Abstract
Neurotransmitters (NTs) are molecules produced by neurons that act as the body's chemical messengers. Their abnormal levels in the human system have been associated with many disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, which makes the monitoring of NTs fundamentally important. Specifically for clinical analysis and understanding of brain behavior, simultaneous detection of NTs at low levels quickly and reliably is imperative for disease prevention and early diagnosis. However, the methods currently employed are usually invasive or inappropriate for multiple NTs detection. Herein, we developed a MXene-based impedimetric electronic tongue (e-tongue) for sensitive NT monitoring, using Nb2C, Nb4C3, Mo2C, and Mo2Ti2C3 MXenes as sensing units of the e-tongue, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as the data treatment method. The high specific surface area, distinct electrical properties, and chemical stability of the MXenes gave rise to high sensitivity and good reproducibility of the sensor array toward NT detection. Specifically, the e-tongue detected and differentiated multiple NTs (acetylcholine, dopamine, glycine, glutamate, histamine, and tyrosine) at concentrations as low as 1 nmol L-1 and quantified NTs present in a mixture. Besides, analyses performed with interferents and actual samples confirmed the system's potential to be used in clinical diagnostics. The results demonstrate that the MXene-based e-tongue is a suitable, rapid, and simple method for NT monitoring with high accuracy and sensitivity.

Abstract
Theranostic sutures are derived from innovative ideas to enhance wound healing results by adding wound diagnostics and therapeutics to typical sutures by functionalizing them with additional materials. Here, we present a new direct electrospinning method for the fast, continuous, inexpensive, and high-throughput production of versatile nanofibrous-coated suture threads, with precise control over various essential microstructural and physical characteristics. The thickness of the coating layer and the alignment of nanofibers with the thread's direction can be adjusted by the user by varying the spooling speed and the displacement between the spinneret needle and thread. To show the flexibility of our method for a range of different materials selected, gelatin, polycaprolactone, silk fibroin, and PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)) were the resultant nanofibers characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and conductivity tests. In a series of in vitro and ex vivo tests (pig skin), sutures were successfully tested for their flexibility and mechanical properties when used as weaving and knotting sutures, and their biocompatibility with a keratinocyte cell line. For temperature-based drug-releasing tests, two fluorescent molecules as drug models with high and low molecular weight, namely fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (20 kDa) and rhodamine B (470 Da), were used, and their steady release with incremental increase of temperature to 37 °C over 120 min was seen, which is appropriate for bacterial treatment drugs. Given the advantages of the presented technique, it seems to have promising potential to be used in future medical applications for wound closure and bacterial infection treatment via a temperature-triggered drug release strategy.

Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh) plays a pivotal role as a neurotransmitter, influencing nerve cell communication and overall nervous system health. Imbalances in ACh levels are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. This study focused on developing electrochemical sensors for ACh detection, utilizing graphene oxide (GO) and a composite of reduced graphene oxide and zinc oxide (rGO/ZnO). The synthesis involved modified Hummers' and hydrothermal methods, unveiling the formation of rGO through deoxygenation and the integration of nano-sized ZnO particles onto rGO, as demonstrated by XPS and TEM. EIS analysis also revealed the enhancement of electron transfer efficiency in rGO/ZnO. Cyclic voltammograms of the electrode, comprising the rGO/ZnO composite in ACh solutions, demonstrated prominent oxidation and reduction reactions. Notably, the composite exhibited promise for ACh detection due to its sensitivity, low detection threshold, reusability, and selectivity against interfering compounds, specifically glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid. The unique properties of rGO, such as high specific surface area and electron mobility, coupled with ZnO's stability and catalytic efficiency, contributed to the composite's potential in electrochemical sensor applications. This research, emphasizing the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of the rGO/ZnO composite, established itself as a reliable platform for detecting the acetylcholine neurotransmitter.

Abstract
In the spinal cord, glutamate serves as the primary excitatory neurotransmitter. Monitoring spinal glutamate concentrations offers valuable insights into spinal neural processing. Consequently, spinal glutamate concentration has the potential to emerge as a useful biomarker for conditions characterized by increased spinal neural network activity, especially when uptake systems become dysfunctional. In this study, we developed a multichannel custom-made flexible glutamate-sensing probe for the large-animal model that is capable of measuring extracellular glutamate concentrations in real time and in vivo. We assessed the probe's sensitivity and specificity through in vitro and ex vivo experiments. Remarkably, this developed probe demonstrates nearly instantaneous glutamate detection and allows continuous monitoring of glutamate concentrations. Furthermore, we evaluated the mechanical and sensing performance of the probe in vivo, within the pig spinal cord. Moreover, we applied the glutamate-sensing method using the flexible probe in the context of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. During I/R injury, cardiac sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion transmit excitatory signals to the spinal cord, resulting in sympathetic activation that potentially leads to fatal arrhythmias. We have successfully shown that our developed glutamate-sensing method can detect this spinal network excitation during myocardial ischemia. This study illustrates a novel technique for measuring spinal glutamate at different spinal cord levels as a surrogate for the spinal neural network activity during cardiac interventions that engage the cardio-spinal neural pathway.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we have developed a new flexible sensing probe to perform an in vivo measurement of spinal glutamate signaling in a large animal model. Our initial investigations involved precise testing of this probe in both in vitro and ex vivo environments. We accurately assessed the sensitivity and specificity of our glutamate-sensing probe and demonstrated its performance. We also evaluated the performance of our developed flexible probe during the insertion and compared it with the stiff probe during animal movement. Subsequently, we used this innovative technique to monitor the spinal glutamate signaling during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion that can cause fatal ventricular arrhythmias. We showed that glutamate concentration increases during the myocardial ischemia, persists during the reperfusion, and is associated with sympathoexcitation and increases in myocardial substrate excitability.

Abstract
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), as a by-product of chlorination disinfection, is a highly carcinogenic chemical. Due to the widespread use of chlorination disinfection, it is critical to detect TCA in drinking water to decrease the incidence of disease. In this work, we developed an efficient TCA biosensor via electroenzymatic synergistic catalysis. The porous carbon nanobowls (PCNB) are prepared and wrapped by an amyloid like proteins formed by phase-transitioned lysozyme (PTL-PCNB), then, chloroperoxidase (CPO) is abounding to PTL-PCNB owing to its strong adhesion. The ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (ILEMB) is co-immobilized on PTL-PCNB to from CPO-ILEMB@PTL-PCNB nanocomposite to assist the direct electron transfer (DET) of CPO. The PCNB plays two roles here. In addition, to increasing the conductivity, it serves as an ideal support for holding CPO; The CPO-ILEMB@PTL-PCNB nanocomposite modified electrode presents high efficiency for sensing TCA. Through electroenzymatic synergistic catalysis, a wide detection range of 33 μmol L-1 to 98 mmol L-1 can be achieved with a low detection limit of 5.9 μmol L-1, and high stability, selectivity as well as reproducibility, which ensures its potential practical applicability. This work provides a new platform for the electro-enzyme synergistic catalysis in one pot.

Abstract
Nanotechnology presents an innovative strategy to combat the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria and their resistance genes throughout different ecosystems. To address this challenge, nanoparticles (silver, gold, zinc and copper) alone or in combination with metallo-β-lactamase inhibitor/antimicrobial-based formulation (EDTA/HLE) showed antimicrobial activity against antibiotic resistant Enterococcus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. strains. Furthermore, the observed synergistic effect was detected notably for silver, zinc or copper nanoparticles with EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and silver nanoparticles with HLE against planktonic Enterococcus sp. strains, or gold nanoparticles+EDTA or HLE against Pseudomonas sp. Regarding activity against bacterial biofilms, zinc nanoparticles combined with either of the reagents caused strong inhibition of developing biofilms of antibiotic resistant Enterococcus sp. Pseudomonas sp. strains, while preformed biofilms were mainly inhibited by silver nanoparticles+reagent. Microscopic analyses confirmed that the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles was caused by adsorption to the bacterial cell surface, and further enhanced by chelating agents. Hence, we can conclude that nanoparticles+EDTA or HLE could represent a good alternative to limit the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the food chain and the environment.

Abstract
The development of green synthesized polymeric nanoparticles with anticancer studies has been an emerging field in academia and the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Vegetable oils are potential substitutes for petroleum derivatives, as they present a clean and environmentally friendly alternative and are available in abundance at relatively low prices. Biomass-derived chemicals can be converted into monomers with a unique structure, generating materials with new properties for the synthesis of sustainable monomers and polymers. The production of bio-based polymeric nanoparticles is a promising application of green chemistry for biomedical uses. There is an increasing demand for biocompatible and biodegradable materials for specific applications in the biomedical area, such as cancer therapy. This is encouraging scientists to work on research toward designing polymers with enhanced properties and clean processes, containing oncology active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The nanoencapsulation of these APIs in bio-based polymeric nanoparticles can control the release of the substances, increase bioavailability, reduce problems of volatility and degradation, reduce side effects, and increase treatment efficiency. This review discusses the use of green chemistry for bio-based nanoparticle production and its application in anticancer medicine. The use of castor oil for the production of renewable monomers and polymers is proposed as an ideal candidate for such applications, as well as more suitable methods for the production of bio-based nanoparticles and some oncology APIs available for anticancer application.

Abstract
Whole blood, as one of the most significant biological fluids, provides critical information for health management and disease monitoring. Over the past 10 years, advances in nanotechnology, microfluidics, and biomarker research have spurred the development of powerful miniaturized diagnostic systems for whole blood testing toward the goal of disease monitoring and treatment. Among the techniques employed for whole-blood diagnostics, electrochemical biosensors, as known to be rapid, sensitive, capable of miniaturization, reagentless and washing free, become a class of emerging technology to achieve the target detection specifically and directly in complex media, e.g., whole blood or even in the living body. Here we are aiming to provide a comprehensive review to summarize advances over the past decade in the development of electrochemical sensors for whole blood analysis. Further, we address the remaining challenges and opportunities to integrate electrochemical sensing platforms.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor was fabricated using nanoparticles of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO)/Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs)/porous graphene oxide nanosheet (GONS) composite. A pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was used for the electrodeposition of nanocomposite and the determination of acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter. Various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used for characterization. This biosensor (AChENPs-ChONPs/GONS/PtNPs/PGE) indicated a very short response time (3 s), a lower limit of detection (0.001 µM), good linearity (0.001-200 µM), longer storage stability (6 months) and better reproducibility. The percent analytical recoveries of added acetylcholine in serum (5.0 and 10 µM) were found to be 97.6 ± 0.7 and 96.5 ± 0.3 for the present biosensor. The coefficients of variation were obtained to be 8% and 3.25%, correspondingly. The biosensor was applied to measure the ACh amount in the serum of healthy individuals and patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Sensing acetylcholine has been predominantly based on enzymatic strategies using acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase because of its electrochemical inertness. Electrified liquid-liquid interfaces are not limited to oxidation/reduction processes, and can be utilized to detect non-redox molecules which cannot be detected using conventional solid electrodes. In this study, a disposable micropipette tip based liquid-organogel interface, in the presence/absence of calixarene has been developed as a platform for sensing acetylcholine. We also explored a liquid-liquid interface approach for sensing acetylcholine using a pre-pulled glass micropipette. In both approaches, the configuration, i.e., liquid-organogel and liquid-liquid interface-current linearly increases during the backward transfer of acetylcholine. The simple and facilitated ion transfer of acetylcholine across the liquid-organogel exhibited a linear range of 10-50 μM and 1-30 μM with a detection limit of 0.18 μM and 0.23 μM and a sensitivity of 9.52 nA μM-1 and 9.20 nA μM-1, respectively. Whereas, the detection limit of simple and facilitated ion transfer of liquid-liquid interface using pre-pulled glass micropipette was found to be 0.42 μM and 0.13 μM with a sensitivity of 5 × 10-3 nA μM-1 and 3.39 × 10-2 nA μM-1. The results indicate that the liquid-organogel configuration supported on a disposable micropipette tip without any pre-fabrication is highly suitable for electrified soft interface sensing applications.

Abstract
Graphene (GR) has engrossed immense research attention as an emerging carbon material owing to its enthralling electrochemical (EC) and physical properties. Herein, we debate the role of GR-based nanomaterials (NMs) in refining EC sensing performance toward bioanalytes detection. Following the introduction, we briefly discuss the GR fabrication, properties, application as electrode materials, the principle of EC sensing system, and the importance of bioanalytes detection in early disease diagnosis. Along with the brief description of GR-derivatives, simulation, and doping, classification of GR-based EC sensors such as cancer biomarkers, neurotransmitters, DNA sensors, immunosensors, and various other bioanalytes detection is provided. The working mechanism of topical GR-based EC sensors, advantages, and real-time analysis of these along with details of analytical merit of figures for EC sensors are discussed. Last, we have concluded the review by providing some suggestions to overcome the existing downsides of GR-based sensors and future outlook. The advancement of electrochemistry, nanotechnology, and point-of-care (POC) devices could offer the next generation of precise, sensitive, and reliable EC sensors.

Development of Nanomaterial-Modified Impedimetric Aptasensor—A Single-Step Strategy for 3,4-Methylenedioxymethylamphetamine Detection. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12070538.

Abstract
Developing rapid, sensitive detection methods for 3,4-Methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA) is crucial to reduce its current misuse in the world population. With that aim, we developed an aptamer-modified tin nanoparticle (SnNP)-based nanoarchitecture as an electrochemical sensor in this study. This platform exhibited a high electron transfer rate with enhanced conductivity arising from its large surface area in comparison to the bare electrode. This observation was explained by the 40-fold higher electroactive surface area of SnNPs@Au, which provided a large space for 1.0 μM AptMDMA (0.68 ± 0.36 × 1012 molecule/cm2) immobilization and yielded a significant electrochemical response in the presence of MDMA. Furthermore, the AptMDMA-modified SnNPs@Au sensing platform proved to be a simple yet ultrasensitive analytical device for MDMA detection in spiked biological and water samples. This novel electrochemical aptasensor showed good linearity in the range of 0.01–1.0 nM for MDMA (R2 = 0.97) with a limit of detection of 0.33 nM and a sensitivity of 0.54 ohm/nM. In addition, the device showed high accuracy and stability along with signal recoveries in the range of 92–96.7% (Relative Standard Deviation, RSD, 1.1–2.18%). In conclusion, the proposed aptasensor developed here is the first to combine SnNPs and aptamers for illicit compound detection, and it offers a reliable platform for recreational drug detection.

Abstract
The metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable composition, modified structure, and morphologically controlled nanoarchitectures are quite imperative to improve the electrochemical (EC) performances of sensing platforms. Herein, EC control over the fabrication of HKUST-1 (Cu-MOFs) nanocrystals is achieved via anodic-induced electrodeposition approach following the mixing of Cu2+ salt precursor in the vicinity of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (BTC3-) ligands. The problem of controlled mass transfer and slow dispersal of MOFs is resolved by EC deposition of pyramidal-octagonal MOFs on a highly conductive and flexible carbon substrate (activated carbon cloth, ACC) wrapped with rGO layers (ACC-rGO@Cu(BTC). Further, α-MnO2 is integrated on ACC-rGO@Cu(BTC) to achieve the synergistic effect of ternary structure interfaces. The novel ACC-rGO@Cu(BTC)@MnO2 based flexible electrode exhibits striking EC performance toward non-enzymatic sensing of acetylcholine (ACh) including wide linear range (0.1 µM - 3 mM), lowest detection limit (5 nM, S/N = 3), high selectivity, and long-term stability. Moreover, the developed sensing system has been applied for real-time detection of ACh efflux released from three different cell lines and biological matrices. Our work unlocks a new prospect of precisely structured MOFs with extensive functionalities and scaled-up fabrication methods via selection of nanoscale reaction centers to develop flexible sensing devices.

Abstract
Neonatal sepsis is a prime cause of neonatal deaths across the globe. Presently, various medical tests and biodevices are available in neonatal care. These diagnosis platforms possess several limitations such as being highly expensive, time-consuming, or requiring skilled professionals for operation. These limitations can be overcome through biosensor development. This work discusses the assembling of an electrochemical sensing platform that is designed to detect the level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The sensing platform was moderated with nanomaterials molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2NSs) and silicon dioxide-modified iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2NPs). The integration of nanomaterials helps in accomplishing the improved characteristics of the biosensor in terms of conductivity, selectivity, and sensitivity. Further, the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) approach was incorporated for sensing the presence of TNF-α on the surface of the working electrode. The electrochemical response of the electrode was recorded at different conditions. A broad concentration range was selected to optimize the biosensor from 0.01 pM to 100 nM. The sensitivity of the biosensor was higher and it exhibits a lower detection limit (0.01 pM).

Abstract
Graphene, emerging as a true two-dimensional (2D) material, has attracted increasing attention due to its unique physical and electrochemical properties such as high surface area, excellent conductivity, high mechanical strength, and ease of functionalization and mass production. The entire scientific community recognizes the significance and potential impact of graphene. Electrochemical detection strategies have advantages such as being simple, fast, and low-cost. The use of graphene as an excellent interface for electrode modification provides a promising way to construct more sensitive and stable electrochemical (bio)sensors. The review presents sensors based on graphene and its derivatives for electrochemical drug assays from pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological samples. Future perspectives in this rapidly developing field are also discussed. In addition, the interaction of several important anticancer drug molecules with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that was immobilized onto graphene-modified electrodes has been detailed in terms of dosage regulation and utility purposes.

Abstract
Towards clarifying the spatio-temporal neurotransmitter distribution, potentiometric redox sensor arrays with 23.5-µm resolution were fabricated. The sensor array based on a charge-transfer-type potentiometric sensor comprises 128×128 pixels with gold electrodes deposited on the surface of pixels. The sensor output corresponding to the interfacial potential of the electrode changed logarithmically with the mixture ratio of K3Fe(CN)6 and K4Fe(CN)6, where the redox sensitivity reached 49.9 mV/dec. By employing hydrogen peroxidase as an enzyme and ferrocene as an electron mediator, the sensing characteristics for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were investigated. The analyses of the sensing characteristics revealed that the sensitivity was about 44.7 mV/dec., comparable to the redox sensitivity, while the limit of detection (LOD) was achieved to be 1 µM. Furthermore, the oxidation state of the electron mediator can be the key to further lowering the LOD. Then, by immobilizing oxidizing enzyme for H2O2 and glutamate oxidase, glutamate (Glu) measurements were conducted. As a result, similar sensitivity and LOD to those of H2O2 were obtained. Finally, the real-time distribution of 1 µM Glu was visualized, demonstrating the feasibility of our device as a high-resolution bioimaging technique.

Abstract
As essential neurological chemical messengers, neurotransmitters play an integral role in the maintenance of normal mammalian physiology. Aberrant neurotransmitter activity is associated with a range of neurological conditions including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. Many studies to date have tested different approaches to detecting neurotransmitters, yet the detection of these materials within the brain, due to the complex environment of the brain and the rapid metabolism of neurotransmitters, remains challenging and an area of active research. There is a clear need for the development of novel neurotransmitter sensing technologies capable of rapidly and sensitively monitoring specific analytes within the brain without adversely impacting the local microenvironment in which they are implanted. Owing to their excellent sensitivity, portability, ease-of-use, amenability to microprocessing, and low cost, electrochemical sensors methods have been widely studied in the context of neurotransmitter monitoring. The present review, thus, surveys current progress in this research field, discussing developed electrochemical neurotransmitter sensors capable of detecting dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), acetylcholine (Ach), glutamate (Glu), nitric oxide (NO), adenosine (ADO), and so on. Of these technologies, those based on carbon nanostructures-modified electrodes including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (GR), gaphdiyne (GDY), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), and derivatives thereof hold particular promise owing to their excellent biocompatibility and electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh), the major neurotransmitter secreted by cholinergic neurons, is widely found in the peripheral and central nervous systems, and its main function is to complete the transmission of neural signals. When cholinergic neurons are impaired, the synthesis and decomposition of ACh are abnormal and the neural signalling transition is blocked. To some extent, the concentration changes of ACh reflects the occurrence and development of many kinds of nervous system diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Myasthenia gravis and so on. Thus, researches of the physiological and pathological roles and the tracking of the concentration changes of ACh in vivo are significant to the prevention and treatment of these diseases. In the paper, the pathophysiological functions and the comprehensive research progress on detection methods of ACh are summarized. Specifically, the latest research and related applications of the optical and electrochemical biosensors are described, and the future development directions and challenges are prospected, which provides a reference for the detection and applications of ACh.

Abstract
A nitrogen-doped Fe-MOF shows a high specific surface area and excellent electrical conductivity after high temperature carbonization. A novel electrochemical sensor based on a N@Fe-MOF@C loaded dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (DTMIP) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was proposed for the rapid and ultra-sensitive simultaneous detection of clenbuterol hydrochloride (CLB) and ractopamine (RAC). N@Fe-MOF@C combined with a MIP significantly enhanced the electrical signal. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to detect CLB and RAC. The electrochemical polymerization was conducted with O-phenylenediamine as the functional monomer and CLB and RAC as template molecules. The factors affecting the sensor response were optimized. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the CV current response showed a linear range of 10-12-8 × 10-9 M for both CLB and RAC, and the detection limit (LOD) for both CLB and RAC was 3.03 × 10-13 M (S/N = 3). This electrochemical sensing system has high sensitivity, selectivity, excellent reproducibility, repeatability and stability. The recoveries of the actual samples (97.4%-101.2%) and reasonable relative standard deviations (RSDs) (1.06%-3.17%) indicate the practicability of the sensor system. The system has high application value in the rapid detection of CLB and RAC in clenbuterol hydrochloride tablets, human urine and raw pork.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder affecting mainly the population over 65 years of age. It is becoming a global health and socioeconomic problem, and the current number of patients reaching 30-50 million people will be three times higher over the next thirty years. OBJECTIVE Late diagnosis caused by decades of the asymptomatic phase and invasive and cost-demanding diagnosis are problems that make the whole situation worse. Electrochemical biosensors could be the right tool for less invasive and inexpensive early diagnosis helping to reduce spend sources- both money and time. METHOD This review is a survey of the latest advances in the design of electrochemical biosensors for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Biosensors are divided according to target biomarkers. CONCLUSION Standard laboratory methodology could be improved by analyzing a combination of currently estimated markers along with neurotransmitters and genetic markers from blood samples, which make the test for AD diagnosis available to the wide public.

Abstract
The use of graphene and its derivatives in the development of electrochemical sensors has been growing in recent decades. Part of this success is due to the excellent characteristics of such materials, such as good electrical and mechanical properties and a large specific surface area. The formation of composites and nanocomposites with these two materials leads to better sensing performance compared to pure graphene and conductive polymers. The increased large specific surface area of the nanocomposites and the synergistic effect between graphene and conducting polymers is responsible for this interesting result. The most widely used methodologies for the synthesis of these materials are still based on chemical routes. However, electrochemical routes have emerged and are gaining space, affording advantages such as low cost and the promising possibility of modulation of the structural characteristics of composites. As a result, application in sensor devices can lead to increased sensitivity and decreased analysis cost. Thus, this review presents the main aspects for the construction of nanomaterials based on graphene oxide and conducting polymers, as well as the recent efforts made to apply this methodology in the development of sensors and biosensors.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are described in the nanoscale and made from either pure metals or their compounds such as oxides. Metallic NPs have certain indistinct functional groups due to which these can bind with any type of ligand, antibody and drugs. Organic polymers, which conduct electricity, are called conducting polymers (intrinsically conducting polymers). They behave like semiconductors by exhibiting metallic conductivity. Process-ability is the major advantage of conducting polymers. Nanocomposite is a novel material having nano-fillers scattered in a matrix with morphology and interfacial characteristics of nano-composites including their individual property that influence their characteristics. Conducting polymers and NP composites can enhance the rate of electron transport between the current collector material (electrode) and the electrolyte; therefore they have been employed in the construction of improved electrochemical sensors such as amperometric, catalytic and potentiodynamic affinity sensors.

Abstract
It is essential to develop easy-to-use sensors towards a better monitoring of food additives so that human health can be positively influenced. A type of critical food additive that is widely used in making soft drinks and diverse foodstuff is called amaranth. This study aimed at presenting a novel Pd/GO nanomaterial-modified screen-printed electrode (Pd/GO/SPE), which is responsible for providing a sensing interface during the process of specifying the electrochemical features of amaranth. The morphology and structure of the Pd/GO nanomaterial was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. When the optimized conditions was adjusted, Pd/GO/SPE proved to be a capable sensor for conducting a very sensitive sensing towards the amaranth under a common working situation of 575 mV. In this regard, it was embarked on measuring some of the sensor features, including its sensitivity, linear dynamic range, and detection limit for amaranth with the values of 0.0948 μA μM-1, 0.08 μM-360.0 μM and 30.0 nM were obtained, respectively.

Abstract
The growing importance of nanomaterials toward the detection of neurotransmitter molecules has been chronicled in this review. Neurotransmitters (NTs) are chemicals that serve as messengers in synaptic transmission and are key players in brain functions. Abnormal levels of NTs are associated with numerous psychotic and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, their sensitive and robust detection is of great significance in clinical diagnostics. For more than three decades, electrochemical sensors have made a mark toward clinical detection of NTs. The superiority of these electrochemical sensors lies in their ability to enable sensitive, simple, rapid, and selective determination of analyte molecules while remaining relatively inexpensive. Additionally, these sensors are capable of being integrated in robust, portable, and miniaturized devices to establish point-of-care diagnostic platforms. Nanomaterials have emerged as promising materials with significant implications for electrochemical sensing due to their inherent capability to achieve high surface coverage, superior sensitivity, and rapid response in addition to simple device architecture and miniaturization. Considering the enormous significance of the levels of NTs in biological systems and the advances in sensing ushered in with the integration of nanotechnology in electrochemistry, the analysis of NTs by employing nanomaterials as interface materials in various matrices has emerged as an active area of research. This review explores the advancements made in the field of electrochemical sensors for the sensitive and selective determination of NTs which have been described in the past two decades with a distinctive focus on extremely innovative attributes introduced by nanotechnology.

Abstract
The gastric colonization of human hosts by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) increases the risk of developing gastritis, ulcers and gastric cancer. To detect H. pylori, a nanohybrid-based BabA immunosensor is developed herein. BabA is an outer membrane protein and one of the major virulence factors of H. pylori. To design the immunosensor, an Au electrode is loaded with palladium nanoparticles (Pdnano) by electrodeposition to generate reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The immobilization of these nanostructured materials imparts a large surface area and electroconductivity to bio-immune-sensing molecules (here, the BabA antigen and antibodies). After optimization, the fabricated immunosensor has the ability to detect antigens (H. pylori) in a linear range from 0.2 to 20 ng/mL with a low LOD (0.2 ng/mL). The developed immunosensor is highly specific, sensitive and reproducible. Additionally, in silico methods were employed to better understand the hybrid nanomaterials of the fabricated Pdnano/rGO/PEDOT/Au electrode. Simulations performed by molecular docking, and Metropolis Monte Carlo adsorption studies were conducted. The results revealed that the hybrid nanomaterials exhibit a stable antigen-antibody complex of BabA, yielding the lowest binding energy in relation to the electrode materials, emphasizing the functionality of the constructed electrodes in the electrochemical immunosensor.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a state of stress injury, which leads to the pathogenesis of most neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, this is also one of the main reasons for the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the abnormal content of dopamine (DA). In the past decades, a number of studies have found that acetaminophen (AP) is metabolized and distributed in the brain when it is used as a neuroprotective compound. In this context, we proposed an electrochemical sensor based on 9-(4-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole with the goal of diagnosing these two drugs in the body. Carbazole groups can easily be formed into large π-conjugated systems by electropolymerization. The introduction of anthracene exactly combined the carbazole group to establish an efficient electron donor-acceptor pattern, which enhanced π-π interaction with the electrode surface and charge transporting ability. The diagnostic platform showed good sensing activity toward the oxidation of DA and AP. The detection range for DA and AP is from 0.2 to 300 μM and from 0.2 to 400 μM, respectively. The simultaneous detection range is from 0.5 to 250 μM, which is wider than most reports. After a series of electrochemical assessments were determined, the sensor was finally developed to the analysis of pharmaceutical and human serum, displaying a meaningful potential in clinical evaluation.

Abstract
In this study, we utilized a carboxyalkylphosphonic acid covered fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) as an electrode material for fabrication of Interleukin 1α (IL-1α) immunosensor. For this aim, anti-IL-1α antibodies were attached on the 3-phosphonopropionic acid (PHP) modified FTO surface covalently. Electrochemical (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry) and morphological (scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy) characterizations were performed to monitor the successful fabrication of immunoelectrodes. After incubation of anti-IL-1α antibody immobilized FTO electrodes in IL-1α antigen solutions, increases were seen in impedimetric responses. IL-1α antigen was determined in a linear detection range from 0.02 to 2 pg/mL by EIS. The detection limit of the suggested immunosensor was 6 fg/mL. The applicability of the designed biosensor was tested by using human serum and saliva samples and acceptable results were obtained. In addition, high sensitivity, good specificity, low detection limit made the proposed immunosensor a potential technique for IL-1α antigen determination in routine clinical analysis.

Abstract
The malfunctioning in the release of acetylcholine (ACh+), leading to consequential damages in the neural system, has become an impulsion for the development of numerous progressive transport and detection gadgets. However, several challenges, such as laterality and complexity of transport devices, low precision of amperometric detection systems, and sumptuous, multistaged enzymatic quantification methods, have not yet been overcome. Herein, ionomers, because of their selective ion transporting nature, are chosen as suitable candidates for being implemented into both targeted ACh+ delivery and sensing systems. Based on these two approaches, for the very first time in the literature, the disulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) membrane is concurrently (i) used in the mimicry of transduction of the electrical-to-ionic signal in a neural network as "Acetylcholine Pen" (ACh+ Pen) and (ii) operated as a highly sensitive, conductivity-based ACh+ quantifier. Our dual device, being able to operate under an actual action potential of 55 mVbias, shows a strong potential of future applicability in real-time ionic delivery-and-sensing systems.

Abstract
The bioelectric signal deriving from acetylcholine (ACh) plays an important role in regulating body function. Translating neuronal signals to electrical current peaks is a promising approach to achieve rapid detection of the bioelectric signal, but direct nanodevice-based single-molecule detection of the neurotransmitter is hampered by technology. Herein, we propose a neurotransmitter molecular nanogap device composed of atomically thin black phosphorus (BP) electrodes, which could rapidly distinguish the single distinct electronic peak of ACh at low positive bias from other central neurotransmitters. It is the first time that this unique electronic signal has been found, which originates from its quaternary ammonium group, and it has been experimentally verified in the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) curves measured at 0.3 mV s-1 in 0.01 M acetycholine chloride aqueous solution. Furthermore, our results suggest that replacing the N atom with a P atom can not only reverse the current signal but also change the signal magnitude in ACh or choline nanoelectronic devices. Importantly, all these appealing properties can even be assembled as components to make these molecules into parallel heterojunctions, making them a promising candidate for applications in forward or backward rectifying diodes. These results provide a theoretical basis for the creative applications of a BP electrode-based nanogap device in the rapid and single-molecule level detection of ACh, an electrochemical understanding for the mechanism of the signal transmission between neurons, and a physical approach to controlling the complex biological signal transduction in organisms. Ultimately, our findings lay the basis for next-generation biomedical solutions to clinical problems in the neurologic field.

Abstract
As biosensors and biomedical devices have become increasingly important to everyday diagnostics and monitoring, there are tremendous, and constant efforts towards developing and improving the reliability and versatility of such technology. As they offer high surface area-to-volume ratios and a diverse range of properties, from electronic to optical, two dimensional (2D) materials have proven to be very promising candidates for biological applications and technologies. Due to the dimensionality, 2D materials facilitate many interfacial phenomena that have shown to significantly improve the performance of biosensors, while recent advances in synthesis techniques and surface engineering methods also enable the realization of future biomedical devices. This short review aims to highlight the influence of 2D material surfaces and the properties that arise due to their 2D structure. Using recent (within the last few years) examples of biosensors and biomedical applications, we emphasize the important role of 2D materials in advancing developments and research for biosensing and healthcare.

Abstract
Conducting polymers are an important class of functional materials that has been widely applied to fabricate electrochemical biosensors, because of their interesting and tunable chemical, electrical, and structural properties. Conducting polymers can also be designed through chemical grafting of functional groups, nanostructured, or associated with other functional materials such as nanoparticles to provide tremendous improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, stability and reproducibility of the biosensor’s response to a variety of bioanalytes. Such biosensors are expected to play a growing and significant role in delivering the diagnostic information and therapy monitoring since they have advantages including their low cost and low detection limit. Therefore, this article starts with the description of electroanalytical methods (potentiometry, amperometry, conductometry, voltammetry, impedometry) used in electrochemical biosensors, and continues with a review of the recent advances in the application of conducting polymers in the recognition of bioanalytes leading to the development of enzyme based biosensors, immunosensors, DNA biosensors, and whole-cell biosensors.

Abstract
A nanostructured Ag/Au adhesive film for H2O2 reagentless determination is here proposed. The film has been realised onto ELISA polystyrene microplates. Microwells surface has been initially modified with a gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/polydopamine thin-film. The pristine AuNPs-decorated film was later functionalized with catechin (Au-CT) allowing a uniform formation of a plasmonic active nanostructured silver network in presence of Ag+. Changes in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the silver network upon addition of H2O2 has been used as analytical signal, taking advantage of the etching phenomenon. The Ag/Au nanocomposite-film is characterized by a well-defined (LSPRmax = 405 ± 5 nm), reproducible (intraplate RSD ≤ 9.8%, n = 96; inter-plate RSD ≤ 11.4%, n = 480) and stable LSPR signal. The film's analytical features have been tested for H2O2 and glucose (bio)sensing. Satisfactory analytical performances were obtained both for H2O2 (linear range 1-200 μM, R2 = 0.9992, RSD ≤ 6.3%, LOD = 0.2 μM) and glucose (linear range 2-250 μM, R2 = 0.9998, RSD ≤ 8.9%, LOD = 0.4 μM). As proof of applicability, the determination of the two analytes in soft drinks has been carried out achieving good and reproducible recoveries (84-111%; RSD ≤ 9%). The developed nanostructured film overcomes analytical drawbacks associated with the use of colloidal dispersions in plasmonic assays carried out in solution; the low cost, robustness, ease of use and possibility of coupling enzymatic reactions appears very promising for (bio)sensors based on the detection of H2O2.

Abstract
A biosensor is defined as a measuring system that includes a biological receptor unit with distinctive specificities toward target analytes. Such analytes include a wide range of biological origins such as DNAs of bacteria or viruses, or proteins generated from an immune system of infected or contaminated living organisms. They further include simple molecules such as glucose, ions, and vitamins. One of the major challenges in biosensor development is achieving efficient signal capture of biological recognition-transduction events. Carbon nanomaterials (CNs) are promising candidates to improve the sensitivity of biosensors while attaining low detection limits owing to their capability of immobilizing large quantities of bioreceptor units at a reduced volume, and they can also act as a transduction element. In addition, CNs can be adapted to functionalization and conjugation with organic compounds or metallic nanoparticles; the creation of surface functional groups offers new properties (e.g., physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties) to the nanomaterials. Because of these intriguing features, CNs have been extensively employed in biosensor applications. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nanodiamonds, graphene, and fullerenes serve as scaffolds for the immobilization of biomolecules at their surface and are also used as transducers for the conversion of signals associated with the recognition of biological analytes. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on the synthesis of CNs and their potential application to biosensors. In addition, we discuss the efforts to improve the mechanical and electrical properties of biosensors by combining different CNs.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an untreatable neurodegenerative disease that initially manifests as difficulty to remember recent events and gradually progresses to cognitive impairment. The incidence of AD is growing yearly as life expectancy increases, thus early detection is essential to ensure a better quality of life for diagnosed patients. To reach that purpose, electrochemical biosensing has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to traditional diagnostic techniques, due to its high sensitivity and selectivity. Of special relevance is the incorporation of nanomaterials in biosensors, as they contribute to enhance electron transfer while promoting the immobilization of biological recognition elements. Moreover, nanomaterials have also been employed as labels, due to their unique electroactive and electrocatalytic properties. The aim of this review is to add value in the advances achieved in the detection of AD biomarkers, the strategies followed for the incorporation of nanomaterials and its effect in biosensors performance.
