RESUMEN
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have emerged as powerful biomarkers for diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, the effective identification and concurrently accurate imaging of CTCs for early screening of prostate cancer have been rarely explored. Herein, we reported a multifunctional gold nanoprobe-based thermophoretic assay for simultaneous specific distinguishing of prostate cancer CTCs and sensitive imaging of intracellular microRNA (miR-21), achieving the rapid and precise detection of prostate cancer. The multifunctional gold nanoprobe (GNP-DNA/Ab) was modified by two types of prostate-specific antibodies, anti-PSMA and anti-EpCAM, which could effectively recognize the targeting CTCs, and meanwhile linked double-stranded DNA for further visually imaging intracellular miR-21. Upon the specific internalization of GNP-DNA/Ab by PC-3 cells, target aberrant miR-21 could displace the signal strand to recover the fluorescence signal for sensitive detection at the single-cell level, achieving single PC-3 cell imaging benefiting from the thermophoresis-mediated signal amplification procedure. Taking advantage of the sensitive miR-21 imaging performance, GNP-DNA/Ab could be employed to discriminate the PC-3 and Jurkat cells because of the different expression levels of miR-21. Notably, PC-3 cells were efficiently recognized from white blood cells, exhibiting promising potential for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Furthermore, GNP-DNA/Ab possessed good biocompatibility and stability. Therefore, this work provides a great tool for aberrant miRNA-related detection and specific discrimination of CTCs, achieving the early and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Accurate and quantitative detection of pre-eclampsia markers is crucial in reducing pregnancy mortality rates. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing a fluorescent biosensor by the immunosorbent atom transfer radical polymerization (immuno-ATRP) assay to detect the pre-eclampsia protein marker CD81. The critical step used in this sensor is the novel signal amplification strategy of fluorescein polymerization mediated by ferritin-enhanced controlled radical polymerization, which combines with a traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to further reduce the detection limit of the CD81 protein concentration. The fluorescence intensity was linear versus logarithmic CD81 protein concentration from 0.1 to 10,000 pg mL-1, and the detection limit was 0.067 pg mL-1. Surprisingly, in 30% normal human serum (NHS), the sensor can also detect target protein over 0.1-10,000 pg mL-1, with 0.083 pg mL-1 for the detection limit. Moreover, the proposed biosensor is designed to be cost-effective, making it accessible, particularly in resource-limited settings where expensive detection techniques may not be available. The affordability of this method enables widespread screening and monitoring of preeclampsia, ultimately benefiting many pregnant women by improving their healthcare outcomes. In short, developing of a low-cost and susceptible direct detection method for preeclampsia protein markers, such as CD81, through the use of the immuno-ATRP assay, has significant implications for reducing pregnancy mortality. This method holds promise for early detection, precise treatment, and improved management of preeclampsia, thereby contributing to better maternal and fetal health.

Artificial olfactory systems have been widely used in medical fields such as in the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human exhaled breath. However, there is still an urgent demand for a portable, accurate breath VOC analysis system for the healthcare industry. In this work, we proposed a Janus colorimetric face mask (JCFM) for the comfortable evaluation of breath ammonia levels by combining the machine learning K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) algorithm. Such a Janus fabric is designed for the unidirectional penetration of exhaled moisture, which can reduce stickiness and ensure facial dryness and comfort. Four different pH indicators on the colorimetric array serve as recognition elements that cross-react with ammonia, capturing the optical fingerprint information on breath ammonia by mimicking the sophisticated olfactory structure of mammals. The Euclidean distance (ED) is used to quantitatively describe the ammonia concentration between 1 ppm and 10 ppm, indicating that there is a linear relationship between the ammonia concentration and the ED response (R2 = 0.988). The K-NN algorithm based on RGB response features aids in the analysis of the target ammonia level and achieves a prediction accuracy of 96%. This study integrates colorimetry, Janus design, and machine learning to present a wearable and portable sensing system for breath ammonia analysis.

Exosomes have received considerable attention as potent reference markers for the diagnosis of various neoplasms due to their close and direct relationship with the proliferation, adhesion, and migration of tumor. The ultrasensitive detection of cancer-derived low-abundance exosomes is imperative, but still a great challenge. Herein, we report an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on the DNA-bio-bar-code and hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-mediated dual signal amplification for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer-derived exosomes. In this system, two types of aptamers were modified on the magnetic nanoprobe (MNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with numerous bio-bar-code DNA, respectively, which formed "sandwich" structures in the presence of specific target exosomes. The "sandwich" structures were separated under magnetic field, and the numerous bio-bar-code DNA were released by dissolving AuNPs. The released bio-bar-code DNA triggered the HCR procedure to produce a good deal of long DNA duplex structure for embedding in hemin, which generated strong ECL signal in the presence of coreactors for ultrasensitive detection of exosomes. Under the optimal conditions, it exhibited a good linearly of exosomes ranging from 10 to 104 exosomes particle µL-1 with limit of detection down to 5.01 exosome particle µL-1. Furthermore, the high ratio of ECL signal and minor change of ECL intensity indicated the good specificity, stability, and repeatability of this ECL biosensor. Given the good performance for exosome analysis, this ultrasensitive ECL biosensor has a promising application in the clinical diagnosis of early cancers.

Currently, CRISPR/Cas-based molecular diagnostic techniques usually rely on the introduction of nucleic acid amplification to improve their sensitivity, which is usually more time-consuming, susceptible to aerosol contamination, and therefore not suitable for at-home molecular testing. In this research, we developed an advanced CRISPR/Cas13a-Cas12a-based lateral flow assay that facilitated the ultrasensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA directly from samples, without the need for nucleic acid amplification. This method was called CRISPR LFA enabling at-home RNA testing (CLEAR). CLEAR used a novel cascade mechanism with specially designed probes that fold into hairpin structures, enabling visual detection of SARS-CoV-2 sequences down to 1 aM sensitivity levels. More importantly, CLEAR had a positive coincidence rate of 100% and a negative coincidence rate of 100% for clinical nasopharyngeal swabs from 16 patients. CLEAR was particularly suitable for at-home molecular testing, providing a low-cost, user-friendly solution that can efficiently distinguish between different SARS-CoV-2 variants. CLEAR overcame the common limitations of high sensitivity and potential contamination associated with traditional PCR-based systems, making it a promising tool for widespread public health application, especially in environments with limited access to laboratory resources.
RESUMEN
Ketogenic diets have attracted substantial interest in the treatment of chronic diseases, but there are health risks with long-term regimes. Despite the advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic methods in modern medicine, there is a huge gap in personalized health management of this dietary strategy. Hence, we present a wearable microneedle biosensor for real-time ketone and glucose monitoring. The microneedle array possesses excellent mechanical properties, allowing for consistent sampling of interstitial biomarkers while reducing the pain associated with skin puncture. Vertical graphene with outstanding electrical conductivity provides the resulting sensor with a high sensitivity of 234.18 µA mM-1 cm-2 and a low limit detection of 1.21 µM. When this fully integrated biosensor was used in human volunteers, it displayed an attractive analytical capability for tracking the dynamic metabolite levels. Moreover, the results of the on-body evaluation established a significant correlation with commercial blood measurements. Overall, this cost-effective and efficient sensing platform can accelerate the application of a ketogenic diet in personal nutrition and wellness management.

Due to their highly exposed active sites and high aspect ratio caused by their substantial lateral dimension and thin thickness, two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets are currently considered a potential hybrid material for electrochemical sensing. Herein, we present a nickel-based porphyrinic MOF nanosheet as a versatile and robust platform with an enhanced electrochemical detection performance. It is important to note that the nickel porphyrin ligand reacted with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O in a solvothermal process, with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acting as the surfactant to control the anisotropic development of creating a 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet structure. To realize the exceptional selectivity, sensitivity, and stability of the synthesized 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet, a laser-induced graphene electrode was modified with the MOF nanosheet and employed as a sensor for the detection of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). With a detection range of 0.5-200 µM for differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and 0.9-300 µM for cyclic voltammetry (CV), the proposed sensor demonstrated enhanced electrochemical performance, with the limit of detection (LOD) for DPV and CV as 0.1 and 0.3 µM, respectively. The outstanding outcome of the sensor is attributed to the 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet's substantial active surface area, innate catalytic activity, and superior adsorption capacity. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the proposed electrode sensor will make it possible to create high-performance electrochemical sensors for environmental point-of-care testing since it successfully detected p-NP in real sample analysis.
RESUMEN
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel inorganic-organic hybridized crystals with a wide range of applications. In the last twenty years, fluorescence sensing based on MOFs has attracted much attention. MOFs can exhibit luminescence from metal nodes, ligands or introduced guests, which provides an excellent fluorescence response in sensing. However, single-signal emitting MOFs are susceptible to interference from concentration, environment, and excitation intensity, resulting in poor accuracy. To overcome the shortcomings, dual-emission MOF-based ratiometric fluorescence sensors have been proposed and rapidly developed. In this review, we first introduce the luminescence mechanisms, synthetic methods, and detection mechanisms of dual-emission MOFs, highlight the strategies for constructing ratiometric fluorescence sensors based on dual-emission MOFs, and classify them into three categories: intrinsic dual-emission and single-emission MOFs with luminescent guests, and non-emission MOFs with other luminescent materials. Then, we summarize the recent advances in dual-emission MOF-based ratiometric fluorescence sensors in various analytical industries. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and prospects for the future development of these sensors.

A Ti3C2TxMXene-based biosensor has been developed and the photocatalytic atom transfer radical polymerization (photo ATRP) amplification strategy applied to detect target miRNA-21 (tRNA). Initially, Ti3C2TxMXene nanosheets were synthesized from the Ti3AlC2 MAX precursor via selective aluminum etching. Then, functionalization of Ti3C2TxMXene nanosheets with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) via silylation reactions to facilitate covalent bonding with hairpin DNA biomolecules specifically designed for tRNA detection. Upon binding with the tRNA, the hairpin DNA liberated the azide (N3) group, initiating a click reaction to affix to the photo ATRP initiator. Through the ATRP photoreaction, facilitated by an organic photoredox catalyst and light, a significant amount of ferrocenyl methyl methacrylate (FMMA) monomer was immobilized on the electrode. Therefore, the electrochemical signal is amplified. The electrochemical efficacy of the biosensor was assessed using square wave voltammetry (SWV). Under optimized conditions, the biosensor demonstrated remarkable sensitivity in detecting tRNA, with a linear detection range from 0.01 fM to 10 pM and a detection limit of 2.81 aM. The findings elucidate that the developed biosensor, in conjunction with the photo ATRP strategy, offers reproducibility, stability, and increased sensitivity, underscoring its potential applications within the experimental medical sector of the biomolecular industry.

Accurate quantitative detection of tracing nucleic acids remains a great challenge in cancer genetic testing. It is crucial to propose a low-cost and highly sensitive direct gene detection method for cancer prevention and treatment. Herein, this work reports an ultrasensitive biosensor via a ferritin-enhanced atom-transfer radical polymerization (Ft-ATRP) process. Intriguingly, microRNA-21, an early marker of lung cancer, can be detected without being transcribed in advance by an innovative signal amplification strategy using ferritin-mediated aggregation of hydrophilic nitroxide radical monomers as an electrochemical biosensor. The sensor uses peptide nucleic acid probes modified on a gold electrode to accurately bind the target lung cancer marker in the sample, and then ferritin, which is naturally present in human blood, induces Ft-ATRP on the electrode surface under mild conditions. Many of 4-methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl free radical (MATMP) monomers with electrochemical signals are combined into polymeric chains to be modified on target assays. The limit of detection (LOD) of microRNA-21 is as low as 6.03 fM, and the detection concentration ranges from 0.01 to 100 pM (R2 = 0.994). The RNA biosensor can realize great performance analysis of complicated samples in simple operation, in addition, the detection process used by the catalyst, polymers containing electrochemical signals, and the electrolyte solution all have good water solubility. The superior performance of the RNA biosensor demonstrates its potential to screen and identify lung cancer in target patients.

Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are widely used as fluorescent probes in biomedical sensing and imaging due to their versatile optical properties and low cytotoxicity. Surface engineering of gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) aims to design a surface with versatile physicochemical performances, but previous investigations have primarily focused on the acquisition of the "brightest" species. This has resulted in other types of Au NC being neglected. In the present study, our group prepared a series of Au NCs that were rich in surface Au(0), using the "aged" form of bovine serum albumin (BSA) via controlling the pH during synthesis. We found that slight increases of alkalinity during synthesis over that which produced Au NCs with the most intensive photoluminescence generated the "darkest" Au NCs, which exhibited the strongest absorption. These Au NCs included more Au atoms and had a higher Au(0) content. Furthermore, the addition of Au3+ quenched the emission of the "brightest" Au NCs, but increased that of the "darkest" Au NCs. The increased Au(I) proportion observed in the Au3+-treated "darkest" Au NCs resulted in a novel comproportionation-induced emission enhancement effect, which we utilized to construct a "turn-on" ratiometric sensor for toxic Au3+. The addition of Au3+ generated simultaneous, opposite effects on blue-emissive diTyr BSA residues and red-emissive Au NCs. After optimization, we successfully constructed ratiometric sensors for Au3+ with high sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy. This study will inspire a new pathway to redesign the protein-framed Au NCs and analytical methodology via comproportionation chemistry.

The level of cortisol can reflect people's psychological stress, help diagnose adrenal gland diseases, and is also related to several mental diseases. In this study, we developed a cortisol monoclonal antibody-oriented approach to modify an immunosensor for wearable label-free and persistent sweat cortisol detection. On such an antibody-oriented immunosensor, the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region is partially inserted within the metal-organic framework (MOF), and antibody-binding regions of the cortisol monoclonal antibody (Cmab) were exposed on the MOF surface via selective growth and self-assembly. Such ordered and oriented embedding of antibodies in the MOF resulted in excellent antibody activity and improved stability and antigen-binding capacity. We also engineered the full integrated system for on-body sweat cortisol biosensing performance in several volunteers, and the results indicated that this wearable sensor is suitable for practical cortisol detection with a good linear detection range from 1 pg/mL to 1 µg/mL with a lower limit of detection of 0.26 pg/mL. Moreover, the wearable sensor demonstrated good persistence in detecting cortisol, with only 4.1% decay after 9 days of storage. The present work represents a simple oriented antibody assembling approach to improve the stability of antibodies, providing an important step toward long-term continuous sweat biomarker detection.

Luminescent gold nanoclusters (GNCs) are a class of attractive quantum-sized nanomaterials bridging the gap between organogold complexes and gold nanocrystals. They typically have a core-shell structure consisting of a Au(I)-organoligand shell-encapsulated few-atom Au(0) core. Their luminescent properties are greatly affected by their Au(I)-organoligand shell, which also supports the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. However, so far, the luminescent Au nanoclusters encapsulated with the organoligands containing phosphoryl moiety have rarely been reported, not to mention their AIE. In this study, coenzyme A (CoA), an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) analogue that is composed of a bulky 5-phosphoribonucleotide adenosine moiety connected to a long branch of vitamin B5 (pantetheine) via a diphosphate ester linkage and ubiquitous in all living organisms, has been used to synthesize phosphorescent GNCs for the first time. Interestingly, the synthesized phosphorescent CoA@GNCs could be further induced to generate AIE via the PO32- and Zr4+ interactions, and the observed AIE was found to be highly specific to Zr4+ ions. In addition, the enhanced phosphorescent emission could be quickly turned down by dipicolinic acid (DPA), a universal and specific component and also a biomarker of bacterial spores. Therefore, a Zr4+-CoA@GNCs-based DPA biosensor for quick, facile, and highly sensitive detection of possible spore contamination has been developed, showing a linear concentration range from 0.5 to 20 µM with a limit of detection of 10 nM. This study has demonstrated a promising future for various organic molecules containing phosphoryl moiety for the preparation of AIE-active metal nanoclusters.

Active enrichment can detect nucleic acid at ultra-low concentrations without relatively time-consuming polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is an important development direction for future rapid nucleic acid detection. Here, we reported an integrated active enrichment platform for direct hand-held detection of nucleic acid of COVID-19 in nanoliter samples without PCR. The platform consists of a capillary-assisted liquid-carrying system for sampling, integrated circuit system for ultrasound output, and cell-phone-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) system. Considering the acoustic responsiveness and SERS-enhanced performance, gold nanorods were selected for biomedical applications. Functionalized gold nanorods can effectively capture and enrich biomarkers under ultrasonic aggregation. Such approaches can actively assemble gold nanorods in 1-2 s and achieved highly sensitive (6.15 × 10-13 M) SERS detection of COVID-19 biomarkers in nanoliter (10-7 L) samples within 5 min. We further demonstrated the high stability, repeatability, and selectivity of the platform, and validated its potential for the detection of throat swab samples. This simple, portable, and ultra-trace integrated active enrichment detection platform is a promising diagnostic tool for the direct and rapid detection of COVID-19.

Constructing robust and efficient luminophores is of significant importance in the development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) amplification strategies. Inspired by the resonance energy transfer in natural light-harvesting systems, we propose a novel ECL amplification system based on ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET), which integrates two luminophores, benzimidazole (BIM) and zinc(II) tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (ZnTCPP), into one framework. Through disassembling and reconstruction processes, numerous BIM surround ZnTCPP in the constructed ZIF-9-ZnTCPP. Combined with the overlapped spectra between the emission of BIM and the absorption of ZnTCPP, the energy of multiple BIM (donor) can be concentrated to a single ZnTCPP (acceptor) to amplify the ECL emission of the acceptor. This work provides a convenient way to design an efficient ECL-RET system, which initiates a brand-new chapter in the development of ECL amplification strategies.
RESUMEN
A novel metal-organic framework (MOF)-on-MOF dual enzyme-mimic nanozyme was designed as enhanced cascade signal amplification for the colorimetric and chemiluminescent (CL) dual-mode aptasensing. The MOF-on-MOF hybrid is composed of MOF-818 with catechol oxidase-like activity and iron porphyrin MOF [PMOF(Fe)] with peroxidase-like activity, called MOF-818@PMOF(Fe). MOF-818 can catalyze the 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol substrate and produce H2O2 in situ. Subsequently, PMOF(Fe) catalyzes H2O2 to produce reactive oxygen species, which oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine or luminol to produce color or luminescence. Thanks to the nano-proximity effect and the confinement effect, the efficiency of the biomimetic cascade catalysis is greatly improved, which in turn generates enhanced colorimetric and CL signals. Taking the detection of chlopyrifos as an example, the prepared dual enzyme-mimic MOF nanozyme is combined with the aptamer with specific recognition ability to develop a colorimetric/CL dual-mode aptasensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of chlorpyrifos. The proposed MOF-on-MOF dual nanozyme-enhanced cascade system may provide a new pathway for the further development of a biomimetic cascade sensing platform.

Cobalt-mediated radical polymerization is noted for its great level of control over the polymerization of acrylic and vinyl esters monomers, even at high molar mass. Vitamin B12, a natural bionic enzyme cobalt complex, involves the conversion of organic halides to olefins through chain-growth polymerization. In this work, the notion of R-Co(III) free radical persistent free radical effect and vitamin B12 circulation were first reported for the perception of ultralow abundance of microRNA-21, a lung cancer biomarker. Indeed, most Co-containing catalytic reactions can occur under mild conditions due to their minimal bond dissociation of the C-Co bond, with blue light irradiation. Based on the intrinsic stability of the vitamin B12 framework and recycling of the catalyst, it is evident that this natural catalytic scheme has potential applications in medicinal chemistry and biomaterials. In addition, this strategy, combined with highly specific recognition probes and vitamin B12 circulation-mediated chain-growth polymerization, has a detection limit as low as 910 aM. Furthermore, it is sensitive for sensing in serum samples containing biomarkers and shows great potential for RNA selection and amplification sensing in clinical samples.

The rational design of efficient nanozymes and the immobilization of enzymes are of great significance for the construction of high-performance biosensors based on nano-/bioenzyme catalytic systems. Herein, a novel V-TCPP(Fe) metal-organic framework nanozyme with a two-dimensional nanosheet morphology is rationally designed by using V2CTx MXene as a metal source and iron tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (FeTCPP) ligand as an organic linker. It exhibits enhanced peroxidase- and catalase-like activities and luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescent (CL) behavior. Based on the experimental and theoretical results, these excellent enzyme-like activities are derived from the two-site synergistic effect between V nodes and FeTCPP ligands in V-TCPP(Fe). Furthermore, a confined catalytic system is developed by zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) coencapsulation of the V-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme and bioenzyme. Using the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as a model, our constructed V-TCPP(Fe)/AChE@ZIF confined catalytic system was successfully used for the colorimetric/CL dual-mode visual biosensing of organophosphorus pesticides. This work is expected to provide new insights into the design of efficient nanozymes and confined catalytic systems, encouraging applications in catalysis and biosensing.
