Abstract
Wearable diabetic healthcare devices have attracted great attention for real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using biofluids such as tears, sweat, saliva, and interstitial fluid via noninvasive ways. In response to the escalating global demand for CGM, these devices enable proactive management and intervention of diabetic patients with incorporated drug delivery systems (DDSs). In this context, multifunctional nanomaterials can trigger the development of innovative sensing and management platforms to facilitate real-time selective glucose monitoring with remarkable sensitivity, on-demand drug delivery, and wireless power and data transmission. The seamless integration into wearable devices ensures patient's compliance. This comprehensive review evaluates the multifaceted roles of these materials in wearable diabetic healthcare devices, comparing their glucose sensing capabilities with conventionally available glucometers and CGM devices, and finally outlines the merits, limitations, and prospects of these devices. This review would serve as a valuable resource, elucidating the intricate functions of nanomaterials for the successful development of advanced wearable devices in diabetes management.

[PMID: 38984255 PMCID: PMC11232413 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03559c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Among the 3d-transition metal hydroxide series, nickel hydroxide is a well-studied electroactive catalyst. In particular, nickel hydroxide and its composite materials are well-suited for non-enzymatic glucose sensing. The electrocatalytic efficiency of nickel hydroxide is attributed to the thickness or to be precise, the thinness of the electroactive layer. Herein, we have successfully prepared metallic nickel@nickel hydroxide nanosheets through a straightforward one-pot solvothermal method. We were able to electrochemically generate a highly sensitive α-Ni(OH)2 on the nanosheets. The dynamic generation and synergy between α- and β-Ni(OH)2, imparts a glucose oxidase enzyme-like ability to the catalyst. Our proposed nickel nanozyme exhibits a good sensitivity of 683 μA mM-1 cm-2 for glucose. The sensor operates in the range of 0.001-3.1 mM, with a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 9.1 μM and exhibits a response time of ≈00.1 s. Nickel-nanozyme demonstrated better selectivity for glucose in the presence of interfering compounds. Notably, the sensor does not suffer from an interfering oxygen evolution reaction. This greatly improves sensitivity in glucose detection in lower concentrations making the sensor viable to measure salivary glucose levels. In this study, we demonstrate that our sensor can detect glucose in human saliva. The real sample analysis was carried out with saliva samples from three healthy human volunteers and one prediabetic volunteer. Our proposed sensor measurements show excellent agreement with calculated salivary glucose levels with 98% accuracy in sensing glucose in real saliva samples.

Abstract
Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of metal-organic colloid material with a large specific surface area, loose porous structure, and open metal active sites. In this work, FeNi-MOGs were synthesized by the simple one-step static method, using Fe(III) and Ni(II) as the central metal ions and terephthalic acid as the organic ligand. The prepared FeNi-MOGs could effectively catalyze the chemiluminescence of luminol without the involvement of H2O2, which exhibited good catalytic activity. Then, the multifunctional detected platform was constructed for the detection of GSH and Hg2+, based on the antioxidant capacity of GSH, and the strong affinity between mercury ion (Hg2+) and GSH which inactivated the antioxidant capacity of GSH. The experimental limits of detection (LOD) for GSH and Hg2+ were 76 nM and 210 nM, and the detection ranges were 2-100 μM and 8-4000 μM, respectively. The as-proposed sensor had good performance in both detection limit and detection range of GSH and Hg2+, which fully met the needs of daily life. Surprisingly, the sensor had low detection limits and an extremely wide detection range for Hg2+, spanning five orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the detection of mercury ions in actual lake water and GSH in human serum showed good results, with recovery rates ranging from 90.10 % to 105.37 %, which proved that the method was accurate and reliable. The as-proposed sensor had great potential as the platform for GSH and Hg2+ detection applications.

Abstract
This review discusses the most current developments and future perspectives in enzymatic and non-enzymatic glucose sensors, which have notably evolved over the preceding quadrennial period. Furthermore, a thorough exploration encompassed the sensor's intricate fabrication processes, the diverse range of materials employed, the underlying principles of detection, and an in-depth assessment of the sensors' efficacy in detecting glucose levels within essential bodily fluids such as human blood serums, urine, saliva, and interstitial fluids. It is worth noting that the accurate quantification of glucose concentrations within human blood has been effectively achieved by utilizing classical enzymatic sensors harmoniously integrated with optical and electrochemical transduction mechanisms. Monitoring glucose levels in various mediums has attracted exceptional attention from industrial to academic researchers for diabetes management, food quality control, clinical medicine, and bioprocess inspection. There has been an enormous demand for the creation of novel glucose sensors over the past ten years. Research has primarily concentrated on succeeding biocompatible and enhanced sensing abilities related to the present technologies, offering innovative avenues for more effective glucose sensors. Recent developments in wearable optical and electrochemical sensors with low cost, high stability, point-of-care testing, and online tracking of glucose concentration levels in biological fluids can aid in managing and controlling diabetes globally. New nanomaterials and biomolecules that can be used in electrochemical sensor systems to identify glucose concentration levels are developed thanks to advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Both enzymatic and non-enzymatic glucose electrochemical sensors have garnered much interest recently and have made significant strides in detecting glucose levels. In this review, we summarise several categories of non-enzymatic glucose sensor materials, including composites, non-precious transition metals and their metal oxides, hydroxides, precious metals and their alloys, carbon-based materials, conducting polymers, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based electrocatalysts, and wearable device-based glucose sensors deeply.

Abstract
Nowadays, the prevalence of metabolic syndromes (MSs) has attracted increasing concerns as it is closely related to overweight and obesity, physical inactivity and overconsumption of energy, making the diagnosis and real-time monitoring of the physiological range essential and necessary for avoiding illness due to defects in the human body such as higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and diseases related to artery walls. However, the current sensing techniques are inconvenient and do not continuously monitor the health status of humans. Alternatively, the use of recent wearable device technology is a preferable method for the prevention of these diseases. This can enable the monitoring of the health status of humans in different health domains, including environment and structure. The use wearable devices with the purpose of facilitating rapid treatment and real-time monitoring can decrease the prevalence of MS and long-time monitor the health status of patients. This review highlights the recent advances in wearable sensors toward continuous monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose, and further details the monitoring of abnormal obesity, triglycerides and HDL. We also discuss the challenges and future prospective of monitoring MS in humans.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) has attracted a lot of attention in the field of diabetes diagnosis and treatment in recent years owing to its inherent biocompatibility and glucose-specific catalysis. GOx can effectively catalyze the oxidation of glucose in the blood to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucuronic acid and can be used as a sensitive element in biosensors to detect blood glucose concentrations. Nanomaterials based on the immobilization of GOx can significantly improve the performance of glucose sensors through, for example, reduced electron tunneling distance. Moreover, various insulin-loaded nanomaterials (e.g., metal-organic backbones, and mesoporous silica nanoparticles) have been developed for the control of blood glucose concentrations based on GOx catalytic chemistry. These nano-delivery carriers are capable of releasing insulin in response to GOx-mediated changes in the microenvironment, allowing for a rapid return of the blood microenvironment to a normal state. Therefore, glucose biosensors and insulin delivery vehicles immobilized with GOx are important tools for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. This paper reviews the characteristics of various GOx-based nanomaterials developed for glucose biosensing and insulin-responsive release as well as research progress, and also highlights the current challenges and opportunities facing this field.

Abstract
Sweat is an increasingly popular biological medium for fitness monitoring and clinical diagnostics. It contains an abundance of biological information and is available continuously and noninvasively. Sweat-sensing devices often employ proteins in various capacities to create skin-friendly matrices that accurately extract valuable and time-sensitive information from sweat. Proteins were first used in sensors as biorecognition elements in the form of enzymes and antibodies, which are now being tuned to operate at ranges relevant for sweat. In addition, a range of structural proteins, sometimes assembled in conjunction with polymers, can provide flexible and compatible matrices for skin sensors. Other proteins also naturally possess a range of functionalities─as adhesives, charge conductors, fluorescence emitters, and power generators─that can make them useful components in wearable devices. Here, we examine the four main components of wearable sweat sensors─the biorecognition element, the transducer, the scaffold, and the adhesive─and the roles that proteins have played so far, or promise to play in the future, in each component. On a case-by-case basis, we analyze the performance characteristics of existing protein-based devices, their applicable ranges of detection, their transduction mechanism and their mechanical properties. Thereby, we review and compare proteins that can readily be used in sweat sensors and others that will require further efforts to overcome design, stability or scalability challenges. Incorporating proteins in one or multiple components of sweat sensors could lead to the development and deployment of tunable, greener, and safer biosourced devices.

Abstract
Artificial peroxisomes (APEXs) or peroxisome mimics have caught a lot of attention in nanomedicine and biomaterial science in the last decade, which have great potential in clinically diagnosing and treating diseases. APEXs are typically constructed from a semipermeable membrane that encloses natural enzymes or enzyme-mimetic catalysts to perform peroxisome-/enzyme-mimetic activities. The recent rapid progress regarding their biocatalytic stability, adjustable activity, and surface functionality has significantly promoted APEXs systems in real-life applications. In addition, developing a facile and versatile system that can simulate multiple biocatalytic tasks is advantageous. Here, the recent advances in engineering cell membrane-cloaked catalysts as multifaceted APEXs for diverse biomedical applications are highlighted and commented. First, various catalysts with single or multiple enzyme activities have been introduced as cores of APEXs. Subsequently, the extraction and function of cell membranes that are used as the shell are summarized. After that, the applications of these APEXs are discussed in detail, such as cancer therapy, antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and neuron protection. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges of APEXs are proposed and outlined. This progress review is anticipated to provide new and unique insights into cell membrane-cloaked catalysts and to offer significant new inspiration for designing future artificial organelles.

Abstract
The study presents a novel electrochemical glucose biosensor based on glucose oxidase (GOx) immobilized on Au@Pd core-shell nanoparticles supported on carboxylated graphene oxide (cGO). The immobilization of GOx was achieved by cross-linking the chitosan biopolymer (CS) including Au@Pd/cGO and glutaraldehyde (GA) on a glassy carbon electrode. The analytical performance of GCE/Au@Pd/cGO-CS/GA/GOx was investigated using amperometry. The biosensor had fast response time (5.2 ± 0.9 s), a satisfactory linear determination range between 2.0 × 10-5 and 4.2 × 10-3 M, and limit of detection of 10.4 μM. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Kapp) was calculated as 3.04 mM. The fabricated biosensor also exhibited good repeatability, reproducibility, and storage stability. No interfering signals from dopamine, uric acid, ascorbic acid, paracetamol, folic acid, mannose, sucrose, and fructose were observed. The large electroactive surface area of carboxylated graphene oxide is a promising candidate for sensor preparation.

Abstract
Diabetic wound patients are often exposed to bacterial infections with delayed healing process due to hyperglycemia in the damaged skin tissue. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been investigated for the treatment of infection-induced diabetic wounds, but their low stability and toxicity have limited their further applications to diabetic chronic wound healing. Here, we developed a precisely controlled AMP-releasing injectable hydrogel platform, which could respond to infection-related materials of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The injectable supramolecular hydrogel was prepared by the simple mixing of hyaluronic acid modified with cyclodextrin (HA-CD) and adamantane (Ad-HA). Ad-HA was conjugated with AMP via the cyclic peptide linker composed of MMP and ROS cleavable sequence (Ad-HA-AMP). Remarkably, only when the AMP-tethered hydrogel was exposed to both MMP and ROS simultaneously, AMP was released from the hydrogel, enabling the controlled release of AMP without causing cytotoxicity. In addition, we confirmed the enhanced serum stability of the Ad-HA-AMP conjugate. The antimicrobial activity of Ad-HA-AMP was maintained much longer than that of the native AMP. Finally, we could demonstrate the greatly improved wound-healing effect of AMP-tethered hydrogels with enhanced safety for the treatment of infection-induced diabetic chronic wounds. Taken together, we successfully demonstrated the feasibility of sHG-AMP for diabetic chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Sweat contains a broad range of important biomarkers, which may be beneficial for acquiring non-invasive biochemical information on human health status. Therefore, highly selective and sensitive electrochemical nanosensors for the non-invasive detection of sweat metabolites have turned into a flourishing contender in the frontier of disease diagnosis. A large surface area, excellent electrocatalytic behavior and conductive properties make nanomaterials promising sensor materials for target-specific detection. Carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g., CNT, carbon quantum dots, and graphene), noble metals (e.g., Au and Pt), and metal oxide nanomaterials (e.g., ZnO, MnO2, and NiO) are widely used for modifying the working electrodes of electrochemical sensors, which may then be further functionalized with requisite enzymes for targeted detection. In the present review, recent developments (2018-2022) of electrochemical nanosensors by both enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic sensors for the effectual detection of sweat metabolites (e.g., glucose, ascorbic acid, lactate, urea/uric acid, ethanol and drug metabolites) have been comprehensively reviewed. Along with this, electrochemical sensing principles, including potentiometry, amperometry, CV, DPV, SWV and EIS have been briefly presented in the present review for a conceptual understanding of the sensing mechanisms. The detection thresholds (in the range of mM-nM), sensitivities, linear dynamic ranges and sensing modalities have also been properly addressed for a systematic understanding of the judicious design of more effective sensors. One step ahead, in the present review, current trends of flexible wearable electrochemical sensors in the form of eyeglasses, tattoos, gloves, patches, headbands, wrist bands, etc., have also been briefly summarized, which are beneficial for on-body in situ measurement of the targeted sweat metabolites. On-body monitoring of sweat metabolites via wireless data transmission has also been addressed. Finally, the gaps in the ongoing research endeavors, unmet challenges, outlooks and future prospects have also been discussed for the development of advanced non-invasive self-health-care-monitoring devices in the near future.

Abstract
The development of responsive materials in a predictable manner is high on the list of the material industry's trends. In this work, responsive Ag@NiCo2O4 nanowires were, firstly, anchored on N-doped carbon cloth (NC) and, then, employed as array electrodes for a nonenzymatic glucose-sensing application. The results showed that the highly conductive NiCo2O4 nanowires supported Ag nanoparticles and exhibited high conductivity and electrocatalytic properties. The fully exposed crystalline planes of Ag nanoparticles provided more active surface sites. As a result, the assembled Ag@NiCo2O4-NC electrodes for the glucose-sensing evaluation delivered a selectivity of 2803 μA mM-1 cm-2 and a detection limit of 1.065 μM, which outperformed the literature-reported Ag- and NiCo2O4-based glucose-sensing catalysts.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) can catalyze the oxidation of β-D-glucose under mild conditions to directly convert biological energy into electrical energy, which has great potential for applications in the fields of enzyme biofuel cells and glucose biosensors. In enzymatic biofuel cells, GOx is often used as an anodic catalyst to improve the performance. The important role of two intimate histidine residues, His505 and His548 (PDB code 4YNU), in the GOx active center has been highlighted in the catalytic oxidation of β-D-glucose, but there is still a lack of systematic examination on the influence of different protonated states of His505 and His548 on the catalytic oxidation of β-D-glucose in GOx. Therefore, in the present work, the GOx active center under the possible protonated states of His548 and His505 is systematically examined by using ONIOM calculations, as well as the influence of remote Arg210 is considered. The calculations reveal that the intimate His505 and His548 can modulate the interaction of the β-D-glucose substrate with isoalloxazine and then control the deprotonization of the hydroxyl group bound to the anomeric carbon of β-D-glucose like controllers. The remote Arg210 provides the driving force for the transfer of two electrons from β-D-glucose to isoalloxazine of FAD via the long-range electrostatic attraction like a horse. Specially, the protonated His505 can serve as a good helper of Arg210 to promote the occurring of the two-proton-coupled two-electron transfer from β-D-glucose to isoalloxazine and His548 in the active center of GOx. These findings provide much insight into the catalytic reactions of GOx in a low pH environment, which may be beneficial to expand the applications of GOx.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of water environments can cause various troubles in various areas. As one of potential solutions, we develop enzyme-immobilized elastomer, and demonstrate the uses of enzyme reactions on-demand for effective microbial decontamination and antifouling. Asymmetrically-structured elastomer is prepared by combining two polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers with different degrees of crosslinking: highly-crosslinked and lightly-crosslinked PDMS layers. At the surface of highly-crosslinked PDMS layer, porous structure with average diameter of 842 nm is formed by dissolving pre-packed and entrapped latex beads. Lightly-crosslinked PDMS on the other side, due to its adhesive nature, enables iterative attachments on various materials under either dry or wet condition. Glucose oxidase (GOx) is immobilized by using the pores at the surface of highly-crosslinked PDMS matrix via a ship-in-a-bottle protocol of precipitation-based microscale enzyme reactor (p-MER), which consists of GOx adsorption, precipitation and chemical crosslinking (EAPC). As a result, crosslinked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of GOx not only are well entrapped within many pores of highly-crosslinked PDMS layer (ship-in-bottle) but also cover the external surface of matrix, both of which are well connected together. Highly-interconnected network of CLEAs themselves effectively prevents enzyme leaching, which shows the 25% residual activity of GOx under shaking at 200 rpm for 156 days after 48% initial drop of loosely-bound p-MER after 4 days. In presence of glucose, the underwater attachment of biocatalytic elastomer demonstrates the generation of hydrogen peroxide via p-MER-catalyzed glucose oxidation, exhibiting effective biocidal activities against both gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli. Adhesion-induced GOx-catalyzed reaction also alleviates the biofouling of membrane, suggesting its extendibility to various engineering systems being suffered by biofouling. This study of biocatalytic elastomer has demonstrated its new opportunities for the facile and on-demand enzyme-catalyzed reactions in various environmental applications, such as bactericidal treatment, water treatment/purification, and pollutant degradation.

Abstract
Enzymes are proteins that control the efficiency and effectiveness of biological reactions and systems, as well as of engineered biomimetic processes. This review highlights current applications of a diverse range of enzymes for biofuel production, plastics, and chemical waste management, as well as for detergent, textile, and food production and preservation industries respectively. Challenges regarding the transposition of enzymes from their natural purpose and environment into synthetic practice are discussed. For example, temperature and pH-induced enzyme fragilities, short shelf life, low-cost efficiency, poor user-controllability, and subsequently insufficient catalytic activity were shown to decrease pertinence and profitability in large-scale production considerations. Enzyme immobilization was shown to improve and expand upon enzyme usage within a profit and impact-oriented commercial world and through enzyme-material and interfaces integration. With particular focus on the growing biomedical market, examples of enzyme immobilization within or onto hyaluronic acid (HA)-based complexes are discussed as a definable way to improve upon and/or make possible the next generation of medical undertakings. As a polysaccharide formed in every living organism, HA has proven beneficial in biomedicine for its high biocompatibility and controllable biodegradability, viscoelasticity, and hydrophilicity. Complexes developed with this molecule have been utilized to selectively deliver drugs to a desired location and at a desired rate, improve the efficiency of tissue regeneration, and serve as a viable platform for biologically accepted sensors. In similar realms of enzyme immobilization, HA’s ease in crosslinking allows the molecule to user-controllably enhance the design of a given platform in terms of both chemical and physical characteristics to thus best support successful and sustained enzyme usage. Such examples do not only demonstrate the potential of enzyme-based applications but further, emphasize future market trends and accountability.

Abstract
Diabetes is a foremost health issue that results in ~4 million deaths every year and ~170 million people suffering globally. Though there is no treatment for diabetes yet, the blood glucose level of diabetic patients should be checked closely to avoid further problems. Screening glucose in blood has become a vital requirement, and thus the fabrication of advanced and sensitive blood sugar detection methodologies for clinical analysis and individual care. Bimetallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) are nanosized structures that are of rising interest in many clinical applications. Although their fabrication shares characteristics with physicochemical methodologies for the synthesis of corresponding mono-metallic counterparts, they can display several interesting new properties and applications as a significance of the synergetic effect between their two components. These applications can be as diverse as clinical diagnostics, anti-bacterial/anti-cancer treatments or biological imaging analyses, and drug delivery. However, the exploitation of BMNPs in such fields has received a small amount of attention predominantly due to the vital lack of understanding and concerns mainly on the usage of other nanostructured materials, such as stability and bio-degradability over extended-time, ability to form clusters, chemical reactivity, and biocompatibility. In this review article, a close look at bimetallic nanomaterial based glucose biosensing approaches is discussed, concentrating on their clinical applications as detection of glucose in various real sample sources, showing substantial development of their features related to corresponding monometallic counterparts and other existing used nanomaterials for clinical applications.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to spread rapidly, and patients with diabetes are at risk of experiencing rapid progression and poor prognosis for appropriate treatment. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which includes accurately tracking fluctuations in glucose levels without raising the risk of coronavirus exposure, becomes an important strategy for the self-management of diabetes during this pandemic, efficiently contributing to the diabetes care and the fight against COVID-19. Despite being less accurate than direct blood glucose monitoring, wearable noninvasive systems can encourage patient adherence by guaranteeing reliable results through high correlation between blood glucose levels and glucose concentrations in various other biofluids. This review highlights the trending technologies of glucose sensors during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2020) that have been developed to make a significant contribution to effective management of diabetes and prevention of coronavirus spread, from off-body systems to wearable on-body CGM devices, including nanostructure and sensor performance in various biofluids. The advantages and disadvantages of various human biofluids for use in glucose sensors are also discussed. Furthermore, the challenges faced by wearable CGM sensors with respect to personalized healthcare during and after the pandemic are deliberated to emphasize the potential future directions of CGM devices for diabetes management.

Physiological variation in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) housed in different outdoor cages evaluated using the metabolic profile test. Primates 2021; 62:609-615. [PMID: 34003393 DOI: 10.1007/s10329-021-00915-9] [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: 02/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Captive primates require environmental enrichment to minimize physical and mental stress. However, only a few objective evaluations have been performed to assess environment-induced physiological variations in these animals. In this study, we evaluated the usage of the metabolic profile test (MPT) to assess the influences of the housing environment on the physiology of Japanese macaques. Five male macaques were housed in an old type of cage (old cage group), in which the macaques were exposed to wind (except for a shelter box), and four males were in a new -type of cage (new cage group), which had a sub-room with a waterer that was surrounded by insulating panels. Blood samples were collected bimonthly for a year from the two groups to determine the complete blood count and blood biochemistry. The increase in the body weight of the macaques in both groups was suppressed during the cold season. Furthermore, this suppression was more pronounced in the old cage group, suggesting that the energy expenditure was higher in the old cage group than in the new cage group. Moreover, the red blood cell count and hematocrit values were higher during the cold season in both cages than during the warm season, suggesting that macaques were dehydrated during the cold season. Dehydration tendency was more pronounced in the macaques from the old cage group than in those from the new cage group, suggesting that their water intake decreased during the cold season. Our results suggest that the MPT can be used to evaluate environment-induced physiological variations in Japanese macaques.

New application of a traditional method: colorimetric sensor array for reducing sugars based on the in-situ formation of core-shell gold nanorod-coated silver nanoparticles by the traditional Tollens reaction. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:142. [PMID: 33774720 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-04796-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
An effective and robust colorimetric sensor array for simultaneous detection and discrimination of five reducing sugars (i.e., glyceraldehyde (Gly), fructose (Fru), glucose (Glu), maltose (Mal), and ribose (Rib)) has been proposed. In the sensor array, two negatively charged polydielectrics (sodium polystyrenesulfonate (NaPSS) and sodium polymethacrylate (NaPMAA)), which served as the sensing elements, were individually absorbed on the surface of the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-coated gold nanorods (AuNR) with positive charges through electrostatic action, forming the designed sensor units (NaPSS-AuNR and NaPMAA-AuNR). In the presence of Tollens reagent (Ag(NH3)2OH), Ag+ was absorbed on the surface of negatively charged NaPSS-AuNR and NaPMAA-AuNRs. When confronted with differential reducing sugars, different reducing sugars exhibited differential levels of deoxidizing abilities toward Ag+, thus Ag+ was reduced to diverse amounts of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in situ to form core-shell AuNR@AgNP by the traditional Tollens reaction method, leading to distinct colorimetric response patterns (value of AS/AL (the ratio of absorbance at 360 nm to that at 760 nm in Ag+-NaPMAA-AuNR, and the ratio of absorbance at 360 nm to that at 740 nm in Ag+-NaPSS-AuNR)). These response patterns are characteristic for each reducing sugar, and can be quantitatively distinguished by linear discriminant analysis (LDA) at concentrations as low as 10 nM with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.11% (n = 3). The practicability of this sensor array has been validated by recognition of reducing sugars in serum and urine samples. A colorimetric sensor array for reducing sugar discrimination based on the reduction of Ag+ and in situ formation of AuNR@AgNP.

Abstract
Inorganic/organic hybrid nanosystems have been increasingly developed for their versatility and efficacy at overcoming obstacles not readily surmounted by nonhybridized counterparts. Currently, hybrid nanosystems are implemented for gene therapy, drug delivery, and phototherapy in addition to tissue regeneration, vaccines, antibacterials, biomolecule detection, imaging probes, and theranostics. Though diverse, these nanosystems can be classified according to foundational inorganic/organic components, accessory moieties, and architecture of hybridization. Within this Review, we begin by providing a historical context for the development of biomedical hybrid nanosystems before describing the properties, synthesis, and characterization of their component building blocks. Afterward, we introduce the architectures of hybridization and highlight recent biomedical nanosystem developments by area of application, emphasizing hybrids of distinctive utility and innovation. Finally, we draw attention to ongoing clinical trials before recapping our discussion of hybrid nanosystems and providing a perspective on the future of the field.

Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 179:113078. [PMID: 33607417 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Wearable non-invasive glucose sensors that can provide human a painless and portable means to monitor their blood glucose and manage their health condition draw great attentions, recently. Non-invasive human glucose sensors by detecting glucose in interstitial fluid (ISF) extracted through a reverse iontophoresis (RI) approach have been widely investigated, but the current challenges are their complex structure and instability for continuous monitor. Herein, we demonstrate a simple two-electrode non-invasive blood glucose sensor, which is fabricated by using graphene/carbon nanotubes/glucose oxidase composite textile and graphene/carbon nanotube/silver/silver chloride composite textile as the working electrode and counter electrode, respectively. By using one single device, extraction of ISF through RI process is firstly conducted by loading a certain electric current between two electrodes, then the glucose concentration in the ISF is detected through an amperometric approach by using the same two electrodes. The feasibility of these non-invasive glucose sensors is validated on porcine skin, nude mice and human. The blood glucose concentration calculated according to the response currents of the two-electrode sensors is highly consistent with that measured by commercial glucose meter. Furthermore, the used textile-like electrodes provide the non-invasive blood glucose sensors with excellent flexible and wearable properties, which make them promising to be integrated with other electronic units for monitor and management of human health.

Abstract
A capillary-based fluorimetric analysis method was developed for probing glucose (Glu) in blood using Glu oxidase-anchored gold nanoclusters (GOD-AuNCs) and the ZIF-8 matrix. AuNCs were attached with GOD to be further encapsulated into the ZIF-8 matrix through the protein-mediated formation route. The resulting GOD-AuNCs@ZIF-8 nanocomposites could present the AuNC-improved catalysis of GOD and ZIF-8-improved environmental stability. The ZIF-8-enhanced fluorescence intensity of AuNCs could also be expected. Moreover, a capillary-based fluorometric platform was constructed for sensing Glu by coating the capillaries first with GOD-AuNCs and then the ZIF-8 matrix. Herein, Glu was introduced through the self-driven sampling to trigger the GOD-catalyzed production of hydrogen peroxide, which could induce the fluorescence quenching rationally depending on the Glu concentrations. The developed fluorimetric method could allow for the rapid and simple detection of Glu with the concentrations linearly ranging from 5.0 μM to 2.5 mM. Besides, the feasibility of practical applications was demonstrated by the evaluation of Glu in blood showing the recoveries of 96.2%-103.4%. Importantly, the proposed design of the capillary-based fluorimetric platform by the synergetic combination of catalysis-specific recognition and fluorescence signaling may open a new door toward extensive applications in the biological sensing, catalysis, and imaging fields.
