[PMID: 38818528 PMCID: PMC11137601 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
The incidence of chronic wound healing is promoted by the growing trend of elderly population, obesity, and type II diabetes. Although numerous wound dressings have been studied over the years, it is still challenging for many wound dressings to perfectly adapt to the healing process due to the dynamic and complicated wound microenvironment. Aiming at an optimal reproduction of the physiological environment, multifunctional electrospinning nanofibrous membranes (ENMs) have emerged as a promising platform for the wound treatment owing to their resemblance to extracellular matrix (ECM), adjustable preparation processes, porousness, and good conformability to the wound site. Moreover, profiting from the booming development of human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence, a next generation of intelligent electrospinning nanofibrous membranes (iENMs) based wound dressing substrates that could realize the real-time monitoring of wound proceeding and individual-based wound therapy has evoked a surge of interest. In this regard, general wound-related biomarkers and process are overviewed firstly and representative iENMs stimuli-responsive materials are briefly summarized. Subsequently, the emergent applications of iENMs for the wound healing are highlighted. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for the development of next-generation iENMs as well as translating iENMs into clinical practice are evaluated.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are regarded as a silent epidemic, affecting 1-2% of the population and representing 2-4% of healthcare expenses. The current methods used to assess the wound healing process are based on the visual evaluation of physical parameters. This work aims to design a wearable non-invasive device capable of evaluating three parameters simultaneously: the pH and the levels of glucose and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) present in the wound exudate. The device is composed of three independent polymer optical fibers functionalized with fluorescent-based sensing chemistries specific to the targeted analytes. Each fiber is characterized in terms of detection sensitivity and selectivity confirming their suitability for monitoring the targeted parameters in ranges relevant to the wound environment. The selectivity and robustness of the multi-sensing device are confirmed with analyses using complex solutions with different pH levels (5, 6, and 7), different concentrations of glucose (1.25, 2.5, and 5 mm), and MMP (1.25, 2.5, and 5 µg mL-1 ). Given the simple set-up, the affordability of the materials used and the possibility of detecting additional parameters relevant to wound healing, such multi-sensing fiber-based devices could pave the way for novel non-invasive wearable tools enabling the assessment of wound healing from the molecular perspective.

Abstract
Sensors play a critical role in the detection and monitoring of various substances present in our environment, providing us with valuable information about the world around us. Within the field of sensor development, one area that holds particular importance is the detection of small molecules. Small molecules encompass a wide range of organic or inorganic compounds with low molecular weight, typically below 900 Daltons including gases, volatile organic compounds, solvents, pesticides, drugs, biomarkers, toxins, and pollutants. The accurate and efficient detection of these small molecules has attracted significant interest from the scientific community due to its relevance in diverse fields such as environmental pollutants monitoring, medical diagnostics, industrial optimization, healthcare remedies, food safety, ecosystems, and aquatic and terrestrial life preservation. To meet the demand for precise and efficient monitoring of small molecules, this summary aims to provide an overview of recent advancements in sensing and quantification strategies for various organic small molecules including Hydrazine, Glucose, Morpholine, Ethanol amine, Nitrosamine, Oxygen, Nitro-aromatics, Phospholipids, Carbohydrates, Antibiotics, Pesticides, Drugs, Adenosine Triphosphate, Aromatic Amine, Glutathione, Hydrogen Peroxide, Acetone, Methyl Parathion, and Thiophenol. The focus is on understanding the receptor sensing mechanism, along with the electrical, optical, and electrochemical response. Additionally, the variations in UV-visible spectral properties of the ligands upon treatment with the receptor, fluorescence and absorption titration analysis for limit of detection (LOD) determination, and bioimaging analysis are discussed wherever applicable. It is anticipated that the information gathered from this literature survey will be helpful for the perusal of innovation regarding sensing strategies.

Thioflavin-modified molecularly imprinted hydrogel for fluorescent-based non-enzymatic glucose detection in wound exudate. Mater Today Bio 2022; 14:100258. [PMID: 35469256 PMCID: PMC9034389 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The concentration of glucose in the body's fluids is an important parameter that can indicate pathological conditions such as the progress of infected wounds. Several wearables and implantable detection approaches have been developed with high selectivity and sensitivity for glucose. However, all of them have drawbacks such as low stability, limited selectivity, and often require complex technology. In this work, we present a fluorescent-based cost-efficient imprinted hydrogel (MIH_GSH) capable of detecting glucose within 30 min. The imprinting approach allows us to improve the selectivity for glucose, overcoming the low specificity and limited binding efficiency at neutral pH of boronic acid-based detection mechanisms. The binding affinity determined for glucose-MIH_GSH was indeed 6-fold higher than the one determined for the non-imprinted hydrogel with a calculated imprinting factor of 1.7. The limit of detection of MIH_GSH for glucose in artificial wound exudate was calculated as 0.48 mM at pH 7.4 proving the suitability of the proposed approach to diagnose chronic wounds (ca. 1 mM). MIH_GSH was compared with a commercial colorimetric assay for the quantification of glucose in wound exudate specimens collected from hospitalized patients. The results obtained with the two methods were statistically similar confirming the robustness of our approach. Importantly, whereas with the colorimetric assay sample preparation was required to limit the interference of the sample background, the fluorescent signal of MIH_GSH was not affected even when used to measure glucose directly in bloody samples. The sensing mechanism here proposed can pave the way for the development of cost-efficient and wearable point-of-care tools capable of monitoring the glucose level in wound exudate enabling the quick assessment of chronic injuries. Highly sensitive and selective non-enzymatic approach to detect glucose in wound exudate. The fluorescent-based method ensured the detection of glucose in complex biological samples. The imprinting approach allowed overcoming the drawback of boronic acid-based methods. The cost-efficient approach is suitable for the development of point-of-care devices.

Abstract
Among the numerous transition metal hydroxide materials, cobalt- and nickel-based hydroxides have been extensively studied for their excellent electrochemical performances such as non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors. Binary cobalt-nickel hydroxide has received extensive attention for its exceptionally splendid electrochemical behaviors as a promising glucose sensor material. In this work, we report the synthesis of three-dimensional amorphous Co-Ni hydroxide nanostructures with homogeneous distribution of elements via a simple and chemically clean electrochemical deposition method. The amorphous Co-Ni hydroxide, as a non-enzymatic glucose sensor material, exhibits a superior biosensing performance toward glucose detection for its superior electron transfer capability, high specific surface area, and abundant intrinsic redox couples of Ni2+/Ni3+ and Co2+/Co3+/Co4+ ions. The as-synthesized amorphous Co-Ni hydroxide holds great potential in glucose monitoring and detection as non-enzymatic glucose sensors with high sensitivity 1911.5 μA mM-1 cm-2 at low concentration, wide linear range of 0.00025-1 mM and 1-5 mM, low detection limit of 0.127 μM, super long-term stability, and excellent selectivity in 0.5 M NaOH solution.

Detecting Glucose Levels in Blood Plasma and Artificial Tear by Au(I) Complex on the Carbopol Polymer: A Microfluidic Paper-Based Method. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:E1001. [PMID: 30960926 PMCID: PMC6404068 DOI: 10.3390/polym10091001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Revised: 08/18/2018] [Accepted: 09/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
We report on a selective paper-based method and a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for the detection of human plasma glucose and tear glucose using carbopol polymer-encapsulated Au(I) complex (AuC₂C₆H₄OMe)₂(Ph₂P(C₆H₄)₃PPh₂), (B5). To the best of our knowledge, this demonstrates for the first time the glucose sensing based on dual emission, i.e., fluorescence and phosphorescence, of a single type molecule on the carbopol polymer. Upon addition of human blood treated with anticoagulants to μPADs, plasma is separated from the blood and flows into the response region of the μPADs to react with carbopol polymer-encapsulated B5, in which the ratiometric luminescence is analyzed. The plasma glucose concentration can be quantitively detected at 1.0⁻50.0 mM on paper, and tear glucose can be detected at 0.1⁻4.0 mM on μPADs. Owing to the structural design, this device has superior ratiometric changes of dual emission over other Au(I) complexes for signal transduction. The encapsulation of carbopol polymer also offers long-term storage stability. In tear measurement, carbopol polymer is not only used to encapsulate enzyme to remain the enzyme's activity, but also played as a glue (or media) to connect microfluidic channel and response region. This further improves the sensitivity and limit of detection for glucose. Moreover, this sensor provides a faster response time, a wider range for glucose sensing than reported previously, and no statistical difference of the data from a commercial glucometer, allowing for practical diagnosis of diabetes and healthy individuals.
