Illustration of hairpin DNA cascade amplifier (HDCA) for catalytic signal enhancement of specific mRNA expression in living cells. After transfection into live cells, the catalytic HDCAs are initiated by specific target mRNA to repeatedly yield many H1–H2 duplexes, which further destabilize the Reporter moiety and fluoresce inside the cells.
