Abstract
Thrombin, a proteolytic enzyme, plays an essential role in catalyzing many blood clotting reactions. Thrombin can act as a marker for some blood-related diseases, such as leukemia, thrombosis, Alzheimer's disease and liver disease. Therefore, its diagnosis is of great importance in the fields of biological and medical research. Biosensors containing sandwich-type structures have attracted much consideration owing to their superior features such as reproducible and stable responses with easy improvement in the sensitivity of detection. Sandwich-type platforms can be designed using a pair of receptors that are able to bind to diverse locations of the same target. Herein, we investigate recent advances in the progress and applications of thrombin aptasensors containing a sandwich-type structure, in which two thrombin-binding aptamers (TBAs) identify different parts of the thrombin molecule, leading to the formation of a sandwich structure and ultimately signal detection. We also discuss the pros and cons of these approaches and outline the most logical approach in each section.

Abstract
In this work, a fluorescence immunoassay based on horseradish peroxidase-labeled IgG (HRP-IgG)-modified gold nanoparticle (AuNP@HRP-IgG) probe was established for detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). Through the catalysis of HRP, the dopamine (DA) and 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHA) can rapidly generate azamonardine fluorescence compound (AFC) with intense yellow fluorescence. Large amounts of AFC can be formed within 4 min, which led to fluorescence enhancement at 545 nm. This new method displayed high sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.18 ng/mL and a linear range of 0.78-200 ng/mL for OTA. Meanwhile, the recoveries of OTA in corn samples were 101.41% - 113.45%. Due to the universality of the probe and the rapidity of signal output, the fluorescence immunoassay allowed rapid and sensitive detection of targets.

Abstract
One of the most important tasks in food safety is to properly manage the investigation of mycotoxin contamination in agricultural products and foods made from them, as well as to prevent its occurrence. Monitoring requires a wide range of analytical methods, from expensive analytical procedures with high-tech instrumentation to significantly cheaper biosensor developments or even single-use assays suitable for on-site monitoring. This review provides a summary of the development directions over approximately a decade and a half, grouped according to the biologically sensitive components used. We provide an overview of the use of antibodies, molecularly imprinted polymers, and aptamers, as well as the diversity of biosensors and their applications within the food industry. We also mention the possibility of determining multiple toxins side by side, which would significantly reduce the time required for the analyses.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widespread mycotoxin that causes contamination in a variety of foodstuffs and environments, inducing great health risks to humans and animals. Rapid and sensitive detection of OTA is necessary for food safety, environmental health, and risk assessment. Herein, we report an aptamer microscale thermophoresis (MST) assay for OTA, with the unique merits of ratiometric analysis, rapid measurement, simple operation, high sensitivity, low sample consumption, and high throughput. A fluorescein (FAM)-labeled high-affinity DNA aptamer with a G-quadruplex and duplex structure was used as the recognition element for OTA, and MST, which measures the fluorescence responses of the sample solution inside capillaries to a mild temperature increase generated by infrared laser heating, was employed for signal generation. Upon OTA binding, the FAM-labeled aptamer probe underwent changes in conformation and stability, and the bound and unbound aptamer probes showed significant differences in their MST signals. To achieve sensitive detection of OTA with a large signal change, we systematically characterized aptamers with different stem lengths, which had large effects on the MST responses of the aptamer probes to OTA. We found that a 32-mer aptamer with FAM label at the 3' end gave a sensitive MST response to OTA, allowing OTA detection within seconds with a detection limit of 0.98 nM under optimal experimental conditions. This aptamer MST assay shows potential in real sample analysis and broad applications.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive analysis of ochratoxin A (OTA) plays an important role in food safety. Here, an aptasensor based on novel exponential rolling circle amplification (ERCA) was proposed for ultrasensitive and label-free fluorescence detection of OTA. The attachment of OTA to its aptamer could release H and rapidly hybridize with CT to initiate rolling circle amplification (RCA). The amplicons could further displace H from APH to initiate recycled RCA, achieving exponential growth of amplification products that contained G4 dimers for lighting up ThT. Benefiting from the exponential amplification efficiency of the ERCA strategy and the high fluorescence quantum yield of G4 dimer/ThT, this strategy exhibited a wide linear range from 10 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL with a detection limit of 4.3 fg/mL. In addition, the aptasensor displayed satisfactory recoveries in real sample analysis. We believe that this novel aptasensor possesses promising application prospects in food safety and medicine detection.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a powerful mycotoxin present in a variety of food products, and its detection is important for human health. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor is reported for sensitive OTA determination. Specifically, the surface of bio-inspired passion fruit-like dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres-enriched quantum dots (MSNQs-apt) was first modified with the OTA aptamer as the recognition unit and fluorescence emitter, while the aptamer-complementary DNA (MNPs-cDNA) was linked with the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as the separation element. In the range of 2.56 pg/mL to 8 ng/mL, the proposed aptasensor exhibited satisfactory linearity and a detection limit of 1.402 pg/mL. The developed aptasensor achieved recoveries of 90.98-103.20% and 94.33-107.57 % in red wine and wheat flour samples, respectively. By simply replacing the aptamer, this aptasensor can be easily extended to detection of other analytes, suggesting its potential as a universal detection platform for mycotoxins in food products.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) pollution in agricultural products has raised the pressing to develop sensitive, accurate and convenient detection methods. Herein, an accurate and ultrasensitive ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was proposed based on catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) for OTA detection. In this strategy, the target recognition and CHA reaction were both accomplished in the same system, which avoided tedious multi-steps operation and extra reagents, providing the advantage of convenience with only a one-step reaction and without enzyme. The labeled Fc and MB were used as the signal-switching molecules, avoiding various interferences and greatly improving the reproducibility (RSD: 3.197%). This aptasensor achieved trace-level detection for OTA with LOD of 81 fg/mL in the linear range of lower concentration (100 fg/mL-50 ng/mL). Moreover, this strategy was successfully applied to OTA detection in cereals with comparable results of HPLC-MS. This aptasensor provided a viable platform for accurate, ultrasensitive, and one-step detection of OTA in food.

Abstract
A flexible photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor is proposed for the sensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) based on glucose oxidase (GOx)-encapsulated target-responsive hydrogel, using Fenton reaction-mediated in situ formation of polyaniline (PANI) as signal amplified strategy. The target-responsive DNA hydrogels with high loading capacity can carry a large amount of GOx, which not only avoids laborious labeling process but also enhances the analytical performance. Upon introduction of target molecules, the hydrogel can be opened, and multiple GOx was released, thus producing lots of H2O2 via catalytic reduction of glucose. As a component of the Fenton reagent, H2O2 can react with the Fe2+ on the graphene oxidase-PAMAM-Fe2+ (GO-PAMAM-Fe2+) to generate Fe3+ and ·OH. This in turn can oxidize aniline and generate polyaniline (PANI), resulting in the enhancement of the photocurrent signal of GO-MoS2-CdS photoelectrode. The GO-PAMAM-Fe2+ as the neighborhood component of GO-MoS2-CdS-based photoactive material not only can increase the loading amount of Fe2+, but also can inhibit the decrease of photocurrent of GO-MoS2-CdS by direct modification of Fe2+ on the photoactive material. Moreover, the high loading capacity of DNA hydrogel can efficiently promote the performance of the PEC biosensor. The PEC biosensor exhibited satisfactory analytical performance for OTA with a linear range of 0.0001-0.1 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.05 pg/mL. It presents recommendable specificity, stability, and practical applications. Importantly, the PEC biosensor provides a new concept for construction of PEC biosensing platform.

Abstract
Chemical and biological contaminants are of primary concern in ensuring seafood safety. Rapid detection of such contaminants is needed to keep us safe from being affected. For over three decades, immunoassay (IA) technology has been used for the detection of contaminants in seafood products. However, limitations inherent to antibody generation against small molecular targets that cannot elicit an immune response, along with the instability of antibodies under ambient conditions greatly limit their wider application for developing robust detection and monitoring tools, particularly for non-biomedical applications. As an alternative, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as a powerful yet robust analytical tool for the detection of a wide range of analytes. Due to the high specificity of aptamers in recognising targets ranging from small molecules to large proteins and even whole cells, these have been suggested to be viable molecular recognition elements (MREs) in the development of new diagnostic and biosensing tools for detecting a wide range of contaminants including heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, pathogens and biotoxins. In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the field of aptasensors for detection of contaminants in seafood products with a view of effectively managing their potential human health hazards. A critical outlook is also provided to facilitate translation of aptasensors from academic laboratories to the mainstream seafood industry and consumer applications.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination has become a challenge in the field of food safety testing, given the increasing emphasis on food safety in recent years. Mycotoxins are widely distributed, in heavily polluted areas. Food contamination with these toxins is difficult to prevent and control. Mycotoxins, as are small-molecule toxic metabolites produced by several species belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium growing in food. They are considered teratogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic to humans and animals. Food systems are often simultaneously contaminated with multiple mycotoxins. Due to the additive or synergistic toxicological effects caused by the co-existence of multiple mycotoxins, their individual detection requires reliable, accurate, and high-throughput techniques. Currently available, methods for the detection of multiple mycotoxins are mainly based on chromatography, spectroscopy (colorimetry, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering), and electrochemistry. This review provides a comprehensive overview of advances in the multiple detection methods of mycotoxins during the recent 5 years. The principles and features of these techniques are described. The practical applications and challenges associated with assays for multiple detection methods of mycotoxins are summarized. The potential for future development and application is discussed in an effort, to provide standards of references for further research.

Abstract
With the rapid growth in global food production, delivery, and consumption, reformative food analytical techniques are required to satisfy the monitoring requirements of speed and high sensitivity. Nanozyme-encoded luminescent detections (NLDs) integrating nanozyme-based rapid detections with luminescent output signals have emerged as powerful methods for food safety monitoring, not only because of their preeminent performance in analysis, such as rapid, facile, low background signal, and ultrasensitive, but also due to their strong attractiveness for future sensing research. However, the lack of a full understanding of the fundamentals of NLDs for food safety detection technologies limits their further application. In this review, a systematic overview of the mechanisms of NLDs and their applications in the food industry is summarized, which covers the nanozyme-mimicking types and their luminescent signal generation mechanisms, as well as their applications in monitoring common foodborne contaminants. As demonstrated by previous studies, NLDs are bridging the gap to practical-oriented food analytical technologies and various opportunities to improve their food analytical performance to be considered in the future are proposed.

Abstract
In this work, a simple dual-mode immunoassay for detecting Ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed by mixing G-quadruplex/N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (G4/NMM) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The fluorescence of G4/NMM can be quenched by oxidized TMB (oxTMB) because the absorbance of oxTMB overlapped with the fluorescence emission of G4/NMM. In the absence of OTA, large amounts of oxTMB were formed with blue color and the fluorescence of G4/NMM was quenched. In the presence of OTA, the concentration of oxTMB was decreased, therefore the fluorescence of G4/NMM increased. The linear range of fluorescence immunoassay was 0.195-25 ng/mL, and the linear range of the absorbance immunoassay was 0.049-1.563 ng/mL. Thus, the linear range of this dual-mode immunoassay can be expanded to 0.049-25 ng/mL. Meanwhile, the new method showed good selectivity for OTA. Besides, the satisfactory recovery rates implied the new method had a potential value for practical sample detection.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are bioaccumulative contaminants impacting animals and humans. The simultaneous detection of frequent active exposures and accumulated mycotoxin level (s) in exposed organisms would be the most ideal to enable appropriate actions. However, few methods are available for the purpose, and there is a demand for dedicated, sensitive, reliable, and practical assays. To demonstrate the issue, mice were exposed to a relevant agent Ochratoxin A (OTA), and accumulated OTA was measured by fine-tuned commercial assays. Quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry assays have been developed/modified using reagents available as commercial products when appropriate. Assays were performed on excised samples, and results were compared. Accumulated OTA could be detected and quantified; positive correlations (between applied doses of exposure and accumulated OTA levels and the results from assays) were found. Dedicated assays could be developed, which provided comparable results. The presence and accumulation of OTA following even a short exposure could be quantitatively detected. The assays performed similarly, but HPLC had the greatest sensitivity. Blood contained higher levels of OTA than liver and kidney. We demonstrate that specific but flexible and practical assays should be used for specific/local purposes, to measure the exposure itself and accumulation in blood or organs.

Abstract
Nowadays, the integration of conventional analytical approaches with smartphones has been developed novel, emerging and affordable devices for improving on-site detection platforms in the fields of food safety. Smartphone-based aptasensors as the next generation of portable aptasensing technique has attracted considerable attention as it offers a semi-automated user interface that can be exploited by inexpert characters. Wireless data transferability is an undeniable advantage that home-testing platforms have as well as it can suggest high computational power. In addition, these types of biodevices can provide real-time monitoring in terms of exchanging digital networks in real-time. To elaborate, the ability of smartphones to connect through the Internet is one of the most critical advantages of smartphone-based aptasensor that can be uploaded to Cloud databases and results can be disseminated as spatio-temporal maps across the globe. This review focused on the recent progress and technical breakthroughs of aptasensor on the smartphone as a groundbreaking enterprise in the field of biochemical analysis, importantly in the aspect of the combination of different types of biosensors including electrochemical, optical and colorimetric. In our opinion, this review can broaden our understanding of using smartphones as a portable sensing approach by addressing the current challenges and future perspectives.

A Novel Fluorescent Aptasensor Based on Real-Time Fluorescence and Strand Displacement Amplification for the Detection of Ochratoxin A. Foods 2022; 11:foods11162443.

Abstract
It is urgently necessary to develop convenient, reliable, ultrasensitive and specific methods of ochratoxin A determination in food safety owing to its high toxicity. In the present study, an ultrasensitive and labeled-free fluorescent aptamer sensor combining real-time fluorescence with strand displacement amplification (SDA) was fabricated for the determination of OTA. In the presence of OTA, the OTA–aptamer combines with OTA, thus opening hairpins. Then, SDA primers specifically bind to the hairpin stem, which is used for subsequent amplification as a template. SDA amplification is initiated under the action of Bst DNA polymerase and nicking endonuclease. The amplified products (ssDNA) are dyed with SYBR Green II and detected with real-time fluorescence. The method has good linearity in the range of 0.01–50 ng mL−1, with the lowest limit of detection of 0.01 ng mL−1. Additionally, the fluorescent aptamer sensor shows outstanding specificity and reproducibility. Furthermore, the sensor shows excellent analytical performance in the artificial labeled detection of wheat and oat samples, with a recovery rate of 96.1~100%. The results suggest that the developed sensor has a promising potential application for the ultrasensitive detection of contaminants in food.

Abstract
Thanks to its preparatory ease, close affinity, and low cost, the aptasensor can serve as a promising substitute for antibody-dependent biosensors. However, the available aptasensors are mostly subject to a single-mode readout and the interference of unbound aptamers in solution and non-target-induced transition events. Herein, we proposed a multimodal aptasensor for multimode detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) with cross-validation using the 3'-6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-enhanced exonuclease I (Exo I) tool and magnetic microbead carrier. Specifically, the 3'-FAM-labeled aptamer/biotinylated-cDNA hybrids were immobilized onto streptavidin-magnetic microbeads via streptavidin-biotin interaction. With the presence of OTA, an antiparallel G-quadruplex conformation was formed, protecting the 3'-FAM labels from Exo I digestion, and then anti-FAM-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was bound via specific antigen-antibody affinity; for the aptamers without the protection of OTA, the distal ssDNA was hydrolyzed from 3' → 5', releasing 3'-FAM labels to the solution. Therefore, the OTA was detected by analyzing the "signal-off" fluorescence of the supernatant and two "signal-on" signals in electrochemistry and colorimetry through the detection of the coating magnetic microbeads in HRP's substrate. The results showed that the 3'-FAM labels increased the activity of Exo I, producing a low background due to a more thorough digestion of unbound aptamers. The proposed multimodal aptasensor successfully detected the OTA in actual samples. This work first provides a novel strategy for the development of aptasensors with Exo I and 3'-FAM labels, broadening the application of aptamer in the multimode detection of small molecules.

Abstract
In order to improve the weak optical performance of gold nanoparticles and realize the signal amplification of lateral flow chromatography test strips, individual gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were aggregated into gold nanoparticle aggregates through functional groups around polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. A signal-amplified aptamer-based lateral flow chromatography test strip was constructed for the rapid determination of ochratoxin A (OTA). Under optimal conditions, the visual detection limit of this test strip was 0.4 ng mL−1 and the semi-quantitative limit of detection (LOD) was 0.04 ng mL−1. Compared with other traditional aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strips, its sensitivity was improved about five times. The whole test could be completed within 15 min. The aptamer-based strip was applied to the detection of OTA in red wine; the average recoveries ranged from 93% to 105.8% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) varying from 3% to 8%, indicating that the test strip may be a potentially effective tool for the on-site detection of OTA.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are primarily kinds of detrimental agents that cause mankind illness via contaminated food with traits of multiple types, universality, and low content. In view of the detection demands for rapidity, aptamer recognition factors emerged as a substitution for antibodies, which are short single strands of nucleic acid selected via in vitro. They display certain superiorities over antibodies, such as preferable stability, liable modification, and cost-efficiency. Taking advantage of the situation, numerous aptamers against pathogenic bacteria have been successfully selected and applied, yet there are still restrictions on commercial availability. In this review, the strategies/approaches to key sections in pathogen aptamers SELEX and post-SELEX are summarized and sorted out. Recently, optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric aptamer-based assays or sensors dedicated to pathogen detection have been critically reviewed. Ultimately, the existing challenges and future trends in this field are proposed to further promote development prospects.

Abstract
A 36-mer guanine (G)-rich DNA aptamer (OBA36) is able to distinguish one atomic difference between ochratoxin analogues A (OTA) and B (OTB), showing prominent recognition specificity and affinity among hundreds of aptamers for small molecules. Why OBA36 has >100-fold higher binding affinity to OTA than OTB remains a long-standing question due to the lack of high-resolution structure. Here we report the solution NMR structure of the aptamer-OTA complex. It was found that OTA binding induces the aptamer to fold into a well-defined unique duplex-quadruplex structural scaffold stabilized by Mg2+ and Na+ ions. OTA does not directly interact with the G-quadruplex, but specifically binds at the junction between the double helix and G-quadruplex through π-π stacking, halogen bonding (X-bond), and hydrophobic interaction. OTB has the same binding site as OTA but lacks the X-bond. The strong X-bond formed between the chlorine atom of OTA and the aromatic ring of C5 is the key to discriminating the strong binding toward OTA. The present research contributes to a deeper insight of aptamer molecular recognition, reveals structural basis of the high-affinity binding of aptamers, and provides a foundation for further aptamer engineering and applications.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widely distributed mycotoxin that often contaminates food, grains and animal feed. It poses a serious threat to human health because of its high toxicity and persistence. Therefore, the development of an inexpensive, highly sensitive, accurate and rapid method for OTA detection is imperative. In recent years, various nanomaterials used in the establishment of aptasensors have attracted great attention due to their large surface-to-volume ratio, good stability and facile preparation. This review summarizes the development of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for OTA determination and sample treatment over the past 5 years. The nanomaterials used in OTA aptasensors include metal, carbon, luminescent, magnetic and other nanomaterials. Finally, the limitations and future challenges in the development of nanomaterial-based OTA aptasensors are reviewed and discussed.

An ultra-sensitive dual-responsive aptasensor with combination of liquid crystal and intercalating dye molecules: A food toxin case study. Food Chem 2022; 381:132265.

Abstract
Herein, a label-free aptasensor was designed through forming a double-stranded DNA skeleton on the glass substrate for ultrasensitive quantification of ochratoxin A (OTA) as a case study. The function fundament of the dual-responsive aptasensor was the perturbation of the vertical alignment of the liquid crystals (LCs) and intercalation of the SYBR Green I (SGI) dye molecules between the base pairs of the double-stranded DNA structure. The presence of OTA decomposed the double-stranded structure of DNA by releasing the OTA-specific aptamer from the sensing platform that induced an apparent alteration of the optical and fluorescent responses. The aptasensor specifically detected the ultra-low levels of OTA as 47.0E-9 pM (0.047 aM) and 34.0E-3 pM (34 fM) based on the polarized and fluorescent responses, respectively. The aptasensor monitored OTA in the coffee and grape drink samples. The aptasensor provides promising insight for manufacturing real-time, cost-effective, and portable sensing devices for food control usage.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungal species, which pose significant risk to humans and livestock. The mycotoxins which are produced from Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium are considered most important and therefore regulated in food- and feedstuffs. Analyses are predominantly performed by official laboratory methods in centralized labs by expert technicians. There is an urgent demand for new low-cost, easy-to-use, and portable analytical devices for rapid on-site determination. Most significant advances were realized in the field bioanalytical techniques based on molecular recognition. This review aims to discuss recent progress in the generation of native biomolecules and new bioinspired materials towards mycotoxins for the development of reliable bioreceptor-based analytical methods. After brief presentation of basic knowledge regarding characteristics of most important mycotoxins, the generation, benefits, and limitations of present and emerging biorecognition molecules, such as polyclonal (pAb), monoclonal (mAb), recombinant antibodies (rAb), aptamers, short peptides, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), are discussed. Hereinafter, the use of binders in different areas of application, including sample preparation, microplate- and tube-based assays, lateral flow devices, and biosensors, is highlighted. Special focus, on a global scale, is placed on commercial availability of single receptor molecules, test-kits, and biosensor platforms using multiplexed bead-based suspension assays and planar biochip arrays. Future outlook is given with special emphasis on new challenges, such as increasing use of rAb based on synthetic and naïve antibody libraries to renounce animal immunization, multiple-analyte test-kits and high-throughput multiplexing, and determination of masked mycotoxins, including stereoisomeric degradation products.

Ochratoxin A in Slaughtered Pigs and Pork Products. Toxins (Basel) 2022; 14:toxins14020067.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin that is produced after the growth of several Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. in feeds or foods. OTA has been proved to possess nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, teratogenic, neurotoxic, genotoxic, carcinogenic and immunotoxic effects in animals and humans. OTA has been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) by the IARC in 2016. OTA can be mainly found in animals as a result of indirect transmission from naturally contaminated feed. OTA found in feed can also contaminate pigs and produced pork products. Additionally, the presence of OTA in pork meat products could be derived from the direct growth of OTA-producing fungi or the addition of contaminated materials such as contaminated spices. Studies accomplished in various countries have revealed that pork meat and pork meat products are important sources of chronic dietary exposure to OTA in humans. Various levels of OTA have been found in pork meat from slaughtered pigs in many countries, while OTA levels were particularly high in the blood serum and kidneys of pigs. Pork products made from pig blood or organs such as the kidney or liver have been often found to becontaminated with OTA. The European Union (EU) has established maximum levels (ML) for OTA in a variety of foods since 2006, but not for meat or pork products. However, the establishement of an ML for OTA in pork meat and meat by-products is necessary to protect human health.

Development of a novel liquid crystal Apta-sensing platform using P-shape molecular switch. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 199:113882.

Abstract
Described herein is a liquid crystal (LC)-based aptasensor via employing the reorientation of LC triggered by the conformational changes of a P-shaped DNA structure. The structure consists of a short linker sequence as an immobilizer probe with ability to hybridize with the central part of the intact aptamer (Apt) sequence and an Apt terminal-locker (ATL) strand with complementary segments of the Apt terminal fragments. Bindings of two arm segments of the Apt sequence with the ATL strand enforces it to form a P-shaped configuration on the sensing platform. The selective interaction between the Apt strand and OTA leads to the disassembly of the Apt-ATL hybrid, collapse of the P-shaped structure, and consequently, transition of the optical appearance of the aptasensor texture. Determination of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in foods is an urgent demand in attempt to minimize food safety risks. To demonstrate the feasibility of our aptasensing design, the OTA specific aptamer was selected as a model. The developed LC aptasensor possesses a wide linear range from 0.01 aM to 100 pM, ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0078 aM, and quantitative recoveries of 91-103.51% for OTA in rice and grape juice samples. This study proposes a novel and universal LC-based platform for facile, ultra-sensitive, and precision sensing of hazardous analytes in real samples.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of high sensitive and selective biosensing platforms areessential goals to precisely recognize biomaterials in biological assays. In particular, determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the main energy currency of the cells and one of the most important biomolecules in living organisms is a pressing need in advanced biological detection. Recently, aptamer-based biosensors are introduced as a new direct strategy in which the aptamers (Apts) directly bind to the different targets and detect them on the basis of conformational changes and physical interactions. They can also be conjugated to optical and electronic probes such as quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials and provide unique QD aptasensing platforms. Currently, these Apt-based biosensors with excellent recognition features have attracted extensive attention due to the high specificity, rapid response and facile construction. Therefore, in this review article, recent achievements and advances in aptasensing detection of ATP based on different detection methods and types of QDs are discussed. In this regard, the optical and electrochemical aptasensors have been categorized based on detection methods; fluorescence (FL), electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) and they have been also divided to two main groups based on QDs; metal-based (M-based) and carbon-based (C-based) materials. Then, their advantages and limitations have been highlighted, compared and discussed in detail.

Abstract
Lysozyme (Lyz) is a naturally occurring enzyme that operates against Gram-positive bacteria and leads to cell death. This antimicrobial enzyme forms the part of the innate defense system of nearly all animals and exists in their somatic discharges such as milk, tears, saliva and urine. Increased Lyz level in serum is an important indication of several severe diseases and so, precise diagnosis of Lyz is an urgent need in biosensing assays. Up to know, various traditional and modern techniques have been introduced for Lyz determination. Although the traditional methods suffer from some significant limitations such as time-consuming, arduous, biochemical screening, bacterial colony isolation, selective enrichment and requiring sophisticated instrumentation or isotope labeling, some new modern approaches like aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) and quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials are the main goal in Lyz detection. Electrochemical and optical sensors have been highlighted because of their adaptability and capability to decrease the drawbacks of common methods. Using an aptamer-based biosensor, sensor selectivity is enhanced due to the specific recognition of the analyte. Thereby, in this review article, the recent advances and achievements in electrochemical and optical aptasensing detection of Lyz based on different QD nanomaterials and detection methods have been discussed in detail.

Abstract
Two types of organic-inorganic hybrid structure-related lanthanide (Ln)-included selenotungstates (Ln-SeTs) [H2N(CH3)2]11Na7[Ce4(H2PTCA)2(H2O)12(HICA)]2[SeW4O17]2[W2O5]4[SeW9O33]4·64H2O (1, H3PTCA = 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid, H2ICA = itaconic acid) and [H2N(CH3)2]6Na4[Ln4SeW8(H2O)14(H2PTCA)2O28] [SeW9O33]2·31H2O [Ln = Pr3+ (2), Nd3+ (3)] were obtained by Ln nature control. The primary frameworks of 1-3 are composed of trivacant Keggin-type [B-α-SeW9O33]8- and [SeW4Om]n- [Ln = Ce3+ (1), m = 17, n = 6; Ln = Pr3+ (2), Nd3+ (3), m = 18, n = 8] fragments bridged by organic ligands and Ln clusters. Intriguingly, Ln nature results in the degradation of hexameric 1 to trimeric 2-3. Besides, 1@DMDSA and 3@DMDSA composites (DMDSA·Cl = dimethyl distearylammonium chloride) were prepared through the cation exchange method, which were then reorganized to form two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb thin films by the breath figure method. Using these honeycomb thin films as electrode materials, the aptasensors were further established by utilizing methylene blue as an indicator and cDNA and Au nanoparticles as signal amplifiers to enhance the response signal so as to realize the purpose of ochratoxin A (OTA) detection. This work provides a new platform for detecting OTA and explores the application potential of POM-based composites in biological and clinical analyses.

Abstract
Biosensor technology is considered to be a great alternative in analytical techniques over the conventional methods. Among many recently developed techniques and devices, aptasensors are interesting because of their high specificity, selectivity and sensitivity. Combining aptamer as a biological recognition element with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as probe, are becoming more general owing to their beneficial properties, including low cost and ability to analyze specific targets on-site and using naked eye. Hydrogen bonds, nucleic acid hybridization, aptamer-target and antigen-antibody binding, Raman signature, enzyme inhibition, and enzyme-mimicking activity are main different sensing strategies exploited in AuNPs-based optical aptasensors. In this review article, we discussed the recent advances in optical aptasensors with a special emphasis on the catalytic activity property of AuNPs.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) as the most dangerous mycotoxin is produced by Aspergillus Ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum. OTA can be found in beverages and foodstuffs that induces the teratogenic, nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, and immunosuppressive effects on humans. Hence, developing highly sensitive methods for its detection is of great importance. Herein, a novel aptasensor was designed for the label-free monitoring of the ultra-low OTA levels by a combination of the superiority of aptamers and long-range orientational order of liquid crystals (LCs). The aptasensing strategy was based on the conformational switch of the immobilized π-shaped DNA structure on the glass substrate in presence of the target. A shift in the orientation of LCs from random to homeotropic state led to the apparent alteration of the optical appearance of the aptasensor platform from bright to dark. The LC-based aptasensor especially detects OTA at the ultra-trace level as low as 0.63 aM with comparable selectivity. The aptasensor could detect OTA successfully in the grape juice, coffee, and human serum samples. The LC-based aptasensor paves a way for developing portable and real-time sensing probes with high performance for food safety control and clinical application.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by fungi, which represent a risk to the food and feed supply chain, having an impact on health and economies. A high percentage of feed samples have been reported to be contaminated with more than one type of mycotoxin. Systematic, cost-effective and simple tools for testing are critical to achieve a rapid and accurate screening of food and feed quality. In this review, we describe the various aptamers that have been selected against mycotoxins and their incorporation into optical and electrochemical aptasensors, outlining the strategies exploited, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The review also discusses the different materials used and the immobilization methods employed, with the aim of achieving the highest sensitivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the most abundant mycotoxins that contaminate various food products. Herein, we propose a novel label-free impedimetric electrochemical sensor consisting of chitosan/dipeptide nanofibrous hydrogel and immobilized DNA probes with OTA aptamer for the detection of OTA. The thin film of chitosan/dipeptide nanofibrous hydrogel was used as sensing interface and carrier for hybridization chain reaction (HCR) of OTA aptamer and DNA2 strand to form DNA concatemer. The concatemer was dissociated to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in the presence of target OTA, and the signal amplification was further implemented by introducing RecJf exonuclease, which could digest the single-stranded DNA resulting in OTA recycle. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been employed to characterize the properties of the fabricated sensor. A linear detection range of 0.1-100 ng mL-1 was obtained for OTA with a low detection limit of 0.03 ng mL-1. Furthermore, the developed sensor was demonstrated in white wine to detect OTA, indicating that the proposed impedimetric sensor has a promising potential application in the food industry.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the current state of art as well as on future trends in electrochemical aptasensors application in medical diagnostics. The origin of aptamers is presented along with the description of the process known as SELEX. This is followed by the description of the broad spectrum of aptamer-based sensors for the electrochemical detection of various diagnostically relevant analytes, including metal cations, abused drugs, neurotransmitters, cancer, cardiac and coagulation biomarkers, circulating tumor cells, and viruses. We described also possible future perspectives of aptasensors development. This concerns (i) the approaches to lowering the detection limit and improvement of the electrochemical aptasensors selectivity by application of the hybrid aptamer-antibody receptor layers and/or nanomaterials; and (ii) electrochemical aptasensors integration with more advanced microfluidic devices as user-friendly medical instruments for medical diagnostic of the future.

Abstract
Biosensors are analytical tools with a great application in healthcare, food quality control, and environmental monitoring. They are of considerable interest to be designed by using cost-effective and efficient approaches. Designing biosensors with improved functionality or application in new target detection has been converted to a fast-growing field of biomedicine and biotechnology branches. Experimental efforts have led to valuable successes in the field of biosensor design; however, some deficiencies restrict their utilization for this purpose. Computational design of biosensors is introduced as a promising key to eliminate the gap. A set of reliable structure prediction of the biosensor segments, their stability, and accurate descriptors of molecular interactions are required to computationally design biosensors. In this review, we provide a comprehensive insight into the progress of computational methods to guide the design and development of biosensors, including molecular dynamics simulation, quantum mechanics calculations, molecular docking, virtual screening, and a combination of them as the hybrid methodologies. By relying on the recent advances in the computational methods, an opportunity emerged for them to be complementary or an alternative to the experimental methods in the field of biosensor design.

Abstract
This work proposes a voltammetric aptasensor to detect deoxynivalenol (DON) mycotoxin. The development steps of the aptasensor were partnered for the first time to a computational study to gain insights onto the molecular mechanisms involved into the interaction between a thiol-tethered DNA aptamer (80mer-SH) and DON. The exploited docking study allowed to find the binding region of the oligonucleotide sequence and to determine DON preferred orientation. A biotinylated oligonucleotide sequence (20mer-BIO) complementary to the aptamer was chosen to carry out a competitive format. Graphite screen-printed electrodes (GSPEs) were electrochemically modified with polyaniline and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@PANI) by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and worked as a scaffold for the immobilization of the DNA aptamer. Solutions containing increasing concentrations of DON and a fixed amount of 20mer-BIO were dropped onto the aptasensor surface: the resulting hybrids were labeled with an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) conjugate to hydrolyze 1-naphthyl phosphate (1-NPP) substrate into 1-naphthol product, detected by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). According to its competitive format, the aptasensor response was signal-off in the range 5.0-30.0 ng·mL-1 DON. A detection limit of 3.2 ng·mL-1 was achieved within a 1-hour detection time. Preliminary experiments on maize flour samples spiked with DON yielded good recovery values.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive, rapid, and specific method for Ochratoxin A (OTA) detection was designed using complementary sequence to aptamer as a target of molecular beacon (MB). The designed loop structure of the MB has the same sequence as the aptamer with a complementary DNA (cDNA) which translates the level of the target into a measurable response. The presence of the target holds aptamer at the corresponding amount and the additional cDNAs are consumed by unbound aptamers which avails free cDNAs that resulting in fluorescence rising due to unfolding of MBs. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity increased linearly with OTA concentration over the range of 10 pg mL-1-1 µg mL-1 with the detection limit of 0.247 pg mL-1. The application of this assay in wheat sample in comparison with HPLC-MS/MS method, demonstrated that the new assay could be a potential sensing platform for OTA detection.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic metabolite that is widely distributed in food products. Herein, we proposed a new fluorescent aptasensor for OTA detection by using cascade strand displacement reaction. The binding of OTA and OTA aptamer on magnetic beads surface inhibited its hybridization with complementary DNA, and subsequently initiated the strand displacement reaction that induced amplified fluorescence signal. By tracing fluorescence response, our method demonstrated an improved detection limit of 0.63 ng/mL, a short assay time of 110 min, and a satisfactory detection specificity by using ochratoxin B, aflatoxin B1, and zearalenone as control toxins. Recovery studies were conducted by spiking OTA in real food samples, including white wine, red wine, cereal drink, coffee beverage and tea beverage, and confirmed desirable accuracy and practical applicability of our method. Therefore, our method may have a great potential use in the food quality control in the future.

Abstract
In this work, a signal amplification competitive-type photoelectrochemical system comprised of bismuth sulfide/bismuth oxyiodide/zinc oxide (Bi2S3/BiOI/ZnO) nano-array as platform and Ag2S-modified aptamers probe DNA (p DNA@Ag2S) as competition content for rapid and sensitive detection of OTA in microfluidic devices. The BiOI nano-array was first growth on surfaces of ZnO by a simple electrodeposited method, which provided large specific surface area and high stability to solve distribution of sensing platform and loose of combination of sensing substrate. Then, the Bi2S3 could be in-situ growth by self-sacrificial part Bi3+ of BiOI to form heterojunction without destroying the structure of the nano-array. A strong photocurrent intensity was acquired by the Bi2S3/BiOI/ZnO modified onto indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode, due to its good matching cascade band-edge levels could improve efficient separation of photo-generated e-/h+ pairs. After immobilizing with the capture DNA (c DNA) and the sequential hybridization of p DNA@Ag2S, the photocurrent intensity reduced obviously because part photo-generated electron transformed to Ag2S rather than Bi2S3/BiOI/ZnO electrode. Subsequently, the photocurrent intensity increased evident when immobilized the target OTA, owing to the OTA could bind the p DNA@Ag2S to form the specific-complex that were released from the electrode surface. Under optimal conditions, the prepared PEC microfluidic sensor exhibited a linear concentration of OTA from 0.01 pg/mL to 200 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.0035 pg/mL (S/N = 3). Furthermore, it achieved high sensitivity, good specificity, and acceptable stability and further provided an efficient method for sensitive detection of other target mycotoxins in practical application.

Abstract
Nucleolin or C23, is one of the most abundant non-ribosomal phosphoproteins of nucleolus. However, in several cancers, nucleolin is highly expressed both intracellularly and on the cell surface. So, it is considered as a potential target for the diagnosis and cancer therapy. Targeting nucleolin by compounds such as AS1411 aptamer can reduce tumor cell growth. In this regard, interest has increased in nucleolin as a molecular target for overcoming cancer therapy challenges. This review paper addressed recent progresses in nucleolin targeting by the G-rich AS1411 aptamer in the field of cancer therapy mainly over the past three years.

Abstract
Toxins are one of the major threatening factors to human and animal health, as well as economic growth. There is therefore an urgent demand from various communities to develop novel analytical methods for the sensitive detection of toxins in complex matrixes. Among the as-developed toxin detection strategies, nanocomposite-based aptamer sensors (termed as aptasensors) show tremendous potential for combating toxin pollution; in particular electrochemical (EC) aptasensors have received significant attention because of their unique advantages, including simplicity, rapidness, high sensitivity, low cost and suitability for field-testing. This paper reviewed the recently published approaches for the development of nanocomposite-/nanomaterial-based EC aptasensors for the detection of toxins with high assaying performance, and their potential applications in environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and food safety control by summarizing the detection of different types of toxins, including fungal mycotoxins, algal toxins and bacterial enterotoxins. The effects of nanocomposite properties on the detection performance of EC aptasensors have been fully addressed for supplying readers with a comprehensive understanding of their improvement. The current technical challenges and future prospects of this subject have also been discussed.
