Abstract
Low-dimensional semiconductor-based field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors are promising for label-free detection of biotargets while facing challenges in mass fabrication of devices and reliable reading of small signals. Here, we construct a reliable technology for mass production of semiconducting carbon nanotube (CNT) film and FET biosensors. High-uniformity randomly oriented CNT films were prepared through an improved immersion coating technique, and then, CNT FETs were fabricated with coefficient of performance variations within 6% on 4-in. wafers (within 9% interwafer) based on an industrial standard-level process. The CNT FET-based ion sensors demonstrated threshold voltage standard deviations within 5.1 mV at each ion concentration, enabling direct reading of the concentration information based on the drain current. By integrating bioprobes, we achieved detection of biosignals as low as 100 aM through a plug-and-play portable detection system. The reliable technology will contribute to commercial applications of CNT FET biosensors, especially in point-of-care tests.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) of noble metals such as silver (Ag NPs) or gold (Au NPs) draw the attention of scientists looking for new compounds to use in medical applications. Scientists have used metal NPs because of their easy preparation, biocompatibility, ability to influence the shape and size or modification, and surface functionalization. However, to fully use their capabilities, both the benefits and their potential threats should be considered. One possibility to reduce the potential threat and thus prevent the extinction of their properties resulting from the agglomeration, they are covered with a neutral material, thus obtaining core-shell nanostructures that can be further modified and functionalized depending on the subsequent application. In this review, we focus on discussing the properties and applications of Ag NPs and Au NPs in the medical field such as the treatment of various diseases, drug carriers, diagnostics, and many others. In addition, the following review also discusses the use and potential applications of Ag@SiO2 and Au@SiO2 core-shell nanostructures, which can be used in cancer therapy and diagnosis, treatment of infections, or tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is caused by changes in the cervix that lead to precancerous cells and eventually progress to cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the primary cause of cervical cancer. Early detection of HPV is crucial in preventing cervical cancer, and regular screening for HPV infection can identify cell changes before they develop into cancer. While Pap smear tests are reliable for cervical cancer screening, they are critical, expensive, and labor-intensive. Therefore, researchers are focusing on identifying blood-based biomarkers using biosensors for cervical cancer screening. HPV strains 16, 45, and 18 are common culprits in cervical cancer. This study aimed to develop an HPV-16 DNA biosensor on a zeolite-iron oxide (zeolite-IO) modified interdigitated electrode (IDE) sensor. The DNA probe was immobilized on the IDE through amine-modified zeolite-IO, enhancing the hybridization of the target and DNA probe. The detection limit of the DNA-DNA duplex was found to be 7.5 pM with an R2 value of 0.9868. Additionally, control experiments with single and triple mismatched sequences showed no increase in current responses, and the identification of target DNA in a serum-spiked sample indicated specific and selective target identification.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors can be used to measure the charge information carried by biomolecules. However, insurmountable hysteresis in the long-term and large-range transfer characteristic curve exists and affects the measurements. Noise signal, caused by the interference coefficient of external factors, may destroy the quantitative analysis of trace targets in complex biological systems. In this report, a "rectified signal" in the output characteristic curve, instead of the "absolute value signal" in the transfer characteristic curve, is obtained and analyzed to solve these problems. The proposed asymmetric Schottky barrier-generated MoS2/WTe2 FET biosensor achieved a 105 rectified signal, sufficient reliability and stability (maintained for 60 days), ultra-sensitive detection (10 aM) of the Down syndrome-related DYRK1A gene, and excellent specificity in base recognition. This biosensor with a response range of 10 aM-100 pM has significant application potential in the screening and rapid diagnosis of Down syndrome.

Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which is significant for the daily management of diabetes, requires a low-power-consumption sensor system that can track low nanomolar levels of glucose in physiological fluids, such as sweat and tears. However, traditional electrochemical methods are limited to analytes in micromolar to millimolar ranges and entail high power consumption. Carbon nanotube (CNT) film field-effect transistors (FETs) are promising for constructing extremely sensitive biosensors, but their wide applications in CGM are limited by the strong screening effect of physiological fluids and the zero charge of glucose molecules. In this study, we demonstrate a glucose aptamer-modified CNT FET biosensor to realize a highly sensitive CGM system with sub-nW power consumption by applying a suitable gate voltage. A positive gate voltage can enlarge the effective Debye screening length at the double layer to reduce the local ion population nearby and then improve the sensitivity of the FET-based biosensors by 5 times. We construct CNT FET sensors for CGM with a limit of detection of 0.5 fM, a record dynamic range up to 109, and a power consumption down to ∼100 pW. The proposed field-modulated sensing performance scheme is applicable to other aptamer-based FET biosensors for detecting neutral or less charged molecules and opens opportunities to develop facilely modulated, highly sensitive, low-power, and noninvasive CGM systems.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 was the greatest global threat to human health in the last three years. The most widely used methodologies for the diagnosis of COVID-19 are quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and rapid antigen tests (RATs). PCR is time-consuming and requires specialized instrumentation operated by skilled personnel. In contrast, RATs can be used in-home or at point-of-care but are less sensitive, leading to a higher rate of false negative results. In this work, we describe the development of a disposable, electrochemical, and laser-scribed graphene-based biosensor strips for COVID-19 detection that exploits a split-ester bond ligase system (termed 'EsterLigase') for immobilization of a virus-specific nanobody to maintain the out-of-plane orientation of the probe to ensure the efficacy of the probe-target recognition process. An anti-spike VHH E nanobody, genetically fused with the EsterLigase domain, was used as the specific probe for the spike receptor-binding domain (SP-RBD) protein as the target. The recognition between the two was measured by the change in the charge transfer resistance determined by fitting the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra. The developed LSG-based biosensor achieved a linear detection range for the SP-RBD from 150 pM to 15 nM with a sensitivity of 0.0866 [log(M)]-1 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 7.68 pM.

Methods gold standard in clinic millifluidics multiplexed extended gate field-effect transistor biosensor with gold nanoantennae as signal amplifiers. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 241:115701. [PMID: 37757510 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
We present a portable multiplexed biosensor platform based on the extended gate field-effect transistor and demonstrate its amplified response thanks to gold nanoparticle-based bioconjugates introduced as a part of the immunoassay. The platform comprises a disposable chip hosting an array of 32 extended gate electrodes, a readout module based on a single transistor operating in constant charge mode, and a multiplexer to scan sensing electrodes one-by-one. Although employing only off-the-shelf electronic components, our platform achieves sensitivities comparable to fully customized nanofabricated potentiometric sensors. In particular, it reaches a detection limit of 0.2 fM for the pure molecular assay when sensing horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibody (∼0.4 nM reached by standard microplate methods). Furthermore, with the gold nanoparticle bioconjugation format, we demonstrate ca. 5-fold amplification of the potentiometric response compared to a pure molecular assay, at the detection limit of 13.3 fM. Finally, we elaborate on the mechanism of this amplification and propose that nanoparticle-mediated disruption of the diffusion barrier layer is the main contributor to the potentiometric signal enhancement. These results show the great potential of our portable, sensitive, and cost-efficient biosensor for multidimensional diagnostics in the clinical and laboratory settings, including e.g., serological tests or pathogen screening.

Unamplified system for sensitive and typing detection of ASFV by the cascade platform that CRISPR-Cas12a combined with graphene field-effect transistor. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 240:115637.

Abstract
At present, the 100% case fatality and the cross-infection of virus strains make the ASFV 's harm to society continue to expand. The absence of an effective commercial vaccine poses early detection remains the most effective means of curbing ASFV infection. Here, we report a cascaded detection platform based on the CRISPR-Cas12a system combined with graphene field-effect transistor sensors. The cascade platform could detect ASFV as low as 0.5 aM within 30 min and achieve typing of wild and vaccine strains of ASFV in a single detection system. The evaluation of 16 clinical samples proved that, compared with the gold standard Real-time PCR method, this platform has outstanding advantages in sensitivity, specificity and typing. Combining CRISPR-Cas12a's high specificity with the bipolar electric field effect of graphene field-effect transistor, the cascade platform is expected to achieve clinical application in the field of DNA disease detection, and provides a new direction for multi-strain disease typing.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive identification of biomarkers in biofluids is essential for the precise diagnosis of diseases. For the gold standard approaches, polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cumbersome operational steps hinder their point-of-care applications. Here, a bionic biomarker entrapment system (BioES) is implemented, which employs a multi-body Y-shaped tetrahedral DNA probe immobilized on carbon nanotube transistors. Clinical identification of endometriosis is successfully realized by detecting an estrogen receptor, ERβ, from the lesion tissue of endometriosis patients and establishing a standard diagnosis procedure. The multi-body Y-shaped BioES achieves a theoretical limit of detection (LoD) of 6.74 aM and a limit of quantification of 141 aM in a complex protein milieu. Furthermore, the BioES is optimized into a multi-site recognition module for enhanced binding efficiency, realizing the first identification of monkeypox virus antigen A35R and unamplified detection of circulating tumor DNA of breast cancer in serum. The rigid and compact probe framework with synergy effect enables the BioES to target A35R and DNA with a LoD down to 991 and 0.21 aM, respectively. Owing to its versatility for proteins and nucleic acids as well as ease of manipulation and ultra-sensitivity, the BioES can be leveraged as an all-encompassing tool for population-wide screening of epidemics and clinical disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor-based biosensors have gained increasing interest due to their reactive surface to external stimuli and the adaptive feedback required for advanced sensing platforms in biohybrid neural interfaces. However, complex probing methods for surface functionalization remain a challenge that limits the industrial implementation of such devices. Herein, a simple, label-free biosensor based on molybdenum oxide (MoO3) with dopamine-regulated plasticity is demonstrated. Dopamine oxidation facilitated locally at the channel surface initiates a charge transfer mechanism between the molecule and the oxide, altering the channel conductance and successfully emulating the tunable synaptic weight by neurotransmitter activity. The oxygen level of the channel is shown to heavily affect the device's electrochemical properties, shifting from a nonreactive metallic characteristic to highly responsive semiconducting behavior. Controllable responsivity is achieved by optimizing the channel's dimension, which allows the devices to operate in wide ranges of dopamine concentration, from 100 nM to sub-mM levels, with excellent selectivity compared with K+, Na+, and Ca2+.

Abstract
To ensure the operational stability of transistor-based biosensors in aqueous electrolytes during multiple measurements, effective electrode passivation is crucially important for reliable and reproducible device performances. This paper presents a highly effective and efficient electrode passivation method using a facile solution-processed self-assembled multilayer (SAML) with excellent insulation property to achieve operational stability and reproducibility of electrolyte-gated transistor (EGT) biosensors. The SAML is created by the consecutive self-assembly of three different molecular layers of 1,10-decanedithiol, vinyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, and 1-octadecanethiol. This passivation enables EGT to operate stably in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) during repeated measurements over multiple cycles without short-circuiting. The SAML-passivated EGT biosensor is fabricated with a solution-processed In2O3 thin film as an amorphous oxide semiconductor working both as a semiconducting channel in the transistor and as a functionalizable biological interface for a bioreceptor. The SAML-passivated EGT including In2O3 thin film is demonstrated for the detection of Tau protein as a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease while employing a Tau-specific DNA aptamer as a bioreceptor and a PBS solution with a low ionic strength to diminish the charge-screening (Debye length) effect. The SAML-passivated EGT biosensor functionalized with the Tau-specific DNA aptamer exhibits ultrasensitive, quantitative, and reliable detection of Tau protein from 1 × 10-15 to 1 × 10-10 M, covering a much larger range than clinical needs, via changes in different transistor parameters. Therefore, the SAML-based passivation method can be effectively and efficiently utilized for operationally stable and reproducible transistor-based biosensors. Furthermore, this presented strategy can be extensively adapted for advanced biomedical devices and bioelectronics in aqueous or physiological environments.

Abstract
The performance of the graphene-based field-effect transistor (FET) as a biosensor is based on the output drain current (Id). In this work, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was investigated to obtain a high-performance device that produces a higher Id value. Using the finite element method, a novel top-gate FET was developed in a three-dimensional (3D) simulation model with the titanium dioxide-reduced graphene oxide (TiO2-rGO) nanocomposite as the transducer material, which acts as a platform for biosensing application. Using the Taguchi mixed-level method in Minitab software (Version 16.1.1), eighteen 3D models were designed based on an orthogonal array L18 (6134), with five factors, and three and six levels. The parameters considered were the channel length, electrode length, electrode width, electrode thickness and electrode type. The device was fabricated using the conventional photolithography patterning technique and the metal lift-off method. The material was synthesised using the modified sol-gel method and spin-coated on top of the device. According to the results of the ANOVA, the channel length contributed the most, with 63.11%, indicating that it was the most significant factor in producing a higher Id value. The optimum condition for the highest Id value was at a channel length of 3 µm and an electrode size of 3 µm × 20 µm, with a thickness of 50 nm for the Ag electrode. The electrical measurement in both the simulation and experiment under optimal conditions showed a similar trend, and the difference between the curves was calculated to be 28.7%. Raman analyses were performed to validate the quality of TiO2-rGO.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors based on two-dimensional materials have gained extensive attention due to their high sensitivity, label-free detection capability, and fast response. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), with tunable bandgap, high surface-to-volume ratio, and smooth surface without dangling bonds, is a promising material for FET biosensors. Previous reports have demonstrated the fabrication of MoS2-FET biosensors and their high sensitivity detection of proteins. However, most prior research has focused on the realization of MoS2-FETs for detecting different kinds of proteins or molecules, while comprehensive analysis of the sensing mechanism and dominant device factors of MoS2-FETs in response to proteins is yet to investigate. In this study, we first fabricated MoS2-FET biosensor and detected different types of proteins (immunoglobulin G (IgG),β-actin, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA)). Secondly, we built the model of the device and analyzed the sensing mechanism of MoS2-FETs in response to proteins. Experimental and modeling results showed that the induced doping effect and gating effect caused by the target protein binding to the device surface were the major influential factors. Specifically, the channel doping concentration and gate voltage (Vg) offset exhibited monotonic change as the concentration of the protein solution increases. For example, the channel doping concentration increased up to ∼37.9% and theVgoffset was ∼-1.3 V with 10-7μgμl-1IgG. The change was less affected by the device size. We also investigated the effects of proteins with opposite acid-base properties (β-actin and PSA) to IgG on the device sensing mechanism.β-actin and PSA exhibited behavior opposite to that of IgG. Additionally, we studied the response behavior of MoS2-FETs with different dimensions and dielectric materials (channel length, MoS2thickness, dielectric layer thickness, dielectric layer material) to proteins. The underlying mechanisms were discussed in details. This study provides valuable guidelines for the design and application of MoS2-FET biosensors.

Abstract
Despite over a decade of intense research efforts, the full potential of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides continues to be limited by major challenges. The lack of compatible and scalable dielectric materials and integration techniques restrict device performances and their commercial applications. Conventional dielectric integration techniques for bulk semiconductors are difficult to adapt for atomically thin two-dimensional materials. This review provides a brief introduction into various common and emerging dielectric synthesis and integration techniques and discusses their applicability for 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. Dielectric integration for various applications is reviewed in subsequent sections including nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, flexible electronics, valleytronics, biosensing, quantum information processing, and quantum sensing. For each application, we introduce basic device working principles, discuss the specific dielectric requirements, review current progress, present key challenges, and offer insights into future prospects and opportunities.

Abstract
Nowadays, virus pandemics have become a major burden seriously affecting human health and social and economic development. Thus, the design and fabrication of effective and low-cost techniques for early and accurate virus detection have been given priority for prevention and control of such pandemics. Biosensors and bioelectronic devices have been demonstrated as promising technology to resolve the major drawbacks and problems of the current detection methods. Discovering and applying advanced materials have offered opportunities to develop and commercialize biosensor devices for effectively controlling pandemics. Along with various well-known materials such as gold and silver nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, metal oxide-based materials, and graphene, conjugated polymer (CPs) have become one of the most promising candidates for preparation and construction of excellent biosensors with high sensitivity and specificity to different virus analytes owing to their unique π orbital structure and chain conformation alterations, solution processability, and flexibility. Therefore, CP-based biosensors have been regarded as innovative technologies attracting great interest from the community for early diagnosis of COVID-19 as well as other virus pandemics. For providing precious scientific evidence of CP-based biosensor technologies in virus detection, this review aims to give a critical overview of the recent research related to use of CPs in fabrication of virus biosensors. We emphasize structures and interesting characteristics of different CPs and discuss the state-of-the-art applications of CP-based biosensors as well. In addition, different types of biosensors such as optical biosensors, organic thin film transistors (OTFT), and conjugated polymer hydrogels (CPHs) based on CPs are also summarized and presented.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a recognized biomarker for lung cancer and can be used for early detection. However, the clinical value of CEA is not fully realized due to the rigorous requirement for high-sensitivity and wide-range detection methods. Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors, as one of the potentially powerful platforms, may detect CEA with a significantly higher sensitivity than conventional clinical testing equipment, while their sensitivity and detection range for CEA are far below the requirement for early detection. Here, we construct a floating gate FET biosensor to detect CEA based on a semiconducting carbon nanotube (CNT) film combined with an undulating yttrium oxide (Y2O3) dielectric layer as the biosensing interface. Utilizing an undulating biosensing interface, the proposed device showed a wider detection range and optimized sensitivity and detection limit, which benefited from an increase of probe-binding sites on the sensing interface and an increase of electric double-layer capacitance, respectively. The outcomes of analytical studies confirm that the undulating Y2O3 provided the desired biosensing surface for probe immobilization and performance optimization of a CNT-FET biosensor toward CEA including a wide detection range from 1 fg/mL to 1 ng/mL, good linearity, and high sensitivity of 72 ag/mL. More crucially, the sensing platform can function normally in the complicated environment of fetal bovine serum, indicating its great promise for early lung cancer screening.

Abstract
As a major public health issue, early cancer detection is of great significance. A field-effect transistor (FET) based on an MoS2/C60 composite nanolayer as the channel material enhances device performance by adding a light source, allowing the ultrasensitive detection of cancer-related miRNA. In this work, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to deposit MoS2 layer by layer, and C60 was deposited by an evaporation coater to obtain a composite nanolayer with good surface morphology as the channel material of the FET. Based on the good absorption of C60 by blue-violet light, a 405 nm laser was selected to irradiate the channel material, improving the function of FET biosensors. A linear detection window from 10 pM to 1 fM with an ultralow detection limit of 5.16 aM for miRNA-155 was achieved.

Abstract
Biosensors with two-dimensional materials have gained wide interest due to their high sensitivity. Among them, single-layer MoS2 has become a new class of biosensing platform owing to its semiconducting property. Immobilization of bioprobes directly onto the MoS2 surface with chemical bonding or random physisorption has been widely studied. However, these approaches potentially cause a reduction of conductivity and sensitivity of the biosensor. In this work, we designed peptides that spontaneously align into monomolecular-thick nanostructures on electrochemical MoS2 transistors in a non-covalent fashion and act as a biomolecular scaffold for efficient biosensing. These peptides consist of repeated domains of glycine and alanine in the sequence and form self-assembled structures with sixfold symmetry templated by the lattice of MoS2. We investigated electronic interactions of self-assembled peptides with MoS2 by designing their amino acid sequence with charged amino acids at both ends. Charged amino acids in the sequence showed a correlation with the electrical properties of single-layer MoS2, where negatively charged peptides caused a shift of threshold voltage in MoS2 transistors and neutral and positively charged peptides had no significant effect on the threshold voltage. The transconductance of transistors had no decrease due to the self-assembled peptides, indicating that aligned peptides can act as a biomolecular scaffold without degrading the intrinsic electronic properties for biosensing. We also investigated the impact of peptides on the photoluminescence (PL) of single-layer MoS2 and found that the PL intensity changed sensitively depending on the amino acid sequence of peptides. Finally, we demonstrated a femtomolar-level sensitivity of biosensing using biotinylated peptides to detect streptavidin.

Abstract
Rapid transmission and high mortality rates caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus showed that the best way to fight against the pandemic was through rapid, accurate diagnosis in parallel with vaccination. In this context, several research groups around the world have endeavored to develop new diagnostic methods due to the disadvantages of the gold standard method, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), in terms of cost and time consumption. Electrochemical and bioelectrochemical platforms have been important tools for overcoming the limitations of conventional diagnostic platforms, including accuracy, accessibility, portability, and response time. In this review, we report on several electrochemical sensors and biosensors developed for SARS-CoV-2 detection, presenting the concepts, fabrication, advantages, and disadvantages of the different approaches. The focus is devoted to highlighting the recent progress of electrochemical devices developed as next-generation field-deployable analytical tools as well as guiding future researchers in the manufacture of devices for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The development of biosensors based on field-effect transistors (FETs) using atomically thick carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a channel material has the potential to revolutionize the related field due to their small size, high sensitivity, label-free detection, and real-time monitoring capabilities. Despite extensive research efforts to improve the sensitivity, selectivity, and practicality of CNT FET-based biosensors, their commercialization has not yet been achieved due to the non-uniform and unstable device performance, difficulties in their fabrication, the immaturity of sensor packaging processes, and a lack of reliable modification methods. This review article focuses on the practical applications of CNT-based FET biosensors for the detection of ultra-low concentrations of biologically relevant molecules. We discuss the various factors that affect the sensors' performance in terms of materials, device architecture, and sensor packaging, highlighting the need for a robust commercial process that prioritizes product performance. Additionally, we review recent advances in the application of CNT FET biosensors for the ultra-sensitive detection of various biomarkers. Finally, we examine the key obstacles that currently hinder the large-scale deployment of these biosensors, aiming to identify the challenges that must be addressed for the future industrialization of CNT FET sensors.

Abstract
False detection of SARS-CoV-2 is detrimental to epidemic prevention and control. The scalar nature of the detected signal and the imperfect target recognition property of developed methods are the root causes of generating false signals. Here, we reported a collaborative system of CRISPR-Cas13a coupling with the stabilized graphene field-effect transistor, providing high-intensity vector signals for detecting SARS-CoV-2. In this collaborative system, SARS-CoV-2 RNA generates a "big subtraction" signal with a right-shifted feature, whereas any untargets cause the left-shifted characteristic signal. Thus, the false detection of SARS-CoV-2 is eliminated. High sensitivity with 0.15 copies/μL was obtained. In addition, the wide concerned instability of the graphene field-effect transistor for biosensing in solution environment was solved by the hydrophobic treatment to its substrate, which should be a milestone in advancing it's engineering application. This collaborative system characterized by the high-intensity vector signal and amazing stability significantly advances the accurate SARS-CoV-2 detection from the aspect of signal nature.

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic, with its numerous variants including Omicron which is 50-70% more transmissible than the previously dominant Delta variant, demands a fast, robust, cheap, and easily deployed identification strategy to reduce the chain of transmission, for which biosensors have been shown as a feasible solution at the laboratory scale. The use of nanomaterials has significantly enhanced the performance of biosensors, and the addition of CNTs has increased detection capabilities to an unrivaled level. Among the various CNT-based detection systems, CNT-based field-effect transistors possess ultra-sensitivity and low-noise detection capacity, allowing for immediate analyte determination even in the presence of limited analyte concentrations, which would be typical of early infection stages.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of nucleolin (NCL) is of great significance for the early diagnosis of cancer. In this work, as a new type of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), TaS2nanoflakes (NFs) were precisely constructed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on carbon fiber paper (CFP) with high specific surface area.In situobservation showed that the nucleation and growth of TaS2nanoflakes were precisely controlled by the number of ALD cycles, thereby regulating their electrochemical properties. The electrochemical performance of TaS2NFs was observed in depth, and compared with that of traditional 2D TMDCs. Due to the high surface area and conductivity, anodic/cathodic current of ∼1570μA of TaS2NFs/CFP can be obtained. Subsequently, an electrochemical biosensor based on ALD-constructed TaS2NFs/CFP for cancer-related NCL detection was fabricated. Due to the excellent electrochemical performance of TaS2NFs/CFP, ultrasensitive detection of NCL in the linear range of 0.1 pM-10 nM with a detection limit of 0.034 pM was achieved.

Abstract
The sensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is of great significance for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Herein, in order to fabricate an electrochemical biosensor for ultrasensitive cTnI detection, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was employed to directly deposit NbS2 nanoflakes (NFs) on carbon fiber paper (CFP). Due to the self-limiting reaction of ALD, NbS2NFs were deposited uniformly and accurately on the surface of carbon fibers by controlling the number of ALD cycles, which ensured ultrasensitive detection. Precise regulation of the nanoscale morphology and electrochemical performance of NbS2 nanoflakes via ALD cycles was observed in depth. Owing to the high surface area and conductivity, an anodic/cathodic current of ∼3.01 mA of NbS2NFs/CFP can be obtained. Subsequently, an electrochemical biosensor based on the excellent performance of NbS2NFs/CFP was fabricated. The ultrasensitive detection of cTnI in a linear range of 1 fM to 0.1 nM with a detection limit of 0.32 fM was achieved.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials-based field-effect transistors (FETs) are promising biosensors because of their outstanding electrical properties, tunable band gap, high specific surface area, label-free detection, and potential miniaturization for portable diagnostic products. However, it is crucial for FET biosensors to have a high electrical performance and stability degradation in liquid environments for their practical application. Here, a high-performance InSe-FET biosensor is developed and demonstrated for the detection of the CA125 biomarker in clinical samples. The InSe-FET is integrated with a homemade microfluidic channel, exhibiting good electrical stability during the liquid channel process because of the passivation effect on the InSe channel. The InSe-FET biosensor is capable of the quantitative detection of the CA125 biomarker in breast cancer in the range of 0.01-1000 U/mL, with a detection time of 20 min. This work provides a universal detection tool for protein biomarker sensing. The detection results of the clinical samples demonstrate its promising application in early screenings of major diseases.

Abstract
There has been an exponential surge in reports on two-dimensional (2D) materials ever since the discovery of graphene in 2004. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of 2D materials where weak van der Waals force binds individual covalently bonded X-M-X layers (where M is the transition metal and X is the chalcogen), making layer-controlled synthesis possible. These individual building blocks (single-layer TMDs) transition from indirect to direct band gaps and have fascinating optical and electronic properties. Layer-dependent opto-electrical properties, along with the existence of finite band gaps, make single-layer TMDs superior to the well-known graphene that paves the way for their applications in many areas. Ultra-fast response, high on/off ratio, planar structure, low operational voltage, wafer scale synthesis capabilities, high surface-to-volume ratio, and compatibility with standard fabrication processes makes TMDs ideal candidates to replace conventional semiconductors, such as silicon, etc., in the new-age electrical, electronic, and opto-electronic devices. Besides, TMDs can be potentially utilized in single molecular sensing for early detection of different biomarkers, gas sensors, photodetector, and catalytic applications. The impact of COVID-19 has given rise to an upsurge in demand for biosensors with real-time detection capabilities. TMDs as active or supporting biosensing elements exhibit potential for real-time detection of single biomarkers and, hence, show promise in the development of point-of-care healthcare devices. In this review, we provide a historical survey of 2D TMD-based biosensors for the detection of bio analytes ranging from bacteria, viruses, and whole cells to molecular biomarkers via optical, electronic, and electrochemical sensing mechanisms. Current approaches and the latest developments in the study of healthcare devices using 2D TMDs are discussed. Additionally, this review presents an overview of the challenges in the area and discusses the future perspective of 2D TMDs in the field of biosensing for healthcare devices.

Abstract
Highly efficient growth of a centimeter-scale MoS2 monolayer film by oxide scale sublimation chemical vapor deposition (OSSCVD) in a time as short as 60 s is reported. Benefiting from the superior catalytic ability of Dragontrail glass (DT-glass) substrate and the controlled large vapor supersaturation of the molybdenum source, the ultrafast deposition of MoS2 is realized with maintaining large-sized single-crystalline domains over 20 µm at maximum in the film. It is comparable to those reported for MoS2 grown in tens of minutes and even hours. Similar to the face-to-face precursor feed route, the gas-controlled OSSCVD with a showerhead configuration facilitates a homogeneous and controllable source supply. It enables high-quality monolayer MoS2 film deposition on 2 × 2 cm2 DT-glass with centimeter-scale uniformity confirmed by microscopic, spectroscopic, and electrical characterizations. Back-gate MoS2 field-effect transistors fabricated on polycrystalline continuous film exhibit the maximum field-effect mobility of 5.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a peak Ion /Ioff ratio of 5 × 108 . They reach 40 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 1.2 × 109 , respectively, on single-crystalline domains. These results are even greater than those for MoS2 grown using 1-2 orders of magnitude longer deposition time and higher temperatures. This study highlights the opportunities for low-cost high-throughput production of large-area high-quality monolayer MoS2 .

Abstract
Urinalysis is attractive in non-invasive early diagnosis of bladder cancer compared with clinical gold standard cystoscopy. However, the trace bladder tumor biomarkers in urine and the particularly complex urine environment pose significant challenges for urinalysis. Here, a clinically adoptable urinalysis device that integrates molecular-specificity indium gallium zinc oxide field-effect transistor (IGZO FET) biosensor arrays, a device control panel, and an internet terminal for directly analyzing five bladder-tumor-associated proteins in clinical urine samples, is reported for bladder cancer diagnosis and classification. The IGZO FET biosensors with engineered sensing interfaces provide high sensitivity and selectivity for identification of trace proteins in the complex urine environment. Integrating with a machine-learning algorithm, this device can identify bladder cancer with an accuracy of 95.0% in a cohort of 197 patients and 75 non-bladder cancer individuals, distinguishing cancer stages with an overall accuracy of 90.0% and assessing bladder cancer recurrence after surgical treatment. The non-invasive urinalysis device defines a robust technology for remote healthcare and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Nanotechnology, the art of engineering structures on a molecular level, offers the opportunity to implement new strategies for the diagnosis and management of pregnancy-related disorders. This review aims to summarize the current state of nanotechnology in obstetrics and cancer in pregnancy, focusing on existing and potential applications, and provides insights on safety and future directions. A systematic and comprehensive literature assessment was performed, querying the following databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Endbase. The databases were searched from their inception to 22 March 2022. Five independent reviewers screened the items and extracted those which were more pertinent within the scope of this review. Although nanotechnology has been on the bench for many years, most of the studies in obstetrics are preclinical. Ongoing research spans from the development of diagnostic tools, including optimized strategies to selectively confine contrast agents in the maternal bloodstream and approaches to improve diagnostics tests to be used in obstetrics, to the synthesis of innovative delivery nanosystems for therapeutic interventions. Using nanotechnology to achieve spatial and temporal control over the delivery of therapeutic agents (e.g., commonly used drugs, more recently defined formulations, or gene therapy-based approaches) offers significant advantages, including the possibility to target specific cells/tissues of interest (e.g., the maternal bloodstream, uterus wall, or fetal compartment). This characteristic of nanotechnology-driven therapy reduces side effects and the amount of therapeutic agent used. However, nanotoxicology appears to be a significant obstacle to adopting these technologies in clinical therapeutic praxis. Further research is needed in order to improve these techniques, as they have tremendous potential to improve the accuracy of the tests applied in clinical praxis. This review showed the increasing interest in nanotechnology applications in obstetrics disorders and pregnancy-related pathologies to improve the diagnostic algorithms, monitor pregnancy-related diseases, and implement new treatment strategies.

Abstract
Graphdiyne's (GDY's) outstanding features have made it a novel 2D nanomaterial and a great candidate for electronic gadgets and optoelectronic devices, and it has opened new opportunities for the development of highly sensitive electronic and optical detection methods as well. Here, we testified a non-covalent grafting strategy in which GDY serves as a charge carrier layer and a bioaffinity substrate to immobilize biological receptors on GDY-based field-effect transistor (FET) devices. Firm non-covalent anchoring of biological molecules via pyrene groups and electrostatic interactions in addition to preserved electrical properties of GDY endows it with features of an ultrasensitive and stable detection mechanism. With emerging new forms and extending the subtypes of the already existing fatal diseases, genetic and biological knowledge demands more details. In this regard, we constructed simple yet efficient platforms using GDY-based FET devices in order to detect different kinds of biological molecules that threaten human health. The resulted data showed that the proposed non-covalent bioaffinity assays in GDY-based FET devices could be considered reliable strategies for novel label-free biosensing platforms, which still reach a high on/off ratio of over 104. The limits of detection of the FET devices to detect DNA strands, the CA19-9 antigen, microRNA-155, the CA15-3 antigen, and the COVID-19 antigen were 0.2 aM, 0.04 pU mL-1, 0.11 aM, 0.043 pU mL-1, and 0.003 fg mL-1, respectively, in the linear ranges of 1 aM to 1 pM, 1 pU mL-1 to 0.1 μU mL-1, 1 aM to 1 pM, 1 pU mL-1 to 10 μU mL-1, and 1 fg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1, respectively. Finally, the extraordinary performance of these label-free FET biosensors with low detection limits, high sensitivity and selectivity, capable of being miniaturized, and implantability for in vivo analysis makes them a great candidate in disease diagnostics and point-of-care testing.

Abstract
To enable detection and discovery of biomarkers, development of label-free, ultrasensitive, and specific sensors is the need of the hour. For addressing this requirement, here, a Schottky-contacted ZnO nanorod biosensor has been demonstrated, which explores the interplay between Schottky junction capacitance and solution resistance, resulting in an interesting sensing principle of competitive impedance spectroscopy. When the transition of dominating impedance occurs from solution resistance to junction capacitance, a notch or a peak appears in the impedance response at a particular frequency (referred to as the corner frequency) depending on the charge of the target molecule. The appearance of the peak or notch acts like an electronic label for selectivity since it is visible only for target molecules even at ultralow concentrations in the physiological analyte, where the magnitude of impedance change overlaps with that for nonspecific molecules. This phenomenon has been successfully applied for the positively charged vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the negatively charged hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), where the shifts in the higher corner frequencies for 1 aM concentration of the target molecules have been observed to be more than 3 times the changes in the impedance magnitude. Further, the area of the ZnO nanorods was segmented into two zones corresponding to the lower and higher concentration regimes, thereby expanding the dynamic range. To summarize, an ultralow detection limit of 1 aM with a dynamic range up to 1 pM was achieved for VEGF and HBsAg, which is 4 orders of magnitude and 20 times lower than their most sensitive label-free reports, respectively.

Abstract
Today COVID-19 pandemic articulates high stress on clinical resources around the world. At present, physical and viral tests are slowly emerging, and there is a need for robust pandemic detection that biomedical sensors can aid. The utility of biomedical sensors is correlated with the medical instruments with physiological metrics. These Biomedical sensors are integrated with the systematic device to track the target analytes with a biomedical component. The COVID-19 patients' samples are collected, and biomarkers are detected using four sensors: blood pressure sensor, G-FET based biosensor, electrochemical sensor, and potentiometric sensor with different quantifiable measures. The imputed data is then profiled with chest X-ray images from the Covid-19 patients.Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), an AI model, is deployed to identify the hidden signatures with biomarkers. The performance of the biosensor is measured with three parameters such as sensitivity, specificity and detection limit by generating the calibration plots that accurately fits the model.

Abstract
The evolutionary success in information technology has been sustained by the rapid growth of sensor technology. Recently, advances in sensor technology have promoted the ambitious requirement to build intelligent systems that can be controlled by external stimuli along with independent operation, adaptivity, and low energy expenditure. Among various sensing techniques, field-effect transistors (FETs) with channels made of two-dimensional (2D) materials attract increasing attention for advantages such as label-free detection, fast response, easy operation, and capability of integration. With atomic thickness, 2D materials restrict the carrier flow within the material surface and expose it directly to the external environment, leading to efficient signal acquisition and conversion. This review summarizes the latest advances of 2D-materials-based FET (2D FET) sensors in a comprehensive manner that contains the material, operating principles, fabrication technologies, proof-of-concept applications, and prototypes. First, a brief description of the background and fundamentals is provided. The subsequent contents summarize physical, chemical, and biological 2D FET sensors and their applications. Then, we highlight the challenges of their commercialization and discuss corresponding solution techniques. The following section presents a systematic survey of recent progress in developing commercial prototypes. Lastly, we summarize the long-standing efforts and prospective future development of 2D FET-based sensing systems toward commercialization.

Abstract
Graphene- and carbon-based nanomaterials are key materials to develop advanced biosensors for the sensitive detection of many biomarkers owing to their unique properties. Biosensors have attracted increasing interest because they allow efficacious, sensitive, selective, rapid, and low-cost diagnosis. Biosensors are analytical devices based on receptors for the process of detection and transducers for response measuring. Biosensors can be based on electrochemical, piezoelectric, thermal, and optical transduction mechanisms. Early virus identification provides critical information about potentially effective and selective therapies, extends the therapeutic window, and thereby reduces morbidity. The sensitivity and selectivity of graphene can be amended via functionalizing it or conjoining it with further materials. Amendment of the optical and electrical features of the hybrid structure by introducing appropriate functional groups or counterparts is especially appealing for quick and easy-to-use virus detection. Various techniques for the electrochemical detection of viruses depending on antigen-antibody interactions or DNA hybridization are discussed in this work, and the reasons behind using graphene and related carbon nanomaterials for the fabrication are presented and discussed. We review the existing state-of-the-art directions of graphene-based classifications for detecting DNA, protein, and hormone biomarkers and summarize the use of the different biosensors to detect several diseases, like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, to sense numerous viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, human immunodeficiency virus, rotavirus, Zika virus, and hepatitis B virus, and to detect the recent pandemic virus COVID-19. The general concepts, mechanisms of action, benefits, and disadvantages of advanced virus biosensors are discussed to afford beneficial evidence of the creation and manufacture of innovative virus biosensors. We emphasize that graphene-based nanomaterials are ideal candidates for electrochemical biosensor engineering due to their special and tunable physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), as an important tool for interface research, occupies a place in the field of molecular detection and analysis due to its extremely high detection sensitivity and fingerprint characteristics. Substantial efforts have been put into the improvement of the enhancement factor (EF) by way of modifying SERS substrates. Recently, MoS2 has emerged as one of the most promising substrates for SERS, which is also exploited as a complementary platform on the conventional metal SERS substrates to optimize the properties. In this minireview, the fundamentals of MoS2-related SERS are first explicated. Then, the synthesis, advances and applications of MoS2-based substrates are illustrated with special emphasis on their practical applications in food safety, biomedical sensing and environmental monitoring, together with the corresponding challenges. This review is expected to arouse broad interest in nonplasmonic MoS2-related materials along with their mechanisms, and to promote the development of SERS studies.

Abstract
The progression of cardiovascular diseases is accompanied by myocardial injury and necrosis, heart failure, and inflammatory response. Accordingly, ultrasensitive and rapid detection of multiple biomarkers plays a vital role in clinical diagnosis and timely treatment. Here, we developed a novel Lys-AuNPs@MoS2 nanocomposite self-assembled microfluidic immunoassay biochip with digital signal output and applied it to the simultaneous detection of multiple serum biomarkers including inflammatory factors and cardiovascular biomarkers, PCT, CRP, IL6, cTnI, cTnT, and NT-BNP, with high throughput and sensitivity. The digital output signal was collected in the solid phase on the chip surface with two-dimensional distribution of targets. Lys-AuNPs@MoS2 nanocomposites self-assembled biochips could simultaneously detect all six biomarkers in 60 samples in 40 min with detection limit of a few to tens of pg/mL for all serum biomarkers. The microfluidic biochip based on Lys-AuNPs@MoS2 nanocomposites provides a promising method in applications for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Immunotherapy using CAR-T cells is a new technological paradigm for cancer treatment. To avoid severe side effects and tumor escape variants observed for conventional CAR-T cells approach, adaptor CAR technologies are under development, where intermediate target modules redirect immune cells against cancer. In this work, silicon nanowire field-effect transistors are used to develop target modules for an optimized CAR-T cell operation. Focusing on a library of seven variants of E5B9 peptide that is used as CAR targeting epitope, we performed multiplexed binding tests using nanosensor chips. These peptides had been immobilized onto the sensor to compare the transistor signals upon titration with anti-La 5B9 antibodies. The correlation of binding affinities and sensor sensitivities enabled a selection of candidates for the interaction between CAR and target modules. An extremely low detection limit was observed for the sensor, down to femtomolar concentration, outperforming the current assay of the same purpose. Finally, the CAR T-cells redirection capability of selected peptides in target modules was proven successful in an in-vitro cytotoxicity assay. Our results open the perspective for the nanosensors to go beyond the early diagnostics in clinical cancer research towards developing and monitoring immunotherapeutic treatment, where the quantitative analysis with the standard techniques is limited.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging human infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2, initially called novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV) virus. Thus, an accurate and specific diagnosis of COVID-19 is urgently needed for effective point-of-care detection and disease management. The reported promise of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides (Ti3C2Tx MXene) for biosensing owing to a very high surface area, high electrical conductivity, and hydrophilicity informed their selection for inclusion in functional electrodes for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Here, we demonstrate a new and facile functionalization strategy for Ti3C2Tx with probe DNA molecules through noncovalent adsorption, which eliminates expensive labeling steps and achieves sequence-specific recognition. The 2D Ti3C2Tx functionalized with complementary DNA probes shows a sensitive and selective detection of nucleocapsid (N) gene from SARS-CoV-2 through nucleic acid hybridization and chemoresistive transduction. The fabricated sensors are able to detect the SARS-CoV-2 N gene with sensitive and rapid response, a detection limit below 105 copies/mL in saliva, and high specificity when tested against SARS-CoV-1 and MERS. We hypothesize that the MXenes' interlayer spacing can serve as molecular sieving channels for hosting organic molecules and ions, which is a key advantage to their use in biomolecular sensing.

Abstract
The ubiquitous field-effect transistor (FET) is widely used in modern digital integrated circuits, computers, communications, sensors, and other applications. However, reliable biological FET (bio-FET) is not available in real life due to the rigorous requirement for highly sensitive and selective bio-FET fabrication, which remains a challenging task. Here, we report an ultrasensitive and selective bio-FET created by the nanorings of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanopores inspired by nuclear pore complexes. We characterize the nanoring of MoS2 nanopores by scanning transmission electron microscopy, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra. After fabricating MoS2 nanopore rings-based bio-FET, we confirm edge-selective functionalization by the gold nanoparticle tethering test and the change of electrical signal of the bio-FET. Ultrahigh sensitivity of the MoS2 nanopore edge rings-based bio-FET (limit of detection of 1 ag/mL) and high selectivity are accomplished by effective coupling of the aptamers on the nanorings of the MoS2 nanopore edge for cortisol detection. We believe that MoS2 nanopore edge rings-based bio-FET would provide platforms for everyday biosensors with ultrahigh sensitivity and selectivity.
