TL;DR: A formaldehyde-assisted metal-ligand crosslinking strategy is used for the synthesis of metal-phenolic coordination spheres based on sol-gel chemistry and can be used as sensors for the analysis of nucleic acid variants with single-nucleotide discrimination, and a versatile precursor for electrode materials with high electrocatalytic performance.

TL;DR: The MnO2 nanosheet/DNAzyme (nanozyme) is fabricated as intracellular catalytic DNA circuit generator for high signal amplification and its operation is reported for monitoring DNA base‐excision repair (BER) in living cells with improved performance.

TL;DR: A generic method for programming assembly of enzyme-initiated DNAzyme nanodevices (DzNanos) that can monitor enzyme catalysis in situ but also will enable the implementation of cellular stages, behaviors, and pathways for basic science, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications as genetic circuits.

TL;DR: A clean, stable, and recyclable three-dimensional (3D) chestnutlike Ag/WO3-x (0 < x < 0.28) SERS substrate is developed, which combines the SERS enhancement effect and self-cleaning property, making it a multifunctional and reusable SERS platform for highly sensitive SERS detection.

TL;DR: Intacellular entropy-driven multivalent DNA circuits to implement multi-bit computing for simultaneous analysis of intracellular telomerase, and microRNAs includingmiR-21 and miR-31 are reported.
