[PMID: 38043653 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128488] [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: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogels are highly biocompatible biomaterials composed of crosslinked three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers. Owing to their natural origin, polysaccharide-based hydrogels (PBHs) possess low toxicity, high biocompatibility and demonstrate in vivo biodegradability, making them great candidates for use in various biomedical devices, implants, and tissue engineering. In addition, many polysaccharides also show additional biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticoagulant, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hemostatic, and anti-inflammatory, which can provide additional therapeutic benefits. The porous nature of PBHs allows for the immobilization of antibodies, aptamers, enzymes and other molecules on their surface, or within their matrix, potentiating their use in biosensor devices. Specific polysaccharides can be used to produce transparent hydrogels, which have been used widely to fabricate ocular implants. The ability of PBHs to encapsulate drugs and other actives has been utilized for making neural implants and coatings for cardiovascular devices (stents, pacemakers and venous catheters) and urinary catheters. Their high water-absorption capacity has been exploited to make superabsorbent diapers and sanitary napkins. The barrier property and mechanical strength of PBHs has been used to develop gels and films as anti-adhesive formulations for the prevention of post-operative adhesion. Finally, by virtue of their ability to mimic various body tissues, they have been explored as scaffolds and bio-inks for tissue engineering of a wide variety of organs. These applications have been described in detail, in this review.

Abstract
Nanopore sensing is at the forefront of the technological revolution of the protein research field and has been widely used in molecular diagnosis and molecular dynamics, as well as for various sequencing applications. However, direct protein sensing with biological nanopores is still challenging owing to the large molecular size. Here, we propose an aptamer-assisted nanopore strategy for direct protein sensing and demonstrate its proof-of-concept utilities by experiments with SARS-Cov-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP), the most abundantly expressed viral protein, that is widely used in clinical diagnosis for COVID-19. NP binds with an oligonucleotide-tailed aptamer to form a protein-DNA complex which induces a discriminative two-level pattern of current blockades. We reveal the potential molecular interaction mechanism for the characteristic blockades and identify the salt gradient condition as the dominant factor of the phenomenon. Furthermore, we achieve a high sensitivity of 10 pM for NP detection within one hour and make a preliminary exploration on clinical diagnosis. This work promises a new platform for rapid and label-free protein detection.

Abstract
Animals can easily detect hundreds of thousands of odors in the environment with high sensitivity and selectivity. With the progress of biological olfactory research, scientists have extracted multiple biomaterials and integrated them with different transducers thus generating numerous biosensors. Those biosensors inherit the sensing ability of living organisms and present excellent detection performance. In this paper, we mainly introduce odor biosensors based on substances from animal olfactory systems. Several instances of organ/tissue-based, cell-based, and protein-based biosensors are described and compared. Furthermore, we list some other biological materials such as peptide, nanovesicle, enzyme, and aptamer that are also utilized in odor biosensors. In addition, we illustrate the further developments of odor biosensors.

Abstract
A cell expressing an olfactory receptor (OR) exhibits excellent odorant detection ability and thus is widely applied in odor biosensors. Most of those biosensors, however, could detect only liquid-phase nonchanging single-component odorants. In this paper, we raised up an odor biosensor for the active tracking of temporally changing gas-phase odor mixture by an array of cells expressing ORs. A thin stable liquid film covered the cell, thus allowing gas-phase odorants to penetrate. The online image processing generated individual cell brightness data which were used to compute the biosensor response. Based on the obtained responses, we adjusted the known odor components to be similar with the unknown odor. The function of our biosensor was validated by tracking the variable single-component odorant or the binary odor mixture. The influence from the sensor drift could be overcome by comparing the adjacent unknown and known odor responses. In the odor mixture quantification, adding the OR label to mixed cells and then quantifying separately (named as the pre-label method) was more efficient, while directly using the cell response pattern (named as the label-free method) was still capable even if the OR odor had cross-sensitivity.

Abstract
Dielectric breakdown technique was utlised to fabricate 5-6 nm nanopores for vanillin detection in various food samples. A highly selective aptamer (Van_74) with high binding affinity towards vanillin was used as capture probe. Under optimal conditions, aptamer/vanillin complex translocation induced deeper events than the bare aptamer. As a result, the proposed nanopore aptasensor exhibits a linear range from 0.5 to 5 nM (R2 = 0.972) and a low detection limit of 500 pM, which is significantly better than conventional platforms. Furthermore, our aptasensor showed excellent immunity against different interferons and was used to detect vanillin in different food samples. The food sample measurements were confirmed with an additional UV-Vis assay, the results of the two techniques were statistically evaluated and showed no statistically significant difference. Hence, this work represents a proof-of-concept involving the design and testing of aptamer/nanopore sensors for small molecules detection, which plays a critical role in food safety.

Abstract
Ion current rectification is highly reported in aqueous electrochemical systems and sensors but lacks exploration in organic systems due to the additional complexity introduced by non-aqueous solvents. Herein, a detailed study on ion current rectification with highly polar and mildly polar aprotic organic solvents as a function of tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate supporting electrolyte concentration is presented. To explain our experimental results, we introduce a previously unreported phenomenon: the formation of a double-junction diode within the nanopore that arises due to a complex interplay between ion and solvent enrichment effects. Finite element simulations are used to explore this phenomenon and the subsequent effect on the rectifying behavior of conical quartz nanopores.

Abstract
The rapid development of aptamers has helped address the challenges presented by the wide existed pesticides contaminations. Screening of aptamers with excellent performance is a prerequisite for successfully constructing biosensors, while further tailoring of aptamers with enhanced activity greatly improved the assay performance. Firstly, this paper reviewed the advanced screening strategies for pesticides aptamers, including immobilization screening that preserves the native structures of targets, non-immobilized screening based on nanomaterials, capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX), virtual screening in silico, high-throughput selection, and rational secondary library generation methods, which contributed significantly to improve the success rate of screening, reduce the screening time, and ensure aptamer binding affinity. Secondly, the precise tailoring strategies for pesticides aptamers were modularly elaborated, containing deletion, splitting, elongation, and fusion, which provided various advantages like cost-efficiency, enhanced binding affinity, and new derived functional motifs. Thirdly, the developed aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) for pesticide detection were systematically reviewed according to the different signal output modes. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of pesticide detection are discussed comprehensively.

Abstract
Food safety assurance systems are becoming more stringent in response to the growing food safety problems. Rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection technology is a prerequisite for the establishment of food safety assurance systems. Nanopore technology has been taken as one of the emerging technology capable of dealing with the detection of harmful contaminants as efficiently as possible due to the advantage of label-free, high-throughput, amplification-free, and rapid detection features. Start with the history of nanopore techniques, this review introduced the underlying knowledge of detection mechanism of nanopore-based sensing techniques. Meanwhile, sensing interfaces for the construction of nanopore sensors are comprehensively summarized. Moreover, this review covers the current advances of nanopore techniques in the application of food safety screening. Currently, the establishment of nanopore sensing devices is mainly based on the blocking current phenomenon. Sensing interfaces including biological nanopores, solid-state nanopores, DNA origami, and de novo designed nanopores can be used in the manufacture of sensing devices. Food harmful substances, including heavy metals, veterinary drugs, pesticide residues, food toxins, and other harmful substances can be quickly determined by nanopore-based sensors. Moreover, the combination of nanopore techniques with advanced materials has become one of the most effective methods to improve sensing properties.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection technologies for food contaminants play vital roles in food safety. Due to the complexity of the food matrix and the trace amount distribution, traditional methods often suffer from unsatisfying accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity. In past decades, single-molecule detection (SMD) has emerged as a way to realize the rapid and ultrasensitive measurement with low sample consumption, showing a great potential in food contaminants detection. For instance, based on the nanopore technique, simple and effective methods for single-molecule analysis of food contaminants have been developed. To our knowledge, there has been a rare review that focuses on SMD techniques for food safety. The present review attempts to cover some typical SMD methods in food safety, including electrochemistry, optical spectrum, and atom force microscopy. Then, recent applications of these techniques for detecting food contaminants such as biotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals, and illegal additives are reviewed. Finally, existing research challenges and future trends of SMD in food safety are also tentatively proposed.

Abstract
This study presents the experimental testing of a gas-sensing array, for the detection of two commercially available pesticides (i.e., Chloract 48 EC and Nimrod), towards its eventual use along a commercial smart-farming system. The array is comprised of four distinctive sensing devices based on nanoparticles, each functionalized with a different gas-absorbing polymeric layer. As discussed herein, the sensing array is able to identify as well as quantify three gas-analytes, two pesticide solutions, and relative humidity, which acts as a reference analyte. All of the evaluation experiments were conducted in close to real-life conditions; specifically, the sensors response towards the three analytes was tested in three relative humidity backgrounds while the effect of temperature was also considered. The unique response patterns generated after the exposure of the sensing-array to the two gas-analytes were analyzed using the common statistical analysis tool Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The sensing array, being compact, low-cost, and highly sensitive, can be easily integrated with pre-existing crop-monitoring solutions. Given that there are limited reports for effective pesticide gas-sensing solutions, the proposed gas-sensing technology would significantly upgrade the added-value of the integrated system, providing it with unique advantages.

Abstract
Biohybrid odorant sensors that directly integrate a biological olfactory system have been increasingly studied and are suggested to be the next generation of ultrasensitive sensors by taking advantage of the sensitivity and selectivity of living organisms. In this review, we provide a detailed description of the recent developments of biohybrid odorant sensors, especially considering the requisites for their perspective of on-site applications. We introduce the methodologies to effectively capture the biological signals from olfactory systems by readout devices, and describe the essential properties regarding the gaseous detection, stability, quality control, and portability. Moreover, we address the recent progress on multiple odorant recognition using multiple sensors as well as the current screening approaches for pairs of orphan receptors and ligands necessary for the extension of the currently available range of biohybrid sensors. Finally, we discuss our perspectives for the future for the development of practical odorant sensors.

Abstract
Nanopore-based sensing is a powerful technique for the detection of diverse organic and inorganic molecules, long-read sequencing of nucleic acids, and single-molecule analyses of enzymatic reactions. Selected from natural sources, protein-based nanopores enable rapid, label-free detection of analytes. Furthermore, these proteins are easy to produce, form pores with defined sizes, and can be easily manipulated with standard molecular biology techniques. The range of possible analytes can be extended by using externally added adapter molecules. Here, we provide an overview of current nanopore applications with a focus on engineering strategies and solutions.

Efficient Lipid Bilayer Formation by Dipping Lipid-Loaded Microperforated Sheet in Aqueous Solution. MICROMACHINES 2021; 12:mi12010053.

Abstract
This paper describes a method for a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) formation using a perforated sheet along with an open chamber. Microscopic observation of the formed membrane showed a typical droplet interface bilayer. We proved that the formed membrane was a BLM based on electrical measurements of the membrane protein α-hemolysin, which produces nanopores in BLMs. Unlike the conventional approach for BLM formation based on the droplet contact method, this method provides aqueous surfaces with no organic solvent coating layer. Hence, this method is suitable for producing BLMs that facilitate the direct addition of chemicals into the aqueous phase.

Abstract
Lipid-bilayer devices have been studied for on-site sensors in the fields of diagnosis, food and environmental monitoring, and safety/security inspection. In this paper, we propose a lipid-bilayer-on-a-cup device for serial sample measurements using a pumpless solution exchange procedure. The device consists of a millimeter-scale cylindrical cup with vertical slits which is designed to steadily hold an aqueous solution and exchange the sample by simply fusing and splitting the solution with an external solution. The slit design was experimentally determined by the capabilities of both the retention and exchange of the solution. Using the optimized slit, a planar lipid bilayer was reconstituted with a nanopore protein at a microaperture allocated to the bottom of the cup, and the device was connected to a portable amplifier. The solution exchangeability was demonstrated by observing the dilution process of a blocker molecule of the nanopore dissolved in the cup. The pumpless solution exchange by the proposed cup-like device presents potential as a lipid-bilayer system for portable sensing applications.

Abstract
Contamination by pesticides in the food chain and the environment is a worldwide problem that needs to be actively monitored to ensure safety. Unfortunately, standard pesticide analysis based on mass spectrometry takes a lot of time, money and effort. Thus, simple, reliable, cost-effective and field applicable methods for pesticide detection have been actively developed. One of the most promising technologies is an aptamer-based biosensor or so-called aptasensor. It utilizes aptamers, short single-stranded DNAs or RNAs, as pesticide recognition elements to integrate with various innovative biosensing technologies for specific and sensitive detection of pesticide residues. Several platforms for aptasensors have been dynamically established, such as colorimetry, fluorometry, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and so forth. Each platform has both advantages and disadvantages depending on the purpose of use and readiness of technology. For example, colorimetric-based aptasensors are more affordable than others because of the simplicity of fabrication and resource requirements. Electrochemical-based aptasensors have mainly shown better sensitivity than others with exceedingly low detection limits. This paper critically reviews the progression of pesticide aptasensors throughout the development process, including the selection, characterization and modification of aptamers, the conceptual frameworks of integrating aptamers and biosensors, the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to end users) criteria of different platforms and the future outlook.

Abstract
The increased use of pesticides across the globe has a major impact on public health. Advanced sensing methods are considered of significant importance to ensure that pesticide use on agricultural products remains within safety limits. This study presents the experimental testing of a hybrid, nanomaterial based gas-sensing array, for the detection of a commercial organophosphate pesticide, towards its integration in a holistic smart-farming tool such as the "gaiasense" system. The sensing array utilizes nanoparticles (NPs) as the conductive layer of the device while four distinctive polymeric layers (superimposed on top of the NP layer) act as the gas-sensitive layer. The sensing array is ultimately called to discern between two gas-analytes: Chloract 48 EC (a chlorpyrifos based insecticide) and Relative Humidity (R.H.) which acts as a reference analyte since is anticipated to be present in real-field conditions. The unique response patterns generated after the exposure of the sensing-array to the two gas-analytes were analysed using a common statistical analysis tool, namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA has validated the ability of the array to detect, quantify as well as to differentiate between R.H. and Chloract. The sensing array being compact, low-cost and highly sensitive (LOD in the order of ppb for chlorpyrifos) can be effectively integrated with pre-existing crop-monitoring solutions such as the gaiasense.

Abstract
In the 90s, the development of a novel single molecule technique based on nanopore sensing emerged. Preliminary improvements were based on the molecular or biological engineering of protein nanopores along with the use of nanotechnologies developed in the context of microelectronics. Since the last decade, the convergence between those two worlds has allowed for biomimetic approaches. In this respect, the combination of nanopores with aptamers, single-stranded oligonucleotides specifically selected towards molecular or cellular targets from an in vitro method, gained a lot of interest with potential applications for the single molecule detection and recognition in various domains like health, environment or security. The recent developments performed by combining nanopores and aptamers are highlighted in this review and some perspectives are drawn.

Abstract
Giant lipid vesicles or liposomes are primarily composed of phospholipids and form a lipid bilayer structurally similar to that of the cell membrane. These vesicles, like living cells, are 5-100 μm in diameter and can be easily observed using an optical microscope. As their biophysical and biochemical properties are similar to those of the cell membrane, they serve as model cell membranes for the investigation of the biophysical or biochemical properties of the lipid bilayer, as well as its dynamics and structure. Investigation of membrane protein functions and enzyme reactions has revealed the presence of soluble or membrane proteins integrated in the giant lipid vesicles. Recent developments in microfluidic technologies and synthetic biology have enabled the development of well-defined artificial cell models with complex reactions based on the giant lipid vesicles. In this review, using microfluidics, the formations of giant lipid vesicles with asymmetric lipid membranes or complex structures have been described. Subsequently, the roles of these biomaterials in the creation of artificial cell models including nanopores, ion channels, and other membrane and soluble proteins have been discussed. Finally, the complex biological functions of giant lipid vesicles reconstituted with various types of biomolecules has been communicated. These complex artificial cell models contribute to the production of minimal cells or protocells for generating valuable or rare biomolecules and communicating between living cells and artificial cell models.

Abstract
Nanopore technology is a promising label-free detection method. However, challenges exist for its further application in sequencing, clinical diagnostics and ultra-sensitive single molecule detection. The development of DNA nanotechnology nonetheless provides possible solutions to current obstacles hindering nanopore sensing technologies. In this review, we summarize recent relevant research contributing to efforts for developing nanopore methods associated with DNA nanotechnology. For example, DNA carriers can capture specific targets at pre-designed sites and escort them from nanopores at suitable speeds, thereby greatly enhancing capability and resolution for the detection of specific target molecules. In addition, DNA origami structures can be constructed to fulfill various design specifications and one-pot assembly reactions, thus serving as functional nanopores. Moreover, based on DNA strand displacement, nanopores can also be utilized to characterize the outputs of DNA computing and to develop programmable smart diagnostic nanodevices. In summary, DNA assembly-based nanopore research can pave the way for the realization of impactful biological detection and diagnostic platforms via single-biomolecule analysis.

Abstract
The olfactory receptor neurons of insects and vertebrates are gated by odorant receptor (OR) proteins of which several members have been shown to exhibit remarkable sensitivity and selectivity towards volatile organic compounds of significant importance in the fields of medicine, agriculture and public health. Insect ORs offer intrinsic amplification where a single binding event is transduced into a measurable ionic current. Consequently, insect ORs have great potential as biorecognition elements in many sensor configurations. However, integrating these sensing components onto electronic transducers for the development of biosensors has been marginal due to several drawbacks, including their lipophilic nature, signal transduction mechanism and the limited number of known cognate receptor-ligand pairs. We review the current state of research in this emerging field and highlight the use of a group of indole-sensitive ORs (indolORs) from unexpected sources for the development of biosensors.

Abstract
This paper proposes a nanopore-based sensor exploiting the solution exchange of a droplet-based lipid bilayer driven by a superabsorbent polymer. Biological nanopores are candidates for use in portable sensors because of their potential to recognize and detect single molecules. One of the current challenges in the development of portable nanopore sensors is the inability to achieve continuous detection. To achieve continuous detection, we have exploited the suction force of a superabsorbent polymer to drive the continuous microfluidic flow required to wash the analyte out of the droplet. The superabsorbent polymer drives the microfluidic flow without electricity, and the developed solution exchange system remains compact. To demonstrate solution exchange in the droplet containing the lipid bilayer, the concentration of heptakis(6-O-sulfo)-β-cyclodextrin was monitored in a time-dependent manner using α-hemolysin nanopores. A reduction in the concentration, attributable to solution exchange, was successfully observed. We believe that the proposed system will increase the portability and usability of nanopore sensors.

Abstract
This review highlights recent development of biosensors that use the functions of membrane proteins. Membrane proteins are essential components of biological membranes and have a central role in detection of various environmental stimuli such as olfaction and gustation. A number of studies have attempted for development of biosensors using the sensing property of these membrane proteins. Their specificity to target molecules is particularly attractive as it is significantly superior to that of traditional human-made sensors. In this review, we classified the membrane protein-based biosensors into two platforms: the lipid bilayer-based platform and the cell-based platform. On lipid bilayer platforms, the membrane proteins are embedded in a lipid bilayer that bridges between the protein and a sensor device. On cell-based platforms, the membrane proteins are expressed in a cultured cell, which is then integrated in a sensor device. For both platforms we introduce the fundamental information and the recent progress in the development of the biosensors, and remark on the outlook for practical biosensing applications.

Abstract
This paper describes an odorant sensor based on mosquito olfactory receptors (ORs) that is sensitive to the volatile organic compound octenol. The ORs and OR coreceptors were reconstructed in the lipid bilayer membrane in a chamber device equipped with electrodes. Using this odorant sensor, we obtained ion current changes caused by specific OR responses to octenol. We installed the odorant sensor into a mobile robot and succeeded in the demonstration of coupling octenol gas detection and robot actuation. We believe that this biohybrid odorant sensing system will be a key technology for future artificial olfaction.

Abstract
Pesticide contamination has become one of the most serious problems of public health in the world, due to their wide application in agriculture industry to guarantee the crop yield and quality. The detection of pesticide residues plays an important role in food safety management and environment protection. However, the conventional detection methodologies cannot realize highly sensitive, selective and on-site detection, which limits their applications. Aptamers are short single-stranded oligonucleotides (RNA or DNA) selected by SELEX method, which can selectively bind to their targets with high affinity. Compared with the commonly used antibodies or enzymes in designing biosensors, aptamers exhibit better stability, low molecular weight, easy modification and low cost, and were regarded as excellent candidates for developing aptasensors for pesticide detection. In this review, application of aptamers for pesticide detection was reviewed. Firstly, aptamers specifically bind to various pesticides were first summarized. Secondly, the progresses and highlights of developing aptasensors for highly-sensitive and selective detection of pesticide residues were systematically provided. Finally, the present challenges and future perspectives for developing novel highly-effective aptasensor for the detection of pesticide residues were discussed.
