Abstract
In the last few decades, tear-based biosensors for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have provided new avenues for the diagnosis of diabetes. The tear CGMs constructed from nanomaterials have been extensively demonstrated by various research activities in this field and are gradually witnessing their most prosperous period. A timely and comprehensive review of the development of tear CGMs in a compartmentalized manner from a nanomaterials perspective would greatly broaden this area of research. However, to our knowledge, there is a lack of specialized reviews and comprehensive cohesive reports in this area. First, this paper describes the principles and development of electrochemical glucose sensors. Then, a comprehensive summary of various advanced nanomaterials recently reported for potential applications and construction strategies in tear CGMs is presented in a compartmentalized manner, focusing on sensing properties. Finally, the challenges, strategies, and perspectives used to design tear CGM materials are emphasized, providing valuable insights and guidance for the construction of tear CGMs from nanomaterials in the future.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) have drawn significant attention on account of their structural designability, compositional diversity and great potential applications. As an indispensable branch of POMs, selenotungstates (SeTs) have been synthesized extensively. Some SeTs have been applied as sensing materials for detecting biomarkers (e.g., metabolites, hormones, cancer markers). To gain a comprehensive understanding of advancements in SeT-based sensing materials, we present an overview that encapsulates the sensing performances and mechanisms of SeT-based biosensors. SeT-based biosensors are categorized into electrochemical catalytic biosensors, electrochemical affinity biosensors, "turn-off" fluorescence biosensors and "turn-on" fluorescence biosensors. We anticipate the expansive potential of SeT-based biosensors in wearable and implantable sensing technologies, which promises to catalyze significant breakthroughs in SeT-based biosensors.

[PMID: 38600920 PMCID: PMC11004194 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Joint injuries are among the leading causes of disability. Present concentrations were focused on oral drugs and surgical treatment, which brings severe and unnecessary difficulties for patients. Smart patches with high flexibility and intelligent drug control-release capacity are greatly desirable for efficient joint management. Herein, we present a novel kirigami spider fibroin-based microneedle triboelectric nanogenerator (KSM-TENG) patch with distinctive features for comprehensive joint management. The microneedle patch consists of two parts: the superfine tips and the flexible backing base, which endow it with great mechanical strength to penetrate the skin and enough flexibility to fit different bends. Besides, the spider fibroin-based MNs served as a positive triboelectric material to generate electrical stimulation, thereby forcing drug release from needles within 720 min. Especially, kirigami structures could also transform the flat patch into three dimensions, which could impart the patch with flexible properties to accommodate the complicated processes produced by joint motion. Benefiting from these traits, the KSM-TENG patch presents excellent performance in inhibiting the inflammatory response and promoting wound healing in mice models. The results indicated that the mice possessed only 2% wound area and the paw thickness was reduced from 10.5 mm to 6.2 mm after treatment with the KSM-TENG patch, which further demonstrates the therapeutic effect of joints in vivo. Thus, it is believed that the proposed novel KSM-TENG patch is valuable in the field of comprehensive treatments and personalized clinical applications.

Abstract
Previous works have focused on enhancing the tensile properties, mechanical flexibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of wearable devices for real-time and continuous health management. Silk proteins, including silk fibroin (SF) and sericin, show great advantages in wearable devices due to their natural biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, and low fabrication cost. Moreover, these silk proteins possess great potential for functionalization and are being explored as promising candidates for multifunctional wearable devices with sensory capabilities and therapeutic purposes. This review introduces current advancements in silk-based constituents used in the assembly of wearable sensors and adhesives for detecting essential physiological indicators, including metabolites in body fluids, body temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), pulse, and respiration. SF and sericin play vital roles in addressing issues related to discomfort reduction, signal fidelity improvement, as well as facilitating medical treatment. These developments signify a transition from hospital-centered healthcare toward individual-centered health monitoring and on-demand therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) has attracted great interest because of its prominent advantages of rapidness, precision, portability, and real-time monitoring, thus becoming a powerful biomedical device in early clinical diagnosis and convenient medical treatments. However, its complicated manufacturing process and high expense severely impede mass production and broad applications. Herein, an innovative but inexpensive integrated sandwich-paper three-dimensional (3D) cell sensing device is fabricated to in situ wirelessly detect H2O2 released from living cells. The paper-based electrochemical sensing device was constructed by a sealed sandwiched bottom plastic film/fiber paper/top hole-centered plastic film that was printed with patterned electrodes. A new (Fe, Mn)3(PO4)2/N-doped carbon nanorod was developed and immobilized on the sensing carbon electrode while cell culture solution filled the exposed fiber paper, allowing living cells to grow on the fiber paper surrounding the electrode. Due to the significantly shortening diffusion distance to access the sensing sites by such a unique device and a rationally tuned ratio of Fe2+/Mn2+, the device exhibits a fast response time (0.2 s), a low detection limit (0.4 μM), and a wide detection range (2-3200 μM). This work offers great promise for a low-cost and highly sensitive POCT device for practical clinic diagnosis and broad POCT biomedical applications.

Wearable electrochemical glucose sensor of high flexibility and sensitivity using novel mushroom-like gold nanowires decorated bendable stainless steel wire sieve. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1288:342148.

Abstract
Long-term high blood glucose levels brings extremely detrimental effect on diabetic patients, such as blindness, renal failure, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly flexible and sensitive sensors for precisely non-invasive and continuous monitoring glucose levels. Herein, we present a highly flexible and sensitive wearable sensor for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose analysis with vertically aligned mushroom-like gold nanowires (v-AuNWs) chemically grown on stainless steel wire sieve (SSWS) as integrated electrode. Owing to the unique nanostructures and excellent catalysis of the v-AuNWs, the as-fabricated glucose sensors exhibit superior flexibility and excellent electro-catalytic capability. In detail, these sensors display rapid response towards glucose within 5 s, and the sensor constructed with v-AuNWs for growth time of 15 min shows the highest sensitivity of 180.1 μA mM-1 cm-2 within a wide linear range of 6.5 × 10-4 mM-12.0 mM and the lowest detection limit of 0.65 μM (S/N = 3). It is noteworthy that due to the good ductility of the v-AuNWs and their strong contact with the SSWS substrate, these glucose sensors exhibit no obvious response variation after repeated bending for 100 times at bending angle of 180°. Additionally, the glucose sensors display superior anti-interfering capability as well as desirable repeatability. More importantly, these glucose sensors can be attached on human skin to determine sweat glucose reliably and analyze glucose concentration in human serum in vitro.

Abstract
To effectively differentiate toxic aminophenol isomers, a kind of spindle-shaped Cu-Ru bimetal mesoporous nanozyme (Cu-Ru MPNZ) with high specific surface was developed by one-pot homogeneous reduction method, directed by hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in this work. By virtue of the distinctive microstructure, Cu-Ru MPNZ expressed superior bi-functional oxidase- and peroxidase-mimic activity to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5,'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonic acid) ammonium salt (ABTS) with low Michaelis-Menten constants and quick reaction rates. Especially, toxic aminophenol isomers could exclusively react with the oxydates of TMB or ABTS to express differentiable signals in color. Under the optimal conditions, Cu-Ru MPNZ was successfully applied for visual differentiation of toxic aminophenol isomers in real aqueous, juices and medicinal samples with low detection limits (1.60 × 10-8 mol/L for o-aminophenol and 3.25 × 10-8 mol/L for m-aminophenol) and satisfactory recoveries (96.6-103.5%). The different recognition mechanisms of Cu-Ru MPNZ to toxic o- and m-aminophenol isomers were proposed for the first time as far as we known. This work will provide a potential way to monitor different organic isomer pollution in future.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1283:341948. [PMID: 37977778 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
The challenge of heavy biofouling in complex sweat environments limits the potential of electrochemical sweat sensors for noninvasive physiological assessment. In this study, a novel semi-interpenetrating hydrogel of PSBMA/PEDOT:PSS was engineered by interlacing PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer with zwitterionic PSBMA network. This versatile hydrogel served as the foundation for developing an anti-fouling wearable molecular imprinting sensor capable of sensitive and robust detection of tryptophan (Trp) in complex sweat. The incorporation of PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer into the semi-interpenetrating hydrogel introduced diverse physical crosslinks, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and chain entanglement. This incorporation considerably boosted the hydrogel's mechanical robustness and imparted commendable self-healing property. At the same time, the synergistic coupling between the well-balanced charge of the zwitterionic network and the high conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS polymer facilitated efficient charge transfer. The formation of the desired molecular imprinting membrane of semi-interpenetrating hydrogel was triggered by self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) in the presence of Trp. The designed biosensor demonstrated good sensitivity, selectivity and stability in detecting the target Trp. Notably, it also exhibited exceptional anti-fouling abilities, allowing for accurate Trp detection in complex real sweat samples, yielding results comparable to commercial enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA).

Abstract
A multicolor visual method for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was reported based on the iodide-mediated surface etching of gold nanostar (AuNS). First, AuNS was prepared by a seed-mediated method in a HEPES buffer. AuNS shows two different LSPR absorbance bands at 736 nm and 550 nm, respectively. Multicolor was generated by iodide-mediated surface etching of AuNS in the presence of H2O2. Under the optimized conditions, the absorption peak Δλ had a good linear relationship with the concentration of H2O2 with a linear range from 0.67~66.67 μmol L-1, and the detection limit is 0.44 μmol L-1. It can be used to detect residual H2O2 in tap water samples. This method offered a promising visual method for point-of-care testing of H2O2-related biomarkers.
