Abstract
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have received significant attention owing to their unique properties, especially enhanced sensitivity. Recent advancements in biomedical diagnosis have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as sensitive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. Current diagnostics methods, however, need further improvements with regards to their sensitivity, mainly due to the low concentration levels of miRNAs in the body. The low limit of detection of nanomaterial-based biosensors has turned them into powerful tools for detecting and quantifying these biomarkers. Herein, we assemble an overview of recent developments in the application of different nanomaterials and nanostructures as miRNA electrochemical biosensing platforms, along with their pros and cons. The techniques are categorized based on the nanomaterial used.

Abstract
Background: Transplantation of cryopreserved follicles can be regarded as a promising strategy for preserving fertility in cancer patients under chemotherapy and radiotherapy by reducing the risk of cancer recurrence. The present study aimed to evaluate whether fibrin hydrogel supplemented with platelet lysate (PL) could be applied to enhance follicular survival, growth, and angiogenesis in cryopreserved preantral follicle grafts. Materials and Methods: Preantral follicles were extracted from 15 four-week-old NMRI mice, cryopreserved by cryotop method, and encapsulated in fibrin-platelet lysate for subsequent heterotopic (subcutaneous) auto-transplantation into the neck. Transplants were assessed in three groups including fresh follicles in fibrin-15%PL, cryopreserved follicles in fibrin-15%PL, and cryopreserved follicles in fibrin-0% PL. Two weeks after transplantation, histological, and immunohistochemistry (CD31) analysis were applied to evaluate follicle morphology, survival rate, and vascular formation, respectively. Results: Based on the results, fibrin-15% PL significantly increased neovascularization and survival rate (SR) both in cryopreserved (SR=66.96%) and fresh follicle (SR=90.8%) grafts, compared to PL-less fibrin cryopreserved transplants (SR=28.46%). The grafts supplemented with PL included a significantly higher percentage of preantral and antral follicles. Also, no significant difference was observed in the percentage of preantral follicles between cryopreserved and fresh grafts of fibrin-15% PL. However, a significantly lower (P=0.03) percentage of follicles (23.37%) increased to the antral stage in cryopreserved grafts of fibrin-15%PL, compared to fresh grafts (35.01%). Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that fibrin-PL matrix could be a promising strategy to improve cryopreserved follicle transplantation and preserve fertility in cancer patients at the risk of ovarian failure.

Abstract
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles involved in many physiological activities of cells in the human body. Exosomes from cancer cells have great potential to be applied in clinical diagnosis, early cancer detection and target identification for molecular therapy. While this field is gaining increasing interests from both academia and industry, barriers such as supersensitive detection techniques and highly-efficient isolation methods remain. In the clinical settings, there is an urgent need for rapid analysis, reliable detection and point-of-care testing (POCT). With these challenges to be addressed, this article aims to review recent developments and technical breakthroughs including optical, electrochemical and electrical biosensors for exosomes detection in the field of cancer and other diseases and demonstrate how nanobiosensors could enhance the performance of conventional sensors. Working strategies, limit of detections, advantages and shortcomings of the studies are summarized. New trends, challenges and future perspectives of exosome-driven POCT in liquid biopsy have been discussed.

Abstract
Point-of-care Nucleic acid testing (POCNAT) has become an attractive technique for DNA identification in resource-limited settings, offering a rapid system for urgent clinical applications. In this study, a chemiluminescence-based lateral flow biosensor (CL-LFB) was developed for the quantitative analysis of DNA, without labeling and amplification. The developed biosensor employs a two-step hybridization, a primary hybridization of 5'-biotinylated detector probe to the target DNA and a secondary hybridization of the resulting complex with the immobilized capture probe. Quantitative analysis of DNA was provided via HRP-catalyzed reaction with the chemiluminescense substrate followed by imaging with a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) digital camera. The assay performance was investigated using a synthetic target, 16S rRNA gene (775 bp) and the whole genome derived from Escherichia coli (E.coli). A detection limit of 1.5 pM for the synthetic target and 0.4 ng/ml for 16S rRNA gene was obtained. In spite of LFBs limitations for the detection of large DNA fragments, the proposed assay provided a low-cost, fast, and sensitive tool for PCR-free diagnosis of small and larger fragments of nucleic acids.
