A "signal-on" chemiluminescence biosensor was established for detecting thrombin. The thrombin aptamer1-functionalized magnetic sodium alginate (Malg-Apt1) hydrogel was synthesized by physical interaction between sodium alginate and Ca, and it was used in the biosensor for separating and enriching thrombin. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used to chelate with Ca to dissolve the hydrogel and release thrombin. A metalloporphyrinic metal-organic framework nanosheet, named as Cu-TCPP(Co) MOFs, was prepared as signal amplification strategy. Cu-TCPP(Co) MOFs/Au-ssDNA (ssDNA: single-strand DNA) was synthesized for controllable further amplification of chemiluminescent signal. The thrombin aptamer2-functionalized magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs-Apt2) were used as a matrix, and Cu-TCPP(Co) MOFs/Au-ssDNA was adsorbed on the MCNTs by the complementary pairing of the partial bases between ssDNA and Apt2. Compared with ssDNA, Apt2 has a stronger interaction with thrombin. Therefore, thrombin can trigger the release of Cu-TCPP(Co) MOFs/Au-ssDNA to achieve signal amplification. Under the optimal conditions, the biosensor could detect thrombin as low as 2.178 × 10 mol/L with the range from 8.934 × 10 to 5.956 × 10 mol/L and exhibited excellent selectively. Moreover, the "signal-on" chemiluminescence biosensor showed potential application for the detection of thrombin in body fluids.

The instability of the signal intensity of fluorescent biosensors and the false signals have been significant factors affecting the performance of biosensors. Herein, a novel signaling system is devised through the application of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with monomers containing the tetraphenylethylene (TPE) groups. TPE exhibits an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon in certain solvents, mainly due to the blockage of the rotation of its four benzene rings, which also exist in the aggregated state.

This work designed a DNA conformation-regulated hemin switch for rapid chemiluminescent (CL) detection of a monoclonal antibodies. This switch was performed with an affinity probe and an inhibition probe, which were conveniently prepared by hybridizing hemin-labeled DNA1 with KHL peptide-labeled DNA2 and binding biotin-labeled DNA3 to streptavidin, respectively. In the absence of the target antibody, streptavidin-DNA3 could hybridize with hemin-DNA1/KHL-DNA2 to release KHL-DNA2, which led to the loss of hemin activity due to the affinity hindrance of streptavidin-DNA3.

The sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers is crucial for early accurate diagnostics and therapy of cancer patients. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor-associated antigen derived from colon cancer and embryonic tissues. In this study, we have developed a label-free fluorescence biosensing platform for the quantification of CEA with the "turn-on" signal output.

Dopamine (DA) is a very imperative neurotransmitter in our body, since it contributes to several physiological processes in our body, for example, memory, feeling, cognition, cardiovascular diseases, and hormone secretion. Meanwhile, tyrosinase is a critical biomarker for several dangerous skin diseases, including vitiligo and melanoma cancer. Most of the reported chemiluminescent (CL) methods for monitoring DA and tyrosinase are signal-off biosensors.

This study aimed to develop a novel fluorescent aptasensor for the quantitative detection of zearalenone (ZEN), addressing the limitations of conventional detection techniques in terms of speed, sensitivity, and ease of use. Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized via the hydrothermal method, resulting in spherical particles with a diameter of 3.25 nm.
