Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), a prevalent degenerative joint disease, significantly affects the well-being of afflicted individuals and compromises the standard functionality of human joints. The emerging biomarker, Cartilage acidic protein 1 (CRTAC1), intricately associates with OA initiation and serves as a prognostic indicator for the trajectory toward joint replacement. However, existing diagnostic methods for CRTAC1 are hampered by the limited abundance, thus restricting the precision and specificity. Herein, a novel approach utilizing a single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (SWCNTs FET) biosensor is reported for the direct label-free detection of CRTAC1. High-purity semiconducting carbon nanotube films, functionalized with antibodies of CRTAC1, provide excellent electrical and sensing properties. The SWCNTs FET biosensor exhibits high sensitivity, notable reproducibility, and a wide linear detection range (1 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL) for CRTAC1 with a theoretical limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 fg/mL. Moreover, the SWCNTs FET biosensor is capable of directly detecting human serum samples, showing excellent sensing performance in differentiating clinical samples from OA patients and healthy populations. Comparative analysis with traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reveals that the proposed biosensor demonstrates faster detection speeds, higher sensitivity/accuracy, and lower errors, indicating high potential for the early OA diagnosis. Furthermore, the SWCNTs FET biosensor has good scalability for the combined diagnosis and measurement of multiple disease markers, thereby significantly expanding the application of SWCNTs FETs in biosensing and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Field effect transistors (FETs)-based detection probes are powerful platforms for quantification in biological media due to their sensitivity, ease of miniaturization, and ability to function in biological media. Especially, FET-based platforms have been utilized as promising probes for label-free detections with the potential for use in real-time monitoring. The integration of new materials in the FET-based probe enhances the analytical performance of the developed probes by increasing the active surface area, rejecting interfering agents, and providing the possibility for surface modification. Furthermore, the use of new materials eliminates the need for traditional labeling techniques, providing rapid and cost-effective detection of biological analytes. This review discusses the application of materials in the development of FET-based label-free systems for point-of-care (POC) analysis of different biomedical analytes from 2018 to 2024. The mechanism of action of the reported probes is discussed, as well as their pros and cons were also investigated. Also, the possible challenges and potential for the fabrication of commercial devices or methods for use in clinics were discussed.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor (FET)-based biosensors are powerful analytical tools for detecting trace-specific biomolecules in diverse sample matrices, especially in the realms of pandemics and infectious diseases. The primary concern in applying these biosensors is their stability, a factor directly impacting the accuracy and reliability of sensing over extended durations. The risk of biosensor degradation is substantial, potentially jeopardizing the sensitivity and selectivity and leading to inaccurate readings, including the possibility of false positives or negatives. This paper delves into the documented degradation of silicon nanobelt FET (NBFET) biosensors induced by buffer solutions. The results highlight a positive correlation between immersion time and the threshold voltage of NBFET devices. Secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis demonstrates a gradual increase in sodium and potassium ion concentrations within the silicon as immersion days progress. This outcome is ascribed to the nanobelt's exposure to the buffer solution during the biosensing period, enabling ion penetration from the buffer into the silicon. This study emphasizes the critical need to address buffer-solution-induced degradation to ensure the long-term stability and performance of FET-based biosensors in practical applications.
