Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiovascular disease that occurs when there is an elevated demand for myocardial oxygen as a result of the rupture or erosion of atherosclerotic plaques. Globally, the mortality rates associated with MI are steadily on the rise. Traditional diagnostic biomarkers employed in clinical settings for MI diagnosis have various drawbacks, prompting researchers to investigate fast, precise, and highly sensitive biosensor platforms and technologies. Biosensors are analytical devices that combine biological elements with physicochemical transducers to detect and quantify specific compounds or analytes. These devices play a crucial role in various fields including healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety, and biotechnology. Biosensors developed for the detection of cardiac biomarkers are typically electrochemical, mass, and optical biosensors. Nanomaterials have emerged as revolutionary components in the field of biosensing, offering unique properties that significantly enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the detection systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements and applications of nanomaterial-based biosensing systems. Beginning with an exploration of the fundamental principles governing nanomaterials, we delve into their diverse properties, including but not limited to electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal characteristics. The integration of these nanomaterials as transducers in biosensors has paved the way for unprecedented developments in analytical techniques. Moreover, the principles and types of biosensors and their applications in cardiovascular disease diagnosis are explained in detail. The current biosensors for cardiac biomarker detection are also discussed, with an elaboration of the pros and cons of existing platforms and concluding with future perspectives.

Abstract
We investigate the interactions between C-reactive protein (CRP) and new CRP-binding peptide materials using experimental (biological and physicochemical) methods with the support of theoretical simulations (computational modeling analysis). Three specific CRP-binding peptides (P2, P3, and P9) derived from an M13 bacteriophage have been identified using phage-display technology. The binding efficiency of the peptides exposed on phages toward the CRP protein was demonstrated via biological methods. Fibers of the selected phages/peptides interact differently due to different compositions of amino acid sequences on the exposed peptides, which was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Numerical and experimental studies consistently showed that the P3 peptide is the best CRP binder. A combination of theoretical and experimental methods demonstrates that identifying the best binder can be performed simply, cheaply, and fast. Such an approach has not been reported previously for peptide screening and demonstrates a new trend in science where calculations can replace or support laborious experimental techniques. Finally, the best CRP binder─the P3 peptide─was used for CRP recognition on silicate-modified indium tin oxide-coated glass electrodes. The obtained electrodes exhibit a wide range of operation (1.0-100 μg mL-1) with a detection limit (LOD = 3σ/S) of 0.34 μg mL-1. Moreover, the dissociation constant Kd of 4.2 ± 0.144 μg mL-1 (35 ± 1.2 nM) was evaluated from the change in the current. The selectivity of the obtained electrode was demonstrated in the presence of three interfering proteins. These results prove that the presented P3 peptide is a potential candidate as a receptor for CRP, which can replace specific antibodies.

Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are popular tools for many different applications - SAMs of commercially available chemicals that convincingly inhibit unspecific binding for electrochemical sensors, however, have yet to be developed. While adsorption of foulants prohibits the reliable analysis of biological samples, unspecific binding of the analyte similarly impedes the investigation of binding characteristics from buffer solutions. In this communication, diglycolamine is introduced for the modification of electrodes with outstanding antifouling performance. The presented sensor design, solely consisting of diglycolamine and an aptamer of choice, convinces with its ease of preparation, low cost, and, most importantly, an exceptional specificity. The latter was found to rely on a gentle but potent cleaning of the electrodes, as only our optimized cleaning procedure granted the diglycolamine layer its excellent fouling minimization performance, while literature standard protocols failed to do so. Each step of the sensor fabrication protocol was optimized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, while square-wave voltammetry, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and zeta potential measurement were performed for further characterization. The presented approach of surface modification with diglycolamine is a versatile method applicable not just to electrochemical measurements, but to a variety of other detection techniques, too, and has the potential to change the way we investigate binding characteristics and fabricate sensors for the analysis of complex biological samples.

Abstract
The prevalence of mutated species of COVID-19 antigens has provided a strong impetus for identifying a cost-effective, rapid and facile strategy for identifying the viral loads in public places. The ever-changing genetic make-up of SARS-CoV-2 posts a significant challenfge for the research community to identify a robust mechanism to target, bind and confirm the presence of a viral load before it spreads. Synthetic DNA constructs are a novel strategy to design complementary DNA sequences specific for antigens of interest as in this review's case SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Small molecules, complementary DNA and protein-DNA complexes have been known to target analytes in minimal concentrations. This phenomenon can be exploited by nanomaterials which have unique electronic properties such as ballistic conduction. Graphene is one such candidate for designing a device with a very low LOD in the order of zeptomolar and attomolar concentrations. Surface modification will be the significant aspect of the device which needs to have a high degree of sensitivity at the same time as providing a rapid signaling mechanism.

Abstract
Over the past decade, researchers have investigated electrochemical sensing for the purpose of fabricating wearable point-of-use platforms. These wearable platforms have the ability to non-invasively track biomarkers that are clinically relevant and provide a comprehensive evaluation of the user's health. Due to many significant operational advantages, aptamer-based sensing is gaining traction.Aptamer-based sensors have properties like long-term stability, resistance to denaturation, and high sensitivity. Using electrochemical sensing with aptamer-based biorecognition is advantageous because it provides significant benefits like lower detection limits, a wider range of operations, and, most importantly, the ability to detect using a label-free approach. This paper provides an outlook into the current state of electrochemical aptasensing. This review looks into the significance of the detection of biomarkers like glucose, cortisol etc., for the purpose of lifestyle and chronic disease monitoring. Moreover, this review will also provide a comprehensive evaluation of the current challenges and prospects in this field.

Abstract
In the present work, an aptasensing method based on integration of RNA on Cu-MOF was developed for detection of C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Cu-MOF showed stimulated fluorescence and mimetic peroxidase enzymatic activity at the time and can be used as dual-signal transduction. CRP binding RNA was used as a highly selective recognition element and immobilized on the Cu-MOF. The immobilized RNA can block the peroxidase activity and fluorescence of the signal traducer probe. Adding CRP to the RNA/Cu-MOF will release RNA from the surface of Cu-MOF and recover both the stimulated fluorescence and peroxidase activity. A biosensor was built for detection of CRP using the two modes of transduction, either colorimetry or fluorometry. A dynamic linear range was obtained from 0.1 to 50 ng mL -1with a limit of detection (LOD) as small as 40 pg mL -1was calculated in fluorescence mode and 240 pg mL -1 as LOD in colorimetry mode. The LODs are lower than the LOD of nephelometric techniques used in clinical practice and is comparable to the normal clinical cutoff value in high-sensitivity CRP assays (1 μg/mL). The aptasensor was successfully applied for detection of CRP in Covid-19 patients with spike recoveries between 84 and 102% and RSD from 0.94% to 2.05%.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase protein synthesized in the liver in response to inflammation, is one of the biomarkers used for the detection of several diseases. Sepsis and cardiovascular diseases are two of the most important diseases for which detection of CRP at very early stages in the clinical range can help avert serious consequences. Here, a CNT-based nanobiosensing system, which is portable and reproducible, is used for label-free, online detection of CRP. The system consists of an aptameric CNT-based field-effect transistor benefiting from a buried gate geometry with Al2O3 as a high dielectric layer and can reflect the pro-cytokine concentration. Test results show that the device responds to CRP changes within 8 min, with a limit of detection as low as 150 pM (0.017 mg L-1). The device was found to have a linear behavior in the range of 0.43-42.86 nM (0.05-5 mg L-1). The selectivity of the device was tested with TNF-α, IL-6, and BSA, to which the nanosensing system showed no significant response compared with CRP. The device showed good stability for 14 days and was completely reproducible during this period. These findings indicate that the proposed portable system is a potential candidate for CRP measurements in the clinical range.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the biomarkers related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, it is crucial to develop a highly sensitive, selective, and cost-effective biosensor for the determination of CRP. In this study, we designed an electrochemical aptasensor. For this purpose, the surface of a carbon screen-printed electrode was first modified with a carbon nanofiber-chitosan (CNFs-CHIT) nanocomposite. After that, the amino-terminal RNA aptamer probes were linked to the amino groups of CHIT via glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker. Finally, methylene blue (MB) as a redox probe was self-assembled on the surface of the aptasensor. The obtained results indicated that the CNFs-CHIT nanocomposite increased the surface coverage of the aptamer up to 5.9 times. The square-wave voltammetry was used for the measurement of CRP concentration in the linear range of 1.0–150.0 pM. The obtained results indicated that the signal had a logarithmic relationship with the concentration of CRP. The limit of detection (LOD) was obtained to be 0.37 pM. The dissociation constant (Kd) that demonstrates the affinity of the aptamer probe to its target was found to be 0.93 pM. The analytical performances of the proposed RNA aptasensor were better than the previously reported aptasensors for CRP. The proposed aptasensor was also applied for the determination of CRP in the human plasma samples. The obtained results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between the responses of the proposed RNA aptasensor and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (ELISA). The analytical performances of the proposed RNA aptasensor described in this paper are better than previously reported aptasensors for CRP determination.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes and jaundice are the correlated diseases predominantly found in mother and newborn child. Jaundice is a neonatal complication with an increased risk when mother has gestational diabetes. Mothers with diabetes at an early stage of gestational age are at higher risk for hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) and hypoglycemia. So, it is mandatory to monitor the condition of diabetes and jaundice during the pregnancy period for a healthy child and safest delivery. On the other hand, nanotechnology has displayed a rapid advancement that can be implemented to overcome these issues. The development of high-performance diagnosis using appropriate biomarkers provides their efficacy in the detection gestational diabetes and jaundice. This review covers the aspects from a fast-developing field to generate nanosensors in the nanosized dimensions for the applications to overcome these complications by coupling diagnostics with biomarkers. Further, the serum-based biomarkers have been discussed for these inborn complications and also the diagnosis with the current trend.

Abstract
We have investigated the expression of nucleolin (NCL) in liquid biopsies of prostate cancer (PCa) patients and healthy controls to determine its correlation with tumor prognosis. To detect NCL we used a modified AS1411 aptamer designated by AS1411-N5. In presence of NCL, AS1411-N5 increases the fluorescence by assuming a G-quadruplex (G4) structure, while in the absence of NCL the fluorescence signal remains quenched. The structural characterization of AS1411-N5 was performed by biophysical studies, which demonstrated the formation of G4 parallel conformation in the presence of 100 mM K+ and the ability to recognize NCL with high affinity (KD = 138.1 ± 5.5 nM). Furthermore, the clinical relevance of NCL in PCa liquid biopsies was assessed by using an NCL-based ELISA assay. The protein was measured in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cell lysate of 158 individuals, including PCa patients and healthy individuals. The results depicted a remarkable increase of NCL levels in the PBMC's lysate of PCa patients (mean of 626.1 pg/mL whole blood) when compared to healthy individuals (mean of 198.5 pg/mL whole blood). The ELISA results also provided evidence for the usefulness of determining NCL levels in advanced PCa stages. Furthermore, a microfluidic assay showed the ability of AS1411-N5 in recognizing NCL in spiked human plasma samples.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactive protein that appears in the bloodstream in response to inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 produced by adipocytes and macrophages during the acute phase of the inflammatory/infectious process. CRP measurement is widely used as a representative acute and chronic inflammatory disease marker. With the development of diagnostic techniques measuring CRP more precisely than before, CRP is being used not only as a traditional biomarker but also as a biomarker for various diseases. The existing commercialized CRP assays are dominated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ELISA has high selectivity and sensitivity, but its limitations include requiring complex analytic processes, long analysis times, and professional manpower. To overcome these problems, nanobiotechnology is able to provide alternative diagnostic tools. By introducing the nanobio hybrid material to the CRP biosensors, CRP can be measured more quickly and accurately, and highly sensitive biosensors can be used as portable devices. In this review, we discuss the recent advancements in electrochemical, electricity, and spectroscopy-based CRP biosensors composed of biomaterial and nanomaterial hybrids.

Abstract
As inflammation plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes, C-reactive protein (CRP) can be used as a biomarker. To detect CRP precisely, the authors prepared a CRP electrochemical biosensor consisting of an eight Ag ion-intercalated multifunctional DNA four-way junction (MF-DNA-4WJ) and a porous rhodium nanoparticle (pRhNP) heterolayer on a micro-gap electrode. To increase conductivity, we used eight Ag+ ion-inserted DNA four-way junctions through a C-C mismatch. Each DNA 4WJ was designed to have the CRP aptamer sequence, an anchoring region (thiol group), and two of four C-C mismatch regions at the end of the fragments. After an annealing step, the MF-DNA-4WJ assembly configuration and selective binding of CRP were confirmed through native TBM-PAGE (Tris-borate-magnesium chloride-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). The Au micro-gap electrode was fabricated to load 5 μl of the sample, and this was performed during eight experiments on one chip to establish the accuracy of the data. Then, pRhNPs were immobilized on a Au micro-gap electrode using cysteamine. To confirm the electrochemical properties, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were conducted. The durability of pRhNPs was confirmed through CV. To test the sensing performance of the prepared CRP biosensor, the limit of detection (LOD) and selectivity tests were conducted using EIS. The results indicated that charge transfer resistance (Rct) can be used efficiently to probe these interactions within the variable CRP concentration range, from 1 pM to 100 nM (0.23 ng L-1-23 μg L-1). The LOD of this sensor was 0.349 pM (0.08 ng L-1) (at S/N = 3). As a result of diluting the CRP to the same concentration range in a 20% human serum sample, the LOD was 3.55 fM (0.814 pg L-1) (at S/N = 3).

Abstract
The in situ synthesis is reported of citric acid-functionalized ultra-fine bimetallic PtRu alloy nanoparticles (CA@PtRu ANPs) through a simple one-pot wet chemical method. The cost-efficient CA@PtRu ANPs with an average diameter of 3.2 nm revealed to have enhanced surface area, peroxidase-like activity, high stability, and adequate availability of functional groups to bind biomolecules. Along with nanoparticle surface area, the surface charge has also significantly affected the peroxidase-like activity and the colloidal suspension stability. As an excellent immobilization matrix and peroxidase mimic, the CA@PtRu ANPs were utilized to develop non-enzymatic colorimetric immunoassay for rapid, selective, and sensitive quantification of C-reactive protein (CRP) biomarkers. In this immunoassay, CA@PtRu ANPs serve as enzyme mimic that significantly amplifies the color signals, and amine-functionalized silica-coated magnetic microbeads (APTES/SiO2@Fe3O4) act as CRP-recognizing capture probes. The absorbance curves of colorimetric immunoassay were measured in wavelengths between 550 and 750 nm, and the maximum absorbance at 652 nm was used to establish a linear relationship between absorbance and CRP concentrations. The developed colorimetric immunoassay showed rapid and sensitive quantification of CRP levels from 0.01 to 180 μg mL-1 with a LOD of 0.01 μg mL-1. Moreover, the mean recovery of CRP from spiked human serum samples lies between 97 and 109% (n = 3), which indicates that the proposed nanozyme-linked immunoassay has the potential to be used in rapid point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Aptamers are exciting smart molecular probes for specific recognition of disease biomarkers. A number of strategies have been developed to convert target-aptamer binding into physically detectable signals. Since the aptamer sequence was first discovered, a large variety of aptamer-based biosensors have been developed, with considerable attention paid to their potential applications in clinical diagnostics. So far, a variety of techniques in combination with a wide range of functional nanomaterials have been used for the design of aptasensors to further improve the sensitivity and detection limit of target determination. In this paper, the advantages of aptamers over traditional antibodies as the molecular recognition components in biosensors for high-throughput screening target molecules are highlighted. Aptamer-target pairing configurations are predominantly single- or dual-site binding; the design of recognition modes of each aptamer-target pairing configuration is described. Furthermore, signal transduction strategies including optical, electrical, mechanical, and mass-sensitive modes are clearly explained together with examples. Finally, we summarize the recent progress in the development of aptamer-based biosensors for clinical diagnosis, including detection of cancer and disease biomarkers and in vivo molecular imaging. We then conclude with a discussion on the advanced development and challenges of aptasensors.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is considered as one of the major life-threatening health issues worldwide. Growing number of cases every year is demanding rapid, portable, and early detection by the sensing devices for the identification of MI. This research work introduces a modified interdigitated electrode (IDE) sensing surface constructed with single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCN) to detect the cardiac biomarker, C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP-specific aptamer was conjugated with gold nanoparticle and attached on SWCN-constructed IDE surface. This probe-modified sensing surface has reached the limit of CRP detection to 10 pM on a linear regression curve with the regression coefficient of R² = 0.9223 [y = 0.9198x - 0.4326]. Further, control molecules, such as random aptamer sequence and nontarget cardiac biomarker (Troponin I), did not show the current response, indicating the specific CRP detection. This sensing strategy helps to detect the lower level of CRP and diagnose the MI at its earlier stages.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers capable of affine and specific binding to their molecular targets have now established themselves as a very promising alternative to monoclonal antibodies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Although the main focus in aptamers’ research and development for biomedicine is made on cardiovascular, infectious, and malignant diseases, the use of aptamers as therapeutic or diagnostic tools in the context of rheumatic diseases is no less important. In this review, we consider the main features of aptamers that make them valuable molecular tools for rheumatologists, and summarize the studies on the selection and application of aptamers for protein biomarkers associated with rheumatic diseases. We discuss the progress in the development of aptamer-based diagnostic assays and targeted therapeutics for rheumatic disorders, future prospects in the field, and issues that have yet to be addressed.

Abstract
Neonatal sepsis is a bloodstream infection primarily caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), Group B Streptococcus (GBS), Listeria monocytogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, S. aureus, Klebsiella spp. and non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteria. Neonatal Sepsis is referred as a critical response to the infection in the neonatal period that can lead to the failure of body organs and thereby causing damage to the tissues resulting in death of the neonates. Nearly 4 million deaths across the world are occurred due to neonatal sepsis infections. In order to prevent the bloodstream infections in the neonates, it is indispensable to diagnose the disease properly for appropriate treatment during the point of care. Numerous studies have been reported to identify major biomarkers associated with neonatal sepsis including Serum Amyloid A (SAA), C - reactive protein (CRP), Procalcitonin (PCT) and Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP). Distinct diagnostic platforms have also been developed detecting the presence of bloodstream infections including electrochemical, potentiometric, and impedimetric sensors. Recently, electrochemical biosensors with the integration of nanomaterials have emerged as a better platform for neonatal sepsis biomarkers detection. This review article summarizes the diverse screening platforms, evaluation parameters, and new advances based on implications of nanomaterials for the development of biosensors detecting neonatal sepsis infections. The review further elucidates the significance and future scope of distinctive platforms which are predominantly associated with detection of neonatal sepsis.

Abstract
The growing number of various diseases and the increase of environmental contamination are the causes for the development of novel methods for their detection. The possibility of the application of affinity-based biosensors for such purposes seems particularly promising as they provide high selectivity and low detection limits. Recently, the usage of hybrid antibody-aptamer sandwich constructs was shown to be more advantageous in terms of working parameters in comparison to aptamer-based and immune-based biosensors. This review is focused on the usage of hybrid antibody-aptamer receptor layers for the determination of clinically and environmentally important target molecules. In this work, antibodies and aptamer molecules are characterized and the methods of their immobilization as well as analytical signal generation are shown. This is followed by the critical presentation of examples of hybrid sandwich biosensors that have been elaborated in the past 12 years.

Abstract
Aptamers are synthetic bio-receptors of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) origin selected by the systematic evolution of ligands (SELEX) process that bind a broad range of target analytes with high affinity and specificity. So far, electrochemical biosensors have come up as a simple and sensitive method to utilize aptamers as a bio-recognition element. Numerous aptamer based sensors have been developed for clinical diagnostics, food, and environmental monitoring and several other applications are under development. Aptasensors are capable of extending the limits of current analytical techniques in clinical diagnostics, food, and environmental sample analysis. However, the potential applications of aptamer based electrochemical biosensors are unlimited; current applications are observed in the areas of food toxins, clinical biomarkers, and pesticide detection. This review attempts to enumerate the most representative examples of research progress in aptamer based electrochemical biosensing principles that have been developed in recent years. Additionally, this account will discuss various current developments on aptamer-based sensors toward heavy metal detection, for various cardiac biomarkers, antibiotics detection, and also on how the aptamers can be deployed to couple with antibody-based assays as a hybrid sensing platform. Aptamers can be used in various applications, however, this account will focus on the recent advancements made toward food, environmental, and clinical diagnostic application. This review paper compares various electrochemical aptamer based sensor detection strategies that have been applied so far and used as a state of the art. As illustrated in the literature, aptamers have been utilized extensively for environmental, cancer biomarker, biomedical application, and antibiotic detection and thus have been extensively discussed in this article.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a portable smartphone-based diffusometry for analyzing the C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration. An optimized fluorescence microscopic add-on system for a smartphone was used to image the 300 nm fluorescent beads. Sequential nanobead images were recorded for a period and the image data were used for fluorescence correlation spectrometric (FCS) analysis. Through the analysis, the nanobeads' diffusion coefficient was obtained. Further, the diffusion coefficients of the anti-CRP-coated nanobeads, which were suspended in the samples with various CRP concentrations, were estimated using smartphone-based diffusometry. After 10 min of reaction, the anti-CRP-coated nanobeads in a higher CRP concentration solution led to a lower diffusion coefficient. Based on the experiments, a linear sensing range of 1~8 µg/mL was found.

Ultrasensitive fluorescent aptasensor for CRP detection based on the RNase H assisted DNA recycling signal amplification strategy. RSC Adv 2019; 9:11960-11967. [PMID: 35517011 PMCID: PMC9063470 DOI: 10.1039/c9ra01352k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2019] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
An aptamer-based method for the ultrasensitive fluorescence detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) was developed using the ribonuclease H (RNase H) assisted DNA recycling signal amplification strategy. In this assay, CRP can specifically bind to the aptamer of CRP and the DNA chain of P1 is released from the aptamer/P1 (Ap/P1) complexes. After the addition of the fluorescence labeled (5-FAM) RNA, P1 hybridizes with fluorescence labeled RNA to form a P1/RNA double strand. When RNase H is added, the RNA with fluorescence labeling in the double strand is specifically cut into nucleotide fragments, which cannot be adsorbed on the surface of the GO, so as to generate a fluorescence signal. In the absence of CRP, fluorescence labeled RNA cannot hybridize with P1 to form double strands, which is able to directly adsorb on the surface of GO, resulting in no fluorescence signal. The detection limit is as low as 0.01 ng mL-1, with a linear dynamic range from 50 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1. This sensor is able to detect CRP in spiked human serum, urine and saliva. Thus, it shows a great application prospect in disease diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death within industrialized nations as well as an increasing cause of mortality and morbidity in many developing countries. Smoking, alcohol consumption and increased level of blood cholesterol are the main CVD risk factors. Other factors, such as the prevalence of overweight/obesity and diabetes, have increased considerably in recent decades and are indirect causes of CVD. Among CVDs, the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents the most common cause of emergency hospital admission. Since the prognosis of ACS is directly associated with timely initiation of revascularization, missed, misdiagnosis or late diagnosis have unfavorable medical implications. Early ACS diagnosis can reduce complications and risk of recurrence, finally decreasing the economic burden posed on the health care system as a whole. To decrease the risk of ACS and related CVDs and to reduce associated costs to healthcare systems, a fast management of patients with chest pain has become crucial and urgent. Despite great efforts, biochemical diagnostic approaches of CVDs remain difficult and controversial medical challenges as cardiac biomarkers should be rapidly released into the blood at the time of ischemia and persistent for a sufficient length of time to allow diagnostics, with tests that should be rapid, easy to perform and relatively inexpensive. Early biomarker assessments have involved testing for the total enzyme activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK), which cardiac troponins being the main accepted biomarkers for diagnosing myocardial injury and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To allow rapid diagnosis, it is necessary to replace the traditional biochemical assays by cardiac biosensor platforms. Among the numerous of possibilities existing today, electrochemical biosensors are important players as they have many of the required characteristics for point-of-care tests. Electrochemical based cardiac biosensors are highly adapted for monitoring the onset and progress of cardiovascular diseases in a fast and accurate manner, while being cheap and scalable devices. This review outlines the state of the art in the development of cardiac electrochemical sensors for the detection of different cardiac biomarkers ranging from troponin to BNP, N-terminal proBNP, and others.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a crucial clinical biomarker for inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the sensitive, selective and convenient detection of CRP is of great significance. Using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and combining the specific interaction between an aptamer and CRP, we developed a simple and convenient assay for CRP detection. The aptamer-based probe was fabricated through the hybridization of CRP-aptamer immobilized on magnetic beads (MBs) to a short complementary DNA (cDNA) chain attached to AuNPs to form a MB–Aptamer–AuNP sandwich structure. Upon the addition of CRP, aptamer–cDNA dehybridization occurred due to the strong interaction between CRP and the aptamer, resulting in the release of AuNPs, which were subjected to DFM imaging and subsequently counted using the MATLAB program. The number of AuNPs was therefore positively correlated to the concentration of CRP and a detection limit as low as 2.71 nM was achieved. The current approach could also exclude the disturbance of other proteins, including thrombin, IgG, Lys and BSA. In addition, the concentration of CRP detected was in good agreement with the amount cast in bovine and mouse serum, indicating that the proposed probe is robust and accurate, and it is very promising for practical applications where CRP detection is necessary. The current strategy is also promising for the detection of other proteins where a suitable aptamer is selected. An aptasensor based on the displacement of encoding AuNPs by analyte molecules was presented. Combined with magnetic separation and DFM imaging, the number of displaced AuNPs was counted, which was correlated to the concentration of the CRP.![]()

Abstract
Early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is critically important for successful treatment and recovery of patients. At present, detection of CVD at early stages of its progression becomes a major issue for world health. The nanoscale electrochemical biosensors exhibit diverse outstanding properties, rendering them extremely suitable for the determination of CVD biomarkers at very low concentrations in biological fluids. The unique advantages offered by electrochemical biosensors in terms of sensitivity and stability imparted by nanostructuring the electrode surface together with high affinity and selectivity of bioreceptors have led to the development of new electrochemical biosensing strategies that have introduced as interesting alternatives to conventional methodologies for clinical diagnostics of CVD. This review provides an updated overview of selected examples during the period 2005-2018 involving electrochemical biosensing approaches and signal amplification strategies based on nanomaterials, which have been applied for determination of CVD biomarkers. The studied CVD biomarkers include AXL receptor tyrosine kinase, apolipoproteins, cholesterol, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, fibrinogen (Fib), glucose, insulin, interleukins, lipoproteins, myoglobin, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and troponins (Tns) on electrochemical transduction format. Identification of new specific CVD biomarkers, multiplex bioassay for the simultaneous determination of biomarkers, emergence of microfluidic biosensors, real-time analysis of biomarkers and point of care validation with high sensitivity and selectivity are the major challenges for future research.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the most reason for deaths in all over the world. Hence, biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases are very crucial for diagnosis and management process. Biomarker detection demand is opened the important way in biosensor development field. Rapid, cheap, portable, precise, selective and sensitive biomarker sensing devices are needed at this point to detect and predict disease. A cardiac biomarker can be orderable as C-reactive protein, troponin I or T, myoglobin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-1, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase, low-density lipoprotein and myeloperoxidase. They are used for prediction of cardiovascular diseases. There are many methods for early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, but these have long time process and expensive devices. In recent studies, different biosensors have been developed to remove the problems in this field. Electrochemical devices and developed biosensors have many superiorities than others such as low cost, mobile, reliable, repeatable, need a little amount of solution. In this review, recent studies were presented as details for cardiovascular disease biomarkers detection using electrochemical methods.

Abstract
This paper reports an optical "TURN OFF" aptasensor, which is comprised of a deoxyribonucleic acid aptamer attached to a quantum dot on the terminus and gold nanoparticle on the terminus. The photoluminescence intensity is observed to decrease upon progressive addition of the target protein tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- ) to the sensor. For PBS-based TNF- samples, the beacon exhibited 19%-20% quenching at around 22 nM concentration. The photoluminescence intensity and the quenching efficiency showed a linear decrease and a linear increase, respectively, between 0 to 22.3 nM TNF- . The detection limit of the sensor was found to be 97.2 pM. Specificity test results determined that the sensor has higher selectivity toward TNF- than other control proteins such as C-reactive protein, albumin, and transferrin. The beacon successfully detected different concentrations of TNF- in human serum-based samples exhibiting around 10% quenching efficiency at 12.5 nM of the protein.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a crucial biomarker of cardiovascular diseases and for its detection both optical and electrochemical techniques were applied. This study concerns the application of DNA aptamer as recognition layer for CRP detection. For that purpose aptamer immobilization method on gold surface was selected and the content of receptor layer was optimized to ensure an efficient binding to target protein. The quality of the monolayer was verified by the application of chronocoulometry and atomic force microscopy. Using thiolated aptamers provided the formation of layers of highest density and stability. The square-wave voltammetry experiments performed in the presence of methylene blue redox indicator revealed a linear response of aptasensor towards CRP in the range from 1 to 100 pM. Moreover, a DNA aptamer - based sensor showed good selectivity towards C-reactive protein in comparison to interfering proteins including BSA and IgE. Finally, the analysis of CRP in serum sample was conducted using the developed aptasensor.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most expressed proteins in blood during acute phase inflammation, and its minute level increase has also been recognized for the clinical diagnosis of cardio vascular diseases. Unfortunately, the available commercial immunoassays are labour intensive, require large sample volumes, and have practical limitations, such as low stability and high production costs. Hence, we have developed a simple, cost effective, and label-free electrochemical immunoassay for the measurement of CRP in a drop of serum sample using an immunosensor strip made up of a screen printed carbon electrode (SPE) modified with anti-CRP functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The measurement relies on the decrease of the oxidation current of the redox indicator Fe3+/Fe2+, resulting from the immunoreaction between CRP and anti-CRP. Under optimal conditions, the present immunoassay measures CRP in a linear range from 0.4–200 nM (0.047–23.6 µg mL−1), with a detection limit of 0.15 nM (17 ng mL−1, S/N = 3) and sensitivity of 90.7 nA nM−1, in addition to a good reproducibility and storage stability. The analytical applicability of the presented immunoassay is verified by CRP measurements in human blood serum samples. This work provides the basis for a low-priced, safe, and easy-to-use point-of-care immunosensor assay to measure CRP at clinically relevant concentrations.

Abstract
This paper illustrates a new and sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for the analysis of C-reactive protein. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) disposable sheets were modified by using 3-cyanopropyltrimethoxysilane (CPTMS) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for the first time for immobilizing the anti-CRP antibody via covalent interactions without the need for any cross-linking agent. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), as well as square wave voltammetry (SWV) methods were applied to characterize immobilization steps of anti-CRP and to determine the CRP concentration. The optimization of the fabricated parameters and the analytical performance of the biosensor were widely evaluated. Charge transfer resistance changes were highly linear and sensitive with CRP concentration of 3.25-208 fg mL-1 range and associated with a limit of detection of 0.455 fg mL-1. This impedimetric biosensing system have excellent repeatability, reproducibility and reusability. Moreover, the binding characterization of CRP to anti-CRP was monitored by a single frequency impedance technique. The amount of CRP in human serum samples were analyzed by fabricated biosensor to determine the feasibility of the biosensing system in medical purposes. We suggest that CPTMS, a new silanization agent, is ideal in biosensor applications.

Abstract
Aptamers are short oligonucleotide sequences used in detection systems because of their high affinity binding to a variety of macromolecules. With the introduction of aptamers over 25 years ago came the exploration of their use in many different applications as a substitute for antibodies. Aptamers have several advantages; they are easy to synthesize, can bind to analytes for which it is difficult to obtain antibodies, and in some cases bind better than antibodies. As such, aptamer applications have significantly expanded as an adjunct to a variety of different immunoassay designs. The Multiple-Analyte Profiling (xMAP) technology developed by Luminex Corporation commonly uses antibodies for the detection of analytes in small sample volumes through the use of fluorescently coded microbeads. This technology permits the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in each sample tested and hence could be applied in many research fields. Although little work has been performed adapting this technology for use with apatmers, optimizing aptamer-based xMAP assays would dramatically increase the versatility of analyte detection. We report herein on the development of an xMAP bead-based aptamer/antibody sandwich assay for a biomarker of inflammation (C-reactive protein or CRP). Protocols for the coupling of aptamers to xMAP beads, validation of coupling, and for an aptamer/antibody sandwich-type assay for CRP are detailed. The optimized conditions, protocols and findings described in this research could serve as a starting point for the development of new aptamer-based xMAP assays.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a widely accepted biomarker of cardiovascular disease and inflammation. In this study, a RNA aptamer-based electrochemical sandwich type aptasensor for CRP detection was described using the functionalized silica microspheres as immunoprobes. Silica microspheres (Si MSs), which have good monodispersity and uniform shape, were firstly synthesized. The silica microspheres functionlized with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) provided large surface area for immobilizing signal molecules (Zinc ions, Zn2+) and antibodies (Ab). RNA aptamers, which were specific recognized to CRP, were assembled on the surface of Au NPs modified electrode via gold-sulfur affinity. In the presence of CRP, a sandwich structure of aptamer-CRP-immunoprobe was formed. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was employed to record the sensing signal, and a clearly reductive peak corresponding to Zn2+ at about -1.16V (vs. SCE) was obtained. Under optimal conditions, the aptasensor showed wide linear range (0.005ngmL-1 to 125ngmL-1) and low detection limit (0.0017ngmL-1 at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3). Some possible interfering substance was also investigated, and the results obtained showed that the aptasensor possessed good selectivity. When the aptasensor was applied to real serum samples analysis, the satisfied results were obtained, indicating that the aptasensor possessed potential real application ability.

Abstract
We present a wash-free high-sensitivity immunoassay of C-reactive proteins with droplet microfluidics. Microbeads are encapsulated within droplets for the immunoassay, and the droplets are scanned by a fluorescence detection platform to quantify the amount of proteins captured on the microbeads. The limit of detection determined by our platform is 0.01 μg mL-1, which is ten times more sensitive than conventional high-sensitivity C-reactive protein assays. With the decrease in diffusion distance within droplets, the immunoassay requires only half of the time required for similar conventional approaches. This approach for carrying out immunoassays can potentially be applied to other biomarkers beyond C-reactive proteins.

Abstract
An electrochemical aptasensor is a compact analytical device where the bioreceptor (aptamer) is coupled to a transducer surface to convert a biological interaction into a measurable signal (current) that can be easily processed, recorded and displayed. Since the discovery of the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Enrichment (SELEX) methodology, the selection of aptamers and their application as bioreceptors has become a promising tool in the design of electrochemical aptasensors. Aptamers present several advantages that highlight their usefulness as bioreceptors such as chemical stability, cost effectiveness and ease of modification towards detection and immobilization at different transducer surfaces. In this review, a special emphasis is given to the potential use of electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of protein disease biomarkers using voltammetry techniques. Methods for the immobilization of aptamers onto electrode surfaces are discussed, as well as different electrochemical strategies that can be used for the design of aptasensors.
