Abstract
A novel sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of the liver cancer marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum is proposed. The two-dimensional MXene material Ti3C2Tx was first prepared using etching and ultrasonic stripping, and then Ti3C2Tx was used to reduce chloroauric acid to form Ti3C2Tx/AuNP composites which were modified on the surface of the glassy carbon electrodes to form probe-type sensors. The Ti3C2Tx/AuNPs provide a large number of binding sites for the AFP capture antibody (Ab1) and increase the electrochemical reaction active site. The Ti3C2Tx/copper metal-organic frameworks HKUST-1 composite was also prepared by solvothermal method and combined with toluidine blue (TB) and AFP detection antibody (Ab2) to form a labeled sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor. The sensor achieved trace detection of AFP from 0.1 to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.073 pg/mL and possesses good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. The sensor performs well in clinical samples and has good potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of cancer demands sensitive and accurate detection of cancer biomarkers in blood. Carbon dots (CDs) bio-functionalization with antibodies, peptides or aptamers have played significant role in cancer diagnosis and targeted cancer therapy. Herein, a biosensor for detection of cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in blood serum has been designed using CDs bio-functionalized with HRP-conjugated CEA antibody (CUCDs@CEAAb2) as detection probe. CDs were synthesized by upscaling of cow urine, a nitrogen rich biomass waste, by hydrothermal method. Detection probe based on CDs resulted in 3.5 times higher sensitivity as compared to conventional electrochemical sandwich immunoassay. To further improve the sensor performance, hyper-branched polyethylenimine grafted poly amino aniline (PEI-g-PAANI) was used as the sensing interface, which enabled immobilization of higher amount of capture antibody. Detection of CEA in human blood serum coupled with wide linear range (0.5-50 ng/ml), good specificity, stability, reproducibility and low detection limit (10 pg/ml) signified the excellence of CUCDs based CEA immunosensor. CUCDs exhibited excitation wavelength dependent fluorescence property and showed strong blue emission under UV irradiation. MTT assay indicated that the material is not toxic towards human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and MG63 osteosarcoma cells (cell viability > 90%). The present study demonstrates a methodology for valorization of animal waste to a cost-effective carbon based functional nanomaterial for clinical detection of cancer biomarkers.

Abstract
To detect a range of trace biomarkers associated with human diseases, researchers have been focusing on developing biosensors that possess high sensitivity and specificity. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors have emerged as a prominent research tool in recent years, owing to their potential superiority in low background signal, high sensitivity, straightforward instrumentation, and ease of operation. Functional nanomaterials (FNMs) exhibit distinct advantages in optimizing electrical conductivity, increasing reaction rate, and expanding specific surface area due to their small size effect, quantum size effect, and surface and interface effects, which can significantly improve the stability, reproducibility, and sensitivity of the biosensors. Thereby, various nanomaterials (NMs) with excellent properties have been developed to construct efficient ECL biosensors. This review provides a detailed summary and discussion of FNMs-based ECL biosensors and their applications in cancer biomarkers detection.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show excellent catalytic activity and have been widely applied in diagnosis of diseases and tumors. However, current assay methods usually involve cumbersome configurations and complicated procedures, which inhibit their practical applications. Hence, a Cu-Ni MOF/carbon printed electrode (CPE)-based integrated electrochemical immunosensor was constructed for highly sensitive and efficient determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). First, highly conductive carbon ink was screen-printed onto a polyethylene terephthalate substrate to manufacture a CPE. Afterward, an aminated Cu-Ni MOF was prepared by a typical solvothermal strategy and modified on the CPE. Owing to its excellent peroxidase activity, the Cu-Ni MOF can catalytically oxidize hydroquinone using hydrogen peroxide, which greatly amplifies the peak current signal. Then the formation of an immune complex inhibited the catalytic activity of the MOF, thus enabling the quantitative determination of CEA content with a wide linear range of 0.5 pg mL-1-500 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 0.16 pg mL-1. Furthermore, the Cu-Ni MOF/CPE-based integrated portable electrochemical immunosensor also showed satisfactory performance in the detection of CEA in clinical serum samples with excellent accuracy, showing great potential for application in point-of-care disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunosensors demonstrate high sensitivity toward biomarker detection due to the large surface area of the nanoparticles and their ability to amplify the signal of the target molecule. Additionally, they have a fast response time, relatively lower cost, and can be easily miniaturized for point-of-care applications. Among noble metals, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively used in electrochemical sensors due to their unique properties, such as catalytic activity and excellent electrical conductivity. This Feature Article describes six approaches for incorporating AgNPs in electrochemical platforms, featuring the most recent developments in the silver-gold galvanic exchange-based detection strategy. With a few exceptions, many of these detection methods use AgNP oxidation into Ag+ ions, followed by electrodeposition of Ag+ ions onto the working electrode as zero-valent Ag metal and a final stripping step using a voltammetric technique. Combining these steps provides desirable low detection limits and good sensitivity for various biomarkers. A few other methods involved the reduction of Ag+ ions and depositing them as Ag metal onto the electrode using a reagent mixture so that the striping analysis could be performed. Typically, this reagent mixture includes Ag+ ions, a reducing agent, or an enzyme substrate. Besides, AgNPs have also been directly used to modify the surface of electrodes to facilitate kinetically favored redox-mediated electrochemical reactions. In addition to Ag detection methods, this report will also provide recent examples to illustrate how the size and shape of AgNPs impact the detection limits and sensitivity of an electrochemical assay. Finally, we discuss recent developments in lab-on-a-chip type immunosensors designed explicitly for Ag-based metalloimmunoassay detection, and we envision that this article will provide a comprehensive summary of the operational principles and new insights into such immunoassay systems.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive determination of tumor marker (TM) is of great significance in cancer prevention and diagnosis. Traditional TM detection methods involve large instrumentation and professional manipulation, which complicate the assay procedures and increase the cost of investment. To resolve these problems, an integrated electrochemical immunosensor based on the flexible polydimethylsiloxane/gold (PDMS/Au) film with Fe-Co metal-organic framework (Fe-Co MOF) as a signal amplifier was fabricated for ultrasensitive determination of alpha fetoprotein (AFP). First, gold layer was deposited on the hydrophilic PDMS film to form the flexible three-electrode system, and then the thiolated aptamer for AFP was immobilized. Afterward, the aminated Fe-Co MOF possessing high peroxidase-like activity and large specific surface area was prepared by a facile solvothermal method, and subsequently the biofunctionalized MOF could effectively capture biotin antibody (Ab) to form MOF-Ab as a signal probe and amplify the electrochemical signal remarkably, thereby realizing highly sensitive detection of AFP with a wide linear range of 0.01-300 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.71 pg/mL. In addition, the PDMS based-immunosensor showed good accuracy for assaying of AFP in clinical serum samples. The integrated and flexible electrochemical immunosensor based on the Fe-Co MOF as a signal amplifier demonstrates great potential for application in the personalized point-of-care (POC) clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Cancer, which presents with high incidence and mortality rates, has become a significant health threat worldwide. However, there is currently no effective solution for rapid screening and high-quality treatment of early-stage cancer patients. Metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs), as a new type of compound with stable properties, convenient synthesis, high efficiency, and few adverse reactions, have become highly competitive tools for early cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, challenges such as the difference between the microenvironment of detected markers and the real-life body fluids remain in achieving widespread clinical application of MNPs. This review provides a comprehensive review of the research progress made in the field of in vitro cancer diagnosis using metal-based nanoparticles. By delving into the characteristics and advantages of these materials, this paper aims to inspire and guide researchers towards fully exploiting the potential of metal-based nanoparticles in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor based on iron tetroxide (Fe3O4)/carboxylated carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH)/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was designed for the detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which is often used as an important indicator for the early clinical diagnosis of liver cancer markers. The Fe3O4/MWCNTs-COOH nanocomposite was synthesized by a solvothermal method and it combined with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) deposited at the constant potential on a glassy carbon electrode to form Fe3O4/MWCNTs-COOH/AuNPs, which intensifies the electrical signal while the large active sites enable more stable immobilization of the AFP monoclonal antibodies on the electrode. The electrochemical performance of Fe3O4/MWCNTs-COOH/AuNPs was investigated in detail and the electrochemical response signal after the immune reaction with the AFP antigen-antibody was recorded. The peak current Ip of the response signal is linearly proportional to the lgcAFP in the range of 1 pg mL-1-10 μg mL-1, with a detection limit of 1.09034 pg mL-1 and good performance in clinical sample testing. The proposed sensor has shown great application and development potential in clinical medicine field.

Abstract
Excessive residues of semicarbazide (SEM) can accumulate in animals after the original drug has been abused, posing a risk to human health. Herein, based on multifunctional silica-initiated dual mode signal response, a novel competitive-type immunosensor was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of SEM. As a preliminary signal amplification platform for immunosensors, polyethyleneimine reduced graphene oxide composite gold nanorods (PEI-rGO/AuNRs) modified gold electrodes (AuE) provide a high specific surface area and high electrical conductivity. The thionine-aminated silica nanospheres-AuPt (thi-SiO2@AuPt) were synthesized by a racile coprecipitation method for enzyme immobilization and redox species loading. The multifunctional silica nanosphere conjugated with labeling antibodies (Ab2) was employed as an immunoprobe. The per unit concentration target of SEM can be determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) to detect the thi loaded on the immunoprobe, which can also be determined by square wave voltammetry (SWV) to detect the current generated by the reaction system of H2O2 and hydroquinone (HQ) catalyzed by the immunoprobe with peroxidase. Under optimal conditions, the proposed immunosensor displayed a wide linear range from 1 μg-0.01 ng/mL and low detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.488 pg/mL and 0.0157 ng/mL, respectively. Ultimately, the developed method exhibits excellent performance in practical applications, providing promising probabilities for SEM detection.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The serum levels of a group of cardiac biomarkers have been regarded as important indicators in the routine diagnosis of AMI. The development of rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection methods of AMI biomarkers is urgently needed for the early diagnosis of AMI. Here, a dynamic and pseudo-homogeneous enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was reported based on the combined use of bioconjugated magnetic nanochains (MNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) probes. The capture antibodies-conjugated MNCs served as dynamic nano-mixers to facilitate liquid mixing and as homogeneously dispersed capturing agents to capture and separate specific targets. The AuNPs probes were prepared by co-immobilization of detection antibodies and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for signals amplification. The design of bioconjugated MNCs and AuNPs probes significantly increased the assay kinetics and improves the assay sensitivity. This novel ELISA strategy realized accurate detection of a panel of AMI biomarkers within 35 min, leading to considerably improved sensitivities compared to that of conventional ELISA method.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with one of the highest rates of mortality among cancers worldwide. The early detection and management of CRC is imperative. Biomarkers play an important role in CRC screening tests, CRC treatment, and prognosis and clinical management; thus rapid and sensitive detection of biomarkers is helpful for early detection of CRC. In recent years, electrochemical biosensors for detecting CRC biomarkers have been widely investigated. In this review, different electrochemical detection methods for CRC biomarkers including immunosensors, aptasensors, and genosensors are summarized. Further, representative examples are provided that demonstrate the advantages of electrochemical sensors modified by various nanomaterials. Finally, the limitations and prospects of biomarkers and electrochemical sensors in detection are also discussed. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
In this research article, a novel and simple label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor using cerium stannite (Ce2Sn2O7) nanocubes as brand-new ECL emitters has been suggested for the first time. Ce2Sn2O7 nanocubes prepared by a simple hydrothermal method displayed bright ECL emission, promising biocompatibility, low noxiousness, and perfect stability. On comparison of ECL and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, a surface-state mechanism was proposed to be involved in the ECL emission. After aminofunctionalization with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), Ce2Sn2O7 could be decorated with gold nanoparticles through Au-NH2 covalent linkage, which yielded Au@Ce2Sn2O7 nanocomposites and further enhanced the ECL emission. To confirm the proposed immunosensor feasibility, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was employed as an exemplary analyte. Based on the abovementioned points, our fabricated immunosensor improved the ECL performance to CEA concentrations in a linear range of 0.001-70 ng/mL with a low limit of detection of 0.53 pg/mL (S/N = 3). With outstanding stability, reproducibility, and specificity, this method is expected to be an innovative one for sensitive analyses of CEA and other biomarkers in real samples.

Abstract
Using gold and magnetic nanoparticles co-decorated reduced graphene oxide-tetraethylenepentamine (rGO-TEPA/Au-MNPs) as the magnetic platform for capturing the primary antibody (Ab1), separation and preconcentration of immunocomplex, a novel homogeneous electrochemical immunosensor was successfully developed. The newly prepared magnetic rGO-TEPA/Au-MNPs, compared with MNPs, exhibited better stability and enhanced electrical conductivity attributed to rGO-TEPA, and showed higher biorecognition efficiency due to AuNPs. In addition, Au@PtNPs were prepared and modified with secondary antibody (Ab2) as an efficient signal probe for signal readout. Using carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a model analyte, the prepared immunosensor demonstrated satisfactory properties like high stability, good repeatability and selectivity, wide linear range (5.0 pg mL-1~200.0 ng mL-1) as well as low detection limit (1.42 pg mL-1). The homogenous electrochemical immunosensor was applied to the detection of CEA in human serum and was found to exhibit good correlation with the reference method. Thus, the proposed rGO-TEPA/Au-MNPs-based homogenous immunoassay platform might open up a new way for biomarker diagnosis. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
In recent years, advances in immunosensor device fabrication have significantly expanded the use of this technology in a broad range of applications including clinical diagnosis, food analysis, quality control, environmental studies and industrial monitoring. The most important aspect in fabrication is to obtain a design that provides a low detection limit. The utilization of nanomaterials as a label, catalyst and biosensing transducer is, perhaps, the most popular approach in ultrasensitive devices. This chapter reviews recent advances in immunosensor fabrication and summarizes the most recent studies. Strategies employed to significantly improve sensitivity and specificity of immunosensor technology and the advantages and limitations thereof are explored.

Abstract
A new type of nanocomposite composed of carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs-COOH), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), bovine serum albumin-Ag hybride (Ag@BSA), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was fabricated to develop an ultrasensitive electrochemical platform for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a model of biomarkers. Two steps are involved for the fabrication of the organic/inorganic nanocomposites. The Ag@BSA nanoflowers were first synthesized to be doped with CNTs-COOH and rGO followed by the adsorption of PEDOT resulting in CNTs-COOH/rGO/Ag@BSA/PEDOT. The as-prepared nanocomposites were then deposited onto an Au electrode together with subsequent immobilization of CEA antibody (anti-CEA) to construct the electrochemical immunosensor. This unique structure and composition of the developed immunosensor can expect an excellent electrochemical response. The immunosensor offers a linear relationship between the electrochemical responses and the CEA concentrations from 0.002 to 50 ng∙mL-1 with a detection limit of 1 × 10-4 ng∙mL-1. Moreover, the ultrasensitive immunoassay can detect CEA in real human serum samples, and the results are comparable to those obtained from the commercial ELISA. Therefore, this strategy can monitor diseases, offer clinical diagnosis, and may be valuable for the development of new biomedical devices.
