinical diagnosis of mustard gas poisoning.

Abstract
DNA molecular machines are widely used in the fields of biosensors and biological detection. Among them, DNA walkers have attracted much attention due to their simple design and controllability. Herein, we attempt to develop a DNA walker triggered exponential amplification method and explore its application. The AuNP probes in the DNA walker are constructed by a freezing technology, instead of the time-consuming and complex synthesis process of the traditional method. Meanwhile, after the "recognition-cleavage-relative motion" cycle of this DNA walker reaction, the exponential amplification reaction is initiated, and leads to the fluorescence recovery of the molecular beacon. Taking ricin as a target, this new method shows a limit of detection of 2.25 pM by selecting aptamers with strong binding affinity, and exhibits a wide detection range, satisfactory specificity, and excellent stability in practical application. Therefore, our method provides a universal sensing platform and has great prospects in the fields of biosensors, food safety detection, and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
The expression level of nucleic acids is closely related to a variety of diseases. Herein, a highly sensitive detection of a nucleic acid based on a CoOOH-luminol chemiluminescence (CL) system without the addition of oxidants was proposed by the toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR) and the liposome dual signal amplification strategy with the hybrid probe formed by linking soft nanoballs (SNBs) to magnetic beads (MBs) through DNA hybridization. Inspired by the free radical scavenging effect of the as-prepared carbon dots (CDs), CDs were successfully employed to quench the CL intensity of the CoOOH-luminol system. And the CDs were further encapsulated into liposomes to construct SNBs, which avoided the complex modification of CDs to maintain their original properties, as well as loaded a large number of CDs to scavenge free radicals to achieve signal amplification. Based on this, target DNA (tDNA) could be sensitively detected based on the reduced CL intensity, which achieved a dynamic detection range from 0.1 nM to 20 nM with a limit of detection as low as 59 pM (3σ/k), showing amazing promise in the biosensing of nucleic acid biomarkers.

Abstract
There is a constant drive for affordable point-of-care testing (POCT) technologies for the detection of infectious human diseases. Herein, we report a simple platform for DNA detection that takes advantage of four techniques: commercially available pregnancy test strips (PTS), amplicon generation via loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), toehold-mediated strand displacement, and noncovalent immobilization of DNA on paper surface with DNA nanoflowers. This simple, separation-free platform is highly specific, as demonstrated with the detection of rtL180M, a single-nucleotide polymorphism observed in hepatitis B virus (HBV) associated with antiviral drug resistance. It is very sensitive, capable of detecting the targeted mutation at 2 copies μL-1 . It is able to correctly identify the unmutated and rtL180M genome types of HBV in clinical samples. Given its wide adaptability, we expect this platform can be easily modified for the detection of genetic variations associated with various pathogens and human diseases.

Abstract
It is an advantageous way to quickly identify the toxicity of Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) by detecting the transcription product of the atxA gene. Herein, a novel ultrasensitive ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor with competitive mechanism and double amplified signal ways was proposed for detecting the atxA mRNA. The K2S2O8 was used as cathodic emitter and silver metal-organic gels (AgMOG) was used as ECL enhancer. The AgMOG could accelerate the electro-catalytic reduction of S2O82- to SO4˙-, which reacted with dissolved oxygen, resulting in strong cathodic ECL. Meanwhile, luminol was encapsulated in liposome as anodic amplified signal labels and the luminol anion radical also reacted with dissolved oxygen to create the anodic ECL emission. We immobilized luminol-encapsulated liposomes on the surface of AgMOG through the hybridization of DNA and mRNA. This would provide a competitive mechanism involving dissolved oxygen between K2S2O8 and luminol. Benefiting from the competitive mechanism and amplified signal ways, this ratiometric biosensor achieved a wide linear relationship range from 10 to 300 fM with a low limit of detection (8.13 fM). Considering the accessible operation, favorable performance, and high universality of this strategy, this work may be used to analyze other mRNAs of bacteria.
