Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered widespread interest for their unique structural and property advantages. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has rapidly emerged as a powerful fingerprint spectroscopic technique, enabling rapid, non-invasive, non-destructive, and ultra-sensitive detection, even at the single molecular level. Consequently, researchers have combined MOFs with SERS technology to enhance sensing performance and broaden the applications of SERS substrates. This review summarizes representative synthesis strategies of MOFs for fabricating SERS-active substrates and discusses their applications in ultra-sensitive biomedical trace detection. In addition, it provides insights into the relative barriers, advantages, disadvantages, future trends, and prospects, guiding relevant researchers.

Summary: In this study, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were combined with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to selectively and sensitively detect sulfamethazine (SMZ). The MIP@AgNPs composites showed high selectivity and excellent sensitivity as SERS substrates, with a good linear correlation (R-2 = 0.996) between the Raman signal and SMZ concentration. The method exhibited good stability and reproducibility, and was successfully applied to the analysis of lake water samples.

Summary: A simple water extraction and transfer procedure is found to produce reproducible and highly sensitive SERS spectra of dried bloodstains on Ag nanoparticle substrates. The water/Ag methodology allows the detection and identification of diluted bloodstains on Ag substrates, while avoiding potential DNA damage. However, this water-only procedure is not effective on Au SERS substrates, due to the difference in the lysis and denaturation effects of blood cells on Ag and Au nanoparticles, respectively. The use of acetic acid is required for obtaining SERS spectra of dried bloodstains on Au substrates.

Summary: A simple approach to fabricate large-scale optoplasmonic hybrid materials (OHMs) for high sensitivity surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is proposed. The OHM consists of a metal film, a monolayer of nanoparticles (MFON), and a microsphere. The excited wavelength of the localized surface plasmon resonance in the MFON can be controlled by the size of the nanoparticles and an additional dielectric layer. Under specific conditions, Raman signals of low concentration methylene blue can be detected. Numerical simulations show that the OHM provides enhanced sensitivity compared to traditional plasmonic nanostructures.

Summary: This paper presents a novel and sensitive method for monitoring intracellular GSH and GSSG concentrations using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). By introducing a reduction-sensitive reaction-type Raman probe, the method allows for quantitative measurement of GSH and GSSG with high sensitivity. The SERS method proves to be feasible in rapidly and sensitively monitoring GSH depletion behaviors and may be valuable in cellular detoxication events involving GSH.
