Abstract
Graphene, with its outstanding mechanical, electrical, and biocompatible properties, stands out as an emerging nanomaterial for healthcare applications, especially in building electroanalytical biodevices. With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and infectious diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for point-of-care testing and remote patient monitoring has never been greater. Owing to their portability, ease of manufacturing, scalability, and rapid and sensitive response, electroanalytical devices excel in these settings for improved healthcare accessibility, especially in resource-limited settings. The development of different synthesis methods yielding large-scale graphene and its derivatives with controllable properties, compatible with device manufacturing - from lithography to various printing methods - and tunable electrical, chemical, and electrochemical properties make it an attractive candidate for electroanalytical devices. This review article sheds light on how graphene-based devices can be transformative in addressing pressing healthcare needs, ranging from the fundamental understanding of biology in in vivo and ex vivo studies to early disease detection and management using in vitro assays and wearable devices. In particular, the article provides a special focus on (i) synthesis and functionalization techniques, emphasizing their suitability for scalable integration into devices, (ii) various transduction methods to design diverse electroanalytical device architectures, (iii) a myriad of applications using devices based on graphene, its derivatives, and hybrids with other nanomaterials, and (iv) emerging technologies at the intersection of device engineering and advanced data analytics. Finally, some of the major hurdles that graphene biodevices face for translation into clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Low-cost, rapid, and easy-to-use biosensors for various cancer biomarkers are of utmost importance in detecting cancer biomarkers for early-stage metastasis control and efficient diagnosis. The molecular complexity of cancer biomarkers is overwhelming, thus, the repeatability and reproducibility of measurements by biosensors are critical factors. Electrochemical biosensors are attractive alternatives in cancer diagnosis due to their low cost, simple operation, and promising analytical figures of merit. Recently graphene-derived nanostructures have been used extensively for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors because of their unique physicochemical properties, including the high electrical conductivity, adsorption capacity, low cost and ease of mass production, presence of oxygen-containing functional groups that facilitate the bioreceptor immobilization, increased flexibility and mechanical strength, low cellular toxicity. Indeed, these properties make them advantageous compared to other alternatives. However, some drawbacks must be overcome to extend their use, such as poor and uncontrollable deposition on the substrate due to the low dispersity of some graphene materials and irreproducibility of the results because of the differences in various batches of the produced graphene materials. This review has documented the most recently developed strategies for electrochemical sensor fabrication. It differs in the categorization method compared to published works to draw greater attention to the wide opportunities of graphene nanomaterials for biological applications. Limitations and future scopes are discussed to advance the integration of novel technologies such as artificial intelligence, the internet of medical things, and triboelectric nanogenerators to eventually increase efficacy and efficiency.

Abstract
There is a significant need for fast, cost-effective, and highly sensitive protein target detection, particularly in the fields of food, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. The integration of high-affinity aptamers with metal-based nanomaterials has played a crucial role in advancing the development of innovative aptasensors tailored for the precise detection of specific proteins. Aptamers offer several advantages over commonly used molecular recognition methods, such as antibodies. Recently, a variety of metal-based aptasensors have been established. These metallic nanomaterials encompass noble metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, metal-carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots, graphene-conjugated metallic nanostructures, as well as their nanocomposites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and MXenes. In general, these materials provide enhanced sensitivity through signal amplification and transduction mechanisms. This review primarily focuses on the advancement of aptasensors based on metallic materials for the highly sensitive detection of protein targets, including enzymes and growth factors. Additionally, it sheds light on the challenges encountered in this field and outlines future prospects. We firmly believe that this review will offer a comprehensive overview and fresh insights into metallic nanomaterials-based aptasensors and their capabilities, paving the way for the development of innovative point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices.

Abstract
Electron transfer flavoprotein subunit beta (ETFB) of Leptospira interrogans is a biomarker for diagnosing leptospiral infection. Thus, the ETFB-specific nuclease-resistant RNA aptamer ETFB3-63 was developed and used in an electrochemical aptasensor to assay ETFB. Although the majority of reported biosensors detect various genes and antibodies of L. interrogans, this is the first attempt to construct an electrochemical biosensor to detect ETFB protein for the diagnosis of leptospiral infection. The ETFB protein can be detected without any extraction phase. In this assay, a single-stranded DNA probe complementary to the ETFB3-63 sequence was immobilized on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The aptamer was then incubated and hybridized with the antisense probe on the SPCE. In the presence of ETFB, the aptamer dissociates from the aptamer/probe complex on the SPCE to bind with the protein. Methylene blue was then added to intercalate with the remaining hybridized aptamers, and its signal was measured using differential pulse voltammetry. The signal arising from the intercalated methylene blue decreased with increasing concentration of ETFB, showing a linear response in the range of 50-500 nM of ETFB and 10 to 109 leptospira cells per mL, respectively. The aptasensor signal was also specific to L. interrogans but not to 12 related bacteria tested. In addition, the aptasensor showed similar performance in detecting ETFB spiked in human serum to that in buffer, indicating that proteins in the serum do not interfere with the assay. Therefore, this assay has great potential to develop into a point-of-care electrochemical device that is accurate, cost-effective, and user-friendly for leptospirosis diagnosis.

Abstract
Proteolytic enzymes are one of the important biomarkers that enable the early diagnosis of several diseases, such as cancers. A specific proteolytic enzyme selectively degrades a certain sequence of a polypeptide. Therefore, a particular proteolytic enzyme can be selectively quantified by changing detectable signals causing degradation of the peptide chain. In addition, by combining polypeptides with various functional nanomaterials, proteolytic enzymes can be measured more sensitively and rapidly. In this paper, proteolytic enzymes that can be measured using a polypeptide degradation method are reviewed and recently studied functional nanomaterials-based proteolytic biosensors are discussed. We anticipate that the proteolytic nanobiosensors addressed in this review will provide valuable information on physiological changes from a cellular level for individual and early diagnosis.

This review shows the recent advances, properties, and potentialities of GDMs for developing robust biosensors. We show the main electrochemical and optical-sensing methods based on GDMs, as well as their design and manufacture in order to integrate them into robust, wearable, remote, and smart biosensors devices. We also describe the current application of such methods and technologies for the biosensing of chronic disease biomarkers. We also describe the current application of such methods and technologies for the biosensing of chronic disease biomarkers with improved sensitivity, reaching limits of detection from the nano to atto range concentration.

Abstract
Abstract The need for biosensors has evolved in the detection of molecules, diseases, and pollution from various sources. This requirement has headed to the development of accurate and powerful equipment for analysis using biological sensing component as a biosensor. Biosensors have the advantage of rapid detection that can beat the conventional methods for the detection of the same molecules. Bio-chemiluminescence-based sensors are very sensitive during use in biological immune assay systems. Optical biosensors are emerging with time as they have the advantage that they act with a change in the refractive index. Carbon nanotube-based sensors are another area that has an important role in the biosensor field. Bioluminescence gives much higher quantum yields than classical chemiluminescence. Electro-generated bioluminescence has the advantage of miniature size and can produce a high signal-to-noise ratio and the controlled emission. Recent advances in biological techniques and instrumentation involving fluorescence tag to nanomaterials have increased the sensitivity limit of biosensors. Integrated approaches provided a better perspective for developing specific and sensitive biosensors with high regenerative potentials. This paper mainly focuses on sensors that are important for the detection of multiple molecules related to clinical and environmental applications. Key points • The review focusses on the applications of luminescence-based, surface plasmon resonance-based, carbon nanotube-based, and graphene-based biosensors • Potential clinical, environmental, agricultural, and food industry applications/uses of biosensors have been critically reviewed • The current limitations in this field are discussed, as well as the prospects for future advancement

Abstract
Graphene is a one-atom-thick carbon compound, which holds promises for detecting cancer biomarkers along with its derivatives. The atom-wide graphene layer is ideal for cancer biomarker detection due to its unique physicochemical properties like increased electrical and thermal conductivity, optical transparency, and enhanced chemical and mechanical strength. The scientific aim of any biosensor is to create a smaller and portable point of care device for easy and early cancer detection; graphene is able to live up to that. Apart from tumour detection, graphene-based biosensors can diagnose many diseases, their biomarkers, and pathogens. Many existing remarkable pieces of research have proven the candidacy of nanoparticles in most cancer biomarkers detection. This article discusses the effectiveness of graphene-based biosensors in different cancer biomarker detection. This article provides a detailed review of graphene and its derivatives that can be used to detect cancer biomarkers with high specificity, sensitivity, and selectivity. We have highlighted the synthesis procedures of graphene and its products and also discussed their significant properties. Furthermore, we provided a detailed overview of the recent studies on cancer biomarker detection using graphene-based biosensors. The different paths to create and modify graphene surfaces for sensory applications have also been highlighted in each section. Finally, we concluded the review by discussing the existing challenges of these biosensors and also highlighted the steps that can be taken to overcome them.

Abstract
The combination of 2D materials and optical biosensors has become a hot research topic in recent years. Graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, and other 2D materials (metal oxides and degenerate semiconductors) have unique optical properties and play a unique role in the detection of different biomolecules. Through the modification of 2D materials, optical biosensor has the advantages that traditional sensors (such as electrical sensing) do not have, and the sensitivity and detection limit are greatly improved. Here, optical biosensors based on different 2D materials are reviewed. First, various detection methods of biomolecules, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and evanescent wave and properties, preparation and integration strategies of 2D material, are introduced in detail. Second, various biosensors based on 2D materials are summarized. Furthermore, the applications of these optical biosensors in biological imaging, food safety, pollution prevention/control, and biological medicine are discussed. Finally, the future development of optical biosensors is prospected. It is believed that with their in-depth research in the laboratory, optical biosensors will gradually become commercialized and improve people's quality of life in many aspects.

Abstract
Change in the level of human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a major element in the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Most of the methodologies are currently restricted to their application in routine clinical screening due to the scarcity of adequate screening tools, false reading, long assay time, and cost. Innovative techniques and the integration of knowledge from a variety of domains, such as materials science and engineering, are needed to provide sustainable solutions. The convergence of precision point-of-care (POC) diagnostic techniques, which allow patients to respond in real time to changes in PSA levels, provides promising possibilities for quantitative and quantitative detection of PSA. This solution could be interesting and relevant for use in PCa diagnosis at the POC. The approaches enable low-cost real-time detection and are simple to integrate into user-friendly sensor devices. This review focuses on the investigations, prospects, and challenges associated with integrating engineering sciences with cancer biology to develop nanotechnology-based tools for PCa diagnosis. This article intends to encourage the development of new nanomaterials to construct high-performance POC devices for PCa detection. Finally, the review concludes with closing remarks and a perspective forecast.

Abstract
Biomarkers play an important role in disease diagnosis and prognosis, which demand reliable, sensitive, rapid, and economic detection platform to conduct simultaneous multiple-biomarkers analysis in serum or body liquid. Here, we developed a universal biosensing platform through integrating the advantages of unique nanostructure and biochemistry properties of graphene oxide quantum dots and high throughput and low cost of microfluidic chip for reliable and simultaneous detection of multiple cancer antigen and antibody biomarkers. The performance of the proposed biosensing platform is validated through the representative cancer biomarkers including carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), α-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) and carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153). It has a large linear quantification detection regime of 5-6 orders of magnitude and an ultralow detection limit of 1 pg/mL or 0.01 U/mL. Moreover, the proposed biosensing chip is capable of conducting 5-20 kinds of biomarkers from at least 60 persons simultaneously in 40 min with only 2 μL serum of each patient, which essentially reduces the detection cost and time to at least 1/60 of current popular methods. Clinical breast cancer and healthy samples detection results indicated its promising perspective in practical applications including cancer early diagnosis, prognosis, and disease pathogenesis study.

Abstract
The combination of peptides and graphene-derived materials provides a new way to prepare graphene-based nanocomposites with unique structures, properties, and functions. The modification of graphene with different polypeptides not only improves the biocompatibility and biological recognition ability of graphene-based materials, but also greatly expands their application fields. In this work, we summarize different interactions between graphene and polypeptides, and the synthesis methods of novel functional graphene-polypeptide nanocomposites based on the interactions in recent years (from 2016 to present). In addition, the potential applications of graphene-peptide hybrid nanocomposites in biomedicine, tissue engineering, biosensors, environmental science engineering, optoelectronic materials, and energy storage are introduced. We hope that this review will help readers to understand the methods and mechanisms of the modification of graphene surfaces with biomolecules, and promote readers to understand the synthesis and applications of graphene-based nanocomposites. This work may provide hints and references for the development of peptide sequence design, and biomedical and functional materials, and will help in designing and synthesizing novel graphene-based nanomaterials with unique properties and suitable for various applications in the future.

Abstract
The interaction of biomolecules, such as proteins, with biomaterial surfaces is key to disease diagnostic and therapeutic development applications. There is a significant need for rapid, low-cost, field-serviceable instruments to monitor such interactions, where open-source tools can help to improve the accessibility to disease screening instruments especially in low- and middle-income countries. We have developed and evaluated a low-cost integrated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) instrument for biomolecular analysis based on an open-source QCM device. The custom QCM instrument was equipped with a custom-made electronically controlled isothermal chamber with a closed-loop control routine. A thermal coefficient of 5.6 ppm/°C was obtained from a series of evaluations of the implemented control. Additionally, a custom-designed data acquisition system and a mathematical processing and analysis tool is implemented. The quartz crystal detection chips used here incorporate gold and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated surfaces. We demonstrate the system capability to monitor and record the biomolecular interaction between a typical protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) and these two substrates. This instrument was compared to a commercial QCM, demonstrating good correspondence between the computed mass adsorption density responses using the Sauerbrey model. For both Au and rGO surfaces, the custom QCM significantly outperforms the commercial system in limit of detection, sensitivity and linear range. The instrument presented here has the potential to serve as a ubiquitous bioelectronic tool for point-of-care disease screening and rapid therapeutics development.

Abstract
Improved outcomes for many types of cancer achieved during recent years is due, among other factors, to the earlier detection of tumours and the greater availability of screening tests. With this, non-invasive, fast and accurate diagnostic devices for cancer diagnosis strongly improve the quality of healthcare by delivering screening results in the most cost-effective and safe way. Biosensors for cancer diagnostics exploiting aptamers offer several important advantages over traditional antibodies-based assays, such as the in-vitro aptamer production, their inexpensive and easy chemical synthesis and modification, and excellent thermal stability. On the other hand, electrochemical biosensing approaches allow sensitive, accurate and inexpensive way of sensing, due to the rapid detection with lower costs, smaller equipment size and lower power requirements. This review presents an up-to-date assessment of the recent design strategies and analytical performance of the electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors for cancer diagnosis and their future perspectives in cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
Graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) are emerging as bioanalytical sensors, in which their responsive electrical conductance is used to perform quantitative analyses of biologically-relevant molecules such as DNA, proteins, ions and small molecules. This review provides a detailed evaluation of reported approaches in the design, operation and performance assessment of GFET biosensors. We first dissect key design elements of these devices, along with most common approaches for their fabrication. We compare possible modes of operation of GFETs as sensors, including transfer curves, output curves and time series as well as their integration in real-time or a posteriori protocols. Finally, we review performance metrics reported for the detection and quantification of bioanalytes, and discuss limitations and best practices to optimize the use of GFETs as bioanalytical sensors.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensor for highly sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers has been developed based on the combination of a sensing platform of polydopamine modified porous graphene and a nonenzymatic label of metal-organic framework (MOF) conjugated secondary antibody. This approach achieves a wide range of linear response from 0.1 to 10 ng/mL, low detection limit of 0.025 ng/mL (at a signal to noise ratio of 3), good reproducibility and selectivity for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) as a model analyte. The high performance of the immunosensor is attributed to the high surface area from porous graphene and the strong adhesion of polydopamine, allowing a high load of the primary antibody of PSA, as well as the highly electrocatalytic activity of the Cu3(BTC)2 (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) MOF toward H2O2 to provide greatly amplified sensitivity. In this respect, the MOF-based nonenzymatic label shows promising application for the point-of-care detection of different cancer biomarkers in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
The two dimensional, honeycomb structured, single carbon layered graphene has extensively been used in the field of sensor detection due to its unique physicochemical properties. These properties such as excellent electrical conductivity, high electron mobility, tunable optical properties, room temperature quantum Hall effect, large surface to volume ratio, high mechanical strength, and ease of functionalization, make it an ideal nanomaterial for sensor development. This has enabled the fabrication of a large variety of highly sensitive sensors which include colorimetric, electrochemical, potentiometric, fluorescence, etc. based sensors. These sensors in conjugation with graphene or its derivatives such as graphene quantum dots, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, etc. show highly desirable properties such as high sensitivity (detecting minute amounts of target analyte), specificity (no cross reactivity while detecting the target analyte), rapid results, low cost, extended storage shelf life and robustness (stability), and easy-to-use capabilities (user-friendly). This book chapter gives a detailed overview of all the advances made in the development and fabrication of novel graphene based sensors and their application in point of care (PoC) detection of various diseases as well as health monitoring devices. The different sensors, their methods of fabrication, their sensitivity and the analytes and biomolecules used have been discussed in detail and compared.
