Abstract
Various analytical technologies have been developed for the study of target-ligand interactions. The combination of these technologies gives pivotal information on the binding mechanism, kinetics, affinity, residence time, and changes in molecular structures. Mass spectrometry (MS) offers structural information, enabling the identification and quantification of target-ligand interactions. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) provides kinetic information on target-ligand interaction in real time. The coupling of MS and SPR complements each other in the studies of target-ligand interactions. Over the last two decades, the capabilities and added values of SPR-MS have been reported. This review summarizes and highlights the benefits, applications, and potential for further research of the SPR-MS approach.

BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:195. [PMID: 38667188 PMCID: PMC11047821 DOI: 10.3390/bios14040195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
SPR biosensors have been extensively used for investigating protein-protein interactions. However, in conventional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, detection is limited by the Brownian-motion-governed diffusion process of sample molecules in the sensor chip, which makes it challenging to detect biomolecule interactions at ultra-low concentrations. Here, we propose a highly sensitive SPR imaging biosensor which exploits the coffee ring effect (CRE) for in situ enrichment of molecules on the sensing surface. In addition, we designed a wavelength modulation system utilizing two LEDs to reduce the system cost and enhance the detection speed. Furthermore, a detection limit of 213 fM is achieved, which amounts to an approximately 365 times improvement compared to traditional SPR biosensors. With further development, we believe that this SPR imaging system with high sensitivity, less sample consumption, and faster detection speed can be readily applied to ultra-low-concentration molecular detection and interaction analysis.

Abstract
Following the discovery of graphene, there has been a surge in exploring other two-dimensional (2D) nanocrystals, including MoS2. Over the past few decades, MoS2-based nanocrystals have shown great potential applications in biosensing, owing to their excellent physico-chemical properties. Unlike graphene, MoS2 shows layer-dependent finite band gaps (∼1.8 eV for a single layer and ∼1.2 for bulk) and relatively strong interaction with the electromagnetic spectrum. The tunability of the size, shape, and intrinsic properties, such as high optical absorption, electron mobility, mechanical strength and large surface area, of MoS2 nanocrystals, make them excellent alternative probe materials for preparing optical, photothermal, and electrical bio/immunosensors. In this review, we will provide insights into the rapid evolutions in bio/immunosensing applications based on MoS2 and its nanohybrids. We emphasized the various synthesis, characterization, and functionalization routes of 2D MoS2 nanosheets/nanoflakes. Finally, we discussed various fabrication techniques and the critical parameters, including the limit of detection (LOD), linear detection range, and sensitivity of the biosensors. In addition, the role of MoS2 in enhancing the performance of biosensors, the limitations associated with current biosensing technologies, future challenges, and clinical implications are addressed. The advantages/disadvantages of each biosensor technique are also summarized. Collectively, we believe that this review will encourage resolute researchers to follow up further with the state-of-the-art MoS2-based biosensing technology.

Abstract
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have emerged as a powerful platform for boosting light-matter interactions because they provide an alternative way of realizing optical resonances with ultrahigh quality factors, accompanied by extreme field confinement. In this work, we realized an optical biosensor by harnessing a quasi-BIC (qBIC) supported by an all-dielectric metasurface with broken symmetry, whose unit cell is composed of a silicon cuboid with two asymmetric air holes. Thanks to the excellent field confinement within the air gap of a metasurface enabled by such a high-Q qBIC, the figure of merit (FOM) of the biosensor is up to 2136.35 RIU-1. Futhermore, we demonstrated that such a high-Q metasurface can push the detection limit to a few virus particles. Our results may find exciting applications in extreme biochemical sensing like COVID-19 with ultralow concentrations.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances in leveraging localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) nanotechnology for sensitive cancer biomarker detection. LSPR arising from noble metal nanoparticles under light excitation enables the enhancement of various optical techniques, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), dark-field microscopy (DFM), photothermal imaging, and photoacoustic imaging. Nanoparticle engineering strategies are discussed to optimize LSPR for maximum signal amplification. SERS utilizes electromagnetic enhancement from plasmonic nanostructures to boost inherently weak Raman signals, enabling single-molecule sensitivity for detecting proteins, nucleic acids, and exosomes. DFM visualizes LSPR nanoparticles based on scattered light color, allowing for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer cells, microRNAs, and proteins. Photothermal imaging employs LSPR nanoparticles as contrast agents that convert light to heat, producing thermal images that highlight cancerous tissues. Photoacoustic imaging detects ultrasonic waves generated by LSPR nanoparticle photothermal expansion for deep-tissue imaging. The multiplexing capabilities of LSPR techniques and integration with microfluidics and point-of-care devices are reviewed. Remaining challenges, such as toxicity, standardization, and clinical sample analysis, are examined. Overall, LSPR nanotechnology shows tremendous potential for advancing cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring through the integration of nanoparticle engineering, optical techniques, and microscale device platforms.

Abstract
Organized two-dimensional polystyrene bead arrays perform ion etching, and protruding nanostructures are created on polystyrene beads due to the shadow effects from the ring beads, leading to nucleus selection and growth in Au nanostructure deposition. Ag nanostructures are prepared via plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCRs), leading to the Ag nanocavity geometry of the honeycomb pattern when the etching time and Ag growth time are tuned. Due to the strong electromagnetic coupling, the Ag honeycomb-shaped nanocavity array works as the SERS substrate with high sensitivity and good repeatability, which is used to detect thiram pesticide residues with a concentration down to 10-9 M.

Fluorescence enhancement of surface plasmon coupled emission by Au nanobipyramids and its modulation effect on multi-wavelength radiation. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1271:341460.

Abstract
Surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE), a novel surface-enhanced fluorescence technique, can generate directional and amplified radiation by the intense interaction between fluorophores and surface plasmons (SPs) of metallic nanofilms. For plasmon-based optical systems, the strong interaction between localized and propagating SPs and "hot spot" structures show great potential to significantly improve the electromagnetic (EM) field and modulate optical properties. Au nanobipyramids (NBPs) with two sharp apexes to enhance and restrict the EM field were introduced through electrostatic adsorption to achieve a mediated fluorescence system, and the emission signal enhancement was realized by factors over 60 compared with the normal SPCE. It has been demonstrated that the intense EM field produced by the NBPs assembly is what triggered the unique enhancement of SPCE by Au NBPs, which effectively overcomes the inherent signal quenching of SPCE for ultrathin sample detection. This remarkable enhanced strategy offers the chance to improve the detection sensitivity for plasmon-based biosensing and detection systems, and expand the range of applications for SPCE in bioimaging with more comprehensive and detailed information acquisition. The enhancement efficiency for various emission wavelengths was investigated in light of the wavelength resolution of SPCE, and it was discovered that enhanced emission for multi-wavelength could be successfully detected through the different emission angles due to the angular displacement caused by wavelength change. Benefit from this, the Au NBP modulated SPCE system was employed for multi-wavelength simultaneous enhancement detection under a single collection angle, which could broaden the application of SPCE in simultaneous sensing and imaging for multi-analytes, and expected to be used for high throughput detection of multi-component analysis.

Abstract
Developing plasmonic biosensors that are low-cost, portable, and relatively simple to operate remains challenging. Herein, a novel metasurface plasmon-etch immunosensor is described, namely a nanozyme-linked immunosorbent surface plasmon resonance biosensor, for the ultrasensitive and specific detection of cancer biomarkers. Gold-silver composite nano cup array metasurface plasmon resonance chip and artificial nanozyme-labeled antibody are used in two-way sandwich analyte detection. Changes in the biosensor's absorption spectrum are measured before and after chip surface etching, which can be applied to immunoassays without requiring separation or amplification. The device achieved a limit of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) detection < 21.74 fM, three orders of magnitude lower than that of commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Additionally, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) are used for quantitative detection to verify the universality of the platform. More importantly, the accuracy of the platform is verified using 60 clinical samples; compared with the hospital results, the three biomarkers achieve high sensitivity (CEA: 95.7%; CA125: 90.9%; AFP: 86.7%) and specificity (CEA: 97.3%; CA125: 93.9%; AFP: 97.8%). Due to its rapidity, ease of use, and high throughput, the platform has the potential for high-throughput rapid detection to facilitate cancer screening or early diagnostic testing in biosensing.

Abstract
Nanoplasmonic biosensors have a huge boost for precision medicine, which allows doctors to better understand diseases at the molecular level and to improve the earlier diagnosis and develop treatment programs. Unlike traditional biosensors, nanoplasmonic biosensors meet the global health industry's need for low-cost, rapid and portable aspects, while offering multiplexing, high sensitivity and real-time detection. In this review, we describe the common detection schemes used based on localized plasmon resonance (LSPR) and highlight three sensing classes based on LSPR.

Abstract
Cancer nanomedicine has been investigated widely and boomed in the last two decades, resulting in designing nanostructures with biofunctionalization, giving rise to an "All-in-One" multifunctional platform. The development of rational design technology with extended functionalities brought interdisciplinary researchers to work continuously, aiming to find a prevent or effectively treat the deadly disease of the century. Thus, it led to some Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approving nano-based formulations for cancer treatment and opening a vast area of promising discoveries by exploiting different nanomaterials. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently gained tremendous interest among scientists because of their outstanding structural, optical, electronic, thermal, and mechanical characteristics. Among various 2D nanomaterials, MXenes are a widely studied nanosystem because of their close similarity to graphene analogs. So, it is synthesized using multiple approaches and exploits their inherited properties. But in most cases, surface functionalization techniques are carried out for targeting, site-specific drug clearance, renal clearance, and biocompatible with healthy cells. Thus, fabricating a multimodal agent for mono or combined therapies is also an image-guided diagnostic agent. This review will explain the recent and emerging advancements of MXenes-based composites as a multifunctional theragnostic agent and discuss the possibilities of transferring laboratory research to clinical translation.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy/scattering (SERS) has evolved into a popular tool for applications in biology and medicine owing to its ease-of-use, non-destructive, and label-free approach. Advances in plasmonics and instrumentation have enabled the realization of SERS's full potential for the trace detection of biomolecules, disease diagnostics, and monitoring. We provide a brief review on the recent developments in the SERS technique for biosensing applications, with a particular focus on machine learning techniques used for the same. Initially, the article discusses the need for plasmonic sensors in biology and the advantage of SERS over existing techniques. In the later sections, the applications are organized as SERS-based biosensing for disease diagnosis focusing on cancer identification and respiratory diseases, including the recent SARS-CoV-2 detection. We then discuss progress in sensing microorganisms, such as bacteria, with a particular focus on plasmonic sensors for detecting biohazardous materials in view of homeland security. At the end of the article, we focus on machine learning techniques for the (a) identification, (b) classification, and (c) quantification in SERS for biology applications. The review covers the work from 2010 onwards, and the language is simplified to suit the needs of the interdisciplinary audience.

Abstract
Ellipsometric Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors are known for their relatively simple optical configuration compared to interferometric and optical heterodyne phase interrogation techniques. However, most of the previously explored ellipsometric SPR sensors based on intensity measurements are limited by their real-time applications because phase or polarization shifts are conducted serially. Here we present an ellipsometric SPR sensor based on a Kretschmann-Raether (KR) diverging beam configuration and a pixelated microgrid polarization camera. The proposed methodology has the advantage of real-time and higher precision sensing applications. The short-term stability of the measurement using the ellipsometric parameters tanψ and cos(Δ) is found to be superior over direct SPR or intensity measurements, particularly with fluctuating sources such as laser diodes. Refractive index and dynamic change measurements in real-time are presented together with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA)-anti-BSA antibody binding to demonstrate the potential of the developed sensor for biological sensing applications with a resolution of sub-nM and down to pM with additional optimization. The analysis shows that this approach may provide the ultimate detection limit for SPR sensors.

Label-Free Analysis of Binding and Inhibition of SARS-Cov-19 Spike Proteins to ACE2 Receptor with ACE2-Derived Peptides by Surface Plasmon Resonance. ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2023; 6:182-190.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to enter and infect human cells via interactions between spike protein (S glycoprotein) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). As such, it may be possible to suppress the infection of the virus via the blocking of this binding interaction through the use of specific peptides that can mimic the human ACE 2 peptidase domain (PD) α 1-helix. Herein, we report the use of competitive assays along with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to investigate the effect of peptide sequence and length on spike protein inhibition. The characterization of these binding interactions helps us understand the mechanisms behind peptide-based viral blockage and develop SPR methodologies to quickly screen disease inhibitors. This work not only helps further our understanding of the important biological interactions involved in viral inhibition but will also aid in future studies that focus on the development of therapeutics and drug options. Two peptides of different sequence lengths, [30-42] and [22-44], based on the α 1-helix of ACE2 PD were selected for this fundamental investigation. In addition to characterizing their inhibitory behavior, we also identified the critical amino acid residues of the RBD/ACE2-derived peptides by combining experimental results and molecular docking modeling. While both investigated peptides were found to effectively block the RBD residues known to bind to ACE2 PD, our investigation showed that the shorter peptide was able to reach a maximal inhibition at lower concentrations. These inhibition results matched with molecular docking models and indicated that peptide length and composition are key in the development of an effective peptide for inhibiting biophysical interactions. The work presented here emphasizes the importance of inhibition screening and modeling, as longer peptides are not always more effective.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have increasingly been recognized as important cell surrogates influencing many pathophysiological processes, including cellular homeostasis, cancer progression, neurologic disease, and infectious disease. These behaviors enable EVs broad application prospects for clinical application in disease diagnosis and treatment. Many studies suggest that EVs are superior to conventional synthetic carriers in terms of drug delivery and circulating biomarkers for early disease diagnosis, opening up new frontiers for modern theranostics. Despite these clinical potential, EVs containing diverse cellular components, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites are highly heterogeneous and small size. The limitation of preparatory, engineering and analytical technologies for EVs poses technical barriers to clinical translation. This article aims at present a critical overview of emerging technologies in EVs field for biomedical applications and challenges involved in their clinic translations. The current methods for isolation and identification of EVs are discussed. Additionally, engineering strategies developed to enhance scalable production and improved cargo loading as well as tumor targeting are presented. The superior clinical potential of EVs, particularly in terms of different cell origins and their application in the next generation of diagnostic and treatment platforms, are clarified.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a tumor marker for early diagnosis and treatment. Tumor targeting can recognize and fight tumor cells more accurately from healthy cells. Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is a targeting ligand of liver tumors. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are promising techniques for tumor diagnosis and treatment. The outstanding characteristics of Hemicyanine (HCy) dye make it suitable for tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, using HCy nanoparticle (HCy NP) for liver tumor-targeting PAI and PTT has not been reported. Herein, Probe-1 is developed to enhance PAI and PTT of liver tumors due to GA targeting and intracellular ALP-instructed self-assembly of HCy NP. Compared to Probe-2 without self-assembly ability, Probe-1 displays a 4.6-fold higher PAI signal or 1.7-fold lower half inhibitory concentrations in HepG2 cells. Moreover, Probe-1 shows extended retention time (10 vs 6 h) and 2.1-fold higher PAI signal than Probe-2 in HepG2 tumors. The HepG2 tumors in Group Probe-1 obviously increase 18 °C (Tmax : 55 °C) with a 3.3-fold decreased volume while that in Group Probe-2 mildly increase 9.8 °C (Tmax : 46.8 °C) with a 4.3-fold increased volume. It is envisioned that this smart self-assembly strategy can be easily adjusted for PAI and PTT of more tumors.

Abstract
A rapid surge in world population leads to an increase in worldwide demand for agricultural products. Nanotechnology and its applications in agriculture have appeared as a boon to civilization with enormous potential in transforming conventional farming practices into redefined farming activities. Low-cost portable nanobiosensors are the most effective diagnostic tool for the rapid on-site assessment of plant and soil health including plant biotic and abiotic stress level, nutritional status, presence of hazardous chemicals in soil, etc. to maintain proper farming and crop productivity. Nanobiosensors detect physiological signals and convert them into standardized detectable signals. In order to achieve a reliable sensing analysis, nanoparticles can aid in signal amplification and sensor sensitivity by lowering the detection limit. The high selectivity and sensitivity of nanobiosensors enable early detection and management of targeted abnormalities. This study identifies the types of nanobiosensors according to the target application in agriculture sector.

Abstract
AbstractCancer ranks as a leading cause of death and a huge obstacle to rising life expectancy. If cancers are spotted early there's a high chance of survival. The conventional methods relying on the phenotypic features of the tumor are not powerful to the early screening of cancer. Cancer biomarkers are capable of indicating specific cancer states. Current biochemical assay suffers from time and reagents consuming and discontinuous monitoring. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology, a refractive index-based optical biosensor, has significant promise in biomarker detection because of its outstanding features of label-free, sensitivity, and reliability. The nanomaterial features exotic physical and chemical property work on the process of transferring biorecognition event into SPR signal and hence is functioned as signal enhancer. In this review, we mainly discussed the mechanism of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and two-dimensional (2D) functional nanomaterial for improving the SPR signal. We also introduced AuNPs and 2D nanomaterial assisted SPR technology in determining cancer biomarker. Last but not least, we discussed the challenges and outlooks of the aforementioned reformative SPR technology for cancer biomarker determination in the clinical trial.

Abstract
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast that predominantly causes invasive candidiasis. Conventional methods for detecting Candida species are costly, take 3-5 days, and require skilled technicians. Rapid pathogen identification is important in managing invasive candidiasis infection. Here, a novel molecular diagnostic assay termed loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with nanoparticles-based lateral flow biosensor (LAMP-LFB) was developed for C. albicans rapid detection. A set of six primers was designed based on the C. albicans species-specific internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) gene. The C. albicans-LAMP results were visually reported by LFB within 2 min. Various fungal strains representing Candida species, as well as several Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species, were used to determine the analytical sensitivity and specificity of the assay. The optimal LAMP conditions were 64 °C for 40 min, with a sensitivity of 1 fg of genomic DNA template from C. albicans pure cultures. No cross-reactions were obtained with non-albicans strains. Thus, the analytical specificity of the LAMP-LFB assay was 100%. The entire procedure could be completed within 85 min, including specimen processing (40 min), isothermal reaction (40 min), and result reporting (within 2 min). In 330 clinical samples (including 30 whole blood, 100 middle segment urine, and 200 sputum samples), all C. albicans-positive (62/330) samples were identified by LAMP-LFB assay, and the diagnostic accuracy was 100% when compared to the traditional clinical cultural-based methods. Thus, this assay can be used as a diagnostic tool for the rapid, accurate, sensitive, low-cost and specific detection of C. albicans strains, especially in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
The development of a CMOS manufactured THz sensing platform could enable the integration of state-of-the-art sensing principles with the mixed signal electronics ecosystem in small footprint, low-cost devices. To this aim, in this work we demonstrate a label-free protein sensing platform using highly doped germanium plasmonic antennas realized on Si and SOI substrates and operating in the THz range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The antenna response to different concentrations of BSA shows in both cases a linear response with saturation above 20 mg/mL. Ge antennas on SOI substrates feature a two-fold sensitivity as compared to conventional Si substrates, reaching a value of 6 GHz/(mg/mL), which is four-fold what reported using metal-based metamaterials. We believe that this result could pave the way to a low-cost lab-on-a-chip biosensing platform.

[PMID: 35659686 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.123600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Monitoring the level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and inhibiting its expression is important for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. However, the analysis of MMP-9 is challenging owing to its very low content in the blood, especially at the early stages of diseases. Therefore, we developed an ultrasensitive and easy-to-use immunosensor based on a three-dimensional (3D) bioplatform for the determination of the total MMP-9 concentration in plasma. The used 3D bioplatform (G2 poly(amidoamine) dendrimer; PAMAM) improved the sensitivity of the determination by significantly expanding the surface area of the receptor layer. The antigen-antibody recognition process was controlled by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of the orientation of antibody molecules in the sensing layer on the work parameters of the immunosensor was analyzed using unmodified PAMAM (PAMAM-NH2) and PAMAM functionalized with -COOH groups (PAMAM-COOH). The developed immunosensor based on PAMAM-NH2 was characterized by a lower detection limit (LOD = 2.0 pg⋅mL-1) and wider analytical range (1·10-4 - 5 μg⋅mL-1 for EIS and QCM-D) compared to PAMAM-COOH immunosensor (EIS: 1·10-4 - 0.5 μg⋅mL-1; QCM-D: 5·10-4 - 0.5 μg⋅mL-1). The functionality of the proposed device was verified in spiked plasma. The recoveries determined in commercial human and rat plasma and noncommercial rat plasma were very close to the value of 100% and in the range of 96-120% for Au/PAMAM-NH2/Ab and Au/PAMAM-COOH/Ab immunosensors, respectively. The designed analytical devices showed high selectivity and sensitivity without the use of any amplifiers such as metal nanoparticles or enzymes.

Abstract
Rapid detection of microorganisms is a major challenge in the medical and industrial sectors. In a pharmaceutical laboratory, contamination of medical products may lead to severe health risks for patients, such as sepsis. In the specific case of advanced therapy medicinal products, contamination must be detected as early as possible to avoid late production stop and unnecessary costs. Unfortunately, the conventional methods used to detect microorganisms are based on time-consuming and labor-intensive approaches. Therefore, it is important to find new tools to detect microorganisms in a shorter time frame. This review sums up the current methods and represents the evolution in techniques for microorganism detection. First, there is a focus on promising ligands, such as aptamers and antimicrobial peptides, cheaper to produce and with a broader spectrum of detection. Then, we describe methods achieving low limits of detection, thanks to Raman spectroscopy or precise handling of samples through microfluids devices. The last part is dedicated to techniques in real-time, such as surface plasmon resonance, preventing the risk of contamination. Detection of pathogens in complex biological fluids remains a scientific challenge, and this review points toward important areas for future research.

Abstract
Terahertz (THz) metamaterials for rapid label-free sensing show application potential for the detection of cancer biomarkers. A novel flexible THz metamaterial biosensor based on a low refraction index parylene-C substrate is proposed. The biomarkers are modified on non-metal areas by a three-step modification method that simplifies the modification steps and improves the modified effectivity. Simulation results for non-metal modification illustrate that a bulk refractive index sensitivity of 325 GHz/RIU is achieved, which is larger than that obtained for the traditional metal modification (147 GHz/RIU). Meanwhile, several fluorescence experiments proved the uniform modification effect and selective adsorption capacity of the non-metal modification method. The concentration of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) biomarkers for breast cancer patients tested using this THz biosensor is found to be consistent with results obtained from traditional clinical tests. The limit of detection reaches 2.97 ng/mL. These findings demonstrate that the flexible THz metamaterial biosensor can be extensively used for the rapid detection of cancer biomarkers in the future.

Abstract
Express and highly sensitive immunoassays for the quantitative registration of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are in high demand for early point-of-care differential diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The selection of antibodies that feature rapid and tight binding with antigens is crucial for immunoassay rate and sensitivity. A method is presented for the selection of the most promising clones for advanced immunoassays via simultaneous characterization of interaction kinetics of different monoclonal antibodies (mAb) using a direct label-free method of multiplex spectral correlation interferometry. mAb-cTnI interactions were real-time registered on an epoxy-modified microarray glass sensor chip that did not require activation. The covalent immobilization of mAb microdots on its surface provided versatility, convenience, and virtually unlimited multiplexing potential. The kinetics of tracer antibody interaction with the “cTnI—capture antibody” complex was characterized. Algorithms are shown for excluding mutual competition of the tracer/capture antibodies and selecting the optimal pairs for different assay formats. Using the selected mAbs, a lateral flow assay was developed for rapid quantitative cTnI determination based on electronic detection of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles applied as labels (detection limit—0.08 ng/mL, dynamic range > 3 orders). The method can be extended to other molecular biomarkers for high-throughput screening of mAbs and rational development of immunoassays.

Abstract
Improving nonlinear optics efficiency is currently one of the hotspots in modern optical research. Moreover, with the maturity of nonlinear optical microscope systems, more and more biology, materials, medicine, and other related disciplines have higher imaging resolution and detection accuracy requirements for nonlinear optical microscope systems. Surface plasmons of metal nanoparticle structures could confine strong localized electromagnetic fields in their vicinity to generate a new electromagnetic mode, which has been widely used in surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface-enhanced fluorescence, and photocatalysis. In this review, we summarize the mechanism of nonlinear optical effects and surface plasmons and also review some recent work on plasmon-enhanced nonlinear optical effects. In addition, we present some latest applications of nonlinear optical microscopy system research.

Abstract
The oxidative stress response pathway is one of the hotspots of current pharmaceutical research. Many proteins involved in these pathways work through protein–protein interactions (PPIs). Hence, targeting PPI to develop drugs for an oxidative stress response is a promising strategy. In recent years, small molecules targeting protein–protein interactions (PPIs), which provide efficient methods for drug discovery, are being investigated by an increasing number of studies. However, unlike the enzyme–ligand binding mode, PPIs usually exhibit large and dynamic binding interfaces, which raise additional challenges for the discovery and optimization of small molecules and for the biochemical techniques used to screen compounds and study structure–activity relationships (SARs). Currently, multiple types of PPIs have been clustered into different classes, which make it difficult to design stationary methods for small molecules. Deficient experimental methods are plaguing medicinal chemists and are becoming a major challenge in the discovery of PPI inhibitors. In this review, we present current methods that are specifically used in the discovery and identification of small molecules that target oxidative stress-related PPIs, including proximity-based, affinity-based, competition-based, structure-guided, and function-based methods. Our aim is to introduce feasible methods and their characteristics that are implemented in the discovery of small molecules for different types of PPIs. For each of these methods, we highlight successful examples of PPI inhibitors associated with oxidative stress to illustrate the strategies and provide insights for further design.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignancy associated with high mortality and increasing incidence. Early detection of this disease could help increase survival and overall patient benefit. Non-invasive strategies for the diagnosis of this medical condition are of utmost importance. In this scope, the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers could provide a useful diagnostic tool. Aptamers represent as short, single-stranded DNAs or RNAs that can specifically bind selected analytes, and also as pseudo-biorecognition elements that can be employed for electrode functionalization. Also, other types of DNA sequences can be used for the construction of DNA-based biosensors applied for the quantification of hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers. Herein, we will be analyzing recent examples of aptasensors and DNA biosensors for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers like micro-RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, exosomes, circulating tumor cells and proteins. The literature data is discussed comparatively in a critical manner highlighting the advantages of using electrochemical biosensors in diagnosis, as well as the use of nanomaterials and biocomponents in the functionalization of electrodes for improved sensitivity and selectivity.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of infectious diseases is critical because it can greatly increase recovery rates and prevent the spread of diseases such as COVID-19; however, in many areas with insufficient medical facilities, the timely detection of diseases is challenging. Conventional medical testing methods require specialized laboratory equipment and well-trained operators, limiting the applicability of these tests. Microfluidic point-of-care (POC) equipment can rapidly detect diseases at low cost. This technology could be used to detect diseases in underdeveloped areas to reduce the effects of disease and improve quality of life in these areas. This review details microfluidic POC equipment and its applications. First, the concept of microfluidic POC devices is discussed. We then describe applications of microfluidic POC devices for infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, tumors (cancer), and chronic diseases, and discuss the future incorporation of microfluidic POC devices into applications such as wearable devices and telemedicine. Finally, the review concludes by analyzing the present state of the microfluidic field, and suggestions are made. This review is intended to call attention to the status of disease treatment in underdeveloped areas and to encourage the researchers of microfluidics to develop standards for these devices.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with high incidence in the urinary system, complex pathogenic causes, and the high recurrence rate. Biosensors capable of rapid, on site, and accurate bladder cancer diagnosis method continue to be lacking. Here, the electrochemical biosensor for detecting cytokeratin 18 (CK18, bladder cancer biomarker) was constructed based on the chemically modified electrode (CME). The work electrode (WE) was modified by bismuth sulfide semiconductor nanocrystals (Bi2S3 NCs), and then immobilized with CK18 antibodies and blocking agents to complete the electrode preparation. The results indicated that the interface of a flexible carbon electrode with Bi2S3 NCs film was steady with reliable charge transfer capability. With the large specific area and quantum size effect, the proposed sensor could detect CK18 antigen protein with an ultralow detection limit of 1.87 fM (fmol L−1) and wide linear dynamic range of 1–1000 pg mL−1, respectively. Detecting results could be read in less than 30 s with the portable, planar flexible CME. The sensitive and specific electrochemical biosensor possessed the characteristics of rapidity, ease-of-use, and non-invasive detection, indicating the application prospect in the early screening of bladder cancer and other diseases.
