Abstract
DNA polymerases are essential enzymes that play a key role in living organisms, as they participate in the synthesis and maintenance of the DNA molecule. The intrinsic properties of these enzymes have been widely observed and studied to understand their functions, activities, and behavior, which has allowed their natural power in DNA synthesis to be exploited in modern biotechnology, to the point of making them true pillars of the field. In this context, the laboratory evolution of these enzymes, either by directed evolution or rational design, has led to the generation of a wide range of new DNA polymerases with novel properties, suitable for a variety of biotechnological needs. In this review, we examine DNA polymerases at the molecular level, their biotechnological use, and their evolutionary methods in relation to the novel properties sought, providing a chronological selection of evolved DNA polymerases cited in the literature that we consider to be of great interest. To our knowledge, this work is the first to bring together the molecular, functional and evolutionary aspects of the DNA polymerase enzyme. We believe it will be of great interest to researchers whose aim is to produce new lines of evolved DNA polymerases.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped DNA virus transmitted through skin-to-skin contact that infects epithelial and mucosal tissue. It has over 200 known genotypes, classified by their pathogenicity as high-risk and low-risk categories. High-risk HPV genotypes are associated with the development of different types of cancers, including cervical cancer, which is a leading cause of mortality in women. In clinical practice and the market, the principal tests used to detect HPV are based on cytology, hybrid detection, and qPCR. However, these methodologies may not be ideal for the required timely diagnosis. Tests have been developed based on isothermal nucleic acid amplification tests (INAATs) as alternatives. These tests offer multiple advantages over the qPCR, such as not requiring specialized laboratories, highly trained personnel, or expensive equipment like thermocyclers. This review analyzes the different INAATs applied for the detection of HPV, considering the specific characteristics of each test, including the HPV genotypes, gene target, the limit of detection (LOD), detection methods, and detection time. Additionally, we discuss the tests available on the market that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Finally, we address the challenges and potential solutions for the large-scale implementation of INAATs, particularly in rural or underserved areas.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7215.

Abstract
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are common pathogens that are associated with a variety of diseases, including respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Without reliable, fast, and cost-effective detection methods for HAdVs, patients may be misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. To address this problem, we have developed a multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of the species Human adenovirus B (HAdV-B), Human adenovirus C (HAdV-C) and Human adenovirus E (HAdV-E) that cause RTIs. This multiplexing approach is based on the melting curve analysis of the amplicons with a specific melting temperature for each HAdV species. Without the need for typing of HAdVs, the LAMP results can be visually detected using colorimetric analysis. The assay reliably detects at least 375 copies of HAdV-B and -C and 750 copies of HAdV-E DNA per reaction in less than 35 min at 60 °C. The designed primers have no in silico cross-reactivity with other human respiratory pathogens. Validation on 331 nasal swab samples taken from patients with RTIs showed a 90-94% agreement rate with our in-house multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method. Concordance between the quantitative and visual LAMP was 99%. The novel multiplexed LAMP could be an alternative to PCR for diagnostic purposes, saving personnel and equipment time, or could be used for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of pathogens is critical in interrupting the transmission chain of infectious diseases. Currently, real-time (RT-)PCR represents the gold standard for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. RNase HII-assisted amplification (RHAM) is a promising technology, enabling reliable point-of-care (PoC) testing; however, its diagnostic accuracy has not yet been investigated. The present study compared the Pluslife Mini Dock (RHAM technology), with Abbott ID Now and Cepheid GeneXpert IV. The positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) were determined in 100 SARS-CoV-2 positive and 210 SARS-CoV-2 negative samples. Further, the reliability of the Pluslife Mini Dock was investigated in different SARS-CoV-2 variants (Delta and Omicron subvariants). The PPA was 99.00% for Pluslife, 100.00% for Abbott ID Now, and 99.00% for Cepheid GeneXpert, with an NPA of 100.00%, 98.90%, and 93.72%, respectively. Abbott ID Now demonstrated the highest rate of invalid results. All SARS-CoV-2 analysed variants were detected by the Pluslife device. Altogether, the Pluslife Mini Dock demonstrated a PPA of 99.16% (235/237) for CT < 36 and an NPA of 100.00% (313/313), respectively. In conclusion, the Pluslife Mini Dock demonstrated better analytical performance than Abbott ID Now and Cepheid GeneXpert IV, representing a highly accurate and rapid PoC alternative to RT-PCR.

Abstract
Herein, a nucleic acid assay based on autocatalytic hairpin assembly (ACHA) was proposed. In this system, two split G-quadruplex sequences were integrated into H1 and H2, respectively. And a DNA strand with the same sequence to target DNA was integrated into the assistant hairpin H3. In the presence of target DNA, the hairpin structure of H1 was opened and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) was activated, and then a series of DNA assembly steps based on the toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement were triggered and the product H1-H2 with sticky ends on both sides was formed. On the one side of H1-H2, the split two G-quadruplex sequences were close enough to form the intact G-quadruplex for the signal readout. At the same time, two sticky ends on the other side of H1-H2 hybridized with H3 and a new sticky end with the sequence same to the target DNA was exposed, which can immediately trigger the autocatalytic hairpin assembly reaction, and then the reaction rate of CHA was effectively accelerated and the colorimetric signal was significantly amplified. This ACHA signal amplified strategy has been successfully applied for the rapid and colorimetric nucleic acid detection.

Abstract
Biosensors have emerged as ideal analytical devices for various bio-applications owing to their low cost, convenience, and portability, which offer great potential for improving global healthcare. DNA self-assembly techniques have been enriched with the development of innovative amplification strategies, such as dispersion-to-localization of catalytic hairpin assembly, and dumbbell hybridization chain reaction, which hold great significance for building biosensors capable of realizing sensitive, rapid and multiplexed detection of pathogenic microorganisms. Here, focusing primarily on the signal amplification strategies based on DNA self-assembly, we concisely summarized the strengths and weaknesses of diverse isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques. Subsequently, both single-layer and cascade amplification strategies based on traditional catalytic hairpin assembly and hybridization chain reaction were critically explored. Furthermore, a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in DNA self-assembled biosensors for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms is presented to summarize methods for biorecognition and signal amplification. Finally, a brief discussion is provided about the current challenges and future directions of DNA self-assembled biosensors.

Abstract
DNA methylation plays an important role in epigenetic modification. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) is essential in the DNA methylation process, and its abnormal expression is closely related to cancer. In this study, we propose a novel biosensor platform (DS-GlaI-EXPAR) that combines hemi-methylated double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as the substrate for DNMT1 with GlaI-assisted isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) for rapid, simple, and sensitive detection of DNMT1 activity. The hemi-methylated dsDNA is fully methylated by DNMT1, and GlaI recognizes and cleaves the fully methylated sequence, generating terminal fragments that trigger EXPAR for efficient signal amplification. Whereas hemi-methylated dsDNA without DNMT1 will keep intact and cannot initiate EXPAR. DNMT1 activity can therefore be sensitively quantified by the real-time fluorescence signal of the DS-GlaI-EXPAR platform. The high-efficiency amplification of EXPAR and the recognition of GlaI enable the platform to overcome the inherent cumbersome and time-consuming shortcomings of traditional methods while meeting specificity and sensitivity. This DS-GlaI-EXPAR platform offers an impressively low limit of detection of 0.86 pg/μL and the entire detection process can be completed in a short time of 2.5 h in a single tube. Furthermore, DNMT1 activity detected by this platform in MCF-7 cells was significantly higher than that of HEK293 cells, and the inhibition of Apt. #9 was verified. This DNMT1 activity detection platform is very convenient and effective for the discovery of inhibitors and early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA tweezers, classified as DNA nanomachines, have gained prominence as multifunctional biosensors due to their advantages, including a straightforward structure, response mechanism, and high programmability. While the DNA tweezers demonstrate simultaneous, rapid, and stable responses to different targets, their detection sensitivity requires enhancement. Some small molecules, such as mycotoxins, often require more sensitive detection due to their extremely high toxicity. Therefore, more effective signal amplification strategies are needed to further enhance the sensitivity of DNA tweezers in biosensing. RESULTS We designed programmable DNA tweezers that detect small-molecule mycotoxins and miRNAs through simple sequence substitution. While the DNA tweezers demonstrate simultaneous, rapid, and stable responses to different targets, their detection sensitivity requires enhancement. We introduced the Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA) technique to address this limitation, proposing a strategy of novel programmable DNA tweezers-SDA ultrasensitive signal amplification fluorescence sensing. We specifically investigate the effectiveness of this approach concerning signal amplification for two critical mycotoxins: aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN). Results indicate that the detection ranges of AFB1 and ZEN via this strategy were 1-10,000 pg mL -1 and 10-100,000 pg mL -1, respectively, with corresponding detection limits of 0.933 pg mL -1 and 1.07 pg mL -1. Compared with the DNA tweezers direct detection method for mycotoxins, the newly constructed programmable DNA tweezers-SDA fluorescence sensing strategy achieved a remarkable 104-fold increase in the detection sensitivity for AFB1 and ZEN. SIGNIFICANCE The constructed programmable DNA tweezers-SDA ultrasensitive signal-amplified fluorescence sensing strategy exhibits excellent detection performance for mycotoxins. The superb versatility of this strategy allows the developed method to be easily used for detecting other analytes by simply replacing the aptamer and cDNA, which has incredible potential in various fields such as food safety screening, clinical diagnostics, and environmental analysis.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of pathogens is of utmost importance in interrupting the transmission chain of infectious diseases. In recent years, this has proven to be vital during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic that put countless lives at risk. Numerous molecular diagnostic methods were used, including RT-PCR, NASBA, E-SDA, E-RCA, LAMP, and RPA. However, these technologies potentially require primer optimization and complex instruments. Here, we propose the RHAM (RNase Hybridization-Assisted amplification) system as a rapid, specific, and sensitive molecular diagnosis platform. Combining the LAMP and RNase HII-mediated fluorescent reporter, the RHAM system can amplify and visualize the target in one isothermal system with high sensitivity (5 × 102 copies/mL). There was no cross-reactivity with other common respiratory viruses. Analysis of clinical samples revealed the RHAM system to generate positive signals within 15 min without false positive or negative results. The present study shows that RHAM is not only an ideal platform for detecting pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2 but can be potentially applied in POCT settings.

Ultrasound-enhanced catalytic hairpin assembly capable of ultrasensitive microRNA biosensing for the early screening of Alzheimer's disease. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 242:115746. [PMID: 37832346 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) is a promising enzyme-free, isothermal signal amplification strategy, but the relatively time-consuming strand replacement limits its application scenarios. Here, we developed an ultrasound-enhanced catalytic hairpin assembly (UECHA) biosensing platform for early screening of Alzheimer's disease by introducing a portable acoustic-drive platform with functionalized microspheres for effective biomarkers enrichment and fluorescence enhancement. By constructing a gradient ultrasonic field in a microcavity, the platform concentrates the functionalized microspheres in a central position, accompanied by an enhanced fluorescence signal with a specific release. In addition, the programmable frequency modulation can also modify the acoustic potential well and effectively promote non-equilibrium chemical reactions such as CHA (25 min). Compared with the conventional catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), UECHA allows for direct and quantitative measurement of AD miRNAs down to 3.55 × 10-15 M in 1 μL samples. This visual analysis of ultra-trace biomarkers based on acoustic enrichment and promotion provides a new perspective for the rapid and highly sensitive clinical detection of Alzheimer's disease.

Strategy of functional nucleic acids-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of foodborne microbial contaminants: A review. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113286.

Abstract
Foodborne microbial contamination (FMC) is the leading cause of food poisoning and foodborne illness. The foodborne microbial detection methods based on isothermal amplification have high sensitivity and short detection time, and functional nucleic acids (FNAs) could extend the detectable object of isothermal amplification to mycotoxins. Therefore, the strategy of FNAs-mediated isothermal amplification has been emergingly applied in biosensors for foodborne microbial contaminants detection, making biosensors more sensitive with lower cost and less dependent on nanomaterials for signal output. Here, the mechanism of six isothermal amplification technologies and their application in detecting FMC is firstly introduced. Then the strategy of FNAs-mediated isothermal amplification is systematically discussed from perspectives of FNAs' versatility including recognition elements (Aptamer, DNAzyme), programming tools (DNA tweezer, DNA walker and CRISPR-Cas) and signal units (G-quadruplex, FNAs-based nanomaterials). Finally, challenges and prospects are presented in terms of addressing the issue of nonspecific amplification reaction, developing better FNAs-based sensing elements and eliminating food matrix effects.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that can play important roles as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancers and other diseases. Herein, an identification-cleavage-amplification (ICA) strategy for highly sensitive and versatile detection of miRNA has been proposed, and successfully applied to miR-155 and miR-21 assays. It combines an aligner-target mediated cleavage with strand displacement amplification (ATMC-SDA) to achieve the ICA process. During the identification process, a DNA-aligner (DA) and a DNA-amplicon (DM) can bind together with the help of target miRNA, forming a T-junction structure. Then, a nicking endonuclease (NEase), binding on the recognition sequence at the stem part of DA, can make a cleavage on DM, and the cleaved DM (CDM) can serve as an initiator to trigger the SDA reaction for signal amplification. Sharing the same set of enzymes and primers, the proposed ATMC-SDA can serve as a versatile ICA strategy for highly sensitive detection of various miRNAs, without the requirement of reverse transcription. Results show that the limits of detection (LOD) for miR-155 and miR-21 are 5.4 aM and 6.8 aM, respectively, with a dynamic range from 10.0 aM to 10.0 pM. The compatibility of ATMC-SDA with biological samples has also been tested by using human serum, indicating a promising potential for a wide variety of applications.

Abstract
Since the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant was first discovered, several variants showing different infectivity and immune responses have emerged globally. As the conventional method, whole-genome sequencing following polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is currently used for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 mutations. However, these conventional PCR-based direct DNA sequencing methods are time-consuming, complicated, and require expensive DNA sequencing modules. Here, we developed a fluorometric method for the accurate detection of a single missense mutation of U to G in the spike (S) gene that changes leucine to arginine (L452R) in SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA. Our method for the detection of single-nucleotide mutations (SNM) in the viral RNA genome includes RNA sequence-dependent DNA ligation and tandem isothermal gene amplification methods, such as strand displacement amplification (SDA) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) generating G-quadruplex (GQ). In the presence of SNM in the viral RNA, ligation of both ends of the probe DNAs occurs between 5'-phosphorylated hairpin DNA and linear probe DNA that can discriminate a single base mismatch. The ligated DNAs were then extended to generate long-stem hairpin DNAs that are subjected to the first isothermal gene amplification (SDA). SDA produces multitudes of short ssDNA from the long-stem hairpin DNAs, which then serve as primers by annealing to circular padlock DNA for the second isothermal gene amplification (RCA). RCA produces a long stretch of ssDNA containing GQ structures. Thioflavin T (ThT) is then intercalated into GQ and emits green fluorescence, which allows the fluorometric identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants. This fluorometric analysis sensitively distinguished SNM in the L452R variant of SARS-CoV-2 RNA as low as 10 pM within 2 h. Hence, this fluorometric detection method using ligation-assisted tandem isothermal gene amplification can be applied for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 SNM variants with high accuracy and sensitivity, without the need for cumbersome whole-genome DNA sequencing.

Abstract
Food safety problems have become one of the most important public health issues worldwide. Therefore, the development of rapid, effective and robust detection is of great importance. Amongst a range of methods, nucleic acid isothermal amplification (NAIA) plays a great role in food safety detection. However, the widespread application remains limited due to a few shortcomings. CRISPR/Cas system has emerged as a powerful tool in nucleic acid detection, which could be readily integrated with NAIA to improve the detection sensitivity, specificity, adaptability versatility and dependability. However, currently there was a lack of a comprehensive summary regarding the integration of NAIA and CRISPR/Cas in the field of food safety detection. In this review, the recent advances in food safety detection based on CRISPR/Cas-integrated NAIA were comprehensively reviewed. To begin with, the development of NAIA was summarized. Then, the types and working principles of CRISPR/Cas were introduced. The applications of the integration of NAIA and CRISPR/Cas for food safety were mainly introduced and objectively discussed. Lastly, current challenges and future opportunities were proposed. In summary, this technology is expected to become an important approach for food safety detection, leading to a safer and more reliable food industry.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are prominent biomarkers for diagnosing infectious pathogens using nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAATs). PCR, a gold standard technique for amplifying nucleic acids, is widely used in scientific research and diagnosis. Efficient pathogen detection is a key to adequate food safety and hygiene. However, using bulky thermal cyclers and costly laboratory setup limits its uses in developing countries, including India. The isothermal amplification methods are exploited to develop miniaturized sensors against viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogenic organisms and have been applied for in situ diagnosis. Isothermal amplification techniques have been found suitable for POC techniques and follow WHO's ASSURED criteria. LAMP, NASBA, SDA, RCA and RPA are some of the isothermal amplification techniques which are preferable for POC diagnostics. Furthermore, methods such as WGA, CPA, HDA, EXPAR, SMART, SPIA and DAMP were introduced for even more accuracy and robustness. Using recombinant polymerases and other nucleic acid-modifying enzymes has dramatically broadened the detection range of target pathogens under the scanner. The coupling of isothermal amplification methods with advanced technologies such as CRISPR/Cas systems, fluorescence-based chemistries, microfluidics and paper-based sensors has significantly influenced the biosensing and diagnosis field. This review comprehensively analyzed isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods, emphasizing their advantages, disadvantages and limitations.

Abstract
ConspectusWith unparalleled programmability, DNA has evolved as a powerful scaffold for engineering intricate and dynamic systems that can perform diverse tasks. By allowing serial detection of molecular targets in complex cellular milieus, increasingly sophisticated DNA sensors have not only promoted significant advances in unveiling the fundamental mechanisms of various pathophysiological processes but also provided a useful toolkit for disease diagnostics based on molecular signatures. Despite much progress, an inherent limitation of DNA-based sensors is that they often lack spatial control and cell-type selectivity for the sensing activity because of their "always active" design mechanism. Since most molecular targets of interests are not exclusive to disease cells, they are also shared by normal cells, the application of such biosensors for disease-specific imaging is limited by inadequate signal-to-background ratios due to indistinguishable signal response in both disease and normal cells. Therefore, imparting biosensors with spatial controllability remains a key issue to achieve molecular imaging with high sensitivity and cell specificity.As a biocatalyst, enzyme has been found to be closely related with the pathological conditions of numerous diseases. For example, many nucleases, protease, and kinases have been identified overexpressed in disease cells and considered as important biomarkers of cancer, inflammation, and neurological diseases. Recently, we have envisioned that such pathophysiology-associated enzymes could be leveraged as endogenous triggers to achieve spatial control over the molecular imaging activity of the DNA-based sensors with improved cell-specificity. In this Account, we outline the research efforts from our group on the development of endogenous enzyme-triggered, DNA-based sensor technology that enables spatially controlled, cell-type selective molecular imaging. With programmable DNA design and further engineering of enzymatically cleavable sites, a series of DNAzyme- and aptamer-based sensors have been developed for enzyme-controlled imaging of various molecular targets (e.g., metal ions and small molecules) in a cancer cell-selective manner. In particular, by introduction of PNA as bridge molecules to engineer DNA-based sensors with functional peptides, the conceptual design of protease-activated DNA biosensors has been established for spatioselective molecular imaging in cancer cells and extracellular tumor microenvironments. Furthermore, enzyme-triggered signal amplification approaches, such as enzymatically activated molecular beacon and catalytic hairpin assembly, have been developed for spatially selective RNA imaging in specific disease cells (e.g., inflammatory cells and cancer cells), which enables enhanced disease-site specificity and thus improved signal-to-background ratio. The signal amplification strategy is further expanded to cell-selective amplified imaging of non-RNA species through the combination with functional DNA design. Finally, the challenges and potential future directions in this burgeoning field are discussed. We hope this Account offers insights into rational design of enzymatically controlled, DNA-based sensor platforms for opening new frontiers in spatially resolved, cell-selective molecular imaging. We believe that the continuing advances in DNA-based molecular sensing technology together with the discoveries of diverse disease-associated enzymes will promise to usher a new era of diagnosis.

Abstract
In the same way that specialized DNA polymerases (DNAPs) replicate cellular and viral genomes, only a handful of dedicated proteins from various natural origins as well as engineered versions are appropriate for competent exponential amplification of whole genomes and metagenomes (WGA). Different applications have led to the development of diverse protocols, based on various DNAPs. Isothermal WGA is currently widely used due to the high performance of Φ29 DNA polymerase, but PCR-based methods are also available and can provide competent amplification of certain samples. Replication fidelity and processivity must be considered when selecting a suitable enzyme for WGA. However, other properties, such as thermostability, capacity to couple replication, and double helix unwinding, or the ability to maintain DNA replication opposite to damaged bases, are also very relevant for some applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the different properties of DNAPs widely used in WGA and discuss their limitations and future research directions.

Abstract
Arboviruses are a diverse family of vector-borne pathogens that include members of the Flaviviridae, Togaviridae, Phenuviridae, Peribunyaviridae, Reoviridae, Asfarviridae, Rhabdoviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Poxviridae families. It is thought that new world arboviruses such as yellow fever virus emerged in the 16th century due to the slave trade from Africa to America. Severe disease-causing viruses in humans include Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), yellow fever virus (YFV), dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), Zika virus (ZIKV), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) and Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). Numerous methods have been developed to detect the presence of these pathogens in clinical samples, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), lateral flow assays (LFAs) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Most of these assays are performed in centralized laboratories due to the need for specialized equipment, such as PCR thermal cyclers and dedicated infrastructure. More recently, molecular methods have been developed which can be performed at a constant temperature, termed isothermal amplification, negating the need for expensive thermal cycling equipment. In most cases, isothermal amplification can now be carried out in as little as 5-20 min. These methods can potentially be used as inexpensive point of care (POC) tests and in-field deployable applications, thus decentralizing the molecular diagnosis of arboviral disease. This review focuses on the latest developments in isothermal amplification technology and detection techniques that have been applied to arboviral diagnostics and highlights future applications of these new technologies.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems are becoming powerful tools for disease biomarkers detection. Due to the specific recognition, cis-cleavage and nonspecific trans-cleavage capabilities, CRISPR/Cas systems have implemented the detection of nucleic acid targets (DNA and RNA) as well as non-nucleic acid targets (e.g., proteins, exosomes, cells, and small molecules). In this review, we first summarize the principles and characteristics of various CRISPR/Cas systems, including CRISPR/Cas9, Cas12, Cas13 and Cas14 systems. Then, various types of applications of CRISPR/Cas systems used in detecting nucleic and non-nucleic acid targets are introduced emphatically. Finally, the prospects and challenges of their applications in biosensing are discussed.

Abstract
Recent advances in CRISPR-based biotechnologies have greatly expanded our capabilities to repurpose CRISPR for the development of molecular diagnostic systems. The key attribute that allows CRISPR to be widely utilized is its programmable and highly specific nature. In this review, we first illustrate the principle of the class 2 CRISPR nucleases for molecular diagnostics which originates from their immunologic defence systems. Next, we present the CRISPR-based schemes in the application of diagnostics with amplification-assisted or amplification-free strategies. By highlighting some of the recent advances we interpret how general bioengineering methodologies can be integrated with CRISPR. Finally, we discuss the challenges and exciting prospects for future CRISPR-based biosensing development. We hope that this review will guide the reader to systematically learn the start-of-the-art development of CRISPR-mediated nucleic acid detection and understand how to apply the CRISPR nucleases with different design concepts to more general applications in diagnostics and beyond.

Abstract
Nucleic acid testing for HIV plays an important role in the early diagnosis and monitoring of antiretroviral therapy outcomes in HIV patients and HIV-infected infants. Currently, the main molecular diagnostic methods employed are complex, time-consuming, and expensive to operate in resource-limited areas. Isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology overcomes some of the shortcomings of traditional assays and makes it possible to use point-of-care tests for molecular HIV detection. Here, we summarize and discuss the latest technological advances in isothermal nucleic acid amplification for HIV detection, with the intent of providing guidance for the development of subsequent HIV assays with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a hairpin probe-mediated exponential amplification reaction (HEAR) strategy that combines DNA strand displacement with a "who triggers, who gets generated" mode, providing excellent single-base discrimination and a reduced background signal. The detection limit is 19 aM, which is reduced by 3 orders of magnitude compared to traditional exponential amplification approaches. This one-pot strategy also exhibits a wide dynamic range, high specificity and short detection time. It is expected to become a powerful tool for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN), a widespread mycotoxin, can cause great harm to people's health. In order to assay ZEN, an immobilization-free electrochemical sensor has been developed. A multifunctional hairpin DNA has been carefully designed, including three functions: the aptamer for zearalenone (ZEN), primer, and template sequence. This hairpin DNA can anchor on polydopamine nanospheres (PDANSs), which can protect DNA against the digestion of enzymes and prevent the occurrence of strand displacement amplification (SDA). In the presence of ZEN, the hairpin DNA is dissociated from PDANSs due to the interaction between ZEN and the aptamer, and the SDA reaction is initiated with the help of endonuclease and polymerase. During the SDA process, substantial amounts of negatively charged dsDNA are generated. The MB molecules are embedded into the dsDNA grooves to obtain the complex with a negative charge. The confined MB is repelled on the surface of the negatively charged ITO electrode, leading to the decline of the current. This immobilization-free method possesses high sensitivity (LOD of 0.18 pg mL-1) and good selectivity and can be applied to assay ZEN in corn flour.

Abstract
Orf is an important zoonotic disease caused by the Orf virus (ORFV) which can cause contagious pustular dermatitis in goats and sheep. Orf is widespread in most sheep-raising countries in the world, causing huge economic losses. Although diagnostic methods for ORFV infection already exist, it is still necessary to develop a time-saving, labor-saving, specific, low-cost and visual diagnostic method for rapid detection of ORFV in the field and application in grassroots laboratories. This study establishes a DNA extraction-free, real-time, visual recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) method for the rapid detection of ORFV. This method is specific to ORFV and does not cross-react with other common DNA viruses. The detection limits of the real-time RAA and visual judgment of the RAA assay at 95% probability were 13 and 21 copies per reaction for ORFV, respectively. Compared with qPCR, the sensitivity and specificity of the real-time RAA assay were 100%, and those of the visual RAA assay were 92.31% and 100.0%, respectively. The DNA extraction-free visual detection method of RAA established in this study can meet the needs of rapid onsite detection and grassroots laboratories and has important reference value and significance for the early diagnosis of diseased animals.

Abstract
In the past few years, with the in-depth research of functional nucleic acids and isothermal amplification techniques, their applications in the field of biosensing have attracted great interest. Since functional nucleic acids have excellent flexibility and convenience in their structural design, they have significant advantages as recognition elements in biosensing. At the same time, isothermal amplification techniques have higher amplification efficiency, so the combination of functional nucleic acids and isothermal amplification techniques can greatly promote the widespread application of biosensors. For the purpose of further improving the performance of biosensors, this review introduces several widely used functional nucleic acids and isothermal amplification techniques, as well as their classification, basic principles, application characteristics, and summarizes their important applications in the field of biosensing. We hope to provide some references for the design and construction of new tactics to enhance the detection sensitivity and detection range of biosensing.

Abstract
Infectious diseases and tumors have become the biggest medical challenges in the 21st century. They are driven by multiple factors such as population growth, aging, climate change, genetic predispositions and more. Nucleic acid amplification technologies (NAATs) are used for rapid and accurate diagnostic testing, providing critical information in order to facilitate better follow-up treatment and prognosis. NAATs are widely used due their high sensitivity, specificity, rapid amplification and detection. It should be noted that different NAATs can be selected according to different environments and research fields; for example, isothermal amplification with a simple operation can be preferred in developing countries or resource-poor areas. In the field of translational medicine, CRISPR has shown great prospects. The core component of NAAT lies in the activity of different enzymes. As the most critical material of nucleic acid amplification, the key role of the enzyme is self-evident, playing the upmost important role in molecular diagnosis. In this review, several common enzymes used in NAATs are compared and described in detail. Furthermore, we summarize both the advances and common issues of NAATs in clinical application.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic (caused by the SARS_CoV_2 virus) has emphasized the need for quick, easy-to-operate, reliable, and affordable diagnostic tests and devices at the Point-of-Care (POC) for homes/fields/clinics. Such tests and devices will contribute significantly to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and any future infectious disease epidemic. Often, academic research studies and those from industry lack knowledge of each other's developments. Here, we introduced DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and isothermal amplification reactions and reviewed the current commercially available POC nucleic acid diagnostic devices. In addition, we reviewed the history and the recent advancements in an effort to develop reliable, quick, portable, cost-effective, and automatic point-of-care nucleic acid diagnostic devices, from sample to result. The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap between academia and industry and to share important knowledge on this subject.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is the most popular technology for point-of-care testing applications due its rapid, sensitive and specific detection with simple instrumentation compared to PCR-based methods. Many systems for reading the results of LAMP amplifications exist, including real-time fluorescence detection using fluorophore-labelled probes attached to oligonucleotide sequences complementary to the target nucleic acid. This methodology allows the simultaneous detection of multiple targets (multiplexing) in one LAMP assay. A method for multiplexing LAMP is the amplification by release of quenching (DARQ) technique by using a 5'-quencher modified LAMP primer annealed to 3'-fluorophore-labelled acting as detection oligonucleotide. The main application of multiplex LAMP is the rapid and accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases, allowing differentiation of co-infecting pathogens in a single reaction. Schistosomiasis, caused among other species by Schistosoma mansoni and strongyloidiasis, caused by Strongyloides stercoralis, are the most common helminth-parasite infections worldwide with overlapping distribution areas and high possibility of coinfections in the human population. It would be of great interest to develop a duplex LAMP to detect both pathogens in the same reaction. In this study, we investigate the use of our two previously developed and well-stablished LAMP assays for S. mansoni and Strongyloides spp. DNA detection in a new duplex real-time eight-primer system based on a modified DARQ probe method that can be performed in a portable isothermal fluorimeter with minimal laboratory resources. We also applied a strategy to stabilize the duplexed DARQ-LAMP mixtures at room temperature for use as ready-to-use formats facilitating analysis in field settings as point-of-care diagnostics for schistosomiasis and strongyloidiasis.

Abstract
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused millions of fatalities all over the world. Unquestionably, the effective and timely testing for infected individuals is the most imperative for the prevention of the ongoing pandemic. Herein, a new method was established for detecting SARS-CoV-2 based on the self-priming hairpin-utilized isothermal amplification of the G-rich sequence (SHIAG). In this strategy, the target RNA binding to the hairpin probe (HP) was uniquely devised to lead to the self-priming-mediated extension followed by the continuously repeated nicking and extension reactions, consequently generating abundant G-rich sequences from the intended reaction capable of producing fluorescence signals upon specifically interacting with thioflavin T (ThT). Based on the unique isothermal design concept, we successfully identified SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA (gRNA) as low as 0.19 fM with excellent selectivity by applying only a single HP and further verified its practical diagnostic capability by reliably testing a total of 100 clinical specimens for COVID-19 with 100% clinical sensitivity and specificity. This study would provide notable insights into the design and evolution of new isothermal strategies for the sensitive and facile detection of SARS-CoV-2 under resource constraints.

Abstract
Background Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification method using only one type of enzyme that can amplify DNA with high specificity, efficiency and rapidity under isothermal conditions. Chips for Complicated Infection Detection (CCID) is based on LAMP. This study translate CCID into clinical application and evaluate its diagnostic value for pneumonia. Methods Eighty one older patients with pneumonia were prospectively enrolled from January 1 to July 23, 2021, and 57 sputum/airway secretion and 35 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were collected and analyzed by CCID and conventional microbiological tests (CMTs). Samples were collected, transported, monitored, and managed by a multidisciplinary team using a sample management information system. Results CCID turnaround time was 50 min, and the detection limit was 500 copies/reaction. The percentage of positive samples was significantly higher using CCID than CMTs, especially for Klebsiella pneumoniae (odds ratio [OR], 9.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-70.5; p < 0.05), Enterococcus faecalis (OR, ∞; p < 0.01), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (OR, ∞; p < 0.01), fungi (OR, 26.0; 95% CI, 3.6-190.0; p < 0.01), and viruses (CCID only; p < 0.01). In addition, the percentage of positive results was significantly higher using CCID than CMTs in patients who used antibiotics for more than 3 days (91.9% vs. 64.9%; p < 0.01). Analyzing clinical impact, 55 cases (59.8%) benefited from CCID. Conclusion CCID allows the rapid and accurate detection of pneumonia in older patients. Moreover, this technique is less affected by previous antibiotic treatment and can improve patient care.

Abstract
Milk contaminated with trace amounts of foodborne pathogens can considerably threaten food safety and public health. Therefore, rapid and accurate detection techniques for foodborne pathogens in milk are essential. Nucleic acid amplification (NAA)-based strategies are widely used to detect foodborne pathogens in milk. This review article covers the mechanisms of the NAA-based detection of foodborne pathogens in milk, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), rolling circle amplification (RCA), and enzyme-free amplification, among others. Key factors affecting detection efficiency and the advantages and disadvantages of the above techniques are analyzed. Potential on-site detection tools based on NAA are outlined. We found that NAA-based strategies were effective in detecting foodborne pathogens in milk. Among them, PCR was the most reliable. LAMP showed high specificity, whereas RPA and RCA were most suitable for on-site and in-situ detection, respectively, and enzyme-free amplification was more economical. However, factors such as sample separation, nucleic acid target conversion, and signal transduction affected efficiency of NAA-based strategies. The lack of simple and effective sample separation methods to reduce the effect of milk matrices on detection efficiency was noteworthy. Further research should focus on simplifying, integrating, and miniaturizing microfluidic on-site detection platforms.

Abstract
After the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, nucleic acid testing quickly entered people's lives. In addition to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which was commonly used in nucleic acid testing, isothermal amplification methods were also important nucleic acid testing methods. Among several common isothermal amplification methods like displaced amplification, rolling circle amplification, and so on, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was recently paid more attention to. It had the advantages like a simple operation, fast amplification speed, and reaction at 37-42°C, et al. So it was very suitable for field detection. However, there were still some disadvantages to RPA. Herein, our review mainly summarized the principle, advantages, and disadvantages of RPA. The specific applications of RPA in bacterial detection, fungi detection, virus detection, parasite detection, drug resistance gene detection, genetically modified food detection, and SARS-CoV-2 detection were also described. It was hoped that the latest research progress on RPA could be better delivered to the readers who were interested in RPA.

Abstract
Methods enabling rapid and on-site detection of pathogenic bacteria are a prerequisite for public health assurance, medical diagnostics, ensuring food safety and security, and research. Many current bacteria detection technologies are inconvenient and time-consuming, making them unsuitable for field detection. New technology based on the CRISPR/Cas system has the potential to fill the existing gaps in detection. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system is a part of the bacterial adaptive immune system to protect them from intruding bacteriophages. The immunological memory is saved by the CRISPR array of bacteria in the form of short DNA sequences (spacers) from invading viruses and incorporated with the CRISPR DNA repeats. Cas proteins are responsible for triggering and initiating the adaptive immune function of CRISPR/Cas systems. In advanced biological research, the CRISPR/Cas system has emerged as a significant tool from genome editing to pathogen detection. By considering its sensitivity and specificity, this system can become one of the leading detection methods for targeting DNA/RNA. This technique is well applied in virus detection like Dengue, ZIKA, SARS-CoV-2, etc., but for bacterial detection, this CRISPR/Cas system is limited to only a few organisms to date. In this review, we have discussed the different techniques based on the CRISPR/Cas system that have been developed for the detection of various pathogenic bacteria like L. monocytogenes, M. tuberculosis, Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Salmonella, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii.

Abstract
Food safety, closely related to economic development of food industry and public health, has become a global concern and gained increasing attention worldwide. Effective detection technology is of great importance to guarantee food safety. Although several classical detection methods have been developed, they have some limitations in portability, selectivity, and sensitivity. The emerging CRISPR-Cas systems, uniquely integrating target recognition specificity, signal transduction, and efficient signal amplification abilities, possess superior specificity and sensitivity, showing huge potential to address aforementioned challenges and develop next-generation techniques for food safety detection. In this review, we focus on recent progress of CRISPR-Cas mediated biosensing and their applications in food safety monitoring. The properties and principles of commonly used CRISPR-Cas systems are highlighted. Notably, the frequently coupled nucleic acid amplification strategies to enhance their selectivity and sensitivity, especially isothermal amplification methods, as well as various signal output modes are also systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the application of CRISPR-Cas systems-based biosensors in food safety detection including foodborne virus, foodborne bacteria, food fraud, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), toxins, heavy metal ions, antibiotic residues, and pesticide residues is comprehensively described. Furthermore, the current challenges and future prospects in this field are tentatively discussed.

Abstract
Recent advances in next generation sequencing technologies enable reading DNA molecules hundreds of kilobases in length and motivate development of DNA amplification methods capable of producing long amplicons. In vivo, DNA replication is performed not by a single polymerase enzyme, but multiprotein complexes called replisomes. Here, we investigate strand-displacement amplification reactions using the T7 replisome, a macromolecular complex of a helicase, a single-stranded DNA binding protein, and a DNA polymerase. The T7 replisome may initiate processive DNA synthesis from DNA nicks, and the reaction of a 48 kilobase linear double stranded DNA substrate with the T7 replisome and nicking endonucleases is shown to produce discrete DNA amplicons. To gain a mechanistic understanding of this reaction, we utilized Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing technology. Sequence analysis of the amplicons revealed chimeric DNA reads and uncovered a connection between template switching and polymerase exonuclease activity. Nanopore sequencing provides insight to guide the further development of isothermal amplification methods for long DNA, and our results highlight the need for high-specificity, high-turnover nicking endonucleases to initiate DNA amplification without thermal denaturation.

Abstract
The in vivo optical imaging of RNA biomarkers of inflammation is hindered by low signal-to-background ratios, owing to non-specific signal amplification in healthy tissues. Here we report the design and in vivo applicability, for the imaging of inflammation-associated messenger RNAs (mRNAs), of a molecular beacon bearing apurinic/apyrimidinic sites, whose amplification of fluorescence is triggered by human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 on translocation from the nucleus into the cytoplasm specifically in inflammatory cells. We assessed the sensitivity and tissue specificity of an engineered molecular beacon targeting interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA in live mice, by detecting acute inflammation in their paws and drug-induced inflammation in their livers. This enzymatic-amplification strategy may enable the specific and sensitive imaging of other disease-relevant RNAs in vivo.

Abstract
CRISPR diagnostics based on nucleic acid amplification faces barriers to its commercial use, such as contamination risks and insufficient sensitivity. Here, we propose a robust solution involving optochemical control of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) activation in CRISPR detection. Based on this strategy, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and CRISPR-Cas12a detection systems can be integrated into a completely closed test tube. crRNA can be designed to be temporarily inactivated so that RPA is not affected by Cas12a cleavage. After the RPA reaction is completed, the CRISPR-Cas12a detection system is activated under rapid light irradiation. This photocontrolled, fully closed CRISPR diagnostic system avoids contamination risks and exhibits a more than two orders of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with the conventional one-pot assay. This photocontrolled CRISPR method was applied to the clinical detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA, achieving detection sensitivity and specificity comparable to those of PCR. Furthermore, a compact and automatic photocontrolled CRISPR detection device was constructed.

Abstract
The current polymerase-based nucleic acid amplification techniques cannot maintain continuous polymerization reactions unless by changing the temperature or adding additional reagents (e.g. the second enzyme or betaine), which undoubtedly increases the cost and operation steps. Herein, a new isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique, termed auto-cycling primer extension (APE), is presented. It repeatedly extends short DNA primers to longer DNA hairpins, by combining a DNA-based copy-and-release hairpin (CRH) and palindromic sequence design. The experimental results showed that we could realize the amplification detection of miRNA by a reasonable probe design.

[PMID: 35623783 PMCID: PMC9073641 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.339909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection through rapid, accurate, and sensitive testing is the most important and fundamental step in coping with the COVID-19 epidemic. We have developed a sensitive fluorometric assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA without thermal cycling. This assay system, based on tandem isothermal gene amplification (TIGA), is composed of ternary rolling circle amplification (t-RCA) and subsequent strand displacement amplification (SDA) coupled with G-quadruplex-generating RCA (SDA/GQ-RCA). Without the need to convert viral RNA into cDNA, viral RNA forms a ternary complex composed of hairpin primer (HP) and dumbbell padlock DNA during the t-RCA process. t-RCA generates a long chain of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with tandemly repeated hairpin structures that are subjected to SDA. SDA produces multiple short ssDNAs from t-RCA products, which then serve as primers for the second RCA reaction. A long ssDNA harboring repeated copies of the G-quadruplex is produced in the second round of RCA. Emission of enhanced fluorescence by thioflavin T, which intercalates into the G-quadruplex, allows fluorometric detection of amplified viral genes. This fluorometric analysis sensitively detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA as low as 5.9 aM, with a linear range between 0.2 fM and 200 fM within 1 h. Hence, this isothermal gene amplification method without reverse transcription of viral RNA can be applied to diagnose COVID-19 with high sensitivity and accuracy as an alternative to current PCR-based diagnosis.

Abstract
Due to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019, rapid detection has become an urgent need for community clinics and hospitals. The rapid development of isothermal amplification detection technology for nucleic acids in the field of molecular diagnostic point-of-care testing (POCT) has gained a great deal of attention in recent years. Thanks to intensive research on nicking enzymes, nicking enzyme-combined isothermal amplification has become a promising platform for rapid detection. This is a novel technique that uses nicking enzymes to improve ordinary isothermal amplification. It has garnered significant interest as it overcomes the complexity of traditional molecular diagnostics and is not subject to temperature limitations, relying on cleavage enzymes to efficiently amplify targets in a very short time to provide a high level of amplification efficiency. In recent years, several types of nicking enzyme-combined isothermal amplification have been developed and they have shown great potential in molecular diagnosis, immunodiagnosis, biochemical identification, and other fields. However, this kind of amplification has some disadvantages. In this review, the principles, advantages and disadvantages, and applications of several nicking enzyme-combined isothermal amplification techniques are reviewed and the prospects for the development of these techniques are also considered.

Plasmonic Au nanocube enhanced SERS biosensor based on heated electrode and strand displacement amplification for highly sensitive detection of Dam methyltransferase activity. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 210:114283. [PMID: 35447396 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a novel "turn-on" mode Au nanocubes (AuNCs) enhanced surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensing platform coupled with heated Au electrode (HAuE) and strand displacement amplification (SDA) strategy was proposed for highly sensitive detection of DNA adenine methylation (Dam) Methyltransferase (MTase) activity. The Dam MTase and DpnI enzyme activities were significantly increased by elevating the HAuE surface temperature, resulting in the rapid production of template DNA for later SDA. During the SDA process, the released single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) could be amplified exponentially, and its concentration was positively related to the Dam MTase activity. The plasmonic AuNCs in SERS tags could provide significant SERS enhancement due to their "lightning rod" effect resulting from the sharp feature of the edges and corners of AuNCs. Because of these factors, the proposed biosensors exhibited high sensitivity in detecting the Dam MTase activity. The limit of detection was estimated to be 8.65 × 10-5 U mL-1, which was lower than that in most of the sensors for detection of Dam MTase activity in the literature. This SERS biosensor could also be used to screen inhibitors of Dam MTase and had the potential for detecting Dam MTase activity in real biological samples.

Abstract
Since the introduction of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in 1983, nucleic acid amplification has permeated all fields of biological science, particularly clinical research. Despite its importance, PCR has been restricted to specialized centers and its use in laboratories with few resources is limited. In recent decades, there has been a notable increase in the development of new isothermal technologies for molecular diagnosis with the hope of overcoming the traditional limitations of the laboratory. Among these technologies, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) has a wide application potential because it does not require thermocyclers and has high sensitivity, specificity, simplicity, and detection speed. This technique has been used for DNA and RNA amplification in various pathogenic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. In addition, RPA has been successfully implemented in different detection strategies, making it a promising alternative for performing diagnoses in environments with scarce resources and a high burden of infectious diseases. In this study, we present a review of the use of RPA in clinical settings and its implementation in various research areas.

Abstract
Because of high sensitivity and specificity, isothermal nucleic acid amplification are widely applied in many fields. To facilitate and improve their performance, various nanomaterials, like nanoparticles, nanowires, nanosheets, nanotubes, and nanoporous films are introduced in isothermal nucleic acid amplification. However, the specific application, roles, and prospect of nanomaterials in isothermal nucleic acid amplification have not been comprehensively reviewed. Here, the application of different nanomaterials (0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D) in isothermal nucleic acid amplification is comprehensively discussed and recent progress in the field is summarized. The nanomaterials are mainly used for reaction enhancer, signal generation/amplification, or surface loading carriers. In addition, 3D nanomaterials can be also functioned as isolated chambers for digital nucleic acid amplification and the tools for DNA sequencing of amplified products. Challenges and future recommendations are also proposed to be better used for recent covid-19 detection, point-of-care diagnostic, food safety, and other fields.
