Article Abstract
Developing a generic sensitive platform for detecting diverse biomarkers is essential for a comprehensive understanding of disease states, guiding precision medicine. Herein, we introduce a versatile platform based on glass fiber interfaced CRISPR/Cas with a universal reagent setting (g-CURS), which used a fixed pair of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) activator to enable detection of multiple nucleic acids or proteins with ultrahigh sensitivity. The fixed ssDNA activator was labeled on multiple specific ligation products or detection antibodies conjugated on glass fiber to initiate CRISPR/Cas12a-assisted rapid and exponential cascade amplification through circular reporters (CRs), generating fluorescence signals readable by a portable detector. g-CURS was able to detect viral nucleic acids with attomolar sensitivity within 30 min and multiple low-abundance proteins in extracellular vesicles of Parkinson's disease (PD) serum with subpicomolar sensitivity within 80 min. g-CURS simplifies CRISPR/Cas biosensing using a standard reagent setting, holding promise for biomarker discovery free from bulky instruments.

Background: Entropy-Driven Circuits (EDC), distinguished by their spontaneous operation and absence of enzymatic reactions, represent a superior strategy for integration with CRISPR/Cas systems, as they obviate the potential for interference among various enzymes during the process of DNA amplification and CRISPR/Cas system integration. Due to the wide band gap of TiO, its response to visible light is limited, and owing to its high crystallinity and exceptionally stable crystal lattice, the charge transfer (CT) process in TiO is suboptimal.
Results: In this study, lychee-like Fe-TiO was firstly prepared to serve as Raman enhanced substrate, facilitating exciton capture and separation to exhibit an excellent Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) performance.

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.

Currently most conventional reporters in CRISPR/Cas system, including fluorophore-quencher (FQ) and magnetic bead (MB)-based reporters, encounter limitations in terms of sensitivity and compatibility. To overcome these challenges, we developed novel reporters for CRISPR/Cas systems based on thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). Below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), PNIPAM-based reporters exhibited a liquid state and can be cleaved by Cas proteins in a homogeneous reaction, preserving function and structure of Cas proteins while effectively accelerating the reaction kinetics.
