Abstract
Fluid biopsy technology, characterized by its minimally invasive nature, speed, and continuity, has become a rapidly advancing and widely applied real-time diagnostic technique. Among various biomarkers, proteins represent the most abundant class of disease indicators. The sensitive and accurate detection of protein markers in bodily fluids is significantly influenced by the control exerted by recognition ligands. Aptamers, which are structurally dynamic functional oligonucleotides, exhibit high affinity, specific recognition of targets, and notable characteristics of high editability and modularity. These features make aptamer universal "recognition-capture" components, contribute to a significant leap in their applications within the biosensor domain. In this context, we provide a comprehensive review of the extensive application of aptamer-based biosensors in fluid biopsy. We systematically compile the characteristics and construction strategies of aptamer-based biosensors tailored for fluid biopsy, including aptamer sequences, affinity (KD), fluid background, sensing technologies, sensor construction strategies, incubation time, detection performance, and influencing factors. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of their advantages and disadvantages was conducted. In conclusion, we delineate and deliberate on prospective research trajectories and challenges that lie ahead in the realm of aptamer-based biosensors for fluid biopsy.

Abstract
A ZnCr-LDH@g-CN composite was synthesized through a one-pot hydrothermal method to fabricate an effective sensor for detecting vanillin. The prepared material was investigated by using structural and physical studies. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with applied potential (Epa = + 0.68 V vs Ag/AgCl) were used to examine the electrochemical behavior of vanillin. The fabricated electrode exhibited a linear detection range of 0.001-143.2 μM, a low detection limit of 0.9 nM, sensitivity of 4.72 µA µM-1 cm-2, selectivity, stability, reproducibility (RSD = 4.40%), and repeatability (RSD = 4.46%). The optimized sensor was successfully applied to detect vanillin in real samples, including ice cream, chocolate, and water, and their recovery was 98.46-99.80%. Overall, the ZnCr-LDH@g-CN composite sensor offers a promising solution for precise vanillin detection.

State-of-the-art advancement of surface functionalized layered double hydroxides for cell-specific targeting of therapeutics. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 314:102869. [PMID: 36933542 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.102869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
Over the years, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) hold a specific position in biomedicine due to their tunable chemical composition and appropriate structural properties. However, LDHs lack adequate sensitivity for active targeting because of less active surface area and low mechanical strength in physiological conditions. The exploitation of eco-friendly materials, such as chitosan (CS), for surface engineering of LDHs, whose payloads are transferred only under certain conditions, can help develop stimuli-responsive materials owing to high biosafety and unique mechanical strength. We aim to render a well-oriented scenario toward the latest achievements of a bottom-up technology relying on the surface functionalization of LDHs to fabricate functional formulations with promoted bio-functionality and high encapsulation efficiency for various bioactives. Many efforts have been devoted to critical aspects of LDHs, including systemic biosafety and the suitability for developing multicomponent systems via integration with therapeutic modalities, which are thoroughly discussed herein. In addition, a comprehensive discussion was provided for the recent progress in the emergence of CS-coated LDHs. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in the fabrication of efficient CS-LDHs in biomedicine are considered, with a special focus on cancer treatment.

Fabrication of a novel electrochemical biosensor based on a molecular imprinted polymer-aptamer hybrid receptor for lysozyme determination. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:899-911. [PMID: 36544030 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04487-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a novel, sensitive, and rapid electrochemical biosensor was employed to detect lysozyme (Lys) using a double receptor of molecular imprinted polymer (MIP)-aptamer. First, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with a nanocomposite consisting of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs), and chitosan. Subsequently, aptamer (Apt)-Lys complex was immobilized on MWCNTs-N-CQDs-chitosan/GCE via binding between carboxyl groups present in the nanocomposite and the terminal amine groups of the aptamer. Following that, methylene blue monomer was electrochemically polymerized around the Apt-Lys complex on the MWCNTs-N-CQDs-chitosan/GCE surface. Finally, after the template removal, the remaining cavities along with the aptamers created a new hybrid receptor of MIP-aptamer. The MWCNTs-N-CQDs-chitosan nanocomposite could provide large amounts of carboxyl groups for binding to amino-functionalized aptamers, considerable electrical conductivity, and a high surface-to-volume ratio. These beneficial features facilitated the Apt-Lys complex immobilization and gave improved electrochemical signal. The obtained MIP-aptamer hybrid receptor allowed lysozyme determination even at concentrations as low as 4.26 fM within the functional range of 1 fM to 100 nM.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are appealing nanomaterials for (bio)medical applications and their potential is threefold. One can gain advantage of the structure of LDH frame (i.e., layered morphology), anion exchanging property towards drugs with acidic character and tendency for facile surface modification with biopolymers. This review focuses on the third aspect, as it is necessary to evaluate the advantages of polymer adsorption on LDH surfaces. Beside the short discussion on fundamental and structural features of LDHs, LDH-biopolymer interactions will be classified in terms of the effect on the colloidal stability of the dispersions. Thereafter, an overview on the biocompatibility and biomedical applications of LDH-biopolymer composite materials will be given. Finally, the advances made in the field will be summarized and future research directions will be suggested.

Abstract
Thrombin is a serine protease with an essential role in homeostasis and blood coagulation. During vascular injuries, thrombin is generated from prothrombin, a plasma protein, to polymerize fibrinogen molecules into fibrin filaments. Moreover, thrombin is a potent stimulant for platelet activation, which causes blood clots to prevent bleeding. The rapid and sensitive detection of thrombin is important in biological analysis and clinical diagnosis. Hence, various biosensors for thrombin measurement have been developed. Biosensors are devices that produce a quantifiable signal from biological interactions in proportion to the concentration of a target analyte. An aptasensor is a biosensor in which a DNA or RNA aptamer has been used as a biological recognition element and can identify target molecules with a high degree of sensitivity and affinity. Designed biosensors could provide effective methods for the highly selective and specific detection of thrombin. This review has attempted to provide an update of the various biosensors proposed in the literature, which have been designed for thrombin detection. According to their various transducers, the constructions and compositions, the performance, benefits, and restrictions of each are summarized and compared.

Abstract
Thrombin plays a central role in hemostasis and its imbalances in coagulation can lead to various pathologies. It is of clinical significance to develop a fast and accurate method for the quantitative detection of thrombin. Electrochemical aptasensors have the capability of combining the specific selectivity from aptamers with the extraordinary sensitivity from electrochemical techniques and thus have attracted considerable attention for the trace-level detection of thrombin. Nanomaterials and nanostructures can further enhance the performance of thrombin aptasensors to achieve high sensitivity, selectivity, and antifouling functions. In highlighting these material merits and their impacts on sensor performance, this paper reviews the most recent advances in label-free electrochemical aptasensors for thrombin detection, with an emphasis on nanomaterials and nanostructures utilized in sensor design and fabrication. The performance, advantages, and limitations of those aptasensors are summarized and compared according to their material structures and compositions.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) as common late-life dementia is pathologically associated with the irreversible and progressive disorder, misfolding, deposition, and accumulation of the brain proteins. Especially, the formation of fibrous amyloid plaques by aggregation of amyloid-β peptides is the pathological cause of this neurologic disorder disease. Besides, tau protein isoforms destabilize the microtubule filaments through post-translational modifications and induce nerve cells' death. Amyloid-β peptides and tau proteins are considered as the critical symptom and reliable molecular biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AD. AD is characterized by impaired thinking proficiencies, cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral disability. Since there is no efficacious therapy for AD at present, the development of precise sensing tools for the early diagnosis of this disease is essential and crucial. Aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have acquired utmost importance in the field of AD healthcare, due to excellent sensitivity and specificity, ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness, portability, and rapid assay time. Here, we highlight the recent developments and novel perspectives in the field of aptasensor design to quantitatively monitor the AD biomarkers. Finally, some results are represented to achieve a promising viewpoint for introducing the novel aptasensor test kits in the future.

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