Abstract
Calprotectin, a metal ion-binding protein complex, plays a crucial role in the innate immune system and has gained prominence as a biomarker for various intestinal and systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and tuberculosis (TB). Current clinical testing methods rely on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), limiting accessibility and convenience. In this study, we introduce the Fab-Enabled Split-luciferase Calprotectin Assay (FESCA), a novel quantitative method for calprotectin measurement. FESCA utilizes two new fragment antigen binding proteins (Fabs), CP16 and CP17, that bind to different epitopes of the calprotectin complex. These Fabs are fused with split NanoLuc luciferase fragments, enabling the reconstitution of active luciferase upon binding to calprotectin either in solution or in varied immobilized assay formats. FESCA's output luminescence can be measured with standard laboratory equipment as well as consumer-grade cell phone cameras. FESCA can detect physiologically relevant calprotectin levels across various sample types, including serum, plasma, and whole blood. Notably, FESCA can detect abnormally elevated native calprotectin from TB patients. In summary, FESCA presents a convenient, low-cost, and quantitative method for assessing calprotectin levels in various biological samples, with the potential to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory diseases, especially in at-home or point-of-care settings.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has been an unpredicted burden on global healthcare system by infecting over 700 million individuals, with approximately 6 million deaths worldwide. COVID-19 significantly impacted all sectors, but it very adversely affected the healthcare system. These effects were much more evident in the resource limited part of the world. Individuals with acute conditions were also severely impacted. Although classical COVID-19 diagnostics such as RT-PCR and rapid antibody testing have played a crucial role in reducing the spread of infection, these diagnostic techniques are associated with certain limitations. For instance, drawback of RT-PCR diagnostics is that due to degradation of viral RNA during shipping, it can give false negative results. Also, rapid antibody testing majorly depends on the phase of infection and cannot be performed on immune compromised individuals. These limitations in current diagnostic tools require the development of nanodiagnostic tools for early detection of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has necessitated the development of specific, responsive, accurate, rapid, low-cost, and simple-to-use diagnostic tools at point of care. In recent years, early detection has been a challenge for several health diseases that require prompt attention and treatment. Disease identification at an early stage, increased imaging of inner health issues, and ease of diagnostic processes have all been established using a new discipline of laboratory medicine called nanodiagnostics, even before symptoms have appeared. Nanodiagnostics refers to the application of nanoparticles (material with size equal to or less than 100 nm) for medical diagnostic purposes. The special property of nanomaterials compared to their macroscopic counterparts is a lesser signal loss and an enhanced electromagnetic field. Nanosize of the detection material also enhances its sensitivity and increases the signal to noise ratio. Microchips, nanorobots, biosensors, nanoidentification of single-celled structures, and microelectromechanical systems are some of the most modern nanodiagnostics technologies now in development. Here, we have highlighted the important roles of nanotechnology in healthcare sector, with a detailed focus on the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. We outline the different types of nanotechnology-based diagnostic devices for SARS-CoV-2 and the possible applications of nanomaterials in COVID-19 treatment. We also discuss the utility of nanomaterials in formulating preventive strategies against SARS-CoV-2 including their use in manufacture of protective equipment, formulation of vaccines, and strategies for directly hindering viral infection. We further discuss the factors hindering the large-scale accessibility of nanotechnology-based healthcare applications and suggestions for overcoming them.

[PMID: 38173762 PMCID: PMC10760818 DOI: 10.55730/1300-0527.3587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Cancer, becoming increasingly common globally, has a high mortality rate. Despite the much research on diagnosis and treatment methods, the benefits of technological developments, and newly developed sensor devices, cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection using powerful and noninvasive tools could be a future focus for prognosis and treatment follow-up. Therefore, electrochemical biosensors can be a strong choice for the detection of cancer biomarkers (such as alpha-fetoprotein, cytochrome c, prostate-specific antigen, myoglobin, carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, a cancer antigen, epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor, circulating tumor cell, and breast cancer antigen 1/2) due to their advantages such as high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, low cost, short analysis time, and simplicity. Furthermore, electrochemical biosensors are better suited for point-of-care applications due to their mass production and miniaturization ease. This review provides an overview of different electrochemical measurement techniques, bioreceptor surfaces, signal production and amplification, and the integration of electrochemical-modified sensors. Cancer biomarkers based on electrochemical biosensors were given in detail. In addition, studies with MIP-based sensors and immunosensors have been extensively discussed. Integrating electrochemical biosensors with cancer biomarkers was also emphasized as a new research trend. Finally, we provide an overview of current advances in measuring and analyzing cancer biomarkers using electrochemical biosensors and detail current challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
This work reports the construction of a novel nanostructured immunosensor for detection of the troponin I biomarker (cTnI). Anti-troponin I antibody was anchored on the modified graphite electrode with reduced graphene oxide and polytyramine for detection of troponin I in serum samples. The performance of the electro-immunosensor was evaluated by differential pulse voltammetry. The immunosensor presented a wide work range, from 4 ng mL-1 to 4 pg mL-1 , whose detection limit (4 pg mL-1 ) is significantly lower than the basal level in human serum, and maintained 100% of response after 30 days of storage. Moreover, the immunosensor showed good selectivity for detection of cTnI in real sample containing interfering substances and specificity of response to cTnI in the serum of healthy and sick patients, and demonstrated the possibility of reuse for two consecutive analyses, in addition to using a simplified and inexpensive platform when compared to other devices, demonstrating them excellent potential for application in diagnosis in the early stages of acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
The development of immunosensing assays for in vitro diagnostics has attracted great attention in recent years. Various substrate materials and immobilization methods of biomolecules were exploited for immunosensors, but their bioactivity and longevity have been facing serious challenges. To address this limitation, we investigated a natural silk cocoon membrane as immunosensing substrate material. By using its intrinsic properties, the target biomolecules were immobilized on the membrane through directional immunoaffinity recognition. The silk cocoon membrane-based immunosensor showed great potential for both qualitative and quantitative immunoassays, through naked-eye observation or analyzing the change in red color intensity, respectively. The immunosensor exhibited significant detection capability for anti-D (titer 1:1024) sensitized red blood cells. The colorimetric responses of concentrations ranged from 1 μg/mL to 1 ng/mL, and the detection limit for anti-D was 3.4 ng/mL. The immunosensor also showed excellent stability for the immobilized antibodies when stored at 4 and 25 °C; the bioactivity remained unchanged or slightly declined within 40 weeks. Even at 37 °C, the bioactivity began to decline after 12 weeks. This current work highlights the potential of using the natural silk cocoon membrane as a substrate for a versatile and thermally stable immunosensing platform for application in immunoassays.

Abstract
Recently, piezoelectric materials have received remarkable attention in marine applications for energy harvesting from the ocean, which is a harsh environment with powerful and impactful waves and currents. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, although there are various designs of piezoelectric energy harvesters for marine applications, piezoelectric materials have not been employed for sensory and measurement applications in marine environment. In the present research, a drifter-based piezoelectric sensor is proposed to measure ocean waves' height and period. To analyze the motion principle and the working performance of the proposed drifter-based piezoelectric sensor, a dynamic model was developed. The developed dynamic model investigated the system's response to an input of ocean waves and provides design insights into the geometrical and material parameters. Next, finite element analysis (FEA) simulations using the commercial software COMSOL-Multiphysics were carried out with the help of a coupled physics analysis of Solid Mechanics and Electrostatics Modules to achieve the output voltages. An experimental prototype was fabricated and tested to validate the results of the dynamic model and the FEA simulation. A slider-crank mechanism was used to mimic ocean waves throughout the experiment, and the results showed a close match between the proposed dynamic modeling, FEA simulations, and experimental testing. In the end, a short discussion is devoted to interpreting the output results, comparing the results of the simulations with those of the experimental testing, sensor's resolution, and the self-powering functionality of the proposed drifter-based piezoelectric sensor.

Abstract
The intensive research on the synthesis and characterization of gold (Au) nanostructures has been extensively documented over the last decades. These investigations allow the researchers to understand the relationships between the intrinsic properties of Au nanostructures such as particle size, shape, morphology, and composition to synthesize the Au nano/hybrid nanostructures with novel physicochemical properties. By tuning the properties above, these nanostructures are extensively employed to detect and remove trace amounts of toxic pollutants from the environment. This review attempts to document the achievements and current progress in Au-based nanostructures, general synthetic and fabrication strategies and their utilization in electrochemical sensing and environmental remediation applications. Additionally, the applications of Au nanostructures (e.g., as adsorbents, sensing platforms, catalysts, and electrodes) and advancements in the field of electrochemical sensing of different target analytes (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, heavy metals, small molecules, and antigens) are summarized. The literature survey concludes the existing methods for the detection of toxic contaminants at various concentration levels. Finally, the existing challenges and future research directions on electrochemical sensing and degradation of toxic contaminants using Au nanostructures are defined.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors are affinity-based biosensors characterized by several useful features such as specificity, miniaturizability, low cost and simplicity, making them very interesting for many applications in several scientific fields. One of the significant issues in the design of electrochemical immunosensors is to increase the system’s sensitivity. Different strategies have been developed, one of the most common is the use of nanostructured materials as electrode materials, nanocarriers, electroactive or electrocatalytic nanotracers because of their abilities in signal amplification and biocompatibility. In this review, we will consider some of the most used nanostructures employed in the development of electrochemical immunosensors (e.g., metallic nanoparticles, graphene, carbon nanotubes) and many other still uncommon nanomaterials. Furthermore, their diagnostic applications in the last decade will be discussed, referring to two relevant issues of present-day: the detection of tumor markers and viruses.

Abstract
The recent events of outbreaks related to different respiratory viruses in the past few years, exponentiated by the pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), reported worldwide caused by SARS-CoV-2, raised a concern and increased the search for more information on viruses-based diseases. The detection of the virus with high specificity and sensitivity plays an important role for an accurate diagnosis. Despite the many efforts to identify the SARS-CoV-2, the diagnosis still relays on expensive and time-consuming analysis. A fast and reliable alternative is the use of low-cost biosensor for in loco detection. This review gathers important contributions in the biosensor area regarding the most current respiratory viruses, presents the advances in the assembly of the devices and figures of merit. All information is useful for further biosensor development for the detection of respiratory viruses, such as for the new coronavirus.

Abstract
Cancer is a broad-spectrum disease which is spread globally, having high mortality rates. This results from genetic, epigenetic and molecular abnormalities caused by various mutations. The main reason behind this critical problem lies in its diagnostics, the late detection of the disease is the root cause of all this. This can be managed well by the timely diagnosis of cancer by means of the tumor biomarkers present in the body fluids such as serum, blood, and urine. These tumor biomarkers are present in normal conditions as well, but their concentrations are altered in the presence of a malignant tumor. Prolonged studies have reported that immunosensors can be used to detect the minimal amount of biomarkers present in the sample and also provides point-of-care detection. The recent investigations demonstrated the use of polymers along with immunosensors for enhancing their selectivity and sensitivity towards the biomarkers and making them even more efficient. This review focuses on the variety of tumor biomarkers, different types of immunosensors and polymeric immunosensors using different polymers like polypyrrole, polyaniline, PHEMA, etc.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis, which affects humans and animals. Serologic detection of anti-T. gondii immunoglobulins plays a crucial role in the clinical diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. In this work, a novel electrochemical immunosensor for detecting anti-T. gondii immunoglobulins is reported, based on immobilization of an in silico predicted peptide (PepB3), obtained from membrane protein of T. gondii, on the graphite electrode modified with poly(3-hydroxybenzoic acid). Indirect ELISA confirmed infection and binding specificity of peptide PepB3. Molecular modelling and simulations show this peptide binds to the T. gondii human Fab antibody in the surface antigen 1 (SAG1) binding site, remaining a stable complex during the molecular dynamic simulations, especially by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. This electrochemical immunosensor was able to discriminate different periods of infection, using infected mouse serum samples, showing selectivity and discriminating infected and uninfected mouse serum.

Abstract
Immunological methods are widely applied in medical diagnostics for the detection and quantification of a plethora of analytes. Associated analytical challenges usually require these assays to be performed in a central laboratory. During the last several years, however, the clinical demand for rapid immunodiagnostics to be performed in the immediate proximity of the patient has been constantly increasing. Biosensors constitute one of the key technologies enabling the necessary, yet challenging transition of immunodiagnostic tests from the central laboratory to the point of care. This review is intended to provide insights into the current state of this transition process with a focus on the role of biosensor-based systems. To begin with, an overview on standard immunodiagnostic tests presently employed in the central laboratory and at the point of care is given. The review then moves on to demonstrate how biosensor technologies are reshaping this landscape. Single analyte as well as multiplexed immunosensors applicable to point of care scenarios are presented. A section on the areas of clinical application then creates the bridge to day-to-day diagnostic practice. Finally, the depicted developments are critically weighed and future perspectives discussed in order to give the reader a firm idea on the forthcoming trends to be expected in this diagnostic field.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors resulting from a combination of the traditional immunoassay approach with modern biosensors and electrochemical analysis constitute a current research hotspot. They exhibit both the high selectivity characteristics of immunoassays and the high sensitivity of electrochemical analysis, along with other merits such as small volume, convenience, low cost, simple preparation, and real-time on-line detection, and have been widely used in the fields of environmental monitoring, medical clinical trials and food analysis. Notably, the rapid development of nanotechnology and the wide application of nanomaterials have provided new opportunities for the development of high-performance electrochemical immunosensors. Various nanomaterials with different properties can effectively solve issues such as the immobilization of biological recognition molecules, enrichment and concentration of trace analytes, and signal detection and amplification to further enhance the stability and sensitivity of the electrochemical immunoassay procedure. This review introduces the working principles and development of electrochemical immunosensors based on different signals, along with new achievements and progress related to electrochemical immunosensors in various fields. The importance of various types of nanomaterials for improving the performance of electrochemical immunosensor is also reviewed to provide a theoretical basis and guidance for the further development and application of nanomaterials in electrochemical immunosensors.

Abstract
Salmonella infectious diseases spreading every day through food have become a life-threatening problem for millions of people and growing menace to society. Health expert's estimate that the yearly cost of all the food borne diseases is approximately $5-6 billion. Traditional methodologies for salmonella analysis provide high reliability and very low limits of detection. Among them immunoassays and Nucleic acid-based assays provide results within 24h, but they are expensive, tedious and time consuming. So, there is an urgent need for development of rapid, robust and cost-effective alternative technologies for real-time monitoring of salmonella. Several biosensors have been designed and commercialized for detection of this pathogen in food and water. In this overview, we have updated the literature concerning novel biosensing methods such as various optical and electrochemical biosensors and newly developed nano- and micro-scaled and aptamers based biosensors for detection of salmonella pathogen. Furthermore, attention has been focused on the principal concepts, applications, and examples that have been achieved up to diagnose salmonella. In addition, commercial biosensors and foreseeable future trends for onsite detecting salmonella have been summarized.
