Kadan-Jamal K, Jog A, Sophocleous M, Dotan T, Frumin P, Kuperberg Goshen T, Schuster S, Avni A, Shacham-Diamand Y. Sensing of gene expression in live cells using electrical impedance spectroscopy and DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 252:116041. [PMID: 38401280 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
A novel electrical impedance spectroscopy-based method for non-destructive sensing of gene expression in living cells is presented. The approach used takes advantage of the robustness and responsiveness of electrical impedance spectroscopy and the highly specific and selective nature of DNA hybridization. The technique uses electrical impedance spectroscopy and gold nanoparticles functionalized with single-stranded DNA complementary to an mRNA of interest to provide reliable, real-time, and quantifiable data on gene expression in live cells. The system was validated by demonstrating specific detection of the uidA mRNA, which codes for the β-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme, in Solanum lycopersicum MsK8 cells. Gold nanoparticles were functionalized with single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides consisting of either a sequence complementary to uidA mRNA or an arbitrary sequence. The DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles were mixed with cell suspensions, allowing the gold nanoparticles to penetrate into the cells. The impedance spectra of suspensions of cells with gold nanoparticles inserted within them were then studied. In suspensions of uidA-expressing cells and gold nanoparticles functionalized with the complementary single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide, the impedance magnitude in the frequency range of interest was significantly higher (146 %) in comparison to all other controls. Due to its highly selective nature, the methodology has the potential to be used as a precision agricultural sensing system for accurate and real-time detection of markers of stress, viral infection, disease, and normal physiological activities.

Abstract
Each organism has a unique sequence of nitrogenous bases in in the form of DNA or RNA which distinguish them from other organisms. This characteristic makes nucleic acid-based detection extremely selective and compare to other molecular techniques. In recent years, several nucleic acid-based detection technology methods have been developed, one of which is the electrochemical biosensor. Electrochemical biosensors are known to have high sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the ease of miniaturization of this electrochemical technique has garnered interest from many researchers. On the other hand, the CRISPR/Cas12 method has been widely used in detecting nucleic acids due to its highly selective nature. The CRISPR/Cas12 method is also reported to increase the sensitivity of electrochemical biosensors through the utilization of modified electrodes. The electrodes can be modified according to detection needs so that the biosensor's performance can be improved. This review discusses the application of CRISPR/Cas12-based electrochemical biosensors, as well as various electrode modifications that have been successfully used to improve the performance of these biosensors in the clinical and food monitoring fields.

Abstract
This study presents a miniaturized sensor for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection of bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) in soybean plants. The sensor employs molecularly imprinted polymer technology to generate BPMV-specific nanocavities in porous polypyrrole. Leveraging the porous structure, high surface reactivity, and electron transfer properties of polypyrrole, the sensor achieves a sensitivity of 143 μA ng-1 mL cm-2, a concentration range of 0.01-100,000 ng/mL, a detection time of less than 2 min, and a detection limit of 41 pg/mL. These capabilities outperform those of conventional methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions. The sensor possesses the ability to distinguish BPMV-infected soybean plants from noninfected ones while rapidly quantifying virus levels. Moreover, it can reveal the spatial distribution of virus concentration across distinct leaves, a capability not previously attained by cost-effective sensors for such detailed viral data within a plant. The BPMV-specific nanocavities can also be easily restored and reactivated for multiple uses through a simple wash with acetic acid. While MIP-based sensors for plant virus detection have been relatively understudied, our findings demonstrate their potential as portable, on-site diagnostic tools that avoid complex and time-consuming sample preparation procedures. This advancement addresses a critical need in plant virology, enhancing the detection and management of plant viral diseases.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is an important topic in the study of global health issues, ranking fourth among women's cancer cases in the world. It is one of the nine major cancers that China is focusing on preventing and treating, and it is the only cancer that can be prevented through vaccination. Systematic and effective screening for human papilloma (HPV) infection, which is closely linked to the development of cervical cancer, can reduce cervical cancer incidence and mortality. In this paper, an electrochemical sensor was designed to detect HPV 16 using dual-signal amplification. An APTES-modified glassy carbon electrode was used for improved stability. Gold nanoparticles and a chain amplification reaction were combined for signal amplification. The limit of detection (LOD) of this electrochemical sensor was 1.731 × 10-16 mol/L, and the linear response of the target detector range was from 1.0 × 10-13 mol/L to 1.0 × 10-5 mol/L (R2 = 0.99232). The test of serum sample recovery showed that it has good anti-interference, and the performance of all aspects was improved to different degrees compared with the previous research from the team. The designed sensor is centered around the principles of low cost, high sensitivity and stability, which provides new ideas for the future development of cervical cancer prevention and electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Globally, food safety and security are receiving a lot of attention to ensure a steady supply of nutrient-rich and safe food. Nanotechnology is used in a wide range of technical processes, including the development of new materials and the enhancement of food safety and security. Nanomaterials are used to improve the protective effects of food and help detect microbial contamination, hazardous chemicals, and pesticides. Nanosensors are used to detect pathogens and allergens in food. Food processing is enhanced further by nanocapsulation, which allows for the delivery of bioactive compounds, increases food bioavailability, and extends food shelf life. Various forms of nanomaterials have been developed to improve food safety and enhance agricultural productivity, including nanometals, nanorods, nanofilms, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanolayers, and nanosheets. Such materials are used for developing nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nanomaterials to induce plant growth, genome modification, and transgene expression in plants. Nanomaterials have antimicrobial properties, promote plants' innate immunity, and act as delivery agents for active ingredients. Nanocomposites offer good acid-resistance capabilities, effective recyclability, significant thermostability, and enhanced storage stability. Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the targeted delivery and release of genes and proteins into plant cells. In this review article, we discuss the role of nanotechnology in food safety and security. Furthermore, we include a partial literature survey on the use of nanotechnology in food packaging, food safety, food preservation using smart nanocarriers, the detection of food-borne pathogens and allergens using nanosensors, and crop growth and yield improvement; however, extensive research on nanotechnology is warranted.

Abstract
Prevention of food spoilage, environmental bio-contamination, and pathogenic infections requires rapid and sensitive bacterial detection systems. Among microbial communities, the bacterial strain of Escherichia coli is most widespread, with pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains being biomarkers of bacterial contamination. Here, we have developed a fM-sensitive, simple, and robust electrocatalytically-amplified assay facilitating specific detection of E.coli 23S ribosomal rRNA, in the total RNA sample, after its site-specific cleavage by RNase H enzyme. Gold screen-printed electrodes (SPE) were electrochemically pre-treated to be productively modified with a methylene-blue (MB) - labelled hairpin DNA probes, which hybridization with the E. coli-specific DNA placed MB in the top region of the DNA duplex. The formed duplex acted as an electrical wire, mediating electron transfer from the gold electrode to the DNA-intercalated MB, and further to ferricyanide in solution, enabling its electrocatalytic reduction otherwise impeded on the hairpin-modified SPEs. The assay facilitated 20 min 1 fM detection of both synthetic E. coli DNA and 23S rRNA isolated from E.coli (equivalent to 15 CFU mL-1), and can be extended to fM analysis of nucleic acids isolated from any other bacteria.

Abstract
Given the widespread use of point-of-care testing for diagnosis of disease, micro-scale electrochemical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biosensors have become a promising area of research owing to its fast mass transfer, high current density and rapid response. In this study, a gold nanoparticles modified gold microelectrode (AuNPs/Au-Me) was constructed to determine the hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD)-related gene. The noble metal nanoparticles modification yielded ca. 7.4-fold increase in electroactive surface area of microelectrode, and the signal for HFMD-related gene was largely magnified. Under optimal conditions, the biosensor exhibited salient selectivity and sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.3 fM (S/N = 3), which is sufficient for clinical diagnosis of HFMD. Additionally, the developed AuNPs/Au-Me was successfully applied to determining the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified products of target gene. Thus, the electrochemical DNA biosensor possesses great potential in early-stage diagnosis and long-term monitoring of various disease.

Abstract
A rapid surge in world population leads to an increase in worldwide demand for agricultural products. Nanotechnology and its applications in agriculture have appeared as a boon to civilization with enormous potential in transforming conventional farming practices into redefined farming activities. Low-cost portable nanobiosensors are the most effective diagnostic tool for the rapid on-site assessment of plant and soil health including plant biotic and abiotic stress level, nutritional status, presence of hazardous chemicals in soil, etc. to maintain proper farming and crop productivity. Nanobiosensors detect physiological signals and convert them into standardized detectable signals. In order to achieve a reliable sensing analysis, nanoparticles can aid in signal amplification and sensor sensitivity by lowering the detection limit. The high selectivity and sensitivity of nanobiosensors enable early detection and management of targeted abnormalities. This study identifies the types of nanobiosensors according to the target application in agriculture sector.

Abstract
The effect of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic on global healthcare systems has underlined the importance of timely and cost-effective point-of-care diagnosis of viruses. The need for ultrasensitive easy-to-use platforms has culminated in an increased interest for rapid response equipment-free alternatives to conventional diagnostic methods such as polymerase chain reaction, western-blot assay, etc. Furthermore, the poor stability and the bleaching behavior of several contemporary fluorescent reporters is a major obstacle in understanding the mechanism of viral infection thus retarding drug screening and development. Owing to their extraordinary surface-to-volume ratio as well as their quantum confinement and charge transfer properties, nanomaterials are desirable additives to sensing and imaging systems to amplify their signal response as well as temporal resolution. Their large surface area promotes biomolecular integration as well as efficacious signal transduction. Due to their hole mobility, photostability, resistance to photobleaching, and intense brightness, nanomaterials have a considerable edge over organic dyes for single virus tracking. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of combining carbon-allotrope, inorganic and organic-based nanomaterials with virus sensing and tracking methods, starting with the impact of human pathogenic viruses on the society. We address how different nanomaterials can be used in various virus sensing platforms (e.g. lab-on-a-chip, paper, and smartphone-based point-of-care systems) as well as in virus tracking applications. We discuss the enormous potential for the use of nanomaterials as simple, versatile, and affordable tools for detecting and tracing viruses infectious to humans, animals, plants as well as bacteria. We present latest examples in this direction by emphasizing major advantages and limitations.

Abstract
The field of infectious disease diagnostics is burdened by inequality in access to healthcare resources. In particular, “point-of-care” (POC) diagnostics that can be utilized in non-laboratory, sub-optimal environments are appealing for disease control with limited resources. Electrochemical biosensors, which combine biorecognition elements with electrochemical readout to enable sensitive and specific sensing using inexpensive, simple equipment, are a major area of research for the development of POC diagnostics. To improve the limit of detection (LOD) and selectivity, signal amplification strategies have been applied towards these sensors. In this perspective, we review recent advances in electrochemical biosensor signal amplification strategies for infectious disease diagnostics, specifically biosensors for nucleic acids and pathogenic microbes. We classify these strategies into target-based amplification and signal-based amplification. Target-based amplification strategies improve the LOD by increasing the number of detectable analytes, while signal-based amplification strategies increase the detectable signal by modifying the transducer system and keep the number of targets static. Finally, we argue that signal amplification strategies should be designed with application location and disease target in mind, and that the resources required to produce and operate the sensor should reflect its proposed application, especially when the platform is designed to be utilized in low-resource settings. We anticipate that, based on current technologies to diagnose infectious diseases, incorporating signal-based amplification strategies will enable electrochemical POC devices to be deployed for illnesses in a wide variety of settings.

Abstract
The Ampelovirus Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) and the Nepovirus Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) are pathogens reported in many grapevine-growing areas all over the world, main causal agents of grapevine leafroll disease and grapevine fanleaf disease, respectively. Prevention of virus spread thanks to rapid diagnosis of infected plants is a key factor for control of both diseases. Although serological (e.g., enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-ELISA test) and molecular methods are available to reveal the presence of the viruses, they turn out to be quite expensive, time-consuming and laborious, especially for large-scale health screening. Here we report the optimization of a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) for GLRaV-3 and GFLV detection, based on an electrochemical transduction and a microfluidic multichamber design for measurements in quadruplicate and simultaneous detection of both targets. The LOC detect GLRaV-3 and GFLV at dilution factors more than 15 times higher than ELISA, providing a higher sensitivity in the detection of both viruses. Furthermore, the platform offers several advantages as easy-to-use, rapid-test, portability and low costs, favoring its potential application for large-scale monitoring programs. Compared to other grapevine virus biosensors, our sensing platform is the first one to provide a dose-dependent calibration curve combined with a microfluidic module for sample analysis and a portable electronics providing an operator-independent read-out scheme.

Abstract
Plant diseases and their diagnoses are currently one of the global challenges and cause significant impact to the economy of farmers and industries depending on plant-based products. Plant pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and pollution caused by the nanomaterial, as well as other important elements of pollution, are the main reason for the loss of plants in agriculture and in forest ecosystems. Presently, various techniques are used to detect pathogens in trees, which includes DNA-based techniques, as well as other microscopy based identification and detection. However, these methodologies require complex instruments and time. Lately, nanomaterial-based new biosensing systems for early detection of diseases, with specificity and sensitivity, are developed and applied. This review highlights the nanomaterial-based biosensing methods of disease detection. Precise and time effective identification of plant pathogens will help to reduce losses in agriculture and forestry. This review focuses on various plant diseases and the requirements for a reliable, fast, and cost-effective testing method, as well as new biosensing technologies for the detection of diseases of field plants in forests at early stages of their growth.

Abstract
Infectious plant diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, phytoplasma, and nematodes. Plant diseases have a significant effect on the plant quality and yield and they can destroy the entire plant if they are not controlled in time. To minimize disease-related losses, it is essential to identify and control pathogens in the early stages. Plant disease control is thus a fundamental challenge both for global food security and sustainable agriculture. Conventional methods for plant diseases control have given place to electronic control (E-monitoring) due to their lack of portability, being time consuming, need for a specialized user, etc. E-monitoring using electronic nose (e-nose), biosensors, wearable sensors, and 'electronic eyes' has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Detection, identification, and quantification of pathogens based on electronic sensors (E-sensors) are both convenient and practical and may be used in combination with conventional methods. This paper discusses recent advances made in E-sensors as component parts in combination with wearable sensors, in electronic sensing systems to control and detect viruses, bacteria, pathogens and fungi. In addition, future challenges using sensors to manage plant diseases are investigated.

Abstract
Recently, the demand for the sensitive detection of nanomaterials and biomolecules has been increasing for evaluating the toxicity of nanomaterials and early diagnosis of diseases. Although many studies have developed new detection assays, these are heavily influenced by the capabilities of the detection equipment. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to improve electrode performance by modifying the surface of the detection electrode using a simple method. Electrode surface modification was performed using carbon nanotubes (CNT) and porous gold nanostructures (NS) with excellent electrical and chemical properties. Through the simple physical deposition of CNT and electrochemical reduction of NS, the increasement of the electrode surface area was achieved. Because of the CNTs attached to the electrodes at the first step, the metal ions constituting the NS can adhere well to the electrodes. Nanoparticles with a porous structure can be generated through electrochemical reduction (cyclic voltammetry) of metal ions attached to electrodes. Consequently, the surface area of the electrode increased and electrochemical performance was improved (confirmed by atomic force microscopy, Nyquist plot and Bode plot). To quantitatively confirm the improvement of electrode performance according to the surface change through the proposed treatment technique, DNA was detected. Unlike previous surface modification studies, the developed surface treatment technique can be applied to a variety of detection equipment. To confirm this, the detection was performed using two detection devices with different operating principles. DNA detection using the two types of equipment confirmed that the detection limit was increased by approximately 1000-fold through applying a simple surface treatment. In addition, this method is applicable to detect various sizes of nanomaterials. The method proposed in this study is simple and has the advantage that it can be applied to various devices and various materials.

Abstract
Plant pathogens are a major reason of reduced crop productivity and may lead to a shortage of food for both human and animal consumption. Although chemical control remains the main method to reduce foliar fungal disease incidence, frequent use can lead to loss of susceptibility in the fungal population. Furthermore, over-spraying can cause environmental contamination and poses a heavy financial burden on growers. To prevent or control disease epidemics, it is important for growers to be able to detect causal pathogen accurately, sensitively, and rapidly, so that the best practice disease management strategies can be chosen and enacted. To reach this goal, many culture-dependent, biochemical, and molecular methods have been developed for plant pathogen detection. However, these methods lack accuracy, specificity, reliability, and rapidity, and they are generally not suitable for in-situ analysis. Accordingly, there is strong interest in developing biosensing systems for early and accurate pathogen detection. There is also great scope to translate innovative nanoparticle-based biosensor approaches developed initially for human disease diagnostics for early detection of plant disease-causing pathogens. In this review, we compare conventional methods used in plant disease diagnostics with new sensing technologies in particular with deeper focus on electrochemical and optical biosensors that may be applied for plant pathogen detection and management. In addition, we discuss challenges facing biosensors and new capability the technology provides to informing disease management strategies.

Abstract
The study aims at the Isolation, screening and antibacterial evaluation of Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives, an anticancer molecule from endophytic fungus Diaporthe caatingaensis MT192326 of the medicinal plant, Buchanania axillaris. Plant parts were collected from Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve forest, Tamil Nadu. The fungus was isolated using DEKM07 medium was used as the screening medium for the presence of CPT. The strain with the highest yield of CPT was identified at the molecular level by 18S rDNA sequencing. CPT was isolated and analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Thin layer chromatography, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, and Electron spray ionization-mass spectrometry. The compounds identified by ESI-MS from the fungal extract were studied for their antibacterial assays against procured MTCC bacterial pathogens. The maximum yield of 0.681 mg/L of CPT was produced by the fungus D.caatingaensis. CPT derivatives were identified at m/z of 305, 348 and 389 through ESI-MS analysis. Antibacterial studies revealed that the endophytic fungal extract compounds were studied for antibacterial activities of disc diffusion assay, exhibiting a growth inhibition range of 15-22 mm in nutrient agar plate medium. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration revealed the antibacterial potential at a lower concentration of 12.5-25 μg/ml with all bacteria studied. The relatively lower antimicrobial efficacy of partially purified bio-metabolites than the positive control streptomycin (3.125) concentration could be due to the presence of derivatives of the compounds that hinder the activity of the biometabolite. This is the first initiative to screen, isolate and analyze the antibacterial assays of CPT and derivatives from endophytic fungus D.caatingaensis of ethnopharmacologically important B.axillaris plant from STRF.

Voltammetric-based immunosensor for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:199.

Abstract
Since the COVID-19 disease caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) was declared a pandemic, it has spread rapidly, causing one of the most serious outbreaks in the last century. Reliable and rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19 are crucial to control and manage the outbreak. Here, a label-free square wave voltammetry-based biosensing platform for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal samples is reported. The sensor was constructed on screen-printed carbon electrodes coated with gold nanoparticles. The electrodes were functionalized using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) which was used for the immobilization of an antibody against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N protein). The binding of the immunosensor with the N protein caused a change in the electrochemical signal. The detection was realised by measuring the change in reduction peak current of a redox couple using square wave voltammetry at 0.04 V versus Ag ref. electrode on the immunosensor upon binding with the N protein. The electrochemical immunosensor showed high sensitivity with a linear range from 1.0 pg.mL−1 to 100 ng.mL−1 and a limit of detection of 0.4 pg.mL−1 for the N protein in PBS buffer pH 7.4. Moreover, the immunosensor did not exhibit significant response with other viruses such as HCoV, MERS-CoV, Flu A and Flu B, indicating the high selectivity of the sensor for SARS-CoV-2. However, cross reactivity of the biosensor with SARS-CoV is indicated, which gives ability of the sensor to detect both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. The biosensor was successfully applied to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus in clinical samples showing good correlation between the biosensor response and the RT-PCR cycle threshold values. We believe that the capability of miniaturization, low-cost and fast response of the proposed label-free electrochemical immunosensor will facilitate the point-of-care diagnosis of COVID 19 and help prevent further spread of infection.

Abstract
New methodologies based on the principle of "sewage epidemiology" have been successfully applied before in the detection of illegal drugs. The study describes the idea of early detection of a virus, e.g., SARS-CoV-2, in wastewater in order to focus on the area of virus occurrence and supplement the results obtained from clinical examination. By monitoring temporal variation in viral loads in wastewater in combination with other analysis, a virus outbreak can be detected and its spread can be suppressed early. The use of biosensors for virus detection also seems to be an interesting application. Biosensors are highly sensitive, selective, and portable and offer a way for fast analysis. This manuscript provides an overview of the current situation in the area of wastewater analysis, including genetic sequencing regarding viral detection and the technological solution of an early warning system for wastewater monitoring based on biosensors.

Abstract
Human activities significantly contribute to worldwide spread of phytopathological adversities. Pathogen-related food losses are today responsible for a reduction in quantity and quality of yield and decrease value and financial returns. As a result, “early detection” in combination with “fast, accurate, and cheap” diagnostics have also become the new mantra in plant pathology, especially for emerging diseases or challenging pathogens that spread thanks to asymptomatic individuals with subtle initial symptoms but are then difficult to face. Furthermore, in a globalized market sensitive to epidemics, innovative tools suitable for field-use represent the new frontier with respect to diagnostic laboratories, ensuring that the instruments and techniques used are suitable for the operational contexts. In this framework, portable systems and interconnection with Internet of Things (IoT) play a pivotal role. Here we review innovative diagnostic methods based on nanotechnologies and new perspectives concerning information and communication technology (ICT) in agriculture, resulting in an improvement in agricultural and rural development and in the ability to revolutionize the concept of “preventive actions”, making the difference in fighting against phytopathogens, all over the world.

Abstract
Detection of pathogens, e.g., bacteria and viruses, is still a big challenge in analytical medicine due to their vast number and variety. Developing strategies for rapid, inexpensive, specific, and sensitive detection of the pathogens using nanomaterials, integrating with microfluidics devices, amplification methods, or even combining these strategies have received significant attention. Especially, after the health-threatening COVID-19 outbreak, rapid and sensitive detection of pathogens became very critical. Detection of pathogens could be realized with electrochemical, optical, mass sensitive, or thermal methods. Among them, electrochemical methods are very promising by bringing different advantages, i.e., they exhibit more versatile detection schemes and real-time quantification as well as label-free measurements, which provides a broader application perspective. In this review, we discuss the recent advances for the detection of bacteria and viruses using electrochemical biosensors. Moreover, electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection were broadly reviewed in terms of analyte, bio-recognition and transduction elements. Different fabrication techniques, detection principles, and applications of various pathogens with the electrochemical biosensors were also discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors combine the selectivity of electrochemical signal transducers with the specificity of biomolecular recognition strategies. Although they have been broadly studied in different areas of diagnostics, they are not yet fully commercialized. During the COVID-19 pandemic, electrochemical platforms have shown the potential to address significant limitations of conventional diagnostic platforms, including accuracy, affordability, and portability. The advantages of electrochemical platforms make them a strong candidate for rapid point-of-care detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection by targeting not only viral RNA but antigens and antibodies. Herein, we reviewed advancements in electrochemical biosensing platforms towards the detection of SARS-CoV-2 through studying similar viruses. The complicated nature of conventional tests restricted the availability and distribution of COVID-19 tests. Electrochemical detection methods can stand as potential rapid tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Electrochemical biosensors combine signal selectivity and molecular specificity for rapid accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2. The electrochemical biosensors demonstrate trail-blazing sensitivity and specificity, outmatching conventional assays.

Abstract
Pandemics require a fast and immediate response to contain potential infectious carriers. In the recent 2020 Covid-19 worldwide pandemic, authorities all around the world have failed to identify potential carriers and contain it on time. Hence, a rapid and very sensitive testing method is required. Current diagnostic tools, reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time PCR (qPCR), have its pitfalls for quick pandemic containment such as the requirement for specialized professionals and instrumentation. Versatile electrochemical DNA/RNA sensors are a promising technological alternative for PCR based diagnosis. In an electrochemical DNA sensor, a nucleic acid hybridization event is converted into a quantifiable electrochemical signal. A critical challenge of electrochemical DNA sensors is sensitive detection of a low copy number of DNA/RNA in samples such as is the case for early onset of a disease. Signal amplification approaches are an important tool to overcome this sensitivity issue. In this review, the authors discuss the most recent signal amplification strategies employed in the electrochemical DNA/RNA diagnosis of pathogens.

Abstract
The present research reported a new electrochemical biosensor based on ds-DNA/Eu3+ doped NiO/CPE to detect amsacrine. Therefore, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, docking, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) have been used to study the interactions between amsacrine and dsDNA. Then, experimental parameters affected DNA immobilization and interactions between amsacrine and ds-DNA have been optimized. Afterwards, guanine oxidation peak current of ds-DNA has been chosen as a signal to analyze amsacrine in a concentration ranging between 0.1 and 100.0 μM and finally, limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 μM has been calculated at optimal condition. Ultimately, it was found that the suggested biosensor is able to determine amsacrine in human serum and urine samples successfully.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are caused from pathogens, which need a reliable and fast diagnosis. Today, expert personnel and centralized laboratories are needed to afford much time in diagnosing diseases caused from pathogens. Recent progress in electrochemical studies shows that biosensors are very simple, accurate, precise, and cheap at virus detection, for which researchers find great interest in this field. The clinical levels of these pathogens can be easily analyzed with proposed biosensors. Their working principle is based on affinity between antibody and antigen in body fluids. The progress still continues on these biosensors for accurate, rapid, reliable sensors in future.

Abstract
Infectious diseases commonly occur in contaminated water, food, and bodily fluids and spread rapidly, resulting in death of humans and animals worldwide. Among infectious agents, viruses pose a serious threat to public health and global economy because they are often difficult to detect and their infections are hard to treat. Since it is crucial to develop rapid, accurate, cost-effective, and in-situ methods for early detection viruses, a variety of sensors have been reported so far. This review provides an overview of the recent developments in electrochemical sensors and biosensors for detecting viruses and use of these sensors on environmental, clinical and food monitoring. Electrochemical biosensors for determining viruses are divided into four main groups including nucleic acid-based, antibody-based, aptamer-based and antigen-based electrochemical biosensors. Finally, the drawbacks and advantages of each type of sensors are identified and discussed.

Abstract
This study reports a follow-up investigation on the capture of specific DNA sequences using ion-tagged oligonucleotides (ITOs) and magnetic ionic liquids (MIL). Five allylimidazolium salts bearing octyl substituents ([AOIM+]-ITOs) were used for the selective extraction of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) from Arabidopsis thaliana. In this work, the ability of the [AOIM+]-ITOs to enhance the extraction of longer target sequences (~ 700 bp) of plant origin was shown. Moreover, the independence of the probe binding position and the importance of complementarity to the target region for the extraction performance were demonstrated. To test the specificity of the ITOs, the same experiments were performed using the ITS region from another plant species, with a lower target capture for the probes which were specific for the A. thaliana sequence. Finally, extraction in the presence of interferences (heterogenous DNA, primary and secondary metabolites, proteins) provided interesting and insightful results. This work illustrates the feasibility and versatility of these probes when coupled to MILs for rapid, cost-effective, and environmentally sensitive sample preparation in the extraction of specific target sequences from different origins.

Abstract
Solid-phase isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) offers many benefits over the standard RPA in homogeneous phase in terms of sensitivity, portability, and versatility. However, RPA devices reported to date are limited by the need for heating sources to reach sensitive detection. With the aim of overcoming such limitation, we propose here a label-free highly integrated in situ RPA amplification/detection approach at room temperature that takes advantage of the high sensitivity offered by gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-modified sensing substrates and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) detection. Plant disease ( Citrus tristeza virus (CTV)) diagnostics was selected as a relevant target for demonstration of the proof-of-concept. RPA assay for amplification of the P20 gene (387-bp) characteristic of CTV was first designed/optimized and tested by standard gel electrophoresis analysis. The optimized RPA conditions were then transferred to the AuNP-modified electrode surface, previously modified with a thiolated forward primer. The in situ-amplified CTV target was investigated by EIS in a Fe(CN6)4-/Fe(CN6)3- red-ox system, being able to quantitatively detect 1000 fg μL-1 of nucleic acid. High selectivity against nonspecific gene sequences characteristic of potential interfering species such as Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV) and Citrus caxicia viroid (CCaV) was demonstrated. Good reproducibility (RSD of 8%) and long-term stability (up to 3 weeks) of the system were also obtained. Overall, with regard to sensitivity, cost, and portability, our approach exhibits better performance than RPA in homogeneous phase, also without the need of heating sources required in other solid-phase approaches.
