Abstract
Pesticides are applied widely to increase agricultural output and quality, however, this practice results in residual issues that not only harm the environment but also put people and animals' lives and health at risk. As a result, it is critical to find pesticide residues in a variety of sources, including crops, water supplies, and soil. Aptamers are more flexible in their synthesis and modification, have a high level of specificity, are inexpensive, and have good stability compared to conventional detection methods. They have therefore attracted a lot of interest in the industry. This study reviews the most recent aptasensor advancements in the detection of pesticide residues. Firstly, aptamers specifically binding to many pesticides are summarized. Secondly, the combination of aptasensors with colorimetric, fluorescent, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), resonance Light Scattering (RLS), chemiluminescence (CL), electrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technologies are systematically introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages are expounded. Importantly, the aptasensors for the detection of various pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphorus, neonicotinoids, carbamates, and pyrethroids) that have been developed so far are systematically analyzed and discussed. Finally, the furture prospects and challenges of the aptasensors are highlighted. It is expected to offer suggestions for the later creation of novel, highly effective and sensitive aptasensors for the detection of pesticide residues.

Abstract
Kanamycin is used widely in livestock farming due to its antimicrobial properties and low cost, but has led to antibiotic residues in food, which can damage human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need for convenient technology that can be used to detect kanamycin rapidly. We found that Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) possessed peroxidase-like activity that catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine to change color. Interestingly, a target-specific aptamer could regulate the catalytic activity of Co3O4 NPs and inhibit this effect through aptamer-target binding. On the basis of a colorimetric assay combined with an aptamer-regulatory mechanism, the linear range for quantitative detection of kanamycin was 0.1-30 μM, the minimum limit of detection was 44.2 nM, and the total time needed for detection was 55 min. Moreover, this "aptasensor" displayed excellent selectivity and could be applied to detect KAN in milk samples. Our sensor might have promising applications for kanamycin detection in animal husbandry and agricultural products.

Abstract
The synergistic potentialities of innovative materials that include aptamers have opened new paradigms in biosensing platforms for high-throughput monitoring systems. The available nucleobase functional moieties in aptamers offer exclusive features for bioanalytical sensing applications. In this context, compared to various in-practice biological recognition elements, the utilization of aptamers in detection platforms results in an extensive range of advantages in terms of design flexibility, stability, and sensitivity, among other attributes. Thus, the utilization of aptamers-based biosensing platforms is extensively anticipated to meet unaddressed challenges of various in-practice and standard analytical and sensing techniques. Furthermore, the superior characteristics of aptasensors have led to their applicability in the detection of harmful pollutants present in ever-increasing concentrations in different environmental matrices and water bodies, seeking to achieve simple and real-time monitoring. Considering the above-mentioned critiques and notable functional attributes of aptamers, herein, we reviewed aptamers as a fascinating interface to design, develop, and deploy a new generation of monitoring systems to aid modern bioanalytical sensing applications. Moreover, this review aims to summarize the most recent advances in the development and application of aptasensors for the detection of various emerging pollutants (EPs), e.g., pharmaceutical, and personal care products (PPCPs), endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), pesticides and other agricultural-related compounds, and toxic heavy elements. In addition, the limitations and current challenges are also reviewed, considering the technical constraints and complexity of the environmental samples.

Abstract
In the field of lateral flow assay (LFA), the application of aptamer as a bioreceptor has been implemented to overcome the limitations of antibodies, such as tedious in vivo processes, short shelf-life, and functionalization issues. To address these limitations aptamer-based LFA (ALFA) is preferred to antibody-based LFA that produces higher sensitivity and specificity. In principle, aptamers have a strong affinity towards their targets like small, large, and non-immunogenic molecules because of their high affinity, sensitivity, low dissociation constant, cost-effectiveness, and flexible nature. Thus, ALFA can be considered an efficient biosensor model for its superior portability, rapid detection with quick turnaround time, and usability by a non-technical person at any location with simple visual output. This review concisely overviews ALFA, its principles, formats, aptamer selection process, and biomedical applications. In addition, the critical components to design, develop, test, and amplify signals to create ALFA are discussed in brief. In addition, the aspects of conceptualization of ALFA product transforming from bench-side laboratory design and fabrication to commercial market are addressed in detail.

Abstract
Array-based optical sensing is an efficient technique for the determination and discrimination of small organic molecules. This study is aimed at the development of a simple and rapid strategy for obtaining an optical response from a wide range of low-molecular-weight organic compounds. We have suggested a colorimetric and fluorimetric sensing platform based on the combination of two response mechanisms using carbocyanine dyes: aggregation and oxidation. In the first one, the analyte forms ternary aggregates with an oppositely charged surfactant wherein the dye is solubilized in the hydrophobic domains of the surfactant accompanied with fluorescent enhancement. The second mechanism is based on the effect of the analyte on the catalytic reaction rate of dye oxidation with H2O2 in the presence of a metal ion (Cu2+, Pd2+), which entails fluorescence waning and color change. The reaction mixture in a 96-well plate is photographed in visible light (colorimetry) and the near-IR region under red light excitation (fluorimetry). In this proof-of-concept study, we demonstrated the feasibility of discrimination of nine medicinal compounds using principal component analysis: four cephalosporins (ceftriaxone, cefazolin, ceftazidime, cefotaxime), three phenothiazines (promethazine, promazine, chlorpromazine), and two penicillins (benzylpenicillin, ampicillin) in an aqueous solution and in the presence of turkey meat extract. The suggested platform allows simple and rapid recognition of analytes of various nature without using spectral equipment, except for a photo camera.

Abstract
The lateral flow assay (LFA) is an extensively used paper-based platform for the rapid and on-site detection of different analytes. The method is user-friendly with no need for sophisticated operation and only includes adding sample. Generally, antibodies are employed as the biorecognition elements in the LFA. However, antibodies possess several disadvantages including poor stability, high batch-to-batch variation, long development time, high price and need for ethical approval and cold chain. Because of these limitations, aptamers screened by an in vitro process can be a good alternative to antibodies as biorecognition molecules in the LFA. In recent years, aptamer-based LFAs have been investigated for the detection of different analytes in point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, we summarize the applications of aptamer technology in LFAs in clinical diagnostic rapid tests for the detection of biomarkers, microbial analytes, hormones and antibiotics. Performance, advantages and drawbacks of the developed assays are also discussed.
