Abstract
Array based sensing governed by optical methods provides fast and economic way for detection of wide variety of analytes where the ideality of detection processes depends on the sensor element's versatile mode of interaction with multiple analytes in an unbiased manner. This can be achieved by either the receptor unit having multiple recognition moiety, or their surface property should possess tuning ability upon fabrication called surface engineering. Nanomaterials have a high surface to volume ratio, making them viable candidates for molecule recognition through surface adsorption phenomena, which makes it ideal to meet the above requirements. Most crucially, by engineering a nanomaterial's surface, one may produce cross-reactive responses for a variety of analytes while focusing solely on a single nanomaterial. Depending on the nature of receptor elements, in the last decade the array-based sensing has been considering as multimodal detection platform which operates through various pathway including single channel, multichannel, binding and indicator displacement assay, sequential ON-OFF sensing, enzyme amplified and nanozyme based sensing etc. In this review we will deliver the working principle for Array-based sensing by using various nanomaterials like nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanodots and self-assembled nanomaterials and their surface functionality for suitable molecular recognition.

Abstract
The discrimination and recognition of biological targets, such as proteins, cells, and bacteria, are of utmost importance in various fields of biological research and production. These include areas like biological medicine, clinical diagnosis, and microbiology analysis. In order to efficiently and cost-effectively identify a specific target from a wide range of possibilities, researchers have developed a technique called differential sensing. Unlike traditional "lock-and-key" sensors that rely on specific interactions between receptors and analytes, differential sensing makes use of cross-reactive receptors. These sensors offer less specificity but can cross-react with a wide range of analytes to produce a large amount of data. Many pattern recognition strategies have been developed and have shown promising results in identifying complex analytes. To create advanced sensor arrays for higher analysis efficiency and larger recognizing range, various nanomaterials have been utilized as sensing probes. These nanomaterials possess distinct molecular affinities, optical/electrical properties, and biological compatibility, and are conveniently functionalized. In this review, our focus is on recently reported optical sensor arrays that utilize nanomaterials to discriminate bioanalytes, including proteins, cells, and bacteria.

Abstract
The latest advancements in oncology involves the creation of multifunctional nanostructures. The integration of nanoparticles into the realm of cancer therapy has brought about a transformative shift, revolutionizing the approach to addressing existing challenges and limitations in tumor elimination. This is particularly crucial in combating the emergence of resistance, which has significantly undermined the effectiveness of treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. GO stands as a carbon-derived nanoparticle that is increasingly finding utility across diverse domains, notably in the realm of biomedicine. The utilization of GO nanostructures holds promise in the arena of oncology, enabling precise transportation of drugs and genetic material to targeted sites. GO nanomaterials offer the opportunity to enhance the pharmacokinetic behavior and bioavailability of drugs, with documented instances of these nanocarriers elevating drug accumulation at the tumor location. The GO nanostructures encapsulate genes, shielding them from degradation and facilitating their uptake within cancer cells, thereby promoting efficient gene silencing. The capability of GO to facilitate phototherapy has led to notable advancements in reducing tumor progression. By PDT and PTT combination, GO nanomaterials hold the capacity to diminish tumorigenesis. GO nanomaterials have the potential to trigger both cellular and innate immunity, making them promising contenders for vaccine development. Additionally, types of GO nanoparticles that respond to specific stimuli have been applied in cancer eradication, as well as for the purpose of cancer detection and biomarker diagnosis. Endocytosis serves as the mechanism through which GO nanomaterials are internalized. Given these advantages, the utilization of GO nanomaterials for tumor elimination comes highly recommended.

Abstract
The traditional sensors are designed based on the "lock-and-key" strategy with high selectivity and specificity for detecting specific analytes, which however are not suitable for detecting multiple analytes simultaneously. With the help of pattern recognition technologies, the sensor arrays excel in distinguishing subtle changes caused by multitarget analytes with similar structures in a complex system. To construct a sensor array, the multiple sensing elements are undoubtedly indispensable units that will selectively interact with targets to generate the unique "fingerprints" based on the distinct responses, enabling the identification among various analytes through pattern recognition methods. This comprehensive review mainly focuses on the construction strategies and principles of sensing elements, as well as the applications of sensor array for identification and detection of target analytes in a wide range of fields. Furthermore, the present challenges and further perspectives of sensor arrays are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Aβ oligomers have been widely accepted as significant biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection, monitoring, and therapy since they are highly correlated with AD development. In this work, an electrochemical array-based sensing platform was successfully built using a group of functionalized graphene with different physicochemical features. Since the electro-insulated Aβ peptide species severely interfered with the electron transport on the electrode surface, the presence of Aβ led to a significant change in the electrochemical impedance signal. The resulting variety of the impedance was then classified and processed by linear discriminant analysis. The constructed sensing platform can discriminate different Aβ forms, the mixture of various Aβ forms, and different ratios of Aβ42 to Aβ40 with 100% accuracy by only the combination of dual probes. Furthermore, it also exhibited excellent performance for screening Aβ inhibitors and metal chelators. The strategy utilizes the infinitesimal general discrepancy instead of specific biomarker recognition, exhibiting the advantage of no requirement to know the exact information about the specific ligand and receptor in advance, which is promising to be widened for the other biosensing detection fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of advanced treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the utmost need of an era. TNBC is recognized as the most aggressive, metastatic cancer and the leading cause of mortality in females worldwide. The lack of expression of triple receptors namely, estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal receptor2 defined TNBC. OBJECTIVE The current review introduced the novel biomarkers such as miRNA and family, PD1, EGFR, VEGF, TILs, P53, AR and PI3K, etc. contributed significantly to the prognosis and diagnosis of TNBC. Once diagnosed the utilization advanced approaches available for TNBC because of the limitations of chemotherapy. Novel approaches include lipid-based (liposomes, SLN, NLC, and SNEDDS), polymer-based (micelle, nanoparticles, dendrimers, and quantum dots), advanced nanocarriers such as (exosomes, antibody and peptide-drug conjugates), carbon-based nanocarriers (Carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide). Lipid-based delivery is used for excellent carriers for hydrophobic drugs, biocompatibility, and lesser systemic toxicities than chemotherapeutic agents. Polymer-based approaches are preferred over lipids for providing longer circulation time, nanosize, high loading efficiency, high linking; avoiding the expulsion of drugs, targeted action, diagnostic and biosensing abilities. Advanced approaches like exosomes, conjugated moieties are preferred over polymeric for possessing potency, high penetrability, biomarkers, and avoiding the toxicity of tissues. Carbon-based gained wide applicability for their unique properties like a versatile carrier, prognostic, diagnostic, sensing, photodynamic, and photothermal characteristics. CONCLUSION The survival rate can be increased by utilizing several kinds of biomarkers. The advanced approaches can also be significantly useful in the prognosis and theranostic of triple-negative breast cancer. One of the biggest successes in treating with nanotechnology-based approaches is the marked reduction of systemic toxicity with high therapeutic effectiveness compared with chemotherapy, surgery, etc. The requirements such as prompt diagnosis, longer circulation time, high efficiency, and high potency, can be fulfilled with these nanocarriers.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women population on a global scale, with a huge number of new cases and deaths each year. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of literatures on the discovery and development of novel anti-breast cancer drugs and materials, aiming to increase the survival rate of breast cancer patients. One of the newest tools used for the therapy of breast cancer is graphene-based materials, which have ultra-high surface area as well as unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. It is reported that graphene-based materials could induce apoptosis in cancer cells while showing low toxicity due to their carbon structure. Therefore, they can be used as nano-drugs or biological carriers to introduce small molecules such as nucleic acids, drugs, or photosensitizers into the human body to achieve treatment goals. This article introduces the synthetic methods for graphene-based materials, as well as the current status and the future prospects of graphene-based materials' application in the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Fast and reliable identification of infectious disease agents is among the most important challenges for the healthcare system. The discrimination of individual components of mixed infections represents a particularly difficult task. In the current study we further expand the functionality of a ratiometric sensor array technology based on small-molecule environmentally-sensitive organic dyes, which can be successfully applied for the analysis of mixed bacterial samples. Using pattern recognition methods and data from pure bacterial species, we demonstrate that this approach can be used to quantify the composition of mixtures, as well as to predict their components with the accuracy of ~80% without the need to acquire additional reference data. The described approach significantly expands the functionality of sensor arrays and provides important insights into data processing for the analysis of other complex samples.

Abstract
Mimicking sensory principles encountered in animals, whereby numerous tastants and odorants are identified based on "pattern"-like sensory inputs that are generated by arrays of sensory cells, allows creating a unique technique that is distinct from conventional chemical sensing systems, as the latter usually require specific recognition of target analytes. Herein, we present a highly discriminative small fluorescent array of block copolymers that can recognize various bioanalytes in a biomimicry manner. These polyethylene glycol/poly-l-lysine block copolymers are functionalized with fluorescein as a fluorescent reporter unit and hydrophobic amino acids as cross-reactive recognition units, which provides the ability to generate fluorescent response patterns unique to proteins and cells. Multivariate analysis on the patterns obtained with an array consisting of solely 3 block copolymers allowed identifying not only 20 proteins and 10 mammalian cells individually but also complex protein mixtures with slightly different compositions. This design guideline for creating a versatile biomimicry sensing system, which is based on the bifunctionalization of polymeric materials, is expected to offer a powerful platform for simple and high-throughput sensing of a wide variety of bioanalytes.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and also the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women globally. Strategies for early and precise detection of breast cancer cells are highly desired in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report on the efficient detection of HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer cells using an amplified signal scheme enabled by gold nanoclusters entrapped in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The utilization of MSNs as an excellent enzyme immobilization support and gold nanoclusters as an effective peroxidase mimic imparts high sensitivity to this detection platform. In addition, the inclusion of target-specific HER2 antibodies adds excellent selectivity. Determination of HER2+ cancer cells in breast cancer tissue demonstrates the potential application of this biosensor design in clinical diagnosis in particular, and bioanalysis in general.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with uniform sizes of less than 5 nm are synthesized by a novel top-down strategy. Nitric acid as a strong oxidant can be used to cut graphene oxide via sonication and hydrothermal processes. Moreover, purified GQDs are obtained from removing oxygen-containing functional groups in a heat treatment process. Both nanoscale size and edge effect of GQDs improve their abundant active sites and restrain the restack of graphene nanosheets. Meanwhile, their electrochemical performance demonstrates the properties of the GQDs for practical application in energy storage. The GQD electrode material shows an ideal electric double-layer capacitance behavior such as a high specific capacitance of 296.7 F g-1, a satisfactory energy density of 41.2 W h kg-1 at 1 A g-1, a low internal resistance, a small relaxation time, and an excellent cycling stability. The results illustrate excellent electrochemical activity, high conductivity, and enhanced ion transport rate on the surface of electrolyte and electrode. The advantages of GQDs confirm their unique characteristics for potential applications in the field of electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Wearable electronics is expected to be one of the most active research areas in the next decade; therefore, nanomaterials possessing high carrier mobility, optical transparency, mechanical robustness and flexibility, lightweight, and environmental stability will be in immense demand. Graphene is one of the nanomaterials that fulfill all these requirements, along with other inherently unique properties and convenience to fabricate into different morphological nanostructures, from atomically thin single layers to nanoribbons. Graphene-based materials have also been investigated in sensor technologies, from chemical sensing to detection of cancer biomarkers. The progress of graphene-based flexible gas and chemical sensors in terms of material preparation, sensor fabrication, and their performance are reviewed here. The article provides a brief introduction to graphene-based materials and their potential applications in flexible and stretchable wearable electronic devices. The role of graphene in fabricating flexible gas sensors for the detection of various hazardous gases, including nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen (H2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and humidity in wearable technology, is discussed. In addition, applications of graphene-based materials are also summarized in detecting toxic heavy metal ions (Cd, Hg, Pb, Cr, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including nitrobenzene, toluene, acetone, formaldehyde, amines, phenols, bisphenol A (BPA), explosives, chemical warfare agents, and environmental pollutants. The sensitivity, selectivity and strategies for excluding interferents are also discussed for graphene-based gas and chemical sensors. The challenges for developing future generation of flexible and stretchable sensors for wearable technology that would be usable for the Internet of Things (IoT) are also highlighted.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Successful development of sensitive nanoprobes for breast cancer cell detection is of great importance for breast cancer diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. Herein, inspired by the intrinsic peroxidase property of gold nanoclusters, high loading, and targeting ability of ErbB2/Her2 antibody functionalized liposomes, we report that gold nanoclusters-loaded, target-directed, functionalized liposomes can serve as a robust sensing platform for amplified colorimetric detection of HER2-positive breast cancer cells. This approach allows HER2-positive breast cancer cell identification at high sensitivity with high selectivity. In addition, the colorimetric “readout” offers extra advantages in terms of low-cost, portability, and easy-to-use applications. The practicality of this platform was further proved by successful detection of HER2-positive breast cancer cells in human serum samples and in breast cancer tissue, which indicated our proposed method has potential for application in cancer theranostics.
