Abstract
The development of wearable bioelectronic systems is a promising approach for optimal delivery of therapeutic treatments. These systems can provide continuous delivery of ions, charged biomolecules, and an electric field for various medical applications. However, rapid prototyping of wearable bioelectronic systems for controlled delivery of specific treatments with a scalable fabrication process is challenging. We present a wearable bioelectronic system comprised of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) device cast in customizable 3D printed molds and a printed circuit board (PCB), which employs commercially available engineering components and tools throughout design and fabrication. The system, featuring solution-filled reservoirs, embedded electrodes, and hydrogel-filled capillary tubing, is assembled modularly. The PDMS and PCB both contain matching through-holes designed to hold metallic contact posts coated with silver epoxy, allowing for mechanical and electrical integration. This assembly scheme allows us to interchange subsystem components, such as various PCB designs and reservoir solutions. We present three PCB designs: a wired version and two battery-powered versions with and without onboard memory. The wired design uses an external voltage controller for device actuation. The battery-powered PCB design uses a microcontroller unit to enable pre-programmed applied voltages and deep sleep mode to prolong battery run time. Finally, the battery-powered PCB with onboard memory is developed to record delivered currents, which enables us to verify treatment dose delivered. To demonstrate the functionality of the platform, the devices are used to deliver H[Formula: see text] in vivo using mouse models and fluoxetine ex vivo using a simulated wound environment. Immunohistochemistry staining shows an improvement of 35.86% in the M1/M2 ratio of H[Formula: see text]-treated wounds compared with control wounds, indicating the potential of the platform to improve wound healing.

Abstract
We present a PNA microprobe sensing platform to detect trinucleotide repeat mutation by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The microprobe platform discriminated Huntington's disease-associated CAG repeats in cell-derived total RNA with S/N 1 : 3. This sensitive, label-free, and PCR-free detection strategy may be employed in the future to develop biosensing platforms for the detection of a plethora of repeat expansion disorders.

Abstract
DNA interfaces with nano, micro, and macro materials have gained widespread attention for various applications. Such interfaces exhibit distinct functions and properties not only due to the unique properties of interfacing materials but also sequence- and conformation-dependent characteristics of the DNA. Therefore, DNA interfaces with diverse dimensional materials have advanced our understanding of the interaction mechanisms and the properties of such interfaces. The unique interfacial properties of such novel materials have applications in nanotechnology, biophysics, cell biology, biosensing, and bioelectronics. The field is growing rapidly with the frequent emergence of new interfaces carrying remarkable interfacial character. In this review article, we have classified the DNA interfaces into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D categories based on the types of dimensional materials. We review the key efforts made in the last five years and focus on types of interfaces, interfacing mechanisms, and their state-of-the-art applications. This review will draw a general interest because of the diversity in the DNA materials science but also the unique applications that will play a cutting-edge role in biomedical and biosensing research. DNA interfaces with 0–3 dimensional materials through physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms acquire unique interfacial character for novel biomedical applications.![]()

Abstract
Flexible and ultrasensitive biosensing platforms capable of detecting a large number of trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) are crucial for future technology development needed to combat a variety of genetic disorders. For example, trinucleotide CGG repeat expansions in the FMR1 gene can cause Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Current state-of-the-art technologies to detect repeat sequences are expensive, while relying on complicated procedures, and prone to false negatives. We reasoned that two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) surfaces may be useful for label-free electrochemical detection of CGG repeats due to its high affinity for guanine bases. Here, we developed a low-cost and sensitive wax-on-plastic electrochemical sensor using 2D MoS2 ink for the detection of CGG repeats. The ink containing few-layered MoS2 nanosheets was prepared and characterized using optical, electrical, electrochemical, and electron microscopic methods. The devices were characterized by electron microscopic and electrochemical methods. Repetitive CGG DNA was adsorbed on a MoS2 surface in a high cationic strength environment and the electrocatalytic current of the CGG/MoS2 interface was recorded using a soluble Fe(CN)6-3/-4 redox probe by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The dynamic range for the detection of prehybridized duplexes ranged from 1 aM to 100 nM with a 3.0 aM limit of detection. A detection range of 100 fM to 1 nM was recorded for surface hybridization events. Using this method, we were able to observe selectivity of MoS2 for CGG repeats and distinguish nonpathogenic from disease-associated repeat lengths. The detection of CGG repeat sequences on inkjet printable 2D MoS2 surfaces is a forward step toward developing chip-based rapid and label-free sensors for the detection of repeat expansion sequences.

Abstract
Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) sequences introduce sequence-directed flexibility in the genomic makeup of all living species leading to unique non-canonical structure formation. In humans, the expansions of TNR sequences are responsible for almost 24 neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases because their unique structures disrupt cell functions. The biophysical studies of these sequences affect their electrophoretic mobility and spectroscopic signatures. Here, we demonstrate a novel strategy to characterize and discriminate the TNR sequences by monitoring their capillary flow in the absence of an external driving force using wax-on-plastic microchannels. The wax-on-plastic microfluidic system translates the sequence-directed flexibility of TNR into differential flow dynamics. Several variables were used to characterize sequences including concentration, single- vs. double-stranded samples, type of repeat sequence, length of the repeat sequence, presence of mismatches in duplex, and presence of metal ion. All these variables were found to influence the flow velocities of TNR sequences as these factors directly affect the structural flexibility of TNR at the molecular level. An overall trend was observed as the higher flexibility in the TNR structure leads to lower capillary flow. After testing samples derived from relevant cells harboring expanded TNR sequences, it is concluded that this approach may transform into a reagent-free and pump-free biosensing platform to detect microsatellite expansion diseases.

Abstract
Fabrication of inexpensive and flexible electronic and electrochemical sensors is in high demand for a wide range of biochemical and biomedical applications. We explore hand fabrication of CNT modified AgNPs electrodes using wax-on-plastic platforms and their application in electrochemical immunosensing. Wax patterns were printed on polyethylene terephthalate-based substrates to laydown templates for the electrodes. Hand painting was employed to fabricate a silver conductive layer using AgNPs ink applied in the hydrophilic regions of the substrate surrounded by wax. CNT was drop cast on top of the working electrodes to improve their electrochemical signal. The device layers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance of the hand fabricated AgNPs and CNT/AgNPs electrodes was tested using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and amperometry. The electrochemical response of CNT/AgNPs electrodes was relatively faster, higher, and more selective than unmodified AgNPs sensing electrodes. Finally, the hand-painted CNT/AgNPs electrodes were applied to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) by measuring the end-product of immunoassay performed on magnetic particles. The detection limit for CEA was found to be 0.46 ng/mL.
