Abstract
Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is released from the body in response to stress. Although a moderate level of cortisol secretion can help the body maintain homeostasis, excessive secretion can cause various diseases, such as depression and anxiety. Conventional methods for cortisol measurement undergo procedures that limit continuous monitoring, typically collecting samples of bodily fluids, followed by separate analysis in a laboratory setting that takes several hours. Thus, recent studies demonstrate wearable, miniaturized sensors integrated with electronic modules that enable wireless real-time analysis. Here, the primary focus is on wearable and implantable electronic devices that continuously measure cortisol concentration. Diverse types of cortisol-sensing techniques, such as antibody-, DNA-aptamer-, and molecularly imprinted polymer-based sensors, as well as wearable and implantable devices that aim to continuously monitor cortisol in a minimally invasive fashion are discussed. In addition to the cortisol monitors that directly measure stress levels, other schemes that indirectly measure stress, such as electrophysiological signals and sweat are also summarized. Finally, the challenges and future directions in stress monitoring and management electronics are reviewed.

Su Y, Liu G, Hou H, Peng Y, Wang J. Development of a Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Microsphere-Based Signal Amplified Semi-Homogeneous Method for Multidetection of Five Progestins in Milk. Foods 2023; 12:2818. [PMID: 37569089 PMCID: PMC10417076 DOI: 10.3390/foods12152818] [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: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The residues of progestins in milk are significant risk factors for teenage acne and may cause hormone-dependent cancers in consumers, so the determination of these residues in milk is very important. However, an immunoassay or immunoassay-like method capable of determining multiple progestins in milk has not been reported so far. The present study, for the first time, synthesized a type of magnetic molecularly imprinted microsphere that was capable of simultaneously recognizing five progestins. At the same time, an enzyme labeled conjugate was synthesized by coupling progesterone 3-(o-carboxymethyl)oxime with streptavidinated horseradish peroxidase. The above two reagents were used to develop a semi-homogeneous method for the simultaneous detection of the residues of the five progestins in milk. During the experiments, biotinylated horseradish peroxidase was used to amplify the signal, so the sensitivity to the five drugs (limits of detection 0.04-0.1 pg/mL) was increased 44-75-fold. In addition, the magnetic molecularly imprinted microsphere could be regenerated four times by using simple elution. Through general comparison of its detection spectrum, sensitivity, simplicity, and reusability, the present method exhibited better performance than the previous immunoassays for the detection of progestins, and so it could be used as a routine tool for the screening of progestins residues in milk.

Thiourea derivatives acting as functional monomers of As(Ш) molecular imprinted polymers: A theoretical and experimental study on binding mechanisms. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 430:128508. [PMID: 35739686 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Thiourea derivatives are expected to be potential monomers of As(Ш) molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) which are used to specifically recognize As(Ш). However, the specific recognition and binding mechanisms between template and monomers are unclear, which limits the practical applications of MIPs in As(Ш)detection. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental methods were jointly applied to explore the binding interactions between H3AsO3 and thiourea derivatives and environmental factors influences, aiming to find out the best monomer and optimal preparation conditions for H3AsO3 MIPs. Among five monomer candidates, (2, 6-difluorophenyl) thiourea (FT) was calculated to be the most potential one, while allyl thiourea (AT) was the second choice. Configurations of the most stable binding complexes were found out. The optimal solvent was found to be toluene and the bindings were more favorable at pH 7.5 in aqueous solution. Besides, EGDMA was proved as the best cross-linker with the optimal ratio of template: monomer: cross-linker= 2:3:20. Moreover, the binding interactions were identified to be hydrogen bonds, and the non-covalent nature was revealed. These findings provide references for efficient design and preparation of good-performance H3AsO3 MIPs, which can be used to detect and remove As(Ш) from environment.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) have shown their potential as artificial and selective receptors for environmental monitoring. These materials can be tailor-made to achieve a specific binding event with a template through a chosen mechanism. They are capable of emulating the recognition capacity of biological receptors with superior stability and versatility of integration in sensing platforms. Commonly, these polymers are produced by traditional free radical bulk polymerization (FRP) which may not be the most suitable for enhancing the intended properties due to the poor imprinting performance. To improve the imprinting technique and the polymer capabilities, controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP) has been used to overcome the main drawbacks of FRP. Combining CRP techniques such as RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer) with MIP has achieved higher selectivity, sensitivity, and sorption capacity of these polymers when implemented as the transductor element in sensors. The present work focuses on RAFT-MIP design and synthesis strategies to enhance the binding affinities and their implementation in environmental contaminant sensing applications.

Abstract
In recent times, graphene and its derivatives have turned out to be emerging nanomaterials as transducers to promote electron transport in the field of biosensing using electrochemical techniques. In electrochemical biosensing strategies, key factors such as signal amplification, stability, and sensitivity are necessary for attaining improved sensor performance. In the present work, we synthesized magnetic nanocomposites of graphene oxide and employed them as an electrode material for the loading of bio receptors. The increased surface area with high electric conductance enhanced the sensor's response. The immobilization of progesterone (PGN) antibodies on the modified electrode-sensing surface led to a hindered electron transport that decreased the current response. The developed electrochemical immunosensor assembled successfully in a stepwise process using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) studies along with the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. The current response decreased linearly with the increased progesterone (PGN) concentration range of 0.01 pM-1000 nM with excellent detection limits of 0.15 pM (DPV) and 0.17 pM (CV) under optimal experimental conditions. The label-free electrochemical immunosensor has shown a promising platform for rapid and direct analysis of PGN due to its high sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and repeatability in water samples.

Abstract
Optical sensing, taking advantage of the variety of available optical structures, is a rapidly expanding area. Over recent years, whispering gallery mode resonators, photonic crystals, optical waveguides, optical fibers and surface plasmon resonance have been exploited to devise different optical sensing configurations. In the present review, we report on the state of the art of optical sensing devices based on the aforementioned optical structures and on synthetic receptors prepared by means of the molecular imprinting technology. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are polymeric receptors, cheap and robust, with high affinity and selectivity, prepared by a template assisted synthesis. The state of the art of the MIP functionalized optical structures is critically discussed, highlighting the key progresses that enabled the achievement of improved sensing performances, the merits and the limits both in MIP synthetic strategies and in MIP coupling.

Abstract
Understanding the fundamentals of natural design, structure, and function has pushed the limits of current knowledge and has enabled us to transfer knowledge from the bench to the market as a product. In particular, biomimicry―one of the crucial strategies in this respect―has allowed researchers to tackle major challenges in the disciplines of engineering, biology, physics, materials science, and medicine. It has an enormous impact on these fields with pivotal applications, which are not limited to the applications of biocompatible tooth implants, programmable drug delivery systems, biocompatible tissue scaffolds, organ-on-a-chip systems, wearable platforms, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and smart biosensors. Among them, MIPs provide a versatile strategy to imitate the procedure of molecular recognition precisely, creating structural fingerprint replicas of molecules for biorecognition studies. Owing to their affordability, easy-to-fabricate/use features, stability, specificity, and multiplexing capabilities, host-guest recognition systems have largely benefitted from the MIP strategy. This review article is structured with four major points: (i) determining the requirement of biomimetic systems and denoting multiple examples in this manner; (ii) introducing the molecular imprinting method and reviewing recent literature to elaborate the power and impact of MIPs on a variety of scientific and industrial fields; (iii) exemplifying the MIP-integrated systems, i.e., chromatographic systems, lab-on-a-chip systems, and sensor systems; and (iv) closing remarks.
