In this work, the nucleic acid detection of SARS-Cov-2 is extended to protein markers of the virus, utilizing bacteriophage. Specifically, the phage display technique enables the main protease of SARS-Cov-2 to control the self-replication of m13 phage, so that the presence of the viral protease can be amplified by phage replication as the first round of signal amplification. Then, the genome of replicated phage can be detected using polymer chain reaction (PCR), as the second round of signal amplification. Based on these two types of well-established biotechnology, the proposed method shows satisfactory sensitivity and robustness in the direct serum detection of the viral protease. These results may point to clinical application in the near future.

The development of intelligent nanotheranostic technology that integrates diagnostic and therapeutic functions holds great promise for personalized nanomedicine. However, most of the nanotheranostic agents exhibit "always-on" properties and do not involve an amplification step, which may largely limit imaging contrast and restrict therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we construct a novel nanotheranostic platform (Hemin/DHPs/PDA@CuS nanocomposite) by assembling DNA hairpin probes (DHPs) and hemin on the surface of PDA@CuS nanosheets that enables amplified fluorescence imaging and activatable chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of tumors.

In recent years, the regulation of anion-mediated chiral assemblies has gained significant interest. This study investigated the modulation of supramolecular chiroptical signals and chiral assembled structures in a triarylamine system containing a urea moiety through fluoride ion-urea bond interactions, aiming to understand the chiral sense amplification in supramolecular assemblies. Chiral triarylamine derivatives containing urea or amide units were synthesized and the self-assemblies were examined in the absence and presence of fluoride ions.

An entropy-driven catalysis (EDC) strategy is appealing for amplified bioimaging of microRNAs in living cells; yet, complex operation procedures, lacking of cell selectivity, and insufficient accuracy hamper its further applications. Here, we introduce an ingenious all-in-one entropy-driven DNA nanomachine (termed as AIO-EDN), which can be triggered by endogenous apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) to achieve tumor cell-selective dual-mode imaging of microRNA. Compared with the traditional EDC strategy, the integrated design of AIO-EDN achieves autocatalytic signal amplification without extra fuel strands.

Background: Most patients with prostate cancer inevitably progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), at which stage chemotherapeutics like docetaxel become the first-line treatment. However, chemotherapy resistance typically develops after an initial period of therapeutic efficacy. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer stem cells confer chemotherapy resistance via exosomes.

A spherical nucleic acid (SNA, AuNPs-aptamer) into CRISPR/Cas12a system combined with poly T-template copper nanoparticles as fluorescence reporter was fabricated to establish an amplification-free sensitive method for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) detection. This method, named PTCas12a, utilizes the concept that the bifunction of SNA recognizes the S.
