Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still threatening millions of people's lives, especially in developing countries. One of the major factors contributing to the ongoing epidemic of TB is the lack of a fast, efficient, and inexpensive diagnostic strategy. In this work, we developed a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based field-effect transistor (FET) device functionalized with anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 85B antibody (Ab85B) to detect the major M. tuberculosis-secreted antigen 85B (Ag85B). Through optimizing the device fabrication process by evaluating the mass of the antibody and the concentration of the gating electrolyte, our Ab85B-SWCNT FET devices achieved the detection of the Ag85B spiked in phosphate-buffered saline (calibration samples) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 fg/mL. This SWCNT FET biosensor also showed good sensing performance in biological matrices including artificial sputum and can identify Ag85B in serum after introducing bovine serum albumin (BSA) into the blocking layer. Furthermore, our BSA-blocked Ab85B-SWCNT FET devices can distinguish between TB-positive and -negative clinical samples, promising the application of SWCNT FET devices in point-of-care TB diagnostics. Moreover, the robustness of this SWCNT-based biosensor to the TB diagnosis in blood serum was enhanced by blocking SWCNT devices directly with a glutaraldehyde cross-linked BSA layer, enabling future applications of these SWCNT-based biosensors in clinical testing.

Abstract
The integration of conducting polymers (CPs) with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has arisen as a dynamic and innovative approach to overcome some intrinsic limitations of both materials, representing a transformative method to address the pressing need for high-performance environmental monitoring tools. MOFs, with their intricate structures and versatile functional groups, provide tuneable porosity and an extensive surface area, facilitating the selective adsorption of target analytes. Conversely, CPs, characterized by their exceptional electrical conductivity and redox properties, serve as proficient signal transducers. By combining these two materials, a novel class of hybrid materials emerges, capitalizing on the unique attributes of both components. These MOF/CP hybrids exhibit heightened sensitivity, selectivity, and adaptability, making them primordial in detecting and quantifying environmental contaminants. This review examines the synergy between MOFs and CPs, highlighting recent advancements, challenges, and prospects, thus offering a promising solution for developing advanced functional materials with tailored properties and multifunctionality to be applied in electrochemical sensors for environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is considered a worldwide infectious zoonotic disease. Mycobacterium bovis causes bTB disease. It is one of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) members. MTBC is a clonal complex of close relatives with approximately 99.95% similarity. M. bovis is a spillover pathogen that can transmit from animals to humans and rarely from humans to animals with contact. Genotyping techniques are important to discriminate and differentiate between MTBC species. Spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) are widely used but they have some limitations. As an alternative, whole genome sequencing approaches have been utilized due to their high-resolution power. They are employed in typing M. bovis and explain the evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between isolates. The control of bTB disease has attracted a large amount of attention. Rapid and proper diagnosis is necessary for monitoring the disease as an initial step for its control and treatment. Nanotechnology has a potential impact on the rapid diagnosis and treatment of bTB through the use of nanocarrier and metal nanoparticles (NPs). Special attention has been paid to voltammetric and impedimetric electrochemical strategies as facile, sensitive, and selective methods for the efficient detection of tuberculosis. The efficacy of these sensors is enhanced in the presence of NPs, which act as recognition and/or redox probes. Gold, silver, copper, cobalt, graphene, and magnetic NPs, as well as polypyrrole nanowires and multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been employed for detecting tuberculosis. Overall, NP-based electrochemical sensors represent a promising tool for the diagnosis of bTB.

Abstract
State-of-the-art polypyrrole nanofiber-based nanoarchitectonics can be generally fabricated by electrospinning, interfacial polymerization and reactive template methods. Even though analogous nanofiber morphologies and nanofibrous network architectures can be obtained by these methods, the structural details and structural complexities may alter significantly as different synthesis methods are applied. For the electrospinning technique, on one hand, nanofibers can be directly obtained by spinning polypyrrole-containing dope solutions; on the other, the electrospun nanofiber mats can be used as templates to direct the nanofiber formation; a two-step fabrication process, including the electrospinning of polymer nanofiber mats and deposition of polypyrrole on the polymer nanofibers' surface, is generally employed. By tuning the electrospinning parameters, the composition, diameter, morphology, and alignment of the as-obtained electrospun nanofiber mat can be effectively controlled, which may allow the fabrication of polypyrrole nanofibers with sophisticated nanostructures and nanoarchitectures. Interfacial polymerization is capable of generating polypyrrole nanofibers without templates. It is speculated that the protonation and re-orientation of polypyrrole at the oil-water interface may decoil the polymer chains and transform them into more extended conformations, while the charged polymer chains more easily diffuse into the water phase and form a stable dispersion. Different from electrospinning, the reactive templates may drive the formation of polypyrrole nanofibers through either redox or protonation mechanisms. Nanofibers with different curvatures, compositions, and architectures can be obtained by using different types of reactive template in a simple, fast, environment-friendly and one-step manner. A wide range of applications have been demonstrated by the polypyrrole nanofiber-based nanoarchitectonics, including cell culture, tissue engineering, neural stimulation, energy storage, and organic electronics.

Abstract
The recent pandemic has led to the fabrication of new nucleic acid sensors that can detect infinitesimal limits immediately and effectively. Therefore, various techniques have been demonstrated using low-dimensional materials that exhibit ultrahigh detection and accuracy. Numerous detection approaches have been reported, and new methods for impulse sensing are being explored. All ongoing research converges at one unique point, that is, an impetus: the enhanced limit of detection of sensors. There are several reviews on the detection of viruses and other proteins related to disease control point of care; however, to the best of our knowledge, none summarizes the various nucleotide sensors and describes their limits of detection and mechanisms. To understand the far-reaching impact of this discipline, we briefly discussed conventional and nanomaterial-based sensors, and then proposed the feature prospects of these devices. Two types of sensing mechanisms were further divided into their sub-branches: polymerase chain reaction and photospectrometric-based sensors. The nanomaterial-based sensor was further subdivided into optical and electrical sensors. The optical sensors included fluorescence (FL), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), while electrical sensors included electrochemical luminescence (ECL), microfluidic chip, and field-effect transistor (FET). A synopsis of sensing materials, mechanisms, detection limits, and ranges has been provided. The sensing mechanism and materials used were discussed for each category in terms of length, collectively forming a fusing platform to highlight the ultrahigh detection technique of nucleotide sensors. We discussed potential trends in improving the fabrication of nucleotide nanosensors based on low-dimensional materials. In this area, particular aspects, including sensitivity, detection mechanism, stability, and challenges, were addressed. The optimization of the sensing performance and selection of the best sensor were concluded. Recent trends in the atomic-scale simulation of the development of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sensors using 2D materials were highlighted. A critical overview of the challenges and opportunities of deoxyribonucleic acid sensors was explored, and progress made in deoxyribonucleic acid detection over the past decade with a family of deoxyribonucleic acid sensors was described. Areas in which further research is needed were included in the future scope.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), induced by the foxy Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is still one of the top killers worldwide among infectious diseases. Although several antibiotics have been developed to significantly relieve the tuberculosis epidemics worldwide, there are still several important scientific challenges for tuberculosis. As one of the most critical issues for tuberculosis control, the accurate and timely diagnosis of tuberculosis is critical for the following therapy of tuberculosis and thus responsible for the effective control of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Current tuberculosis diagnostic methods in clinic are still facing the difficulties that they can't provide the rapid diagnostic results with high sensitivity and accuracy, which therefore requires the development of more effective novel diagnostic strategies. In recent decades, nanomaterials have been proved to show promising potentials for novel nanobiosensor construction based on their outstanding physical, chemical and biological properties. Taking these promising advantages, nanomaterial-based biosensors show the potential to allow the rapid, sensitive and accurate tuberculosis diagnosis. Here, aiming to increase the development of more effective tuberculosis diagnostic strategy, we summarized the current progress of nanobiosensors for potential tuberculosis diagnosis application. We discussed the different kind diagnostic targets for tuberculosis diagnosis based on nanobiosensors, ranging from the detection of bacterial components from M. tuberculosis, such as DNA and proteins, to the host immunological responses, such as specific cytokine production, and to the direct whole cell detection of M. tuberculosis. We believe that this review would enhance our understandings of nanobiosensors for potential tuberculosis diagnosis, and further promote the future research on nanobiosensor-based tuberculosis diagnosis to benefit the more effective control of tuberculosis epidemic.

Abstract
Polymers are long-chain, highly molecular weight molecules containing large numbers of repeating units within their backbone derived from the product of polymerization of monomeric units. The materials exhibit unique properties based on the types of bonds that exist within their structures. Among these, some behave as rubbers because of their excellent bending ability, lightweight nature, and shape memory. Moreover, their tunable chemical, structural, and electrical properties make them promising candidates for their use as sensing materials. Polymer-based sensors are highly utilized in the current scenario in the public health sector and environment control due to their rapid detection, small size, high sensitivity, and suitability in atmospheric conditions. Therefore, the aim of this review article is to highlight the current progress in polymer-based sensors. More importantly, this review provides general trends and challenges in sensor technology based on polymer materials.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.

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 conducting polymer polypyrrole nanocones wrapped by metal cobalt (Co/PPy) are a promising platform for the detection of sodium nitrite, which can be obtained by an electrochemical deposition technique under a mild condition. Co/PPy nanocone arrays combined the high conductivity and large specific surface area of PPy nanocones with the redox properties of metal cobalt, and their 3D structure can provide more active sites for nitrite detection. Owing to the microstructure and excellent electrical properties of the nanocomposite, Co/PPy nanocone arrays were convenient to construct a high-performance nitrite sensor. The microscopic morphology and composition of Co/PPy nanocone arrays were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XPS, and XRD, and their electrochemical performances were also investigated. The experimental results showed that Co/PPy nanocones exhibited excellent performance for nitrite determination. The sensors were used for the determination of nitrite in pickled Chinese cabbage and water samples, and the results were consistent with those of spectrophotometry. Hence, the synthesized Co/PPy nanocone arrays have a broad application prospect in food safety, environmental protection, and industrial manufacturing.

DNA is known to be ubiquitous in nature as it is the controlling unit for genetic information storage in most living organisms. Lately, there has been a surge in studies relating to the use of DNA as a biomaterial for various biomedical applications such as biosensing, therapeutics, and drug delivery. The role of DNA as a bioreceptor in biosensors has been known for a long time. DNA-based biosensors are gradually evolving into highly sophisticated and sensitive molecular devices. The current realization of DNA-based biosensors embraces the unique structural and functional properties of DNA in the form of a biopolymer. The interesting properties of DNA, such as self-assembly, programmability, catalytic activity, dynamic behavior, and precise molecular recognition, have led to the emergence of innovative DNA assembly based electrochemical biosensors. This review article aims to cover the recent progress in the field of DNA-based electrochemical (EC) biosensors. It commences with an introduction to electrochemical biosensors and elucidates the advantages of integrating DNA-based materials into them. Besides this, we discuss the principles of EC biosensors based on different types of DNA-based materials.

Abstract
The potential of functionalized polypyrrole nanowires (PPyNWs) are demonstrated as a platform for lable-free miRNA detection using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) detection methods and sensors are mainly challenged by very low concentrations in physiological samples and high similarity among family members. Herein, a sensitive and selective miRNA biosensor was constructed based on electrochemically synthesized PPyNWs, which were functionalized with polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM) by an electro-oxidation method. The prepared PPyNWs/PAMAM hybrid combines the excellent electrical conductivity of conducting polymer PPyNWs with high surface to volume ratio of PAMAM. DNA probes were immobilized onto the PPyNWs/PAMAM hybrid for the construction of the miRNA biosensor. Using the sensitive EIS technique to monitor DNA/miRNA hybridization, the developed biosensor demonstrated excellent sensing performances, such as wide linear range (10-14 M-10-8 M) and low detection limit (0.34 × 10-14 M). Even more encouraging, the response sensitivity of the biosensor was 3.12 times higher than that of the bulk PPy-modified sensor, which proved that the microstructure of the PPy nanowires array can greatly improve the performance of the biosensor. An ultrasensitive and selective miRNA biosensor was constructed based on electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole nanowires array (PPyNWs), which were functionalized with polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM) by an electro-oxidation method.

Abstract
Conducting polymers (CPs) have been at the center of research owing to their metal-like electrochemical properties and polymer-like dispersion nature. CPs and their composites serve as ideal functional materials for diversified biomedical applications like drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. There have also been numerous biosensing platforms based on polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPY), polythiophene (PTP), and their composites. Based on their unique properties and extensive use in biosensing matrices, updated information on novel CPs and their role is appealing. This review focuses on the properties and performance of biosensing matrices based on CPs reported in the last three years. The salient features of CPs like PANI, PPY, PTP, and their composites with nanoparticles, carbon materials, etc. are outlined along with respective examples. A description of mediator conjugated biosensor designs and enzymeless CPs based glucose sensing has also been included. The future research trends with required improvements to improve the analytical performance of CP-biosensing devices have also been addressed.

Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) is oxidatively polymerized in the frozen state at -24 °C in the presence of various organic dyes as morphology guiding agents in order to form homogeneous 1D PPy nanoforms. The freezing polymerization of pyrrole has a significant influence on the electrical conductivity and thermal stability but negligible influence on the yield compared to widely used room temperature polymerization.
