Abstract
Simultaneous detection of different biomarkers from a single specimen in a single test, allowing more rapid, efficient, and low-cost analysis, is of great significance for accurate diagnosis of disease and efficient monitoring of therapy. Recently, developments in microfabrication and nanotechnology have advanced the integration of nanomaterials in microfluidic devices toward multiplex assays of biomarkers, combining both the advantages of microfluidics and the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we focus on the state of the art in multiplexed detection of biomarkers based on nanomaterial-assisted microfluidics. Following an overview of the typical microfluidic analytical techniques and the most commonly used nanomaterials for biochemistry analysis, we highlight in detail the nanomaterial-assisted microfluidic strategies for different biomarkers. These highly integrated platforms with minimum sample consumption, high sensitivity and specificity, low detection limit, enhanced signals, and reduced detection time have been extensively applied in various domains and show great potential in future point-of-care testing and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important immuno-modulating cytokine playing a pivotal role in inflammatory processes in disease induction and progression. As IL-6 serves as an important indicator of disease state, it is of paramount importance to develop low cost, fast and sensitive improved methods of detection. Here we present an electrochemical immunosensor platform based on the use of highly porous graphitic carbon electrodes fabricated by direct laser writing of commercial polyimide tapes and chemically modified with capture IL-6 antibodies. The unique porous and 3D morphology, as well as the high density of edge planes of the graphitic carbon electrodes, resulted in a fast heterogeneous electron transfer (HET) rate, k0 = 0.13 cm/s. The resulting immunosensor showed a linear response to log of concentration in the working range of 10 to 500 pg/mL, and low limit of detection (LOD) of 5.1 pg/mL IL-6 in phosphate buffer saline. The total test time was approximately 90 min, faster than the time required for ELISA testing. Moreover, the assay did not require additional sample pre-concentration or labelling steps. The immunosensor shelf-life was long, with stable results obtained after 6 weeks of storage at 4 °C, and the selectivity was high, as no response was obtained in the presence of another inflammatory cytokine, Interlukin-4. These results show that laser-fabricated graphitic carbon electrodes can be used as selective and sensitive electrochemical immunosensors and offer a viable option for rapid and low-cost biomarker detection for point-of-care analysis.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains one of the most prominent forms of cancer for men. Since the early 1990s, Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) has been a commonly recognized PCa-associated protein biomarker. However, PSA testing has been shown to lack in specificity and sensitivity when needed to diagnose, monitor and/or treat PCa patients successfully. One enhancement could include the simultaneous detection of multiple PCa-associated protein biomarkers alongside PSA, also known as multiplexing. If conventional methods such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are used, multiplexed detection of such protein biomarkers can result in an increase in the required sample volume, in the complexity of the analytical procedures, and in adding to the cost. Using companion diagnostic devices such as biosensors, which can be portable and cost-effective with multiplexing capacities, may address these limitations. This review explores recent research for multiplexed PCa protein biomarker detection using optical and electrochemical biosensor platforms. Some of the novel and potential serum-based PCa protein biomarkers will be discussed in this review. In addition, this review discusses the importance of converting research protocols into multiplex point-of-care testing (xPOCT) devices to be used in near-patient settings, providing a more personalized approach to PCa patients’ diagnostic, surveillance and treatment management.

Abstract
At present treatment methods for cancer are limited, partially due to the solubility, poor cellular distribution of drug molecules and, the incapability of drugs to annoy the cellular barriers. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) generally have excellent physio-chemical properties, which include high-level penetration into the cell membrane, high surface area and high capacity of drug loading by in circulating modification with bio-molecules, project them as an appropriate candidate to diagnose and deliver drugs to prostate cancer (PCa). Additionally, the chemically modified CNTs which have excellent 'Biosensing' properties therefore makes it easy for detecting PCa without fluorescent agent and thus targets the particular site of PCa and also, Drug delivery can accomplish a high efficacy, enhanced permeability with less toxic effects. While CNTs have been mainly engaged in cancer treatment, a few studies are focussed on the diagnosis and treatment of PCa. Here, we detailly reviewed the current progress of the CNTs based diagnosis and targeted drug delivery system for managing and curing PCa.

Abstract
Facile detection methods for mycotoxins with high sensitivity are of great significance to prevent potential harm to humans. Herein, a label-free amperometric immunosensor based on a 3-D interconnected carbon nanofibers (CNFs) network coupled with well-dispersed Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) is proposed for the quantitative determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in wheat samples. In comparison to common carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the CNFs network derived from bacterial cellulose biomass possesses a unique hierarchically porous structure for fast electrolyte diffusion and a larger electrochemical active area, which increases the peak current of differential pulse voltammetry curves for an immunosensor. Combined with AuNPs that are incorporated into CNFs by using linear polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a soft template, the developed Au@PEI@CNFs-based immunosensor showed a good linear response to AFB1 concentrations in a wide range from 0.05 to 25 ng mL-1. The limit of detection was 0.027 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3), more than three-fold lower than that of an Au@PEI@CNTs-based sensor. The reproducibility, storage stability and selectivity of the immunosensor were proved to be satisfactory. The developed immunosensor with appropriate sensitivity and reliable accuracy can be used for the analysis of wheat samples.

Abstract
Prostate Cancer (PCa) is one of the deadliest forms of Cancer among men. Early screening process for PCa is primarily conducted with the help of a FDA approved biomarker known as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). The PSA-based screening is challenged with the inability to differentiate between the cancerous PSA and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), resulting in high rates of false-positives. Optical techniques such as optical absorbance, scattering, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and fluorescence have been extensively employed for Cancer diagnostic applications. One of the most important diagnostic applications involves utilization of nanoparticles (NPs) for highly specific, sensitive, rapid, multiplexed, and high performance Cancer detection and quantification. The incorporation of NPs with these optical biosensing techniques allow realization of low cost, point-of-care, highly sensitive, and specific early cancer detection technologies, especially for PCa. In this work, the current state-of-the-art, challenges, and efforts made by the researchers for realization of low cost, point-of-care (POC), highly sensitive, and specific NP enhanced optical biosensing technologies for PCa detection using PSA biomarker are discussed and analyzed.

Abstract
Homogeneous digital immunoassay is a powerful analytical method for highly sensitive protein biomarker detection with a simple protocol. However, it has not been multiplexed yet. In this study, we developed a multiplexed homogeneous digital immunoassay based on single-particle motion analysis (digital homogeneous non-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, digital Ho-Non ELISA). In this assay, multiple target antigen molecules react with the optical subpopulation of magnetic nanobeads labeled with fluorescent dyes and capture antigen-specific antibodies. Then, these beads are magnetically pulled into femtoliter-sized reactors. The surface of these reactors is modified with multiple detection antibodies specific to each antigen by molecular tethers. Each antigen on the particles reacts with the detection antibodies anchored to the surface of the reactors. Magnetic force enhances the efficiency of bead encapsulation in the reactors, and subsequent physical compartmentalization of beads enhances the binding efficiency of the antigen-antibody reaction. The tethered beads show characteristic Brownian motion distinct from free diffusion or non-specific binding of the antigen-free beads. The color of the beads is attributed to target-identification, and the number of tethered beads is attributed to the concentration of the specific target. We measured two biomarkers (PSA and IL6) as model targets by multiplexed digital Ho-Non ELISA. Our method showed higher sensitivity compared to previous digital Ho-Non ELISA and could detect multiple targets simultaneously with the same performance as in single-plex detection. This new strategy has the potential to open a new avenue for next-generation multiplexed immunoassays in in vitro diagnostics.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensor for highly sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers has been developed based on the combination of a sensing platform of polydopamine modified porous graphene and a nonenzymatic label of metal-organic framework (MOF) conjugated secondary antibody. This approach achieves a wide range of linear response from 0.1 to 10 ng/mL, low detection limit of 0.025 ng/mL (at a signal to noise ratio of 3), good reproducibility and selectivity for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) as a model analyte. The high performance of the immunosensor is attributed to the high surface area from porous graphene and the strong adhesion of polydopamine, allowing a high load of the primary antibody of PSA, as well as the highly electrocatalytic activity of the Cu3(BTC)2 (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) MOF toward H2O2 to provide greatly amplified sensitivity. In this respect, the MOF-based nonenzymatic label shows promising application for the point-of-care detection of different cancer biomarkers in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
We present an electrolyte-gated graphene field effect transistor (GFET) nanosensor using aptamer for rapid, highly sensitive and specific detection of a lung cancer biomarker interleukin-6 (IL-6) with enhanced stability. The negatively charged aptamer folds into a compact secondary conformation upon binding with IL-6, thus altering the carrier concentration of graphene and yielding a detectable change in the drain-source current Ids. Aptamer has smaller size than other receptors (e.g. antibodies), making it possible to bring the charged IL-6 more closely to the graphene surface upon affinity binding, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of the detection. Thanks to the higher stability of aptamer over antibodies, which degrade easily with increasing storage time, consistent sensing performance was obtained by our nanosensor over extended-time (>24 h) storage at 25 °C. Additionally, due to the GFET-enabled rapid transduction of the affinity recognition to IL-6, detection of IL-6 can be achieved in several minutes (<10 min). Experimental results indicate that this nanosensor can rapidly and specifically respond to the change in IL-6 levels with high consistency after extended-time storage and a detection limit (DL) down to 139 fM. Therefore, our nanosensor holds great potential for lung cancer diagnosis at its early stage.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death nowadays, and its underdiagnosis is still a great challenge. More effective diagnosis method is in urgent need since the traditional spirometry has many limitations in the practical application. The electrochemical (EC) detection methods have their unique advantages of high accuracy, short response time and easy integration of the system. In this review, recent works on the EC methods for COPD biomarkers including interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are summarized. Five types of EC methods are highlighted in this study, as enzyme-labelled immunosensors, nanoparticle-labelled immunosensors, capacitive or impedimetric immunosensors, magnetoimmunosensors, and field effect transistor (FET) immunosensors. To date, EC immunosensors have been exhibiting high analytical performance with a detection limit that can achieve several pg/mL or even lower. The simplicity of EC immunosensors makes them a perfect solution for a future point-of-care device to use in settings for COPD diagnosis and follow-up. Nevertheless, more efforts need to be paid on the simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers, a demand for the clinical diagnosis, and processes of assay simplification towards achieving one-step detection.

Abstract
We report here the fabrication and validation of a novel 3D-printed, automated immunoarray to detect multiple proteins with ultralow detection limits. This low cost, miniature immunoarray employs electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection measured with a CCD camera and employs touch-screen control of a micropump to facilitate automated use. The miniaturized array features prefilled reservoirs to deliver sample and reagents to a paper-thin pyrolytic graphite microwell detection chip to complete sandwich immunoassays. The detection chip achieves high sensitivity by using single-wall carbon nanotube-antibody conjugates in the microwells and employing massively labeled antibody-decorated RuBPY-silica nanoparticles to generate ECL. The total cost of an array is $0.65, and an eight-protein assay can be done in duplicate for $0.14 per protein with limits of detection (LOD) as low as 78-110 fg mL-1 in diluted serum. The electronic control system costs $210 in components. Utility of the automated immunoarray was demonstrated by detecting an eight-protein prostate cancer biomarker panel in human serum samples in 25 min. The system is well suited to future clinical and point-of-care diagnostic testing and could be used in resource-limited environments.

Abstract
The effect of incorporating different types of carbon nanotubes into composite films of a redox polymer (FcMe2-C3-LPEI) and glucose oxidase (GOX) was investigated. The composite films were constructed by first forming a high-surface area network film of either single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by solution casting of a suspension of Triton-X-100 dispersed SWNTs. Next a glucose responsive redox hydrogel was formed on top of the nanotube-modified electrode by cross-linking FcMe2-C3-LPEI with glucose oxidase via ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDGE). Electrochemical and enzymatic measurements showed that composite films made with (7,6) SWNTs produced a higher response (3.3 mA/cm2) to glucose than films made with (6,5) SWNTs (1.8 mA/cm2) or MWNTs (1.2 mA/cm2) or films made without SWNTs (0.7 mA/cm2). We also show that the response of the composite films could be systematically varied by fabricating SWNT films with different weight ratios of (7,6) and (6,5) SWNTs. Optimization of the (7,6) SWNTs loading and the redox polymer-enzyme film produced a glucose response of 11.2 mA/cm2. Combining the optimized glucose films with a platinum oxygen breathing cathode into a biofuel cell produced a maximum power density output of 343 μW/cm2.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men worldwide. However, current treatments for prostate cancer patients in advanced stage often fail because of relapse. Prostate cancer stem cells (PCSCs) are resistant to most standard therapies, and are considered to be a major mechanism of cancer metastasis and recurrence. In this review, we summarized current understanding of PCSCs and their self-renewal signaling pathways with a specific focus on Wnt signaling. Although multiple Wnt inhibitors have been developed to target PCSCs, their application is still limited by inefficient delivery and toxicity in vivo. Recently, nanotechnology has opened a new avenue for cancer drug delivery, which significantly increases specificity and reduces toxicity. These nanotechnology-based drug delivery methods showed great potential in targeting PCSCs. Here, we summarized current advancement of nanotechnology-based therapeutic strategies for targeting PCSCs and highlighted the challenges and perspectives in designing future therapies to eliminate PCSCs.

Abstract
Protein biomarkers, especially cytokines, play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases. Therefore, a critical need for advanced cytokine sensors has been rapidly growing and will continue to expand to promote clinical testing, new biomarker development, and disease studies. In particular, sensors employing transduction principles of various optical modalities have emerged as the most common means of detection. In typical cytokine assays which are based on the binding affinities between the analytes of cytokines and their specific antibodies, optical schemes represent the most widely used mechanisms, with some serving as the gold standard against which all existing and new sensors are benchmarked. With recent advancements in nanoscience and nanotechnology, many of the recently emerging technologies for cytokine detection exploit various forms of nanomaterials for improved sensing capabilities. Nanomaterials have been demonstrated to exhibit exceptional optical properties unique to their reduced dimensionality. Novel sensing approaches based on the newly identified properties of nanomaterials have shown drastically improved performances in both the qualitative and quantitative analyses of cytokines. This article brings together the fundamentals in the literature that are central to different optical modalities developed for cytokine detection. Recent advancements in the applications of novel technologies are also discussed in terms of those that enable highly sensitive and multiplexed cytokine quantification spanning a wide dynamic range. For each highlighted optical technique, its current detection capabilities as well as associated challenges are discussed. Lastly, an outlook for nanomaterial-based cytokine sensors is provided from the perspective of optimizing the technologies for sensitivity and multiplexity as well as promoting widespread adaptations of the emerging optical techniques by lowering high thresholds currently present in the new approaches.

Abstract
A low cost three-dimensional (3D) printed clear plastic microfluidic device was fabricated for fast, low cost automated protein detection. The unibody device features three reagent reservoirs, an efficient 3D network for passive mixing, and an optically transparent detection chamber housing a glass capture antibody array for measuring chemiluminescence output with a CCD camera. Sandwich type assays were built onto the glass arrays using a multi-labeled detection antibody-polyHRP (HRP = horseradish peroxidase). Total assay time was ∼30 min in a complete automated assay employing a programmable syringe pump so that the protocol required minimal operator intervention. The device was used for multiplexed detection of prostate cancer biomarker proteins prostate specific antigen (PSA) and platelet factor 4 (PF-4). Detection limits of 0.5 pg mL-1 were achieved for these proteins in diluted serum with log dynamic ranges of four orders of magnitude. Good accuracy vs. ELISA was validated by analyzing human serum samples. This prototype device holds good promise for further development as a point-of-care cancer diagnostics tool.

Abstract
Microchip-based microfluidic electrochemical arrays hold great promise for fast, high-throughput multiplexed detection of cancer biomarker proteins at low cost per assay using relatively simple instrumentation. Here we describe an inexpensive high-throughput electrochemical array featuring 32 individually addressable microelectrodes that is further multiplexed with an 8-port manifold to provide 256 sensors. The gold electrode arrays were fabricated by wet-etching commercial gold compact discs (CD-R) followed by patterned insulation. A print-and-peel method was used to create sub-microliter hydrophobic wells surrounding each sensor to eliminate cross contamination during immobilization of capture antibodies. High-throughput analyses were realized using eight 32-sensor immunoarrays connected to the miniaturized 8-port manifold, allowing 256 measurements in <1 h. This system was used to determine prostate cancer biomarker proteins prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and platelet factor-4 (PF-4) in serum. Clinically relevant detection limits (0.05 to 2 pg mL-1) and 5-decade dynamic ranges (sub pg mL-1 to well above ng mL-1) were achieved for these proteins utilizing precapture of analyte proteins on magnetic nanoparticles decorated with enzyme labels and antibodies.

Abstract
Herein we report a low cost, sensitive, supercapacitor-powered electrochemiluminescent (ECL) protein immunoarray fabricated by an inexpensive 3-dimensional (3D) printer. The immunosensor detects three cancer biomarker proteins in serum within 35 min. The 3D-printed device employs hand screen printed carbon sensors with gravity flow for sample/reagent delivery and washing. Prostate cancer biomarker proteins, prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and platelet factor-4 (PF-4) in serum were captured on the antibody-coated carbon sensors followed by delivery of detection-antibody-coated Ru(bpy)3(2+) (RuBPY)-doped silica nanoparticles in a sandwich immunoassay. ECL light was initiated from RuBPY in the silica nanoparticles by electrochemical oxidation with tripropylamine (TPrA) co-reactant using supercapacitor power and ECL was captured with a CCD camera. The supercapacitor was rapidly photo-recharged between assays using an inexpensive solar cell. Detection limits were 300-500f gmL(-1) for the 3 proteins in undiluted calf serum. Assays of 6 prostate cancer patient serum samples gave good correlation with conventional single protein ELISAs. This technology could provide sensitive onsite cancer diagnostic tests in resource-limited settings with the need for only moderate-level training.

Abstract
The application of simple, cost-effective, rapid, and accurate diagnostic technologies for detection and identification of cardiac and cancer biomarkers has been a central point in the clinical area. Biosensors have been recognized as efficient alternatives for the diagnostics of various diseases due to their specificity and potential for application on real samples. The role of nanotechnology in the construction of immunological biosensors, that is, immunosensors, has contributed to the improvement of sensitivity, since they are based in the affinity between antibody and antigen. Other analytes than biomarkers such as hormones, pathogenic bacteria, and virus have also been detected by immunosensors for clinical point-of-care applications. In this chapter, we first introduced the various types of immunosensors and discussed their applications in clinical diagnostics over the recent 6 years, mainly as point-of-care technologies for the determination of cardiac and cancer biomarkers, hormones, pathogenic bacteria, and virus. The future perspectives of these devices in the field of clinical diagnostics are also evaluated.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among the Caucasian adult males in Europe and the USA. Currently available diagnostic strategies for patients with prostate cancer are invasive and unpleasant and have poor accuracy. Many patients have been overly or underly treated resulting in a controversy regarding the reliability of current conventional diagnostic approaches. This review discusses the state-of-the-art research in the development of novel noninvasive prostate cancer diagnostics using nanotechnology coupled with suggested diagnostic strategies for their clinical implication.

Abstract
Many approaches have been developed for simultaneous detection of multiple tumor markers. Among these approaches, the electrochemical immunoassay has the advantage of high sensitivity and specificity and could be easily expanded into multiplex detection platform. For the simultaneous multianalyte electrochemical immunosensor, performance is closely related with the characteristics of the immunoprobes and substrate. In order to construct a multilabeled immunoprobe platform, the most important issue is how to discriminate each signal for each analyte from the multiple antigen-antibody reactions. Currently, enzyme-based, noble metal nanomaterials, carbonmaterials and polymer-based nanomaterial immunoprobes have been used for dual- or three-analyte detections. However, there are still some challenges in developing sensitive method to detect three or more tumor markers owing to the lack of redox-active species that can produce three or more distinctive peaks. Additionally, for the immunosensing substrate, good conductivity, high specific surface area and good biocompatibility are further necessities.

Abstract
Point-of-care diagnostics based on multiplexed protein measurements face challenges of simple, automated, low-cost, and high-throughput operation with high sensitivity. Herein, we describe an automated, microprocessor-controlled microfluidic immunoarray for simultaneous multiplexed detection of small protein panels in complex samples. A microfluidic sample/reagent delivery cassette was coupled to a 30-microwell detection array to achieve sensitive detection of four prostate cancer biomarker proteins in serum. The proteins are prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), platelet factor-4 (PF-4), and interlukin-6 (IL-6). The six channel system is driven by integrated micropumps controlled by an inexpensive programmable microprocessor. The reagent delivery cassette and detection array feature channels made by precision-cut 0.8 mm silicone gaskets. Single-wall carbon nanotube forests were grown in printed microwells on a pyrolytic graphite detection chip and decorated with capture antibodies. The detection chip is housed in a machined microfluidic chamber with a steel metal shim counter electrode and Ag/AgCl reference electrode for electrochemiluminescent (ECL) measurements. The preloaded sample/reagent cassette automatically delivers samples, wash buffers, and ECL RuBPY-silica-antibody detection nanoparticles sequentially. An onboard microcontroller controls micropumps and reagent flow to the detection chamber according to a preset program. Detection employs tripropylamine, a sacrificial reductant, while applying 0.95 V vs Ag/AgCl. Resulting ECL light was measured by a CCD camera. Ultralow detection limits of 10-100 fg mL(-1) were achieved in simultaneous detection of the four protein in 36 min assays. Results for the four proteins in prostate cancer patient serum gave excellent correlation with those from single-protein ELISA.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The epidemiology of prostate cancer has dramatically changed since the introduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in the 1980's. Most prostate cancers today are detected at early stages of the disease and are considered 'indolent'; however, some patients' prostate cancers demonstrate a more aggressive behaviour which leads to rapid progression and death. Increasing understanding of the biology underlying the heterogeneity that characterises this disease has led to a continuously evolving role of imaging in the management of prostate cancer. Functional and metabolic imaging techniques are gaining importance as the impact on the therapeutic paradigm has shifted from structural tumour detection alone to distinguishing patients with indolent tumours that can be managed conservatively (e.g., by active surveillance) from patients with more aggressive tumours that may require definitive treatment with surgery or radiation. In this review, we discuss advanced imaging techniques that allow direct visualisation of molecular interactions relevant to prostate cancer and their potential for translation to the clinical setting in the near future. The potential use of imaging to follow molecular events during drug therapy as well as the use of imaging agents for therapeutic purposes will also be discussed. KEY POINTS • Advanced imaging techniques allow direct visualisation of molecular interactions in prostate cancer. • MRI/PET, optical and Cerenkov imaging facilitate the translation of molecular biology. • Multiple compounds targeting PSMA expression are currently undergoing clinical translation. • Other targets (e.g., PSA, prostate-stem cell antigen, GRPR) are in development.

Abstract
In this work, we report a simple and novel electrochemical multiplexed immunosensor on a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slice deposited with 8 × 8 nano-Au film electrodes for simultaneous detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Primary antibodies linked with magnetic beads (Ab1-MBs) were modified on the nano-Au film electrodes via magnetic force. In the presence of corresponding antigen, horse radish peroxidase-secondary antibody-conjugated gold nanorods (HRP-Ab2-gold NRs) were brought into the surface of electrodes, generating obvious electrochemical signals of H2O2 reduction reactions. Based on this, the designed immunosensor provide good performance in sensitivity and specificity during the detection of above three biomarkers for prostate cancer. The electrochemical multiplexed immunosensor was verified for selective and accurate detection of complex samples in human serum. Data suggested that the reported multiplexed immunosensing strategy holds great promise for applications in clinical assay and diseases diagnosis.

Abstract
Nanomaterials and biomaterials are important components of new electrochemical arrays designed for sensitive detection of proteins in biological fluids. Such multiplexed protein arrays are predicted to have an important future in personalized medical diagnostics, especially for cancer and heart disease. Sandwich immunoassays for proteins benefit greatly in sensitivity from the use of nanostructured sensor surfaces and multilabeled detection strategies involving nano- or microparticles. In these assays, capture agents such as antibodies or aptamers are attached to sensor surfaces in the array. Target proteins with large binding constants for the affinity agents are captured from liquid samples with high efficiency, either on the sensors or on magnetic bioconjugate particles decorated with many copies of labels and antibodies. After target proteins are captured on the sensor surfaces, the labels are detected by electrochemical techniques. This feature article begins with an overview of the recent history of nanoparticles in electrochemical protein sensors, then moves on to specific examples from our own laboratories. We discuss fabrication of nanostructured sensors and arrays with the aim of multiplexed detection as well as reusability. Following this, we describe systems that integrate particle-based protein sensing with microfluidics for multiplexed protein detection. We end with predictions on the diagnostic future of protein detection.

Abstract
The ability to detect many cancers at an early stage in its clinical course has the potential to improve patient outcomes in terms of morbidity and mortality. Nanosized components incorporated into existing clinical diagnostic and detection systems as well as novel nanobiosensors have demonstrated improved sensitivity and specificity compared with traditional cancer testing approaches. Nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, and nanocantilevers are examples of four nanobiosensor systems that have been used experimentally in the context of detection and diagnosis of prostate, breast, pancreatic, lung, and brain cancers over the past few years. Nanobiosensors will begin to transition into clinically validated tests as experimental and engineering techniques advance. This paper presents examples of some such nanobiosensors for cancer diagnosis and detection.

Abstract
An Interleukin-6 (IL-6) electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated based on the Au nanoparticles (AuNP)-graphene-silica sol-gel as immobilization biointerface and AuNP-polydopamine (PDA)@carbon nanotubes (CNT) as the label of HRP-bound antibodies. The AuNP-graphene-silica sol-gel film was prepared in situ and modified on the ITO electrode, providing a stable network for the immobilization of antibody and exhibiting a dynamic working range of 1-40 pg/mL with a low detection limit of 0.3 pg/mL IL-6 (at 3s). The results of serum samples with the sensor received an acceptable agreement with the ELISA method. Importantly, this method provided a promising ultrasensitive assay strategy for clinical applications.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The biotinylated hepatitis B surface antibody was immobilized on streptavidin magnetic nanoparticles and used for targeting the HBsAg. By the addition of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with secondary antibody (HRP-HBsAb), a sandwich-type immunoassay format was formed. Aminophenol as substrate for conjugated HRP was enzymatically changed into 3-aminophenoxazone (3-APZ). This electroactive enzymatic production (3-APZ) was transferred into an electrochemical cell and monitored by cyclic voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the cathodic current response of 3-APZ, which was proportional to the HBsAg concentration, was measured by a glassy carbon electrode. The immunosensor response was linear toward HBsAg in the concentration range from 0.001 to 0.015 ng/ml with a detection limit of 0.9 pg/ml at a signal/noise ratio of 3.
