Microvesicles and exosomes are promising liquid biopsy biomarkers. However, conventional isolation techniques damage and contaminate the biomarkers. We developed an origami-paper-based device for effective isolation of biomarkers with less damage and in fewer steps. The multi-folded device enables the preconcentration of the microvesicles/exosomes on specific layers (∼5-fold) by the ion concentration polarization technique and they were simply isolated from the rest of the sample by unfolding the device.

The diagnosis of adult-onset immunodeficiency (AOID) associated with neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies (anti-IFN-γ Abs) remains highly challenging due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations and routine laboratory detection methods. To address this issue, we developed a three-dimensional paper-based analytical device featuring one-step signal amplification (3D-osPAD) for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of anti-IFN-γ Abs. This device incorporates an in situ gold signal amplification strategy within the paper matrix, wherein Au ions from HAuCl4 are reduced to Au by 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES buffer) and deposited onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to enhance the colorimetric signal.

A fluorescence origami paper-based analytical device (Flu-oPAD) based on a strand displacement assay as a point-of-care testing (POCT) sensing platform for DNA detection is presented. This device facilitates multiple steps in a single device, including sample loading, incubation, and washing. The detection zone was immobilized with a 6-FAM-modified probe (F-probe), which formed a complex with a BHQ1-modified probe (Q-probe) to minimize background signals.

Herein, we proposed a versatile G-quadruplex (G4)-tetrahedral DNA framework (G4-TDF) nanostructure functionalized origami microfluidic paper-based device (μPADs) for fluorescence detection of K by lighting up thioflavin T (ThT). In this work, TDF provided robust structural support for G-rich sequence in well-defined orientation and spacing to ensure high recognition efficiency, enabling sensitive fluorescence sensing on origami μPAD. After introducing ThT, the G-rich sequences extended from TDF vertices formed a parallel G4 structure, showing weak fluorescence signal output.

In clinical diagnosis, the determination of target proteins at low concentration levels is generally performed by immunoassays, such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is a time-consuming process. To date, paper-based ELISA platforms enabling faster and less expensive analysis have been developed, but their important issue for clinical applications is the limited sensitivity compared to conventional ELISA. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive detection method for non-nucleic acid targets achieved by integrating the CRISPR/Cas12a system into paper-based ELISA.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are promising materials due to their rich active sites and straightforward synthesis. However, their limited conductivity and electron transfer inefficiency hinder practical applications. This study utilizes a simple one-pot synthesis approach to produce a tungsten-disulfide (WS) and iron-cobalt Prussian blue analogue composite (WS-PBA), enhancing conductivity and electron transfer rate performance.
