Abstract
Iminoboronates and diazaborines are related classes of compounds that feature an imine ortho to an arylboronic acid (iminoboronate) or a hydrazone that cyclizes with an ortho arylboronic acid (diazaborine). Rather than acting as independent chemical motifs, the arylboronic acid impacts the rate of imine/hydrazone formation, hydrolysis, and exchange with competing nucleophiles. Increasing evidence has shown that the imine/hydrazone functionality also impacts arylboronic acid reactivity toward diols and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). Untangling the communication between C=N linked functionalities and arylboronic acids has revealed a powerful and tunable motif for bioconjugation chemistries and other applications in chemical biology. Here, we survey the applications of iminoboronates and diazaborines in these fields with an eye toward understanding their utility as a function of neighboring group effects.

Abstract
Indirect electrochemical methods are a powerful tool for synthetic chemistry because they allow for the optimization of chemical selectivity in a reaction while maintaining the advantages of electrochemistry in terms of sustainability. Recently, we have found that such methods provide a handle for not only the synthesis of complex molecules, but also the construction of complex, addressable molecular surfaces. In this effort, the indirect electrochemical methods enable the placement or synthesis of molecules by any electrode or set of electrodes in a microelectrode array. The success of these surface-based reactions are typically evaluated with the use of fluorescence labelling studies. However, these fluorescence-based evaluations can be misleading. While they are excellent for determining that a reaction has occurred in a site-selective fashion on an array, they do not provide information on whether that reaction is the one desired or how well it worked. We describe here how the use of a "safety-catch" linker strategy allows for a more accurate assessment of reaction quality on an array, and then use that capability to illustrate how the use of transition metal mediated cross-coupling reactions on an array prevent unwanted background reactions that can occur on a polymer-coated electrode surface. The method enables a unique level of quality control for array-based transformations.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of food contaminants is becoming increasingly important for timely prevention and treatment of foodborne disease. In this review, we discuss recent developments of electrochemical biosensors as facile, rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly analytical devices and their applications in food safety analysis, owing to the analytical characteristics of electrochemical detection and to advances in the design and production of bioreceptors (antibodies, DNA, aptamers, peptides, molecular imprinted polymers, enzymes, bacteriophages, etc.). They can offer a low limit of detection required for food contaminants such as allergens, pesticides, antibiotic traces, toxins, bacteria, etc. We provide an overview of a broad range of electrochemical biosensing designs and consider future opportunities for this technology in food control.

Abstract
Metal graphitic nanocapsules have the advantages of both graphitic and metal nanomaterials, showing great promise in biomedicine. On one hand, the chemically inert graphitic shells are able to protect the metal core from external environments, quench the fluorescence signal from the biological system, offer robust platform for targeted molecules or drugs loading, and act as stable Raman labels or internal standard molecule. On the other hand, the metal cores with different compositions, sizes, and morphologies show unique physicochemical properties, and further broaden their biomedical functions. In this review, we firstly introduce the preparation, classification, and properties of metal graphitic nanocapsules, then summarize the recent progress of their applications in biodetection, bioimaging, and therapy. Challenges and their development prospects in biomedicine are eventually discussed in detail. We expect the versatile metal graphitic nanocapsules will advance the development of future clinical biomedicine.

Abstract
The field of infectious disease diagnostics is burdened by inequality in access to healthcare resources. In particular, “point-of-care” (POC) diagnostics that can be utilized in non-laboratory, sub-optimal environments are appealing for disease control with limited resources. Electrochemical biosensors, which combine biorecognition elements with electrochemical readout to enable sensitive and specific sensing using inexpensive, simple equipment, are a major area of research for the development of POC diagnostics. To improve the limit of detection (LOD) and selectivity, signal amplification strategies have been applied towards these sensors. In this perspective, we review recent advances in electrochemical biosensor signal amplification strategies for infectious disease diagnostics, specifically biosensors for nucleic acids and pathogenic microbes. We classify these strategies into target-based amplification and signal-based amplification. Target-based amplification strategies improve the LOD by increasing the number of detectable analytes, while signal-based amplification strategies increase the detectable signal by modifying the transducer system and keep the number of targets static. Finally, we argue that signal amplification strategies should be designed with application location and disease target in mind, and that the resources required to produce and operate the sensor should reflect its proposed application, especially when the platform is designed to be utilized in low-resource settings. We anticipate that, based on current technologies to diagnose infectious diseases, incorporating signal-based amplification strategies will enable electrochemical POC devices to be deployed for illnesses in a wide variety of settings.

Abstract
The spread of infectious diseases due to travel and trade can be seen throughout history, whether from early settlers or traveling businessmen. Increased globalization has allowed infectious diseases to quickly spread to different parts of the world and cause widespread infection. Posthoc analysis of more recent outbreaks-SARS, MERS, swine flu, and COVID-19-has demonstrated that the causative viruses were circulating through populations for days or weeks before they were first detected, allowing disease to spread before quarantines, contact tracing, and travel restrictions could be implemented. Earlier detection of future novel pathogens could decrease the time before countermeasures are enacted. In this Account, we examined a variety of novel technologies from the past 10 years that may allow for earlier detection of infectious diseases. We have arranged these technologies chronologically from pre-human predictive technologies to population-level screening tools. The earliest detection methods utilize artificial intelligence to analyze factors such as climate variation and zoonotic spillover as well as specific species and geographies to identify where the infection risk is high. Artificial intelligence can also be used to monitor health records, social media, and various publicly available data to identify disease outbreaks faster than traditional epidemiology. Secondary to predictive measures is monitoring infection in specific sentinel animal species, where domestic animals or wildlife are indicators of potential disease hotspots. These hotspots inform public health officials about geographic areas where infection risk in humans is high. Further along the timeline, once the disease has begun to infect humans, wastewater epidemiology can be used for unbiased sampling of large populations. This method has already been shown to precede spikes in COVID-19 diagnoses by 1 to 2 weeks. As total infections increase in humans, bioaerosol sampling in high-traffic areas can be used for disease monitoring, such as within an airport. Finally, as disease spreads more quickly between humans, rapid diagnostic technologies such as lateral flow assays and nucleic acid amplification become very important. Minimally invasive point-of-care methods can allow for quick adoption and use within a population. These individual diagnostic methods then transfer to higher-throughput methods for more intensive population screening as an infection spreads. There are many promising early warning technologies being developed. However, no single technology listed herein will prevent every future outbreak. A combination of technologies from across our infection timeline would offer the most benefit in preventing future widespread disease outbreaks and pandemics.

Abstract
The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has emphasized the importance of technologies to rapidly detect emerging pathogens and understand their interactions with hosts. Platforms based on the combination of biological recognition and electrochemical signal transduction, generally termed bioelectrochemical platforms, offer unique opportunities to both sense and study pathogens. Improved bio-based materials have enabled enhanced control over the biotic-abiotic interface in these systems. These improvements have generated platforms with the capability to elucidate biological function rather than simply detect targets. This advantage is a key feature of recent bioelectrochemical platforms applied to infectious disease. Here, we describe developments in materials for bioelectrochemical platforms to study and detect emerging pathogens. The incorporation of host membrane material into electrochemical devices has provided unparalleled insights into the interaction between viruses and host cells, and new capture methods have enabled the specific detection of bacterial pathogens, such as those that cause secondary infections with SARS-CoV-2. As these devices continue to improve through the merging of hi-tech materials and biomaterials, the scalability and commercial viability of these devices will similarly improve.

Abstract
Bacterial foodborne pathogens cause millions of illnesses each year and disproportionately impact those in developing countries. To combat these diseases and their spread, effective monitoring of foodborne pathogens is needed. Technologies to detect these microbes must be deployable at the point-of-contamination, often in nonideal environments. Electrochemical sensors are uniquely suited for field-deployable monitoring, as they are quantitative, rapid, and do not require expensive instrumentation. When combined with the inherent recognition capabilities of biomolecules, electrochemistry is unmatched for quantitative biological measurements with minimal equipment requirements. This Review is centered on recent advances in electrochemical sensors for the detection of bacterial foodborne pathogens with a specific emphasis on field-deployable platforms, as this is a key requirement of any technology that could effectively halt the spread of foodborne diseases. Innovative electrochemical sensing strategies are highlighted that demonstrate the ability of these technologies to achieve high sensitivity and large detection ranges with rapid readout. Sensing strategies are categorized on the basis of whether they incorporate biological pretreatments or biorecognition elements, and their key advantages and disadvantages are summarized. As this class of sensors continues to mature, methods to incorporate device specificity and to detect targets from complex solutions will enable the translation of these platforms from laboratory prototypes to real-world implementation.
