Abstract
Climate change is a profound crisis that affects every aspect of life, including public health. Changes in environmental conditions can promote the spread of pathogens and the development of new mutants and strains. Early detection is essential in managing and controlling this spread and improving overall health outcomes. This perspective article introduces basic biosensing concepts and various biosensors, including electrochemical, optical, mass-based, nano biosensors, and single-molecule biosensors, as important sustainability and public health preventive tools. The discussion also includes how the sustainability of a biosensor is crucial to minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring the long-term availability of vital technologies and resources for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and beyond. One promising avenue for pathogen screening could be the electrical detection of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, and some recent developments based on single-molecule bioelectronics using the Scanning Tunneling Microscopy-assisted break junctions (STM-BJ) technique are shown here. Using this technique, biomolecules can be detected with high sensitivity, eliminating the need for amplification and cell culture steps, thereby enhancing speed and efficiency. Furthermore, the STM-BJ technique demonstrates exceptional specificity, accurately detects single-base mismatches, and exhibits a detection limit essentially at the level of individual biomolecules. Finally, a case is made here for sustainable biosensors, how they can help, the paradigm shift needed to achieve them, and some potential applications.

Abstract
To facilitate the sensor fabrication and sensing operation in microstructured optical fiber-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors for high refractive index (RI) detection, we propose a special hollow fiber-based SPR sensor that comprises an opening on its body side and a thin gold layer coated on its outer surface. The analyte is able to flow into the hollow core through the side-opening to form new fiber core, with the Gaussian-like mode propagating in it. We investigate the sensing performance of the proposed sensor in a higher RI range of 1.48 to 1.54 at two feasible schemes: one is to only fill the fiber core with analyte (Scheme A), and the other is to directly immerse the sensor in the analyte (Scheme B). The results demonstrate that our sensor exhibits higher wavelength sensitivity at Scheme A with a maximum wavelength sensitivity of 12,320 nm/RIU, while a greater amplitude sensitivity was found at Scheme B with a maximum amplitude sensitivity of 1146 RIU-1. Our proposed sensor features the advantages of simple fabrication, flexible operation, easy analyte filling and replacing, enhanced real-time detection capabilities, high RI detection, and very high wavelength sensitivity and amplitude sensitivity, which makes it more competitive in SPR sensing applications.

Abstract
A gold-coated Kretschmann setup has been constructed and explored as a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) platform, specifically tailored for the detection of low-concentration sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. The setup employs a BK7 prism coated with a 50 nm gold layer, serving as a plasmonic layer, to induce resonance. This resonance arises from the interplay between light waves and free electrons propagating at the interface of two media. The experimental findings reveal a notable resonance angle shift of 10° when the NaCl concentration is varied from 0 to 2.5 %. Furthermore, angle interrogation provides insightful details about the sensor's response to changes in the refractive index, showcasing a commendable sensitivity of 2400°/RIU, a high level of linearity at 0.9771, and an impressive resolution of 0.217 %. The demonstrated capabilities of this sensor underscore its potential for widespread applications, particularly in the monitoring of salt concentration across diverse domains such as seawater analysis, food processing, and fermentation processes. The robust performance and precision of this proposed sensor position it as a valuable tool with promising prospects for addressing the needs of various industries dependent on accurate salt concentration measurements.

Abstract
Surface plasmon (SP) excitation in metal-coated tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) has been a focal point for highly sensitive surface biosensing. Previous efforts focused on uniform metal layer deposition around the TFBG cross section and temperature self-compensation with the Bragg mode, requiring both careful control of the core-guided light polarization and interrogation over most of the C + L bands. To circumvent these two important practical limitations, we studied and developed an original platform based on partially coated TFBGs. The partial metal layer enables the generation of dual-comb resonances, encompassing highly sensitive (TM/EH mode families) and highly insensitive (TE/HE mode families) components in unpolarized transmission spectra. The interleaved comb of insensitive modes acts as wavelength and power references within the same spectral region as the SP-active modes. Despite reduced fabrication and measurement complexity, refractometric accuracy is not compromised through statistical averaging over seven individual resonances within a narrowband window of 10 nm. Consequently, measuring spectra over 60 nm is no longer needed to compensate for small temperature or power fluctuations. This sensing platform brings the following important practical assets: (1) a simpler fabrication process, (2) no need for polarization control, (3) limited bandwidth interrogation, and (4) maintained refractometric accuracy, which makes it a true game changer in the ever-growing plasmonic sensing domain.

Abstract
In this study, we report the successful development of a novel high-sensitivity intensity-based Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) biosensor and its application for detecting molecular interactions. By optimizing the excitation wavelength and employing a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) algorithm, the system can determine the optimal excitation wavelength based on the initial refractive index of the sample without adjusting the incidence angle. The experimental results demonstrate that the refractive index resolution of the system reaches 1.77×10-6 RIU. Moreover, it can obtain the optimal excitation wavelength for samples with an initial refractive index in the range of 1.333 to 1.370 RIU and accurately monitor variations within the range of 0.0037 RIU without adjusting the incidence angle. Additionally, our new SPRi technique realized real-time detection of high-throughput biomolecular binding processes, enabling analysis of kinetic parameters. This research is expected to advance the development of more accurate SPRi technologies for molecular interaction analysis.

Abstract
This study innovates plasmonic hydrogen sensors (PHSs) by applying phase space reconstruction (PSR) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), overcoming previous predictive and sensing limitations. Utilizing a low-cost and efficient colloidal lithography technique, palladium nanocap arrays are created and their spectral signals are transformed into images using PSR and then trained using CNNs for predicting the hydrogen level. The model achieves accurate predictions with average accuracies of 0.95 for pure hydrogen and 0.97 for mixed gases. Performance improvements observed are a reduction in response time by up to 3.7 times (average 2.1 times) across pressures, SNR increased by up to 9.3 times (average 3.9 times) across pressures, and LOD decreased from 16 Pa to an extrapolated 3 Pa, a 5.3-fold improvement. A practical application of remote hydrogen sensing without electronics in hydrogen environments is actualized and achieves a 0.98 average test accuracy. This methodology reimagines PHS capabilities, facilitating advancements in hydrogen monitoring technologies and intelligent spectrum-based sensing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A life-threatening anaphylactic shock can occur if a patient with undiagnosed immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency (i.e., IgA levels <500 ng/mL) receives IgA-containing blood, hence the need for a rapid, point-of-care (POC) method for IgA deficiency screening. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is routinely used to detect IgA, but this method requires trained specialists and ≥24 h to obtain a result. We developed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based protocol to identify IgA-deficient patients or donors within 1 h. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SPR sensor relies on the detection of IgAs captured by primary antibodies adsorbed on the SPR chip and quantified with secondary antibodies. The sensor was calibrated from 0 to 2000 ng/mL in buffer, IgA-depleted human serum, and plasma samples from IgA-deficient individuals. A critical concentration of 500 ng/mL was set for IgA deficiency. The optimized sensor was then tested on eight plasma samples with known IgA status (determined by ELISA), including five with IgA deficiency and three with normal IgA levels. RESULTS The limit of detection was estimated at 30 ng/mL in buffer and 400 ng/mL in diluted plasma. The results obtained fully agreed with ELISA among the eight plasma samples tested. The protocol distinguished IgA-deficient from normal samples, even for samples with an IgA concentration closer to critical concentration. DISCUSSION In conclusion, we developed a reliable POC assay for the quantification of IgA in plasma. This test may permit POC testing at blood drives and centralized centers to maintain reserves of IgA-deficient blood and in-hospital testing of blood recipients.

Abstract
SPR biosensors have been extensively used for investigating protein-protein interactions. However, in conventional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, detection is limited by the Brownian-motion-governed diffusion process of sample molecules in the sensor chip, which makes it challenging to detect biomolecule interactions at ultra-low concentrations. Here, we propose a highly sensitive SPR imaging biosensor which exploits the coffee ring effect (CRE) for in situ enrichment of molecules on the sensing surface. In addition, we designed a wavelength modulation system utilizing two LEDs to reduce the system cost and enhance the detection speed. Furthermore, a detection limit of 213 fM is achieved, which amounts to an approximately 365 times improvement compared to traditional SPR biosensors. With further development, we believe that this SPR imaging system with high sensitivity, less sample consumption, and faster detection speed can be readily applied to ultra-low-concentration molecular detection and interaction analysis.

Abstract
Surface plasmons, continuous and cumulative electron vibrations confined to metal-dielectric interfaces, play a pivotal role in aggregating optical fields and energies on nanostructures. This confinement exploits the intrinsic subwavelength nature of their spatial profile, significantly enhancing light-matter interactions. Metals, semiconductors, and 2D materials exhibit plasmonic resonances at diverse wavelengths, spanning from ultraviolet (UV) to far infrared, dictated by their unique properties and structures. Surface plasmons offer a platform for various light-matter interaction mechanisms, capitalizing on the orders-of-magnitude enhancement of the electromagnetic field within plasmonic structures. This enhancement has been substantiated through theoretical, computational, and experimental studies. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the plasmon-enhanced processes on metallic and metamaterial-based sensors, considering factors such as geometrical influences, resonating wavelengths, chemical properties, and computational methods. Our exploration extends to practical applications, encompassing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based planar waveguides, polymer-based biochip sensors, and LSPR-based fiber sensors. Ultimately, we aim to provide insights and guidelines for the development of next-generation, high-performance plasmonic technological devices.

Abstract
Accurate measurement and interpretation of serum levels of troponin (Tn) is a central part of the clinical workup of a patient presenting with chest pain suspicious for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Knowledge of the molecular characteristics of the troponin complex and test characteristics of troponin measurement assays allows for a deeper understanding of causes of false positive and false negative test results in myocardial injury. In this review, we discuss the molecular structure and functions of the constituent proteins of the troponin complex (TnT, TnC, and TnI); review the different isoforms of Tn and where they are from; survey the evolution of clinical Tn assays, ranging from first-generation to high-sensitivity (hs); provide a primer on statistical interpretation of assay results based on different clinical settings; and discuss potential causes of false results. We also summarize the advances in technologies that may lead to the development of future Tn assays, including the development of point of care assays and wearable Tn sensors for real-time continuous measurement.

PROGRESS IN BIOPHYSICS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 186:14-27. [PMID: 38052326 DOI: 10.1016/j.pbiomolbio.2023.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
Since ancient times, Tuberculosis (TB) has been a severe invasive illness that has been prevalent for thousands of years and is also known as "consumption" or phthisis. TB is the most common chronic lung bacterial illness in the world, killing over 2 million people each year, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). As per the reports of WHO, in spite of technology advancements, the average rate of decline in global TB infections from 2000-2018 was only 1.6% per year, and the worldwide reduction in TB deaths was only 11%. In addition, COVID-19 pandemic has reversed years of global progress in tackling TB with fewer diagnosed cases. The majority of undiagnosed patients of TB are found in low- and middle-income countries where the GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay and sputum smear microscopy have been approved by the WHO as reference procedures for quickly detecting TB. Biosensors, like other cutting-edge technologies, have piqued researchers' interest since they offer a quick and accurate way to identify MTB. Modern integrated technologies allow for the rapid, low-cost, and highly precise detection of analytes in extremely little amounts of sample by biosensors. Here in this review, we outlined the severity of tuberculosis (TB) and the most recent developments in the biosensors sector, as well as their various kinds and benefits for TB detection. The review also emphasizes how widespread TB is and how it needs accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

[PMID: 38254624 PMCID: PMC10813730 DOI: 10.3390/biom14010024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Intact Transition Epitope Mapping-One-step Non-covalent force Exploitation (ITEM-ONE) analysis reveals an assembled epitope on the surface of Pertuzumab, which is recognized by the anti-Pertuzumab affimer 00557_709097. It encompasses amino acid residues NSGGSIYNQRFKGR, which are part of CDR2, as well as residues FTLSVDR, which are located on the variable region of Pertuzumab's heavy chain and together form a surface area of 1381.46 Å2. Despite not being part of Pertuzumab's CDR2, the partial sequence FTLSVDR marks a unique proteotypic Pertuzumab peptide. Binding between intact Pertuzumab and the anti-Pertuzumab affimer was further investigated using the Intact Transition Epitope Mapping-Thermodynamic Weak-force Order (ITEM-TWO) approach. Quantitative analysis of the complex dissociation reaction in the gas phase afforded a quasi-equilibrium constant (KD m0g#) of 3.07 × 10-12. The experimentally determined apparent enthalpy (ΔHm0g#) and apparent free energy (ΔGm0g#) of the complex dissociation reaction indicate that the opposite reaction-complex formation-is spontaneous at room temperature. Due to strong binding to Pertuzumab and because of recognizing Pertuzumab's unique partial amino acid sequences, the anti-Pertuzumab affimer 00557_709097 is considered excellently suitable for implementation in Pertuzumab quantitation assays as well as for the accurate therapeutic drug monitoring of Pertuzumab in biological fluids.

Abstract
Uric acid is a waste product of the human body where high levels of it or hyperuricemia can lead to gout, kidney disease and other health issues. In this paper, Finite Difference Time Doman (FDTD) simulation method was used to develop a plasmonic optical sensor to detect uric acid with molarity ranging from 0 to 3.0 mM. A hybrid layer of gold-zinc oxide (Au-ZnO) was used in this Kretschmann-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (K-SPR) technique with angular interrogation at 670 nm and 785 nm visible optical wavelengths. The purpose of this study is to observe the ability of the hybrid material as a sensing performance enhancer for differentiating between healthy and unhealthy uric acid levels based on the refractive index values from previous study. Upon exposure to 670 nm wavelength, the average sensitivity of this sensor was found to be 0.028°/mM with a linearity of 98.67 % and Q-factor value of 0.0053 mM - 1 . While at 785 nm, the average sensitivity is equal to 0.0193°/mM with slightly lower linearity at 94.46 % and Q-factor value of 0.0076 mM - 1 . The results have proven the ability of hybrid material Au-ZnO as a sensing performance enhancer for detecting uric acid when compared with bare Au and can be further explored in experimental work.

Abstract
The detection and identification of clinical biomarkers with related sensitivity have become a source of considerable concern for biomedical analysis. There have been increasing efforts toward the development of single-molecule analytical platforms to overcome this concern. The latest developments in plasmonic nanomaterials include fascinating advances in energy, catalyst chemistry, optics, biotechnology, and medicine. Nanomaterials can be successfully applied to biomolecule and drug detection in plasmonic nanosensors for pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. Plasmonic-based sensing technology exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity depending on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomena. In this critical paper, we offer an overview of the methodology of the SPR, LSPR, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA), surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF), and plasmonic nanoplatforms advanced for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. First of all, we present here a brief discussion of the above trends. We have devoted the last section to the explanation of SPR, LSPR, SERS, SEIRA, and SEF platforms, which have found a wide range of applications, and reviewed recent advances for biomedical and pharmaceutical analysis.

Abstract
Waterborne viruses that can be harmful to human health pose significant challenges globally, affecting health care systems and the economy. Identifying these waterborne pathogens is essential for preventing diseases and protecting public health. However, handling complex samples such as human and wastewater can be challenging due to their dynamic and complex composition and the ultralow concentration of target analytes. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs in waterborne virus biosensors. It begins by highlighting several promising strategies that enhance the sensing performance of optical and electrochemical biosensors in human samples. These strategies include optimizing bioreceptor selection, transduction elements, signal amplification, and integrated sensing systems. Furthermore, the insights gained from biosensing waterborne viruses in human samples are applied to improve biosensing in wastewater, with a particular focus on sampling and sample pretreatment due to the dispersion characteristics of waterborne viruses in wastewater. This review suggests that implementing a comprehensive system that integrates the entire waterborne virus detection process with high-accuracy analysis could enhance virus monitoring. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the effectiveness of waterborne virus detection, which could have significant implications for public health and environmental management.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common male cancer and is attributable to over 375,000 deaths annually. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a key biomarker for PCa and therefore measuring patient PSA levels is an important aspect of the diagnostic pathway. Automated immunoassays are currently utilized for PSA analysis, but they require a laboratory setting with specialized equipment and trained personnel. This results in high diagnostic costs, extended therapeutic turnaround times, and restrictions on testing capabilities in resource-limited settings. Consequently, there is a strong drive to develop point-of-care (PoC) PSA tests that can offer accurate, low-cost, and rapid results at the time and place of the patient. However, many emerging PoC tests experience a trade-off between accuracy, affordability, and accessibility which distinctly limits their translational potential. This review comprehensively assesses the translational advantages and limitations of emerging laboratory-level and commercial PoC tests for PSA determination. Electrochemical and optical PSA sensors from 2013 to 2023 are systematically examined. Furthermore, we suggest how the translational potential of emerging tests can be optimized to achieve clinical implementation and thus improve PCa diagnosis globally.

Abstract
Wavelength interrogation surface plasmon resonance imaging (WSPRi) sensing has unique advantages in high-throughput imaging detection. The refractive index resolution (RIR) of WSPRi is limited to the order of 10-6 RIU. This paper demonstrates a novel WSPRi sensing system with a wavelength scanning device of an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) and a low-cost speckle-free SPR excitation source of a halogen lamp. We developed a sensitive quasi-phase extraction method for data processing. The new technique achieved an RIR of 8.84×10-7 RIU, which is the first WSPRi system that has an RIR in the order of 10-7 RIU. Moreover, we performed a real-time recording of the formation of the coffee ring effect during brine evaporation and enhanced the biosensor performance of SPR for the first time. We believe the higher RIR and accuracy of the system will benefit more potential applications toward exploring the biomolecules' behaviors in biological and biochemistry studies.

Abstract
In this work, a new D-shaped photonic crystal fibre sensor structure based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is purposed for measurement of analyte refractive index (RI). In this design, a silica cylinder is polished into a D-shaped silica material structure with a flattened surface where two Au nanowires are coated. Some air holes are omitted to form the core mode region. With the implementation of gold nanowires and a core region for the exciting SPR effect with variate physical values, analyte RI can be measured with a wavelength coverage from 850 to 1350nm. The numerical simulation shows the maximum wavelength sensitivity of the purposed design achieves 19,600nm/RIU with an RI coverage from 1.37 to 1.42. Moreover, the sensor has a tremendous amplitude sensitivity and the maximum absolute value is about 2300RIU-1. Benefiting from these outstanding performance, the purposed structure can be given priority when it is applied in biomedical detecting and environmental assessment science.

Abstract
A plasmonic nanostructure was constructed as a biorecognition element coupled to an optical sensing platform in sandwich format, targeting the hazelnut Cor a 14 allergen-encoding gene. The analytical performance of the genosensor presented a linear dynamic range between 100 amol L-1 and 1 nmol L-1, a limit of detection (LOD) < 19.9 amol L-1, and a sensitivity of 13.4 ± 0.6 m°. The genosensor was successfully hybridized with hazelnut PCR products, tested with model foods, and further validated by real-time PCR. It reached a LOD <0.001% (10 mg kg-1) of hazelnut in wheat material (corresponding to 1.6 mg kg-1 of protein) and a sensitivity of -17.2 ± 0.5 m° for a linear range of 0.001%-1%. Herein, a new genosensing approach is proposed as a highly sensitive and specific alternative tool with potential application in monitoring hazelnut as an allergenic food, protecting the health of sensitized/allergic individuals.

Abstract
Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) is a robust technique for visualizing refractive index changes, which enables researchers to observe interactions between nanoscale objects in an imaging manner. In the past period, scholars have been attracted by the Prism-Coupled and Non-prism Coupled configurations of SPRI and have published numerous experimental results. This review describes the principle of SPRI and discusses recent developments in Prism-Coupled and Non-prism Coupled SPRI techniques in detail, respectively. And then, major advances in biological applications of SPRI are reviewed, including four sub-fields (cells, viruses, bacteria, exosomes, and biomolecules). The purpose is to briefly summarize the recent advances of SPRI and provide an outlook on the development of SPRI in various fields.

Abstract
The paper presents the application of the acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy to measure the optical thickness of thin dielectric coatings. The technique presented uses combined angular and spectral interrogation modes to obtain the reflection coefficient under the condition of SPR. Surface electromagnetic waves were excited in the Kretschmann geometry, with the AOTF serving as a monochromator and polarizer of light from a white broadband radiation source. The experiments highlighted the high sensitivity of the method and the lower amount of noise in the resonance curves compared with the laser light source. This optical technique can be implemented for nondestructive testing in the production of thin films in not only the visible, but also the infrared and terahertz ranges.

Abstract
Biomarker detection in whole blood enables understanding of the cause, progression, relapse or outcome of treatment of a disease. Conventional biomarker detection techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polymerase chain reaction, and immunofluorescence, require long assay time, costly laboratory instruments, large reagent volume and sample pre-processing. Hence, there is an unmet need for reliable capture and detection of biomarkers in unprocessed blood which are adaptable to point-of-care (POC) testing. Here, we present a simple, low-cost, and rapid protein detection device from whole blood samples which has the potential to be employed in a POC setting. The platform consists of two components: a plasma separation device that extracts plasma from whole blood without the application of any external active forces and a SPR sensor chip that uses a label-free optical technique for the detection of biomarkers in the extracted plasma. We have demonstrated the detection of IgG and IgM biomolecules in unprocessed blood at concentrations lower than the physiological value within 15 min. The proposed technique has the potential for improving the diagnosis and screening of many diseases, including cancer, influenza, human immunodeficiency virus, and SARS-Cov2 at POC.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:515. [PMID: 36770476 PMCID: PMC9919535 DOI: 10.3390/nano13030515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors have been widely applied in many fields because of their advantages of working in real time and high sensitivity. However, because the spectrum of an SPR sensor is easily affected by the smoothness of the metal surface, this type of sensor has obvious disadvantages in the application of quantitative detection. We designed an SPR refractive index sensor for molecular detection that has the advantage of quantifiability. A ratio spectral quantitative analysis method was established based on the two coherent dips of the SPR spectrum formed by the strong coupling effect between the surface plasmon polaritons and the excitons of the J-aggregate molecule 5,6-dichloro-2-[3-[5,6-dichloro-1-ethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2-benzimidazoline subunit] propenyl]-3-ethyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl) benzimidazole hydroxide inner salt (TDBC). The introduced MoS2/graphene van der Waals heterojunction produced an effective charge transfer to the Ag film, resulting in significant electric field enhancement at the sensing interface and further improving the detection sensitivity of the sensor. The simulation results showed that for 43 nm Ag film, for example, the ratiometric SPR sensor with the Ag film structure can obtain 16.12 RIU-1 sensing sensitivity, applied to the detection of gas molecules, while the SPR sensor with single-layer graphene and three layers of MoS2 heterostructures can obtain 50.68 RIU-1 sensing sensitivity. The addition of van der Waals heterostructures can significantly improve sensing performance by 215%.

Abstract
Nature's seemingly controlled chaos in heterogeneous two-dimensional cell membranes stands in stark contrast to the precise, often homogeneous, environment in an experimentalist's flask or carefully designed material system. Yet cell membranes can play a direct role, or serve as inspiration, in all fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Our understanding of these ubiquitous structures continues to evolve despite over a century of study largely driven by the application of new technologies. Here, we review the insight afforded by second harmonic generation (SHG), a nonlinear optical technique. From potential measurements to adsorption and diffusion on both model and living systems, SHG complements existing techniques while presenting a large exploratory space for new discoveries.

Abstract
Aluminum nanoparticles attract scientific interest as a promising low-cost material with strong plasmon resonance in the ultraviolet region, which can be used in various fields of photonics. In this paper, for the first time, ultraviolet luminescence of zinc oxide nanoparticles in colloid solutions and nanostructure films in the presence of plasmonic aluminum nanoparticles 60 nm in size with a metal core and an aluminum oxide shell were studied. Mixture colloids of ZnO and Al nanoparticles in isopropyl alcohol solution with concentrations from 0.022 to 0.44 g/L and 0.057 to 0.00285 g/L, correspondingly, were investigated. The enhancement of up to 300% of ZnO emission at 377 nm in colloids mixtures with metal nanoparticles due to formation of Al-ZnO complex agglomerates was achieved. Plasmon nanostructures with different configurations of layers, such as Al on the surface of ZnO, ZnO on Al, sandwich-like structure and samples prepared from a colloidal mixture of ZnO and Al nanoparticles, were fabricated by microplotter printing. We demonstrated that photoluminescence can be boosted 2.4-fold in nanostructures prepared from a colloidal mixture of ZnO and Al nanoparticles, whereas the sandwich-like structure gave only 1.1 times the amplification of luminescence. Calculated theoretical models of photoluminescence enhancement of ideal and weak emitters near aluminum nanoparticles of different sizes showed comparable results with the obtained experimental data.

Abstract
The transformation of an hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cell (aSiH) into an optoelectronic refratometric sensor has been possible through the addition of dielectric bow-tie resonant structures. The indium transparent oxide top electrode is replaced by a thin metallic layer to selectively prevent the direct transmission of light to the active layer of the cell. Then, an array of dielectric bow-tie structures is placed on top of this electrode, to activate the optical absorption through surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The whole device is exposed to the analyte under measure, which is the surrounding medium. Three different dielectric materials with low, medium, and high refractive index were selected for the bow-ties, namely magnesium fluoride (MgF[Formula: see text]), silicon dioxide (SiO[Formula: see text]), and aluminum nitride (AlN) have been tested as coupling structure for SPR excitation. The maximization of the readout/short circuit current has been achieved through the geometrical parameters of such structure. We have selected the geometrical parameters to maximize the short circuit current delivered by the a-Si cell at a given selected wavelength. The design has been customized to gas measurements application, where the index of refraction is slightly above 1 around 10[Formula: see text]. Our analysis reveals ultra-high sensitivity of [Formula: see text] (mA/W)/RIU, and a figure of merit FOM= 107 RIU[Formula: see text], when the bow-tie is made of SiO[Formula: see text]. A performance rally competitive with those previously reported in literature, with the additional advantage of circunventing both moving parts and spectral interrogation elements.

Abstract
The medical fraternity is currently burgeoned and stressed with a huge rush of patients who have inflammatory conditions, metabolite diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. In these circumstances, advanced sensing technologies could have a huge impact on the quality of life of patients. Given plasmonic resonance effects significantly improve the ability to rapidly and accurately detect biological markers, plasmonic technology is harnessed to develop a fast and accurate diagnosis that can provide timely intervention with the diseases and can also aid the recovery process by complementing the therapy stage. In this short review, we provide an overlook of how the field of plasmonic sensing has revolutionized the field of medical diagnostics. This article reviews the fundamentals and development of plasmonics. In addition, we highlight the sensitivity of various SPR and LSPR sensors. The chemistry for functionalizing plasmonic sensors is also discussed. This review also outlines some general suggestions for future directions that we feel might be useful to advance our understanding of the universe or speed up the development of plasmonic sensors in the future.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of nucleic acid plays a vital role in the clinical treatment of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB). However, false-negative and false-positive results caused by base mismatches could affect the detection accuracy. Inspired by the unique property of CRISPR/Cas9, we proposed a new MSPQC M.TB sensor based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system, which can distinguish single-base mismatches in 10 bases from the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) region. In the proposed sensor, single-stranded DNA on Au interdigital electrodes was used as a capture probe for the target and an initiator for hybridization chain reaction (HCR). HCR was used to generate long double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which could span the Au interdigital electrodes. CRISPR/Cas9 was used as recognition components to recognize capture/target dsDNA. When the target existed, the capture probe hybridized with the target to form dsDNA, which could be recognized and cut by CRISPR/Cas9. Thus, the DNA connection between electrodes was cut off and resulted in the MSPQC response. When no target existed, the capture probe remained single-stranded and could not be recognized and cut by CRISPR/Cas9. Therefore, DNA connection between electrodes was reserved. Moreover, silver staining technology was utilized to improve the sensitivity of detection. M.TB was detected by the proposed sensor using specific sequence fragments of 16S rRNA of M.TB as the target. The detection time was down to 2.3 h. The limit of detection (LOD) was 30 CFU/mL.

Abstract
A terahertz surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is designed based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Graphene is selectively coated in the cladding hole of the PCF and used as plasmonic material. The coupling mechanism, loss properties, tunability, and refractive index sensing performance of the designed SPR sensor are investigated using the finite element method. The peak of the loss spectrum corresponding to the SPR frequency can be dynamically tuned by adjusting graphene's chemical potential, and a tuning sensitivity of 767.5 GHz/eV is obtained. The SPR frequency red shifts linearly with an increase in the refractive index of analyte from 1.0 to 1.5. An average frequency sensitivity of 208.14 GHz/RIU is obtained. This research provides theoretical guidance for the design of terahertz in-fiber SPR sensors and filters.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanoscale fabrication and characterization further accelerated research on photonics and plasmonics, which has already attracted long-standing interest. Alongside morphological constraints, phenomena in both fields highly depend on the materials’ optical properties, dimensions, and surroundings. Building up the required knowledge and experience to design next-generation photonic devices can be a complex task for novice and experienced researchers who intend to evaluate the impact of subtle material and morphology variations while setting up experiments or getting a general overview. Here, we introduce the Photonic Materials Cloud (PMCloud), a web-based, interactive open tool for designing and analyzing photonic materials. PMCloud allows identification of the subtle differences between optical material models generated from a database, experimental data input, and inline-generated materials from various analytical models. Furthermore, it provides a fully interactive interface to evaluate their performance in important fundamental (numerical) optical experiments. We demonstrate PMCloud’s applicability to state-of-the-art research questions, namely the comparison of the novel plasmonic materials aluminium-doped zinc oxide and zirconium nitride and the design of an optical, dielectric thin-film Bragg reflector. PMCloud opens a rapid, freely accessible path towards prototyping optical materials and simple fundamental devices and may serve as an educational platform for photonic materials research.

Abstract
Several illnesses that are chronic and acute are becoming more relevant as the world's aging population expands, and the medical sector is transforming rapidly, as a consequence of which the need for "point-of-care" (POC), identification/detection, and real time management of health issues that have been required for a long time are increasing. Biomarkers are biological markers that help to detect status of health or disease. Biosensors' applications are for screening for early detection, chronic disease treatment, health management, and well-being surveillance. Smart devices that allow continual monitoring of vital biomarkers for physiological health monitoring, medical diagnosis, and assessment are becoming increasingly widespread in a variety of applications, ranging from biomedical to healthcare systems of surveillance and monitoring. The term "smart" is used due to the ability of these devices to extract data with intelligence and in real time. Wearable, implantable, ingestible, and portable devices can all be considered smart devices; this is due to their ability of smart interpretation of data, through their smart sensors or biosensors and indicators. Wearable and portable devices have progressed more and more in the shape of various accessories, integrated clothes, and body attachments and inserts. Moreover, implantable and ingestible devices allow for the medical diagnosis and treatment of patients using tiny sensors and biomedical gadgets or devices have become available, thus increasing the quality and efficacy of medical treatments by a significant margin. This article summarizes the state of the art in portable, wearable, ingestible, and implantable devices for health status monitoring and disease management and their possible applications. It also identifies some new technologies that have the potential to contribute to the development of personalized care. Further, these devices are non-invasive in nature, providing information with accuracy and in given time, thus making these devices important for the future use of humanity.

Abstract
We theoretically designed the Kretschmann configuration coupled plasmon-waveguide resonance (CPWR) sensors, composed of thin films of metal nitrides. The thicknesses of the layers of the CPWR sensors were optimized using a genetic algorithm. The optimized CPWR sensors were applied to simultaneously measure the thickness and refractive index (RI) of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. The field profiles and the sensitivity of the CPWR sensors in response to thin DLC films were studied using the finite-different time-domain technique and the transfer matrix method. The genetic algorithm method predicted that the two-mode CPWR sensors could simultaneously analyze the thickness and RI of the DLC films as thin as 1.0 nm at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The simulations showed that the angular sensitivity toward the refractive index changes of the DLC films of the optimized CPWR sensors was comparable to that of traditional CPWR sensors.

Abstract
Water quality monitoring has become more critical in recent years to ensure the availability of clean and safe water from natural aquifers and to understand the evolution of water contaminants across time and space. The conventional water monitoring techniques comprise of sample collection, preservation, preparation, tailed by laboratory testing and analysis with cumbersome wet chemical routes and expensive instrumentation. Despite the high accuracy of these methods, the high testing costs, laborious procedures, and maintenance associated with them don't make them lucrative for end end-users and field testing. As the participation of ultimate stakeholders, that is, common man for water quality and quantity can play a pivotal role in ensuring the sustainability of our aquifers, thus it is essential to develop and deploy portable and user-friendly technical systems for monitoring water sources in real-time or on-site. The present review emphasizes here on possible approaches including optical (absorbance, fluorescence, colorimetric, X-ray fluorescence, chemiluminescence), electrochemical (ASV, CSV, CV, EIS, and chronoamperometry), electrical, biological, and surface-sensing (SPR and SERS), as candidates for developing such platforms. The existing developments, their success, and bottlenecks are discussed in terms of various attributes of water to escalate the essentiality of water quality devices development meeting ASSURED criterion for societal usage. These platforms are also analyzed in terms of their market potential, advancements required from material science aspects, and possible integration with IoT solutions in alignment with Industry 4.0 for environmental application.

Abstract
SPR is a mature optical biosensor technology for detecting biomolecular interactions without fluorescence or enzyme labeling. In this paper, we acquire a sensitive SPR biosensor based on ZnO@Au nanomaterial, and the classical sandwich strategy using biotin-streptavidin for secondary signal amplification system was used to detect human IgG (hIgG). Nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) has the dual characteristics of nanocomposite and traditional zinc oxide, with large specific surface area and high chemical activity. Besides, the gold-coated ZnO nanocrystals improve the optical properties of ZnO and enlarge the loading capacity with better biocompatibility. Therefore, a sensing platform based on PDA-ZnO@Au nanomaterial was constructed on gold film modified with mercaptan. Meanwhile, the biotin-avidin system in SPR sensor field has been rapidly developed and applied. Due to the highly selection of streptavidin (SA) and biotin interact with each other, GNRs-SA-biotin-Ab2 (GSAB-Ab2) were constructed to obtain the secondary enhancement of SPR signal. The influences of experimental conditions were also discussed. With optimal experimental conditions, introducing GSAB-Ab2 conjugate combined with a sandwich format, the resulting SPR biosensor provides a favourable range for hIgG determination of 0.0375-40 μg mL-1. The minimum detection concentration of hIgG that can be obtained by this method is approximately 67-fold lower than the conventional SPR sensor based on gold film. The sensitivity of SPR biosensor is significantly improved in a certain range.

Abstract
In the past decade, strong coupling between light and matter has transitioned from a theoretical idea to an experimental reality. This represents a new field of quantum light–matter interaction, which makes the coupling strength comparable to the transition frequencies in the system. In addition, the achievement of multimode strong coupling has led to such applications as quantum information processing, lasers, and quantum sensors. This paper introduces the theoretical principle of multimode strong coupling based on surface plasmons and reviews the research related to the multimode interactions between light and matter. Perspectives on the future development of plasmonic multimode coupling are also discussed.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) infection is one of the leading causes of death in the world. According to WHO reports 2019, the average rate of decrease in global TB incidences was only 1.6% per year from 2000 to 2018, besides that the global decline in TB deaths was just 11%. Therefore, the dire need for early detection of the pathogen for the successful diagnosis of TB seems justified. Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretory proteins have gained more attention as TB biomarkers, for the early diagnosis and treatment of TB. Here in this review, we elaborate on the recent advancements made in the field of piezoelectric, magnetic, optical, and electrochemical biosensors, in addition to listing their merits and setbacks. Additionally, this review also discusses the construction of biosensors through modern integrated technologies, such as combinations of analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and nanotechnology. Integrated technologies enhance the detection for perceiving highly selective, specific, and sensitive signals to detect M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, this review highlights the recent challenges and scope of improvement in numerous biosensors developed for rapid, specific, selective, and sensitive detection of tuberculosis to reduce the TB burden and successful treatment.

Abstract
The sensing performance of two types of electromagnetic surface waves are compared, a Surface Plasmon Polariton, where a gold thin film is used, being a standard material in biosensing applications; and a Bloch Surface Wave, using a photonic crystal made of a stack of silica and titanium dioxide layers. It is verified that the sensing performance (as measured by the Figure of Merit) of the gold film is higher, even though the Bloch Surface Waves can serve specific applications due to its narrow bandwidth. At the same time, it is concluded that further research must be made in order to choose the right set of parameters that maximize the Bloch Surface Wave performance.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are particularly dangerous due to their ability to remain in the environment for a long period of time and their toxic effects. They enter in the environment in different ways, such as waste from paper manufacturing, agriculture (pesticides, insecticides, herbicides), pharmaceuticals, the petrochemical industry, and coal processing. Conventional methods for phenolic compounds detection present some disadvantages, such as cumbersome sample preparation, complex and time-consuming procedures, and need of expensive equipment. Therefore, there is a very large interest in developing sensors and new sensing schemes for fast and easy-to-use methods for detecting and monitoring the phenolic compound concentration in the environment, with special attention to water. Good analytical properties, reliability, and adaptability are required for the developed sensors. The present paper aims at revising the most generally used optical methods for designing and fabricating biosensors and sensors for phenolic compounds. Some selected examples of the most interesting applications of these techniques are also proposed.

Abstract
LSD1 was the first histone demethylase identified by Professor Shi Yang and his team members in 2004. LSD1 employs FAD as its cofactor, which catalyzes the demethylation of H3K4 and H3K9. It is aberrantly overexpressed in different types of cancers and is associated with the growth, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. The knockout or inhibition of LSD1 could effectively suppress tumor development, and thus, it has become an attractive molecular target for cancer therapy. Moreover, many LSD1 inhibitors have been developed in preclinical and clinical trials to treat solid tumors and hematological malignancy. This study made an extensive review of the research obtained from the literature retrieval of electronic databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, RCSB PDB, ClinicalTrials.gov, and EU clinical trials register. This review summarizes recent studies on the advances of LSD1 inhibitors in the literature, covering January 2015 to June 2021. It focuses on the function of LSD1 in tumor cells, summarizes the crystal structures of homo sapiens LSD1, reviews the structural characteristics of LSD1 inhibitors, compares the screening methods of LSD1 inhibitors, and proposes guidelines for the future exploitation of LSD1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an attention-grabbing sensor type, which offers the sensitive and selective detection of biomolecules and environmentally toxic substances. Notably, the SPR sensor gives excellent rewards including real-time, in-situ, and label-free measuring capability as compared to existing sensing technologies. As a result, these noteworthy merits of the SPR sensor make it straightforward to investigate the molecular events and chemical/gas molecule interaction. Unfortunately, there are different binding events including smaller molecular mass substances, which cannot be detected at the SPR sensor. Accordingly, this downside of the SPR sensor eventually led to the design and implementation of new approaches for sensitivity and selectivity improvement for sensing applications in different fields. Recently, the black phosphorus (BP) derived 2 D nanomaterial is stand out as a distinctive nanostructure in comparison to recently reported other 2 D nanomaterials. Substantial and functional characteristics of BP including simplicity of operation, optical properties, high carrier mobility, stronger immobilization of receptors and biomolecules, electronic bridging playing important role in the highly selective and sensitive assessment of analyte. The designed BP nanostructures are mostly serving to accelerate the plasmon material signals followed by improved molecular sensing that may due to 40-times faster-sensing responses of BP nanostructure than reported 2 D nanomaterials. Therefore, the present review article sheds light on the latest significant advances in biological and toxic gas detection through 2D BP nanostructures based SPR sensors. In the future, this review will facilitate detailed insights into the development of BP-based groundbreaking frameworks for highly sensitive and selective recognition of biomolecules and environmental pollutants.
