Abstract
GQDs exhibits exceptional electrochemical activity owing to their active edge sites that make them very attractive for biosensing applications. However, their use in the design of new biosensing devices for application to the detection and quantification of toxins, pathogens, and clinical biomarkers has so far not investigated in detail. In this regard, herein we provide a detailed review on various methodologies employed for the synthesis of GQDs, including bottom-up and top-down approaches, with a special focus on their applications in biosensing via fluorescence, photoluminescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and electrochemical techniques. We believe that this review will shed light on the critical issues and widen the applications of GQDs for the design of biosensors with improved analytical response for future applications. HIGHLIGHTS: • Properties of GQDs play a critical role in biosensing applications. • Synthesis of GQDs using top-down and bottom-up approaches is discussed comprehensively. • Overview of advancements in GQD-based sensors over the last decade. • Methods for the design of selective and sensitive GQD-based sensors. • Challenges and opportunities for future GQD-based sensors.

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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly developed as a global health emergency. Respiratory diseases are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients with a spectrum of different diseases, from asymptomatic subclinical infection to the progression of severe pneumonia and subsequent acute respiratory distress syndrome. Individuals with cardiovascular disease are more likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 and develop severe symptoms. Hence, patients with underlying cardiovascular disease mortality rate are over three times. Furthermore, note that patients with a history of cardiovascular disease are more likely to have higher cardiac biomarkers, especially cardiac troponins, than infected patients, especially those with severe disease, making these patients more susceptible to cardiac damage caused by SARS-2-CoV. Biomarkers are important in decision-making to facilitate the efficient allocation of resources. Viral replication in the heart muscle can lead to a cascade of inflammatory processes that lead to fibrosis and, ultimately, cardiac necrosis. Elevated troponin may indicate damage to the heart muscle and may predict death. After the first Chinese analysis, increased cardiac troponin value was observed in a significant proportion of patients, suggesting that myocardial damage is a possible pathogenic mechanism leading to severe disease and death. However, the prognostic performance of troponin and whether its value is affected by different comorbidities present in COVID-19 patients are not known. This review aimed to assess the diagnostic value of troponin to offer insight into pathophysiological mechanisms and reported new assessment methods, including new biosensors for troponin in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue. In particular, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires urgent attention and early diagnosis. The use of point-of-care diagnostics has resulted in the improved management of cardiovascular disease, but a major drawback is that the performance of POC devices does not rival that of central laboratory tests. Recently, many studies and advances have been made in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), including the development of POC biosensors that utilize this detection method. Here, we present a review of the strengths and limitations of these emerging SERS-based biosensors for AMI diagnosis. The ability of SERS to multiplex sensing against existing POC detection methods are compared and discussed. Furthermore, SERS calibration-free methods that have recently been explored to minimize the inconvenience and eliminate the limitations caused by the limited linear range and interassay differences found in the calibration curves are outlined. In addition, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in SERS techniques to promote multivariate analysis and enhance diagnostic accuracy are discussed. The future prospects for SERS-based POC devices that include wearable POC SERS devices toward predictive, personalized medicine following the Fourth Industrial Revolution are proposed.

Abstract
Due to the proliferative cancer rates, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune diseases and a plethora of infections across the globe, it is essential to introduce strategies that can rapidly and specifically detect the ultralow concentrations of relevant biomarkers, pathogens, toxins and pharmaceuticals in biological matrices. Considering these pathophysiologies, various research works have become necessary to fabricate biosensors for their early diagnosis and treatment, using nanomaterials like quantum dots (QDs). These nanomaterials effectively ameliorate the sensor performance with respect to their reproducibility, selectivity as well as sensitivity. In particular, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which are ideally graphene fragments of nanometer size, constitute discrete features such as acting as attractive fluorophores and excellent electro-catalysts owing to their photo-stability, water-solubility, biocompatibility, non-toxicity and lucrativeness that make them favorable candidates for a wide range of novel biomedical applications. Herein, we reviewed about 300 biomedical studies reported over the last five years which entail the state of art as well as some pioneering ideas with respect to the prominent role of GQDs, especially in the development of optical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors. Additionally, we outline the ideal properties of GQDs, their eclectic methods of synthesis, and the general principle behind several biosensing techniques.

Abstract
In the area of biomedicine, research for designing electrochemical sensors has evolved over the past decade, since it is crucial to selectively quantify biomarkers or pathogens in clinical samples for the efficacious diagnosis and/or treatment of various diseases. To fulfil the demand of rapid, specific, economic, and easy detection of such biomolecules in ultralow amounts, numerous nanomaterials have been explored to effectively enhance the sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility of immunosensors. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have garnered tremendous attention in immunosensor development, owing to their special attributes such as large surface area, excellent biocompatibility, quantum confinement, edge effects, and abundant sites for chemical modification. Besides these distinct features, GQDs acquire peroxidase (POD)-mimicking electro-catalytic activity, and hence, they can replace horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based systems to conduct facile, quick, and inexpensive label-free immunoassays. The chief motive of this review article is to summarize and focus on the recent advances in GQD-based electrochemical immunosensors for the early and rapid detection of cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and pathogenic diseases. Moreover, the underlying principles of electrochemical immunosensing techniques are also highlighted. These GQD immunosensors are ubiquitous in biomedical diagnosis and conducive for miniaturization, encouraging low-cost disease diagnostics in developing nations using point-of-care testing (POCT) and similar allusive techniques.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of mortality in the world. Most of the diagnostic processes usually require bulky instruments and trained professionals, which cannot meet the demand for fast, early and regular bedside diagnosis. In this paper, a bespoke app on a smartphone and an autonomous capillary microfluidic chip (ACMC) are combined to realize the point-of-care testing of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). The smartphone-app-ACMC platform was based on the sandwich immunofluorescence principle and featured self-aligned on-chip focusing (SOF) lenses which can avoid the complex optical coupling process. The operator only needs to introduce 100 μl sample into the ACMC, where the priming, time-delaying, mixing and washing steps for the assay can be accomplished automatically. With the help of the bespoke app and a palm-sized optical attachment, the smartphone can capture fluorescence images, process fluorescence intensity information, output detection results and save the results for long-term monitoring. Our results showed that within 12 min, the detection limit of 78 pg ml-1 and 94 pg ml-1 for cTnI was attained in buffer and spiked human serum, respectively. Our proposed platform has the potential to be applied in the POCT field especially for some resource-limited settings.

Simultaneous detection of three biomarkers related to acute myocardial infarction based on immunosensing biochip. Biosens Bioelectron 2018; 126:767-772.

Abstract
An immunosensing biochip for simultaneous detection of three biomarkers related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was developed based on anionic soybean peroxidase (SBP) functionalized nanoprobe and chemiluminescent imaging. The nanoprobes (Ab2-SiO2-SBP) were fabricated by co-immobilization of SBP and one of the detection polyclonal antibodies, anti-cardiac troponin I antigen (anti-cTnI), anti-creatine kinase-MB (anti-CK-MB) and anti-myoglobin (anti-Myo), on the silica nanoparticle surface. The detection sensitivity was enhanced since the large surface area of silica carriers increased the loading of SBP for per sandwiched immunoreaction. The immunosensing biochip designed as 3 × 8 wells array was constructed by simultaneously immobilizing three capture monoclonal antibodies on the same one microtiter well with 2 × 3 active spots. In the presence of target protein, the nanoprobes will be attached onto the spots with high specificity through the sandwiched immunoreactions, which triggered the chemiluminescence (CL) signals on each sensing site of the microtiter plates and allowed to CL imaging of three biomarkers in one well at the same time. Therefore, the proposed biochip was a promising convenient strategy for simultaneous detection of cTnI, CK-MB and Myo, which showed potential application for multianalyte determination in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Enzyme-based chemical biosensors are based on biological recognition. In order to operate, the enzymes must be available to catalyze a specific biochemical reaction and be stable under the normal operating conditions of the biosensor. Design of biosensors is based on knowledge about the target analyte, as well as the complexity of the matrix in which the analyte has to be quantified. This article reviews the problems resulting from the interaction of enzyme-based amperometric biosensors with complex biological matrices containing the target analyte(s). One of the most challenging disadvantages of amperometric enzyme-based biosensor detection is signal reduction from fouling agents and interference from chemicals present in the sample matrix. This article, therefore, investigates the principles of functioning of enzymatic biosensors, their analytical performance over time and the strategies used to optimize their performance. Moreover, the composition of biological fluids as a function of their interaction with biosensing will be presented.

Abstract
Electrochemistry, biosensors and microfluidics are popular research topics that have attracted widespread attention from chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers. Here, we introduce the basic concepts and recent histories of electrochemistry, biosensors, and microfluidics, and describe how they are combining to form new application-areas, including so-called "point-of-care" systems in which measurements traditionally performed in a laboratory are moved into the field. We propose that this review can serve both as a useful starting-point for researchers who are new to these topics, as well as being a compendium of the current state-of-the art for experts in these evolving areas.

Abstract
This paper presents a review of microtechnologies relevant to applications in cellular physiology, including biochips, electrochemical sensors and optrodic sensing techniques. Microelectrodes have been the main tools for measuring cellular electrophysiology, oxygen, nitric oxide, neurotransmitters, pH and various ions. Optical fiber sensing methods, such as indicator-based optrodes, with fluorescence lifetime measurement, are now emerging as viable alternatives to electroanalytical chemistry. These new optrode techniques are possible because of recent advances in the optoelectronics industry and are comparably easier to miniaturize, have faster response times, do not consume the analyte and have lower operational costs. This review serves as a summary and predicts future trends for both electrochemical and optical luminescence lifetime sensing as components in lab-on-a-chip devices for physiological sensing.

Abstract
Measurement of serum autoantibody is a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases. However, rapid and convenient methods at the point-of care have not been achieved in large part because any one antibody species is a heterogeneous and miniscule fraction of the total serum immunoglobulin displaying identical properties other than its antigen-binding specificity. The present system addresses these challenges by vacuum-mediated transport of diluted serum through an antigen-coated porous membrane. To measure anti-DNA autoantibodies, native DNA was immobilized into a poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane pre-coated with a synthetic phenylalanine/lysine co-polymer. Flow-through of primary and peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies over the course of 3 min enhanced productive antibody-antigen interactions by bringing the reactants into close mutual proximity. Signal was quantified electrochemically during the enzymatic conversion of the tetramethylbenzidine substrate to a charge-transfer complex. The electrochemical signals generated by sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus using this device showed good quantitative correlation with a standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and displayed similar detection limits. Inter- and intra-assay variability and electrode uniformity were favorable as was a two-month test of the stability of the DNA-coated membrane. While refining the fluidics requirements of this biosensor will be needed, its capacity to quantify over the course of 30 min anti-DNA antibodies in fresh human serum without background reactivity of normal serum makes this a promising technology as a point-of care device of clinical utility.

Abstract
This paper describes the detection of a cardiac biomarker, cardiac troponin I (cTnI), spiked into depleted human serum using cationic isotachophoresis (ITP) in a 3.9 cm long poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic channel. The microfluidic chip incorporates a 100× cross-sectional area reduction, including a 10× depth reduction and a 10× width reduction, to increase sensitivity during ITP. The cross-sectional area reductions in combination with ITP allowed visualization of lower concentrations of fluorescently labeled cTnI. ITP was performed in both "peak mode" and "plateau mode" and the final concentrations obtained were linear with initial cTnI concentration. We were able to detect and quantify cTnI at initial concentrations as low as 46 ng mL(-1) in the presence of human serum proteins and obtain cTnI concentrations factors as high as ~ 9000. In addition, preliminary ITP experiments including both labeled cTnI and labeled protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylated cTnI were performed to visualize ITP migration of different phosphorylated forms of cTnI. The different phosphorylated states of cTnI formed distinct ITP zones between the leading and terminating electrolytes. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt at using ITP in a cascade microchip to quantify cTnI in human serum and detect different phosphorylated forms.

Abstract
Research activity and applications of biosensors for measurement of analytes of clinical interest over the last eight years are reviewed. Nanotechnology has been applied to improve performance of biosensors using electrochemical, optical, mechanical and physical modes of transduction, and to allow arrays of biosensors to be constructed for parallel sensing. Biosensors have been proposed for measurement of cancer biomarkers, cardiac biomarkers as well as biomarkers for autoimmune disease, infectious disease and for DNA analysis. Novel applications of biosensors include measurements in alternate sample types, such as saliva. Biosensors based on immobilized whole cells have found new applications, for example to detect the presence of cancer and to monitor the response of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. The number of research reports describing new biosensors for analytes of clinical interest continues to increase; however, movement of biosensors from the research laboratory to the clinical laboratory has been slow. The greatest impact of biosensors will be felt at point-of-care testing locations without laboratory support. Integration of biosensors into reliable, easy-to-use and rugged instrumentation will be required to assure success of biosensor-based systems at the point-of-care.

Abstract
This review examines the current state of the art lab-on-a-chip and microfluidic based biosensor technologies used in the detection of cardiac biomarkers. The determination and quantification of blood based, cardiac biomarkers are crucial in the triage and management of a range of cardiac related conditions, where time delay has a major impact on short and longer-term outcomes of a patient. The design and manufacturing of biomarker detection systems are multi-disciplinary in nature and require researchers to have knowledge of both life sciences and engineering for the full potential of this field to be realised. This review will therefore provide a comprehensive overview of chip based immunosensing technology as applied to cardiac biomarker detection, while discussing the potential suitability and limitations of each configuration for incorporation within a clinical diagnostics device suitable for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
The diagnosis of rabies is routinely based on clinical and epidemiological information, especially when exposures are reported in rabies-endemic countries. Diagnostic tests using conventional assays that appear to be negative, even when undertaken late in the disease and despite the clinical diagnosis, have a tendency, at times, to be unreliable. These tests are rarely optimal and entirely dependent on the nature and quality of the sample supplied. In the course of the past three decades, the application of molecular biology has aided in the development of tests that result in a more rapid detection of rabies virus. These tests enable viral strain identification from clinical specimens. Currently, there are a number of molecular tests that can be used to complement conventional tests in rabies diagnosis. Indeed the challenges in the 21st century for the development of rabies diagnostics are not of a technical nature; these tests are available now. The challenges in the 21st century for diagnostic test developers are two-fold: firstly, to achieve internationally accepted validation of a test that will then lead to its acceptance by organisations globally. Secondly, the areas of the world where such tests are needed are mainly in developing regions where financial and logistical barriers prevent their implementation. Although developing countries with a poor healthcare infrastructure recognise that molecular-based diagnostic assays will be unaffordable for routine use, the cost/benefit ratio should still be measured. Adoption of rapid and affordable rabies diagnostic tests for use in developing countries highlights the importance of sharing and transferring technology through laboratory twinning between the developed and the developing countries. Importantly for developing countries, the benefit of molecular methods as tools is the capability for a differential diagnosis of human diseases that present with similar clinical symptoms. Antemortem testing for human rabies is now possible using molecular techniques. These barriers are not insurmountable and it is our expectation that if such tests are accepted and implemented where they are most needed, they will provide substantial improvements for rabies diagnosis and surveillance. The advent of molecular biology and new technological initiatives that combine advances in biology with other disciplines will support the development of techniques capable of high throughput testing with a low turnaround time for rabies diagnosis.

Abstract
The capability to selectively and reversibly control protein-protein interactions in antibody-doped polypyrrole (PPy) was accomplished by changing the voltage applied to the polymer. Polypyrrole was doped with sulfate polyanions and monoclonal anti-human fibronectin antibodies (alphaFN). The ability to toggle the binding and dissociation of fibronectin (FN) to alphaFN-doped polypyrrole was demonstrated. Staircase potential electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (SPEIS) was performed to characterize the impedance and charge transfer characteristics of the alphaFN-doped PPy as a function of applied voltage, frequency, and FN concentration. Impedance measurements indicated oxidation of alphaFN-doped PPy promoted selective binding of FN to alphaFN antibodies and reduction of the polymer films facilitated FN dissociation. Moreover, SPEIS measurements suggested that the apparent reversibility of antigen binding to antibody-doped PPy is not due to the suppression of hydrophobic binding forces between antibody and antigen. Instead, our data indicate that reversible antigen binding to antibody-doped PPy can be attributed to the minimization of charge in the polymer films during oxidation and reduction. Furthermore, alphaFN-doped PPy was utilized to collect real-time, dynamic measurements of varying FN concentrations in solution by repeatedly binding and releasing FN. Our data demonstrate that antibody-doped PPy represents an electrically controllable sensing platform which can be exploited to collect rapid, repeated measurements of protein concentrations with molecular specificity.

Abstract
A large variety of potentiometric biosensors is developed using biocatalytic and bioaffinity-based biosensing schemes. However, only few of them could be applied for the biomedical analysis. The most promising are those for the detection of main products of protein metabolism, namely urea and creatinine. A novel group of potentiometric biosensors is constituted by bioaffinity-based devices that could be used for immunoassays or genoanalysis. This paper reviews the recent trends in these fields as well as discusses advantages, limitations and pitfalls of the developed biosensors. Some potentiometric biosensors useful for real biomedical analysis are reported in detail.

Abstract
To modify gold electrode for immunosensor to construct an artificial cell membrane structure, water-soluble amphiphilic phospholipid polymer, poly[2-methacryloyloxyehtyl phosphorylcholine-co-n-butyl methacrylate-co-p-nitrophenyloxycarbonyl poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PMBN)] was applied. The polymer had active ester groups for immobilization of biomolecules and it was converted partially to thiol groups for binding to gold substrates. The partially thiolated PMBN was adsorbed on a gold electrode of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Surface characterization of adsorbed PMBN layers was thoroughly investigated with reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy, ellipsometry spectroscopy, dynamic contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Among several PMBN, having different degree of thiolation, it was concluded that 21.5% thiolated PMBN layer had the most well-ordered phosphorylcholine groups in its outer surface. The proteins adsorption test revealed that the phosphorylcholine group on the outer side of PMBN layers, which was substituted their active ester groups by glycine, showed suppress the non-specific adsorption of proteins, such as bovine serum albumin and gamma-globulin. Also, through antigen-antibody binding evaluation, the anti-C-reactive protein antibody immobilized on the PMBN surface worked well and it was confirmed that denaturation of the antibody on the PMBN layers was hardly occurred in spite of 60 days storage at 4 degrees C. The antibody conjugated phospholipid polymer layer with well-ordered phosphorylcholine group could be outstanding functional membrane for biomedical diagnostic devices without non-specific binding and reduction of immunologic activity of immobilized antibody.

Abstract
Poly(pyrrole-co-pyrrole propylic acid) (PPy/PPa) composite films were prepared for the first time by electrochemical copolymerization in mixed pyrrole propylic acid (Pa) and pyrrole solutions. The electrochemical growth process was investigated by in situ electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (ESPR). Atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were applied to characterize the prepared films. Using bovine serum albumin as a model protein, the adsorption kinetics of the protein on PPy/PPa films were studied in situ by SPR. The composition of Pa, the isoelectric point of proteins, the pH of buffers, and surfactant treatment showed dramatic effects on the protein adsorption on the PPy/PPa film. Experimental results indicated that the electrostatic interaction between the PPy/PPa film and proteins plays a critical role in protein adsorption and provided a novel strategy to efficiently immobilize proteins and to reduce nonspecific bindings of proteins in an immunobiosensor.

Abstract
Immunophenotyping evaluation is of particular importance for the clinical diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of viral hepatitis. In this study, an integrated micro flow device has been developed to detect the differentiated antigens/antibodies for immunophenotyping of viral hepatitis. The sensors were fabricated with plasma-polymerized ethylenediamine film (PPF) and nanometer-sized gold particles (nanogold) on which the different hepatitis B antigens/antibodies (markers) were subsequently immobilized. Monitoring the changes in the potential signals before and after the antigen-antibody interaction provides the basis for an immunoassay that is simple, rapid, and cost-effective. It permits the detection of hepatitis B in the dynamic concentration range of 2 orders of magnitude (10(-6) g x L(-1) - 10(-4) g x L(-1)). Up to 7 successive assay cycles with retentive sensitivity were achieved for the sensors regenerated by 8 M urea. Moreover, the microfluidic device was applied to evaluate a number of practical specimens with analytical results in acceptable agreement with those clinically classified. The newly proposed multiparameter analysis technique provides a feasible alternative tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatitis B.

Abstract
A concept based on a novel redox-biocompatible composite protein membrane fabrication, double enzyme membrane modification technique and antibody immobilization, was exploited to develop a highly sensitive amperometric enzyme immunosensor for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In this concept, a solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) containing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is coated on the gold electrode in such a way that the first enzyme membrane is achieved. Then tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) cobalt(III) (Co(bpy)(3)3+), as a mediator, was embedded in BSA-HRP composite membrane vis the electrostatic force and hydrophobe functions. Later a self-assembled conductive nano-Au monolayer was constructed onto the resultant electrode surface by electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged nano-Au and positively charged Co(bpy)3(3+). Protein A is used as a binding material to achieve an adjusted (but not random) orientation of the antibodies surface for efficient combination of antigens. Finally, the HRP, was employed to block the possible remaining active sites and avoid the non-specific adsorption, which acts not only as a blocking reagent instead of the commonly used BSA but also as the conventional enzyme-labeling to amplify the response of the antigen-antibody reaction. The immunosensor constructed with the double layer biocatalytic HRP membranes and the desirable Co(bpy)(3)3+/BSA redox-biocompatible composite membrane performed high sensitivity and a wide linear response to CEA in the range of 0.50-80.00 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 0.14 ng/mL, as well as good stability and long-term life.

Abstract
Global biosecurity threats such as the spread of emerging infectious diseases (i.e., avian influenza, SARS, Hendra, Nipah, etc.) and bioterrorism have generated significant interest in recent years. There is considerable effort directed towards understanding and negating the proliferation of infectious diseases. Biosensors are an attractive tool which have the potential to detect the outbreak of a virus and/or disease. Although there is a host of technologies available, either commercially or in the scientific literature, the development of biosensors for the detection of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) is still in its infancy. There is no doubt that the glucose biosensor, the gene chip, the protein chip, etc. have all played and are still playing a significant role in monitoring various biomolecules. Can biosensors play an important role for the detection of emerging infectious diseases? What does the future hold and which biosensor technology platform is suitable for the real-time detection of infectious diseases? These and many other questions will be addressed in this review. The purpose of this review is to present an overview of biosensors particularly in relation to EIDs. It provides a synopsis of the various types of biosensor technologies that have been used to detect EIDs, and describes some of the technologies behind them in terms of transduction and bioreceptor principles.

Abstract
A potentiometric artificial immunosensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared as a detecting element in micro total analysis systems with the intent of providing easy clinical analysis. As the structure and transducing mechanism of this sensor are very simple, construction of a single microsensor should be quite easy. Multimicrosensor arrays applicable to several kinds of analytes will be attainable by both changing the template molecule to be imprinted and reducing the sensor size. The response characteristics of this sensor were evaluated by measuring the response potential to serotonin, which was used as a model material. The obtained sensor was highly responsive to serotonin in water but not to tryptamine, acetaminophen, or procainamide. This phenomenon confirms that the sensor recognizes serotonin and that it functions as a specific artificial immunosensor. Quick measurement is possible because the response time, defined as the time required to achieve 95% of the magnitude of the equilibrated signal, correspond to approximately 12 s. The sensor's determination and detection limits were found to be 1 mumol/L and 100 pmol/L, respectively. These results suggest that our strategy can be applied to construction of a potentiometric artificial immunosensor.

Abstract
Progress in proteomic researches is largely determined by development and implementation of new methods for the revelation and identification of proteins in biological material in a wide concentration range (from 10(-3) M to single molecules). The most perspective approaches to address this problem involve (i) nanotechnological physicochemical procedures for the separation of multicomponent protein mixtures; among these of particular interest are biospecific nanotechnological procedures for selection of proteins from multicomponent protein mixtures with their subsequent concentration on solid support; (ii) identification and counting of single molecules by use of molecular detectors. The prototypes of biospecific nanotechnological procedures, based on the capture of ligand biomolecules by biomolecules of immobilized ligate and the concentration of the captured ligands on appropriate surfaces, are well known; these are affinity chromatography, magnetic biobeads technology, different biosensor methods, etc. Here, we review the most promising nanotechnological approaches for selection of proteins and kinetic characterization of their complexes based on these biospecific methods with subsequent MS/MS identification of proteins and protein complexes. Two major groups of methods for the analysis and identification of individual molecules and their complexes by use of molecular detectors will be reviewed: scanning probe microscopy (SPM) (including atomic-force microscopy) and cryomassdetector technology.
