Abstract
Aerogels are unique solid-state materials composed of interconnected 3D solid networks and a large number of air-filled pores. This structure leads to extended structural characteristics as well as physicochemical properties of the nanoscale building blocks to macroscale, and integrated typical features of aerogels, such as high porosity, large surface area, and low density, with specific properties of the various constituents. Due to their combination of excellent properties, aerogels attract much interest in various applications, ranging from medicine to construction. In recent decades, their potential was exploited in many aerogels' materials, either organic, inorganic or hybrid. Considerable research efforts in recent years have been devoted to the development of aerogel-based biosensors and encouraging accomplishments have been achieved. In this work, recent (2018-2023) and ground-breaking advances in the preparation, classification, and physicochemical properties of aerogels and their sensing applications are presented. Different types of biosensors in which aerogels play a fundamental role are being explored and are collected in this manuscript. Moreover, the current challenges and some perspectives for the development of high-performance aerogel-based biosensors are summarized.

Abstract
A sensitive detection of carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) levels may allow for early diagnosis and monitoring the treatment of breast cancer, but this can only be made in routine clinical practice if low-cost immunosensors are available. In this work, we developed a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor capable of rapid detection of CA15-3 with an ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.08 fg mL-1 within a wide linear concentration range from 0.1 fg mL-1 to 1 µg mL-1. The immunosensor had a matrix of a layer-by-layer film of Au nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (Au-rGO) co-electrodeposited on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE). The high sensitivity was achieved by using secondary antibodies (Ab2) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as signal amplifiers, and hydroquinone (HQ) was used as an electron mediator. The immunosensor was selective for CA15-3 in human serum and artificial saliva samples, robust, and stable to permit storage at 4 °C for more than 30 days. With its high performance, the immunosensor may be incorporated into future point-of-care (POC) devices to determine CA15-3 in distinct biological fluids, including in blood and saliva samples.

Abstract
Carbon based aerogels are special solid-state materials comprised of interconnected networks of 3D nanostructures with high amount of air-filled nanoporous. They expand the structural properties along with physicochemical characteristics of nanoscale construction blocks to macroscale, and incorporate distinctive attributes of aerogels, like large surface area, high porosity, and low density, with particular features of the different constituents. These features impart aerogels with rapid response signal, high selectivity, and ultra-sensitivity for sensing diverse targets in biomedical media. This has prompted researchers to develop a variety of aerogel-based sensors with encouraging achievements. Hence, this work outlines sensing applications of aerogel-based sensors with a comprehensive overview on the carbon aerogel hybrid materials and their analytical performances. Authors tried to list advantages and limitations of the developed approach and introduced more potent research for possible devices designing. We also point out some challenges and future perspectives related to the improvement of high-efficiency aerogel-based sensors.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Early stage diagnosis and treatment of this cancer are crucial to patients' survival. In addition, it is important to avoid severe side effects during the process of conventional treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy) and increase the patients' quality of life. Over the past decade, nanomaterials of all kinds have shown excellent prospects in different aspects of oncology. Among them, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are unique due to their physical and chemical properties. The functional variability of 2D nanomaterials stems from their large specific surface area as well as the diversity of composition, electronic configurations, interlayer forces, surface functionalities, and charges. In this review, the current status of 2D nanomaterials in breast cancer diagnosis and therapy is reviewed. In this respect, sensing of the tumor biomarkers, imaging, therapy, and theranostics are discussed. The ever-growing 2D nanomaterials are building blocks for the development of a myriad of nanotheranostics. Accordingly, there is the possibility to explore yet novel properties, biological effects, and oncological applications.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensor based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite was designed in a simple way for the ultrasensitive detection of tumor makers (alpha-fetoprotein, AFP as a model). PHEMA with excellent biocompatibility, provides a large number of sites for connecting signal molecules. After modification with signal molecules, the functional PHEMA significantly improved the sensitivity of electrochemical detection. In order to immobilize antibodies, GO was introduced and used to construct a nanocomposite as a substrate. The designed AFP immunosensor showed favorable selectivity and excellent stability. Meanwhile, it has a low detection limit of 0.403 pg mL-1. Furthermore, the immunosensor was used to detect target AFP in human serum, demonstrating the feasibility of clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Aerogels are one of the most interesting materials of the 21st century owing to their high porosity, low density, and large available surface area. Historically, aerogels have been used for highly efficient insulation and niche applications, such as interstellar particle capture. Recently, aerogels have made their way into the composite universe. By coupling nanomaterial with a variety of matrix materials, lightweight, high-performance composite aerogels have been developed for applications ranging from lithium-ion batteries to tissue engineering materials. In this paper, the current status of aerogel composites based on nanomaterials is reviewed and their application in environmental remediation, energy storage, controlled drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing are discussed.

Abstract
At the onset of cancer, specific biomarkers get elevated or modified in body fluids or tissues. Early diagnosis of these biomarkers can greatly improve the survival rate or facilitate effective treatment with different modalities. Potential nanomaterial-based biosensing and bioimaging are the main techniques in nanodiagnostics because of their ultra-high selectivity and sensitivity. Emerging graphene, including two dimensional (2D) graphene films, three dimensional (3D) graphene architectures and graphene hybrids (GHs) nanostructures, are attracting increasing interests in the field of biosensing and bioimaging. Due to their remarkable optical, electronic, and thermal properties; chemical and mechanical stability; large surface area; and good biocompatibility, graphene-based nanomaterials are applicable alternatives as versatile platforms to detect biomarkers at the early stage of cancer. Moreover, currently, extensive applications of graphene-based biosensing and bioimaging has resulted in promising prospects in cancer diagnosis. We also hope this review will provide critical insights to inspire more exciting researches to address the current remaining problems in this field.
