Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the current gold standard for pathogen diagnosis, with high detection sensitivity and accuracy. However, due to the need for specialized equipment, laboratories, and personnel, it is difficult to achieve rapid and immediate diagnosis during large-scale infectious disease outbreaks. Herein, an optimized CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection method was developed that reduces the CRISPR detection time to 15 min while maintaining high sensitivity. By using nucleic acid extraction-free and lyophilization techniques, the ‘sample-in-result-out’ detection of the two target genes of SARS-CoV-2, the human internal reference gene, and the negative quality control sample can be completed in 20 min, with a sensitivity of 0.5 copies/μL. Additionally, to facilitate the application, a smartphone-based reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA)-assisted CRISPR-rapid, portable nucleic acid detection device was developed, integrating functions such as heating, centrifugation, mixing, optical detection and result output. Process control, output, and uploading of detection results were conducted through smartphones. The device is not dependent on a power supply and can perform on-site rapid virus detection in resource-limited settings. Real-time uploading of results helps to rapidly implement epidemic prevention and control measures, providing an innovative means of detection, control, and prevention of virus-based infectious diseases.

To date, diagnostic decisions typically involve various forms of slope-based classification.

Herein, we establish performance benchmarks (total accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity) using common slope-based methods. We compare the performance of these benchmark methods with three different quadratic empirical distribution function statistical tests, finding significant improvements in diagnostic speed and accuracy when applied to a clinical data set. Two of the three statistical techniques, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Anderson-Darling tests, report the lowest time-to-result and highest total test accuracy.

Exosomes are crucial for transmitting information and network regulation in acupuncture, and their content could be essential for acupuncture's effects. However, there remains a critical need for a highly sensitive approach to detect exosomes in acupuncture therapy studies, particularly for rapid and precise analysis. Herein, a graphene oxide-aptamer hydrogel microneedle sensor (GOA-HMS) was designed for exosome point of care testing (POCT) on acupuncture treatment. The sensor was fabricated by cross-linking of aminophenylboronic acid (APBA)-modified sodium alginate with chondroitin sulfate and GO nanosheets conjugated with a fluorophore-modified nucleic acid aptamer, in which GO served as a quencher. In the absence of the target exosome, the aptamer binds tightly into the GO, quenching the fluorophore labels. In the presence of exosome, the aptamer binds to the targets, causing a conformational change which alters the distance the fluorescent moieties from the GO, leading to fluorescence recovery and the generation of fluorescent signals. This sensor showed a linear range of 10⁵-10⁹ particles/mL and has a detection limit of 1 particles/mL with an excellent precision of 4.3 % (RSD) for seven repeated detections of 10⁷ particles/mL exosome, demonstrating the feasibility of both point-of-care clinical diagnostics and high throughput. Meanwhile, typical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay further verified the measurement accuracy by this GOA-HMS. The GOA-HMS was successfully applied to exosome detection in acupuncture treatment, providing a non-invasive, in situ tool for monitoring patient responses in real-time and investigating acupuncture mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":259,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors and Bioelectronics","volume":"280 ","pages":"Article 117426"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759149","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}

It demonstrates robustness by detecting FEN1 activity at concentrations as low as 1 cell/μL and screening enzyme inhibitors. Additionally, the system was successfully used for intracellular imaging of FEN1 activity in cells and reliably measured APE1 activity in ovarian tissue samples, confirming its clinical applicability.

To meet the demand for sensitivity, ease of use, and portability in detecting TCs, we fabricated a green phosphorescent film consisting of crosslinked polymer-integrated carbon dots (named carbonized polymer dots, CPD) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymers for ultrasensitive sensing of TCs <em>via</em> the inner filter effect-mediated phosphorescence quenching and the disruption of the crosslink-enhanced emission (CEE) effect by TC. To create polymer structures on the carbon dots for interaction with PVA, CPDs were synthesized <em>via</em> low-temperature hydrothermal treatment using citric acid and cysteine. Compared to products with oxidized sulfur or no sulfur doping, the incorporation of nitrogen and sulfur in CPDs was found to effectively facilitate intersystem crossing, significantly enhancing phosphorescence. By measuring the phosphorescence properties of compounds inside and outside the dialysis bag at different dialysis times, we confirmed that crosslinking interactions between CPD and PVA polymers can create a rigid environment to amplify the phosphorescence of sub-luminophores (e.g., hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino groups) through the CEE effect. These features make the CPD/PVA film an effective tool for phosphorescence turn-off detection of TC, offering a wide linear detection range (1 nM–1 mM), a low limit of detection (0.7 nM), and good selectivity over potential interfering substances, such as metal ions, amino acids, fatty acids, and lactose. Our finding indicates that the TC-triggered phosphorescence quenching of the CPD/PVA film originates from TC-mediated IFE effect and TC-disrupted CEE effect.
