Abstract
The early determination of disease-related biomarkers can significantly improve the survival rate of patients. Thus, a series of explorations for new diagnosis technologies, such as optical and electrochemical methods, have been devoted to life and health monitoring. Organic thin-film transistor (OTFT), as a state-of-the-art nano-sensing technology, has attracted significant attention from construction to application owing to the merits of being label-free, low-cost, facial, and rapid detection with multi-parameter responses. Nevertheless, interference from non-specific adsorption is inevitable in complex biological samples such as body liquid and exhaled gas, so the reliability and accuracy of the biosensor need to be further improved while ensuring sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Herein, we overviewed the composition, mechanism, and construction strategies of OTFTs for the practical determination of disease-related biomarkers in both body fluids and exhaled gas. The results show that the realization of bio-inspired applications will come true with the rapid development of high-effective OTFTs and related devices. Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-023-5606-1.

Abstract
Organic field effect transistor (OFET) devices are one of the most popular candidates for the development of biochemical sensors due to their merits of being flexible and highly customizable for low-cost large-area manufacturing. This review describes the key points in constructing an extended-gate type OFET (EGOFET) biochemical sensor with high sensitivity and stability. The structure and working mechanism of OFET biochemical sensors are described firstly, emphasizing the importance of critical material and device engineering to higher biochemical sensing capabilities. Next, printable materials used to construct sensing electrodes (SEs) with high sensitivity and stability are presented with a focus on novel nanomaterials. Then, methods of obtaining printable OFET devices with steep subthreshold swing (SS) for high transconductance efficiency are introduced. Finally, approaches for the integration of OFETs and SEs to form portable biochemical sensor chips are introduced, followed by several demonstrations of sensory systems. This review will provide guidelines for optimizing the design and manufacturing of OFET biochemical sensors and accelerating the movement of OFET biochemical sensors from the laboratory to the marketplace.

Abstract
Blood-based tests have sparked tremendous attention in non-invasive early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a most prevalent neurodegenerative malady worldwide. Despite significant progress in the methodologies for detecting AD core biomarkers such as Aβ42 from serum/plasma, there remains cautious optimism going forward due to its controversial diagnostic value and disease relevance. Here, a graphene electrolyte-gated transistor biosensor is reported for the detection of serum neuron-derived exosomal Aβ42 (NDE-Aβ42), which is an emerging, compelling trove of blood biomarker for AD. Assisted by the antifouling strategy with the dual-blocking process, the noise against complex biological background was considerably reduced, forging an impressive sensitivity gain with a limit of detection of 447 ag/mL. An accurate detection of SH-SY5Y-derived exosomal Aβ42 was also achieved with highly conformable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results. Importantly, the clinical analysis for 27 subjects revealed the immense diagnostic value of NDE-Aβ42, which can outclass that of serum Aβ42. The developed electronic assay demonstrates, for the first time, nanosensor-driven NDE-Aβ42 detection, which enables a reliable discrimination of AD patients from non-AD individuals and even the differential diagnosis between AD and vascular dementia patients, with an accuracy of 100% and a Youden index of 1. This NDE-Aβ42 biosensor defines a robust approach for blood-based confident AD ascertain.

Abstract
As a class I carcinogen, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in foods and feeds accounts for 75 % of the total mycotoxin contamination. In this work, a simple and reliable surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for sensitive and selective detection of AFB1 in peanut samples integrated with dummy molecularly imprinted polymers (DMIPs) is developed. N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and 7-ethoxycoumarin (7-EOC) are chosen as monomer and dummy template, respectively and their ratio was screened through molecular design in both of kinetic and static adsorption views to form the optimal DMIPs. As-prepared dummy molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (DMISPE) could selectively enrich AFB1 from peanut samples. Finally, a liquid-liquid interface self-assembly constructed thioctic acid-decorated AgNPs monolayer film (TA-AgNPs MF) as a SERS-active substrate is employed to determine the amount of AFB1 eluted from DMISPE. SERS assay shows high detection sensitivity for AFB1 in peanut samples with limit of detection of 0.1 μg L-1 and a linear concentration relationship range from 0.1 to 10 μg L-1.

Abstract
This study proposes a chemical sensing approach for the selective detection of tropane alkaloid drugs based on an extended-gate-type organic field-effect transistor (OFET) functionalized with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). From the viewpoint of pharmaceutical chemistry, the development of versatile chemical sensors to determine the enantiomeric purity of over-the-counter (OTC) tropane drugs is important because of their side effects and different pharmacological activities depending on their chirality. To this end, we newly designed an OFET sensor with an MIP (MIP-OFET) as the recognition element for tropane drugs based on a high complementarity among a template (i.e., (S)-hyoscyamine) and functional monomers such as N-isopropylacrylamide and 2,2-dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid. Indeed, the MIP optimized by density functional theory (DFT) has succeeded in the sensitive and selective detection of (S)-hyoscyamine (as low as 1 μM) by the combination of the OFET with highly selective recognition sites in the MIP. The MIP-OFET was further applied to determine the enantiomeric excess (ee) of commercially available (S)-hyoscyamine, and the linearity changes in the threshold voltages of the OFET corresponded to the % ee values of (S)-hyoscyamine. Overall, the validation with tropane alkaloids revealed the potential of the MIP combined with OFET as a chemical sensor chip for OTC drugs in real-world scenarios.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of theoretical and computational approaches in the study and development of molecular imprinting systems. These tools are being used to either improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying the function of molecular imprinting systems or for the design of new systems. Here, we present an overview of the literature describing the application of theoretical and computational techniques to the different stages of the molecular imprinting process (pre-polymerization mixture, polymerization process and ligand-molecularly imprinted polymer rebinding), along with an analysis of trends within and the current status of this aspect of the molecular imprinting field.

Abstract
In recent years, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have shown great potential for advanced protein biochips due to their inherent biocompatibility and high-throughput detectability. However, the development of OFET-based protein biochips is still at an early stage. On the one hand, single-biomarker determination is not sufficient for the diagnosis of cancer; thus, simultaneous monitoring of electrical signals toward multi-biomarkers is widely concerned and explored. On the other hand, an optimized functionalization strategy for efficient protein immobilization is another key to make OFET-based protein biochips accessible with improved detection performance. Herein, a facile functionalization strategy is developed for excellent charge-transport thin films by suppressing the gelation of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based polymer semiconductors with the addition of the glutaraldehyde cross-linking agent. Besides, functional groups are introduced on the device surface for efficient attachment of antibodies as receptors via a condensation reaction, enabling simultaneous determination of α-fetoprotein biomarker and carcinoembryonic antigen biomarker with improved sensitivity and reliability. Therefore, the proposed high-throughput OFET-based protein biochip has the potential to be widely utilized in early liver cancer diagnosis.
