Article Abstract
The recent monkeypox epidemic outbreaks worldwide highlight the urgent need for fast and precise diagnostic solutions, especially in resource-limited settings. Here, a two-dimensional nanozyme-catalyzed colorimetric CRISPR assay for the microfluidic detection of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) was established. We utilized graphene oxide as a substrate for the adsorption of gold seeds and the deposition of a porous Pt shell to prepare high-performance two-dimensional GO@Pt nanomaterials. The viral nucleic acids released from clinical samples initiated a single-step recombinase polymerase amplification-CRISPR/Cas13a for the trans-cleavage of ssRNA reporters labeled with FAM and biotin. These reporters can be recognized by FAM antibody-conjugated GO@Pt nanozymes and streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The formed sandwich immunocomplexes can catalyze the oxidation of a colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine substrate with a distinct color change. The proposed GO@Pt-catalyzed colorimetric CRISPR assay exhibited a limit of detection of 1 copy/μL of MPXV in 60 min. Forty clinical samples, including rash fluid swabs and oral swabs, were tested with 100% agreement with the real-time PCR. These results indicate the excellent potential of GO@Pt-catalyzed colorimetric CRISPR for the sensitive and accurate testing of MPXV under resource-constrained conditions.

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the primary bioactive form of folate (vitamin B9), played a vital role in human metabolism. In this work, an electrochemical/colorimetric dual-mode aptasensor for 5-MTHF was constructed by combining a DNA Walker-driven CRISPR-Cas12a trans-cleavage system. A 5-MTHF aptamer D1a was obtained through Capture-SELEX with subsequent trimming of non-binding regions, which exhibiting high affinity and specificity.

The N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a major salivary acid molecule found on the cell surface of animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep, can be metabolically incorporated into the body through consumption of animal-derived foods like red meat. This leads to an immune response and chronic inflammation in individuals who do not naturally produce Neu5Gc, including humans and poultry, further increasing the risk of cancer. The trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a is activated by the recognition of the target aptamer by the crRNA, resulting in the cleavage of the dual-labeled probe.

Introduction: The rapid and accurate identification of (MTB) is essential for effective tuberculosis (TB) control. However, conventional diagnostic methods for MTB suffer from limitations such as low sensitivity, poor specificity, high cost, reliance on specialized instruments, and complex, time-consuming procedures. To address these challenges, there is an urgent need for a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive detection method that can be deployed in point-of-care settings.

Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) have attracted considerable interest in designing biosensors. Our group recently developed a thermal drying method to fabricate SNAs with an ultrahigh density of cost-effective nonthiolated DNA containing a polyadenine block. In this study, functional properties of such SNAs in two types of biosensors were investigated using aptamer and hybridization-based model detection systems.

Developing a preamplification-free and sensitive clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based method is significant but still extremely challenging for microRNA (miRNA) detection. Here we present a combination of a CRISPR/Cas13a-based reaction with a lateral flow biosensor, which enables the quantitative and colorimetric readout of preamplification-free miRNA detection at room temperature. In this work, the reaction principle and the structure of the lateral flow strip are well-designed to achieve surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)/colorimetric dual-signal "turn-on" response of target miRNA.
