Abstract
Advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection have helped to overcome the limitations of traditional in vitro diagnostic methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, owing to its high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. However, for the implementation of SERS detection technology in disease diagnosis, a SERS-based assay platform capable of analyzing clinical samples is essential. Moreover, infectious diseases like COVID-19 require the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies that can rapidly and accurately determine infection status. As an effective assay platform, SERS-based bioassays utilize SERS nanotags labeled with protein or DNA receptors on Au or Ag nanoparticles, serving as highly sensitive optical probes. Additionally, a microdevice is necessary as an interface between the target biomolecules and SERS nanotags. This review aims to introduce various microdevices developed for SERS detection, available for POC diagnostics, including LFA strips, microfluidic chips, and microarray chips. Furthermore, the article presents research findings reported in the last 20 years for the SERS-based bioassay of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Finally, the prospects of SERS bioassays are discussed concerning the integration of SERS-based microdevices and portable Raman readers into POC systems, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence technology.

Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301000.

Abstract
Macrophage performs multiple functions such as pathogen phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and tissue remodeling by polarizing toward a spectrum of phenotypes. Dynamic imaging of macrophage phenotypes is critical for evaluating disease progression and the therapeutic response of drug candidates. However, current technologies cannot identify macrophage phenotypes in vivo. Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering nanoprobe, AH1, which enables the accurate determination of physiological pH with high sensitivity and tissue penetration depth through ratiometric Raman signals is developed. Due to the phenotype-dependent metabolic reprogramming, AH1 can effectively identify macrophage subpopulations by measuring the acidity levels in phagosomes. After intravenous administration, AH1 not only visualizes the spatial distribution of macrophage phenotypes in brain tumors and epileptic regions of mouse models, but also reveals the repolarization of macrophages in brain lesions after drug intervention. This work provides a new tool for dynamically monitoring the disease-associated immune microenvironment and evaluating the efficacy of immune-therapeutics in vivo.

Abstract
Herein, a simple and highly sensitive electrochemical sandwich-like immunosensor for the squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) was constructed using gold nanoparticle/graphene nanosheet (Au/GN) nanohybrids as a sensing platform and β-cyclodextrin/Ti3C2Tx MXenes (β-CD/Ti3C2Tx) as a signal amplifier. The good biocompatibility and large surface area as well as the high conductivity of Au/GN allow the platform to load primary antibodies (Ab1) and facilitate electron transport. In the case of the β-CD/Ti3C2Tx nanohybrids, the β-CD molecule is dedicated to binding secondary antibodies (Ab2) through host-guest interactions, thus inducing the formation of the sandwich-like structure Ab2-β-CD/Ti3C2Tx/SCCA/Ab1/Au/GN in the presence of SCCA. Interestingly, Cu2+ can be adsorbed and self-reduced on the surface of the sandwich-like structure to form Cu0 since Ti3C2Tx MXenes can exhibit superior adsorption and reduction capabilities towards Cu2+, and a prominent current signal of Cu0 can be observed via differential pulse voltammetry. Based on this principle, an innovative signal amplification strategy has been proposed for SCCA detection, which avoids the process of labeling the probe and the specific immobilization step of catalytic components on the surface of amplification markers. After the optimization of various conditions, a wide linear range from 0.05 pg mL-1 to 20.0 ng mL-1, coupled with a low detection limit of 0.01 pg mL-1, was obtained for SCCA analysis. The proposed method for SCCA detection was also applied in real human serum samples and the observed results are satisfactory. This work opens up new pathways for constructing electrochemical sandwich-like immunosensors for SCCA and other targets.

Raman Spectroscopy for Early Detection of Cervical Cancer, a Global Women’s Health Issue—A Review. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062502.

Abstract
This review focuses on recent advances and future perspectives in the use of Raman spectroscopy for cervical cancer, a global women’s health issue. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common women’s cancer in the world, and unfortunately mainly affects younger women. However, when detected at the early precancer stage, it is highly treatable. High-quality cervical screening programmes and the introduction of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine are reducing the incidence of cervical cancer in many countries, but screening is still essential for all women. Current gold standard methods include HPV testing and cytology for screening, followed by colposcopy and histopathology for diagnosis. However, these methods are limited in terms of sensitivity/specificity, cost, and time. New methods are required to aid clinicians in the early detection of cervical precancer. Over the past 20 years, the potential of Raman spectroscopy together with multivariate statistical analysis has been shown for the detection of cervical cancer. This review discusses the research to date on Raman spectroscopic approaches for cervical cancer using exfoliated cells, biofluid samples, and tissue ex vivo and in vivo.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is frequent neoplasia. Currently, the diagnostic approach includes cervical cytology, colposcopy, and histopathology studies; combining detection techniques increases the sensitivity and specificity of the tests. Raman spectroscopy is a high-resolution technique that supports the diagnosis of malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the Raman spectroscopy technique discriminating between healthy and premalignant/malignant cervical cells. We included 81 exfoliative cytology samples, 29 in the “healthy group” (negative cytology), and 52 in the “CIN group” (premalignant/malignant lesions). We obtained the nucleus and cytoplasm Raman spectra of individual cells. We tested the spectral differences between groups using Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA) and Canonical Analysis of Principal Coordinates (CAP). We found that Raman spectra have increased intensity in premalignant/malignant cells compared with healthy cells. The characteristic Raman bands corresponded to proteins and nucleic acids, in concordance with the increased replication and translation processes in premalignant/malignant states. We found a classification efficiency of 76.5% and 82.7% for cytoplasmic and nuclear Raman spectra, respectively; cell nucleus Raman spectra showed a sensitivity of 84.6% in identifying cervical anomalies. The classification efficiency and sensitivity obtained for nuclear spectra suggest that Raman spectroscopy could be helpful in the screening and diagnosis of premalignant lesions and cervical cancer.
