Abstract
Several viral infectious diseases appear limitless since the beginning of the 21st century, expanding into pandemic lengths. Thus, there are extensive efforts to provide more efficient means of diagnosis, a better understanding of acquired immunity, and improved monitoring of inflammatory biomarkers, as these are all crucial for controlling the spread of infection while aiding in vaccine development and improving patient outcomes. In this regard, various biosensors have been developed recently to streamline pathogen and immune response detection by addressing the limitations of traditional methods, including isothermal amplification-based systems and lateral flow assays. This review explores state-of-the-art biosensors for detecting viral pathogens, serological assays, and inflammatory biomarkers from the material perspective, by discussing their advantages, limitations, and further potential regarding their analytical performance, clinical utility, and point-of-care adaptability. Additionally, next-generation biosensing technologies that offer better sensitivity and selectivity, and easy handling for end-users are highlighted. An emerging example of these next-generation biosensors are those powered by novel synthetic biology tools, such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) with CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas), in combination with integrated point-of-care devices. Lastly, the current challenges are discussed and a roadmap for furthering these advanced biosensing technologies to manage future pandemics is provided.

Abstract
Severe infections can cause a dysregulated response leading to organ dysfunction known as sepsis. Sepsis can be lethal if not identified and treated right away. This requires measuring biomarkers and pathogens rapidly at the different points where sepsis care is provided. Current commercial approaches for sepsis diagnosis are not fast, sensitive, and/or specific enough for meeting this medical challenge. In this article, we review recent advances in the development of diagnostic tools for sepsis management based on micro- and nanostructured materials. We start with a brief introduction to the most popular biomarkers for sepsis diagnosis (lactate, procalcitonin, cytokines, C-reactive protein, and other emerging protein and non-protein biomarkers including miRNAs and cell-based assays) and methods for detecting bacteremia. We then highlight the role of nano- and microstructured materials in developing biosensors for detecting them taking into consideration the particular needs of every point of sepsis care (e.g., ultrafast detection of multiple protein biomarkers for diagnosing in triage, emergency room, ward, and intensive care unit; quantitative detection to de-escalate treatment; ultrasensitive and culture-independent detection of blood pathogens for personalized antimicrobial therapies; robust, portable, and web-connected biomarker tests outside the hospital). We conclude with an overview of the most utilized nano- and microstructured materials used thus far for solving issues related to sepsis diagnosis and point to new challenges for future development.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pro/anti-inflammatory cytokine, the quantitative detection of which has been extensively considered for diagnosis of inflammatory associated diseases. However, there has not yet been a reliable, low-cost, and user-friendly platform developed for point-of-care (POC) detection of IL-6, which will eliminate the conventional costly, time-consuming, and complex assays. In this work, we developed a lateral flow assay for colorimetric detection of IL-6, using anti-IL-6 antibodies conjugated to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the detection probes. Silver amplification technique was incorporated with the newly developed assay in order to enhance the obtained colorimetric signals, allowing sensitive detection of IL-6 in human serum in the desired physiological ranges (i.e., 5–1000 pg/mL). A limit of detection of 5 pg/mL could be achieved for IL-6 detection in serum with the amplification step which was not achievable in the standard assay. The corresponding specificity and reproducibility tests were all preformed to confirm the reliability of this assay for quantitative measurement of IL-6 in a POC manner.

Abstract
A visual colorimetric rapid screening system based on a lateral flow device for simultaneous detection and differentiation between influenza A and B nucleoprotein as a model was developed. Monoclonal antibodies, specific for either influenza A or B nucleoproteins, were evaluated for their reactivities and were used as targeting ligands. With the best antibody pairs selected, the system exhibited good specificity to both viruses without cross reactivity to other closely related respiratory viruses. Further semi-quantitative analysis using a strip reader revealed that the system is capable of detecting influenza A and B protein content as low as 0.04 and 1 ng per test, respectively, using a sample volume as low as 100 μL, within 10 minutes (R2 = 0.9652 and 0.9718). With a performance comparison to the commercial tests, the system demonstrated a four-to-eight-fold higher sensitivity. Pre-clinical evaluation with 101 nasopharyngeal swabs reveals correlated results with a standard molecular approach, with 89% and 83% sensitivity towards influenza A and B viruses, and 100% specificity for both viruses.

Abstract
Decentralizing COVID-19 care reduces contagions and affords a better use of hospital resources. We introduce biosensors aimed at detecting severe cases of COVID-19 in decentralized healthcare settings. They consist of a paper immunosensor interfaced with a smartphone. The immunosensors have been designed to generate intense colorimetric signals when the sample contains ultralow concentrations of IL-6, which has been proposed as a prognosis biomarker of COVID-19. This is achieved by combining a paper-based signal amplification mechanism with polymer-filled reservoirs for dispensing antibody-decorated nanoparticles and a bespoken app for color quantification. With this design we achieved a low limit of detection (LOD) of 10-3 pg mL-1 and semi-quantitative measurements in a wide dynamic range between 10-3 and 102 pg mL-1 in PBS. The assay time is under 10 min. The low LOD allowed us to dilute blood samples and detect IL-6 with an LOD of 1.3 pg mL-1 and a dynamic range up to 102 pg mL-1. Following this protocol, we were able to stratify COVID-19 patients according to different blood levels of IL-6. We also report on the detection of IL-6 in respiratory samples (bronchial aspirate, BAS) from COVID-19 patients. The test could be easily adapted to detect other cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-8 by changing the antibodies decorating the nanoparticles accordingly. The ability of detecting cytokines in blood and respiratory samples paves the way for monitoring local inflammation in the lungs as well as systemic inflammation levels in the body.

Abstract
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are extensively used in qualitative detection because of their convenience, low cost, fast results, and ease of operation. However, the sample volume used in a lateral flow assay is usually determined experimentally. We test and find that the flow velocity is influenced by sample volume, using fluorescent microspheres as label particles, when analyte concentration is fixed in a sandwich LFA. A model is developed based on mass-action kinetics and advection-diffusion-reaction equation, combing the conjugate pad and nitrocellulose membrane. The model shows predictions from 10 to 120 μL, and predicts accurately the experimental results from 50 to 120 μL where the fluid can flow to the test line. Over all, the model can provide predictions over a wide range of sample volumes for sensitivity analysis. On the basis of the model, the sensitivity of the LFA can be improved according to the sample volume added in the experiment.

Abstract
This review reports the recent advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based lateral flow assay (LFA) platforms for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. As observed through the recent infection outbreaks of COVID-19 worldwide, a timely diagnosis of the disease is critical for preventing the spread of a disease and to ensure epidemic preparedness. In this regard, an innovative point-of-care diagnostic method is essential. Recently, SERS-based assay platforms have received increasing attention in medical communities owing to their high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. In contrast, LFAs provide a user-friendly and easily accessible sensing platform. Thus, the combination of LFAs with a SERS detection system provides a new diagnostic modality for accurate and rapid diagnoses of infectious diseases. In this context, we briefly discuss the recent application of LFA platforms for the POC diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. Thereafter, we focus on the recent advances in SERS-based LFA platforms for the early diagnosis of infectious diseases and their applicability for the rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. Finally, the key issues that need to be addressed to accelerate the clinical translation of SERS-based LFA platforms from the research laboratory to the bedside are discussed.

Abstract
This study provides a comparative assessment of the various nanodispersed markers and related detection techniques used in the immunochromatographic detection of an antibiotic lincomycin (LIN). Improving the sensitivity of the competitive lateral flow immunoassay is important, given the increasing demands for the monitoring of chemical contaminants in food. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were used for the development and comparison of three approaches for the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) of LIN, namely, colorimetric, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based LFIAs. It was demonstrated that, for colorimetric and fluorescence analysis, the detection limits were comparable at 0.4 and 0.2 ng/mL, respectively. A SERS-based method allowed achieving the gain of five orders of magnitude in the assay sensitivity (1.4 fg/mL) compared to conventional LFIAs. Therefore, an integration of a SERS reporter into the LFIA is a promising tool for extremely sensitive quantitative detection of target analytes. However, implementation of this time-consuming technique requires expensive equipment and skilled personnel. In contrast, conventional AuNP- and QD-based LFIAs can provide simple, rapid, and inexpensive point-of-care testing for practical use.

[PMID: 33182579 PMCID: PMC7696391 DOI: 10.3390/nano10112228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) have been developed and used in a wide range of applications, in point-of-care disease diagnoses, environmental safety, and food control. However, in its classical version, it has low sensitivity and can only perform semiquantitative detection, based on colorimetric signals. Over the past decade, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags have been developed in order to decrease the detection limit and enable the quantitative analysis of analytes. Of note, these tags needed new readout systems and signal processing algorithms, while the LFIA design remained unchanged. This review highlights SERS strategies of signal enhancement for LFIAs. The types of labels used, the possible gain in sensitivity from their use, methods of reading and processing the signal, and the prospects for use are discussed.

Abstract
This minireview reports the recent advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based assay devices for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. SERS-based detection methods have shown promise in overcoming the low sensitivity and multiplex detection problems inherent to fluorescence detection. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the current status, challenges, and applications associated with SERS-based microdevices for the point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of infectious diseases. The majority of this review highlights three different types of microdevices, namely microfluidic channels, lateral flow assay strips, and three-dimensional nanostructured substrates. Furthermore, the integration of portable Raman spectrophotometry with microdevices provides an ideal platform for the diagnosis of various infectious diseases in the field. Integrated SERS-based assay systems also enable measurements in minimal sample volumes and at low analyte concentrations of viral or bacterial samples. A significant number of studies using the SERS-based assay system have been performed recently to realize POC diagnostics, especially under resource-limited conditions. This portable SERS sensor is expected to be a next-generation POC assay system that could overcome the limitations of current fluorescence-based assay systems. This minireview summarizes recent advances in the development of SERS-based microdevices for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Lastly, challenges to overcome and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Lateral-flow assays (LFAs) are quick, simple and cheap assays to analyze various samples at the point of care or in the field, making them one of the most widespread biosensors currently available. They have been successfully employed for the detection of a myriad of different targets (ranging from atoms up to whole cells) in all type of samples (including water, blood, foodstuff and environmental samples). Their operation relies on the capillary flow of the sample throughout a series of sequential pads, each with different functionalities aiming to generate a signal to indicate the absence/presence (and, in some cases, the concentration) of the analyte of interest. To have a user-friendly operation, their development requires the optimization of multiple, interconnected parameters that may overwhelm new developers. In this tutorial, we provide the readers with: (i) the basic knowledge to understand the principles governing an LFA and to take informed decisions during lateral flow strip design and fabrication, (ii) a roadmap for optimal LFA development independent of the specific application, (iii) a step-by-step example procedure for the assembly and operation of an LF strip for the detection of human IgG and (iv) an extensive troubleshooting section addressing the most frequent issues in designing, assembling and using LFAs. By changing only the receptors, the provided example procedure can easily be adapted for cost-efficient detection of a broad variety of targets.

Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic has oversaturated many intensive care units to the point of collapse, leading to enormous spikes in death counts. Before critical care becomes a necessity, identifying patients who are likely to become critically ill and providing prompt treatment is a strategy to avoid ICU oversaturation. There is a consensus that a hyperinflammatory syndrome or a "cytokine storm" is responsible for poor outcomes in COVID-19. Measuring cytokine levels at the point of care is required in order to better understand this process. In this Perspective, we summarize the main events behind the cytokine storm in COVID-19 as well as current experimental treatments. We advocate for a new biosensor-enabled paradigm to personalize the management of COVID-19 and stratify patients. Biosensor-guided dosing and timing of immunomodulatory therapies could maximize the benefits of these anti-inflammatory treatments while minimizing deleterious effects. Biosensors will also be essential in order to detect complications such as coinfections and sepsis, which are common in immunosuppressed patients. Finally, we propose the ideal features of these biosensors using some prototypes from the recent literature as examples. Multisensors, lateral flow tests, mobile biosensors, and wearable biosensors are seen as key players for precision medicine in COVID-19.

Abstract
Detecting small variations in the levels of IL-6 is crucial for the early diagnosis of sepsis. To be useful in clinical decision-making, this requires detecting IL-6 rapidly in whole blood and with portable readers. Here we introduce immunosensors made of filter paper that use plasmonic nanoprobes to detect IL-6 rapidly in unprocessed blood with an unmodified smartphone. Key aspects of the biosensor fabrication were optimized in order to reduce the assay time without losing sensitivity. This included testing three bioconjugation routes for protein attachment to nanoprobes using gold nanoparticles covered with carboxylate or amine moieties, or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), as starting materials, and using alternating layers of polyelectrolytes to bind the capture antibody to the paper substrate. Smartphone-based signal quantification was achieved with a custom-made app featuring a unique augmented reality guidance system that circumvents the need for smartphone attachments and automates all the steps involved in color quantification. The biosensors were able to detect IL-6 with a limit of detection of 0.1 pg mL-1 and a total assay time within 17 min. They could also detect an increase in IL-6 of only 12.5 pg mL-1 over basal levels in whole blood with 99% confidence. The high sensitivity and rapid turnaround time afforded by the optimized biosensors and the fully automated real-time densitometry app make our biosensors well suited for emergency healthcare situations such as the identification of potential sepsis cases.

Abstract
The accurate analysis of tumor related biomarkers is extremely critical in the diagnosis of the early stage cervical cancer. Herein, we designed a novel and inexpensive surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based lateral flow assay (SERS-based LFA) strip with a single test line, which was applied for the rapid and sensitive quantitative simultaneous analysis of SCCA and CA125 in serum samples from patients with cervical cancer. In the presence of target antigens, the monoclonal antibody-coupled and Raman reporter-labeled nano-Ag polydopamine nanospheres (PDA@Ag-NPs) aggregated on the test line modified by the polyclonal antibody to form a double-antibody sandwich structure. The finite difference time domain simulation demonstrated that large number of “hot spots” was generated among the nanogaps of aggregated PDA@AgNPs, which resulted in a huge enhancement of the signal of the Raman reporters. Accordingly, the limit of detection was determined to be 7.156 pg mL−1 for SCCA and 7.182 pg mL−1 for CA125 in phosphate buffer and 8.093 pg mL−1 for SCCA and 7.370 pg mL−1 for CA125 in human serum, revealing high sensitivity of this SERS-based LFA strip. Significantly, the detection of SCCA and CA125 using the SERS-based LFA was observed to have high specificity and reproducibility, and the whole detection was completed within 20 min. Furthermore, the SERS-based LFA and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were also employed in serum samples obtained from patients with cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and healthy subjects, and perfect agreement existed between both the methods. Thus, clinically, the developed SERS-based LFA strip has strong potential for the simultaneous detection of multiple cancer biomarkers in serum. Based on SERS-based lateral flow immunoassay, nano-Ag polydopamine nanospheres was used for detecting squamous cell carcinoma antigen and cancer antigen 125 simultaneously in cervical cancer serum.![]()

Abstract
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It can be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker for sepsis. The aim of this study was to establish an easy-to-use detection kit for rapid, quantitative and on-site detection of IL-6. To develop the new IL-6 quantitative detecting kit, a double-antibody sandwich immunofluorescent assay was employed based on europium nanoparticles (Eu-np) combined with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). The performance of the new developed kit was evaluated in the aspects of parallel analysis, linearity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, specificity and clinical sample analysis. Two-hundred and fourteen serum samples were used to carry out the clinical sample analysis. The new IL-6 quantitative detecting kit exhibited a wide linear range (2-500 pg/mL) and a good sensitivity (0.37 pg/mL). The intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) and the inter-assay CV were 5.92%-8.87% and 7.59%-9.04%, respectively. The recovery rates ranged from 102% to 106%. Furthermore, a high correlation (n = 214, r = 0.9756, p < 0.01) was obtained when compared with SIEMENS CLIA IL-6 kit. Thus, the new quantitative method for detecting IL-6 has been successfully established. The results indicated that the newly-developed strip based on Eu-np combined with LFIA was a facile, fast, highly sensitive, low-cost, reliable biosensor and suitable for rapid and point-of-care test (POCT) for IL-6 in serum.
