Abstract

This study develops size-encoded molecular probes for simultaneous electro-optical nanopore sensing of microRNAs (miRNAs), enabling ultrasensitive, sequence-specific, and multiplexed detection directly in unprocessed human serum. The approach achieves femtomolar sensitivity and single-base mismatch selectivity, successfully monitoring miR-141-3p and miR-375-3p in prostate cancer patients with active disease and in remission. This technology offers a promising minimally invasive diagnostic tool for cancer.
