MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play several crucial roles in the physiological and pathological processes of the human body. They are considered as important biomarkers for the diagnosis of various disorders. Thus, rapid, sensitive, selective, and affordable detection of miRNAs is of great importance. However, the small size, low abundance, and highly similar sequences of miRNAs impose major challenges to their accurate detection in biological samples. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been applied as promising sensing materials for the fabrication of different biosensors due to their distinctive characteristics, such as high porosity and surface area, tunable pores, outstanding adsorption affinities, and ease of functionalization. In this review, the applications of MOFs and MOF-derived materials in the fabrication of fluorescence, electrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescent, and photoelectrochemical biosensors for the detection of miRNAs and their detection principle and analytical performance are discussed. This paper attempts to provide readers with a comprehensive knowledge of the fabrication and sensing mechanisms of miRNA detection platforms.
