Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide due to the inability of existing methods for early diagnosis. Tumor-derived exosomes are nano-scale vesicles released from tumor cells to the extracellular environment, and their investigation can be very useful in both biomarkers for early cancer screening and treatment assessment. This research detected the exosomes via an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor containing gold nano-islands (Au-NIs) structures. This way, a high surface-area-to-volume ratio of nanostructures was embellished on the FTO electrodes to increase the chance of immobilizing the CD-151 antibody. In this way, a layer of gold was first deposited on the electrode by physical vapor deposition (PVD), followed by thermal annealing to construct primary gold seeds on the surface of the electrode. Then, gold seeds were grown by electrochemical deposition through gold salt. The cell-derived exosomes were successfully immobilized on the FTO electrode through the CD-151 antibody, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods were used in this research. In the CV method, the change in the current passing through the working electrode is measured so that the connection of exosomes causes the current to decrease. In the EIS method, surface resistance changes were investigated so that the binding of exosomes increased the surface resistance. Various concentrations of exosomes in both cell culture and blood serum samples were measured to test the sensitivity of the biosensor, which makes our biosensor capable of detecting 20 exosomes per milliliter.

Abstract
Given that exosomes released from cancer cells carry various tumor-specific proteins on their surface, they have emerged as a source of biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. However, developing accurate and reliable assays to detect exosomes in the early stages of disease with low abundance and complex systems remains challenging. Here, the prepared PDIG film has the ability to sense multiple signals from a single stimulus, in which the presence of cobalt(II) chloride and deep eutectic solvents (DES) endows PDIG with thermochromic and thermosensitive properties. Concretely, the PDIG served as the recognition interface in series with a bipolar electrode (BPE) that exhibits a highly sensitive color and conductivity response to temperature stimuli triggered by the light-harvesting probe TiO2@CNOs introduced via proximity hybridization assay triggering a rolling circle amplification strategy, resulting in the output of colorimetric, photoacoustic, and electrochemiluminescent signals for the detection of colorectal cancer exosomes. This work is expected to provide a new direction for exploring the multisignal amplification strategy of BPE, broaden the application of BPE in biological analysis, and provide new insights for developing highly information-sensing elements to ensure the multimodal coupling for cancer-specific exosome detection.

Abstract
An aptamer-based field-effect transistor (Apta-FET) is a well-developed assay method with high selectivity and sensitivity. Due to the limited information density that natural nucleotide library holds, the Apta-FET faces fundamental restriction in universality to detect various types of analytes. Herein, we demonstrate a type of Apta-FET sensors based on an artificial nucleotide aptamer (AN-Apta-FET). The introduction of an artificial nucleotide increases the diversity of the potential aptamer structure and expands the analyte category of the Apta-FET. The AN-Apta-FET specifically detects hepatoma exosomes, which traditional Apta-FET fails to discriminate from other tumor-derived exosomes, with a limit of detection down to 242 particles mL-1. The AN-Apta-FET distinguishes serum samples of hepatocellular carcinoma patients within 9 min from those of healthy people, showing the potential as a comprehensive assay tool in future disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Exosomes are a class of the nanosized extracellular vesicles, which have emerged as representative liquid biopsy biomarkers. To date, the electrochemical nanosensors are of great significance in the exosome detection with the advantages of easy operation, high accuracy and reliable repeatability. Especially, the growing field of nano interface has provided the electrochemical sensing platforms for the accurate exosomes analysis. The incorporation of multiple nanomaterials can take advantages and synergistic properties of functional units. So, based on the integration of with nanomaterial-based signal transduction and specific biorecognition, the nano-sensing interface provides excellent electrochemical features owing to rapid mass transport and excellent conductivity. The nano-sensing interface with a wide variety of morphologies and structure also provides the large active surface area for the immobilization of bio-capturing agents. Furthermore, through the design of nanostructured electrode array, the efficiency of transducer can be greatly improved. It should be noticed that the elaboration of a proper sensor requires the profound knowledge of the nano-sensing interface. Therefore, this article presents a review of the recent advance in exosomes detection based on the electrochemical nano-sensing interface, including electrochemical analysis principles, exosome sensing mechanisms, nano-interface construction strategies, as well as the typical diagnosis application. In particular, the article is focused on the exploration of the various electrochemical sensing performance of nano-interface in the exosome detection. We have also prospected the future trend and challenge of the electrochemical nano-sensing interface for exosomes analysis in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs) exosomes is a challenge to address the need for better diagnostic tests and to create a point-of-care (POC) platform that can detect, monitor and treat health conditions early to allow personalized therapies. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to address these health-related technical issues. Over the past decade, materials scientists and engineers have worked on the same platform to develop flexible, lightweight, miniaturized, and integrated POC devices for exosome detection. Therefore, exosome detection based on various nanomaterials is of particular interest. In this paper, we describe the current state of knowledge on 0D-3D nanostructured materials and present a POC-based technique for exosome detection. Finally, the challenges that need to be solved to expand their clinical application are discussed.

Abstract
Isolating particles from complex fluids is a crucial approach in multiple fields including biomedicine. In particular, biological matrices contain a myriad of distinct particles with different sizes and structures. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), for instance, are nanosized particles carrying vital information from donor to recipient cells, and they have garnered significant impact on disease diagnostics, drug delivery, and theranostics applications. Among all the EV types, exosome particles are one of the smallest entities, sizing from 30 to 100 nm. Separating such small substances from a complex media such as tissue culture and serum is still one of the most challenging steps in this field. Membrane filtration is one of the convenient approaches for these operations; yet clogging, low-recovery, and high fouling are still major obstacles. In this study, we design a two-filter-integrated microfluidic device focusing on dead-end and cross-flow processes at the same time, thereby minimizing any interfering factors on the recovery. The design of this platform is also numerically assessed to understand pressure-drop and flow rate effects over the procedure. As a model, we isolate exosome particles from human embryonic kidney cells cultured in different conditions, which also mimic complex fluids such as serum. Moreover, by altering the flow direction, we refresh the membranes for minimizing clogging issues and benchmark the platform performance for multitime use. By comprehensively analyzing the design and operation parameters of this platform, we address the aforementioned existing barriers in the recovery, clogging, and fouling factors, thereby achieving the use of a microfluidic device multiple times for bio-nanoparticle isolation without any notable issues.
