Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is ranked as the ninth most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately 570,000 new cases reported annually and over 200,000 deaths. Cystoscopy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of BC, however, its invasiveness, cost, and discomfort have driven the demand for the development of non-invasive, cost-effective alternatives. Nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) is a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool, having received FDA approval. Traditional methods for detecting NMP22 require a laboratory environment equipped with specialized equipment and trained personnel, thus, the development of NMP22 detection devices holds substantial potential for application. In this review, we evaluate the NMP22 sensors developed over the past decade, including electrochemical, colorimetric, and fluorescence biosensors. These sensors have enhanced detection sensitivity and overcome the limitations of existing diagnostic methods. However, many emerging devices exhibit deficiencies that limit their potential clinical use, therefore, we propose how sensor design can be optimized to enhance the likelihood of clinical translation and discuss the future applications of NMP22 as a legacy biomarker, providing insights for the design of new sensors.

Abstract
Advanced healthcare requires novel technologies capable of real-time sensing to monitor acute and long-term health. The challenge relies on converting a real-time quantitative biological and chemical signal into a desired measurable output. Given the success in detecting glucose and the commercialization of glucometers, electrochemical biosensors continue to be a mainstay of academic and industrial research activities. Despite the wealth of literature on electrochemical biosensors, reports are often specific to a particular application (e.g., pathogens, cancer markers, glucose, etc.), and most fail to convey the underlying strategy and design, and if it is transferable to detection of a different analyte. Here we present a tutorial review for those entering this research area that summarizes the basic electrochemical techniques utilized as well as discusses the designs and optimization strategies employed to improve sensitivity and maximize signal output.

Abstract
The convenient construction of carbon-based electrochemical immunosensors with high performance is highly desirable for the efficient detection of tumor biomarkers. In this work, an electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated by integrating a biofunctionalized mesoporous silica nanochannel film with a carbon-based electrode, which can enable the sensitive determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum. The commonly used carbonaceous electrode, glassy carbon electrode (GCE), was employed as the supporting electrode and was pre-treated through electrochemical polarization to achieve the stable binding of a vertically ordered mesoporous silica film with amino groups (NH2-VMSF) without the use of any adhesive layer. To fabricate the immunorecognition interface, antibodies were covalently immobilized after the amino groups on the outer surface of NH2-VMSF was derivatized to aldehyde groups. The presence of amino sites within the high-density nanochannels of NH2-VMSF can facilitate the migration of negatively charged redox probes (Fe(CN)63-/4-) to the supporting electrode through electrostatic adsorption, leading to the generation of electrochemical signals. In the presence of CEA, the formation of immunocomplexes on the recognitive interface can reduce the electrochemical signal of Fe(CN)63-/4- on the supporting electrode. Based on this principle, the sensitive electrochemical detection of CEA was achieved. CEA can be determined to range from 0.01 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection of 6.3 pg mL-1. The fabricated immunosensor exhibited high selectivity, and the detection of CEA in fetal bovine serum was achieved.

Abstract
Hollow and porous plasmonic nanomaterials have been demonstrated for highly sensitive biosensing applications due to their distinctive optical properties. Immunosensors, which rely on antibody-antigen interactions, are essential constituents of diverse biosensing platforms owing to their exceptional binding affinity and selectivity. The majority of immunosensors and conventional bioassays needs special storage conditions and cold chain systems for transportation. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a serine protease, is widely employed in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In this study, we present the successful utilization of a biopolymer-preserved plasmonic biosensor with improved environmental stability for the sensitive detection of PSA. The preserved plasmonic biosensors exhibited sustained sensitivity in the detection of PSA, achieving a limit of detection of 10 pg mL-1. Furthermore, these biosensors exhibited remarkable stability at elevated temperatures for one week.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are emerging facts used to deliver therapeutic agents in living systems. Nanotechnology is used as a compliment by implementing different kinds of nanotechnological applications such as nano-porous structures, functionalized nanomaterials, quantum dots, carbon nanomaterials, and polymeric nanostructures. The applications are in the initial stage, which led to achieving several diagnoses and therapy in clinical practice. This review conveys the importance of nanomaterials in post-genomic employment, which includes the design of immunosensors, immune assays, and drug delivery. In this view, genomics is a molecular tool containing large databases that are useful in choosing an apt molecular inhibitor such as drug, ligand and antibody target in the drug delivery process. This study identifies the expression of genes and proteins in analysis and classification of diseases. Experimentally, the study analyses the design of a disease model. In particular, drug delivery is a boon area to treat cancer. The identified drugs enter different phase trails (Trails I, II, and III). The genomic information conveys more essential entities to the phase I trials and helps to move further for other trails such as trails-II and III. In such cases, the biomarkers play a crucial role by monitoring the unique pathological process. Genetic engineering with recombinant DNA techniques can be employed to develop genetically engineered disease models. Delivering drugs in a specific area is one of the challenging issues achieved using nanoparticles. Therefore, genomics is considered as a vast molecular tool to identify drugs in personalized medicine for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Gliomas, a prevalent category of primary malignant brain tumors, pose formidable clinical challenges due to their invasive nature and limited treatment options. The current therapeutic landscape for gliomas is constrained by a "one-size-fits-all" paradigm, significantly restricting treatment efficacy. Despite the implementation of multimodal therapeutic strategies, survival rates remain disheartening. The conventional treatment approach, involving surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, grapples with substantial limitations, particularly in addressing the invasive nature of gliomas. Conventional diagnostic tools, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET), play pivotal roles in outlining tumor characteristics. However, they face limitations, such as poor biological specificity and challenges in distinguishing active tumor regions. The ongoing development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches represents a multifaceted and promising frontier in the battle against this challenging brain tumor. The aim of this comprehensive review is to address recent advances in diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches for gliomas. These innovations aim to minimize invasiveness while enabling the precise, multimodal targeting of localized gliomas. Researchers are actively developing new diagnostic tools, such as colorimetric techniques, electrochemical biosensors, optical coherence tomography, reflectometric interference spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and optical biosensors. These tools aim to regulate tumor progression and develop precise treatment methods for gliomas. Recent technological advancements, coupled with bioelectronic sensors, open avenues for new therapeutic modalities, minimizing invasiveness and enabling multimodal targeting with unprecedented precision. The next generation of multimodal therapeutic strategies holds potential for precision medicine, aiding the early detection and effective management of solid brain tumors. These innovations offer promise in adopting precision medicine methodologies, enabling early disease detection, and improving solid brain tumor management. This review comprehensively recognizes the critical role of pioneering therapeutic interventions, holding significant potential to revolutionize brain tumor therapeutics.

Abstract
Based on the designed inverted Y-shaped peptide and MXene nanocomposite (MXene-Au@ZIF-67), a ratiometric anti-pollution electrochemical biosensor was designed and applied to the detection of biomarkers in serum. Au@ZIF-67 inserted into the interior of MXene can not only prevent the accumulation of MXene but also provide a large amounts of binding sites for capturing biomolecules. A designed multifunctional Y-shaped peptide containing anchoring, antifouling, and recognition sequences was anchored onto MXene-Au@ZIF-67 through Au-S bonds. Electrochemical signal molecules, ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc) and methylene blue (MB), were modified to another end of multifunctional peptide and interior of MXene-Au@ZIF-67, respectively, to produce a ratiometric electrochemical signal. We selected prostate specific antigen (PSA) as the model compound. PSA specifically recognizes and cleaves the recognition segment in the Y-shaped peptide, and the signal of Fc is reduced, while the signal of MB remains unchanged. The ratiometric strategy endows the present biosensor high accuracy and sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.85 pg/mL. In addition, the sensing surface has good antifouling ability due to the antifouling sequence of the two branching parts of the Y-shaped peptide. More importantly, by replacing the recognition segment of peptides also other targets are accessible, indicating the potential application of the universal detection strategy to the detection of various biomarkers in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
With the continuous discovery and research of predictive cancer-related biomarkers, liquid biopsy shows great potential in cancer diagnosis. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and microfluidic technology have received much attention among the various cancer biomarker detection methods. The former has ultrahigh detection sensitivity and can provide a unique fingerprint. In contrast, the latter has the characteristics of miniaturization and integration, which can realize accurate control of the detection samples and high-throughput detection through design. Both have the potential for point-of-care testing (POCT), and their combination (lab-on-a-chip SERS (LoC-SERS)) shows good compatibility. In this paper, the basic situation of circulating proteins, circulating tumor cells, exosomes, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and microRNA (miRNA) in the diagnosis of various cancers is reviewed, and the detection research of these biomarkers by the LoC-SERS platform in recent years is described in detail. At the same time, the challenges and future development of the platform are discussed at the end of the review. Summarizing the current technology is expected to provide a reference for scholars engaged in related work and interested in this field.

Abstract
As a powerful tool for biological sensing, electrochemical biosensors have attracted much attention due to their ability to integrate biological recognition elements on an electrochemical interface and convert target analyte information into measurable electrochemical signals. Despite the abundance of literature published on the topic, no comprehensive surveys have been conducted to evaluate the area of electrochemical biosensors with bibliometric techniques. This paper employs VOSviewer to analyze and visualize literature from 2003 to 2023 in the Web of Science in order to gain an understanding of the development of the field of electrochemical biosensors in recent years. Co-occurrence and co-citation analysis are employed to identify research hotspots, trace evolutionary paths, and comprehend development trends in the field. Moreover, by analyzing highly cited and representative literature from different time periods, it is possible to recognize the major research hotspots and grasp the development pulse. The results of this study provide a comprehensive overview of the field of electrochemical biosensors and can be used to guide future research.

Abstract
In the present investigation, we reported a label-free and highly effective immunosensor for the first time employing a nanostructured molybdenum disulfide nanosheets@reduced graphene oxide (nMoS2 NS@rGO) nanohybrid interface for the determination of sperm protein 17 (Sp17), an emerging cancer biomarker. We synthesized the nMoS2 NS@rGO nanohybrid using a one-step hydrothermal technique and then functionalized it with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Furthermore, the anti-Sp17 monoclonal antibodies were covalently attached to the APTES/nMoS2 NS@rGO/indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode utilizing 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide-N-hydroxy succinimide (EDC-NHS) coupling chemistry. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was then used to block nonspecific binding regions on the anti-Sp17/APTES/nMoS2 NS@rGO/ITO bioelectrode. The morphological and structural features of the synthesized nanohybrid and the modified electrodes were studied using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) composition studies, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The immunoreaction between the Sp17 antigen and anti-Sp17 antibodies on the surface of the BSA/anti-Sp17/APTES/nMoS2 NS@rGO/ITO sensing bioelectrode was applied as the basis for the detection technique, which measured the electrocatalytic current and impedimetric response change. The designed BSA/anti-Sp17/APTES/nMoS2 NS@rGO/ITO bioelectrode showed improved amperometric and impedimetric biosensing performance in the response studies, including remarkable sensitivity (23.2 μA ng-1mL cm-2 and 0.48 kΩ mL ng-1 cm-2), wider linearity (0.05-8 and 1-8 ng mL-1), an excellent lower detection limit (0.13 and 0.23 ng mL-1), and a rapid response time of 20 min. The biosensor exhibited impressive storage durability lasting 7 weeks and showed remarkable precision in identifying Sp17 in serum samples from cancer patients, as confirmed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

Abstract
Background Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) of programmed-death-1 (PD-1) with pembrolizumab or nivolumab is approved for treating recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). NadiHN and ADRISK are phase IIB trials investigating in locally advanced (LA) HNSCC having low or high risk of recurrence the potential benefits from adding nivolumab to post-operative radiotherapy or pembrolizumab to cisplatin-based radio-chemotherapy. Methods Along five randomized controlled ICB trials including NadiHN and ADRISK, blood samples were taken before and after starting ICB in n=25 patients. Concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF), CCL2 (MCP-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and CXCL10 (IP-10) pre- and post-ICB in EDTA-anticoagulated plasma and serum were compared. We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to identify optimal cutoff for defining subgroups before analyzing overall survival (OS) applying Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariate Cox regression. Results We detected huge heterogeneity between cytokine patterns in pre-and post-ICB plasma and serum. We observed high correlation between concentrations of some cytokines. Despite absent systematic OS differences after ICB with pembrolizumab or nivolumab or between LA-HNSCC versus R/M HNSCC patients, we noticed improved outcome of patients having lower IFN-γ concentrations pre- and post-ICB and following ICB reduced concentrations of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 but not MCP-1. Contrarily, increases in IL-6, IL-8, and VEGF levels correlated with impaired outcome. Multivariate Cox regression revealed five independent OS predictors among cytokines; using natural logarithms of their hazard ratios to estimate an individual's risk of dying, three cytokine-expression pattern (CEP)-risk groups with no death within mean (95% confidence interval) follow-up of 29.2 (22.1-36.2) months and median OS of 11.3 (8.8-13.8) and 2.9 (0.4-5.4) months were found. Conclusion Whereas individual pre- or post-ICB cytokine concentrations in serum or plasma alone failed to predict the survivor group, CEP-risk groups may support the identification of individual patients with long-lasting benefit from ICB.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels with good affinity for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) using 4-(2-methacrylamidoethylaminomethyl) phenylboronic acid as a modifiable functional monomer for post-imprinting in-cavity modification of a fluorescent dye (F-Fc-MIP-NGs). A novel nanogel-based biotic/abiotic hybrid sandwich detection system for porcine serum albumin (PSA) was developed using F-Fc-MIP-NGs as an alternative to a secondary antibody for fluorescence detection and another molecularly imprinted polymer nanogel capable of recognizing PSA (PSA-MIP-NGs) as a capturing artificial antibody, along with a natural antibody toward PSA (Anti-PSA) that was used as a primary antibody. After incubation of PSA and Anti-PSA with F-Fc-MIP-NGs, the PSA/Anti-PSA/F-Fc-MIP-NGs complex was captured by immobilized PSA-MIP-NGs for fluorescence measurements. The analysis time was less than 30 min for detecting pork adulteration of 0.01 wt% in halal beef and lamb meats. The detection limit was comparable to that of frequently used immunoassays. Therefore, we believe that this method is a promising, sensitive, and rapid detection method for impurities in real samples and could be a simple, inexpensive, and rapid alternative to conventional methods that have cumbersome procedures of 4 hours or more.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a global health crisis, inflicting substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. A diverse range of symptoms, including fever, cough, dyspnea, and fatigue, characterizes COVID-19. A cytokine surge can exacerbate the disease's severity. This phenomenon involves an increased immune response, marked by the excessive release of inflammatory cytokines like IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and IFNγ, leading to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Efforts to reduce the cytokine surge and its associated complications have garnered significant attention. Standardized management protocols have incorporated treatment strategies, with corticosteroids, chloroquine, and intravenous immunoglobulin taking the forefront. The recent therapeutic intervention has also assisted in novel strategies like repurposing existing medications and the utilization of in vitro drug screening methods to choose effective molecules against viral infections. Beyond acute management, the significance of comprehensive post-COVID-19 management strategies, like remedial measures including nutritional guidance, multidisciplinary care, and follow-up, has become increasingly evident. As the understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis deepens, it is becoming increasingly evident that a tailored approach to therapy is imperative. This review focuses on effective treatment measures aimed at mitigating COVID-19 severity and highlights the significance of comprehensive COVID-19 management strategies that show promise in the battle against COVID-19.

Abstract
Quantifying multiple biomarkers with high sensitivity in tiny biological samples is essential to meet the growing demand for point-of-care testing. This paper reports the development of a novel microfluidic device integrated with mass-producible micropillar array electrodes (μAEs) for multiple biomarker detections. The μAE are mass-fabricated by soft lithography and hot embossing technique. Pt-Pd bimetallic nanoclusters (BNC) are modified on the surface of μAEs by constant potential (CP)/multi-potential step (MPS) electrodeposition strategies to improve the electroanalytical performance. The experimental result displays that Pt-Pd BNC/μAEs have good sensitivity enhancement compared with bare planar electrodes and bare μAEs, the enhancement being 56.5 and 9.5 times respectively, from the results of the H2O2 detection. Furthermore, glucose, uric acid and sarcosine were used as model biomarkers to show the biosensing capability with high sensitivity. The linear range and LOD of the glucose, uric acid and sarcosine detection are 0.1 mM-12 mM, 10 μM-800 μM and 2.5 μM-100 μM, 58.5, 3.4 and 0.4 μM, respectively. In particular, biosensing chips show wide linear ranges covering required detection ranges of glucose, uric acid and sarcosine in human serum, indicating the developed device has great potential in self-health management and clinical requirements.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors have shown great potential in clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental protection, and other fields. The feasible and innovative combination of enzyme catalysis and other signal-amplified elements has yielded exciting progress in the development of electrochemical immunosensors. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the most popularly used enzyme reporters in bioassays. It has been widely utilized to design electrochemical immunosensors owing to its significant advantages (e.g., high catalytic activity, high turnover number, and excellent substrate specificity). In this work, we summarized the achievements of electrochemical immunosensors with ALP as the signal reporter. We mainly focused on detection principles and signal amplification strategies and briefly discussed the challenges regarding how to further improve the performance of ALP-based immunoassays.

Abstract
Cancer, becoming increasingly common globally, has a high mortality rate. Despite the much research on diagnosis and treatment methods, the benefits of technological developments, and newly developed sensor devices, cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection using powerful and noninvasive tools could be a future focus for prognosis and treatment follow-up. Therefore, electrochemical biosensors can be a strong choice for the detection of cancer biomarkers (such as alpha-fetoprotein, cytochrome c, prostate-specific antigen, myoglobin, carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, a cancer antigen, epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor, circulating tumor cell, and breast cancer antigen 1/2) due to their advantages such as high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, low cost, short analysis time, and simplicity. Furthermore, electrochemical biosensors are better suited for point-of-care applications due to their mass production and miniaturization ease. This review provides an overview of different electrochemical measurement techniques, bioreceptor surfaces, signal production and amplification, and the integration of electrochemical-modified sensors. Cancer biomarkers based on electrochemical biosensors were given in detail. In addition, studies with MIP-based sensors and immunosensors have been extensively discussed. Integrating electrochemical biosensors with cancer biomarkers was also emphasized as a new research trend. Finally, we provide an overview of current advances in measuring and analyzing cancer biomarkers using electrochemical biosensors and detail current challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
Electrochemical Immunosensing (EI) combines electrochemical analysis and immunology principles and is characterized by its simplicity, rapid detection, high sensitivity, and specificity. EI has become an important approach in various fields, such as clinical diagnosis, disease prevention and treatment, environmental monitoring, and food safety. However, EI multi-component detection still faces two major bottlenecks: first, the lack of cost-effective and portable detection platforms; second, the difficulty in eliminating batch differences and accurately decoupling signals from multiple analytes. With the gradual maturation of biochip technology, high-throughput analysis and portable detection utilizing the advantages of miniaturized chips, high sensitivity, and low cost have become possible. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables accurate decoupling of signals and enhances the sensitivity and specificity of multi-component detection. We believe that by evaluating and analyzing the characteristics, benefits, and linkages of EI, biochip, and AI technologies, we may considerably accelerate the development of EI multi-component detection. Therefore, we propose three specific prospects: first, AI can enhance and optimize the performance of the EI biochips, addressing the issue of multi-component detection for portable platforms. Second, the AI-enhanced EI biochips can be widely applied in home care, medical healthcare, and other areas. Third, the cross-fusion and innovation of EI, biochip, and AI technologies will effectively solve key bottlenecks in biochip detection, promoting interdisciplinary development. However, challenges may arise from AI algorithms that are difficult to explain and limited data access. Nevertheless, we believe that with technological advances and further research, there will be more methods and technologies to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
Protein conjugates are commonly used in biochemistry, including diagnostic platforms such as antibody-based immunoassays. Antibodies can be bound to a variety of molecules creating conjugates with desirable functions, particularly for imaging and signal amplification. Cas12a is a recently discovered programable nuclease with the remarkable capability to amplify assay signals due to its trans-cleavage property. In this study, we directly conjugated antibody with Cas12a/gRNA ribonucleoprotein without the loss of function in either constituent. The conjugated antibody was suitable for immunoassays and the conjugated Cas12a was capable of amplifying the signal produced in an immunosensor without the need to change the original assay protocol. We applied the bi-functional antibody-Cas12a/gRNA conjugate to successfully detect two different types of targets, a whole pathogenic microorganism, Cryptosporidium, and a small protein, cytokine IFN-γ, with sensitivity reaching one single microorganism per sample and 10 fg/mL for IFN-γ, respectively. With simple substitution of the antibody conjugated with the Cas12a/gRNA RNP, this approach can potentially be applied to increase sensitivity of a variety of immunoassays for a broad range of different analytes.

Abstract
With the discovery of the collateral cleavage activity, CRISPR/Cas12a has recently been identified as a key enabling approach in novel DNA biosensor development. Despite its remarkable success in nucleic acid detection, realizing a universal CRISPR/Cas biosensing system for non-nucleic acid targets remains challenging, particularly at extremely high sensitivity ranges for analyte concentrations lower than the pM level. DNA aptamers can be designed to bind to a range of specific target molecules, such as proteins, small molecules, and cells, with high affinity and specificity through configuration changes. Here, by harnessing its diverse analyte-binding ability and also redirecting the specific DNA-cutting activity of Cas12a to selected aptamers, a simple, sensitive, and universal biosensing platform has been established, termed CRISPR/Cas and aptamer-mediated extra-sensitive assay (CAMERA). With simple modifications to the aptamer and guiding RNA of Cas12a RNP, CAMERA demonstrated 100 fM sensitivity for targeting small proteins, such as IFN-γ and insulin, with less than 1.5-h detection time. Compared with the gold-standard ELISA, CAMERA achieved higher sensitivity and a shorter detection time while retaining ELISA's simple setup. By replacing the antibody with an aptamer, CAMERA also achieved improved thermal stability, allowing to eliminate the requirement for cold storage. CAMERA shows potential to be used as a replacement for conventional ELISA for a variety of diagnostics but with no significant changes for the experimental setup.

Abstract
Mitochondria influence cellular function through both cell-autonomous and non-cell autonomous mechanisms, such as production of paracrine and endocrine factors. Here, we demonstrate that mitochondrial regulation of the secretome is more extensive than previously appreciated, as both genetic and pharmacological disruption of the electron transport chain caused upregulation of the Alzheimer's disease risk factor apolipoprotein E (APOE) and other secretome components. Indirect disruption of the electron transport chain by gene editing of SLC25A mitochondrial membrane transporters as well as direct genetic and pharmacological disruption of either complexes I, III, or the copper-containing complex IV of the electron transport chain elicited upregulation of APOE transcript, protein, and secretion, up to 49-fold. These APOE phenotypes were robustly expressed in diverse cell types and iPSC-derived human astrocytes as part of an inflammatory gene expression program. Moreover, age- and genotype-dependent decline in brain levels of respiratory complex I preceded an increase in APOE in the 5xFAD mouse model. We propose that mitochondria act as novel upstream regulators of APOE-dependent cellular processes in health and disease.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to greater recognition of the importance of the fast and timely detection of pathogens. Recent advances in point-of-care testing (POCT) technology have shown promising results for rapid diagnosis. Immunoassays are among the most extensive POCT assays, in which specific labels are used to indicate and amplify the immune signal. Nanoparticles (NPs) are above the rest because of their versatile properties. Much work has been devoted to NPs to find more efficient immunoassays. Herein, we comprehensively describe NP-based immunoassays with a focus on particle species and their specific applications. This review describes immunoassays along with key concepts surrounding their preparation and bioconjugation to show their defining role in immunosensors. The specific mechanisms, microfluidic immunoassays, electrochemical immunoassays (ELCAs), immunochromatographic assays (ICAs), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and microarrays are covered herein. For each mechanism, a working explanation of the appropriate background theory and formalism is articulated before examining the biosensing and related point-of-care (POC) utility. Given their maturity, some specific applications using different nanomaterials are discussed in more detail. Finally, we outline future challenges and perspectives to give a brief guideline for the development of appropriate platforms.

Abstract
Real-time detection of bio-event in whole animals provides essential information for understanding biological and therapeutic processes. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging represents a non-invasive approach to generating three-dimensional anatomic images with high spatial-temporal resolution and unlimited depth penetration. We have developed several self-immolative enzyme-activatable agents that provide excellent in vivo contrast and function as gene expression reporters. Here, we describe a vast improvement in image contrast over our previous generations of these bioresponsive agents based on a new pyridyl-carbamate Gd(III) complex. The pyridyl-carbamate-based agent has a very low MR relaxivity in the "off-state" (r1 = 1.8 mM-1 s-1 at 1.41 T). However, upon enzymatic processing, it generates a significantly higher relaxivity with a Δr1 = 106% versus Δr1 ∼ 20% reported previously. Single X-ray crystal and nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion analyses offer mechanistic insights regarding MR signal enhancement at the molecular scale. This work demonstrates a pyridyl-carbamate-based self-immolative molecular platform for the construction of enzymatic bio-responsive MR agents, which can be adapted to a wide range of other targets for exploring stimuli-responsive materials and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Tumor markers are important substances for assessing cancer development. In recent years, RNA tumor markers have attracted significant attention, and studies have shown that their abnormal expression of post-transcriptional regulatory genes is associated with tumor progression. Therefore, RNA tumor markers are considered as potential targets in clinical diagnosis and prognosis. Many studies show that biosensors have good application prospects in the field of medical diagnosis. The application of biosensors in RNA tumor markers is developing rapidly. These sensors have the advantages of high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and convenience. However, the detection abundance of RNA tumor markers is low. In order to improve the detection sensitivity, researchers have developed a variety of signal amplification strategies to enhance the detection signal. In this review, after a brief introduction of the sensing principles and designs of different biosensing platforms, we will summarize the latest research progress of electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, and fluorescent biosensors based on signal amplification strategies for detecting RNA tumor markers. This review provides a high sensitivity and good selectivity sensing platform for early-stage cancer research. It provides a new idea for the development of accurate, sensitive, and convenient biological analysis in the future, which can be used for the early diagnosis and monitoring of cancer and contribute to the reduction in the mortality rate.

Abstract
Biomolecule-conjugated metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been primarily used as colorimetric labels in affinity-based bioassays for point-of-care testing. A facile electrochemical detection scheme using a rapid nanocatalytic reaction of a metal NP label is required to achieve more quantitative and sensitive point-of-care testing. Moreover, all the involved components should be stable in their dried form and solution. This study developed a stable component set that allows for rapid and simple nanocatalytic reactions combined with electrochemical detection and applied it for the sensitive detection of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The component set consists of an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode, ferrocenemethanol (FcMeOH), antibody-conjugated Au NPs, and ammonia borane (AB). Despite being a strong reducing agent, AB is selected because it is stable in its dried form and solution. The slow direct reaction between FcMeOH+ and AB provides a low electrochemical background, and the rapid nanocatalytic reaction allows for a high electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, PTH could be quantified in a wide range of concentrations in artificial serum, with a detection limit of ~0.5 pg/mL. Clinical validation of the developed PTH immunosensor using real serum samples indicates that this novel electrochemical detection scheme is promising for quantitative and sensitive immunoassays for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide; therefore, there is an increased need for the discovery, development, optimization, and quantification of diagnostic biomarkers that can improve the disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic outcome. Circulating cell-free nucleic acids biomarkers such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) allow the characterization of the genetic features and screening breast cancer patients. Electrochemical biosensors offer excellent platforms for the detection of breast cancer biomarkers due to their high sensitivity and selectivity, low cost, use of small analyte volumes, and easy miniaturization. In this context, this article provides an exhaustive review concerning the electrochemical methods of characterization and quantification of different miRNAs and BRCA1 breast cancer biomarkers using electrochemical DNA biosensors based on the detection of hybridization events between a DNA or peptide nucleic acid probe and the target nucleic acid sequence. The fabrication approaches, the biosensors architectures, the signal amplification strategies, the detection techniques, and the key performance parameters, such as the linearity range and the limit of detection, were discussed.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) are powerful platforms for point-of-need testing since they are inexpensive devices fabricated in different shapes and miniaturized sizes, ensuring better portability. Additionally, the readout and detection systems can be accomplished with portable devices, allying with the features of both systems. These devices have been introduced as promising analytical platforms to meet critical demands involving rapid, reliable, and simple testing. They have been applied to monitor species related to environmental, health, and food issues. Herein, an outline of chronological events involving PADs is first reported. This work also introduces insights into fundamental parameters to engineer new analytical platforms, including the paper type and device operation. The discussions involve the main analytical techniques used as detection systems, such as colorimetry, fluorescence, and electrochemistry. It also showed recent advances involving PADs, especially combining optical and electrochemical detection into a single device. Dual/combined detection systems can overcome individual barriers of the analytical techniques, making possible simultaneous determinations, or enhancing the devices' sensitivity and/or selectivity. In addition, this review reports on distance-based detection, which is also considered a trend in analytical chemistry. Distance-based detection offers instrument-free analyses and avoids user interpretation errors, which are outstanding features for analyses at the point of need, especially for resource-limited regions. Finally, this review provides a critical overview of the practical specifications of the recent analytical platforms involving PADs, demonstrating their challenges. Therefore, this work can be a highly useful reference for new research and innovation.

Abstract
The dynamic interplay of nanotechnology and immunoassay has unlocked an arena for developing next-generation techniques to contribute to detecting disease biomarkers. Herein, the work establishes the strategic fabrication of an immunosensor by sandwich technique based on the fluorescence phenomenon of carbon dots for the detection of the disease biomarker VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor). VEGF, a biomarker for angiogenesis, is considered cancerous if found in elevated levels in the blood, and so is paramount for early detection of disease. Carbon dots derived from a biogenic source were synthesized employing a green microwave-assisted method followed by conjugating with a detection antibody, human immunoglobulin G (IgG), via EDC-NHS amidation reaction. On the other hand, the VEGF biomarker was immobilized onto the capture antibody. The detection antibody tagged with the fluorescent probe is employed as a bridge to connect with the VEGF biomarkers bound to the capture antibody. The response to different concentrations of VEGF biomarkers was recorded in terms of the fluorescence intensity of the carbon dots. The fluorescence immunosensor could exhibit a wide linear range of 0.1 fg/mL to 10 pg/mL with a low detection limit of 5.65 pg/mL towards VEGF. The potentiality of this designed immunosensor was qualitatively assessed with human blood plasma samples, showing promising results, thereby upholding the applicability of carbon dots as fluorescent labels in immunoassay techniques.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel detection technique for tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been developed by using a solid-state nanopore as a tool. The system utilizes the specific affinity between aptamer-modified magnetic Fe3O4 and CEA, rather than directly detecting the translocation of CEA through the nanopore. The aptamer-modified magnetic Fe3O4 was hybridized with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs), and TDNs were released after CEA was added. We investigate the translocation behavior of individual TDNs through solid-state nanopores. The frequency of the blockage signals for TDNs is recorded for indirect detection of CEA. We realized the detection of CEA with a concentration as low as 0.1 nM and proved the specificity of the interaction between the aptamer. In addition, our designed nanopore sensing strategy can detect CEA in real samples.

Abstract
Extracellular tissue fluids are interesting biomatrices that have recently attracted scientists' interest. Many significant biomarkers for localized external organ diseases have been isolated from this biofluid. In the diagnostic and disease monitoring context, measuring biochemical entities from the fluids surrounding the diseased tissues may give more important clinical value than measuring them at a systemic level. Despite all these facts, pushing tissue fluid-based diagnosis and monitoring forward to clinical settings faces one major problem: its accessibility. Most extracellular tissue fluid, such as interstitial fluid (ISF), is abundant but hard to collect, and the currently available technologies are invasive and expensive. This is where novel microneedle technology can help tackle this significant obstacle. The ability of microneedle technology to minimally invasively access tissue fluid-containing biomarkers will enable ISF and other tissue fluid utilization in the clinical diagnosis and monitoring of localized diseases. This review attempts to present the current pursuit of the application of microneedle systems as a diagnostic and monitoring platform, along with the recent progress of biomarker detection in diagnosing and monitoring localized external organ diseases. Then, the potential use of various microneedles in future clinical diagnostics and monitoring of localized diseases is discussed by presenting the currently studied cases.

Abstract
Here, we report a highly sensitive and reliable surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay using bimetallic alloy Ag@Au hollow dual-rim nanorings (DRNs) where two hollow nanorings with different diameters are concentrically overlapped and connected by thin metal ligaments, forming circular hot-zones in the intra-nanogaps between the inner and outer rims. Pt DRNs were first prepared, and then Ag was deposited on the surface of the Pt skeleton, followed by Au coating, resulting in alloy Ag@Au hollow DRNs. The chemical stability of Au and the high optical properties of Ag are incorporated into a single entity, Ag@Au hollow DRNs, enabling strong single-particle SERS activity and biocompatibility through surface modification with thiol-containing functionalities. When Ag@Au hollow DRNs were utilized as nanoprobes for detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) hormone through a SERS-based immunoassay, a very low limit of detection of 10 pM with high reliability was achieved, strongly indicating their advantage as ultrasensitive SERS nanoprobes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem resulting from islet dysfunction or insulin resistance. The mechanisms of islet dysfunction are still under investigation. Islet hormone secretion is the main function of islets, and serves an important role in the homeostasis of blood glucose. Elucidating the detailed mechanism of islet hormone secretome distortion can provide clues for the treatment of diabetes. Therefore, it is crucial to develop accurate, real-time, labor-saving, high-throughput, automated, and cost-effective techniques for the sensing of islet secretome. Microfluidic chips, an elegant platform that combines biology, engineering, computer science, and biomaterials, have attracted tremendous interest from scientists in the field of diabetes worldwide. These tiny devices are miniatures of traditional experimental systems with more advantages of time-saving, reagent-minimization, automation, high-throughput, and online detection. These features of microfluidic chips meet the demands of islet secretome analysis and a variety of chips have been designed in the past 20 years. In this review, we present a brief introduction of microfluidic chips, and three microfluidic chips-based islet hormone sensing techniques. We focus mainly on the theory of these techniques, and provide detailed examples based on these theories with the hope of providing some insights into the design of future chips or whole detection systems.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most expensive and common malignancies in the urinary system due to its high progression and recurrence rate. Although there are various methods, including cystoscopy, biopsy, and cytology, that have become the standard diagnosis methods for BCa, their intrinsic invasive and inaccurate properties need to be overcome. The novel urine cancer biomarkers are assisted by nanomaterials-based biosensors, such as field-effect transistors (FETs) with high sensitivity and specificity, which may provide solutions to these problems. In addition, nanomaterials can be applied for the advancement of next-generation optical imaging techniques and the contrast agents of conventional techniques; for example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of BCa. Regarding BCa therapy, nanocarriers, including mucoadhesive nanoparticles and other polymeric nanoparticles, successfully overcome the disadvantages of conventional intravesical instillation and improve the efficacy and safety of intravesical chemotherapy for BCa. Aside from chemotherapy, nanomedicine-based novel therapies, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and combination therapy, have afforded us new ways to provide BC therapy and hope, which can be translated into the clinic. In addition, nanomotors and the nanomaterials-based solid tumor disassociation strategy provide new ideas for future research. Here, the advances in BCa diagnosis and therapy mentioned above are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
The development of efficient point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tools for detecting infectious diseases caused by destructive pathogens plays an important role in clinical and environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, evolving complex and inconsistent antibiotic-resistant species mire their drug efficacy. In this regard, substantial effort has been expended to develop electrochemical sensors, which have gained significant interest for advancing POC testing with rapid and accurate detection of resistant bacteria at a low cost compared to conventional phenotype methods. This review concentrates on the recent developments in electrochemical sensing techniques that have been applied to assess the diverse latent antibiotic resistances of pathogenic bacteria. It deliberates the prominence of biorecognition probes and tailor-made nanomaterials used in electrochemical antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). In addition, the bimodal functional efficacy of nanomaterials that can serve as potential transducer electrodes and the antimicrobial agent was investigated to meet the current requirements in designing sensor module development. In the final section, we discuss the challenges with contemporary AST sensor techniques and extend the key ideas to meet the demands of the next POC electrochemical sensors and antibiotic design modules in the healthcare sector.

Abstract
Worldwide, lung cancer (LC) is the most common cause of cancer death, and any delay in the detection of new and relapsed disease serves as a major factor for a significant proportion of LC morbidity and mortality. Though invasive methods such as tissue biopsy are considered the gold standard for diagnosis and disease monitoring, they have several limitations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify and validate non-invasive biomarkers for the early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of lung cancer for improved patient management. Despite recent progress in the identification of non-invasive biomarkers, currently, there is a shortage of reliable and accessible biomarkers demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity for LC detection. In this review, we aim to cover the latest developments in the field, including the utility of biomarkers that are currently used in LC screening and diagnosis. We comment on their limitations and summarise the findings and developmental stages of potential molecular contenders such as microRNAs, circulating tumour DNA, and methylation markers. Furthermore, we summarise research challenges in the development of biomarkers used for screening purposes and the potential clinical applications of newly discovered biomarkers.

Abstract
Micro and nano interdigitated electrode array (µ/n-IDEA) configurations are prominent working electrodes in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors/biosensors, as their design benefits sensor achievement. This paper reviews µ/n-IDEA as working electrodes in four-electrode electrochemical sensors in terms of two-dimensional (2D) planar IDEA and three-dimensional (3D) IDEA configurations using carbon or metal as the starting materials. In this regard, the enhancement of IDEAs-based biosensors focuses on controlling the width and gap measurements between the adjacent fingers and increases the IDEA's height. Several distinctive methods used to expand the surface area of 3D IDEAs, such as a unique 3D IDEA design, integration of mesh, microchannel, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT), and nanoparticles, are demonstrated and discussed. More notably, the conventional four-electrode system, consisting of reference and counter electrodes will be compared to the highly novel two-electrode system that adopts IDEA's shape. Compared to the 2D planar IDEA, the expansion of the surface area in 3D IDEAs demonstrated significant changes in the performance of electrochemical sensors. Furthermore, the challenges faced by current IDEAs-based electrochemical biosensors and their potential solutions for future directions are presented herein.

Abstract
Biomarker measurements are essential for the early diagnosis of complex diseases. However, many current biomarker assays lack sensitivity and multiplexing capacity, work in a narrow detection range and importantly lack real time quality control opportunities, which hampers clinical translation. In this paper, we demonstrate a toolbox to kinetically characterize a biomarker measurement assay using Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) with ample opportunities for real time quality control by exploiting quantitative descriptions of the various biomolecular interactions. We show an accurate prediction of SPRi measurements at both low and high concentrations of various analytes with deviations <5% between actual measurements and predicted measurement. The biphasic binding sites model was accurate for fitting the experimental curves and enables optimal detection of heterophilic antibodies, cross-reactivity, spotting irregularities and/or other confounders. The toolbox can also be used to create a (simulated) calibration curve, enabling calibration-free measurements with good recovery, it allows for easy assay optimizations, and could help bridge the gap to bring new biomarker assays to the clinic.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is widely-known as the most commonly used protein biomarker for liver cancer diagnosis at the early stage. Therefore, developing the highly sensitive and reliable method of AFP detection is of essential demand for practical applications. Herein, two types of aptamer-based AFP detection methods, i.e., optical and electrochemical biosensors, are reviewed in detail. The optical biosensors include Raman spectroscopy, dual-polarization interferometry, resonance light-scattering, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence. The electrochemical biosensors include cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and giant magnetic impedance. Looking into the future, methods for AFP detection that are high sensitivity, long-term stability, low cost, and operation convenience will continue to be developed.

Abstract
The current levels of breast cancer in African women have contributed to the high mortality rates among them. In South Africa, the incidence of breast cancer is also on the rise due to changes in behavioural and biological risk factors. Such low survival rates can be attributed to the late diagnosis of the disease due to a lack of access and the high costs of the current diagnostic tools. Breast cancer is asymptomatic at early stages, which is the best time to detect it and intervene to prevent high mortality rates. Proper risk assessment, campaigns, and access to adequate healthcare need to be prioritised among patients at an early stage. Early detection of breast cancer can significantly improve the survival rate of breast cancer patients, since therapeutic strategies are more effective at this stage. Early detection of breast cancer can be achieved by developing devices that are simple, sensitive, low-cost, and employed at point-of-care (POC), especially in low-income countries (LICs). Nucleic-acid-based lateral flow assays (NABLFAs) that combine molecular detection with the immunochemical visualisation principles, have recently emerged as tools for disease diagnosis, even for low biomarker concentrations. Detection of circulating genetic biomarkers in non-invasively collected biological fluids with NABLFAs presents an appealing and suitable method for POC testing in resource-limited regions and/or LICs. Diagnosis of breast cancer at an early stage will improve the survival rates of the patients. This review covers the analysis of the current state of NABLFA technologies used in developing countries to reduce the scourge of breast cancer.

Abstract
A label-free impedimetric immunosensing system was constructed for ultrasensitive determination of the calreticulin (CALR) biological marker in human serum samples utilizing an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis technique for the first time. The new biosensor fabrication procedure consisted of electrodeposition of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) incorporating polymerization of an oxiran-2-yl methyl 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl) propanoate monomer (Pepx) onto a low-cost and disposable indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The SWCNTs-PPepx nanocomposite layer was prepared onto the ITO after the one-step fabrication procedure. The fabrication procedure of the immunosensor and the characteristic biomolecular interactions between the anti-CALR and CALR were characterized by electrochemical analysis and morphological monitoring techniques. Under optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor was responsive to CALR concentrations over the detection ranges of 0.015-60 pg/mL linearly, and it had a very low detection limit (4.6 fg/mL) and a favorable sensitivity (0.43 kΩ pg-1 mL cm-2). The reliability of the biosensor system in clinical analysis was investigated by successful quantification of CALR levels in human serum. Moreover, the repeatability and reproducibility results of the biosensor were evaluated by using Dixon, Grubbs, T-test, and F-tests. Consequently, the proposed biosensor was a promising method for scientific, rapid, and successful analysis of CALR in human serum samples.

Abstract
Because β-2-microglobulin (β2M) is a surface protein that is present on most nucleated cells, it plays a key role in the human immune system and the kidney glomeruli to regulate homeostasis. The primary clinical significance of β2M is in dialysis-related amyloidosis, a complication of end-stage renal disease caused by a gradual accumulation of β2M in the blood. Therefore, the function of β2M in kidney-related diseases has been extensively studied to evaluate its glomerular and tubular functions. Because increased β2M shedding due to rapid cell turnover may indicate other underlying medical conditions, the possibility to use β2M as a versatile biomarker rose in prominence across multiple disciplines for various applications. Therefore, this work has reviewed the recent use of β2M to detect various diseases and its progress as a biomarker. While the use of state-of-the-art β2M detection requires sophisticated tools, high maintenance, and labor cost, this work also has reported the use of biosensor to quantify β2M over the past decade. It is hoped that a portable and highly efficient β2M biosensor device will soon be incorporated in point-of-care testing to provide safe, rapid, and reliable test results.

Abstract
African chironomid (Polypedilum vanderplanki) larvae can suspend their metabolism by undergoing severe desiccation and then resume this activity by simple rehydration. We present a microdevice using interdigital comb electrodes to detect the larval motion using the natural surface charge of the living larvae in water. The larvae were most active 2 h after soaking them in water at 30°C; they exhibited motions with 2 Hz frequency. This was comparable to the signal obtained from the microdevice via fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing. The amplitude of the voltage and current were 0.11 mV and 730 nA, respectively. They would be enough to be detected by a low power consumption microcomputer. Temperature and pH sensing were demonstrated by detecting the vital motions of the revived larvae under different conditions. This multi-functional biosensor will be a useful microdevice to search for survivable locations under extreme environmental conditions like those on other planets. A biosensor using anhydrobiotic chironomid larva was created Interdigital comb electrodes were fabricated to detect the larvae motion Multi-parameters such as temperature or pH can be detected The device can search survivable locations under extreme environmental conditions

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines have been reported to alter the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with the tumor in accordance with their plasma concentrations. Here, we aimed to identify the key cytokines which influenced the responses and stimulated resistance to ICIs and tried to improve immunological response and develop novel clinical treatments in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The promising predictive cytokines were analyzed via the multi-analyte flow assay. Next, we explored the correlation baseline level of plasma cytokines and clinical outcomes in 45 NSCLC patients treated with ICIs. The mechanism of the potential candidate cytokine in predicting response and inducing resistance to ICIs was then investigated. RESULTS We found NSCLC with a low baseline concentration of IL-6 in plasma specimens or tumor tissues could derive more benefit from ICIs based on the patient cohort. Further analyses revealed that a favorable relationship between PD-L1 and IL-6 expression was seen in NSCLC specimens. Results in vitro showed that PD-L1 expression in the tumor was enhanced by IL-6 via the JAK1/Stat3 pathway, which induced immune evasion. Notably, an adverse correlation was found between IL-6 levels and CD8+ T cells. And a positive association between IL-6 levels and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, M2 macrophages and regulator T cells was also seen in tumor samples, which may result in an inferior response to ICIs. Results of murine models of NSCLC suggested that the dual blockade of IL-6 and PD-L1 attenuated tumor growth. Further analyses detected that the inhibitor of IL-6 stimulated the infiltration of CD8+ T cells and yielded the inflammatory phenotype. CONCLUSIONS This study elucidated the role of baseline IL-6 levels in predicting the responses and promoting resistance to immunotherapy in patients with NSCLC. Our results indicated that the treatment targeting IL-6 may be beneficial for ICIs in NSCLC.
