Fig. 3From: Nanotechnology in emerging liquid biopsy applicationsa Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) coupled to a DNA probe are quenched by gold nanoparticles (Au) or MnO2 nanosheets, phenomenon that is then hindered by hybridization of miRNA target. b DNA-carbon nanotubes with T7 exonuclease-assisted or DSN-assisted target recycling were used for the electrochemical or fluorometric detection of miRNA.
