Abstract
A significant portion of mammalian proteomes is secreted to the extracellular space to fulfill crucial roles in cell-to-cell communication. To best recapitulate the intricate and multi-faceted crosstalk between cells in a live organism, there is an ever-increasing need for methods to study protein secretion in model systems that include multiple cell types. In addition, posttranslational modifications further expand the complexity and versatility of cellular communication. This review aims to summarize recent strategies and model systems that employ cellular coculture, chemical biology tools, protein enrichment, and proteomic methods to characterize the composition and function of cellular secretomes. This is all geared towards gaining better understanding of organismal biology in vivo mediated by secretory signaling.

Abstract
Miniaturization is the trend to manufacture ever smaller devices and this process requires knowledge, experience, understanding of materials, manufacturing techniques and scaling laws. The fabrication techniques used in semiconductor industry deliver an exceptionally high yield of devices and provide a well-established platform. Today, these miniaturized devices are manufactured with high reproducibility, design flexibility, scalability and multiplexed features to be used in several applications including micro-, nano-fluidics, implantable chips, diagnostics/biosensors and neural probes. We here provide a review on the microfabricated devices used for biology driven science. We will describe the ubiquity of the use of micro-nanofabrication techniques in biology and biotechnology through the fabrication of high-aspect-ratio devices for cell sensing applications, intracellular devices, probes developed for neuroscience-neurotechnology and biosensing of the certain biomarkers. Recently, the research on micro and nanodevices for biology has been progressing rapidly. While the understanding of the unknown biological fields -such as human brain- has been requiring more research with advanced materials and devices, the development protocols of desired devices has been advancing in parallel, which finally meets with some of the requirements of biological sciences. This is a very exciting field and we aim to highlight the impact of micro-nanotechnologies that can shed light on complex biological questions and needs.

Abstract
In the study of the brain, large and high-density microelectrode arrays have been widely used to study the behavior of neurotransmission. CMOS technology has facilitated these devices by enabling the integration of high-performance amplifiers directly on-chip. Usually, these large arrays measure only the voltage spikes resulting from action potentials traveling along firing neuronal cells. However, at synapses, communication between neurons occurs by the release of neurotransmitters, which cannot be measured on typical CMOS electrophysiology devices. Development of electrochemical amplifiers has resulted in the measurement of neurotransmitter exocytosis down to the level of a single vesicle. To effectively monitor the complete picture of neurotransmission, measurement of both action potentials and neurotransmitter activity is needed. Current efforts have not resulted in a device that is capable of the simultaneous measurement of action potential and neurotransmitter release at the same spatiotemporal resolution needed for a comprehensive study of neurotransmission. In this paper, we present a true dual-mode CMOS device that fully integrates 256-ch electrophysiology amplifiers and 256-ch electrochemical amplifiers, along with an on-chip 512 electrode microelectrode array capable of simultaneous measurement from all 512 channels.

Abstract
Neurotransmitter exocytosis of living cells plays a vital role in neuroscience. However, the available amperometric technique with carbon fiber electrodes typically measures exocytotic events from one cell during one procedure, which requires professional operations and takes time to produce statistical results of multiple cells. Here, we develop a functionally collaborative nanostructure to directly measure the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) exocytosis from living rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. The functionally collaborative nanostructure is constructed of metal-organic framework (MOF)-on-nanowires-on-graphene oxide, which is highly sensitive to DA molecules and enables direct detection of neurotransmitter exocytosis. Using the microsensor, the exocytosis from PC12 cells pretreated with the desired drugs (e.g., anticoronavirus drug, antiflu drug, or anti-inflammatory drug) has been successfully measured. Our achievements demonstrate the feasibility of the functionally collaborative nanostructure in the real-time detection of exocytosis and the potential applicability in the highly efficient assessment of the modulation effects of medications on exocytosis.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters act as chemical messengers, determining human physiological and psychological function, and abnormal levels of neurotransmitters are related to conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Biologically and clinically relevant concentrations of neurotransmitters are usually very low (nM), so electrochemical and electronic sensors for neurotransmitter detection play an important role in achieving sensitive and selective detection. Additionally, these sensors have the distinct advantage to potentially be wireless, miniaturized, and multichannel, providing remarkable opportunities for implantable, long-term sensing capabilities unachievable by spectroscopic or chromatographic detection methods. In this article, we will focus on advances in the development and characterization of electrochemical and electronic sensors for neurotransmitters during the last five years, identifying how the field is progressing as well as critical knowledge gaps for sensor researchers.

Abstract
Neurochemical events involving biosignals of different time and space dimensionalities constitute the complex basis of neurological functions and diseases. In view of this fact, electrochemical measurements enabling real-time quantification of neurochemicals at multiple levels of spatiotemporal resolution can provide informative clues to decode the molecular networks bridging vesicles and brains. This Minireview focuses on how scientific questions regarding the properties of single vesicles, neurotransmitter release kinetics, interstitial neurochemical dynamics, and multisignal interconnections in vivo have driven the design of electrochemical nano/microsensors, sensing interface engineering, and signal/data processing. An outlook for the future frontline in this realm will also be provided.

Abstract
Measuring cell secretion events is crucial to understand the fundamental cell biology that underlies cell-cell communication, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Although strategies targeting cell populations have provided significant information about live cell secretion, they yield ensemble profiles that obscure intrinsic cell-to-cell variations. Innovation in single-cell analysis has made breakthroughs allowing accurate sensing of a wide variety of secretions and their release dynamics with high spatiotemporal resolution. This perspective focuses on the power of single-cell protocols to revolutionize cell-secretion analysis by allowing real-time and real-space measurements on single live cell resolution. We begin by discussing recent progress on single-cell bioanalytical techniques, specifically optical sensing strategies such as fluorescence-, surface plasmon resonance-, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based strategies, capable of in situ real-time monitoring of single-cell released ions, metabolites, proteins, and vesicles. Single-cell sensing platforms which allow for high-throughput high-resolution analysis with enough accuracy are highlighted. Furthermore, we discuss remaining challenges that should be addressed to get a more comprehensive understanding of secretion biology. Finally, future opportunities and potential breakthroughs in secretome analysis that will arise as a result of further development of single-cell sensing approaches are discussed.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of extracellular pH (pHe) at the single-cell level is critical for elucidating the mechanisms of disease development and investigating drug effects, with particular importance in cancer cells. However, there are still some challenges for analyzing and measuring pHe due to the strong heterogeneity of cancer cells. Thus, it is necessary to develop a reliable method with good selectivity, reproducibility, and stability for achieving the pHe heterogeneity of cancer cells. In this paper, we report a high-throughput, real-time measuring technique based on polyaniline (PANI) microelectrode arrays for monitoring single-cell pHe. The PANI microelectrode array not only has a high sensitivity (57.22 mV/pH) ranging from pH 6.0 to 7.6 but also exhibits a high reliability (after washing, the PANI film was still smooth, dense, and with a sensitivity of 55.9 mV/pH). Our results demonstrated that the pHe of the cancer cell region is lower than that of the surrounding blank region, and pHe changes of different cancer cells exhibit significant cellular heterogeneity during cellular respiration and drug stimulation processes.
