Here we present a combination of a CRISPR/Cas13a-based reaction with a lateral flow biosensor, which enables the quantitative and colorimetric readout of preamplification-free miRNA detection at room temperature. In this work, the reaction principle and the structure of the lateral flow strip are well-designed to achieve surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)/colorimetric dual-signal \"turn-on\" response of target miRNA. The CRISPR/Cas13a Reporter is engineered with a DNA-RNA splicing structure to generate DNA cleavage products and reduce nonspecific collateral cleavage. Without the need for nucleic acid preamplification strategy, the developed CRISPR/Cas13a-driven lateral flow biosensor enables the microRNA-21 (miR-21) detection at room temperature with a readout time of 10 min and a total process time of less than 45 min, achieving an impressive limit of detection of 8.96 aM by SERS and 1 fM by visualization, respectively. Moreover, the platform demonstrated excellent recovery rates in spiked human serum samples. The proposed CRISPR/Cas13a-driven, dual-signal \"turn-on\"-responded lateral flow platform has the potential to simultaneously meet the requirements of convenient point-of-care visualization detection and more accurate and sensitive SERS detection of miR-21, offering a cost-effective, rapid, and reliable tool for early cancer diagnosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":259,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors and Bioelectronics","volume":"288 ","pages":"117850"},"PeriodicalIF":10.5,"publicationDate":"2025-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144803043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we combined environmental exposure and species sensitivity distributions, built on published data, with two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations to characterize the risk from MPs in sludge samples and in SAS, testing worst-case and realistic case scenarios of sludge behavior in soil. Contamination with MPs frequently exceeded the concentration likely to affect more than 5% of the species. Risk characterization showed that the worst-case MP scenario affects 39% of species, while the realistic scenario affects 15-18% of soil species, implying that the current state of sludge application fails to protect 95% of soil biota. The percentage of species affected by MPs approximately doubled in SAS.
