Abstract
Salmonella, the prevailing zoonotic pathogen within the Enterobacteriaceae family, holds the foremost position in global bacterial poisoning incidents, thereby signifying its paramount importance in public health. Consequently, the imperative for expeditious and uncomplicated detection techniques for Salmonella in food is underscored. After more than two decades of development, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has emerged as a potent adjunct to the polymerase chain reaction, demonstrating significant advantages in the realm of isothermal amplification. Its growing prominence is evident in the increasing number of reports on its application in the rapid detection of Salmonella. This paper provides a systematic exposition of the technical principles and characteristics of LAMP, along with an overview of the research progress made in the rapid detection of Salmonella using LAMP and its derivatives. Additionally, the target genes reported in various levels, including Salmonella genus, species, serogroup, and serotype, are summarized, aiming to offer a valuable reference for the advancement of LAMP application in Salmonella detection. Finally, we look forward to the development direction of LAMP and expect more competitive methods to provide strong support for food safety applications.

[PMID: 37002959 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.102870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Drying of biologically-relevant sessile droplets, including passive systems such as DNA, proteins, plasma, and blood, as well as active microbial systems comprising bacterial and algal dispersions, has garnered considerable attention over the last decades. Distinct morphological patterns emerge when bio-colloids undergo evaporative drying, with significant potential in a wide range of biomedical applications, spanning bio-sensing, medical diagnostics, drug delivery, and antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, the prospects of novel and thrifty bio-medical toolkits based on drying bio-colloids have driven tremendous progress in the science of morphological patterns and advanced quantitative image-based analysis. This review presents a comprehensive overview of bio-colloidal droplets drying on solid substrates, focusing on the experimental progress during the last ten years. We provide a summary of the physical and material properties of relevant bio-colloids and link their native composition (constituent particles, solvent, and concentrations) to the patterns emerging due to drying. We specifically examined the drying patterns generated by passive bio-colloids (e.g., DNA, globular, fibrous, composite proteins, plasma, serum, blood, urine, tears, and saliva). This article highlights how the emerging morphological patterns are influenced by the nature of the biological entities and the solvent, micro- and global environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity), and substrate attributes like wettability. Crucially, correlations between emergent patterns and the initial droplet compositions enable the detection of potential clinical abnormalities when compared with the patterns of drying droplets of healthy control samples, offering a blueprint for the diagnosis of the type and stage of a specific disease (or disorder). Recent experimental investigations of pattern formation in the bio-mimetic and salivary drying droplets in the context of COVID-19 are also presented. We further summarized the role of biologically active agents in the drying process, including bacteria, algae, spermatozoa, and nematodes, and discussed the coupling between self-propulsion and hydrodynamics during the drying process. We wrap up the review by highlighting the role of cross-scale in situ experimental techniques for quantifying sub-micron to micro-scale features and the critical role of cross-disciplinary approaches (e.g., experimental and image processing techniques with machine learning algorithms) to quantify and predict the drying-induced features. We conclude the review with a perspective on the next generation of research and applications based on drying droplets, ultimately enabling innovative solutions and quantitative tools to investigate this exciting interface of physics, biology, data sciences, and machine learning.

Abstract
For the identification of nucleic acids, which are important biomarkers of pathogen-mediated diseases and viruses, the gold standard for NA-based diagnostic applications is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, the requirements of PCR limit its application as a rapid point-of-care diagnostic technique. To address the challenges associated with regular PCR, many isothermal amplification methods have been developed to accurately detect NAs. Isothermal amplification methods enable NA amplification without changes in temperature with simple devices, as well as faster amplification times compared with regular PCR. Of the isothermal amplifications, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is the most studied because it amplifies NAs rapidly and specifically. This review describes the principles of LAMP, the methods used to monitor the process of LAMP, and examples of biosensors that detect the amplicons of LAMP. In addition, current trends in the application of LAMP to smartphones and self-diagnosis systems for point-of-care tests are also discussed.

Abstract
The raging COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for frequent and widespread testing to limit viral transmission. Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) has emerged as a promising diagnostic platform for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2, in part because it can be performed with simple instrumentation. However, isothermal amplification methods frequently yield spurious amplicons even in the absence of a template. Consequently, RT-LAMP assays can produce false positive results when they are based on generic intercalating dyes or pH-sensitive indicators. Here, we report the development of a sensitive RT-LAMP assay that leverages on a novel sequence-specific probe to guard against spurious amplicons. We show that our optimized fluorescent assay, termed LANTERN, takes only 30 min to complete and can be applied directly on swab or saliva samples. Furthermore, utilizing clinical RNA samples from 52 patients with COVID-19 infection and 21 healthy individuals, we demonstrate that our diagnostic test exhibits a specificity and positive predictive value of 95% with a sensitivity of 8 copies per reaction. Hence, our new probe-based RT-LAMP assay can serve as an inexpensive method for point-of-need diagnosis of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Abstract
Paper devices have attracted great attention for their rapid development in multiple fields, such as life sciences, biochemistry, and materials science. When manufacturing paper chips, flexible materials, such as cellulose paper or other porous flexible membranes, can offer several advantages in terms of their flexibility, lightweight, low cost, safety and wearability. However, traditional cellulose paper sheets with chaotic cellulose fiber constitutions do not have special structures and optical characteristics, leading to poor repeatability and low sensitivity during biochemical sensing, limiting their wide application. Recent evidence showed that the addition of ordered structure provides a promising method for manufacturing intelligent flexible devices, making traditional flexible devices with multiple functions (microfluidics, motion detection and optical display). There is an urgent need for an overall summary of the evolution of paper devices so that readers can fully understand the field. Hence, in this review, we summarized the latest developments in intelligent paper devices, starting with the fabrication of paper and smart flexible paper devices, in the fields of biology, chemistry, electronics, etc. First, we outlined the manufacturing methods and applications of both traditional cellulose paper devices and modern smart devices based on pseudopaper (order paper). Then, considering different materials, such as cellulose, nitrocellulose, nature sourced photonic crystals (photonic crystals sourced from nature directly) and artificial photonic crystals, we summarized a new type of smart flexible device containing an ordered structure. Next, the applications of paper devices in biochemical sensing, wearable sensing, and cross-scale sensing were discussed. Finally, we summarized the development direction of this field. The aim of this review is to take an integral cognition approach to the development of smart flexible paper devices in multiple fields and promote communications between materials science, biology, chemistry and electrical science.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between liquid manipulation and micro-/nanostructured interfaces has gained much attention due to the wide potential applications in many fields, such as chemical and biomedical assays, environmental protection, industry, and even daily life. Much work has been done to construct various materials with interfacial liquid manipulation abilities, leading to a range of interesting applications. Herein, different fabrication methods from the top-down approach to the bottom-up approach and subsequent surface modifications of micro-/nanostructured interfaces are first introduced. Then, interactions between the surface and liquid, including liquid wetting, liquid transportation, and a number of corresponding models, together with the definition of hydrophilic/hydrophobic, oleophilic/olephobic, the definition and mechanism of superwetting, including superhydrophobicity, superhydrophilicity, and superoleophobicity, are presented. The micro-/nanostructured interface, with major applications in self-cleaning, antifogging, anti-icing, anticorrosion, drag-reduction, oil-water separation, water collection, droplet (micro)array, and surface-directed liquid transport, is summarized, and the mechanisms underlying each application are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives in this area are included.

Abstract
Multiplexed quantification of mycotoxins is of great significance in food safety. Here, novel photonic crystal (PhC) barcodes with G-quadruplex aptamer encapsulated for label-free multiplex mycotoxins quantification are developed. The probes are immobilized on PhC barcodes to form a molecular beacon (MB), which contains the sequences of mycotoxin aptamers and a G-quadruplex. In the presence of the target, the hairpin structure of MB would open and the region of the G-quadruplex is exposed, which subsequently combines with Thioflavin T (ThT) to produce fluorescence. The relative fluorescence intensity increased as the mycotoxins concentration increased in a linear range from 1.0 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL. Moreover, the multiplexed mycotoxins quantification could be achieved by tuning the structural color of the PhC barcodes. We demonstrate that this method with high accuracy and specificity for multiplexed detection of mycotoxins, with the sensitivity of the detection as low as 0.70 pg/mL. Our results show that G-quadruplex-encapsulated PhC barcodes offer a novel simple and label-free pathway toward the multiplex screen assay of mycotoxins for food safety.

Abstract
Multiplexed detection of microRNA (miRNA) is of great value in clinical diagnosis. Here, a new type of polydopamine (PDA) encapsulated photonic crystal (PhC) barcodes are employed for target-triggering cycle amplification and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to achieve multiplex miRNA quantification. The PDA-decorated PhC barcodes not only exhibit distinctive structural color for different encoding miRNAs, they also can immobilize biomolecules, allowing subsequent reaction with amino-modified hairpin probes (H1). When the PDA-decorated PhC barcodes are used in assays, target miRNAs can be circularly used to initiate HCR for cycle amplification. Therefore, by tuning the structural colors of the PDA-integrated PhC, the multiplexed miRNA quantification could be realized. We demonstrate that our strategy for multiplexed detection of miRNA is reasonably accurate, reliable and repeatable, with a detection limit as low as 8.0 fM. Our results show that PDA encapsulated PhC barcodes as a novel platform offer a pathway toward the multiplex analysis of low-abundance biomarkers for biomedical assays.
