Abstract
Biological nanopores feature functional elements on the outer surfaces (FEOS) and inner walls (FEIW), enabling precise control over ions and molecules with exceptional sensitivity and specificity. This provides valuable inspiration to scientists for the development of intelligent artificial nanochannel-based platforms, with a wide range of potential applications, including biosensors. Much effort has been dedicated to investigating the distinct contribution of FEOS and FEIW of multichannel membrane biosensors. However, the intricate interactions among neighboring pores in multichannel biosensors have presented challenges. This underscores the untapped potential of single nanochannels as ideal candidates in this field. Here, we employed single nanochannel membranes with different pore sizes to investigate the distinct contributions of FEIW and FEOS to single-nanochannel biosensors, combined with numerical simulations. Our findings revealed that alterations in the negative charges of FEIW and FEOS, induced by target binding, have differential effects on ion transport, contingent upon the degree of nanoconfinement. In the case of smaller pores, such as 20 nm, the ion concentration polarization driven by FEIW can independently control ion transport through the surface's electric double layer. However, as the pore size increases to 40-60 nm, both FEIW and FEOS become essential for effective ion concentration polarization. When the pore size reaches 100 nm, both FEIW and FEOS are ineffective and thus unsuitable for biosensors. Simulations demonstrate that the observed phenomena can be attributed to the interactions between the charges of FEIW and FEOS within the overlapping electric double layer under confinement. These results underscore the critical role of pore size as a key parameter in governing the functionality of probes within or on nanopore-based biosensors as well as in the design of nanopore-based devices.

Abstract
Enzyme-free hybridization chain reaction (HCR) technology is often used as a signal amplification tool for the detection of different targets. In this study, an ultrasensitive and label-free method for detecting miRNA-21 was developed using the nanopore ionic current rectification (ICR) technology coupled with HCR technology. The probe oligonucleotide (DNA1) was combined with the gold-coated nanopore through the Au-S bond to form a DNA1-functionalized gold-coated nanopore (DNA1-Au-coated nanopore). Since miRNA-21 is partially complementary to DNA1, it can be selectively recognized by DNA1-functionalized gold-coated nanopores. The target (miRNA-21) can induce the opening of hairpin DNA and HCR reaction after the introduction of hairpin DNA H1 and H2. The concentration of miRNA-21 will affect the combination of H1 and H2 on the inner wall of the nanopore, and its surface charge will change with the internal modification, thereby changing the ion current rectification ratio. Under the condition that the concentration of H1, H2 and HCR reaction time are constant, the change of ICR ratio is linearly correlated with the logarithm of miRNA-21 concentration within a certain range, which shows that the sensing strategy we designed can achieve target miRNA-21 detection. This ultrasensitive miRNA holds great promise in the field of cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The supramolecular recognition of anions is increasingly harnessed to achieve the self-assembly of supramolecular architectures, ranging from cages and polymers to (pseudo)rotaxanes. The cyanostar (CS) macrocycle has previously been shown to form 2 : 1 complexes with organophosphate anions that can be turned into [3]rotaxanes by stoppering. Here we achieved steric control over the assembly of pseudorotaxanes comprising the cyanostar macrocycle and a thread that is based, for the first time, on organo-pyrophosphonates. Subtle differences in steric bulk on the threads allowed formation of either [3]pseudorotaxanes or [2]pseudorotaxanes. We demonstrate that the threading kinetics are governed by the steric demand of the organo-pyrophosphonates and in one case, slows down to the timescale of minutes. Calculations show that the dianions are sterically offset inside the macrocycles. Our findings broaden the scope of cyanostar-anion assemblies and may have relevance for the design of molecular machines whose directionality is a result of relatively slow slipping.

Abstract
Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is an important biological functional anion and plays crucial roles in life science, environmental science, medicine, and chemical process. Quantification of PPi in water has far-reaching significance for life exploration, disease diagnosis, and water pollution control. The label-free quantitative detection of PPi anions with a nanofluidic sensing device based on a conical single nanochannel is demonstrated. The channel surface is functionalized with a synthetic PPi receptor, triazol-methanaminium-functionalized pillar[5]arene (TAMAP5), using carbodiimide coupling chemistry. Due to the specific binding between TAMAP5 and PPi, the functionalized nanochannel can discriminate PPi from other inorganic anions with high selectivity through ionic current recording, even in the presence of various interfering anions. The current response exhibits a linear correlation with PPi concentration in the range from 1 × 10-7 to 1 × 10-4 M with a limit of detection of 6.8 × 10-7 M. A spike-and-recovery analysis of PPi in East Lake water samples indicates that the proposed nanofluidic sensor has the ability to quantitate micromolar concentrations of PPi in environmental water samples.

Abstract
While the electrical models of the membrane-based solid-state nanopores have been well established, silicon-based pyramidal nanopores cannot apply these models due to two distinctive features. One is its 35.3° half cone angle, which brings additional resistance to the moving ions inside the nanopore. The other is its rectangular entrance, which makes calculating the access conductance challenging. Here, we proposed and validated an effective transport model (ETM) for silicon-based pyramidal nanopores by introducing effective conductivity. The impact of half cone angle can be described equivalently using a reduced diffusion coefficient (effective diffusion coefficient). Because the decrease of diffusion coefficient results in a smaller conductivity, effective conductivity is used for the calculation of bulk conductance in ETM. In the classical model, intrinsic conductivity is used. We used the top-down fabrication method for generating the pyramidal silicon nanopores to test the proposed model. Compared with the large error (≥25% in most cases) when using the classical model, the error of ETM in predicting conductance is less than 15%. We also found that the ETM is applicable when the ratio of excess ion concentration and bulk ion concentration is smaller than 0.2. At last, it is proved that ETM can estimate the tip size of pyramidal silicon nanopore. We believe the ETM would provide an improved method for evaluating the pyramidal silicon nanopores.

Abstract
Bioinspired nanochannels that manipulate ion transport have shown great potential for understanding complex physiological processes. Herein, inspired by the gating function of the biological ion channels, we designed and constructed artificial hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-activated nanochannels by decorating the inner pore surface with 4-(phenoxymethyl) benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester (PBAE). Benefiting from the specific hydrolysis reaction between H2O2 and PBAE in the confined nanochannels, the functionalized artificial nanochannels exhibited a highly selective and sensitive response toward H2O2. The system could switch between open/closed states in the presence/absence of H2O2 by the ionic current test. Meanwhile, comsol simulations were carried out to evidence the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide triggered regulation of ion transport by the nanochannels. It was found that the surface charge density of the nanochannels changed along with the addition of H2O2. Furthermore, based on the sensing strategy, the PBAE-functionalized nanochannel membrane was applied in the detection of H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment, which achieved highly selective distinguishing of cancerous cells from normal cells. This work provides a versatile method to construct bioinspired nanochannel-based platforms for detecting small reactive molecules and offers prospects for the application of disease diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
The change of surface charge density can cause many changes in physical or chemical properties and has been applied to design many sensitive sensors. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a negatively charged target in neutral or alkaline solutions. In this work, a microchannel-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for OTA detection based on this character had been designed. The charged target directly combined with functionalization layers of the microchannels, which caused surface charge density variation and therefore resulted in the change of ECL intensity of the (1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II)/tripropylamine system. The decrease of ECL intensity is linearly dependent on OTA concentration ranging from 0.5 to 4 ng mL-1 with a detection limit down to 0.17 ng mL-1. This strategy has the advantages of simple interface chemistry design and universality, which offers a guiding significance for the charged target assay.

Abstract
Bio-inspired polymeric nanochannel (also referred as nanopore)-based biosensors have attracted considerable attention on account of their controllable channel size and shape, multi-functional surface chemistry, unique ionic transport properties, and good robustness for applications. There are already very informative reviews on the latest developments in solid-state artificial nanochannel-based biosensors, however, which concentrated on the resistive-pulse sensing-based sensors for practical applications. The steady-state sensing-based nanochannel biosensors, in principle, have significant advantages over their counterparts in term of high sensitivity, fast response, target analytes with no size limit, and extensive suitable range. Furthermore, among the diverse materials, nanochannels based on polymeric materials perform outstandingly, due to flexible fabrication and wide application. This compressive Review summarizes the recent advances in bio-inspired polymeric nanochannels as sensing platforms for detection of important analytes in living organisms, to meet the high demand for high-performance biosensors for analysis of target analytes, and the potential for development of smart sensing devices. In the future, research efforts can be focused on transport mechanisms in the field of steady-state or resistive-pulse nanochannel-based sensors and on developing precisely size-controlled, robust, miniature and reusable, multi-functional, and high-throughput biosensors for practical applications. Future efforts should aim at a deeper understanding of the principles at the molecular level and incorporating these diverse pore architectures into homogeneous and defect-free multi-channel membrane systems. With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and biotechnology, we believe that many more achievements in nanochannel-based biosensors could be achieved in the near future, serving people in a better way.

Abstract
Inspired from bioprotein channels of living organisms, constructing "abiotic" analogues, solid-state nanochannels, to achieve "smart" sensing towards various targets, is highly seductive. When encountered with certain stimuli, dynamic switch of terminal modified probes in terms of surface charge, conformation, fluorescence property, electric potential as well as wettability can be monitored via transmembrane ionic current, fluorescence intensity, faraday current signals of nanochannels and so on. Herein, the modification methodologies of nanochannels and targets-detecting application are summarized in ions, small molecules, as well as biomolecules, and systematically reviewed are the nanochannel-based detection means including 1) by transmembrane current signals; 2) by the coordination of current- and fluorescence-dual signals; 3) by faraday current signals from nanochannel-based electrode. The coordination of current and fluorescence dual signals offers great benefits for synchronous temporal and spatial monitoring. Faraday signals enable the nanoelectrode to monitor both redox and non-redox components. Notably, by incorporation with confined effect of tip region of a needle-like nanopipette, glorious in-vivo monitoring is conferred on the nanopipette detector at high temporal-spatial resolution. In addition, some outlooks for future application in reliable practical samples analysis and leading research endeavors in the related fantastic fields are provided.

Abstract
Compared with free miRNAs in blood, miRNAs in exosomes have higher abundance and stability. Therefore, miRNAs in exosomes can be regarded as an ideal tumor marker for early cancer diagnosis. Here, a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-functionalized nanochannel biosensor for the ultrasensitive and specific detection of tumor exosomal miRNAs is proposed. After PNA was covalently bound to the inner surface of the nanochannels, the detection of tumor exosomal miRNAs was achieved by the charge changes on the surface of nanochannels before and after hybridization (PNA-miRNA). Due to the neutral characteristics of PNA, the efficiency of PNA-miRNA hybridization was improved by significantly reducing the background signal. This biosensor could not only specifically distinguish target miRNA-10b from single-base mismatched miRNA but also achieve a detection limit as low as 75 aM. Moreover, the biosensor was further used to detect exosomal miRNA-10b derived from pancreatic cancer cells and normal pancreatic cells. The results indicate that this biosensor could effectively distinguish pancreatic cancer tumor-derived exosomes from the normal control group, and the detection results show good consistency with those of the quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction method. In addition, the biosensor was used to detect exosomal miRNA-10b in clinical plasma samples, and it was found that the content of exosomal miRNA-10b in cancer patients was generally higher than that of healthy individuals, proving that the method is expected to be applied for the early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is an important reactive oxygen/nitrogen species that participates in a range of physiological and pathological processes by modulating ion flux through biological channels. Inspired by a ONOO--regulated K+ channel in vivo, herein, we describe the construction of a smart ONOO--driven nanosensor using a spirocyclic ring open/close reaction approach. The prepared nanosensor possessed a prominent ONOO- selectivity and sensitivity and rapid response (∼90 s) owing to the specific reaction between ONOO- and ligands on the nanosensor surface with a high ion rectification ratio (∼10) and ion gating ratio (∼4). Moreover, this nanosensor system also exhibits excellent stability and recyclability. Thus, these results will provide a new direction for the design of nanochannel-based sensors for future practical and biological applications.

Abstract
Sialylated glycans that are attached to cell surface mediate diverse cellular processes such as immune responses, pathogen binding, and cancer progression. Precise determination of sialylated glycans, particularly their linkage isomers that can trigger distinct biological events and are indicative of different cancer types, remains a challenge, due to their complicated composition and limited structural differences. Here, we present a biomimetic nanochannels system integrated with the responsive polymer polyethyleneimine-g-glucopyranoside (Glc-PEI) to solve this problem. By using a dramatic “OFF–ON” change in ion flux, the nanochannels system achieves specific recognition for N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, the predominant form of sialic acid) from various monosaccharides and sialic acid species. Importantly, different “OFF–ON” ratios of the conical nanochannels system allows the precise and sensitive discrimination of sialylated glycan linkage isomers, α2–3 and α2–6 linkage (the corresponding ion conductance increase ratios are 96.2% and 264%, respectively). Analyses revealed an unusual tug-of-war mechanism between polymer-glycan binding and polymer shrinkage. The low binding affinity of Glc-PEI for the α2–6-linked glycan caused considerable shrinkage of Glc-PEI layer, but the high affinity for the α2–3-linked glycan resulted in only a slight shrinkage. This competition mechanism provides a simple and versatile materials design principle for recognition or sensing systems that involve negatively charged target biomolecules. Furthermore, this work broadens the application of nanochannel systems in bioanalysis and biosensing, and opens a new route to glycan analysis that could help to uncover the mysterious and wonderful glycoworld. A glycan-responsive polymer-modified nanochannels system enables the precise discrimination of sialylated glycan linkage isomers via the different “OFF–ON” changes resulting from a “tug-of-war” between polymer-glycan binding and polymer shrinkage.![]()

Abstract
An innovative ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor using a 4-mercaptoboric acid (4-MPBA)-modified silver nanoparticle-decorated silicon wafer (Si@Ag NPs chip) was proposed for the ultrasensitive determination of F- ions in aqueous solutions. The principle of sensing strategy is based on fluoride-induced structural symmetry breaking and charge redistribution of phenylboronic acid, leading to a band shift of the C-C stretching mode of 4-MPBA from 1589 to 1576 cm-1. Accordingly, a ratiometric signal of the area ratio (A1576/A1589) between the fluoride-bond MPBA molecules and unoccupied MPBA molecules can be used for the quantitative response of F- ions. In comparison with other SERS-based sensing methods, this ratiometric method can avoid a large error resulting from the inhomogeneity of substrates. Under the optimized analytical conditions, the proposed SERS sensor possesses a quick response to F- ions within 2 min and exhibits high selectivity for F- ions with the determination limit of 10-8 M, which is over 3 orders of magnitude lower than the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline value for F- ions in drinking water. Of particular significance, the present sensor features favorable recyclability, which preserves suitable reproducibility during 6-time cyclic determination of F- ions. The practical utility of this sensing system for the determination of F- ions was tested with real water and toothpaste samples, and the results demonstrate that this sensor shows high recoveries (90-110%). Given its simple principle and easy operation, the present silicon-based SERS sensor could serve as a promising sensor for various practical applications.

Abstract
Solid-state nanopores are fascinating objects that enable the development of specific and efficient chemical and biological sensors, as well as the investigation of the physicochemical principles ruling the behavior of biological channels. The great variety of biological nanopores that nature provides regulates not only the most critical processes in the human body, including neuronal communication and sensory perception, but also the most important bioenergetic process on earth: photosynthesis. This makes them an exhaustless source of inspiration toward the development of more efficient, selective, and sophisticated nanopore-based nanofluidic devices. The key point responsible for the vibrant and exciting advance of solid nanopore research in the last decade has been the simultaneous combination of advanced fabrication nanotechnologies to tailor the size, geometry, and application of novel and creative approaches to confer the nanopore surface specific functionalities and responsiveness. Here, the state of the art is described in the following critical areas: i) theory, ii) nanofabrication techniques, iii) (bio)chemical functionalization, iv) construction of nanofluidic actuators, v) nanopore (bio)sensors, and vi) commercial aspects. The plethora of potential applications once envisioned for solid-state nanochannels is progressively and quickly materializing into new technologies that hold promise to revolutionize the everyday life.

Abstract
The heparin contamination by oversulfated chondroitin (OSCS) was at the origin of one major sanitary problem of last decade. Here we propose a novel strategy to detect OSCS from heparin solution based on conical nanopore functionalized with poly-L-lysine deposition to ensure its re-usability. This sensor is an excellent to detect low heparin concentration (from 25 ng/ml to 3 μg/ml) using the modification of ionic current rectification. It also allows following the kinetic of heparin degradation by heparinase with a good correlation with results obtained by classical methods. The sensor is sensitive to the inhibition of heparinase by OSCS until a concentration of 200 pg/ml representing 0.01% in weight in a heparin. This resolution is one order of magnitude lower than the one obtained by chromatography. For the first time, it was reached without fluorescence labeling.

Abstract
Inspired by the delicate functions of living organisms to transport or transform nitrite ions (NO2-), a bioinspired smart nanochannel that can realize harmless conversion of NO2- into N2 is developed by immobilizing a NO2--responsive functional molecule, p-phenylenediamine, onto a single conical polyethylene terephthalate nanochannel. Subsequently, the aromatic primary amine groups could be triggered to transform into a phenyldiazonium molecule based on the acid-activated NO2--binding process. The nanochannel exhibits specific selectivity and highly ultratrace recognition of NO2-. Fascinatingly, the transformed phenyldiazonium molecules could be triggered to generate phenol groups and release N2 by ultraviolet light activation, achieving NO2- harmless conversion. This system could provide inspiration to construct artificial nanofluidic devices for ion-sensing and nitrogen cycle fields.

Abstract
Ionic current rectification (ICR) phenomena within dual glass pipettes are investigated for the first time. We demonstrate that the ionic flow presents different behaviors in dual nano- and micropipettes when the two channels are filled with the same electrolyte KCl and hung in air. Bare dual nanopipettes cannot rectify the ionic current because of their geometric symmetry, but the ICR can be directly observed based on bare dual micropipettes. The phenomena based on dual micropipettes could be explained by the simulation of the Poisson-Nernst-Plank equation. After modification with different approaches, the dual nanopipettes have asymmetric charge patterns and show various ICR behaviors. They have been successfully employed to fabricate various nanodevices, such as ionic diodes and bipolar junction transistors. Due to the simple and fast fabrication with high reproducibility, these dual pipettes can provide a novel platform for controlling ionic flow in nano- and microfluidics, fabrication of novel nanodevices, and detection of biomolecules.

Park YS, Oh JM, Cho YK. Non-lithographic nanofluidic channels with precisely controlled circular cross sections. RSC Adv 2018; 8:19651-19658.

Abstract
Nanofluidic channels have received growing interest due to their potential for applications in the manipulation of nanometric objects, such as DNA, proteins, viruses, exosomes, and nanoparticles. Although significant advances in nanolithography-based fabrication techniques over the past few decades have allowed us to explore novel nanofluidic transport phenomena and unique applications, the development of new technologies enabling the low-cost preparation of nanochannels with controllable and reproducible shapes and dimensions is still lacking. Thus, we herein report the application of a nanofiber printed using a near-field electrospinning method as a sacrificial mold for the preparation of polydimethylsiloxane nanochannels with circular cross sections. Control of the size and shape of these nanochannels allowed the preparation of nanochannels with channel widths ranging from 70-368 nm and height-to-width ratios of 0.19-1.00. Capillary filling tests confirmed the excellent uniformity and reproducibility of the nanochannels. These results therefore are expected to inspire novel nanofluidic studies due to the simple and low-cost nature of this fabrication process, which allows precise control of the shape and dimensions of the circular cross section.

Abstract
Single conical nanopores were functionalised layer by layer with weak polyelectrolytes. We studied their influence on the ionic diode properties We have considered different couples of polyelectrolytes: poly-l-lysine/poly(acrylic acid) and poly(ethyleneimine)/poly(acrylic acid) as well as the influence of cross-linking. The results show that the nanopores decorated with poly(ethyleneimine)/poly(acrylic acid) exhibit an interesting behavior. Indeed, at pH 3, the nanopore is open only at the low salt concentration, while at pH 7, it is already open. The nanopores functionalized with poly-l-lysine/poly(acrylic acid) do not show an inversion of ionic transport properties with the pH as expected. After cross-linked to prevent large conformational changes, the ionic diode properties are dependent on the pH.

Abstract
Bioinspired smart asymmetric nanochannel membranes (BSANM) have been explored extensively to achieve the delicate ionic transport functions comparable to those of living organisms. The abiotic system exhibits superior stability and robustness, allowing for promising applications in many fields. In view of the abundance of research concerning BSANM in the past decade, herein, we present a systematic overview of the development of the state-of-the-art BSANM system. The discussion is focused on the construction methodologies based on raw materials with diverse dimensions (i.e. 0D, 1D, 2D, and bulk). A generic strategy for the design and construction of the BSANM system is proposed first and put into context with recent developments from homogeneous to heterogeneous nanochannel membranes. Then, the basic properties of the BSANM are introduced including selectivity, gating, and rectification, which are associated with the particular chemical and physical structures. Moreover, we summarized the practical applications of BSANM in energy conversion, biochemical sensing and other areas. In the end, some personal opinions on the future development of the BSANM are briefly illustrated. This review covers most of the related literature reported since 2010 and is intended to build up a broad and deep knowledge base that can provide a solid information source for the scientific community.

Abstract
It is believed that ion current rectification (ICR), a property that assures preferential ionic transport in one direction, can only be observed in nanopores when the pore size is comparable to the thickness of the electric double layer (EDL). Rectifying nanopores became the basis of biological sensors and components of ionic circuits. Here we report that appreciable ICR can also occur in highly charged conical, polymer mesopores whose tip diameters are as large as 400 nm, thus over 100-fold larger than the EDL thickness. A rigorous model taking into account the surface equilibrium reaction of functional carboxyl groups on the pore wall and electroosmotic flow is employed to explain that unexpected phenomenon. Results show that the pore rectification results from the high density of surface charges as well as the presence of highly mobile hydroxide ions, whose concentration is enhanced for one voltage polarity. This work provides evidence that highly charged surfaces can extend the ICR of pores to the submicron scale, suggesting the potential use of highly charged large pores for energy and sensing applications. Our results also provide insight into how a mixture of ions with different mobilities can influence current-voltage curves and rectification.

Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a nanofluidic device for the selective recognition of the cesium ion by exploiting host-guest interactions inside confined geometry. For this purpose, a host molecule, i.e., the amine-terminated p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-crown (t-BuC[4]C-NH2), is successfully synthesized and functionalized on the surface of a single conical nanopore fabricated in a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) membrane through carbodiimide coupling chemistry. On exposure to the cesium cation, the t-BuC[4]C-Cs+ complex is formed through host-guest interaction, leading to the generation of positive fixed charges on the pore surface. The asymmetrical distribution of these groups along the conical nanopore leads to the electrical rectification observed in the current-voltage (I-V) curve. On the contrary, other alkali cations are not able to induce any significant change in the rectification characteristics of the nanopore. The success of the chemical modification is monitored from the changes in the electrical readout of the nanopore. Theoretical results based on the Nernst-Planck and Poisson equations further demonstrate the validity of the experimental approach to the cesium-induced ionic conduction of the nanopore.

Abstract
Development of new principles and methods for cerebral ATP assay is highly imperative not only for determining ATP dynamics in brain but also for understanding physiological and pathological processes related to ATP. Herein, we for the first time demonstrate that micrometer scale ion current rectification (MICR) at a polyimidazolium brush-modified micropipette can be used as the signal transduction output for the cerebral ATP assay with a high selectivity. The rationale for ATP assay is essentially based on the competitive binding ability between positively charged polyimidazolium and ATP toward negatively charged ATP aptamer. The method is well responsive to ATP with a good linearity within a concentration range from 5 nM to 100 nM, and high selectivity toward ATP. These properties essentially enable the method to determine the cerebral ATP by combining in vivo microdialysis. The basal dialysate level of ATP in rat brain cortex is determined to be 11.32 ± 2.36 nM (n = 3). This study demonstrates that the MICR-based sensors could be potentially used for monitoring neurochemicals in cerebral systems.
