A sensitive biosensor for the detection of miR-141 has been constructed. The DNA-biosensor is prepared by first immobilizing the thiolated methylene blue-labeled hairpin capture probe (MB-HCP) on two-layer nanocomposite film graphene oxide-chitosan@ polyvinylpyrrolidone-gold nanourchin modified glassy carbon electrode. We used the hematoxylin as an electrochemical auxiliary indicator in the second stage to recognize DNA hybridization via the square wave voltammetry (SWV) responses that record the accumulated hematoxylin on electrode surfaces. The morphology and chemical composition of nanocomposite was characterized using TEM, FE-SEM, and FT-IR techniques. The preparation stages of the DNA-biosensor were screened by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The proposed DNA-biosensor can distinguish miR-141 from a non-complementary and mismatch sequence. A detection limit of 0.94 fM and a linear range of 2.0 -5.0 × 10 fM were obtained using SWV for miR-141 detection. The working potential for methylene blue and hematoxylin was -0.28 and + 0.15 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. The developed biosensor can be successfully used in the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by directly measuring miR-141 in human plasma samples. This novel DNA-biosensor is of promise in early sensitive clinical diagnosis of cancers with miR-141 as its biomarker.

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are recognized as significant contributors to microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC). Developing effective, economical, sensitive, and specific detection methods for SRB is crucial for understanding microbial corrosion mechanisms and for early monitoring. In this study, a novel dual-mode DNA biosensor was developed, utilizing a nanozyme-based fuel cell to enable self-powered detection of the DsrA gene in SRB, while demonstrating excellent sensitivity, specificity, and reliability.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) recently emerged as a life-threatening global pandemic that has ravaged millions of lives. The affected patients are known to frequently register numerous comorbidities induced by COVID-19 such as diabetes, asthma, cardiac arrest, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases, to name a few. The expensiveness and probability of false negative results of conventional screening tests often delay timely diagnosis and treatment.

The challenge of increasing food production while maintaining environmental sustainability can be addressed by using biofertilizers such as Azospirillum, which can enhance plant growth and colonize more than 100 plant species. The success of this biotechnology depends on the amount of plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with the plant during crop development. However, monitoring bacterial population dynamics after inoculation requires time-consuming, laborious, and costly procedures.

Background: Precise control of the biorecognition process in DNA biosensors, especially for those with signal amplification, remains a challenge. It is of great significance to introduce external stimuli into the DNA system for a controllable trigger of nucleic acid cascade amplification and further for excellent biosensors.
Results: In this study, a photo-initiated hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was designed for controllable and sensitive electrochemical biosensor via the incorporation of azobenzene moiety into the assembly unit.
