Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been a rising interest in utilizing functionalized porous polymers for sensor applications. By incorporating functional groups into nanostructured materials like hydrogels, nanosheets, and nanopores, exciting new opportunities have emerged for biomarker detection. The ability of functionalized polymers to undergo physical changes and deformations makes them perfect for modulating optical signals. This chemical mechanism enables the creation of biocompatible sensors for in situ biomarker measurement. Here a comprehensive overview of the current publication trends is provided in functionalized polymers, encompassing functional groups that can induce measurable physical deformations. It explores various materials categorized based on their detection targets, which include proteins, carbohydrates, ions, and deoxyribonucleic acid. As such, this work serves as a valuable reference for the development of functionalized polymer-based sensors.

Abstract
Real-time glucose monitoring conventionally involves non-bioresorbable semi-implantable glucose sensors, causing infection and pain during removal. Despite bioresorbable electronics serves as excellent alternatives, the bioresorbable sensor dissolves in aqueous environments with interferential biomolecules. Here, the theories to achieve stable electrode potential and accurate electrochemical detection using bioresorbable materials have been proposed, resulting in a fully printed bioresorbable electrochemical device. The adverse effect caused by material degradation has been overcome by a molybdenum-tungsten reference electrode that offers stable potential through galvanic-coupling and self-compensation modules. In vitro and in vivo glucose monitoring has been conducted for 7 and 5 days, respectively, followed by full degradation within 2 months. The device offers a glucose detection range of 0 to 25 millimolars and a sensitivity of 0.2458 microamperes per millimolar with anti-interference capability and biocompatibility, indicating the possibility of mass manufacturing high-performance bioresorbable electrochemical devices using printing and low-temperature water-sintering techniques. The mechanisms may be implemented developing more comprehensive bioresorbable sensors for chronic diseases.

Abstract
A noninvasive sweat-based biosensor was developed for urea detection using a photonic bilayer actuator film (BAF) consisting of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) as the active layer and a flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate as the passive layer (IPN/PET). The active IPN layer comprises intertwined solid-state cholesteric liquid crystal and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) networks. Urease was immobilized in the PAA network in the IPN layer of the photonic BAF. The interaction with aqueous urea altered the curvature and photonic color of the photonic urease-immobilized IPN/PET (IPNurease/PET) BAF. The curvature (and wavelength of the photonic color) of the IPNurease/PET BAF increased linearly with urea concentration (Curea) in the range of Curea = 20-65 (and 30-65) mM with a limit of detection value of 1.42 (and 1.34) mM. The developed photonic IPNurease/PET BAF exhibited high selectivity toward urea and excellent spike test results with real human sweat. This novel IPNurease/PET BAF is promising because it enables battery-free, cost-effective, and visual detection-based analysis without the use of sophisticated instruments. Furthermore, the application of this photonic IPN/PET BAF can be easily extended to other biosensors by immobilizing other receptors on the IPN.

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.

MXene nanoflakes decorating ZnO tetrapods for enhanced performance of skin-attachable stretchable enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 207:114141.

Abstract
Continuous painless glucose monitoring is the greatest desire of more than 422 million diabetics worldwide. Therefore, new non-invasive and convenient approaches to glucose monitoring are more in demand than other tests for microanalytical diagnostic tools. Besides, blood glucose detection can be replaced by continuous glucose monitoring of other human biological fluids (e.g. sweat) collected non-invasively. In this study, a skin-attachable and stretchable electrochemical enzymatic sensor based on ZnO tetrapods (TPs) and a new class of 2D materials - transition metal carbides, known as MXene, was developed and their electroanalytical behavior was tailored for continuous detection glucose in sweat. The high specific area of ZnO TPs and superior electrical conductivity of MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanoflakes enabled to produce enzymatic electrochemical glucose biosensor with enhanced sensitivity in sweat sample (29 μA mM-1 cm-2), low limit of detection (LOD ≈ 17 μM), broad linear detection range (LDR = 0.05-0.7 mM) that satisfices glucose detection application in human sweat, and advanced mechanical stability (up to 30% stretching) of the template. The developed skin-attachable stretchable electrochemical electrodes allowed to monitor the level of glucose in sweat while sugar uptake and during physical activity. Continuous in vivo monitoring of glucose in sweat obtained during 60 min correlated well with data collected by a conventional amperometric blood glucometer in vitro mode. Our findings demonstrate the high potential of developed ZnO/MXene skin-attachable stretchable sensors for biomedical applications on a daily basis.

Abstract
Early glucose detection is important in both healthy people and diabetic patients. Glucose biosensing based on glucose oxidase (GOX) is a common method. However, native proteins are mostly membrane impermeable and are prone to degradation in complex sample environments. Herein, we report a facile one-step biomineralization method by simply mixing aqueous solutions of hemin and barium nitrate with glucose oxidase (GOX) to form Ba–hemin@GOX composites. Glucose (Glu) is introduced through self-driven sampling to trigger the GOX-catalysed production of hydrogen peroxide, which could help the subsequent 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation reaction catalysed by Ba–hemin to yield the blue-coloured product. The sensor exhibited a detection limit as low as 3.08 μM. The operability and accuracy of the Ba–hemin@GOX biosensor were confirmed by the quantitative determination of glucose in real samples, such as tap water, serum and drinks. Moreover, the Ba–hemin@GOX-based colorimetric biosensor showed good selectivity, storage stability and recoverability. The experimental results reveal that a GOX activity of more than 90% was still maintained even after being incubated at 60 °C for 30 minutes, and Ba–hemin@GOX could be reused for glucose detection at least six times. Even after 30 days of storage, the relative activity was still more than 90%. Overall, the developed Ba–hemin@GOX biosensor provides a valuable and general platform for applications in colorimetric biosensing and medical diagnostics. The Ba–hemin@GOX composite is used for sensitive glucose detection.![]()

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous membrane, consisting of separately encapsulated glucose oxidase (GOx) and glucose (Glu) nanofibers, was prepared via simultaneously electrospinning PVA/GOx and PVA/Glu dopes. The as-prepared pristine membrane could self-sustainably generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) only in contact with an aqueous solution. The H2O2 production level was well maintained even after storing the dry membrane at room temperature for 7 days. Cross-linking the membrane via reaction with glutaraldehyde (GA) vapor could not only prevent the nanofibrous membrane from dissolving in water but also prolonged the release of H2O2. The sustained release of H2O2 from the membrane achieved antimicrobial capability equivalent to that of 1% H2O2 against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Gram(+) S. aureus cells were more susceptible to H2O2 than Gram(-) E. coli and >99% of S. aureus were killed after 1 h incubation with the membrane. Pristine and GA-crosslinked nanofibrous membrane with in situ production of H2O2 were self-sterilized in which no microorganism contamination on the membrane could be detected after 2 weeks incubation on an agar plate. The GOx/Glu membrane may find potential application as versatile antimicrobial materials in the field of biomedicine, in the food and health industries, and especially challenges related to wound healing in diabetic patients.
