Abstract
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed of all cancers and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men and women worldwide, causing 1.5 million deaths every year. Despite developments in cancer treatment technologies and new pharmaceutical products, high mortality and morbidity remain major challenges for researchers. More than 75% of lung cancer patients are diagnosed in advanced stages, leading to poor prognosis. Lung cancer is a multistep process associated with genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. Rapid, accurate, precise, and reliable detection of lung cancer biomarkers in biological fluids is essential for risk assessment for a given individual and mortality reduction. Traditional diagnostic tools are not sensitive enough to detect and diagnose lung cancer in the early stages. Therefore, the development of novel bioanalytical methods for early-stage screening and diagnosis is extremely important. Recently, biosensors have gained tremendous attention as an alternative to conventional methods because of their robustness, high sensitivity, inexpensiveness, and easy handling and deployment in point-of-care testing. This review provides an overview of the conventional methods currently used for lung cancer screening, classification, diagnosis, and prognosis, providing updates on research and developments in biosensor technology for the detection of lung cancer biomarkers in biological samples. Finally, it comments on recent advances and potential future challenges in the field of biosensors in the context of lung cancer diagnosis and point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Epigenetic dysregulation including DNA methylation and histone modifications is being increasingly recognized as a promising biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Herein, we devised a label-free analytical toolbox comprising IR, UV-vis, CD spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, which is capable to differentiate significantly hyper-methylated breast cancer chromosomes from the normal breast epithelial counterparts.

Abstract
DNA methylation of cytosine bases, which is catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes, involve biochemical processes that contribute to gene expression and gene regulation in cells. Detection of abnormal patterns of both methylated DNA and methyltransferase enzyme activity at early stages could be considered as promising targets for early cancer diagnosis. In the present study, a novel and facile method is introduced for the sensitive detection of the M.SssI methyltransferase (M.SssI MTase) enzyme and methylated DNA based on the fluorescence recovery of FAM-labeled DNA coupled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Thiol-modified probes were functionalized with AuNPs, which brought the FAM fluorophore into the close proximity of the AuNPs. This led to the overlap between the FAM fluorescence emission and AuNPs absorption spectra, introducing a FRET occurrence and causing fluorescence quenching. The hybridization of the probe and its complementary target provided specific CpG sites for M.SssI MTase enzyme activity. The methylation process gradually converted the quenched FAM fluorophore into an emissive fluorophore upon the addition of the MTase enzyme, and the observed fluorescence recovery proved the efficiency of the assay for the detection of MTase enzyme. The fluorescence intensity showed an increasing trend with M.SssI MTase enzyme activity in the range of 1–8 U mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.14 U mL−1. The addition of methylated ssDNA targets to a ssDNA FAM-labeled probe resulted in a DNA duplex formation, leading to a strong fluorescence signal emission due to the recovery of the fluorophore signal. Conversely, the unmethylated ssDNA target caused no changes in the fluorescence signal. In the presence of methylated DNA targets, the biosensor could specifically recognize it and accordingly trigger the methylated targets through a fluorescence enhancement in the range of 5–100 pM by monitoring the increase in the fluorescence intensity with a detection limit of 2.2 pM. The obtained results showed that the assay could realize the detection of M.SssI MTase and methylated DNA effectively in diluted human serum samples. Human serum conditions showed no significant interference with the assay performance, indicating that the present method has great potential for further application in real samples. A novel method for detection of DNA methylation based on fluorescence recovery of FAM labeled DNA/Au NPs was introduced.![]()

Abstract
DNA origami nanostructures are regarded as powerful and versatile vehicles for targeted drug delivery. So far, DNA origami-based drug delivery strategies mostly use intercalation of the therapeutic molecules between the base pairs of the DNA origami's double helices for drug loading. The binding of nonintercalating drugs to DNA origami nanostructures, however, is less studied. Therefore, in this work, we investigate the interaction of the drug methylene blue (MB) with different DNA origami nanostructures under conditions that result in minor groove binding. We observe a noticeable effect of DNA origami superstructure on the binding affinity of MB. In particular, non-B topologies as for instance found in designs using the square lattice with 10.67 bp/turn may result in reduced binding affinity because groove binding efficiency depends on groove dimensions. Also, mechanically flexible DNA origami shapes that are prone to structural fluctuations may exhibit reduced groove binding, even though they are based on the honeycomb lattice with 10.5 bp/turn. This can be attributed to the induction of transient over- and underwound DNA topologies by thermal fluctuations. These issues should thus be considered when designing DNA origami nanostructures for drug delivery applications that employ groove-binding drugs.
