Abstract
Accurate measurement of cancer markers in urine is a convenient method for tumor monitoring. However, the concentration of cancer markers in urine is so low that it is difficult to achieve their measurement. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors are a promising technology to realize the detection of trace cancer markers due to their high sensitivity. Currently, the interference of nonspecific biomolecules in urine is the main reason affecting the high sensitivity and selectivity of PEC sensors in detecting cancer markers. In this work, a strategy of oxygen vacancy (OV) modulation is proposed to construct a fouling-resistant PEC aptamer sensing platform for the detection of α-fetoprotein (AFP), a liver cancer marker. The introduction of OVs induces the formation of intermediate localized states in the photoelectric material, which not only facilitates the separation of photogenerated carriers but also leads to the redshift of the light absorption edge. More importantly, OVs with positive electrical properties can be employed to modify the antifouling layer (C-PEG) with negatively charged groups through an electrostatic interaction. The synergistic effect of OVs, antifouling layer, and aptamer resulted in a TiO2/OVs/C-PEG-based PEC sensor achieves a wide linear range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.3 pg/mL for AFP. In addition, the sensor successfully realized the determination of AFP in urine samples and accurately differentiated between normal people and liver cancer patients in the early and advanced stages. This project is of great significance in advancing the application of photoelectrochemical bioanalytical technology to achieve the detection of cancer markers in urine by investigating the construction of an OVs-regulated fouling-resistant sensing interface.

Abstract
Development of rapid colorimetric methods based on novel optical-active metal nanomaterials has provided methods for the detection of ions, biomarkers, cancers, etc. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters (FMNCs) have gained a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties providing numerous applications from rapid and sensitive detection to cellular imaging. However, because of very small color changes, their colorimetric applications for developing rapid tests based on the naked eye or simple UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry are still limited. FMNCs with peroxidase-like activity have significant potential in a wide variety of applications, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, the effect of using various capping agents and metals for the preparation of nanoclusters in their colorimetric sensing properties is explored, and the synthesis and detection mechanisms and the recent advances in their application for ultrasensitive chemical and biological analysis regarding human health are highlighted. Finally, the challenges that remain as well as the future perspectives are briefly discussed. Overcoming these limitations will allow us to expand the nanocluster's application for colorimetric diagnostic purposes in medical practice.

Abstract
Hydrogels are highly biocompatible biomaterials composed of crosslinked three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers. Owing to their natural origin, polysaccharide-based hydrogels (PBHs) possess low toxicity, high biocompatibility and demonstrate in vivo biodegradability, making them great candidates for use in various biomedical devices, implants, and tissue engineering. In addition, many polysaccharides also show additional biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticoagulant, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hemostatic, and anti-inflammatory, which can provide additional therapeutic benefits. The porous nature of PBHs allows for the immobilization of antibodies, aptamers, enzymes and other molecules on their surface, or within their matrix, potentiating their use in biosensor devices. Specific polysaccharides can be used to produce transparent hydrogels, which have been used widely to fabricate ocular implants. The ability of PBHs to encapsulate drugs and other actives has been utilized for making neural implants and coatings for cardiovascular devices (stents, pacemakers and venous catheters) and urinary catheters. Their high water-absorption capacity has been exploited to make superabsorbent diapers and sanitary napkins. The barrier property and mechanical strength of PBHs has been used to develop gels and films as anti-adhesive formulations for the prevention of post-operative adhesion. Finally, by virtue of their ability to mimic various body tissues, they have been explored as scaffolds and bio-inks for tissue engineering of a wide variety of organs. These applications have been described in detail, in this review.

Abstract
A novel and biologically active nanobiocomposite is synthesized based on carbon nitride nanosheet (g-C3N4) based carboxymethylcellulose hydrogels with embedded zinc ferrite nanoparticles. Physical-chemical aspects, morphological properties, and their multifunctional biological properties have been considered in the process of evaluation of the synthesized structure. The hydrogels' compressive strength and compressive modulus are 1.98 ± 0.03 MPa and 3.46 ± 0.05 MPa, respectively. Regarding the biological response, it is shown that the nanobiocomposite is non-toxic and biocompatible, and hemocompatible (with Hu02 cells). In addition, the developed material offers a suitable antibacterial activity for both Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated the highly sensitive detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and electrochemistry (EC) based on the gated transport of the bifunctional probe (tris(1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium (II) chloride, Ru (phen)3Cl2) into the nanochannels of vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSFs). Due to the negatively charged surface and ultrasmall pore size, VMSF displays a signal amplification effect on Ru (phen)3Cl2 and is suitable for the construction of sensors with excellent sensitivity. With the linkage of (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane, the anti-AFP antibody could covalently bind to the external surface of VMSF, generating a highly specific recognized sensing interface toward AFP. When AFP is presented, the formed immunocomplex hinders the diffusion of Ru (phen)3Cl2 to the underlying electrode surface, resulting in a decreased ECL or EC response. The dual-mode detection of AFP is achieved with a relatively low limit of detection (0.56 fg/ml for ECL and 4.5 pg/ml for EC) and a wide linear range (10 fg/ml∼1 μg/ml for ECL and 10 pg/ml∼1 μg/ml for EC). Moreover, owing to the inherent anti-fouling property of VMSF, satisfactory results in the analysis of human serum were obtained, showing the great potential of the designed strategy in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Sensors based on colorimetry, fluorescence, and electrochemistry have been widely employed to detect acetylcholinesterase and its inhibitors, however, there are only a minority of strategies for AChE detection based on photothermal method. This work reports a versatile dual-mode colorimetric and photothermal biosensing platform for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) detection and its inhibitor (paraoxon-ethyl, a model of AChE inhibitors) monitor based on Fe-N-C/H2O2/3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) system. The Fe-N-C with abundant active Fe-Nx sites shows outstanding peroxidase-mimicking activity and can be used to promote the generation of •OH by H2O2 to oxidize TMB. However, the introduction of mercapto molecules tending to coordinate with metal atoms result in the block of action site in Fe-N-C, thereby decrease its peroxidase-mimetic activity. The designed biosensor principle is based on the block of active sites of Fe-N-C by thiocholine (TCh, one kind of mercapto molecules) that can be produced by acetylthiocholine (ATCh) in the presence of AChE. Under optimum conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for AChE activity is 1.9 mU mL-1 (colorimetric) and 2.2 mU mL-1 (photothermal), while for paraoxon-ethyl is 0.012 μg mL-1 (colorimetric) and 0.013 μg mL-1 (photothermal), respectively. The assay we proposed not only can be designed to monitor AChE detection and its inhibitors, but also can be easily extended for the detection of other biomolecules relate to the generation or consumption of H2O2.

Abstract
Hydrogels are hydrophilic three-dimensional (3D) porous polymer networks that can easily stabilize various nanoparticles. Loading noble metal nanoparticles into a 3D network of hydrogels can enhance the synergy of the components. It can also be modified to prepare intelligent materials that can recognize external stimuli. The combination of noble metal nanoparticles and hydrogels to produce modified or new composite materials has attracted considerable attention as to the use of these materials in sensors. However, there is limited review literature on nanoparticle–hydrogel-based sensors. This paper presents the detailed strategies of synthesis and design of the composites, and the latest applications of nanoparticle–hydrogel materials in the sensing field. Finally, the current challenges and future development directions of nanoparticle–hydrogel-based sensors are proposed.

Abstract
AuCu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were embedded in superior thin g-C3N4 nanosheets by a mechanochemical pre-reaction and subsequent thermal polymerization at high temperature. The introduction of AuCu NPs increased conductivity, decreased the band gap, expended light absorption, and improved the separation and transfer efficiencies of photogenerated electrons and holes. Moreover, the uniform distribution of AuCu NPs in g-C3N4 nanosheets is ascribed to the pre-reaction of bulk g-C3N4 and metal salts to create activity cites. The adsorption ability in the visible light region was improved due to the plasma effect of Au. AuCu/g-C3N4 composites (AuCu/CN-1%) with optimized component ratios revealed the highest transient photocurrent responses, the lowest electrochemical impedance arc radius, and the best photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 930.2 μmol g-1 h-1. These findings exhibited that loading AuCu bimetallic NPs could efficiently offset some disadvantages of g-C3N4 and improve its photocatalytic performances.

Abstract
The integration of nanoarchitectonics and hydrogel into conventional biosensing platforms offers the opportunities to design physically and chemically controlled and optimized soft structures with superior biocompatibility, better immobilization of biomolecules, and specific and sensitive biosensor design. The physical and chemical properties of 3D hydrogel structures can be modified by integrating with nanostructures. Such modifications can enhance their responsiveness to mechanical, optical, thermal, magnetic, and electric stimuli, which in turn can enhance the practicality of biosensors in clinical settings. This review describes the synthesis and kinetics of gel networks and exploitation of nanostructure-integrated hydrogels in biosensing. With an emphasis on different integration strategies of hydrogel with nanostructures, this review highlights the importance of hydrogel nanostructures as one of the most favorable candidates for developing ultrasensitive biosensors. Moreover, hydrogel nanoarchitectonics are also portrayed as a promising candidate for fabricating next-generation robust biosensors.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential biotemplate for disposing the burden of the uncontrollable accumulation of environmental contaminants disrupting the hydrophytic ecosystems. Herein, an efficient solar-driven catalyst was prepared using a natural three-dimensional (3D) porous lignocellulose-based Juncus effusus (JE) fiber for wastewater treatment. Owing to the exquisite 3D microstructure and abundant hydroxyl groups, the two-dimensional lamellar graphitic carbon nitride/graphene oxide (g-C3N4/GO) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized and decorated on the carboxymethylated JE fiber via the electrostatic self-assembly method. The as-prepared g-C3N4/GO-JE (CNG-JE) photocatalyst exhibits excellent light absorption efficiency and a superior ability to accelerate photogenerated electron migration. The outstanding adsorption performance toward pollutants also contributes to the photodegradation property of CNG-JE, showing highly efficient degradation of C.I. Reactive Red 120 (99.8%), C.I. Acid Yellow 11 (99.8%), methylene blue (99.4%), Cr(VI) (98.8%), and tetracycline (87.2%). Most importantly, the lignocellulose-based CNG-JE fibers could be fabricated into a photocatalyst textile due to their flexible and weavable properties. In actual application, the CNG-JE textile can be reused for at least five cycles under the sun, demonstrating that the flexible CNG-JE textile is practical and recyclable. This study may provide a platform for constructing efficient, flexible, and weavable biomass-based porous materials for cost-effective and sustainable catalytic applications.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising conjugated polymer with visible light responsiveness and numerous intriguing characteristics that make it highly beneficial for a myriad of potential applications. A novel design and universal approach for the fabrication of unique plasmonic g-C3N4 nanoscale hybrids, with well-controlled morphology, is presented. A single gold nanoprism is encapsulated within dense or hollow g-C3N4 spheres for the formation of Au@g-C3N4 core-shell and Au@g-C3N4 yolk-shell nanohybrids. Au nanoprisms were chosen duo to the strong (visible range) plasmon resonances and electromagnetic field hotspots formed at their sharp corners. The incorporation of Au nanoprisms into the g-C3N4 nanospheres results in a dramatic ∼threefold rise in the emission of plasmonic g-C3N4 yolk-shell nanohybrids and ∼3.6-fold enhancement of the photocurrent density obtained from the plasmonic g-C3N4 core-shell nanohybrids, when compared with the g-C3N4 hollow nanospheres. Hence, these hybrids can potentially benefit applications in the areas spanning from solar energy harvesting to biomedical imaging and theranostics.

Abstract
Two kinds of two-dimensional (2D) covalent-organic frameworks (COF) were used to construct a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for a proof-of-concept study. Vinyl-functionalized COFTab-Dva could be linked with Ab1 by the thiol-ene "click" reaction. Electroactive COFTFPB-Thi was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to ensure the successful connection with Ab2 through Au-S bond. Meanwhile, electroactive COFTFPB-Thi was used to as signal probe to realize both the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and the amplification of detection signal. In detection process of the sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor, glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with 2D COFTab-Dva first then connected with Ab1 by the thiol-ene "click" reaction, next quantitative CEA was captured, followed by specificially capturing signal probe of Ab2/AuNPs/COFTFPB-Thi where AuNPs acted as nanocarriers of Ab2 and COFTFPB-Thi served as the signal producers. As the amount of CEA was increased, the amount of signal probe captured to the electrode was also increased, and the peak signal intensity of the redox reaction of COFTFPB-Thi was enhanced accordingly. Thus, the quantitative detection of CEA could be realized according to the peak signal intensity of electroactive COFTFPB-Thi. The electrochemical immunosensor owned wide detection range of 0.11 ng/mL-80 ng/mL, low detection limit of 0.034 ng/mL and good practicability. This study opens up a new revelation for quantitative detection of CEA using electroactive COF as enhanced signal probe.

Abstract
The development of highly-sensitive fluorescence detection systems for environmental contaminants has become high priority research in the past years. Special attention has been paid to graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based nanomaterials, whose unique and superior optical property makes them promising and attractive candidates for this purpose. It is necessary to enhance the current understanding of the various classes of g-C3N4-based fluorescence detection systems and their mechanisms, as well as find suitable approaches to improve detection performance for environmental monitoring, protection, and management. In this review, the recent progresses on g-C3N4-based fluorescence detections for environmental contaminants, mainly including their basic principles, mechanisms, applications, modification strategies, and conclusions, are summarized. A particular emphasis is placed on the design and development of modification strategies for g-C3N4 with the objective of improving detection performance. High photoluminescence quantum yield, tunable fluorescence emission characteristics, and strong adsorption capacity of g-C3N4 could ensure the ultrasensitivity and selectivity of fluorescence detection of environmental contaminants. Concluding perspectives on the challenges and opportunities to design highly efficient g-C3N4-based fluorescence detection system are intensively put forward as well.

Abstract
Among the products for rapid detection in different fields, enzyme-based immunosensors have received considerable attention. Recently, great efforts have been devoted to enhancing the output signals of enzymes through different strategies that can significantly improve the sensitivity of enzyme-based immunosensors for the need of practical applications. In this manuscript, the significance of enzyme-based signal transduction patterns in immunoassay and the central role of enzymes in achieving precise control of reaction systems are systematically described. In view of the rapid development of this field, we classify these strategies based on the combination of immune recognition and enzyme amplification into three categories, namely enzyme-based enhancement strategies, combination of the catalytic amplification of enzymes with other signal amplification methods, and substrate-based enhancement strategies. The current focus and future direction of enzyme-based immunoassays are also discussed. This article is not exhaustive, but focuses on the latest advances in different signal generation methods based on enzyme-initiated catalytic reactions and their applications in the detection field, which could provide an accessible introduction of enzyme-based immunosensors for the community with a view to further improving its application efficiency.

Abstract
Telomerase and micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are simultaneously upregulated in a variety of tumor cells and have emerged as promising tumor markers. However, sensitive detection of telomerase and miRNAs in situ remains a great challenge due to their low expression levels. Here, we designed a Boolean logic "AND" signal amplification strategy based on functionalized ordered mesoporous nanoparticles (FOMNs) to achieve ultrasensitive detection of telomerase and miR-21 in living tumor cells. Briefly, the strategy uses telomerase as an input to enable the release of DNA3-ROX-BHQ hairpins by making the wrapping DNA1 form a DNA-a hairpin with the joint participation of dNTPs. Subsequently, DNA2-Ag, DNA3-ROX-BHQ, and the second input miR-21 participated in hybridization chain reaction to amplify fluorescence and Raman signals. Experimental results showed the intensity of output dual signals relevant to the expression levels of telomerase and miR-21. The Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) not only enhanced the fluorescence signals but also allowed to obtain more sensitive Raman signals. Therefore, even if expression of tumor markers is at a low level, the FOMN-based dual-signal logic operation strategy can still achieve sensitive detection of telomerase and miR-21 in situ. Furthermore, FOMNs can detect miR-21 expression levels in a short time. Consequently, this strategy has a potential clinical application value in detection of tumor markers and the assessment of tumor treatment efficacy.

Abstract
It is an urgency to detect infectious pathogens or cancer biomarkers using rapid, simple, convenient and cost-effective methods in complex biological samples. Many existing approaches (traditional virus culture, ELISA or PCR) for the pathogen and biomarker assays face several challenges in the clinical applications that require lengthy time, sophisticated sample pre-treatment and expensive instruments. Due to the simple and rapid detection manner as well as no requirement of expensive equipment, many visual detection methods have been considered to resolve the aforementioned problems. Meanwhile, various new materials and colorimetric/fluorescent methods have been tried to construct new biosensors for infectious pathogens and biomarkers. However, the recent progress of these aspects is rarely reviewed, especially in terms of integration of new materials, microdevice and detection mechanism into the visual detection systems. Herein, we provide a broad field of view to discuss the recent progress in the visual detection of infectious pathogens and cancer biomarkers along with the detection mechanism, new materials, novel detection methods, special targets as well as multi-functional microdevices and systems. The novel visual approaches for the infectious pathogens and biomarkers, such as bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), metal-induced metallization and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based biosensors, are discussed. Additionally, recent advancements in visual assays utilizing various new materials for proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, exosomes and small molecules are comprehensively reviewed. Future perspectives on the visual sensing systems for infectious pathogens and cancers are also proposed.

Abstract
Herein, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) analysis was established. The AFP aptamer (AFP-Apt), as the recognition molecule, was immobilized on the surface of a screen-printed carbon electrode, which was modified by gold-platinum metallic nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide-chitosan-ferrocene nanohybrids (Au-Pt NPs/RGO-CS-Fc), to build the AFP electrochemical aptasensor. The construction process of the aptasensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. With the addition of AFP, the formation of the AFP-aptamer conjugation blocked the electron transfer reaction, reducing the differential pulse voltammetric responses of the current of Fc in the RGO-CS-Fc nanohybrids. By optimizing the experimental parameters, AFP could be detected with the dynamic concentration range of 0.001 to 10.0 μg mL-1 and with a detection limit of 0.3013 ng mL-1. In addition, the approach was manifested to have good selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The fabricated aptasensor had a good recovery rate of 102.36% to 118.09% in real human serum samples. This work demonstrates that the electrochemical aptasensor is a useful tool for analyzing AFP inexpensively, rapidly, and accurately.

Abstract
Explicit antigen-antibody binding has accelerated the development of immunosensors for the detection of various analytes in biomedical and environmental domains. Being a subclass of biosensors, immunosensors have been a significant area of research in attaining high sensitivity and an ultralow sensing limit to detect biological analytes present in trace levels. The highly porous structure, large surface area, and excellent biocompatibility of hydrogels enabling the retainability of the activity and innate framework of the attached biomolecules make them a suitable candidate for immunosensor fabrication. Hydrogels based on polycarboxylate, cellulose, polyaniline, polypyrrole, sodium alginate, chitosan, and agarose are exploited in conjunction with other nanomaterials such as AuNPs, GO, and MWCNTs to augment the electron transfer during the immunosensing mechanism. Surface plasmon resonance, electrochemiluminescence, colorimetric, and electrochemical assays are different strategies utilized for the signal transduction in hydrogel-based immunosensors during the formation of the antigen-antibody complex. These hydrogel-based immunosensors exhibit rapid response, excellent stability, reproducibility, high selectivity and high sensitivity, a broad range of detection, an ultralow limit of detection, and display results similar to those for the ELISA test. This review propounds different hydrogel-functionalized immunosensing platforms classified on the basis of their signal transduction for the detection of disparate cancer biomarkers (tumor necrosis factor, α-fetoprotein, prostate-specific antigen, carbohydrate antigen 24-2, carcinoembryonic antigen, neuron-specific enolase, and cytokeratin antigen 21-1), hormones (cortisol, cortisone, and human chorionic gonadotropin), human IgG, and ractopamine in animal feeds.
