Abstract
Mechanical damages to skeletal muscles could be detrimental to the active work hours and lifestyle of athletes, mountaineers, and security personnel. In this regard, the slowness of conventional treatment strategies and drug-associated side effects greatly demand the design and development of novel biomaterials, which can rescue such mechanically damaged skeletal muscles. To accomplish this demand, we have developed a musculoresponsive polymer-carbon composite for assisting myotubular regeneration (MusCAMLR). The MusCAMLR is enforced to attain anisotropic muscle-like characteristics while incorporating a smartly passivated nanoscale carbon material in the PNIPAM gel under physiological conditions as a stimulus, which is not achieved by the pristine nanocarbon system. The MusCAMLR establishes a specific mechanical interaction with muscle cells, supports myotube regeneration, maintains excellent mechanical similarity with the myotube, and restores the structural integrity and biochemical parameters of mechanically damaged muscles in a delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) rat model within a short period of 72 h. Concisely, this study discloses the potential of smartly passivated nanocarbon in generating an advanced biomaterial system, MusCAMLR, from a regularly used polymeric hydrogel system. This engineered polymer-carbon composite reveals its possible potential to be used as a nondrug therapeutic alternative for rescuing mechanically damaged muscles and probably can be extended for therapy of various other diseases including muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
The study of ocular manifestations of neurodegenerative disorders, Oculomics, is a growing field of investigation for early diagnostics, enabling structural and chemical biomarkers to be monitored overtime to predict prognosis. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a cascade of events harmful to the brain, which can lead to neurodegeneration. TBI, termed the "silent epidemic" is becoming a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. There is currently no effective diagnostic tool for TBI, and yet, early-intervention is known to considerably shorten hospital stays, improve outcomes, fasten neurological recovery and lower mortality rates, highlighting the unmet need for techniques capable of rapid and accurate point-of-care diagnostics, implemented in the earliest stages. This review focuses on the latest advances in the main neuropathophysiological responses and the achievements and shortfalls of TBI diagnostic methods. Validated and emerging TBI-indicative biomarkers are outlined and linked to ocular neuro-disorders. Methods detecting structural and chemical ocular responses to TBI are categorised along with prospective chemical and physical sensing techniques. Particular attention is drawn to the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive sensing of neurological molecular signatures in the ocular projections of the brain, laying the platform for the first tangible path towards alternative point-of-care diagnostic technologies for TBI.

Abstract
![]()
Personalized and
point-of-care (POC) diagnoses are critical for
ocular physiology and disease diagnosis. Real-time monitoring and
continuous sampling abilities of tear fluid and user-friendliness
have become the key characteristics for the applied ophthalmic techniques.
Fluorescence technologies, as one of the most popular methods that
can fulfill the requirements of clinical ophthalmic applications for
optical sensing, have been raised and applied for tear sensing and
diagnostic platforms in recent decades. Wearable sensors in this case
have been increasingly developed for ocular diagnosis. Contact lenses,
as one of the commercialized and popular tools for ocular dysfunction,
have been developed as a platform for fluorescence sensing in tears
diagnostics and real-time monitoring. Numbers of biochemical analytes
have been examined through developed fluorescent contact lens sensors,
including pH values, electrolytes, glucose, and enzymes. These sensors
have been proven for monitoring ocular conditions, enhancing and detecting
medical treatments, and tracking efficiency of related ophthalmic
surgeries at POC settings. This review summarizes the applied ophthalmic
fluorescence sensing technologies in tears for ocular diagnosis and
monitoring. In addition, the cooperation of fabricated fluorescent
sensor with mobile phone readout devices for diagnosing ocular diseases
with specific biomarkers continuously is also discussed. Further perspectives
for the developments and applications of fluorescent ocular sensing
and diagnosing technologies are also provided.

Abstract
Carbon materials are generally utilized in the form of carbon allotropes and their characteristics are exploited as such or for improving the thermal, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of other biomaterials. This has now found a broader share in conventional biomaterial space with the generation of nanodiamond, carbon dot, carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), and so forth. With properties of better biocompatibility, intrinsic optical emission, aqueous suspendability, and easier surface conjugation possibilities made CNPs as one of the fore most choice for biological applications especially for use in intracellular spaces. There are various reports available presenting methods of preparing, characterizing, and using CNPs for various biological applications but a collection of information on what makes CNP a suitable biomaterial to achieve those biological activities is yet to be provided in a significant way. Herein, a series of correlations among synthesis, characterization, and mode of utilization of CNP have been incorporated along with the variations in its use as agent for sensing, imaging, and therapy of different diseases or conditions. It is ensembled that how simplified and optimized methods of synthesis is correlated with specific characteristics of CNPs which were found to be suitable in the specific biological applications. These comparisons and correlations among various CNPs, will surely provide a platform to generate new edition of this nanomaterial with improvised applications and newer methods of evaluating structural, physical, and functional properties. This may ensure the eventual use of CNPs for human being for specific need in near future.

Abstract
With characters of low cost, portability, easy disposal, and high accuracy, as well as bulky reduced laboratory equipment, paper-based sensors are getting increasing attention for reliable indoor/outdoor onsite detection with nonexpert operation. They have become powerful analysis tools in trace detection with ultra-low detection limits and extremely high accuracy, resulting in their great popularity in medical detection, environmental inspection, and other applications. Herein, we summarize and generalize the recently reported paper-based sensors based on their application for mechanics, biomolecules, food safety, and environmental inspection. Based on the biological, physical, and chemical analytes-sensitive electrical or optical signals, extensive detections of a large number of factors such as humidity, pressure, nucleic acid, protein, sugar, biomarkers, metal ions, and organic/inorganic chemical substances have been reported via paper-based sensors. Challenges faced by the current paper-based sensors from the fundamental problems and practical applications are subsequently analyzed; thus, the future directions of paper-based sensors are specified for their rapid handheld testing.

Abstract
A large-scale diagnosis of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is essential to downregulate its spread within as well as across communities and mitigate the current outbreak of the pandemic novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Herein, we report the development of a rapid (less than 5 min), low-cost, easy-to-implement, and quantitative paper-based electrochemical sensor chip to enable the digital detection of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material. The biosensor uses gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), capped with highly specific antisense oligonucleotides (ssDNA) targeting viral nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (N-gene). The sensing probes are immobilized on a paper-based electrochemical platform to yield a nucleic-acid-testing device with a readout that can be recorded with a simple hand-held reader. The biosensor chip has been tested using samples collected from Vero cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus and clinical samples. The sensor provides a significant improvement in output signal only in the presence of its target-SARS-CoV-2 RNA-within less than 5 min of incubation time, with a sensitivity of 231 (copies μL-1)-1 and limit of detection of 6.9 copies/μL without the need for any further amplification. The sensor chip performance has been tested using clinical samples from 22 COVID-19 positive patients and 26 healthy asymptomatic subjects confirmed using the FDA-approved RT-PCR COVID-19 diagnostic kit. The sensor successfully distinguishes the positive COVID-19 samples from the negative ones with almost 100% accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity and exhibits an insignificant change in output signal for the samples lacking a SARS-CoV-2 viral target segment (e.g., SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, or negative COVID-19 samples collected from healthy subjects). The feasibility of the sensor even during the genomic mutation of the virus is also ensured from the design of the ssDNA-conjugated AuNPs that simultaneously target two separate regions of the same SARS-CoV-2 N-gene.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles have incredible potential for biomedical applications by enabling visual confirmation of therapeutic efficacy. Numerous issues challenge their clinical translation and are primarily related to the complex chemistry and scalability of synthesizing Nanoparticles. We report a 2-step chemical strategy for high-throughput intracellular delivery of organic and inorganic solid nanoparticles. This process takes an additional step beyond hydrophobic surface modification facilitated by inverted micelle transfer, toward the packing of multiple solid nanoparticles into a soft-shelled lipid capsule, termed the Nano-multicapsule (NMC). This technique is high yielding and does not require the complex purification steps in anaerobic/hydrophobic reactions for hydrophobic modification. To demonstrate the efficacy across different material compositions, we separately entrapped ∼10 nm gold and carbon nanoparticles (AuNP and CNP) within inverted micelles, and subsequently NMCs, then quantified their internalization in a human breast cancer cell line. For encapsulated AuNPs (NMC-AuNP), we confirmed greater cellular internalization of gold through ICP-OES and TEM analyses. Raman spectroscopic analysis of cells treated with encapsulated CNPs (NMC-CNP) also exhibited high degrees of uptake with apparent intracellular localization as opposed to free CNP treatment.

Abstract
Lack of current techniques for the early monitoring of bleb leaks and other post-traumatic or post-surgical ocular injury has posed an unmet clinical need for the development of new techniques. Present evaluation techniques use either subjective or nonquantitative approaches. At present, there are no FDA approved ocular devices that can directly measure ascorbic acid (AA) concentration levels for both tear film (TF) and aqueous humor (AH) at point-of-care (POC) level. Toward this aim, we present a novel POC quantitative assay, called the ocular biosensor device, which can be used to evaluate the integrity of the anterior surface of the eye by measuring the concentration of AA in TF and AH. Herein, we utilize a novel scientific engineering approach for the development of a disposable paper based POC ocular biosensor strip. A grafted poly(styrene)-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) and graphene platelet composite with contour based μ-electrodes design (CBμE) exhibit a highly sensitive platform to perform electrochemical immunosensing technique to study clinical samples that have small volumes like tear fluid. Samples used in this study were collected clinically from subjects undergoing therapeutic anterior chamber paracentesis. The proposed biosensor reports the level of AA concentration on an electronic screen, making the results easy to read, efficient, and reliable.
