Abstract
Au nanotube-based composite membrane served as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with an ultralarge aspect ratio possesses an excellent flexibility and widely tunable surface plasmon resonance, and by introducing graphene oxide (GO) as a spacer layer, the SERS enhancement of the composite membrane is obviously better than those from the individual blocks of the Au nanotubes (AuNTS) membrane and the Au nanoparticle/graphene oxide (AuNP/GO) membrane. Such a "sandwich" (AuNP/GO/AuNT) structured membrane has a high SERS sensitivity and a wide tunability by controlling the size of Au nanoparticles and the thickness of graphene oxide, and the detection limits of the AuNP/GO/AuNT substrate for R6G and NBA are as low as 10-12 and 10-7 M, respectively; the large enhancement is attributed to the adsorption and chemical mechanism of graphene oxide and the physical mechanism of the Au nanoparticles and nanotubes (the electromagnetic field coupling between them).

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enables pesticide residue monitoring to become facile and efficient. In this study, a core-shell structured gold nanoparticles@ZnCo metal-organic framework (AuNPs@ZnCo-MOF) SERS substrate was designed and successfully synthesized for efficient and selective detection of thiram. The bimetallic ZnCo-MOF shell can not only enrich the targeted molecules in the electromagnetic field because of its excellent absorptive capacity, but also act as a stabilized matrix for protecting the AuNPs from aggregation. The AuNPs@ZnCo-MOFs exhibited a high enhancement factor (EF) of 3.51 × 106 and a low detection limit of 1 × 10-7 mol L-1. Besides, the substrate material showed exceptional stability for up to 28 days at room temperature. The AuNPs@ZnCo-MOFs were used to detect thiram which displayed wide linearity (1 × 10-7 to 1 × 10-4 mol L-1) and high recoveries (83.45-99.61%). Moreover, the AuNPs@ZnCo-MOF SERS substrate exhibited excellent anti-interference ability and size selectivity for the target molecules. These indicate that the AuNPs@ZnCo-MOF substrate has great potential for the detection of thiram residues in practical applications.

Synergy of shaped-induced enhanced Raman scattering to improve surface-enhanced Raman scattering signal in the thiram molecule detection. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 310:123907.

Abstract
Herein, we explore the combined effect of Shaped-Induced Enhanced Raman Scattering (SIERS) and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) for detecting thiram molecules. We fabricated V-shaped microchannels on a silicon (100) substrate through a standard lithography and etching process. The analysis of SIERS@SERS was performed for Si-V substrates modified with AuNRs with different thiram concentrations, 10-7 to 10-10 mol/L. The spectra were collected for different regions of the Si-V substrates, i.e., in the inside, edge, between (flat top), and far from Si-V (coffee-ring AuNRs aggregation) to assess the performance of Si-V microchannels obtained. The IDMAP statistical projection reveals a higher silhouette coefficient of 0.91 for the inside of Si-V, indicating a more excellent spectral reproducibility with closer relative intensities. The device platform used in this study stands out as a robust option for commercial sensors, demonstrating exceptional sensitivity in detecting a diverse range of molecules, even at low concentrations.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are very important for the early diagnosis and prognosis of tumors. In this work, we achieved the simultaneous detection of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and microRNA-21 (miR-21) with a dual target recognition probe (DRP) based on the nonlinear hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The multi-branched DNA products, three-dimensional multi-hotspot DNA dendrimers (3DmhD) were used in the amplification of the target miRNAs signal. The DRP is constructed with a core of gold nanocages (AuNCs), modified by nucleic acid probes and labeled with Raman signaling molecules ROX and Cy3. Experiments demonstrated that DRP could activate the multi-branched DNA reaction and generate 3DmhD in the presence of miR-155 and miR-21, which can achieve effective amplification of miR-21 and miR-155. When Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) analysis was performed on 3DmhD, the multi-hot spot effect of 3DmhD significantly enhanced the signals of ROX and Cy3, allowing ultra-sensitive detection of miR-21 and miR-155 in vitro. To our delight, DRP also exhibited sensitive specificity and significant signal amplification for intracellular miRNAs. These results revealed that DRP has the potential to screen tumor cells by analyzing the expression levels of intracellular miRNAs.

Abstract
The selective ultra-sensitive detection of a very low concentration of analyte in a liquid environment using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a challenging task owing to the poor reproducibility of the Raman signals arising from the nonstationary nature of the substrate. However, plasmonic metal particle-incorporated microparticles can be effectively 3-D arrested in a liquid environment that can serve as a stable SERS substrate by employing an optical trapping force. Herein, we demonstrate a 3-D optically trapped Au-attached SiO2 microparticle as an efficient SERS substrate that can detect 512 pM for Rhodamine6G and 6.8 pM for crystal violet. Further, the substrate allows the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes. By utilizing the Raman signal from Rhodamine 6G as the probe beam, the selective detection of Hg2+ ions as low as 100 pM is demonstrated.

Abstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still in an epidemic situation, which poses a serious threat to the safety of people and property. Rapid diagnosis and isolation of infected individuals are one of the important methods to control virus transmission. Existing lateral flow immunoassay techniques have the advantages of rapid, sensitive, and easy operation, and some new options have emerged with the continuous development of nanotechnology. Such as lateral flow immunoassay test strips based on colorimetric-fluorescent dual-mode and gold nanoparticles, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering, etc., these technologies have played an important role in the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19. In this paper, we summarize the current research progress of lateral flow immunoassay in the field of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infection diagnosis, analyze the performance of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 lateral flow immunoassay products, review the advantages and limitations of different detection methods and markers, and then explore the competitive CRISPR-based nucleic acid chromatography detection method. This method combines the advantages of gene editing and lateral flow immunoassay and can achieve rapid and highly sensitive lateral flow immunoassay detection of target nucleic acids, which is expected to be the most representative method for community and clinical point-of-care testing. We hope that researchers will be inspired by this review and strive to solve the problems in the design of highly sensitive targets, the selection of detection methods, and the enhancement of CRISPR technology, to truly achieve rapid, sensitive, convenient, and specific detection of novel coronaviruses, thus promoting the development of novel coronavirus diagnosis and contributing our modest contribution to the world's fight against epidemics.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanostructures (2DNS) attract tremendous interest and have emerged as potential materials for a variety of applications, including biomolecule sensing, due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, tuneable optical and electronic properties. Advancements in the engineering of 2DNS and associated technologies have opened up new opportunities. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a rapid, highly sensitive, non-destructive analytical technique with exceptional signal amplification potential. Several structurally and chemically engineered 2DNS with added advantages (e.g., π-π* interaction), over plasmonic SERS substrates, have been developed specifically towards biomolecule sensing in a complex matrix, such as biological fluids. This review focuses on the recent developments of 2DNS-SERS substrates for biomolecule sensor applications. The recent advancements in engineered 2DNS, particularly for SERS substrates, have been systematically surveyed. In SERS substrates, 2DNS are used as either a standalone signal enhancer or as support for the dispersion of plasmonic nanostructures. The current challenges and future opportunities in this synergetic combination have also been discussed. Given the prospects in the design and preparation of newer 2DNS, this review can give a critical view on the current status, challenges and opportunities to extrapolate their applications in biomolecule detection.

Abstract
As surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been used to diagnose several respiratory viruses (e.g., influenza A virus subtypes such as H1N1 and the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2), SERS is gaining popularity as a method for diagnosing viruses at the point-of-care. Although the prior and quick diagnosis of respiratory viruses is critical in the outbreak of infectious disease, ELISA, PCR, and RT-PCR have been used to detect respiratory viruses for pandemic control that are limited for point-of-care testing. SERS provides quantitative data with high specificity and sensitivity in a real-time, label-free, and multiplex manner recognizing molecular fingerprints. Recently, the design of Raman spectroscopy system was simplified from a complicated design to a small and easily accessible form that enables point-of-care testing. We review the optical design (e.g., laser wavelength/power and detectors) of commercialized and customized handheld Raman instruments. As respiratory viruses have prominent risk on the pandemic, we review the applications of handheld Raman devices for detecting respiratory viruses. By instrumentation and commercialization advancements, the advent of the portable SERS device creates a fast, accurate, practical, and cost-effective analytical method for virus detection, and would continue to attract more attention in point-of-care testing.
