The preparation of UiO-66@CdTe@AuNPs composites is presented for the first time, which function as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing matrix and are conjugated to a three-way junction (TWJ). We propose an antibody-based specific recognition-induced neighbor-joining reaction that initiates the assembly of two molecularly designed nucleic acid enzymes (MNAzymes), to release an oligonucleotide that hydrolyzes TWJ through the mechanism of a toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR). Subsequently, a hybridization chain reaction application (HRCA)-based dendrimer is formed, which immobilizes a large number of quantum dots to generate a burst effect that reduces the photocurrent signal. As anticipated, the developed PEC biosensor showed excellent analytical performance for both mA-RNA and mC-RNA, with detection limits of 0.309 fM and 6.918 aM, respectively. The successful fabrication of this ultrasensitive and simultaneous PEC biosensor provides new insights for epigenetic research and the bioassay, mechanism investigation and clinical diagnosis of diseases associated with RNA methylation.

Herein, we fabricate the graphene oxide-supported nanofilms coated by roughened nanoboxes (GO@AuAgRNB) for the ultrasensitive and simultaneous determination of multiple stroke subtype-specific biomarkers. Initially, Au-Ag roughened nanobox (AuAgRNB) with abundant coupling and tip hotspots is prepared by the partial surface passivation strategy. AuAgRNB is uniformly, densely and firmly assembled onto graphene oxide (GO) by metal-sulfur bonds, generating extensive high-density hotspots.

Exosomes (Exos) are emerging as noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and progression monitoring of gastric cancer (GC). However, the heterogeneity discrimination and ultrasensitive quantification of Exos presents a considerable analytical challenge, thereby impeding severely their clinical application. Herein, we propose an integrated terahertz metasensing platform for the discrimination of Exos in distinct subtypes of GC in a single step-through the simultaneous evaluation of the category and richness level of Exos membrane proteins.

Agricultural products are usually contaminated by various mycotoxins, the rapid and sensitive detection of mycotoxins at the early stage is significant for food safety and human health. Here, we develop a rapid and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based vertical flow assay (VFA) for simultaneous detection of multiple mycotoxins by using FeO@Au magnetic SERS nanotags. In this competitive immunoassay, three test zones are designed on the sensing membrane, and modified with multiple capture antigens.

The development of a sensitive, selective, and wide-range biosensor for paraoxon detection is critically demanded due to its high toxicity and environmental prevalence. While complementary multimode biosensing platforms offer enhanced performance like high sensitivity and a wide detection range by synergizing multiple detection strategies, their implementation remains challenging because of compromised reaction compatibility. To address this, an integrated complementary colorimetric/fluorescence dual-mode biosensing platform based on a rationally designed cerium-assembled carbon dot phosphatase-like nanozyme hydrogel (Ce-CD) in tandem with 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (5,7-DMC) is presented for sensitive, selective, and wide-range detection of paraoxon.
