Abstract
Sulfated cellulose nanocrystals' (CNCs') facile aqueous dispersibility enables producing films, fibers, and other materials using only water as a solvent but prevents using sulfated CNCs in applications that require water immersion. We report that modifying CNCs with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) via a simple, single-pot reaction scheme dramatically improves the hydrolytic stability of CNC films. The effects of APTES modification on CNCs' properties were studied using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force and optical microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic light scattering, and ultimate analysis. Substituting a mere 12.6% of the CNCs' available hydroxyl groups with APTES dramatically increased the hydrolytic stability of shear cast films while only having minor impacts on their mechanical properties. In addition, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCMD) and multiparametric surface plasmon resonance (MP-SPR) studies showed that the CNC-APTES films also had a greater irreversible binding with carbofuran, a pesticide and emerging contaminant. These results highlight that APTES modification is a promising method for increasing the utility of sulfated CNCs in sensors, adsorbents, and other applications requiring water immersion.

Abstract
In the era that we seek personalization in material things, it is becoming increasingly clear that the individualized management of medicine and nutrition plays a key role in life expectancy and quality of life, allowing participation to some extent in our welfare and the use of societal resources in a rationale and equitable way. The implementation of precision medicine and nutrition are highly complex challenges which depend on the development of new technologies able to meet important requirements in terms of cost, simplicity, and versatility, and to determine both individually and simultaneously, almost in real time and with the required sensitivity and reliability, molecular markers of different omics levels in biofluids extracted, secreted (either naturally or stimulated), or circulating in the body. Relying on representative and pioneering examples, this review article critically discusses recent advances driving the position of electrochemical bioplatforms as one of the winning horses for the implementation of suitable tools for advanced diagnostics, therapy, and precision nutrition. In addition to a critical overview of the state of the art, including groundbreaking applications and challenges ahead, the article concludes with a personal vision of the imminent roadmap.

Abstract
Molecular diagnostics play an important role in illness detection, prevention, and treatment, and are vital in point-of-care test. In this investigation, a novel CRISPR/Cas12a based small-molecule detection platform was developed using Antibody-Controlled Cas12a Biosensor (ACCBOR), in which antibody would control the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a. In this system, small-molecule was labeled around the PAM sites of no target sequence(NTS), and antibody would bind on the labeled molecule to prevent the combination of CRISPR/Cas12a, resulting the decrease of trans-cleavage activity. Biotin-, digoxin-, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-VD3)-labeled NTS and corresponding binding protein were separately used to verify its preformance, showing great universality. Finally, one-pot detection of 25-OH-VD3 was developed, exhibiting high sensitivity and excellent specificity. The limit of detection could be 259.86 pg/mL in serum within 30 min. This assay platform also has the advantages of low cost, easy operation (one-pot method), and fast detection (∼30 min), would be a new possibilities for the highly sensitive detection of other small-molecule targets.

Abstract
For the first time a metal organic framework nanomaterial has been developed comprising manganese dioxide nanoparticle and iron and zinc metal ions interlinked with each other via terephthalic acid. The framework shape was identified as an elongated hexagonal nanorod (TEM) with varying functional groups (FT-IR) and diffraction patterns (XRD). The framework nanocomposite as such in aqueous acidic electrolyte solution has displayed an excellent conductivity (redox behavior) and surface excess (3.08 × 10-8 cm-2). Under the optimized conditions (0.1 M H2SO4 as electrolyte, 50 mV/s scan rate, +1.26 V (vs Ag/AgCl)), the metal organic framework coated electrode has selectively identified vitamin D3 (VD3) in the presence of various other interfering molecules and displayed excellent limit of detection (1.9 ng mL-1). The developed sensor has been applied to the determination of VD3 in extracted human plasma samples (RSD of 0.3-2.6 % and recovery of 96-102 %), and the obtained VD3 values are similar to HPLC-UV method.

Abstract
In this work, indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes were functionalized with varying 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) concentration percentages (0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 2.0 wt %) to obtain the optimum conditions for the assembly of the as-synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNP coverage, wettability, and electrochemical performance of the modified electrodes were evaluated. The AuNP/0.75% APTES-ITO-modified electrode exhibited uniform coverage of AuNPs and high electrochemical performance for the simultaneous detection of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) ions. Under the optimum conditions, the AuNP/0.75% APTES-ITO-modified electrode showed a linear detection range of 5-120 ppb and limit of detection of 0.73, 0.90, and 0.49 ppb for the simultaneous detection of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) ions, respectively, via square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The modified electrode demonstrated good anti-interference toward other heavy metal ions, good reproducibility, and suitability for application in environmental sample analysis.

Abstract
On-site monitoring of vitamin D levels is subject matter of immediate attention owing to the serious aftermath of its long standing deficiency. Therefore, a novel and efficient voltammetric immunosensing of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)VD3) has been experimented based on an advanced sensing platform composed of meso-microporous silica-zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (MSS-Z8) with highly enhanced surface area (SBET, MSS-Z8 (643.4 m2g-1) > SBET, MSS (49.95 m2g-1)), embedded with gold particles (mass loading of 82 μg), particularly of microcubic morphology (MC-Au). Further, the MC-Au/MSS-Z8/FTO platform was fashioned with antibody specific to 25(OH)VD3 via interaction between Au and abundant -SH groups present on the antibody surface. After optimization of operational parameters, the Ab/MC-Au/MSS-Z8/FTO immunosensor was employed for the determination of 25(OH)VD3 within 0.01-106 pg mL-1 concentration range through differential pulse voltammetry technique in [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. Thus, 0.01 pg mL-1 concentration of 25(OH)VD3 was the experimental limit of detection of the immunosensor. Further, upon examination of various analytical parameters, it turns out that the immunosensor exhibited low theoretical LOD (0.23 pg mL-1) and LOQ (0.76 pg mL-1), wide linear range (0.01-106 pg mL-1), ultra-sensitivity (143.9 μA [log (pg mL-1)]-1 cm-2), adequate reproducibility (RSD ≤1.23%) and acceptable shelf life. Most importantly, the immunosensor presented proficient performance with spiked human serum samples (Recovery = 97.20-100.7%, RSD value < 5.6%), evincing the adequacy of present biosensing approach.

Abstract
In this paper, a new kind of ultrasensitive and low-cost electrochemical immunosensing probe was designed to monitor vitamin D deficiency using 25(OH)D3 as a clinical biomarker. Ferrocene carbaldehyde conjugated on Ab-25(OH)D3 antibodies was used as an electrochemical probe for generating signals. The graphene nanoribbon-modified electrode (GNRs) was used to immobilize the (Ab-25(OH)D3-Fc) conjugate. The high electron transferability, greater surface area, and effective biocompatibility of GNRs enabled the capture of the greater number of primary antibodies (Ab-25(OH)D3). The developed probe was structurally and morphologically characterized. The step-wise modification was investigated by electrochemical techniques. The direct electrochemistry of ferrocene enabled 25(OH)D3 biomarker detection with excellent sensitivity. The reduction in peak current was proportional to the concentrations of 25(OH)D3 in the range of 1-100 ng mL-1 with a 0.1 ng mL-1 limit of detection. The probe was tested in terms of reproducibility, repeatability, and stability. Finally, the developed immunosensing probe was applied in serum samples for 25(OH)D3 quantification, and no significant difference was noticed in the assay results when compared with the standard chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) method. The developed detection strategy has a wider scope for future potential clinical diagnostics applications.

Abstract
As a more efficient and effective way to address disease diagnosis and intervention, cutting-edge technologies, devices, therapeutic approaches, and practices have emerged within the personalized medicine concept depending on the particular patient's biology and the molecular basis of the disease. Personalized medicine is expected to play a pivotal role in assessing disease risk or predicting response to treatment, understanding a person's health status, and, therefore, health care decision-making. This work discusses electrochemical biosensors for monitoring multiparametric biomarkers at different molecular levels and their potential to elucidate the health status of an individual in a personalized manner. In particular, and as an illustration, we discuss several aspects of the infection produced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as a current health care concern worldwide. This includes SARS-CoV-2 structure, mechanism of infection, biomarkers, and electrochemical biosensors most commonly explored for diagnostics, prognostics, and potentially assessing the risk of complications in patients in the context of personalized medicine. Finally, some concluding remarks and perspectives hint at the use of electrochemical biosensors in the frame of other cutting-edge converging/emerging technologies toward the inauguration of a new paradigm of personalized medicine.

Abstract
Flexible, fully printed immunosensors can meet the requirements of precision nutrition, but this demands optimized molecular architectures to reach the necessary sensitivity. Herein, we report on flexible and label-free immunosensor chips made with tree-like gold dendrites (AuDdrites) electrochemically formed by selective desorption of l-cysteine (L-cys) on (111) gold planes. Electrodeposition was used because it is scalable and cost-effective for a rapid, direct growth of Au hyperbranched dendritic structures. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) metabolite was detected within 15 min with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 ng mL-1. This high performance was possible due to the careful optimization of the electroactive layer and working conditions for square wave voltammetry (SWV). Electrocrystallization was manipulated by controlling the deposition potential and the molar ratio between HAuCl4 and L-cys. Metabolite detection was performed on human serum and saliva samples with adequate recovery between 97% and 100%. The immunosensors were stable and reproducible, unresponsive to interference from other molecules in human serum and saliva. They can be extended for use as wearable sensors with their mechanical flexibility and possible customization.

Abstract
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) has been clinically considered as a novel biomarker for vitamin D deficiency. The current standard technologies for the detection of 25(OH)D are performed in sophisticated laboratories exhibiting the practical limitations for onsite and affordable testing. Therefore, the development of a cost-effective device for Vitamin D is extremely necessary to provide an earlier diagnosis. Herein, for the first time, we propose a novel label-free impedimetric immunosensor for the detection and quantification of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) biomarker in serum samples based on the Au nanoparticles functionalized GCN-β-CD nanocomposite. To fabricate the sensing probe, Ab-25(OH)D3 antibodies were covalently immobilized on GCN-β-CD@Au/GCE using carbodiimide chemistry. The surface morphology and structural properties of constructed immunosensor were confirmed by different analytical techniques. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique (EIS) has been selected as the main detection method to measure the Antibody (Ab) and Antigen (Ag) interaction at the immunosensor surface because it is label-free, less destructive to the activities of the biomolecule, and highly sensitive. The as-prepared immunosensor exhibited an excellent concentration range from 0.1 ng/ml to 500 ng/ml with the lowest limit of detection of 0.01 ng/ml. Furthermore, the sensing probe was validated in serum samples and obtained results were compared with the standard CLIA technique. The results have revealed that the sensing probe could be used for clinical diagnosis of Vitamin D deficiency in the clinical laboratories.

Decentralized vitamin C & D dual biosensor chip: Toward personalized immune system support. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 194:113590.

Abstract
Combating the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on nutritional support of the immune system through consumption of vitamins C and D. Accordingly, there are urgent demands for an effective on-the-spot multi-vitamin self-testing platform that monitors the levels of these immune-supporting micronutrients for guiding precision nutrition recommendations. Herein, we present a compact bioelectronic dual sensor chip aimed at frequent on-the-spot simultaneous monitoring of the salivary vitamin C and D dynamics. The new bioelectronic chip combines a new electrocatalytic vitamin C amperometric assay along with competitive vitamin D immunoassay on neighboring electrodes, to perform selective and cross-talk free detection of both vitamins in a 10-μL saliva sample within 25 min. The distinct vitamin C or D temporal profiles obtained for different individuals after vitamin supplementation indicate the potential of the new bioelectronic chip strategy for enhancing personalized nutrition towards guiding dietary interventions to meet individual nutrition needs and promote immune system health.

Graphene oxide and fluorescent aptamer based novel biosensor for detection of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3. Sci Rep 2021; 11:23456.

Abstract
For maintaining the healthy metabolic status, vitamin D is a beneficial metabolite stored majorly in its pre-activated form, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3). Due to its important role in bone strengthening, the study was planned to quantify 25(OH)D3 levels in our blood. Quantification techniques for 25(OH)D3 are costly thus requiring a need for a low cost, and sensitive detection methods. In this work, an economic, and sensitive sensor for the detection of 25(OH)D3 was developed using aptamer and graphene oxide (GO). Aptamer is an oligonucleotide, sensitive towards its target, whereas, GO with 2D nanosheets provides excellent quenching surface. Aptamer labeled with fluorescein (5’, 6-FAM) is adsorbed by π–π interaction on the GO sheets leading to quenching of the fluorescence due to Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). However, in the presence of 25(OH)D3, a major portion of aptamer fluorescence remains unaltered, due to its association with 25(OH)D3. However, in the absence, aptamer fluorescence gets fully quenched. Fluorescence intensity quenching was monitored using fluorescence spectrophotometer and agarose gel based system. The limit of detection of 25(OH)D3 by this method was found to be 0.15 µg/mL whereas when GO-COOH was used, limit of detection was improved to 0.075 µg/mL. Therefore, this method could come up as a new sensing method in the field of vitamin D detection.

Abstract
A 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APES) fiber-optic sensor based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) was demonstrated. The MZI was constructed with a core-offset fusion single mode fiber (SMF) structure with a length of 3.0 cm. As APES gradually attaches to the MZI, the external environment of the MZI changes, which in turn causes change in the MZI’s interference. That is the reason why we can obtain the relationships between the APES amount and resonance dip wavelength by measuring the transmission variations of the resonant dip wavelength of the MZI. The optimized amount of 1% APES for 3.0 cm MZI biosensors was 3 mL, whereas the optimized amount of 2% APES was 1.5 mL.

Abstract
A voltammetric immunosensor based on molybdenum sulphide (MoS2) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for the determination of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) is reported. Anti-vit D (Ab-25(OH)D3) was immobilized onto the cysteamine-modified MoS2 and Au NPs which were deposited onto a fluoride tin oxide (FTO) electrode (Ab/Cys/Au/MoS2/FTO). The MoS2 sheets were prepared by hydrothermal method followed by an in situ growth of Au film onto the MoS2/FTO surface. Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of cysteamine was synthesized onto the Au/MoS2/FTO which acts as a linker to covalently bind Ab-25(OH)D3. The Ab-25(OH)D3-immobilized Cys/Au/MoS2/FTO was used to detect 25(OH)D3 using differential pulse voltammetry. The electrochemical system provided an anodic peak current at a potential of +0.21 V vs. Ag/AgCl (satd. KCl) of ferricyanide/ferrocyanide redox couple. The detection principle relies on the inhibition of electron transfer at the electrode surface owing to the hindrance caused by the formation of immune complex between Ab-25(OH)D3 and 25(OH)D3. The immunosensor shows linear response from 1 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 25(OH)D3 and a sensitivity of 189 μA [log (pg mL-1)]-1 cm-2 along with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.38 pg mL-1. The immunosensor is highly selective towards 25(OH)D3 and presented a long shelf life of 28 days. Also, the immunosensor exhibits satisfactory performance towards spiked human serum samples with recovery between 95.1 and 102% (RSD 1.15-3.22%).

Abstract
While wearable and mobile chemical sensors have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade, their potential for tracking and guiding nutrition has emerged only over the past three years. Currently, guidelines from doctors and dietitians represent the most common approach for maintaining optimal nutrition status. However, such recommendations rely on population averages and do not take into account individual variability in responding to nutrients. Precision nutrition has recently emerged to address the large heterogeneity in individuals' responses to diet, by tailoring nutrition based on the specific requirements of each person. It aims at preventing and managing diseases by formulating personalized dietary interventions to individuals on the basis of their metabolic profile, background, and environmental exposure. Recent advances in digital nutrition technology, including calories-counting mobile apps and wearable motion tracking devices, lack the ability of monitoring nutrition at the molecular level. The realization of effective precision nutrition requires synergy from different sensor modalities in order to make timely reliable predictions and efficient feedback. This work reviews key opportunities and challenges toward the successful realization of effective wearable and mobile nutrition monitoring platforms. Non-invasive wearable and mobile electrochemical sensors, capable of monitoring temporal chemical variations upon the intake of food and supplements, are excellent candidates to bridge the gap between digital and biochemical analyses for a successful personalized nutrition approach. By providing timely (previously unavailable) dietary information, such wearable and mobile sensors offer the guidance necessary for supporting dietary behavior change toward a managed nutritional balance. Coupling of the rapidly emerging wearable chemical sensing devices-generating enormous dynamic analytical data-with efficient data-fusion and data-mining methods that identify patterns and make predictions is expected to revolutionize dietary decision-making toward effective precision nutrition.

Abstract
Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is a global health concern due to its serious health impacts, and at present, the monitoring of VD status is expensive. Here, a novel immunosensor for sensitive and label-free detection of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25VD3) is reported. Nanostructured cerium(IV) oxide (nCeO2) was anchored onto carbon cloth (CC) via electrophoretic deposition to fabricate a nanoplatform (nCeO2/CC). Subsequently, bioactive molecules (anti-25VD3 and BSA) were introduced to fabricate the nanobioplatform BSA/anti-25VD3/nCeO2/CC as an immunosensor. The analytical performance of the developed immunosensor was studied towards 25VD3 detection. The immunosensor provides a broad linear range of 1-200 ng mL-1, high sensitivity of 2.08 μA ng−1 mL cm−2, a detection limit of 4.63 ng mL−1, and a response time of 15 min, which is better than that of previous reports. The biosensor exhibited high selectivity, good reproducibility, and excellent stability for about 45 days. The potential application of the proposed immunosensor was observed for real serum samples towards 25VD3 detection that demonstrated a high correlation with the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
