Abstract
Multiplex biosensors are highly sought-after tools in disease diagnosis. This technique involves the simultaneous sensing of multiple biomarkers, whose levels and ratios can provide a more comprehensive assessment of disease conditions compared to single biomarker detection. In most diseases like cancer due to its complexity, several biomarkers are involved in their occurrence. On the other hand, a single biomarker may be implicated in various diseases. Multiplex sensing employs various techniques, such as optical, electrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence methods. This comprehensive review focuses on optical multiplex sensing techniques, including surface plasmon resonance, localized surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, chemiluminescence, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and photonic crystal sensors. The review delves into their mechanisms, materials utilized, and strategies for biomarker detection.

Abstract
There has been an increasing demand for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in one sample. Microbead-based platforms have been developed for multiplexed assays. However, most of the microbeads are made of non-biodegradable synthetic polymers, leading to environmental and human health concerns. In this study, we developed an environmentally friendly dextran microbeads as a new type of multi-analyte assay platform. Biodegradable dextran was utilized as the primary material. Highly uniform magnetic dextran microspheres were successfully synthesized using the Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification technique. To enhance the amount of surface functional groups for ligand conjugation, we coated the dextran microbeads with a layer of dendrimers via a simple electrostatic adsorption process. Subsequently, a unique and efficient click chemistry coupling technique was developed for the fluorescence encoding of the microspheres, enabling multiplexed detection. The dextran microbeads were tested for 3-plex cytokine analysis, and exhibited excellent biocompatibility, stable coding signals, low background noise and high sensitivity.

Abstract
Photonic crystal is a kind of device which can convert a chemical signal into an optical signal and is commonly used in sensing and detection. The maximum reflection wavelength representing the photonic band gap has been the most common converting mode in analytical usage which however discard too much valuable chemical information. In this work, we established two additional modes for mining chemical information more deeply in time and space as the sensing information to distinguish analytes. They are respectively based on dynamic analysis of the spectrum shift and the distinction of the RGB partition block value information of optical image. The molecular imprinting sensing mechanism worked well on three organophosphorus compounds to the detection limit of 10-4 M. The principle component analysis of above data did present a good discrimination of organophosphorus analytes from interfering counter anions to a low detection limit of 10-6 M. To make the detection more convenient and to achieve real-time on-site detection, we have designed the portable photonic crystal signal acquisition kit. Together with the mobile terminal, the kit connects the optical image collected on site, the algorithm working on the cloud and the input/output interactive interface of users in detection. The methods were constructed on an example made of a three-dimensional molecularly imprinted photonic crystal hydrogels sensing unit targeting on organo-phosphides.

Abstract
Nanoscale fluorescence emitters are efficient for measuring biomolecular interactions, but their utility for applications requiring single-unit observations is constrained by the need for large numerical aperture objectives, fluorescence intermittency, and poor photon collection efficiency resulting from omnidirectional emission. Photonic crystal (PC) structures hold promise to address the aforementioned challenges in fluorescence enhancement. In this review, we provide a broad overview of PCs by explaining their structures, design strategies, fabrication techniques, and sensing principles. Furthermore, we discuss recent applications of PC-enhanced fluorescence-based biosensors incorporated with emerging technologies, including nucleic acids sensing, protein detection, and steroid monitoring. Finally, we discuss current challenges associated with PC-enhanced fluorescence and provide an outlook for fluorescence enhancement with photonic-plasmonics coupling and their promise for point-of-care biosensing as well monitoring analytes of biological and environmental relevance. The review presents the transdisciplinary applications of PCs in the broad arena of fluorescence spectroscopy with broad applications in photo-plasmonics, life science research, materials chemistry, cancer diagnostics, and internet of things.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is one of the leading causes of mortality globally with an overall 5-year survival of 47%. The predominant subtype of OvCa is epithelial carcinoma, which can be highly aggressive. This review launches with a summary of the clinical features of OvCa, including staging and current techniques for diagnosis and therapy. Further, the important role of proteases in OvCa progression and dissemination is described. Proteases contribute to tumor angiogenesis, remodeling of extracellular matrix, migration and invasion, major processes in OvCa pathology. Multiple proteases, such as metalloproteinases, trypsin, cathepsin and others, are overexpressed in the tumor tissue. Presence of these catabolic enzymes in OvCa tissue can be exploited for improving early diagnosis and therapeutic options in advanced cases. Nanomedicine, being on the interface of molecular and cellular scales, can be designed to be activated by proteases in the OvCa microenvironment. Various types of protease-enabled nanomedicines are described and the studies that focus on their diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic potential are reviewed.
