Biofuel cell-based self-powered immunosensor for detection of 17β-estradiol by integrating the target-induced biofuel release and biogate immunoassay. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:477. [PMID: 39039391 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06553-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
A novel biofuel cell (BFC)-based self-powered electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed by integrating the target-induced biofuel release and biogate immunoassay for ultrasensitive 17β-estradiol (E2) detection. The carbon nanocages/gold nanoparticle composite was employed in the BFCs device as the electrode material, through which bilirubin oxidase and glucose oxidase were wired to form the biocathode and bioanode, respectively. Positively charged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PMSN) were encapsulated with glucose molecules as biofuel and subsequently coated by the negatively charged AuNPs-labelled anti-E2 antibody (AuNPs-Ab) serving as a biogate. The biogate could be opened efficiently and the trapped glucose released once the target E2 was recognized and captured by AuNPs-Ab due to the decreased adhesion between the antigen-antibody complex and PMSN. Then, glucose oxidase oxidized the glucose to produce a large number of electrons, resulting in significantly increased open-circuit voltage (EOCV). Promisingly, the proposed BFC-based self-powered immunosensor demonstrated exceptional sensitivity for the detection of E2 in the concentration range from 1.0 pg mL-1 to 10.0 ng mL -1, with a detection limit of 0.32 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the prepared BFC-based self-powered homogeneous immunosensor showed significant potential for implementation as a viable prototype for a mobile and an on-site bioassay system in food and environmental safety applications.

[PMID: 39009333 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.119871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Leukemia, a type of blood cancer marked by an abnormal increase in white blood cells, poses a significant challenge to healthcare. The key to successful treatment lies in early detection. However, traditional methods often fall short. This review investigates the potential of electrochemical biosensors for a more accurate and earlier diagnosis of leukemia. Electrochemical biosensors are compact devices that transform biological interactions into electrical signals. Their small size, ease of use, and minimal sample requirements make them perfectly suited for point-of-care applications. Their remarkable sensitivity and specificity enable the detection of subtle biomolecular changes associated with leukemia, which is crucial for early disease detection. This review delves into studies that have utilized these biosensors to identify various types of leukemia. It examines the roles of electrodes, biorecognition elements, and signal transduction mechanisms. The discussion includes the integration of nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles and nitrogen-doped graphene into biosensor design. These materials boost sensitivity, enhance signal amplification, and facilitate multi-analyte detection, thereby providing a more holistic view of the disease. Beyond technical advancements, the review underscores the practical benefits of these biosensors. Their portability makes them a promising tool for resource-constrained settings, enabling swift diagnosis in remote areas or at a patient's bedside. The potential for monitoring treatment effectiveness and detecting minimal residual disease to prevent relapse is also explored. This review emphasizes the transformative potential of electrochemical biosensors in combating leukemia. By facilitating earlier and more accurate diagnosis, these biosensors stand to revolutionize patient care and enhance treatment outcomes.

Abstract
D-dimer is a very important biomarker about sepsis, pulmonary thromboembolism and atherosclerosis, thus designing effective and sensitive method for its detection is of great significance. Herein, by synthesizing β-cyclodextrin-carbon nanotube nanohybrid (CNTs-CD) as the carrier to assemble the initial antibody (Ab1) of D-dimer, immobilizing secondary antibody (Ab2) and sulfydryl ferrocene (Fc) on the nanogold (Au) particles surface as the signaling amplifier (Ab2-Au-Fc), a low cost, simple, sensitive and effective sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensing (SEI) platform of D-dimer was proposed in this work for the first time. Briefly, CNTs shows large specific area and superior electroconductivity, and CD provides high host guest recognition ability that could bound with Ab1; meanwhile, the Fc probe offers stable current response which are proportionable positively to the level of D-dimer. Under the best conditions, the designed SEI platform exhibits prominent analytical performances for D-dimer: low detection limit of 3.0 ng mL-1 and large linearity of 10.0-800.0 ng mL-1. In addition, the selectivity, stability and reproducibility as well as real applications of the proposed SEI assay were evaluated and the obtained results are satisfactory.

Abstract
Vitamin B12 being a natural catalyst in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, good biocompatibility and high catalytic efficiency. In this report, an electrochemical biosensor of the lung cancer biomarker microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) is designed for early screening of lung cancer with high sensitivity at the femtomolar level. In this approach, hairpin DNA with N3 end group was first attached to the electrode surface. When miRNA-21 was present and paired with hairpin DNA, the N3 group released and attached to the ATRP initiator through "click reaction". Through eATRP, a large number of FerrocenylMethyl Methacrylate (FcMMA) monomers polymerized into long chains for signal amplification. These long chains had a distinct electrical signal in the square wave voltammetry (SWV), which can detect RNA with high sensitivity. The limit of detection (LOD) goes down to 1.010 fM after ATRP polymerization, which is lower than that of the majority of other ultra-sensitive RNA electrochemical assays. Results also show that the vitamin B12-based electrochemical biosensor is highly selective and suitable for RNA detection in complex biological samples.

Abstract
In the present study, we developed an amino-polyindole modified phosphorus doped graphitic carbon nitride nanomaterial (APIN/P-g-C3N4) based immunosensing biochip for Serum amyloid A (SAA) biomarker towards early diagnosis of Swine flu. The P-g-C3N4 was synthesis via polycondensation and functionalized with APIN. Further, the biochip was fabricated by modifying the working area of SPE with APIN/P-g-C3N4 using drop cast method, APIN introduced the larger loading of -NH2 group moieties onto P-g-C3N4 matrix and benefitted to reinforced the biomolecules via covalent linkages. The monoclonal anti-SAA was conjugated onto APIN/P-g-C3N4/SPE using EDC-NHS chemistry and BSA was added for non-specific site blocking. The structural, chemical, composition and morphological characteristics of the synthesized, functionalized nanomaterial and fabricated biochips were investigated by XRD, XPS, FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, FE-SEM and TEM techniques. Further, the electrochemical characterization and response studies of fabricated biochip were analyzed using the CV and DPV techniques. Based on the analytical performance of the proposed immunosensing biochip i.e. BSA/anti-SAA/APIN/P-g-C3N4/SPE, it is capable to detect SAA protein with ultra sensitivity of 79.5 μA log (mL ng-1) cm-2, ultralow limit of detection of 5 ng mL-1 and wider linear detection range of 5 ng mL-1-500 μg mL-1 with quick response time of 10 min. Moreover, the fabricated immunosensing biochips was used to analyse SAA protein in spiked serum samples and the achieved results demonstrated the good agreement with the electrochemical response observed in standard SAA protein samples in analytical solution. The proposed biochip can provide insights for developing a wide range of clinical screening tools for detecting various contagious diseases.

Abstract
It is of great importance to have sensitive and accurate detection of cis-diol-containing biologically related substances because of their important functions in the research fields of metabolomics, glycomics, and proteomics. Boronic acids can specifically and reversibly interact with 1,2- or 1,3-diols to form five or six cyclic esters. Based on this unique property, boronic acid-based materials have been used as synthetic receptors for the specific recognition and detection of cis-diol-containing species. This review critically summarizes the recent advances with boronic acid-based materials as recognition elements and signal labels for the detection of cis-diol-containing biological species, including ribonucleic acids, glycans, glycoproteins, bacteria, exosomes, and tumor cells. We also address the challenges and future perspectives for developing versatile boronic acid-based materials with various promising applications.

Abstract
In this study, based on the high-throughput automatic sample pretreatment with immunoaffinity magnetic beads with oriented immobilized antibodies, grain and feed fumonisin (FB) content was detected using pre-column automatic derivatization of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The FB capacity of well-oriented antibody immunoaffinity magnetic beads was 1.5-1.8 times that of magnetic beads with randomly fixed antibody. This pre-column automatic derivatization method using an autosampler can reduce error from manual injection and improve detection efficiency. The spiked recoveries for three different concentrations in maize, husked rice, and pig feed under optimized conditions were 84.6-104.0% (RSD < 9.3%). Our novel method was also applied to the analysis of FBs in 63 maize samples collected from the main maize-production regions in China. The results showed that as latitude increased, the contamination level of FBs tended to decrease. High temperature and high humidity are also more favorable for FB growth.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important tumor markers that indicate early metastasis, tumor recurrence, and treatment efficacy. To identify and separate these cells from the blood, new nanomaterials need to be developed. The present study explored the potential application of ZnFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles in capturing CTCs with cell surface markers. Folic acid was coupled to L-cysteine-capped ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles (ZC) to provide binding sites on ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles for the recognition of folate bioreceptors, which are highly expressed in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The cytotoxicity of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles and ZC against MCF-7 was analyzed with the MTT assay. After 24 h of incubation, there were IC50 values of 702.6 and 805.5 µg/mL for ZnFe2O4 and ZC, respectively. However, after 48 h of incubation, IC50 values of ZnFe2O4 and ZC were reduced to 267.3 and 389.7 µg/mL, respectively. The cell quantification was conducted with magnetically collected cells placed on a glassy carbon electrode, and the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) responses were analyzed. This cost-effective ZnFe2O4-based biosensing platform allowed cancer cell detection with a limit of detection of 3 cells/mL, ranging from 25 to 104 cells/mL. In future, these functionalized zinc ferrites may be used in electrochemical cell detection and targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
According to the latest report by International Agency for Research on Cancer, 19.3 million new cancer cases and 10 million cancer deaths were globally reported in 2020. Early diagnosis can reduce these numbers significantly, and biosensors have appeared to be a solution to this problem as, unlike the traditional methods, they have low cost, rapid process, and do not need experts present on site for use. These devices have been incorporated to detect many cancer biomarkers and measure cancer drug delivery. To design these biosensors, a researcher must know about their different types, properties of nanomaterials, and cancer biomarkers. Among all types of biosensors, electrochemical and optical biosensors are the most sensitive and promising sensors for detecting complicated diseases like cancer. The carbon-based nanomaterial family has attracted lots of attention due to their low cost, easy preparation, biocompatibility, and significant electrochemical and optical properties. In this review, we have discussed the application of graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon dots (CDs), and fullerene (C60), for designing different electrochemical and optical cancer-detecting biosensors. Furthermore, the application of these carbon-based biosensors for detecting seven widely studied cancer biomarkers (HER2, CEA, CA125, VEGF, PSA, Alpha-fetoprotein, and miRNA21) is reviewed. Finally, various fabricated carbon-based biosensors for detecting cancer biomarkers and anticancer drugs are comprehensively summarized as well.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of tau at Ser 396, 404 (p-tau396,404) is the earliest phosphorylation event and a promising biomarker for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the detection of blood p-tau is challenging because of its low abundance, easy degradation, and complex formation with various blood proteins or cells, often leading to the underestimation of p-tau levels in conventional plasma-based assays. Herein, we developed a colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode magnetic immunosensor for highly sensitive, specific, and robust detection of p-tau396,404 in whole blood samples. The detection assay was based on an immunoreaction between p-tau396,404 proteins, wherein antibody-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles act as recognition elements to capture p-tau396,404 in blood, and then horseradish peroxidase- and Raman tags label the corresponding paired antibody as a reporter to provide high signal-to-noise ratios for the immunosensor. This dual-mode immunosensor achieved identified as low as 1.5 pg/mL of p-tau396,404 in the blood in SERS mode and 24 pg/mL in colorimetric mode by the naked eye. More importantly, this immunosensor rapidly and accurately distinguished AD patients from healthy individuals based on blood p-tau396,404 levels, and also had the potential to distinguish AD patients of different severities. Therefore, the dual-mode immunosensor is promising for rapid clinical diagnosis of AD, especially in large-scale AD screening.

Abstract
The general electrochemical biosensors for telomerase detection require the immobilization of primers on the electrode surface for telomeric extension and hybridization reactions. However, immobilization of primers may suffer from the challenges of hindrance effect and configuration freedom, thus reducing the extension and hybridization efficiency. Herein, we developed a sensitive electrochemical biosensor for telomerase detection by integration of homogeneous extension and hybridization reactions and surface-tethered detection. In the presence of telomerase, the biotinylated primer (bio-primer) was efficiently elongated with telomeric repeats of (TTAGGG)n at the 3' end in solution. Then, the extension product (bio-DNA) was hybridized with the signal probe DNA modified on the surface of ferrocene (Fc)-capped gold nanoparticle (AuNP). The bio-DNA/DNA/Fc-AuNP hybrids were then tethered by streptavidin-modified electrodes through the specific avidin-biotin interactions, thus producing strong electrochemical signals from the oxidation of Fc tags. The biosensor was successfully used to determine telomerase in HeLa cells and monitor the inhibition efficiency of inhibitor. A wide linear range for the detection of telomerase extracted from HeLa cells was attained. This method has great potential in clinical diagnosis and anti-cancer drug development, and should be beneficial for the fabrication of novel biosensors by integration of homogeneous catalysis and hybridization reactions.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors generally require the immobilization of recognition elements or capture probes on the electrode surface. This may limit their practical applications due to the complex operation procedure and low repeatability and stability. Magnetically assisted biosensors show remarkable advantages in separation and pre-concentration of targets from complex biological samples. More importantly, magnetically assisted sensing systems show high throughput since the magnetic materials can be produced and preserved on a large scale. In this work, we summarized the design of electrochemical biosensors involving magnetic materials as the platforms for recognition reaction and target conversion. The recognition reactions usually include antigen-antibody, DNA hybridization, and aptamer-target interactions. By conjugating an electroactive probe to biomolecules attached to magnetic materials, the complexes can be accumulated near to an electrode surface with the aid of external magnet field, producing an easily measurable redox current. The redox current can be further enhanced by enzymes, nanomaterials, DNA assemblies, and thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification. In magnetically assisted assays, the magnetic substrates are removed by a magnet after the target conversion, and the signal can be monitored through stimuli-response release of signal reporters, enzymatic production of electroactive species, or target-induced generation of messenger DNA.

Novel approach based on GQD-PHB as anchoring platform for the development of SARS-CoV-2 electrochemical immunosensor. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1232:340442.

Abstract
In the present work, we report an innovative approach for immunosensors construction. The experimental strategy is based on the anchoring of biological material at screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) modified with electrodeposited Graphene Quantum Dots (GQD) and polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB). It was used as functional substract basis for the recognition site receptor-binding domain (RBD) from coronavirus spike protein (SARS-CoV-2), for the detection of Anti-S antibodies (AbS). SEM images and EDS spectra suggest an interaction of the protein with GQD-PHB sites at the electrode surface. Differential pulse voltametric (DPV) measurements were performed before and after incubation, in presence of the target, shown a decrease in voltametric signal of an electrochemical probe ([Fe(CN)6]3/4-). Using the optimal experimental conditions, analytical curves were performed in PBS and human serum spiked with AbS showing a slight matrix effect and a relationship between voltametric signal and AbS concentration in the range of 100 ng mL-1 and 10 μg mL-1. The selectivity of the proposed sensor was tested against yellow fever antibodies (YF) and the selective layer on the electrode surface did not interact with these unspecific antibodies. Eight samples of blood serum were analyzed and 87.5% of these total investigated provided adequate results. In addition, the present approach showed better results against traditional EDC/NHS reaction with enhancements in time and the possibility to develop an immunosensor in a single drop, since the proteins can be anchored prior to the electrode modification step.

Abstract
Developing new ultrasensitive assays for the detection of the presence, and determination of the serotype of the most poisonous material known i.e. botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is vital to human health and the wellbeing of the surrounding environment. Here, an electrochemical sandwich immunoassay with high sensitivity is adopted to achieve simultaneous determination of BoNT serotypes A and E based on polystyrene@polydopamine/Cd2+ and Ag nanoparticles acting as monoclonal antibody labels. Two well-separated peaks with strong electrochemical signals are generated by the labels, allowing for the simultaneous detection of two analytes existing on the electrode. To obtain well-oriented polyclonal antibodies immobilization, boronic acid is directly attached to the magnetic core/metal-organic framework (MOF) shell nanoagent surfaces without the requirement of a long and flexible spacer. Accordingly, it is possible to directly detect the metal ion labels through square wave voltammetry without the metal pre-concentration step. This results in distinct and well-defined voltammetric peaks, pertaining to each sandwich-type immunocomplexes. The limits of detection of BoNT/A and BoNT/E analyses were found to be 0.04 and 0.16 pg mL-1 with the linear dynamic ranges of 0.1-1000 and 0.5-1000 pg mL-1, respectively. Based on the obtained results, this immunosensor has the wide linear ranges, while also exhibiting low limits of detection along with good stability and reproducibility.

Abstract
This work describes a facile fabrication of an efficient electrochemical sensor utilizing sonication-derived Galinstan nanoparticles (Galinstan NPs) interfaced to annealed dirhenium heptoxide (Re2O7) thin-film on Silicon (Si) for the quantitative detection of the most promising acute renal disease biomarker Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL). Under optimized preconditions, the anti-NGAL antibodies were immobilized on the Galinstan NPs/Re2O7/Si electrode by carbodiimide crosslinking to detect NGAL. The composition, morphology, and structural properties of the electrode were elucidated by various physical characterizations. The sensor obtained a high sensitivity (0.018 µA-1ng-1ml-1, R2 = 0.99) in differential pulse voltammetry and a minimum detection limit (2.14 ng ml-1) in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for a wide range of NGAL concentrations (25-650 ng ml-1) with high selectivity and stability. The intensified performance of the sensor was achieved by the summed-up electron transfer from the Re2O7 film to Galinstan NPs and Galinstan NPs to the electroactive reactants. Additionally, the outer 2D gallium oxide (Ga2O3) layer of Galinstan Nps enhanced the redox activities, whereas the metallic core contributed to the magnificent conductivity. The excellent recovery rates of the sensor for different concentrations of NGAL measured in commercial human serum by the standard addition method assured the feasibility of the sensor.

Abstract
Blood analysis is an established approach to monitor various diseases, ranging from heart defects and diabetes to cancer. Among various tumor markers in the blood, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have received increasing attention due to the fact that they originate directly from the tumors. Capturing and detecting CTCs represents a promising approach in cancer diagnostics and clinical management of cancers. CTCs in blood progress to self-seeding a tumour or initiating a new lesion mass. Cytosensors are biosensors intended to identify CTCs in a blood sample of cancer patients and provide information about the cancer status. Herein, we firstly discuss different detection methods of state-of-the-art optical cytosensors, including colorimetry, fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance, photoelectrochemistry and electrochemiluminescence. Then we review the significant advances made in implementing biorecognition elements and nanomaterials for the detection of cancer cells. Despite great progress in optical cytosensors, and their integration with smartphones, they have still only been explored to prototype stages. Much more effort is needed to fulfil their potential in modern cancer diagnostics and in monitoring the state of disease for cancer patients.

Abstract
The immunosensor has been proven a versatile tool to detect various analytes, such as food contaminants, pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics and biomarkers related to cancer. To fabricate robust and reproducible immunosensors with high sensitivity, the covalent immobilization of immunoglobulins (IgGs) in a site-specific manner contributes to better performance. Instead of the random IgG orientations result from the direct yet non-selective immobilization techniques, this review for the first time introduces the advances of stepwise yet site-selective conjugation strategies to give better biosensing efficiency. Noncovalently adsorbing IgGs is the first but decisive step to interact specifically with the Fc fragment, then following covalent conjugate can fix this uniform and antigens-favorable orientation irreversibly. In this review, we first categorized this stepwise strategy into two parts based on the different noncovalent interactions, namely adhesive layer-mediated interaction onto homofunctional support and layer-free interaction onto heterofunctional support (which displays several different functionalities on its surface that are capable to interact with IgGs). Further, the influence of ligands characteristics (synthesis strategies, spacer requirements and matrices selection) on the heterofunctional support has also been discussed. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives for the real-world application of stepwise covalent conjugation are discussed. This review provides more insights into the fabrication of high-efficiency immunosensor, and special attention has been devoted to the well-orientation of full-length IgGs onto the sensing platform.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that boron induces changes in the immune response, including in inflammatory processes. Recently, the effect of boric acid has been documented on the differentiation of lymphocyte clusters in mice and rats. However, the differences among boron-containing compounds (BCC) have been poorly explored. METHODS In this study, we analyzed the effects after oral administration of boric acid (BOR), methylboronic (MET), 3-thyenylboronic (3TB), 4-hydroxymethyl-phenylboronic (4MP) and 4-methanesulfonyl-phenylboronic (4SP) acids on the populations of lymphocytes from spleen and Peyer's patch (PP) as well as on antibodies. Groups of six male BALB/c were orally treated with 4.6 mg/kg of body weight with BOR, MET, 3TB, 4MP, and 4SP/daily for 10 days or vehicle (VEH) as a control group. After euthanasia, the spleen and small intestine were dissected. We conducted flow cytometry assays to assess B, CD3+ T, CD4+ T, and CD8+ T cells. Levels of IgG and IgM in serum, and IgA in intestinal fluid samples were analyzed by enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS In particular, we observed the effects of the administration of boronic acids on the number of lymphocytes; these changes were more notable in spleen than in PP. We found different profiles for each boron-containing compound, that is BOR induced an increase in the percentage of CD8+ T and CD19+/IgA+ cells in spleen, but a decrease in CD8+ T and B220+/CD19+ cells in PP. Meanwhile MET induced a decrease of CD4+ T in spleen, but induced an increase of CD4+ T cells and a decrease in the number of CD8+ T cells in PP. Boronic acids with an aromatic ring moiety induced changes in serum immunoglobulins levels, while 3TB acid induced a notable increase in S-IgA. CONCLUSIONS Effects in lymphocyte populations and antibodies are different for each tested compound. These results highlight the establishment of the necessary structure-activity relationship for BCC as immunomodulatory drugs. This is relevant in the biomedical field due to their attractiveness for selecting compounds to develop therapeutic tools.

Abstract
An elevated level of low density lipoprotein (LDL) can lead to the cardiovascular system-related diseases, such as atherosclerosis and others. Therefore, fast, simple, and accurate methods for LDL detection are very desirable. In this work, the parameters characterizing the electrochemical immuno-and aptasensor for detection of LDL have been compared for the first time. An immunosensor has been designed, for which the anti-apolipoprotein B-100 antibody was covalently attached to 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) on the surface of the gold electrode. In the case of an aptasensor, the gold electrode was modified in a mixture of ssDNA aptamer specific for LDL modified with –SH group and 6-mercaptohexanol. Square-wave voltammetry has been used for detection of LDL in PBS containing redox active marker, [Fe(CN)6]3−/4−. Our results show the linear dependence of [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox signal changes on LDL concentration for both biosensors, in the range from 0.01 ng/mL to 1.0 ng/mL. The limit of detection was 0.31 and 0.25 ng/mL, for immuno- and aptasensor, respectively. Whereas slightly better selectivity toward human serum albumin (HSA), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and malondialdehyde modified low density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) has been observed for aptasensor. Moreover, the other components of human blood serum samples did not influence aptasensor sensitivity.

Abstract
Quantitative detection of cancer cells using portable devices is promising for the development of simple, fast, and point-of-care cancer diagnostic techniques. However, how to further amplify the detection signal to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting cancer cells by portable devices remains a challenge. To solve the problem, we, for the first time, synthesized folic-acid-conjugated Au nanoframes (FA-Au NFs) with amplification of pressure and temperature signals for highly sensitive and accurate detection of cancer cells by portable pressure meters and thermometers. The resulting Au NFs exhibit excellent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal performance and catalase activity, which can promote the decomposition of NH4HCO3 and H2O2 to generate corresponding gases (CO2, NH3, and O2), thereby synergistically amplifying pressure signals in a closed reaction vessel. At the same time, Au NFs with excellent peroxidase-like activity can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce TMB oxide (oxTMB) with a strong photothermal effect, thereby cooperating with Au NFs to amplify the photothermal signal. In the presence of cancer cells with overexpressing folate receptors (FRs), the molecular recognition signals between FA and FR can be converted into amplified pressure and temperature signals, which can be easily read by portable pressure meters and thermometers, respectively. The detection limits for cancer cells using pressure meters and thermometers are 6 and 5 cells/mL, respectively, which are better than other reported methods. Moreover, such Au NFs can improve tumor hypoxia by catalyzing the decomposition of H2O2 to produce O2 and perform photothermal therapy of cancer. Together, our work provides new insight into the application of Au NFs to develop a dual-signal sensing platform with amplification of pressure and temperature signals for portable and ultrasensitive detection of cancer cells as well as personalized cancer therapy.

Abstract
As one of the representatives of nano-graphene materials, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have more novel electrical properties, highly adjustable electronic properties, and optoelectronic properties than graphene due to their diverse geometric structures and atomic precision configurations. The electrical properties and band gaps of GNRs depend on their width, length, boundary configuration and other elemental doping, etc. With the improvement of the preparation technology and level of GNRs with atomic precision, increasing number of GNRs with different configurations are being prepared. They all show novel electrical properties and high tunability, which provides a broad prospect for the application of GNRs in the field of microelectronics. Here, we summarize the latest GNR-based achievements in recent years and summarize the latest electrical properties and potential applications of GNRs.

Abstract
A novel cytosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection and nondestructive release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by combining Au nanoparticles-loaded two-dimensional bimetallic PdMo (2D Au@PdMo) nanozymes and electrochemical reductive desorption. The 2D Au@PdMo nanozymes possessed high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity and were assembled with an aptamer composed of a thiol-modified epithelial specific cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) to strengthen CTCs adhesion. Moreover, the electrode surface was decorated with highly fractal Au nanostructures (HFAuNSs) composites due to the similarity in fractal nanostructure with the CTCs membrane to enhance the CTCs anchoring efficiency and release capability. The captured CTCs could be further efficiently dissociated and nondestructively released from the modified electrodes upon electrochemical reductive desorption. The designed cytosensor showed an excellent analytical performance, with a wide linear range from 2 to 1 × 105 cells mL-1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 2 cells mL-1 (S/N = 3) at the working potential in the range -0.6 to 0.2 V. A satisfactory CTCs release reaching a range of 93.7-97.4% with acceptable RSD from 3.55 to 6.41% and good cell viability was obtained. Thus, the developed cytosensor might provide a potential alternative to perform CTC-based liquid biopsies, with promising applications in early diagnosis of tumors.

Abstract
Effective signal amplification is a prerequisite for electrochemical immunosensors to achieve ultra-sensitive detection. In this work, we prepared a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for the quantitative detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). As a base platform, Ag NPs modified aminated two-dimensional nitrogen carbide nanosheets (Ag/g-C3N4) have good biocompatibility and conductivity. In addition, with the layered structure of Au@SiO2/Cu2O as the signal label, the response current value of H2O2 was monitored by the Amperometric i-t Curve (i-t), so as to realize the accurate measurement of CEA. The presence of SiO2 nanoframes not only reduces the agglomeration of Au NPs and Cu2O but also provides good biocompatibility to facilitate the connection of secondary antibodies. Finally, we also verified the signal amplification mechanism of the immunosensor through XPS and other means, and calculated the kinetic parameters of the signal tag, which proved the good peroxidase-like activity of Au@SiO2/Cu2O. Under the best test conditions, the prepared immunosensor has a detection range from 0.01 pg/mL to 80 ng/mL, and the detection limit is as low as 0.0038 pg/mL. The results show that the immunosensor has good analytical performance and it can provide a new method for the clinical diagnosis of CEA.

Abstract
In recent years, a new type of quasi-one-dimensional graphene-based material, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), has attracted increasing attention. The limited domain width and rich edge configurations of GNRs endow them with unique properties and wide applications in comparison to two-dimensional graphene. This review article mainly focuses on the electrical, chemical and other properties of GNRs, and further introduces the typical preparation methods of GNRs, including top-down and bottom-up strategies. Then, their biosensing and biomedical applications are highlighted in detail, such as biosensors, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, etc. Finally, the challenges and future prospects in the synthesis and application of functionalized GNRs are discussed.

Abstract
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a sensitive and specific biomarker for sepsis diagnosis. In this study, a novel ratio-typed electrochemical immunosensor was constructed for reliable and sensitive assay of PCT based on hierarchical PtCoIr nanowires/polyethylene polyamine-grafted-ferrocene (PtCoIr HNWs/PEPA-Fc) and porous SiO2@Ag nanoparticles-toluidine blue (porous SiO2@Ag NPs-TB). Importantly, the PtCoIr HNWs/PEPA-Fc was first modified on the sensing interface, which harvested stable and strong electrochemical signals for readout of Fc due to the enriched anchoring sites created by the PtCoIr HNWs. Meanwhile, porous SiO2@Ag NPs-TB behaved as the label to conjugate with secondary antibody (Ab2), which also provided another strong detection signals originated from TB confined in such porous structures. The resulting immunosensor displayed a measurable output of procalcitonin (PCT) in the dynamic scope of 0.001 ~ 100 ng mL-1 with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.46 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Moreover, we exploited this strategy for PCT assay in a diluted human serum sample with acceptable results, exhibiting promising applications in the clinical analysis.

Abstract
An epoxy-functionalized polymer based on a new skeleton has been prepared via an efficient method and it combined with aminated carbon nanotubes to form a new composite material. This new composite material was applied for the fabrication of an electrochemical immunosensor with good performance. The inexpensive and easily available IgG was used to test the performance of the prepared composite material. The levels of IgG were quantitatively analyzed using a differential pulse voltammetry detection system and the lowest detection limit was calculated to be 0.05 ng/mL. The detection system can also respond to IgG in the concentration range from 0.1 to 25 ng/mL.

Abstract
Herein, by taking advantage of the special binding of an aptamer to the membrane surface of a B cell and accumulation of the positive charges of a nanocomposite, including luminol-chitosan-platinum nanoparticles (L-Cs-Pt NPs), on the negatively charge of the aptamer phosphate backbone, a sensitive, simple, selective and rapid strategy for the detection of lymphoma cells by a new label-free electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor has been introduced. With increasing concentrations of B lymphoma cells, the nanocomposite detaches from the aptamer, leading to a decrease in the ECL of a luminol and H2O2 system. With high loading of luminol and Pt NPs on a chitosan, together with the electrocatalytic effect of Pt NPs, enhanced sensitive detection of cancer cells with a limit of detection of 31 cells/mL was achieved. Step-by-step modification and biosensor response to cancer cells was monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and ECL. The aptasensor exhibited excellent specificity for lymphoma cells vs breast cancer (MCF-7) and human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell lines as potential interferents. Finally, the performance of the aptasensor in blood samples was assessed against a commercial flow cytometric method. Satisfactory results confirmed the applicability of the proposed biosensing platform.

Highly sensitive and specific graphene/TiO 2 impedimetric immunosensor based on plant-derived tetravalent envelope glycoprotein domain III (EDIII) probe antigen for dengue diagnosis. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 176:112895. [PMID: 33358432 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
This study reports on the development of a novel impedimetric immunosensor design using plant-derived antigenic glycoprotein for the detection of dengue virus (DENV) IgG antibodies. The electrochemical immunosensor platform was constructed using screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with graphene/titanium dioxide (G/TiO2) nanocomposite to improve the electrode in terms electrochemical performance and specific surface area. A plant-derived dengue envelope domain III (EDIII) protein was used as the antigenic probe protein in this immunosensing strategy. Under optimised sensing conditions, the immunosensor demonstrated high sensitivity towards DENV IgG in a wide linear working range (62.5-2000 ng/mL), with a limit of detection of 2.81 ng/mL. The immunosensor showed high specificity for discriminating DENV IgG against antibodies of other infectious disease, including the closely related Zika virus (ZIKV). The reliability of the immunosensor in serological diagnosis was verified by challenging the immunosensor against serum samples, compared to conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). As shown by its remarkable performance throughout the study, the devised immunosensor is proposed as a reliable and practical diagnostic tool for the serological detection of dengue in realistic applications.
