Article Abstract
A novel, simple, and highly sensitive method was developed to detect the concentration of tyrosine-derived azo dye indirectly using silver nanocubes (AgNCs) as a substrate on a super-hydrophobic silver film by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Diazotization-coupling reaction occurred between diazonium ions and the phenolic tyrosine, resulting in three new typical peaks in the SERS spectrum of the azo dye that was formed on the AgNCs, indicating strong SERS activity. Subsequently, the limit of detection of this approach was as low as 10 M for tyrosine. Moreover, the SERS intensities of the three typical SERS signals of the analyte were linearly correlated with the logarithm of concentration of the Tyrosine. The proposed method shows great potential for tyrosine detection in the urine samples of normal humans.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown potential for early disease diagnosis via urinary metabolomics, but still faces challenges in achieving stable hot spots and processing complex clinical data. In this study, the preparation of chiral gold nanostars with precisely controllable branch size, number, and sharpness was realized by investigating the effects of l-GSH and CTA ( indicates halides) on site occupancy, reduction rate, and selective adsorption on crystal facets. Raman spectroscopic characterization using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule revealed that nanoparticles with fewer branches, larger branch bases, and smoother surfaces exhibited excellent SERS activity, with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 5.

Single-cell surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for precision medicine owing to its label-free detection, ultrasensitivity, and unique molecular fingerprinting. Unlike conventional bulk analysis, it enables detailed characterization of cellular heterogeneity, with particular promise in circulating tumor cell (CTC) identification, tumor microenvironment (TME) metabolic profiling, subcellular imaging, and drug sensitivity assessment. Coupled with microfluidic droplet systems, SERS supports high-throughput single-cell analysis and multiparametric screening, while integration with complementary modalities such as fluorescence microscopy and mass spectrometry enhances temporal and spatial resolution for monitoring live cells.

Rapid identification and accurate diagnosis are critical for individuals with acute leukemia (AL). Here, we propose a combined deep learning and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (DL-SERS) classification strategy to achieve rapid and sensitive identification of AL with various subtypes and genetic abnormalities. More than 390 of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples are collected as targets, encompassing healthy control, AL patients, and individuals with other diseases.

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) has revolutionized nucleic acid detection owing to its isothermal simplicity. However, over two decades of clinical application have been hampered by off-target amplification and incompatibility with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Herein, a strategy, specifically cleavage of rationally designed DNA/RNA chimeric hairpin preprimer by dsDNA-targeted CRISPR/Cas12a to rlease ssRNA for initiating RCA (SCOPE-RCA), is proposed for nucleic acid identification of African swine fever virus (ASFV).
