A label -free DNAzyme amplified biosensor is found to be highly selective and sensitive towards fluorescent detection of Pb ions in aqueous media. The DNAzyme complex has designed by the hybridization of the enzyme and substrate strand. In the presence of Pb, the DNAzyme activated and cleaved the substrate strand of RNA site (rA) into two oligonucleotide fragments. Further, the free fragment was hybridized with a complementary strand on the surface of MBs. After magnetic separation, SYBER Green I was added and readily intercalate with the dsDNA to gives a bright fluorescence signal with intensity directly proportional to the concentration of Pbions. A detection limit of 5 nM in Pb the detection range 0 to 500 nM was obtained. This label- free fluorescent biosensor has been successfully applied to the determination of environmental water samples. Then results open up the possibility for real-time quantitative detection of Pb with convenient potential applications in the biological and environmental field. Graphical Abstract.

A self-powered dual-electrode aptasensor was developed for the detection of tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The composite BiVO/ZnInS, which is capable of forming a Z-scheme heterojunction, was chosen as the photoanode, and the AuNP/CuBiO complex was chosen as the photocathode in photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection. The experiments showed that the constructed self-powered dual-electrode system had a good photoelectric response to white light, and the photocurrent signal of the photocathode was significantly enhanced under the influence of the photoanode.

Cell-free systems are powerful synthetic biology technologies that can recapitulate gene expression and sensing without the complications of living cells. Cell-free systems can perform more advanced functions when genetic circuits are incorporated. Here we expand cell-free biosensing by engineering a highly specific isothermal amplification circuit called polymerase strand recycling (PSR), which leverages T7 RNA polymerase off-target transcription to recycle nucleic acid inputs within DNA strand displacement circuits.

Background: Amplified imaging of microRNA (miRNA) in cancer cells is essential for understanding of the underlying pathological process. Synthetic catalytic DNA circuits represent pivotal tools for miRNA imaging. However, most existing catalytic DNA circuits can not achieve the reactant recycling operation in cells and in vivo.

Impedance-based biosensing has emerged as a critical technology for high-sensitivity biomolecular detection, yet traditional approaches often rely on bulky, costly impedance analyzers, limiting their portability and usability in point-of-care applications. Addressing these limitations, this paper proposes an advanced biosensing system integrating a Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensor with a high-gain amplification circuit and a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) implemented on FPGA hardware. This attempt combines SiNW-FET biosensing technology with FPGA-implemented deep learning noise reduction, creating a compact system capable of real-time viral detection with minimal computational latency.

A dual-mode detection platform utilizing colorimetric and Raman was developed based on the exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) strategy and a "core-satellite" structure constructed by bimetallic nanozymes to detect chloramphenicol (CAP). Initially, DNA-gated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating cascaded amplification were used to be nanocarriers for the colorimetric and Raman reporter molecules (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl; TMB). Subsequently, assembled DNA served as gatekeepers to create a stimulus-responsive DNA-gated MOF (TMB@DNA/MOF).
