Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a sub-class of non-coding RNAs approximately 20–24 nucleotides in length, have emerged as valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, and potential forensic evidence. Advances in lanthanide-doped nanoprobes offer great promise for sensitive miRNA detection due to their high photostability, long luminescence lifetimes, and large anti-Stokes shifts. This review provides a comprehensive overview of strategies for developing lanthanide-doped nanoparticle (LnNP)-based biosensors for miRNA detection. We begin by introducing miRNAs as biomarkers in disease diagnostics and discussing synthesis and surface modification approaches for upconversion nanoprobes. We then highlight various detection strategies using lanthanide-doped nanoprobes—including clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based, sandwich structure-based, energy transfer-based, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-based detection. Finally, we address current challenges, potential applications and future perspectives for LnNP-based biosensors and their potential for clinical translation.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
