Abstract
Advanced healthcare requires novel technologies capable of real-time sensing to monitor acute and long-term health. The challenge relies on converting a real-time quantitative biological and chemical signal into a desired measurable output. Given the success in detecting glucose and the commercialization of glucometers, electrochemical biosensors continue to be a mainstay of academic and industrial research activities. Despite the wealth of literature on electrochemical biosensors, reports are often specific to a particular application (e.g., pathogens, cancer markers, glucose, etc.), and most fail to convey the underlying strategy and design, and if it is transferable to detection of a different analyte. Here we present a tutorial review for those entering this research area that summarizes the basic electrochemical techniques utilized as well as discusses the designs and optimization strategies employed to improve sensitivity and maximize signal output.

Abstract
Aim: Investigating molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in electrochemical biosensors for thrombin detection, an essential protein biomarker. Comparing different monomers to showcase distinct sensitivity, specificity and stability advantages. Materials & methods: Dopamine, thionine and ethanolamine serve as monomers for MIP synthesis. Electrochemical methods and atomic force microscopy characterize sensor surfaces. Performance is evaluated, emphasizing monomer-specific electrochemical responses. Results: Monomer-specific electrochemical responses highlight dopamine's superior signal change and stability over 30 days. Notably, a low 5 pg/ml limit of detection, a broad linear range (5-200 pg/ml) and enhanced selectivity against interferents are observed. Conclusion: Dopamine-based MIPs show promise for high-performance electrochemical thrombin biosensors, suggesting significant applications in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Environmental protection and food safety are closely related to the healthy development of human society; there is an urgent need for relevant analytical methods to determine environmental pollutants and harmful substances in food. Molecular imprinting-based ratiometric fluorescence (MI-RFL) sensors, constructed by combining molecular imprinting recognition and ratiometric fluorescence detection, possess remarkable advantages such as high selectivity, anti-interference ability, high sensitivity, non-destruction and convenience, and have attracted increasing interest in the field of analytical determination. Herein, recent advances in MI-RFL sensors for environmental and food analysis are reviewed, aiming at new construction strategies and representative determination applications. Firstly, fluorescence sources and possible sensing principles are briefly outlined. Secondly, new imprinting techniques and dual/ternary-emission fluorescence types that improve sensing performances are highlighted. Thirdly, typical analytical applications of MI-RFL sensors in environmental and food samples are summarized. Lastly, the challenges and perspectives of the MI-RFL sensors are proposed, focusing on improving sensitivity/visualization and extending applications.

Abstract
An electrochemical chemosensor for cilostazol (CIL) determination was devised, engineered, and tested. For that, a unique conducting film of the functionalized thiophene-appended carbazole-based polymer, molecularly imprinted with cilostazol (MIP-CIL), was potentiodynamically deposited on a Pt disk electrode by oxidative electropolymerization. Thanks to electro-oxidation potentials lower than that of CIL, the carbazole monomers outperformed pyrrole, thiophene, and phenol monomers, in this electropolymerization. The pre-polymerization complexes quantum-mechanical and molecular dynamics analysis allowed selecting the most appropriate monomer from the three thiophene-appended carbazoles examined. The electrode was then used as a selective CIL chemosensor in the linear dynamic concentration range of 50 to 924 nM with a high apparent imprinting factor, IF = 10.6. The MIP-CIL responded similarly to CIL and CIL's pharmacologically active primary metabolite, 3,4-dehydrocilostazol (dhCIL), thus proving suitable for their determination together. Simulated models of the MIP cavities binding of the CIL, dhCIL, and interferences' molecules allowed predicting chemosensor selectivity. The MIP film sorption of CIL and dhCIL was examined using DPV by peak current data fitting with the Langmuir (L), Freundlich (F), and Langmuir-Freundlich (LF) isotherms. The LF isotherm best described this sorption with the sorption equilibrium constant (KLF) for CIL and dhCIL of 12.75 × 10-6 and 0.23 × 10-6 M, respectively. Moreover, the chemosensor cross-reactivity to common interferences study resulted in the selectivity to cholesterol and dehydroaripiprazole of 1.52 and 8.0, respectively. The chemosensor proved helpful in determining CIL and dhCIL in spiked human plasma with appreciable recovery (99.3-134.1%) and limit of detection (15 nM).

Point-of-Care Diagnostics for Farm Animal Diseases: From Biosensors to Integrated Lab-on-Chip Devices. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12070455.

Abstract
Zoonoses and animal diseases threaten human health and livestock biosecurity and productivity. Currently, laboratory confirmation of animal disease outbreaks requires centralized laboratories and trained personnel; it is expensive and time-consuming, and it often does not coincide with the onset or progress of diseases. Point-of-care (POC) diagnostics are rapid, simple, and cost-effective devices and tests, that can be directly applied on field for the detection of animal pathogens. The development of POC diagnostics for use in human medicine has displayed remarkable progress. Nevertheless, animal POC testing has not yet unfolded its full potential. POC devices and tests for animal diseases face many challenges, such as insufficient validation, simplicity, and portability. Emerging technologies and advanced materials are expected to overcome some of these challenges and could popularize animal POC testing. This review aims to: (i) present the main concepts and formats of POC devices and tests, such as lateral flow assays and lab-on-chip devices; (ii) summarize the mode of operation and recent advances in biosensor and POC devices for the detection of farm animal diseases; (iii) present some of the regulatory aspects of POC commercialization in the EU, USA, and Japan; and (iv) summarize the challenges and future perspectives of animal POC testing.
