Long-term monitoring of ultratrace nucleic acids using tetrahedral nanostructure-based NgAgo on wearable microneedles
Real-time and continuous monitoring of nucleic acid biomarkers with wearable devices holds potential for personal health management, especially in the context of pandemic surveillance or intensive care unit disease. However, achieving high sensitivity and long-term stability remains challenging. Here, we report a tetrahedral nanostructure-based Natronobacterium gregoryi Argonaute (NgAgo) for long-term stable monitoring of ultratrace unamplified nucleic acids (cell-free DNAs and RNAs) in vivo for sepsis on wearable device. This integrated wireless wearable consists of a flexible circuit board, a microneedle biosensor, and a stretchable epidermis patch with enrichment capability. We comprehensively investigate the recognition mechanism of nucleic acids by NgAgo/guide DNA and signal transformation within the Debye distance. In vivo experiments demonstrate the suitability for real-time monitoring of cell-free DNA and RNA with a sensitivity of 0.3 fM up to 14 days. These results provide a strategy for highly sensitive molecular recognition in vivo and for on-body detection of nucleic acid.
