Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is increasingly used as a sensitive bioanalytical tool for detection of variety of analytes ranging from viruses and bacteria to cancer biomarkers and toxins, etc. This comprehensive review describes principles of operation and compares the performance of immunoassays and aptamer assays with Surface Enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection to each other and to some other bioassay methods, including ELISA and fluorescence assays. Both immuno- and aptamer-based assays are categorized into assay on solid substrates, assays with magnetic nanoparticles and assays in laminar flow or/and strip assays. The best performing and recent examples of assays in each category are described in the text and illustrated in the figures. The average performance, particularly, limit of detection (LOD) for each of those methods reflected in 9 tables of the manuscript and average LODs are calculated and compared. We found out that, on average, there is some advantage in terms of LOD for SERS immunoassays (0.5 pM median LOD of 88 papers) vs SERS aptamer-based assays (1.7 pM median LOD of 51 papers). We also tabulated and analyzed the clinical performance of SERS immune and aptamer assays, where selectivity, specificity, and accuracy are reported, we summarized the best examples. We also reviewed challenges to SERS bioassay performance and real-life application, including non-specific protein binding, nanoparticle aggregation, limited nanotag stability, sometimes, relatively long time to results, etc. The proposed solutions to those challenges are also discussed in the review. Overall, this review may be interesting not only to bioanalytical chemist, but to medical and life science researchers who are interested in improvement of bioanalyte detection and diagnostics.

Abstract
The effective detection of biomarkers associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is of great importance. Golgi protein 73 (GP73), a serum biomarker of HCC, has better diagnostic value than Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has been reported. In this paper, highly accurate fluorescence sensing platform for detecting GP73 was constructed based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), in which nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) labelling with GP73 aptamer (GP73Apt) was used as fluorescence probe, and molybdenum disulfide @ reduced graphene oxide (MoS2@RGO) nanosheets was used as fluorescent receptors. MoS2@RGO nanosheets can quench the fluorescence of NGQDs-GP73Apt owing to FRET mechanisms. In the presence of GP73, the NGQDs-GP73Apt specifically bound with GP73 to from the deployable structures, making NGQDs-GP73Apt far away from MoS2@RGO nanosheets, blocking the FRET process, resulting in fluorescence recovery of NGQDs-GP73Apt. Under optimal conditions, the recovery intensity of fluorescence in the detection system is linearly related to the concentration of GP73 in the range of 5 ng/mL - 100 ng/mL and the limit of detection is 4.54 ng/mL (S/N = 3). Moreover, detection of GP73 was performed in human serum samples with good recovery (97.21-100.83%). This platform provides a feasible method for the early diagnosis of HCC, and can be easily extended to the detection of other biomarkers.

Abstract
Tricaine is a common anesthetic used in the long-distance transport of live fish. Recently, its negative impact on human health has aroused extensive concern. Thus, rapid and reliable techniques for tricaine residue analysis are essential to ensuring the quality of aquatic products. Herein, a specific anti-tricaine monoclonal antibody (Mab) was prepared. Then, a sensitive and robust ratiometric fluorescence ELISA (RF-ELISA) was constructed for detecting tricaine based on two MnO2 nanoflake-mediated (MnO2 NFs) fluorogenic reactions. In the RF-ELISA protocol, MnO2 NFs with oxidase-like activity can trigger the formation of fluorescent 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) with an emissive peak at 570 nm from non-fluorescent o-phenylenediamine (OPD), while ascorbic acid (AA) can decompose MnO2 NFs to lose their oxidase-mimicking activity, which is accompanied by the oxidation of AA into dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA). The subsequent reaction between the generated DHAA and OPD will result in the production of 3-(1,2-dihydroxy ethyl)furo[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(3H)-on (DFQ), which has a potent emission peak at 445 nm. By virtue of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) labeled on the antibody, which can catalyze the production of AA from ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP), the concentration of tricaine can be linked to the variation of the RF signal (F445/F570) via a competitive immunoreaction. After optimization, RF-ELISA displayed a detection limit (LOD) of 0.28 ng/mL toward tricaine (in buffer solution), which was 376-fold lower than that of the traditional colorimetric ELISA. For practical application, the LODs of RF-ELISA for tricaine detection in shrimp and tilapia samples were determined to be 2.8 and 5.6 ng/g, respectively. Recoveries for spiked shrimp and tilapia samples, as well as the validation data from LC-MS/MS, showed that RF-ELISA exhibited good accuracy, precision, and reliability. This RF-ELISA protocol opened up new ways for tricaine and other-target analyses in food safety detection.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoenzymes/nanozymes (MnO2-NEs) are 1-100 nm nanomaterials that mimic catalytic, oxidative, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase activities. The oxidative-like activity of MnO2-NEs makes them suitable for developing effective and low-cost colorimetric detection assays of biomolecules. Interestingly, MnO2-NEs also demonstrate scavenging properties against reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various pathological conditions. In addition, due to the decomposition of MnO2-NEs in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the production of Mn2+, they can act as a contrast agent for improving clinical imaging diagnostics. MnO2-NEs also can use as an in situ oxygen production system in TME, thereby overcoming hypoxic conditions and their consequences in the progression of cancer. Furthermore, MnO2-NEs as a shell and coating make the nanosystems smart and, therefore, in combination with other nanomaterials, the MnO2-NEs can be used as an intelligent nanocarrier for delivering drugs, photosensitizers, and sonosensitizers in vivo. Moreover, these capabilities make MnO2-NEs a promising candidate for the detection and treatment of different human diseases such as cancer, metabolic, infectious, and inflammatory pathological conditions. MnO2-NEs also have ROS-scavenging and anti-bacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, which make them suitable for wound healing applications. Given the importance of nanomaterials and their potential applications in biomedicine, this review aimed to discuss the biochemical properties and the theranostic roles of MnO2-NEs and recent advances in their use in colorimetric detection assays of biomolecules, diagnostic imaging, drug delivery, and combinatorial therapy applications. Finally, the challenges of MnO2-NEs applications in biomedicine will be discussed.

Abstract
An immunosensor is defined as an analytical device that detects the binding of an antigen to its specific antibody by coupling an immunochemical reaction to the surface of a device called a transducer. Fluorescence immunosensing is one of the most promising immunoassays at present, and has the advantages of simple operation, fast response and high stability. A traditional fluorescence immunosensor often uses an enzyme-labelled antibody as a recognition unit and an organic dye as a fluorescence probe, so it is easily affected by environmental factors with low sensitivity. Nanomaterials have unique photostability, catalytic properties and biocompatibility, which open up a new path for the construction of stable and sensitive fluorescence immunosensors. This paper briefly introduces different kinds of immunosensors and the role of nanomaterials in the construction of immunosensors. The significance of fluorescent immunosensors constructed from functional nanomaterials to detect tumor biomarkers was analyzed, and the strategies to further improve the performance of fluorescent immunosensors and their future development trend were summarized.

Abstract
Molecular tags such as fluorophores are increasingly being replaced with nanoparticles thanks to their superior optical properties, substantial chemical stability, and stability against photobleaching. Herein, we innovatively constructed a new ratiometric fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (RF-ELISA) for the screening of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in early hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro diagnostics using carbon dots@SiO2@CdTe quantum dots (CDs@SiO2@CdTe QDs). Carbon dots with blue fluorescence were initially encapsulated into SiO2 nanospheres through the typical Stöber method. Thereafter, CdTe QDs with red fluorescence were modified onto the surface of CDs@SiO2 nanospheres. Dual-emission nanotags with blue and red fluorescent signals were utilized to design a RF-ELISA method for the determination of AFP on the anti-AFP capture antibody-coated microplate using glucose oxidase (GOx)-labeled anti-AFP secondary antibody. After the formation of the sandwiched immunocomplex, GOx catalyzed glucose to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which could quench the red fluorescence of CdTe QDs on the surface of nanotags. Meanwhile, the encapsulated carbon dots in the nanotags could still maintain the initial blue fluorescence intensity. The ratio between red fluorescence intensity and blue-emission intensity could be used for the quantitative monitoring of AFP concentration under optimum conditions. The experimental results indicated that CDs@SiO2@CdTe QDs-based RF-ELISA could exhibit a good fluorescence signal with a dynamic linear range of 0.05-60 ng mL-1 at a low detection limit of 8.7 pg mL-1. Moreover, the fluorescence color of the solution including CDs@SiO2@CdTe QDs changed from pink to purple to blue with the increasing AFP level when viewed by the naked eye. Good reproducibility, high specificity, and acceptable stability were achieved for the analysis of target AFP. Importantly, the accuracy of ratiometric fluorescence immunoassay was evaluated to determine human serum samples, giving well-matched results relative to commercially usable human AFP ELISA method.
