Abstract
Point-of-care (POC) devices have become rising stars in the biosensing field, aiming at prognosis and diagnosis of diseases with a positive impact on the patient but also on healthcare and social care systems. Putting the patient at the center of interest requires the implementation of noninvasive technologies for collecting biofluids and the development of wearable platforms with integrated artificial intelligence-based tools for improved analytical accuracy and wireless readout technologies. Many electrical and electrochemical transducer technologies have been proposed for POC-based sensing, but several necessitate further development before being widely deployable. This review focuses on recent innovations in electrochemical and electrical biosensors and their growth opportunities for nanotechnology-driven multidisciplinary approaches. With a focus on analytical aspects to pave the way for future electrical/electrochemical diagnostics tests, current limitations and drawbacks as well as directions for future developments are highlighted.

Abstract
Monitoring methods for beta-lactam (β-lactam) antibiotics, especially for ampicillin (AMP), with simple operation and sensitivity for realtime applications are highly required. To address this need, antioxidant carbon dots (E-CDs) with excellent fluorescence properties were synthesized using citric acid and ethylenediamine as raw materials. With a quantum yield of 81.97%, E-CDs exhibited a specific and sensitive response to ˙OH. The quenched fluorescence of E-CDs by the formed ˙OH could be restored through a competition reaction with AMP. Leveraging the signal-quenching strategy of E-CDs, H2O2, and Fe2+, a fluorescence signal-on strategy was developed using AMP as the fluorescence recovery agent for the sensitive detection of AMP. The mechanism of the quenching of E-CDs by ˙OH was attributed to the damaging effect of ˙OH on E-CDs. Under optimal conditions, the detection limit of this method for AMP was determined to be 0.38 μg mL-1. This method was successful in drug quality control and the spiked detection of AMP in lake water, milk, and sea cucumber, presenting a viable option for convenient and rapid antibiotic monitoring methods.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are one of the best choices for the sensing of biomarkers due to their high performance, low cost, miniaturization, and wide applicability. However, like for any sensing process, electrode fouling affects severely the analytical performance of the sensor, such as sensitivity, detection limit, reproducibility, and overall reliability. Fouling arises from nonspecific adsorption of different components present in the sensing medium and in particular in complex biofluids such as full blood. The complex composition of blood where biomarkers are present at extremely low concentrations compared to the rest of the fluid composition makes electrochemical biosensing challenging. Direct biomarker analysis within full blood samples remains however central for the future development in electrochemical-based diagnostics. Herein, we aim to provide short discussion of past and more recent strategies and concepts employed to diminish background noise due to surface fouling and overcome current hurdles for the implementation and commercialisation of electrochemical-based biosensors for medical diagnostics of protein biomarkers in a point of care format.

Abstract
Graphene Derivatives (GDs) have captured the interest and imagination of pharmaceutical scientists. This review exclusively provides pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics information with a particular focus on biopharmaceuticals. GDs can be used as multipurpose pharmaceutical delivery systems due to their ultra-high surface area, flexibility, and fast mobility of charge carriers. Improved effects, targeted delivery to tissues, controlled release profiles, visualization of biodistribution and clearance, and overcoming drug resistance are examples of the benefits of GDs. This review focuses on the application of GDs for the delivery of biopharmaceuticals. Also, the pharmacokinetic properties and the advantage of using GDs in pharmaceutics will be reviewed to achieve a comprehensive understanding about the GDs in pharmaceutical sciences.

Abstract
Nowadays, the concept of drug transmission is an important topic in the field of drug delivery research. Drug delivery is the method or process of administering a pharmaceutical compound to achieve a therapeutic effect in humans or animals. In this study, we report the development of a novel platform for the loading and release of doxorubicin (DOX). It is based on porous reduced graphene oxide (prGO) nanosheets and chitosan (CS) biocompatible polymer, where prGO can be dispersed in chitosan through amide linkages. The loading and release of DOX on the CS-prGO nanocomposite were investigated by voltammetry, FE-SEM, and FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods. We showed that chitosan-modified prGO (CS-prGO) was an extremely efficient matrix. An efficient loading of DOX (86% at pH 7.00, time 3 h and initial concentration of 0.5 mg mL-1) was observed on CS-prGO as compared to the case of prGO due to the presence of the -OH and -NH2 groups of chitosan. At the normal physiological pH of 7.00, approximately 10% of DOX could be released from CS-prGO in a time span of 1 h; however, when exposed to pH 4.00, 25% of DOX was released in 1 h. After 20 h, 18% and 62% of DOX was released at pH 7.00 and 4.00, respectively. This illustrates the major benefits of the developed approach for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are one of the leading causes of disease worldwide. Conventional antibiotics are becoming less efficient, due to antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. Therefore, the development of novel antibacterial materials and advanced treatment strategies are becoming increasingly important. In the present work, we developed a simple and efficient strategy for effective bacterial capture and their subsequent eradication through photothermal killing. The developed device consists of a flexible nanoheater, comprising a Kapton/Au nanoholes substrate, coated with reduced graphene oxide-polyethyleneimine (K/Au NH/rGO-PEI) thin films. The Au NH plasmonic structure was tailored to feature strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region, where most biological matter has limited absorption, while PEI was investigated for its strong binding with bacteria through electrostatic interactions. The K/Au NH/rGO-PEI device was demonstrated to capture and eliminate effectively both planktonic Gram-positive Staphilococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria after 10 min of NIR (980 nm) irradiation and, to destroy and eradicate Staphilococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) biofilms after 30 min irradiation. The technique developed herein is simple and universal with potential applications for eradication of different micro-organisms.

Abstract
The steady increase of antimicrobial resistance of different pathogens requires the development of alternative treatment strategies next to the oral delivery of antibiotics. A photothermally activated platform based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-embedded polymeric nanofiber mats for on-demand release of antibiotics upon irradiation in the near-infrared is fabricated. Cross-linked hydrophilic nanofibers, obtained by electrospinning a mixture of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and rGO, show excellent stability in aqueous media. Importantly, these PAA@ rGO nanofiber mats exhibit controlled photothermal heating upon irradiation at 980 nm. Nanofiber mats are efficiently loaded with antibiotics through simple immersion into corresponding antibiotics solutions. Whereas passive diffusion based release at room temperature is extremely low, photothermal activation results in increased release within few minutes, with release rates tunable through power density of the applied irradiation. The large difference over passive and active release, as well as the controlled turn-on of release allow regulation of the dosage of the antibiotics, as evidenced by the inhibition of planktonic bacteria growth. Treatment of superficial skin infections with the antibiotic-loaded nanofiber mats shows efficient wound healing of the infected site. Facile fabrication and implementation of these photothermally active nanofiber mats makes this novel platform adaptable for on-demand delivery of various therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Materials based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have shown to be amenable to noncovalent functionalization through hydrophobic interactions. The scaffold, however, does not provide sufficient covalent linkage given the low number of reactive carboxyl and alcohol groups typically available on the rGO. The integration of clickable groups, particularly the ones that can undergo efficient conjugation without any metal catalyst, would allow facile functionalization of these materials. This study reports on the noncovalent association of a maleimide-containing catechol (dopa-MAL) surface anchor onto the rGO. Thiol-maleimide chemistry allows thereafter the facile attachment of thiol-containing molecules under ambient metal-free conditions. Although the attachment of glutathione and 6-(ferrocenyl)hexanethiol was used as model thiols, the attachment of a cancer cell targeting cyclic peptide, c(RGDfC), opened the possibility of using the dopa-MAL-modified rGO as a targeted drug delivery system for doxorubicin (DOX). Although free DOX showed to be more effective at killing the human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) over human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), the DOX-loaded rGO/dopa-MAL-c (RGDfC) nanostructure showed an opposite effect being notably more effective at targeting and killing the MDA-MB-231 cells. The effect is enhanced upon laser irradiation for 10 min at 2 W cm-2. The facile fabrication and functionalization to readily obtain a functional material in a modular fashion make this clickable-rGO construct an attractive platform for various applications.
