Abstract
After the development of portable glucose biosensor, challenges have remained to fabricate more portable devices for sensitive and reproducible detection of other biomarkers. Here, we fabricated a hand-held device for the quantification of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or any other biomarkers based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) using a bipolar electrode (BPE). The detection mechanism was based on a sandwich assay composed of a capture antibody and a secondary antibody conjugated with a robust ECL reporter. The ECL reporter was fabricated by conjugation of luminol on streptavidin-coated gold nanoparticle (Lum@SA-AuNP), leaving the biotin binding sites of the streptavidin intact for further conjugation with secondary antibody. This novel controlled functionalization strategy significantly enhanced the reproducibility and robustness of the biosensor. Moreover, an inventive parabolic reflector was implemented in the design, in order to maximize the lights to be captured by the photodiode (detector) and measured by a simple multimeter. Due to the synergetic signal amplification, the developed biosensor demonstrated a low sensitivity of 2.51 ng/ml with a linear detection range from 5 to 300 ng/ml with the ability to perform well in spiked-in samples. The designed sensing mechanism can definitely pave the way for further development of miniaturized devices in multiple formats.

Abstract
Advantages of biosensors based on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) rely on improved sensitivity and specificity, and suited reproducibility in detecting a target molecule that is localized in close proximity to a SERS-active surface. Herein, a comprehensive study on the realization of a SERS biosensor designed for detecting miRNA-183, a miRNA biomarker that is specific for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is presented. The used strategy exploits a signal-off mechanism by means of a labelled molecular beacon (MB) as the oligonucleotide biorecognition element immobilized on a 2D SERS substrate, based on spot-on silver nanowires (AgNWs) and a multi-well low volume cell. The MB was properly designed by following a dedicated protocol to recognize the chosen miRNA. A limit of detection down to femtomolar concentration (3 × 10-16 M) was achieved and the specificity of the biosensor was proved. Furthermore, the possibility to regenerate the sensing system through a simple procedure is shown: with regeneration by using HCl 1 mM, two detection cycles were performed with a good recovery of the initial MB signal (83%) and a reproducible signal after hybridization.

Abstract
Due to their pivotal roles in many biological functions, cell surface proteins (CSPs) are often used for cancer prognosis, as evidenced by a number of studies that have reported significant changes in the expression levels of specific surface proteins depending on the stage of tumorigenesis and selection/variety of reprogrammed cells during cell fate conversion. Current CSP detection strategies suffer from poor selectivity and lack the ability for in situ analysis but maintain the spatial information between cells. Here, we have fabricated nanoprobes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassays by conjugating a specific antibody onto silica-coated gold nanoparticles incorporating an individual Raman reporter (Au-tag@SiO2-Ab NPs) for highly sensitive and selective in situ detection in different types of cells. When multiple HEK293 cell lines stably expressing different levels of the CSP, ACE2, were investigated by the SERS immunoassay, we demonstrated that the level of ACE2 expression in each cell line could be statistically distinguished from that in the other cell lines, indicating the quantitative feature of this biosensing system. When detecting living cells without cell lysis or fixation, as well as fixed cells, the levels of the epithelial CSPs, EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) and E-cadherin, were successfully determined using our Au-tag@SiO2-Ab NPs and SERS immunoassay system in a highly selective and quantitative manner without significant cytotoxicity. Hence, our work provides technical insight into the development of a biosensing platform for a variety of biomedical applications, such as cancer metastasis prognosis and the in situ monitoring of stem cell reprogramming and differentiation.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate morphological and metabolic changes in the brains of 5xFAD mice. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were obtained in 10- and 14-month-old 5xFAD and wild-type (WT) mice, while 31P MRS scans were acquired in 11-month-old mice. Significantly reduced gray matter (GM) was identified by voxel-based morphometry (VBM) in the thalamus, hypothalamus, and periaqueductal gray areas of 5xFAD mice compared to WT mice. Significant reductions in N-acetyl aspartate and elevation of myo-Inositol were revealed by the quantification of MRS in the hippocampus of 5xFAD mice, compared to WT. A significant reduction in NeuN-positive cells and elevation of Iba1- and GFAP-positive cells supported this observation. The reduction in phosphomonoester and elevation of phosphodiester was observed in 11-month-old 5xFAD mice, which might imply a sign of disruption in the membrane synthesis. Commonly reported 1H MRS features were replicated in the hippocampus of 14-month-old 5xFAD mice, and a sign of disruption in the membrane synthesis and elevation of breakdown were revealed in the whole brain of 5xFAD mice by 31P MRS. GM volume reduction was identified in the thalamus, hypothalamus, and periaqueductal gray areas of 5xFAD mice.

Abstract
Methyl salicylate (MeSal) is an organic compound present in plants during stress events and is therefore a key marker for early plant disease detection. It has usually been detected by conventional methods that require bulky and costly equipment, such as gas chromatography or mass spectrometry. Currently, however, chemical sensors provide an alternative for MeSal monitoring, showing good performance for its determination in the vapour or liquid phase. The most promising concepts used in MeSal determination include sensors based on electrochemical and conductometric principles, although other technologies based on mass-sensitive, microwave, or spectrophotometric principles also show promise. The receptor elements or sensitive materials are shown to be part of the key elements in these sensing technologies. A literature survey identified a significant contribution of bioreceptors, including enzymes, odourant-binding proteins or peptides, as well as receptors based on polymers or inorganic materials in MeSal determination. This work reviews these concepts and materials and discusses their future prospects and limitations for application in plant health monitoring.

Innovative model of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for exosomes identification: An approach for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Clin Chim Acta 2023; 540:117228. [PMID: 36646368 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The current hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnostic approaches lack adequate sensitivity and specificity. So, this study was performed to develop an innovative model of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) that can detect HCC patients by identifying the circulating tumor-derived exosomes. METHODOLOGY Sixty participants, including normal controls, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients, and HCV-associated HCC patients, had their whole blood samples and exosomes separated from these samples analyzed using Raman spectroscopy (RS). A revolutionary model of SERS, based on an innovative glass and nano-gold, was designed to directly identify exosomes. Its measurements were simulated by Comsol Multiphysics (5.6). RESULTS The RS examination of the whole blood samples revealed no Raman peaks. Yet, the isolated exosomes from these samples generated Raman peaks at 400 and 1000 cm-1 wavenumbers in the HCV group. A Raman shift was detected in HCC patients at 812, 852, and 878 cm-1 wavenumbers with intensity ratios of 120, 130, and 60, respectively. The RS had a sensitivity and specificity of 95 % and 100 %, respectively, for detecting HCC. However, the newly-designed SERS was able to identify the HCC-derived exosomes, at 812 and 878 cm-1 wavenumbers, with boosted intensity ratios of 9*106 and 4*106, respectively, in the whole blood samples. CONCLUSION The newly-developed SERS model has the potential to detect HCC patients through recognizing the tumor-derived exosomes non-invasively, with high accuracy, and without the need for laborious exosomal separation. Nonetheless, bringing this technology into the clinic demands the establishment of spectral databases and their validation using the current gold standards.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is the process of modulating shape and size at the nanoscale to design and manufacture structures, devices, and systems. Nanotechnology's prospective breakthroughs are incredible, and some cannot even be comprehended right now. The blood-brain barrier, which is a prominent physiological barrier in the brain, limits the adequate elimination of malignant cells by changing the concentration of therapeutic agents at the target tissue. Nanotechnology has sparked interest in recent years as a way to solve these issues and improve drug delivery. Inorganic and organic nanomaterials have been found to be beneficial for bioimaging approaches and controlled drug delivery systems. Brain cancer (BC) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two of the prominent disorders of the brain. Even though the pathophysiology and pathways for both disorders are different, nanotechnology with common features can deliver drugs over the BBB, advancing the treatment of both disorders. This innovative technology could provide a foundation for combining diagnostics, treatments, and delivery of targeted drugs to the tumour site, further supervising the response and designing and delivering materials by employing atomic and molecular elements. There is currently limited treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and reversing further progression is difficult. Recently, various nanocarriers have been investigated to improve the bioavailability and efficacy of many AD treatment drugs. Nanotechnology-assisted drugs can penetrate the BBB and reach the target tissue. However, further research is required in this field to ensure the safety and efficacy of drug-loaded nanoparticles. The application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours and Alzheimer's disease is briefly discussed in this review.

Abstract
In regenerative medicine, cell therapies using various stem cells have received attention as an alternative to overcome the limitations of existing therapeutic methods. Clinical applications of stem cells require the identification of characteristics at the single-cell level and continuous monitoring during expansion and differentiation. In this review, we recapitulate the application of various stem cells used in regenerative medicine and the latest technological advances in monitoring the differentiation process of stem cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing capable of profiling the expression of many genes at the single-cell level provides a new opportunity to analyze stem cell heterogeneity and to specify molecular markers related to the branching of differentiation lineages. However, this method is destructive and distorted. In addition, the differentiation process of a particular cell cannot be continuously tracked. Therefore, several spectroscopic methods have been developed to overcome these limitations. In particular, the application of Raman spectroscopy to measure the intrinsic vibration spectrum of molecules has been proposed as a powerful method that enables continuous monitoring of biochemical changes in the process of the differentiation of stem cells. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current analytical methods employed for stem cell engineering and future perspectives of nano-biosensing technologies as a platform for the in situ monitoring of stem cell status and differentiation.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases are some of the most common diseases in different parts of the world. So far, most attention has been paid to the role of environmental factors in the inflammatory process. The diagnosis of inflammatory changes is an important goal for the timely diagnosis and treatment of various metastatic, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) can be used for the diagnosis of inflammation due to their excellent properties, such as high biocompatibility, low toxicity, high stability, and specific surface area. Additionally, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) allows the very sensitive structural detection of analytes at low concentrations by amplifying electromagnetic fields generated by the excitation of localized surface plasmons. In recent years, the use of graphene quantum dots amplified by SERS has increased for the diagnosis of inflammation. The known advantages of graphene quantum dots SERS include non-destructive analysis methods, sensitivity and specificity, and the generation of narrow spectral bands characteristic of the molecular components present, which have led to their increased application. In this article, we review recent advances in the diagnosis of inflammation using graphene quantum dots and their improved detection of SERS. In this review study, the graphene quantum dots synthesis method, bioactivation method, inflammatory biomarkers, plasma synthesis of GQDs and SERS GQD are investigated. Finally, the detection mechanisms of SERS and the detection of inflammation are presented.

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique has displayed a broad application prospect in disease diagnosis owing to its high sensitivity, fast responsiveness, and high specificity. In this study, we developed a SERS-based immunoassay for the detection of cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide (glucuronoxylomannan, GXM), which is an important biomarker of cryptococcosis. The coupled localized surface plasmon resonance effect between magnetic SERS substrates and SERS tags gave rise to an enhanced Raman signal upon the formation of sandwich complexes, which contributes to the sensitive and specific detection of GXM. As a result, the developed method provided a lower limit of detection (1.25 ng/mL) than conventional methods, such as latex agglutination, lateral flow assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Additionally, a recovery experiment was performed to detect GXM in human serum, which also validated the potential advantages of a SERS-based immunoassay in the clinical diagnosis of cryptococcosis.

Abstract
Modern society has been facing serious health-related problems including food safety, diseases and illness. Hence, it is urgent to develop analysis methods for the detection and control of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens. As the traditional instrumental methods have several disadvantages, including being time consuming, and having high cost and laborious procedures, optical nanosensors have emerged as promising alternative or complementary approaches to those traditional ones. With the advantages of simple preparation, high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and especially, unique optical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been demonstrated as excellent transducers for optical sensing systems. Herein, we provide an overview of the synthesis of AuNPs and their excellent optical properties that are ideal for the development of optical nanosensors based on local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), colorimetry, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) phenomena. We also review the sensing strategies and their mechanisms, as well as summarizing the recent advances in the monitoring of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens using developed AuNP-based optical nanosensors in the past seven years (2015-now). Furthermore, trends and challenges in the application of these nanosensors in the determination of those analytes are discussed to suggest possible directions for future developments.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Due to the intrinsic nature of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the detection of molecules with weak binding affinities toward metal substrates is critical for development of a universal SERS sensing platform. We hypothesized the physical trapping of small pesticide molecules for active hot spot generation using tyramine-mediated crosslinking chemistry and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) enhances SERS detection sensitivity. EXPERIMENTS Tyramine-mediated crosslinking chemistry for sensor application was validated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and Raman spectroscopy. SERS sensing platform using tyramine-mediated crosslinking reaction was systematically studied for detection of 1,4-dyethylnylbenzene as a model analyte. This sensor system was applied to detect two other pesticides, thiabendazole and 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene, which have different binding affinities toward metal surfaces. FINDINGS The SERS signal of 1,4-dyethylnylbenzene obtained using this sensor system was 3.6 times stronger than that obtained using the Ag colloidal due to the nanogap of approximately 1.3 nm within the generated hot spots. This sensor system based on tyramine-mediated crosslinked Ag NPs was evaluated as a promising tool to achieve a solution based sensitive detection of various pesticide molecules that cannot be adsorbed on the surfaces of typical SERS substrates such as metal nanoparticles.
