Abstract
Bioelectronics, a field pivotal in monitoring and stimulating biological processes, demands innovative nanomaterials as detection platforms. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their thin structures and exceptional physicochemical properties, have emerged as critical substances in this research. However, these materials face challenges in biomedical applications due to issues related to their biological compatibility, adaptability, functionality, and nano-bio surface characteristics. This review examines surface modifications using covalent and non-covalent-based polymer-functionalization strategies to overcome these limitations by enhancing the biological compatibility, adaptability, and functionality of 2D nanomaterials. These surface modifications aim to create stable and long-lasting therapeutic effects, significantly paving the way for the practical application of polymer-functionalized 2D materials in biosensors and bioelectronics. The review paper critically summarizes the surface functionalization of 2D nanomaterials with biocompatible polymers, including g-C3N4, graphene family, MXene, BP, MOF, and TMDCs, highlighting their current state, physicochemical structures, synthesis methods, material characteristics, and applications in biosensors and bioelectronics. The paper concludes with a discussion of prospects, challenges, and numerous opportunities in the evolving field of bioelectronics.

MICROSYSTEMS & NANOENGINEERING 2024; 10:41. [PMID: 38523657 PMCID: PMC10957866 DOI: 10.1038/s41378-024-00675-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
The perception of fish locomotion is important for understanding their adaptive behaviors and ethological characteristics. However, the main strategy used for extracting fish attitudes involves the use of a vision-based monitoring system, which is limited in its range of observation and cannot perform tracking for long times. Here, we report the use of a wearable tagging electronic device, referred to as an underwater vest, to capture the surrounding flow field disturbances triggered by swimming or momentary postural changes. All of these goals were achieved by integrating a pair of pseudocapacitive pressure-sensing units and a flexible circuit board. Notably, additional conditions, such as variable hydraulic pressures and minimal changes in fish posture, require high stability and sensitivity of the sensing units. Thus, hybrid hydrogel electrodes were developed through cross-linking MXene with holey-reduced graphene oxide nanosheets and further modification with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ionic liquids, which increased the interfacial capacitance and long-term interfacial activity of the MXene. Consequently, the sensing unit exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity (Smax~136,207 kPa-1) in an aquatic environment for 60 days and superior high-pressure resolution (10 Pa) within a wide working range of 1 MPa. Ultimately, an underwater vest integrated with such sensing units clearly distinguished and recorded fish locomotion. We believe that the designed device may open avenues in flow field monitoring and ocean current detection and provide new insights into the development of sensitive underwater tagging.

Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 240:115643. [PMID: 37651949 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115643] [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: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
As an important emerging pollutant, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) monitoring is crucial to protect the ecological environment and public health, but its rapid and accurate detection is still a major challenge. In this study, a new single-labeled dual-signal output ratiometric electrochemical genosensor (E-DNA) was developed for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of ARGs using a synergistic signal amplification strategy of T3C2@Au nanoparticles (T3C2@AuNPs) and isothermal strand displacement polymerase reaction (ISDPR). Specially, two-dimensional monolayer T3C2 nanosheets loaded with uniformly gold nanoparticles were prepared and used as the sensing platform of the E-DNA sensor. Benefiting from excellent conductivity and large specific surface area of Ti3C2@AuNPs, the probe immobilization capacity of the E-DNA sensor is doubled, and electrochemical response signals of the E-DNA sensor were significantly improved. The proposed single-labeled dual-signal output ratiometric sensing strategy exhibits three to six times higher sensitivity for the sul2 gene than the single-signal sensing strategy, which significantly reduces cost meanwhile retaining the advantages of high sensitivity and reliability offered by conventional dual-labeled ratiometric sensors. Coupled with ISDPR amplification technology, the E-DNA sensor has a wider linear range from 10 fM to 10 nM and a limit of detection as low as 2.04 fM (S/N=3). More importantly, the E-DNA sensor demonstrates excellent specificity, good stability and reproducibility for target ARGs detection in real water samples. The proposed new sensing strategy provides a highly sensitive and versatile tool for the rapid and accurate quantitative analysis of various ARGs in environmental water samples.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can enter and accumulate in the human body via the food chain. Even in small concentrations, TC can cause several malignant health effects. We developed a system to simultaneously degrade the presence of TC in food matrices using titanium carbide MXene (FL-Ti3C2Tx). The FL-Ti3C2Tx exhibited biocatalytic property that activates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules in 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB environment. During the FL-Ti3C2Tx reaction, the catalytic products released turn the color of the H2O2/TMB system bluish-green. However, when TC is present, the bluish-green color does not appear. Via quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we found that the TC is degraded by FL-Ti3C2Tx / H2O2 in preference to H2O2/TMB redox reaction, which intervenes in the color change. Hence, we developed a colorimetric assay to detect TC with a LOD of 615.38 nM and proposed two TC degradation pathways that facilitate the highly sensitive colorimetric bioassay.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss dendrimer usage in enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors, particularly with respect to biomolecule loading on the sensing surface. A novel approach to design bioactive layers with immobilized enzymes for electrochemical biosensors using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method in combination with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was presented. The gold surface was modified with linear linkers (various mercaptoalkanoic acids and aminoalkanethiols) and poly(amidoamine) dendrimers from the first- to fifth-generation. The best functionalization procedure was established by detailed SPR studies and transferred onto gold electrodes to electrochemically examine the model enzymatic reaction catalysed by glutamate oxidase. In the case of the chronoamperometric method, the determined sensitivity was 3.36 ± 0.08 μA∙mM-1, and the low limit of detection (LOD) was 1.52 μM. Comparing the sensitivity and LOD obtained for CV measurements, the values of these parameters were 2.5 times higher and 4 times lower, respectively, for the fourth-generation dendrimer-based biosensor and the biosensor with a linear linker. The positive impact of the dendrimer interlayer on the long-term enzyme activity was also confirmed. The research results indicate the possibility of a significant increase in the sensor response using the dendrimer itself without enriching it with electrochemical components.

Abstract
Technological advancements in the healthcare sector have pushed for improved sensors and devices for disease diagnosis and treatment. Recently, with the discovery of numerous biomarkers for various specific physiological conditions, early disease screening has become a possibility. Biomarkers are the body's early warning systems, which are indicators of a biological state that provides a standardized and precise way of evaluating the progression of disease or infection. Owing to the extremely low concentrations of various biomarkers in bodily fluids, signal amplification strategies have become crucial for the detection of biomarkers. Metal nanoparticles are commonly applied on 2D platforms to anchor antibodies and enhance the signals for electrochemical biomarker detection. In this context, this review will discuss the recent trends and advances in metal nanoparticle decorated 2D materials for electrochemical biomarker detection. The prospects, advantages, and limitations of this strategy also will be discussed in the concluding section of this review.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare malignancy of the biliary tract with extremely poor clinical outcomes due to a lack of effective therapies to improve disease management. The emerging green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has extensively provided their use in biomedical applications. In this study, we developed AuNPs via reducing gold salts with apigenin (4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone). The synthesized apigenin-conjugated AuNPs (api-AuNPs) were physicochemically characterized by various techniques before evaluation their biological and functional inhibition in a CCA cell line, KKU-M055. The mean size of api-AuNPs was 90.34 ± 22.82 nm with zeta potential of -36 ± 0.55. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50, 0.8 mg/mL) of api-AuNPs on cell proliferation of KKU-M055 was 1.9-fold less than that of an immortalized human cholangiocyte cell line, MMNK1 (IC50, 1.5 mg/mL). Moreover, api-AuNPs induced cell apoptosis via the up-regulation of Bax, Bid, and Caspase 3, and down-regulation of Bcl2, leading to elevated caspase 3/7, 8, 9 activities and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The api-AuNPs significantly inhibited the migration of KKU-M055 cells and suppressed the proliferation, migration, and in vitro tube formation of vascular endothelial cells. Collectively, our findings indicate the dual abilities of api-AuNPs that potentially inhibit cancer cell growth and motility as well as endothelial cell-mediated angiogenesis, which may offer a novel therapeutic avenue to treat CCA patients effectively.

[PMID: 36499252 PMCID: PMC9739462 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, a novel MXene (Ti3C2Tx)-based nanocarrier was developed for drug delivery. MXene nanosheets were functionalized with 3, 3'-diselanediyldipropionic acid (DSeDPA), followed by grafting doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug to the surface of functionalized MXene nanosheets (MXene-Se-DOX). The nanosheets were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and zeta potential techniques. The drug-loading capacity (17.95%) and encapsulation efficiency (41.66%) were determined using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The lateral size and thickness of the MXene nanosheets measured using AFM were 200 nm and 1.5 nm, respectively. The drug release behavior of the MXene-Se-DOX nanosheets was evaluated under different medium conditions, and the nanosheets demonstrated outstanding dual (reactive oxygen species (ROS)- and pH-) responsive properties. Furthermore, the MXene-Se-DOX nanosheets exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive B. subtilis.

Abstract
Existing public health emergencies due to fatal/infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and monkeypox have raised the paradigm of 5th generation portable and intelligent multifunctional biosensors embedded on a single chip. The state-of-the-art 5th generation biosensors are concerned with integrating advanced functional materials with controllable electronic attributes and optimal machine processability. In this direction, 2D metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), owing to their enhanced effective surface area, tunable physicochemical attributes, and rich surface functionalities, have shown promising performances in biosensing flatlands. Moreover, their hybridization with diversified nanomaterials caters to their associated challenges for the commercialization of stability due to restacking and oxidation. MXenes and its hybrid biosensors have demonstrated intelligent and lab-on-chip prospects for determining diverse biomarkers/pathogens related to fatal and infectious diseases. Recently, on-site detection has been clubbed with solution-on-chip MXenes by interfacing biosensors with modern-age technologies, including 5G communication, internet-of-medical-things (IoMT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data clouding to progress toward hospital-on-chip (HOC) modules. This review comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art MXene fabrication, advancements in physicochemical properties to architect biosensors, and the progress of MXene-based lab-on-chip biosensors toward HOC solutions. Besides, it discusses sustainable aspects, practical challenges and alternative solutions associated with these modules to develop personalized and remote health solutions for every individual in the world.

Abstract
A rapid combustion process was applied to prepare CaFe2O4 nanomaterials using CaBr2·xH2O and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as raw materials and CaFe2O4 nanomaterials were characterized by SEM, TEM, VSM, XRD, and FTIR techniques. The results showed that the prepared nanomaterials had a sheet-like structure, and for larger adsorption capacity of dyes, CaFe2O4 nanosheets prepared at 700°C for 2 h with average grain size was 93.3 nm, a thickness of 8.4 nm, and the saturation magnetization of 8.15 emu/g were employed as adsorbate for the removal of methyl blue (MB). The adsorption performance of MB onto CaFe2O4 nanosheets was investigated; CaFe2O4 nanosheets displayed favorable adsorption capacity, and the adsorption conformed to the pseudo-second-order model and the Freundlich model, which demonstrated that the adsorption process of MB on CaFe2O4 nanosheets belonged to multilayer chemisorption process. When the pH value reached 3, the adsorption capacity of MB by CaFe2O4 nanosheets kept maximum value of 478.07 mg/g; and after 5 regenerations, the removal efficiency of MB was reduced to 59.06% of the first time. The electrochemical behavior of MB onto the nanosheets was evaluated through CV in conjunction with EIS. The CaFe2O4 nanosheets revealed a promising prospect for the adsorption of dyes.

Poly(amidoamine) dendrimer immunosensor for ultrasensitive gravimetric and electrochemical detection of matrix metalloproteinase-9. Talanta 2022; 247:123600. [PMID: 35659686 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.123600] [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: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Monitoring the level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and inhibiting its expression is important for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. However, the analysis of MMP-9 is challenging owing to its very low content in the blood, especially at the early stages of diseases. Therefore, we developed an ultrasensitive and easy-to-use immunosensor based on a three-dimensional (3D) bioplatform for the determination of the total MMP-9 concentration in plasma. The used 3D bioplatform (G2 poly(amidoamine) dendrimer; PAMAM) improved the sensitivity of the determination by significantly expanding the surface area of the receptor layer. The antigen-antibody recognition process was controlled by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of the orientation of antibody molecules in the sensing layer on the work parameters of the immunosensor was analyzed using unmodified PAMAM (PAMAM-NH2) and PAMAM functionalized with -COOH groups (PAMAM-COOH). The developed immunosensor based on PAMAM-NH2 was characterized by a lower detection limit (LOD = 2.0 pg⋅mL-1) and wider analytical range (1·10-4 - 5 μg⋅mL-1 for EIS and QCM-D) compared to PAMAM-COOH immunosensor (EIS: 1·10-4 - 0.5 μg⋅mL-1; QCM-D: 5·10-4 - 0.5 μg⋅mL-1). The functionality of the proposed device was verified in spiked plasma. The recoveries determined in commercial human and rat plasma and noncommercial rat plasma were very close to the value of 100% and in the range of 96-120% for Au/PAMAM-NH2/Ab and Au/PAMAM-COOH/Ab immunosensors, respectively. The designed analytical devices showed high selectivity and sensitivity without the use of any amplifiers such as metal nanoparticles or enzymes.
