Abstract
Vertical flow assay (VFA) is an effective point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tool for widespread application. Nevertheless, the lack of multi-target detection and multi-signal readout capability still remains a challenge. Herein, a brand new VFA scheme for multi-target saliva detection based on electronic tags was proposed, where AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors modified with different bio-receptors as electronic tags endowed the VFA with multi-target detection capability. In addition, the use of electronic tags instead of optical tags allowed the VFA to simultaneously carry out direct multi-target readouts, which ensure effective POC diagnostics for saliva analysis. Moreover, by integrating a hydrophilically optimized micro-sieve, impurities like sticky filaments, epidermal cells and other large-scale charged particles in saliva were effectively screened, which enabled the direct detection of saliva using AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors. Glucose, urea, and cortisol were selected to verify the feasibility of the multi-target e-VFA scheme, and the results showed that the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 100 aM. The linear response was demonstrated in the dynamic range of 100 aM to 100 μM, and the specificity, long-term stability and validity of the actual saliva test were also verified. These results demonstrated that the as-proposed e-VFA has potential for application in saliva detection for simultaneous multi-target detection, and it is expected to achieve the real-time detection of more biological targets in saliva.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for rapid and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2. Here, we report an ultrasensitive SARS-CoV-2 immunosensor by integration of an AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) and anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibody. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT immunosensor has demonstrated the capability to detect SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins at an impressively low concentration of 10-22 M. The sensor was also applied to pseudoviruses and SARS-CoV-2 ΔN virions that display the Spike proteins with a single virion particle sensitivity. These features validate the potential of AlGaN/GaN HEMT biosensors for point of care tests targeting SARS-CoV-2. This research not only provides the first HEMT biosensing platform for ultrasensitive and label-free detection of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The biosensing industry has seen exponential growth in the past decade. Impact of biosensors in the current scenario cannot be overlooked. Cardiovascular diseases (CvDs) have been recognized as one of the major causes for millions of deaths globally. This mortality can be minimized by early and accurate detection/diagnosis of CvDs with the help of biosensing devices. This also presents a global market opportunity for the development of biosensors for CvDs. A vast variety of biosensing methods and devices have been developed for this problem. Most of commercially available platforms for CvD detection rely on optical (fluorometric and colorimetric analysis) techniques using serum biomarkers since optical testing is the gold standard in medical diagnosis. Field effect transistors-based biosensors, termed as Bio-FETs, are the upcoming devices for blood or serum analyte detection due to excellent sensitivity, low operational voltage, handheld device structure and simple chip-based operation. Further, the discovery of two dimensional (2D) materials and their integration with conventional FETs has improved the overvoltage problem, sensitivity and strict operating conditions as compared to conventional FETs. Graphene-FETs based biosensing devices have been proven as promising candidates due to their attractive properties. Despite the severe threat of CvDs which has further increased in post-covid era, the Bio-FET sensor studies in literature are still rare. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive view of all the multidisciplinary concepts related to 2D-BioFETs for CvDs. A critical review of the different platforms has been covered with detailed discussions of related studies to provide a clear concept and present status of 2D-BioFETs based CvD biosensors.

Abstract
Troponin I is a protein released into the human blood circulation and a commonly used biomarker due to its sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing myocardial injury. When heart injury occurs, elevated troponin Troponin I levels are released into the bloodstream. The biomarker is a strong and reliable indicator of myocardial injury in a person, with immediate treatment required. For electrochemical sensing of Troponin I, a quadruplet 3D laser-scribed graphene/molybdenum disulphide functionalised N2-doped graphene quantum dots hybrid with lignin-based Ag-nanoparticles (3D LSG/MoS2/N-GQDs/L-Ag NPs) was fabricated using a hydrothermal process as an enhanced quadruplet substrate. Hybrid MoS2 nanoflower (H3 NF) and nanosphere (H3 NS) were formed independently by varying MoS2 precursors and were grown on 3D LSG uniformly without severe stacking and restacking issues, and characterized by morphological, physical, and structural analyses with the N-GQDs and Ag NPs evenly distributed on 3D LSG/MoS2 surface by covalent bonding. The selective capture of and specific interaction with Troponin I by the biotinylated aptamer probe on the bio-electrode, resulted in an increment in the charge transfer resistance. The limit of detection, based on impedance spectroscopy, is 100 aM for both H3 NF and H3 NS hybrids, with the H3 NF hybrid biosensor having better analytical performance in terms of linearity, selectivity, repeatability, and stability.

Abstract
This work describes the development of a membraneless, self-powered immunosensor exploiting a photoelectrochemical system based on two photoelectrodes for cardiac troponin I (cTn). An electrode based on CaBi2Ta2O9 combined with bismuth oxyiodides (BiOI/Bi4O5I2/Bi5O7I) was modified with the cTnI antibody (anti-cTnI) and applied in a photoelectrochemical cell as a photoanode. To perform the cTnI detection exploiting a self-powered photoelectrochemical setup, the immunosensor (anti-cTnI/BiOI/Bi4O5I2/Bi5O7I/CaBi2Ta2O9/FTO) was coupled to a photoelectrochemical cell containing a photocathode based on CuBi2O4 (CBO/FTO) for zero-biased photoelectrochemical immunosensing of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) biomarker. For comparison purposes, the photoanode was applied for cTnI detection in a three-electrode electrochemical cell. The spectroscopic, structural, and morphological characteristics of the photoelectrochemical (PEC) materials were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed in the presence and absence of light to investigate the effects of photons on the charge transfer resistance of the photoanode. The influence of the cTnI biomarker on the photoelectrochemical response of the anti-cTnI antibody-modified photoelectrochemical platform (anti-cTnI/BiOI/Bi4O5I2/Bi5O7I/CaBi2Ta2O9/FTO) was evaluated by measuring the photocurrent of the system. The immunosensor presented a linear response ranging from 1 pg mL-1 to 200 ng mL-1 as well as a mean recovery percentage between 95.7% and 108.0% in real human serum samples for the cTnI biomarker.

Abstract
The measurement of the neurofilament light chain (NFL) in human blood plasma/serum is a promising liquid biopsy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, offering advantages over conventional neuroimaging techniques recommended in clinical guidelines. Here, a controllable nano-brush structure comprising upstanding silicon nanowires coated with indium tin oxide was employed as the sensing substrate. This nano-brush structure was modified with an NFL antibody (NFLAb) via silane coupling and then further connected as the extended gate in a field-effect transistor (EGFET). Notable signal differences emerged within a 2 min timeframe, enabling the label-free differentiation in human blood plasmas among four distinct cohorts: healthy controls, subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia due to AD. Our study indicates that achieving a surface roughness exceeding 400 nm on the modified nano-brush structure enables the effective electrical sensing in our EGFETs. These distinct electrical responses measured via the NFLAb-modified nano-brush EGFETs can be attributed to the combined effects of the captured NFLs and NFL-specific neuron-derived exosomes (NDEs) found in dementia patients, as confirmed by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Finally, the potential of quantitatively detecting NDEs on the NFLAb-modified nano-brush structure was demonstrated using spiked solutions containing NFL-specific NDEs from IMR-32 neuroblast cells, wherein concentration-dependent changes were observed in the EGFETs output signal. Our findings show that the NFLAb-modified nano-brush EGFET enables rapid, label-free differentiation between healthy individuals and patients at varying stages of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent allergic disease, which seriously affects the sufferers' life quality and increases the socioeconomic burden. Guominkang (GMK), a well-known prescription for AR treatment, showed satisfactory effects; while its anti-allergic components remain to be disclosed. AlGaN/GaN HEMT biochip is more sensitive and cost-effective than other binding equipments, indicating its great potential for screening of active ingredients from herbal medicines. METHODS AR mouse models were first established to test the anti-allergic effect of GMK and discover the ingredients absorbed into blood by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectra (UHPLC-MS). Then, novel Syk/Lyn/Fyn-functionalized high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) biochips with high sensitivity and specificity were constructed and applied to screen the active components. Finally, the results from HEMT biochips screening were validated via in silico (molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation), in vitro (RBL-2H3 cells), and in vivo (PCA mice model) assays. RESULTS GMK showed a potent therapeutic effect on AR mice, and fifteen components were identified from the medicated plasma. Furthermore, hamaudol was firstly found to selectively inhibit the Syk and Lyn, and emodin was to selectively inhibit Lyn, which were further confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation analyses. Suppression of the activation of FcεRI-MAPK signals might be the possible mechanism of the anti-allergic effect of hamaudol. CONCLUSIONS The targets of emodin and hamaudol were discovered by HEMT biochips for the first time. This study provided a novel and effective strategy to discover active components in a complex herbal formula by using AlGaN/GaN HEMT biochips.

Gandotra R, Chen TW, Kuo FC, Lee MS, Lee GB. An aptamer-based sandwich assay for detection of alpha-defensin human neutrophil protein 1 on a microfluidic platform. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 229:115120. [PMID: 36963324 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a labor-intensive and challenging issue, with life-threatening complications associated with misdiagnoses. Superior diagnostic approaches are therefore urgently needed, and synovial biomarkers are gaining substantial attention in this capacity. A new aptamer-based sandwich assay was developed where the aptamer probes specific to one such biomarker, alpha-defensin human neutrophil protein 1 (HNP 1), was integrated herein into a new microfluidic platform. The magnetic beads coated with the primary aptamer probe were able to bind the target protein with high affinity and high specificity in synovial fluid and a fluorescent-labelled secondary aptamer were further used to quantify HNP 1 in a sandwich approach. Up to four clinical samples with low volume (∼50 μL each) in a much faster assay including detection within <60 min with 100% accuracy (with totally 13 clinical samples without the need of sample pretreatment) through the use of the aptamer-based sandwich assay were automatically detected on a single chip. The wide dynamic range of this compact device, 0.5-100 mg/L, highlights its utility for future PJI diagnostics in the clinic.

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
High electron mobility transistor (HEMT) biosensors hold great potential for realizing label-free, real-time, and direct detection. Owing to their unique properties of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), HEMT biosensors have the ability to amplify current changes pertinent to potential changes with the introduction of any biomolecules, making them highly surface charge sensitive. This review discusses the recent advances in the use of AlGaN/GaN and AlGaAs/GaAs HEMT as biosensors in the context of different gate architectures. We describe the fundamental mechanisms underlying their operational functions, giving insight into crucial experiments as well as the necessary analysis and validation of data. Surface functionalization and biorecognition integrated into the HEMT gate structures, including self-assembly strategies, are also presented in this review, with relevant and promising applications discussed for ultra-sensitive biosensors. Obstacles and opportunities for possible optimization are also surveyed. Conclusively, future prospects for further development and applications are discussed. This review is instructive for researchers who are new to this field as well as being informative for those who work in related fields.

Abstract
We have previously surveyed a panel of 508 physicians from around the world about which biomarkers would be relevant if obtained in a very short time frame, corresponding to emergency situations (life-threatening or not). The biomarkers that emerged from this study were markers of cardiovascular disease: troponin, D-dimers, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Cardiovascular disease is a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels. At the intersection of medicine, basic research and engineering, biosensors that address the need for rapid biological analysis could find a place of choice in the hospital or primary care ecosystem. Rapid, reliable, and inexpensive analysis with a multi-marker approach, including machine learning analysis for patient risk analysis, could meet the demand of medical teams. The objective of this opinion review, proposed by a multidisciplinary team of experts (physicians, biologists, market access experts, and engineers), is to present cases where a rapid biological response is indeed valuable, to provide a short overview of current biosensor technologies for cardiac biomarkers designed for a short result time, and to discuss existing market access issues.

Abstract
This work reports rapid, label-free and specific detection of the HER2 antigen using a gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). Thiol-based chemistry has been utilized to immobilize the corresponding HER2 antibody in the sensing area of the sensor. The formation of a gold-sulfur complex has been confirmed through Raman spectroscopy, giving a peak at around a wavelength of 260 cm-1. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) also reveal the functionalization of thiol and free carboxylic groups. On-chip enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been utilized to confirm immobilization of antibody receptors on the sensing area surface, followed by current-voltage measurement. Morphology of the sensing area using AFM and electrical characterization of the sensor have been recorded before and after each functionalization process step. The sensor shows detection of the HER2 antigen in a broad range of 0.7 pg ml-1 to 10 μg ml-1i.e., (5 × 10-15 to 6 × 10-8 M). A long-time study and reusability aspect of the sensor have also been investigated that show good viability of the sensor. For the first time, a three-binding-site model based on the Langmuir isotherm has been developed for HER2 detection using GaN-HEMTs with three dissociation constants, i.e., 7 × 10-10, 8.8 × 10-11, and 7.2 × 10-9 M, respectively.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, is a life-threatening condition that causes millions of deaths every year. In this study, a transistor-based biosensor is developed for rapid and sensitive detection of cardiac troponin-I (cTnI), a diagnostic biomarker of AMI. A biosensing technique based on a field effect transistor (FET), which uses indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) as an excellent semiconducting channel, is integrated with nanosheet materials to detect cTnI. Porous carbon nitride (PCN) decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) is used as a bridge between the solid-state device and the biorecognition element. We demonstrate that this biosensor is highly sensitive and has an experimental limit of detection of 0.0066 ng/mL and a dynamic range of 0.01 ng/mL-1000 ng/mL. This is the first report of a semiconducting metal oxide FET cardiac biomarker sensor combined with PCN for the detection of cTnI. The reported compact microsystem paves the way for rapid and inexpensive detection of cardiac biomarkers.

Abstract
Determination of specific cardiac biomarkers (CBs) during the diagnosis and management of adverse cardiovascular events such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has become commonplace in emergency department (ED), cardiology and many other ward settings. Cardiac troponins (cTnT and cTnI) and natriuretic peptides (BNP and NT-pro-BNP) are the preferred biomarkers in clinical practice for the diagnostic workup of AMI, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and other types of myocardial ischaemia and heart failure (HF), while the roles and possible clinical applications of several other potential biomarkers continue to be evaluated and are the subject of several comprehensive reviews. The requirement for rapid, repeated testing of a small number of CBs in ED and cardiology patients has led to the development of point-of-care (PoC) technology to circumvent the need for remote and lengthy testing procedures in the hospital pathology laboratories. Electroanalytical sensing platforms have the potential to meet these requirements. This review aims firstly to reflect on the potential benefits of rapid CB testing in critically ill patients, a very distinct cohort of patients with deranged baseline levels of CBs. We summarise their source and clinical relevance and are the first to report the required analytical ranges for such technology to be of value in this patient cohort. Secondly, we review the current electrochemical approaches, including its sub-variants such as photoelectrochemical and electrochemiluminescence, for the determination of important CBs highlighting the various strategies used, namely the use of micro- and nanomaterials, to maximise the sensitivities and selectivities of such approaches. Finally, we consider the challenges that must be overcome to allow for the commercialisation of this technology and transition into intensive care medicine.

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

Abstract
Leakage of human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) caused by trauma or other reasons presents exceptional challenges in clinical analysis and can have severe medical repercussions. Conventional test methods, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofixation electrophoresis testing, typically are performed at a few clinical reference laboratories, which may potentially delay proper diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, medical imaging can serve as a secondary diagnosis tool. This work presented here reports the use of a point-of-care electrochemical sensor for detection of beta-2-transferrin (B2T), a unique isomer of transferrin that is present exclusively in human CSF but is absent in other bodily fluids. Limits of detection were examined via serial dilution of human samples with known B2T concentrations down to 7 × 10-12 g B2T/ml while maintaining excellent sensitivity. Nine human samples with varying levels of B2T were compared using up to 100 times dilution to confirm the validity of sensor output across different patient samples.

General practice and emergency medicine were heavily represented, with 95% CIs of 44% (39.78, 48.41) and 32% (27.84, 35.94)), respectively. The two most represented countries were France (95% CI: 74% (70.20, 77.83)) and the USA (95% CI: 11% (8.65, 14.18)). Ninety-eight percentages of the physicians thought that obtaining cited biomarkers more quickly would be beneficial to their practice and to patient’s care. The main biomarkers of interest identified by our panel were troponin (95% CI: 51% (46.24, 54.94)), C-reactive protein (95% CI: 42% (38.03, 46.62)), D-dimer (95% CI: 29% (24.80, 32.68)), and brain natriuretic peptide (95% CI: 13% (10.25, 16.13)). (4) Conclusions: Our study highlights the real technological need for fast biomarker results, which could be provided by biosensors. The relevance of some answers such as troponin is questionable.

[PMID: 34901383 PMCID: PMC8646907 DOI: 10.1002/admt.202100842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
In light of the swift outspread and considerable mortality, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) necessitates a rapid screening tool and a precise diagnosis. Saliva is considered as an alternative specimen to detect the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since the viral load is comparable to what are found in a throat and a nasal cavity. The electrical double layer (EDL)-gated field-effect transistor-based biosensor (BioFET) emerges as a promising candidate for salivary COVID-19 tests due to a high sensitivity, a portable configuration, a label-free operation, and a matrix insensitivity. In this work, the authors utilize EDL-gated BioFETs to detect complementary DNAs (cDNAs) and viral RNAs with various testing conditions such as switches of probes, temperature treatments, and matrices. The selectivity is confirmed with cDNA and noncomplementary DNA (ncDNA), exhibiting an eightfold difference in electrical signals. The matrix insensitivity is evaluated, and BioFETs successfully validate the detection of SARS-CoV-2 N-gene RNA down to 1 fm in diluted human saliva with a 95°C- and a 25°C-treatment, respectively. This proposed system has a high potential to be deployed for an on-site COVID-19 screening, improving the disease control and benefitting frontline healthcare system.

Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 194:113608.

Abstract
There are still huge challenges from clinical real-world data to accurate targets and critical quality attributes (CQAs) for effective treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). Here, we present a novel integrated strategy that biosensors and intelligent algorithms were used to angle AR targets and CQAs from clinical real world. Firstly, bagging and boosting partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) and Monte-Carlo sampling were proposed to screen accurate AR targets. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) potential targets were obtained based on large-scale analysis of one thousand proteins and in-depth precise screening of seventy proteins. Furthermore, high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) biosensors were fabricated and successfully modified by MIF and IL-1β potential targets with a low detection concentration as 1 pM and quantitative range from 1 pM to 10 nM. Surprisingly, through MIF/IL-1β biosensors, we angled 5-O-methylvisammioside, amygdalin, and cimicifugoside three CQAs. The strong interaction was discovered among three CQAs and MIF/IL-1β biosensors with almost all KD up to 10-11 M. Finally, interaction among three CQAs and MIF/IL-1β biosensors were evaluated by in vitro and vivo experiments. In this paper, two critical potential targets and three effective CQAs for AR treatment were discovered and validated by biosensor and advanced algorithms. It provides a superior integrated idea for angling critical targets and CQAs from clinical real-world data by biosensors and informatics.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution remains a major concern for the public today, in line with the growing population and global industrialization. Heavy metal ion (HMI) is a threat to human and environmental safety, even at low concentrations, thus rapid and continuous HMI monitoring is essential. Among the sensors available for HMI detection, the field-effect transistor (FET) sensor demonstrates promising potential for fast and real-time detection. The aim of this review is to provide a condensed overview of the contribution of certain semiconductor substrates in the development of chemical and biosensor FETs for HMI detection in the past decade. A brief introduction of the FET sensor along with its construction and configuration is presented in the first part of this review. Subsequently, the FET sensor deployment issue and FET intrinsic limitation screening effect are also discussed, and the solutions to overcome these shortcomings are summarized. Later, we summarize the strategies for HMIs' electrical detection, mechanisms, and sensing performance on nanomaterial semiconductor FET transducers, including silicon, carbon nanotubes, graphene, AlGaN/GaN, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), black phosphorus, organic and inorganic semiconductor. Finally, concerns and suggestions regarding detection in the real samples using FET sensors are highlighted in the conclusion.

Abstract
Emerging research in biosensors has attracted much attention worldwide, particularly in response to the recent pandemic outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Nevertheless, initiating research in biosensing applied to the diagnosis of diseases is still challenging for researchers, be it in the preferences of biosensor platforms, selection of biomarkers, detection strategies, or other aspects (e.g., cutoff values) to fulfill the clinical purpose. There are two sides to the development of a diagnostic tool: the biosensor development side and the clinical side. From the development side, the research engineers seek the typical characteristics of a biosensor: sensitivity, selectivity, linearity, stability, and reproducibility. On the other side are the physicians that expect a diagnostic tool that provides fast acquisition of patient information to obtain an early diagnosis or an efficient patient stratification, which consequently allows for making assertive and efficient clinical decisions. The development of diagnostic devices always involves assay developer researchers working as pivots to bridge both sides whose role is to find detection strategies suitable to the clinical needs by understanding (1) the intended use of the technology and its basic principle and (2) the preferable type of test: qualitative or quantitative, sample matrix challenges, biomarker(s) threshold (cutoff value), and if the system requires a mono- or multiplex assay format. This review highlights the challenges for the development of biosensors for clinical assessment and its broad application in multidisciplinary fields. This review paper highlights the following biosensor technologies: magnetoresistive (MR)-based, transistor-based, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and optical-based biosensors. Its working mechanisms are discussed with their pros and cons. The article also gives an overview of the most critical parameters that are optimized by developing a diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Over the last decade, there has been a huge demand for health care technologies such as sensors-based prediction using digital health. With the continuous rise in the human population, these technologies showed to be potentially effective solutions to life-threatening diseases such as heart failure (HF). Besides being a potential for early death, HF has a significantly reduced quality of life (QoL). Heart failure has no cure. However, treatment can help you live a longer and more active life with fewer symptoms. Thus, it is essential to develop technological aid solutions allowing early diagnosis and consequently, effective treatment with possibly delayed mortality. Commonly, forecasts of HF are based on the generation of vast volumes of data usually collected from an individual patient by different components of the family history, physical examination, basic laboratory results, and other medical records. Though, these data are not effectively useful for predicting this failure, nevertheless, with the aid of advanced medical technology such as interconnected multi-sensory-based devices, and based on several medical history characteristics, the broad data provided machine learning algorithms to predict risk factors for heart disease of an individual is beneficial. There will be many challenges for the next decade of advancements in HF care: exploiting an increasingly growing repertoire of interconnected internal and external sensors for the benefit of patients and processing large, multimodal datasets with new Artificial Intelligence (AI) software. Various methods for predicting heart failure and, primarily the significance of invasive and non-invasive sensors along with different strategies for machine learning to predict heart failure are presented and summarized in the present study.

Abstract
Sensitive and selective detection of biomarkers in serum in a short time has a significant impact on health. The enormous clinical importance of developing reliable methods and devices for testing serum levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), which are directly correlated to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has spurred an unmatched race among researchers for the development of highly sensitive and cost-effective sensing formats to be able to differentiate patients with early onset of cardiac injury from healthy individuals with a mean cTnI level of 26 pg mL-1. Electronic- and electrochemical-based detection schemes allow for fast and quantitative detection not otherwise possible at the point of care. Such approaches rely largely on voltammetric and field-effect-based readouts. Here, we systematically investigate electric and electrochemical point-of-care sensors for the detection of cTnI in serum samples by using the same surface receptors, cTnI aptamer-functionalized CVD graphene-coated interdigated gold electrodes. The analytical performances of both sensors are comparable with a limit of detection (LoD) of 5.7 ± 0.6 pg mL-1(electrochemical) and 3.3 ± 1.2 pg mL-1 (electric). However, both sensors exhibit different equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) values between the aptamer-linked surface receptor and the cTnI analyte, being 160 pg mL-1 for the electrochemical and about three times lower for the electrical approach with KD = 51.4 pg mL-1. This difference is believed to be related to the use of a redox mediator in the electrochemical sensor for readout. The ability of the redox mediator to diffuse from the solution to the surface via the cTnI/aptamer interface is hindered, correlating to higher KD values. In contrast, the electric readout has the advantage of being label-free with a sensing limitation due to ionic strength effects, which can be limited using poly(ethylene) glycol surface ligands.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the main cause of death from cardiovascular diseases. Thus, early diagnosis of AMI is essential for the treatment of irreversible damage from myocardial infarction. Traditional electrocardiograms (ECG) cannot meet the specific detection of AMI. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is the main biomarker for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, and the detection of cTnI content has become particularly important. In this review, we introduced and compared the advantages and disadvantages of various cTnI detection methods. We focused on the analysis and comparison of the main indicators and limitations of various cTnI biosensors, including the detection range, detection limit, specificity, repeatability, and stability. In particular, we pay more attention to the application and development of electrochemical biosensors in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases based on different biological components. The application of electrochemical microfluidic chips for cTnI was also briefly introduced in this review. Finally, this review also briefly discusses the unresolved challenges of electrochemical detection and the expectations for improvement in the detection of cTnI biosensing in the future.

Abstract
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is an efficient and specific biomarker for the accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), one of the diseases with the highest mortality worldwide. Due to the short course and high fatality of this disease, a rapid, accurate and portable device for quantitative detection is urgently needed for early diagnosis and treatment. In this work, we designed a handheld device based on a dual-gate ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) for early and accurate warning of AMI through cTnI detection. A one-step enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay strategy was proposed for use in this device to recognize trace cTnI in serum, converting the cTnI concentration to a drain-source current generated by an ultrasensitive ISFET. This portable device exhibited an ultrahigh sensitivity of 132 pA pg-1·mL-1, a wide linear range from 1 to 1000 pg/mL that enabled coverage far exceeding the threshold level (280 pg/mL), and a low detection limit of 0.3 pg/mL for the cTnI assay, which was much lower than the current diagnostic cut-off for a healthy control level for AMI (40 pg/mL). In addition, this handheld device showed satisfactory selectivity and reliable results in the analysis of real serum within 20 min, indicating its potential applications in early screening and diagnosis for the clinical evaluation of AMI.

Abstract
The problems of chronic or noncommunicable diseases (NCD) that now kill around 40 million people each year require multiparametric combinatorial diagnostics for the selection of effective treatment tactics. This could be implemented using the biosensor principle based on peptide aptamers for spatial recognition of corresponding protein markers of diseases in biological fluids. In this paper, a low-cost label-free principle of biomarker detection using a biosensor system based on fluorometric registration of the target proteins bound to peptide aptamers was investigated. The main detection principle considered includes the re-emission of the natural fluorescence of selectively bound protein markers into a longer-wavelength radiation easily detectable by common charge-coupled devices (CCD) using a specific luminophore. Implementation of this type of detection system demands the reduction of all types of stray light and background fluorescence of construction materials and aptamers. The latter was achieved by careful selection of materials and design of peptide aptamers with substituted aromatic amino acid residues and considering troponin T, troponin I, and bovine serum albumin as an example. The peptide aptamers for troponin T were designed in silico using the «Protein 3D» (SPB ETU, St. Petersburg, Russia) software. The luminophore was selected from the line of ZnS-based solid-state compounds. The test microfluidic system was arranged as a flow through a massive of four working chambers for immobilization of peptide aptamers, coupled with the optical detection system, based on thick film technology. The planar optical setup of the biosensor registration system was arranged as an excitation-emission cascade including 280 nm ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED), polypropylene (PP) UV transparent film, proteins layer, glass filter, luminophore layer, and CCD sensor. A laboratory sample has been created.

Abstract
A sensitive and highly reproducible cardiac troponin I (cTnI) immunoassay in human serum is a challenging research goal for researchers studying biosensors because cTnI can undergo proteolysis and various modifications in blood. Furthermore, the reproducible detection of cTnI at very low concentrations is also required for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. Here, we present sensitive and highly reproducible quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunosensors for the detection of cTnI in human serum. The unique features of this study are the use of a pair of capture antibodies that bind to different epitopes of cTnI, and the use of a signal amplification technique that enlarged the size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles using photocatalytic silver staining. Since QCM measures changes in the resonance frequency due to the changes in mass occurring on the sensor surface, it is possible to quantitatively analyze cTnI based on the enormous increase in mass using a sandwich immunoassay and subsequent signal amplification by silver staining. The detection limit of the cTnI immunoassay in human serum without photocatalytic silver staining was 307 pg/ml, but 18 pg/ml in photocatalytic silver staining-mediated signal amplification. Thus, amplifying the signal increased the sensitivity and reproducibility of the cTnI immunoassay in human serum.

Abstract
Mechanochemical reactions at the gallium nitride-alumina (GaN-Al2O3) interface at nanoscale offer a significant beneficial reference for the high-efficiency and low-destruction ultra-precision machining on GaN surface. Here, the mechanochemical reactions on oxide-free and oxidized GaN surfaces rubbed by the Al2O3 nanoasperity as a function of the ambient humidity were studied. Experimental results reveal that oxidized GaN exhibits a higher mechanochemical removal rate than that of oxide-free GaN over the relative humidity range of 3-80%. The mechanical activation in the mechanochemical reactions at the GaN-Al2O3 interface is well-described by the mechanically-assisted Arrhenius-type kinetics model. The analysis indicates that less external mechanical activation energy is required to initiate the mechanochemical atomic attrition on the oxidized GaN surface compared with the oxide-free GaN surface. These results may not only gain a deep understanding of the mechanochemical removal mechanism of GaN but also provide the basic knowledge for the optimization of the oxidation-assisted ultra-precision machining.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction has a high clinical mortality rate. The initial exclusion or diagnosis is important for the timely treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. As a marker, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has a high specificity, high sensitivity to myocardial injury and a long diagnostic window. Therefore, its diagnostic value is better than previous markers of myocardial injury. In this work, we propose a novel aptamer electrochemical sensor. This sensor consists of silver nanoparticles/MoS2/reduced graphene oxide. The combination of these three materials can provide a synergistic effect for the stable immobilization of aptamer. Our proposed aptamer electrochemical sensor can detect cTnl with high sensitivity. After optimizing the parameters, the sensor can provide linear detection of cTnl in the range of 0.3 pg/ml to 0.2 ng/ml. In addition, the sensor is resistant to multiple interferents including urea, glucose, myoglobin, dopamine and hemoglobin.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the quantitative assay of cardiac Troponin I (cTnI), one of the key biomarkers for acute cardiovascular diseases (the leading cause of death worldwide) using the fluorescence-based sandwich immune reaction. Surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE) produced by non-radiative coupling of dye molecules with surface plasmons being excitable via the reverse Kretschmann format is exploited for fluorescence-based sandwich immunoassay for quantitative detection of cTnI. The SPCE fluorescence chip utilizes the gold (2 nm)-silver (50 nm) bimetallic thin film, with which molecules of the dye Alexa 488 (conjugated with detection antibodies) make a near field coupling with the plasmonic film for SPCE. The experimental results find that the SPCE greatly improves the sensitivity via enhancing the fluorescence signal (up to 50-fold) while suppressing the photo-bleaching, permitting markedly enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. The limit of detection of 21.2 ag mL-1 (atto-gram mL-1) is obtained, the lowest ever reported to date amid those achieved by optical technologies such as luminescence and label-free optical sensing techniques. The features discovered such as ultrahigh sensitivity may prompt the presented technologies to be applied for early diagnosis of cTnI in blood, particularly for emergency medical centers overloaded with patients with acute myocardial infarction who would suffer from time-delayed diagnosis due to insufficient assay device sensitivity.

Abstract
In this experimental study, a portable biosensor was developed to detect β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), which is extensively used in pregnancy tests and serves as a biomarker for ectopic pregnancy. The sensor used is an electric-double-layer field-effect transistor biosensor with the extended-gate design. Bias voltage is applied on the sensor to measure the resulting drain current signals. Gold electrode surface is functionally activated with an anti-β-hCG antibody to capture β-hCG protein. Fluorescence imaging technique is utilized to confirm the surface functionalization. The biosensor demonstrates a dynamically wide range of molecules as detection targets at very low sample concentrations, which shows the potential to detect ectopic pregnancy in very early stages and easily keep track of its periodic changes. It can be produced en masse and does not use additional labels/reagents or pre-processing techniques for the sample. This biosensor can significantly reduce the manufacturing costs and is comparable with the currently available commercial ß-hCG assays. It is suitable for early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy with low cost and easy operation at home with urine samples.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), is the second global cause of death after cardiovascular diseases, accounts for 80-85% of cerebrovascular disease. Stroke diagnosis could be challenging in the acute phase. Detection of biomarkers for evaluating the prognosis of diseases is essential for improving personalized treatment and decreasing mortality. At the present time, the absence of a broadly existing and rapid diagnostic test is an important limitation in the evaluation and treatment of diseases. The use of a biomarker-based diagnostic attitude has confirmed very valuable in acute coronary syndromes, which has been promoted in acute stroke to help early management decisions. Over the past decade, different detection procedures have developed for the assessment of human cardiac troponins (cTnI). This review emphasizes on summarizing optical, and electrochemical biosensors for the detection of cTnI, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) as a critical biomarker in stroke.

Abstract
The AlGaN/GaN-based sensor is a promising POCT (point-of-care-testing) device featuring miniaturization, low cost, and high sensitivity. BNP is an effective protein biomarker for the early diagnosis of HF (heart failure). In this work, a novel AlGaN/GaN device with the Kelvin connection structure and the corresponding detection technique was proposed. This technique can effectively suppress the background noise and improve the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). A BNP detection experiment was carried out to verify the effectiveness of this technique. It is shown that compared with that of the traditional detection method, the LOD (limit of detection) was improved from 0.47 ng/mL to 1.29 pg/mL. The BNP detection experiment was also carried out with a traditional electrochemical Au-electrode sensor with the same surface functionalization steps. The AlGaN/GaN sensor showed a better LOD than the Au-electrode sensor. Moreover, the influence of AlGaN/GaN sensor package on background noise was investigated with the mechanism of the noise source revealed. Finally, based on the optimized package, the optimal SNR quiescent operating point of the AlGaN/GaN sensor was determined. By biasing the sensor at the optimal quiescent operating point and immobilizing the magnetic beads with anti-BNP on the gate of the AlGaN/GaN sensor, the LOD for BNP detection was further improved to 0.097 pg/mL.

Abstract
This article reviews optical biosensors and their integration with microfluidic channels. The integrated biosensors have the advantages of higher accuracy and sensitivity because they can simultaneously monitor two or more parameters. They can further incorporate many functionalities such as electrical control and signal readout monolithically in a single semiconductor chip, making them ideal candidates for point-of-care testing. In this article, we discuss the applications by specifically looking into point-of-care testing (POCT) using integrated optical sensors. The requirement and future perspective of integrated optical biosensors for POC is addressed.

Abstract
The acceleration of climatic, digital, and health challenges is testing scientific communities. Scientists must provide concrete answers in terms of technological solutions to a society which expects immediate returns on the public investment. We are living such a scenario on a global scale with the pandemic crisis of COVID-19 where expectations for virological and serological diagnosis tests have been and are still gigantic. In this Perspective, we focus on a class of biosensors (mechanical biosensors) which are ubiquitous in the literature in the form of high performance, sensitive, selective, low-cost biological analysis systems. The spectacular development announced in their performance in the last 20 years suggested the possibility of finding these mechanical sensors on the front line of COVID-19, but the reality was quite different. We analyze the cause of this rendez-vous manqué, the operational criteria that kept these biosensors away from the field, and we indicate the pitfalls to avoid in the future in the development of all types of biosensors of which the ultimate goal is to be immediately operational for the intended application.

Abstract
pH sensors with low-power and strong anti-interference are extremely important for industrial online real-time detection. Herein, a narrow channel pH sensor based on Al0.25Ga0.75N/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) with package integrated Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels is proposed. The fabricated device has shown potential advantages in improving stability and reducing power consumption in response to pH changes of the solution. The performance of the pH sensor was demonstrated where the preliminary results showed an ultra-low power (<5.0 μW) at VDS = 1.0 V. Meanwhile, the sensitivity was 0.06 μA/V·pH in the range of pH = 2 to pH = 10, and the resolution of the sensor was 0.1 pH. The improvement in performance of the proposed sensor can be related to the narrow channel and microchannel, which can be attributed to better surface GaxOy in a microchannel with larger H+ and HO- concentration on the sensing surface during the detection process. The low-power sensor with excellent stability can be widely used in various unattended or harsh environments, and it is more conducive to integration and intelligence, which lays the foundation for online monitoring in vivo.

Abstract
In recent years, an increasing rate of mortality due to myocardial infarction (MI) has led to the development of nanobased platforms, especially gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), as promising nanomaterials for diagnosis and treatment of MI. These promising NPs have been used to develop different nanobiosensors, mainly optical sensors for early detection of biomarkers as well as biomimetic/bioinspired platforms for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE). Therefore, in this Review, we presented an overview on the potential application of AuNPs as optical (surface plasmon resonance, colorimetric, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence) nanobiosensors for early diagnosis and prognosis of MI. On the other hand, we discussed the potential application of AuNPs either alone or with other NPs/polymers as promising three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds to regulate the microenvironment and mimic the morphological and electrical features of cardiac cells for potential application in CTE. Furthermore, we presented the challenges and ongoing efforts associated with the application of AuNPs in the diagnosis and treatment of MI. In conclusion, this Review may provide outstanding information regarding the development of AuNP-based technology as a promising platform for current MI treatment approaches.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a cardiovascular disease that is produced due to a deficiency of oxygen generating irreversible damage in the heart muscle. In diagnosis, electrocardiogram (ECG) investigation has been the main method but is insufficient, so approaches like the measurement of biomarkers levels in plasma or saliva have become one of the most commonly applied strategies for prognosis of AMI, as some of them are specifically related to a heart attack. Many tests are carrying on to determine biological markers changes, but usually, they present disadvantages related to time consumption and laborious work. To overcome the issues, researchers around the world have been developing different ways to enhance detection through the use of biosensors. These diagnostic devices have a biological sensing element associated to a physicochemical transducer that can be made from different materials and configurations giving place to different kinds of detection: Electrical/Electrochemical, Optical and Mechanical. In this review, the authors presents relevant investigations related to the most important biomarkers and biosensors used for their detection having in mind the nanotechnology participation in the process through the application of nanostructures as a good choice for device configuration.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cardiac troponin I (cTn1) is a commonly used biomarker for the diagnosis of AMI. Although there are various detection methods for the rapid detection of cTn1 such as optical, electrochemical, and acoustic techniques, electrochemical aptasensing techniques are commonly used because of their ease of handling, portability, and compactness. In this study, an electrochemical cTn1 biosensor, MoS2 nanoflowers on screen-printed electrodes assisted by aptamer, was synthesized using hydrothermal technique. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed distinct 2D nanosheets and jagged flower-like 3D MoS2 nanoflower structure, with X-ray diffraction analysis revealing well-stacked MoS2 layers. Voltammetry aptasensing of cTn1 ranges from 10 fM to 1 nM, with a detection limit at 10 fM and a sensitivity of 0.10 nA µM-1 cm-2 . This is a ∼fivefold improvement in selectivity compared with the other proteins and human serum. This novel aptasensor retained 90% of its biosensing activity after 6 weeks with a 4.3% RSD and is a promising high-performance biosensor for detecting cTn1.

Abstract
The terahertz (THz) metamaterial biosensor has great potential for label-free and rapid specificity testing. Here, we designed two highly sensitive structures to detect the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) of the cancer biomarker in early stages. There was about 29 GHz (500 ng/ml) resonance shift for CEA with an insert grate metamaterial, which was consistent with simulation results. Moreover, the concentration of CEA was gained through the relationship between the cancer marker concentration and frequency shift (Δƒ). Our design and detection methods may provide a potential route for the early warning stages of cancer.

Abstract
In this study, high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) device was used as an immuno biosensor to measure concentration of a stress hormone, cortisol, by using selective binding on cortisol monoclonal antibody (c-Mab). Also, the HEMT sensor was enhanced in its sensitivity through light illumination to generate photocurrent. The optical pumping could assist the biosensor to discriminate more detailed change, which could result in an increment of limit of detection (LOD) to 1.0 pM cortisol level. It was the lowest level of detection with semiconductor device-based cortisol biosensors and the enhancement of surface potential sensitivity was induced by laser light (532 nm). Output current amplificated by photocurrent was higher than dark original current at about 3.39% when gate voltage is applied with -3 V. Since the device could be applied to not only standard cortisol solution but also real human salivary sample, it is expected to apply for in vitro direct diagnosis of point-of-care test (POCT).
