Innovative signal amplification and transduction play pivotal roles in bioanalysis. Herein, cascading CRISPR/Cas and the nanozyme are integrated with electronic amplification in an organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) to enable triple signal amplification, which is exemplified by the miRNA-triggered CRISPR/Cas13a system and polyoxometalate nanozyme for OPECT detection of miRNA-21. The CRISPR/Cas13a-enabled release of glucose oxidase could synergize with peroxidase-like SiW to induce catalytic precipitation on the photogate, inhibiting the interfacial mass transfer and thus the significant suppression of the channel current. The as-developed OPECT sensor demonstrates good sensitivity and selectivity for miRNA-21 detection, with a linear range from 1 fM to 10 nM and an ultralow detection limit of 0.53 fM. This study features the integration of bio- and nanoenzyme cascade and electronic triple signal amplification for OPECT detection.

Copy number variants (CNVs) are prevalent in both diploid and haploid genomes, with the latter containing a single copy of each gene. Studying CNVs in genomes from single or few cells is significantly advancing our knowledge in human disorders and disease susceptibility. Low-input including low-cell and single-cell sequencing data for haploid and diploid organisms generally displays shallow and highly non-uniform read counts resulting from the whole genome amplification steps that introduce amplification biases.

Iontronic sensors based on confined space have garnered significant attention due to their promising applications, ranging from single-cell analysis to studies. However, their limited sensitivity has constrained their effectiveness in studying molecular information during physiological and pathological processes. Here, we demonstrate an electrolyte-gated ionic transistor (EGIT) by integrating the confined ion transport behavior in a double-barreled micropipet with an electrolyte-gated transistor configuration, achieving highly sensitive and selective sensing.

The development of a sensory signal amplification approach is very crucial for rapid and precise detection of aflatoxin B (AFB). However, such approaches remain scarce due to the weak interactions between AFB and the sensing probes. Herein, the first example of a dual-excitation fluorescent platform for antibody-free AFB detection is reported, which is assembled by an ordered π-π stack of cationic perylene derivative (PTHA) and tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)].
