In this work, a simple and label-free fluorescence “off” to “on” platform was designed for the sensitive and selective detection of microRNA (miRNA) in cancer cells. This method utilized a padlock DNA-based rolling circle amplification (P-RCA) to synthesize fluorescent poly(thymine) (PolyT) which acted as a template for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) within 10 minutes under mild conditions. While the repeated PolyT sequence was used as the template for CuNP synthesis, other non-PolyT parts (single strand-DNAs without the capacity to act as the template for CuNP formation) served as “smart glues” or rigid linkers to build complex nanostructures. Under the excitation wavelength of 340 nm, the synthesized CuNPs emitted strong red fluorescence effectively at 620 nm. To demonstrate the use of this method as a universal biosensor platform, lethal-7a (let-7a) miRNA was chosen as the standard target. This sensor could achieve highly sensitive and selective detection of miRNA in the presence of other homologous analogues for the combination of P-RCA with the fluorescent copper nanoparticle. Overall, this novel label-free method holds great potential in the sensitive detection of miRNA with high specificity in real samples.

In this study, a label-free fluorescent, enzyme-free, simple, highly sensitive AND logic gate aptasensor was developed for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with cohesive ends was attached to graphene oxide (GO) to form an aptasensor probe. ATP and single-stranded DNA were used as input signals. Fluorescence intensity of PicoGreen dye was used as an output signal. The biosensor-related performances, including the logic gate construction, reaction time, linearity, sensitivity, and specificity, were investigated and the results showed that an AND logic gate was successfully constructed. The ATP detection range was found to be 20 to 400 nM (R2 = 0.9943) with limit of detection (LOD) of 142.6 pM, and the sensitivity range was 1.846 × 106 to 2.988 × 106 M−1. This method for the detection of ATP has the characteristics of being simple, low cost, and highly sensitive.

Gas-phase etching and optical lithography were employed for the fabrication of a silicon nanoribbon chip (Si-NR chip). The quality of the so-fabricated silicon nanoribbons (Si-NRs) was monitored by optical Raman scattering spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that the structures of the Si-NRs were virtually defect-free, meaning they could be used for highly sensitive detection of biological macromolecules. The Si-NR chips were then used for the highly sensitive nanoelectronics detection of DNA oligonucleotides (oDNAs), which represent synthetic analogs of 106a-5p microRNA (miR-106a-5p), associated with the development of autism spectrum disorders in children. The specificity of the analysis was attained by the sensitization of the Si-NR chip sur-face by covalent immobilization of oDNA probes, whose nucleotide sequence was complementary to the known sequence of miR-106a-5p. The use of the Si-NR chip was demonstrated to al-low for the rapid label-free real-time detection of oDNA at ultra-low (~10−17 M) concentrations.
