Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) has garnered considerable attention due to its diagnostic capabilities, such as in hypoxic cognitive impairment and cancers. However, the existing miRNA detection methods are commonly criticized for the drawbacks of low sensitivity and false-positive detection derived from interfering molecules. Here, we provide a novel, sensitive and portable method for miRNA detection by combining target identification based cyclization of padlocks, immobilized primer-based signal amplification and a personal glucose meter. The proposed method exhibits several advantages, including precise identification of specific sites, exceptional sensitivity and instrument-free feature. These attributes hold great promise for the diagnosis and clinical investigation of various diseases, such as cancer and hypoxic cognitive impairment, enabling a deeper understanding of their pathological and physiological aspects.
