Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows specific chemical information to be obtained from various types of sample. The detailed molecular information that is present in Raman spectra permits monitoring of biochemical changes that occur in diseases, such as cancer, and can be used for the early detection and diagnosis of the disease, for monitoring treatment, and to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous biological samples. Several techniques have been developed to enhance the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy by improving detection sensitivity, reducing imaging times and increasing the potential applicability for in vivo analysis. The different Raman techniques each have their own advantages that can accommodate the alternative detection formats, allowing the techniques to be applied in several ways for the detection and diagnosis of cancer. This feature article discusses the various forms of Raman spectroscopy, how they have been applied for cancer detection, and the adaptation of the techniques towards their use for in vivo cancer detection and in clinical diagnostics. Despite the advances in Raman spectroscopy, the clinical application of the technique is still limited and certain challenges must be overcome to enable clinical translation. We provide an outlook on the future of the techniques in this area and what we believe is required to allow the potential of Raman spectroscopy to be achieved for clinical cancer diagnostics.

Dip-Pen Nanolithography(DPN): from Micro/Nano-patterns to Biosensing. Chem Res Chin Univ 2021; 37:846-854. [PMID: 34376961 PMCID: PMC8339700 DOI: 10.1007/s40242-021-1197-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Dip-pen nanolithography is an emerging and attractive surface modification technique that has the capacity to directly and controllably write micro/nano-array patterns on diverse substrates. The superior throughput, resolution, and registration enable DPN an outstanding candidate for biological detection from the molecular level to the cellular level. Herein, we overview the technological evolution of DPN in terms of its advanced derivatives and DPN-enabled versatile sensing patterns featuring multiple compositions and structures for biosensing. Benefitting from uniform, reproducible, and large-area array patterns, DPN-based biosensors have shown high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and fast response in target analyte detection and specific cellular recognition. We anticipate that DPN-based technologies could offer great potential opportunities to fabricate multiplexed, programmable, and commercial array-based sensing biochips.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes have become an increasingly interesting area of research due to their many advantages over natural protein enzymes which are expensive, difficult to isolate and unable to stand harsh environments. An important area of this research involves using metal nanoparticles as artificial enzymes, known as nanozymes, which exhibit peroxidase-like activity enabling them to catalyse the oxidation of substrates such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), giving a colorimetric response. Here we exploit the catalytic activity of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in a surface based silver-linked immunosorbent assay (SLISA) to detect human C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker. Ag NPs were conjugated to antibodies with specific recognition for the corresponding target antigenic molecule, CRP, and the Ag NPs were used to catalyse the oxidation of TMB by H2O2. The resulting coloured oxidation product was detected using SERRS. We demonstrate that Ag NPs can replace the enzymes used in a conventional ELISA and a detection limit of 1.09 ng mL-1 of CRP can be achieved. It indicates the promise for SLISAs for biomarker detection and opens the way for further assays of this nature to be created. This novel assay has the potential to be optimised to detect lower levels of CRP and can be further extended for the sensitive and specific detection of other relevant biomarkers.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific detection of protein is of great significance for early diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases. However, great challenges remain unsolved including relative low sensitivity, high cost, long testing time, complicated instrument and laborious operation. To improve the performance of protein detection methods, development of fine reaction interface for recognition and signal amplification is of great importance. In this work, we construct a novel mode of DNA assembly at electrode interface based on a tripodal surface anchor and an electrochemical aptasensor for protein assay is developed. The orientation of the immobilized DNA is optimized, which promises the efficiency of protein recognition. In addition, hybridization chain reaction is employed for further signal amplification. Therefore, this detection method shows high sensitivity with excellent specificity. The strategy can be universally applicable by simply modifying the sequences of used DNA probes.

Creation of antifouling microarrays by photopolymerization of zwitterionic compounds for protein assay and cell patterning. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 102:63-69.

Abstract
Nonspecific binding or adsorption of biomolecules presents as a major obstacle to higher sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility in microarray technology. We report herein a method to fabricate antifouling microarray via photopolymerization of biomimetic betaine compounds. In brief, carboxybetaine methacrylate was polymerized as arrays for protein sensing, while sulfobetaine methacrylate was polymerized as background. With the abundant carboxyl groups on array surfaces and zwitterionic polymers on the entire surfaces, this microarray allows biomolecular immobilization and recognition with low nonspecific interactions due to its antifouling property. Therefore, low concentration of target molecules can be captured and detected by this microarray. It was proved that a concentration of 10ngmL-1 bovine serum albumin in the sample matrix of bovine serum can be detected by the microarray derivatized with anti-bovine serum albumin. Moreover, with proper hydrophilic-hydrophobic designs, this approach can be applied to fabricate surface-tension droplet arrays, which allows surface-directed cell adhesion and growth. These light controllable approaches constitute a clear improvement in the design of antifouling interfaces, which may lead to greater flexibility in the development of interfacial architectures and wider application in blood contact microdevices.
