Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status is pivotal in predicting the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatments against tumors. Among EGFR mutations, the E746-A750 deletion is particularly common and accurately quantifying it can guide targeted therapies. This study introduces a novel visual sensing technology using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system guided by ligation-initiated loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) to detect the del E746-A750 mutation in EGFR. Conventional LAMP primers were simplified by designing a pair of target-specific stem-loop DNA probes, enabling selective amplification of the target DNA. The CRISPR/Cas12a system was employed to identify the target nucleic acid and activate Cas12a trans-cleavage activity, thereby enhancing the specificity of the assay. Furthermore, the biosensor utilized high-performance nanomaterials such as triangular gold nanoparticles and graphdiyne, known for their large specific surface area, to enhance sensitivity effectively as a sensing platform. The proposed biosensor demonstrated outstanding specificity, achieving a low detection limit of 17 fM (S/N = 3). Consequently, this innovative strategy not only expands the application scope of CRISPR/Cas12a technology but also introduces a promising approach for clinical diagnostics in modern medicine.

Abstract
The group B Streptococcus (GBS) can generate vertical transmission to infants during delivery, has been seriously threatening the health of infants. Rapid and accurate prenatal GBS diagnosis for pregnant women is a deterministic blueprint to avoid infant viruses. Here, we developed an extraction-free nucleic acid isothermal amplification/CRISPR-Cas12a cutting one-pot system for GBS diagnostic assay by using suboptimal protospacer adjacent motifs, effectively avoiding multiple handling steps and uncapping contamination. The GBS diagnosis assay based on a one-pot system was validated by using fluorescent technique and lateral flow assay strips, exhibited fantastic specificity, accuracy and sensitivity with a limit of detection of 32 copies per reaction (0.64 copies/μL). Moreover, a portable device was constructed and integrated with the one-pot system to realize the GBS detection without professional and scene restrictions, it showed excellent performance in clinical sample detection, which achieved optical and portable GBS detection for point-of-care testing or home-self testing.

Abstract
Thermal-responsive hydrogels are developed as ion-conductive switchs for energy storage devices, however, the molecule mechanism of switch on/off remains unclear. Here, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) hydrogel is synthesized as a model material and nanodiamond (ND) based quantum sensing for phase change study is developed. First, micro-scale phase separation with cross-linked mesh structure after sol-gel transition is visualized in situ and water molecules are trapped by polymer chains and on a chemically "frozen" state. Then, the nano-scale inhomogeneous distributions of viscosity, thermal conductivity and ionic mobility in hydrogel at high temperature are observed by measuring the rotation, translation and zero-field splitting of NDs. Besides, the ionic mobility of hydrogel is found to be dependent not only on temperature but also on polymer concentration. These observations suggested that the physical "wall" induced by inhomogeneous phase separation at microscopic scale blocked the ion conduction pathways, providing a potential intrinsic explanation for ion migration shut-down of ionic hydrogels at high temperature.

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas-based molecular diagnosis demonstrates potent potential for sensitive and rapid pathogen detection, notably in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and mutation tracking. Yet, a major hurdle hindering widespread practical use is its restricted throughput, limited integration, and complex reagent preparation. Here, a system, microfluidic multiplate-based ultrahigh throughput analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern using CRISPR/Cas12a and nonextraction RT-LAMP (mutaSCAN), is proposed for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants with limited resource requirements. With the aid of the self-developed reagents and deep-learning enabled prototype device, our mutaSCAN system can detect SARS-CoV-2 in mock swab samples below 30 min as low as 250 copies/mL with the throughput up to 96 per round. Clinical specimens were tested with this system, the accuracy for routine and mutation testing (22 wildtype samples, 26 mutational samples) was 98% and 100%, respectively. No false-positive results were found for negative (n = 24) samples.

Abstract
The CRISPR-Cas9 method has revolutionized the gene editing. Epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, RNA modification, and changes in histone proteins, have been intensively studied and found to play a key role in the pathogenesis of human diseases. CRISPR-While the utility of DNA and chromatin modifications, known as epigenetics, is well understood, the functional significance of various alterations of RNA nucleotides has recently gained attention. Recent advancements in improving CRISPR-based epigenetic modifications has resulted in the availability of a powerful source that can selectively modify DNA, allowing for the maintenance of epigenetic memory over several cell divisions. Accurate identification of DNA methylation at specific locations is crucial for the prompt detection of cancer and other diseases, as DNA methylation is strongly correlated to the onset as well as the advancement of such conditions. Genetic or epigenetic perturbations can disrupt the regulation of imprinted genes, resulting in the development of diseases. When histone code editors and DNA de-/ methyltransferases are coupled with catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9), and CRISPRa and CRISPRi, they demonstrate excellent efficacy in editing the epigenome of eukaryotic cells. Advancing and optimizing the extracellular delivery platform can, hence, further facilitate the manipulation of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technique in upcoming clinical studies. The current chapter focuses on how the CRISP/ Cas9 system provides an avenue for the epigenetic modifications and its employability for human benefit.

Abstract
Excavating nucleic acid quantitative capabilities by combining clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and isothermal amplification in one pot is of common interest. However, the mutual interference between CRISPR cleavage and isothermal amplification is the primary obstacle to quantitative detection. Though several works have demonstrated enhanced detection sensitivity by reducing the inhibition of CRISPR on amplification in one pot, few paid attention to the amplification process and even dynamic reaction processes between the two. Herein, we find that DNA quantification can be realized by regulating either recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) efficiency or CRISPR/Cas12a cleaving efficiency (namely, tuning the dynamic reaction balance) in one pot. The sensitive quantification is realized by utilizing dual PAM-free crRNAs for CRISPR/Cas12a recognition. The varied RPA primer concentration with stabilized CRISPR systems significantly affects the amplification efficiency and quantitative performances. Alternatively, quantitative detection can also be achieved by stabilizing the amplification process while regulating the CRISPR/Cas12a concentration. The quantitative capability is proved by detecting DNA targets from Lactobacillus acetotolerans and SARS-CoV-2. The quantitative performance toward real samples is comparable to quantitative real-time PCR for detecting L. acetotolerans spiked in fermented food samples and SARS-CoV-2 clinical samples. We expect that the presented method will be a powerful tool for quantifying other nucleic acid targets.

Abstract
The CRISPR Cas system, as a novel nucleic acid detection tool, is often hindered by cumbersome experimental procedures, complicated reagent transfer processes, and associated aerosol pollution risks. In this study, an integrated nucleic acid detection platform named "up and down chip" was developed, which combined RT-RAA technology for nucleic acid amplification, DNase-dead Cas12a-modified magnetic beads for specific recognition of target nucleic acid, and HRP-TMB chromogenic reaction for signal output in different chambers of a single microfluidic chip. The magnetic beads were migrated in an up-and-down manner between different chambers through magnetic driving, achieving a "sample-in, result-out" detection mode. By introducing a homemade heating box for temperature control during the reaction and using the naked eye or a smartphone APP for color-based signal reading, no professional or precise instruments were required in this platform. Using this platform, highly sensitive detection of the HIV-1 genome as low as 250 copies (CPs) per mL was achieved within 100 min while maintaining good detection performance against common variants as well as excellent specificity and anti-interference ability. In addition, compared with qRT-PCR, it also exhibited good accuracy for 56 spiked plasma samples, indicating its promising potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Genome editing technologies that are currently available and described have a fundamental impact on the development of molecular biology and medicine, industrial and agricultural biotechnology and other fields. However, genome editing based on detection and manipulation of the targeted RNA is a promising alternative to control the gene expression at the spatiotemporal transcriptomic level without complete elimination. The innovative CRISPR-Cas RNA-targeting systems changed the conception of biosensing systems and also allowed the RNA effectors to be used in various applications; for example, genomic editing, effective virus diagnostic tools, biomarkers, transcription regulations. In this review, we discussed the current state-of-the-art of specific CRISPR-Cas systems known to bind and cleave RNA substrates and summarized potential applications of the versatile RNA-targeting systems.
