Abstract
The detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is of increasing importance in many areas including clinical diagnostics, patient stratification for pharmacogenomics, and advanced forensic analysis. In the work reported, we apply a semiautomated system for solid-phase electrochemical melting curve analysis (éMCA) for the identification of the allele present at a specific SNP site associated with an increased risk of bone fracture and predisposition to osteoporosis. Asymmetric isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification using ferrocene labeled forward primers was employed to generate single stranded redox labeled amplicons. In a first approach to demonstrate the proof of concept of combining asymmetric RPA with solid-phase éMCA, a simplified system housing a multielectrode array within a polymeric microsystem, sandwiched between two aluminum plates of a heater device, was used. Sample manipulation through the microfluidic channel was controlled by a syringe pump, and an external Ag/AgCl reference electrode was employed. Individual electrodes of the array were functionalized with four different oligonucleotide probes, each probe equivalent in design with the exception of the middle nucleotide. The isothermally generated amplicons were allowed to hybridize to the surface-tethered probes and subsequently subjected to a controlled temperature ramp, and the melting of the duplex was monitored electrochemically. A clear difference between the fully complementary and a single mismatch was observed. Having demonstrated the proof-of-concept, a device for automated éMCA with increased flexibility to house diverse electrode arrays with internal quasi-gold reference electrodes, higher resolution, and broader melting temperature range was developed and exploited for the detection of SNP hetero/homozygosity. Using the optimized conditions, the system was applied to the identification of the allele present at an osteoporosis associated SNP site, rs2741856, in 10 real fingerprick/venous blood samples, with results validated using Sanger sequencing.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that shed from the primary tumor and then enter the circulatory system, a small part of which may evolve into metastatic cancer under appropriate microenvironment conditions. The detection of CTCs is a truly noninvasive, dynamic monitor for disease changes, which has considerable clinical implications in the selection of targeted drugs. However, their inherent rarity and heterogeneity pose significant challenges to their isolation and detection. Even the "gold standard", CellSearch™, suffers from high expenses, low capture efficiency, and the consumption of time. With the advancement of CTCs analysis technologies in recent years, the yield and efficiency of CTCs enrichment have gradually been improved, as well as detection sensitivity. In this review, the isolation and detection strategies of CTCs have been completely described and the potential directions for future research and development have also been highlighted through analyzing the challenges faced by current strategies.

Abstract
Emerging and validated biomarkers promise to revolutionize clinical practice, shifting the emphasis away from the management of chronic disease towards prevention, early diagnosis and early intervention. The challenge of detecting these low abundance protein and nucleic acid biomarkers within the clinical context demands the development of highly sensitive, even single molecule, assays that are also capable of selectively measuring a small number of defined analytes in complex samples such as whole blood, interstitial fluid, saliva or urine. Success relies on significant innovations in nanomaterials, bioreceptor engineering, transduction strategies and microfluidics. Primarily using examples from our work, this article discusses some recent advance in the selective and sensitive detection of disease biomarkers, highlights key innovations in sensor materials and identifies issues and challenges that need to be carefully considered especially for researchers entering the field.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are spherical nanoparticles inherently released by almost all cell types. They acquire the cell's membrane and cytoplasmic characteristics offering abundant identical units that can be captured to recognize the cell of origin. The abundance of vital cell information and multifunctional roles in cellular processes has rendered them attention, particularly as promising biomarkers for disease diagnosis and use in potential drug delivery systems. This review provides insights into standard approaches towards cultivation and isolation of mammalian and bacterial extracellular vesicles. We assess gaps in conventional separation and detection technologies while also tracking developments in ongoing research. The review focuses on highlighting alternative state-of-the-art microfluidic devices that offer avenues for fast, cost-effective, precision-oriented capture and sensing of extracellular vesicles. Combining different detection technologies on an integrated "lab-on-a-chip" system has the prospective to provide customizable opportunities for clinical use of extracellular vesicles in disease diagnostics and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
A reagent-less DNA sensor has been developed exploiting a combination of gold nanoparticles, modified primers, and isothermal amplification. It is applied to the determination ofKarlodinium armiger, a toxic microalgae, as a model analyte to demonstrate this generic platform. Colloidal gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of 14 ± 0.87 nm were modified with a mixed self-assembled monolayer of thiolated 33-mer DNA probes and (6-mercaptohexyl) ferrocene. Modified primers, exploiting a C3 spacer between the primer-binding site and an engineered single-stranded tail, were used in an isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification reaction to produce an amplicon by two single-stranded tails. These tails were designed to be complementary to a gold electrode tethered capture oligo probe, and an oligo probe immobilized on the gold nanoparticles, respectively. The time required for hybridization of the target tailed DNA with the surface immobilized probe and reporter probe immobilized on AuNPs was optimized and reduced to 10 min, in both cases. Amplification time was further optimized to be 40 min to ensure the maximum signal. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection was found to be 1.6 fM of target dsDNA. Finally, the developed biosensor was successfully applied to the detection of genomic DNA extracted from a seawater sample that had been spiked with K. armiger cells. The demonstrated generic electrochemical genosensor can be exploited for the detection of any DNA sequence and ongoing work is moving towards an integrated system for use at the point-of-need.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are expected to serve as a blood-based biomarker in the diagnosis of cancers at an early stage, providing an opportunity to increase the survival of cancer patients. Current techniques for CTC detection were designed for some particular types of cancer with confirmed primary tumor origin. In this work, a platform for the detection of two cancer types and the identification of the primary tumor origin of CTCs was established to meet the requirement of cancer diagnosis and clinical application. A combined strategy based on in vivo capture method using antibody cocktail and multicolor fluorescence imaging using aptamer was designed to achieve the high-efficiency capture of CTCs and the accurate location of the primary tumor. An antibody cocktail of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was applied to capture breast cancer CTCs and hepatocellular CTCs in vivo. The capture efficiency of hepatocellular CTCs was significantly increased from 3.17% to 26.67% and the capture efficiency of breast cancer CTCs slightly increased from 27.00% to 29.84% compared with EpCAM-based capture of CTCs. Meanwhile, the primary tumor origins of breast cancer CTCs and hepatocellular CTCs were simultaneously distinguished by specific aptamer-based fluorescence probes without any signal crosstalk. The results of in vivo experiments using the dual tumor-bearing mouse model confirmed the feasibility of this method to capture CTCs and identify primary tumor origins. This simple and efficient approach has potential for future applications in cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Developing reliable and feasible electrochemical sensors for the detection of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is important because the urinary level of 8-OHdG is related to cancer disease. Moreover, the co-existed uric acid (UA) as an interference severe affects the sensitive detection of 8-OHdG. Herein, sensitive monitoring of 8-OHdG was conducted using a nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO@rGO) as the sensing material. This nanocomposite was prepared via in-situ reduction of GO with Zn powders. Compared with those obtained on the unmodified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and GO modified GCE (GO/GCE) the oxidation signals of 8-OHdG are significantly enhanced on the ZnO@rGO nanocomposite coated GCE (ZnO@rGO/GCE). Moreover, uricase has been employed successfully to eliminate the interferences of UA. A large amount of UA did not affect the oxidation signals of trace level of 8-OHdG. The linear range for the detection of 8-OHdG using ZnO@rGO/GCE was from 5.0 to 5000.0 nM. The detection limit was 1.25 nM calculated from a three-signal-to-noise ratio. The developed monitoring system is sensitive and selective for the determination of 8-OHdG and thus useful in practical applications, such as for the monitoring of 8-OHdG in the clinic urine samples.
