Article Abstract
In this work, a convenient and high-throughput colorimetric assay was developed on an aptamer-modified microchip for ultrasensitive detection of thrombin using rolling circle amplification and G-quadruplex DNAzyme. This system consisted of an aptamer-modified microchip and a secondary aptamer. The secondary aptamer contained a thrombin aptamer and a primer with a G-quadruplex circular template. RCA technology was used to improve the sensitivity by producing the multiple G-quadruplex units. To generate colorimetric signal, G-quadruplex DNAzyme was used to catalyze the H2O2-mediated oxidation of 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiozoline)-6-sulfonic acid. At the optimal conditions, the linear range for thrombin was 0.100-50.000 pg/mL, and the limit of detection was down to 0.083 pg/mL. Moreover, the developed method was successfully applied to detect thrombin from human plasma and serum, indicating that this approach has great potential in clinical diagnosis and medical investigation.

The analysis of exosomes is significant as they can be used for various pathophysiological processes, especially cancer related intercellular communication. Therefore, a convenient, reliable, and sensitive detection method is urgently needed. Strand displacement amplification (SDA) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) are two kinds of effective isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods.

The phenotypic changes of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) during the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been a hot topic in tumor biology and cancer therapeutic development. Here, an integrated platform of single-cell fluorescent enzymatic assays with superwetting droplet-array microchips (SDAM) for ultrasensitive functional screening of epithelial-mesenchymal sub-phenotypes of CTCs is reported. The SDAM can generate high-density, volume well-defined droplet (0.

A microfluidic magnetic spatial confinement strategy was developed and employed to realize an ultrasensitive cell immunoassay. The straight confined channels in poly(dimethylsiloxane)-glass hybrid microchips were used as the enrichment and detection chambers for the proposed microfluidic magnetic cell immunoassays (μMCI). To accomplish the μMCI, prepared magnetic cell immunocomplexes were introduced into microchannels and preconcentrated in the detection zone under a permanent magnet.

Cancer cells utilize a range of migration modes to navigate through a confined tissue microenvironment , while regulatory roles of key microRNAs (miRNAs) remain unclear. Precisely engineered microconfinement and the high spatial-resolution imaging strategy offer a promising avenue for deciphering the molecular mechanisms that drive cell migration. Here, enzyme-free signal-amplification nanoprobes as an effective tool are developed for three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution profiling of key miRNA molecules in single migrating cells, where distinct migration modes are precisely driven by microconfinement-engineered microchips.
