In recent years, DNA-based biosensors have shown great potential as the candidate of the next generation biomedical detection device due to their robust chemical properties and customizable biosensing functions. Compared with the conventional biosensors, the DNA-based biosensors have advantages such as wider detection targets, more durable lifetime, and lower production cost. Additionally, the ingenious DNA structures can control the signal conduction near the biosensor surface, which could significantly improve the performance of biosensors. In order to show a big picture of the DNA biosensor's advantages, this article reviews the background knowledge and recent advances of DNA-based biosensors, including the functional DNA strands-based biosensors, DNA hybridization-based biosensors, and DNA templated biosensors. Then, the challenges and future directions of DNA-based biosensors are discussed and proposed.

Annually, the Philippines is burdened by a high number of infections and deaths due to Dengue. This disease is caused by the Dengue virus (DENV) and is transmitted from one human host to another by the female mosquito. Being a developing country, most of the high-risk areas in the Philippines are resource-limited and cannot afford equipment for detection and monitoring.

Despite CRISPR-associated (Cas) nucleases have emerged as a versatile and highly programmable tool for biosensing and molecular diagnostics, the efficient manipulation of targeted CRISPR-Cas12a activation requires further improvement. Herein, we engineered a target-response DNA nanodevice called multi-activator-encoded DNA nanonet (MAIDA) which displayed efficient manipulation of CRISPR-Cas12a trans-activity for apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) activity monitoring. The MAIDA nanodevice was constructed by multi-activator loops (MA loops) encoded with three activator sequences and target-response loops (TR loops) encoded with three abasic sites to generate interlocked DNA nanonet.

This study focuses on identifying DNA sequences capable of selectively binding 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) or its analog, azathioprine (Aza), as a potential bioreceptor for biosensing methods. The approach used in the study is based on instrumental analysis methods such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to describe the interaction, its mode, and strength as well as selectivity of selected DNA sequences toward thiopurines. Thus, of the sequences tested, dsDNA GGCAGGACGGAG poses the ability to form complexes with 6MP, with an affinity constant of 2.

The CRISPR/Cas12a system has emerged as a powerful tool in biosensing due to its unique -cleavage activity. This study conducted an in-depth investigation of the modulatory capabilities of this system, particularly focusing on the 5'-end modifications of the activator strand, and found that introducing a hairpin structure (HP) at the 5'-end of the activator strand, which was designed based on the RESET effect, can effectively suppress the activator strand's ability to activate the -cleavage activity of the CRISPR/Cas12a system. This suppression is independent of the HP's relation to the activator strand and the type of linker used (DNA, RNA or peptide).
