Ultrasensitive transglutaminase based nanosensor for early detection of celiac disease in human

Electrochemical biosensors for dopamine

Dopamine (DA), a key catecholamine, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of human cognition and emotions. It has profound effects on the hormonal, memory, and cardiovascular systems. Anomalies like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, schizophrenia, and senile dementia are linked to abnormal DA levels. Consequently, the precise determination of DA levels in biological systems is critical for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. Among all analytical techniques, electrochemical studies provide the most selective and highly sensitive methods for detecting DA in biological samples. Ascorbic acid and uric acid are two examples of small biomolecules that can obstruct the detection of DA in biological fluids. To address this issue, numerous attempts have been made to modify bare electrodes to separate the signals of these substances and enhance the electrocatalytic activity towards DA. Various surface modifiers, including coatings, conducting polymers, ionic liquids, nanomaterials, and inorganic complexes, have been employed in the modification process. Despite the reported success in DA detection using electrochemical sensors, many of these approaches are deemed too complex and costly for real-world applications. Therefore, this review aims to provide an overview of DA electrochemical biosensors that are practical for real-world applications.

Biosensors for the detection of celiac disease

Celiac disease (CeD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by sensitivity to gluten, a protein complex found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gliadins, a component of gluten, are proteins that trigger an immune response in individuals with CeD, primarily affecting the small intestine's inner lining. Despite a 1-1.5% prevalence, only 24% of cases are diagnosed due to non-specific symptoms. Screening is advised for high-risk groups, including first-degree relatives and type 1 diabetes patients. The accurate diagnosis of this condition and the assessment of the patient's response to the current treatment - a lifelong gluten-free diet - necessitate using dependable, swift, sensitive, specific, uncomplicated, and affordable analytical methods. Detecting CeD biomarkers in whole blood, serum, or plasma provides a non-invasive approach that serves as an ideal initial diagnostic step. Biosensors offer a novel and alternative way for CeD detection, began emerging in 2007, and hold promise for clinical and point-of-care applications. This review explores the use of biomarker-based diagnostic approaches for CeD, with a focus on biosensors. It delves into the progress of biosensors for CeD diagnosis, identifying trends and challenges in this evolving field. Key biomarkers are highlighted, offering insights into the evolving landscape of biosensors in CeD detection.

Electrochemical detection of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody using quantum dots-doped polypyrrole-modified electrode

A nanohybrid-modified glassy carbon electrode based on conducting polypyrrole doped with carbon quantum dots (QDs) was developed and used for the electrochemical detection of anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies. To improve the polypyrrole conductivity, carrier mobility, and carrier concentration, four types of carbon nanoparticles were tested. Furthermore, a polypyrrole-modified electrode doped with QDs was functionalized with a PAMAM dendrimer and transglutaminase 2 protein by cross-linking with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)/N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). The steps of electrode surface modification were surveyed via electrochemical measurements (differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)). The surface characteristics were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. The obtained modified electrode exhibited good stability and repeatability. DPV between - 0.1 and 0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl 3 M KCl reference electrode) was used to evaluate the electrochemical alterations that occur after the antibody interacts with the antigen (transglutaminase 2 protein), for which the limit of detection was 0.79 U/mL. Without the use of a secondary label, (anti-tTG) antibodies may be detected at low concentrations because of these modified electrode features.

It also exhibited satisfactory selectivity, reproducibility, and stability, which provided the possibility for expanding new pathways in the detection of clinical FR.

Understanding of Colistin Usage in Food Animals and Available Detection Techniques: A Review

Progress in the medical profession is determined by the achievements and effectiveness of new antibiotics in the treatment of microbial infections. However, the development of multiple-drug resistance in numerous bacteria, especially Gram-negative bacteria, has limited the treatment options. Due to this resistance, the resurgence of cyclic polypeptide drugs like colistin remains the only option. The drug, colistin, is a well-known growth inhibitor of Gram-negative bacteria like Acinetobacter baumanni, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Technological advancements have uncovered the role of the mcr-1(mobilized colistin resistance) gene, which is responsible for the development of resistance in Gram-negative bacteria, which make them distinct from other bacteria without this gene. Additionally, food animals have been determined to be the reservoir for colistin resistance microbes, from which they spread to other hosts. Due to the adverse effects of colistin, many developed countries have prohibited its usage in animal foods, but developing countries are still using colistin in animal food production, thereby imposing a major risk to the public health. Therefore, there is a need for implementation of sustainable measures in livestock farms to prevent microbial infection. This review highlights the negative effects (increased resistance) of colistin consumption and emphasizes the different approaches used for detecting colistin in animal-based foods as well as the challenges associated with its detection.

Diagnosis of scrub typhus: recent advancements and challenges

Scrub typhus is a mite-borne, acute febrile illness caused by the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is a re-emerging infectious disease of the tsutsugamushi triangle. Scrub typhus is transmitted through bites of contaminated chiggers (larval stage). Diagnosis of scrub typhus is challenging as its symptoms mimic with other acute febrile illnesses. Several methods are effectual for diagnosis of scrub typhus that includes enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence assay (IFA), immunochromatographic test (ICT), Weil-Felix, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Weil-Felix test was initially used for the diagnosis of scrub typhus in underdeveloped countries but not preferred due to a lack of both specificity and sensitivity. Other immuno-based methods like IFA and ELISA are most outrank for detection of scrub typhus due to their higher sensitivity and specificity, but not vigorous to lay bare the infection at early stages and need the convalescent sampling for verification of positive samples. On another deed, PCR based methods becoming acceptable over era due to its dexterity of early-stage diagnosis with higher specificity and sensitivity but lack its applicability in circumstances of scrub typhus due to the variegated genetic makeup of Orientia tsutsugamushi among its serotypes. The present review focused on various detection methods along with their advantages and disadvantages used in the diagnosis of scrub typhus. A comparison between available methods of diagnosis with challenges in the detection of scrub typhus is also summarized.

Electrochemical Immunosensor Based on Nanoelectrode Ensembles for the Serological Analysis of IgG-type Tissue Transglutaminase

Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten-dependent autoimmune disorder affecting a significant percentage of the general population, with increasing incidence particularly for children. Reliable analytical methods suitable for the serological diagnosis of the disorder are urgently required for performing both the early diagnosis and the follow-up of a patient adhering to a gluten-free diet. Herein we report on the preparation and application of a novel electrochemical immunosensor based on the use of ensembles of gold nanoelectrodes (NEEs) for the detection of anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG), which is considered one reliable serological marker for CD. To this end, we take advantage of the composite nature of the nanostructured surface of membrane-templated NEEs by functionalizing the polycarbonate surface of the track-etched membrane with tissue transglutaminase. Incubation of the functionalized NEE in anti-tTG samples results in the capture of the anti-tTG antibody. Confirmation of the recognition event is achieved by incubating the NEE with a secondary antibody labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP): in the presence of H₂O₂ as substrate and hydroquinone as redox mediator, an electrocatalytic current is indeed generated whose increment is proportional to the amount of anti-tTG captured from the sample. The optimized sensor allows a detection limit of 1.8 ng mL⁻¹, with satisfactory selectivity and reproducibility. Analysis of serum samples from 28 individuals, some healthy and some affected by CD, furnished analytical results comparable with those achieved by classical fluoroenzyme immunoassay (FEIA). We note that the NEE-based immunosensor developed here detects the IgG isotype of anti-tTG, while FEIA detects the IgA isotype, which is not a suitable diagnostic marker for IgA-deficient patients.
