Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by impaired glucose regulation due to insufficient insulin secretion or cellular resistance to insulin. Although insulin is the primary regulatory molecule, glucose remains the most monitored biomarker despite its high variability. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a more stable marker with a longer half-life, provides a comprehensive assessment of long-term glycemic control. Simultaneous measurement of HbA1c and insulin would offer enhanced insight for DM management. In this study, we present a label-free electrochemical biosensor capable of simultaneously quantifying HbA1c and insulin using a single drop of blood. The device integrates dual screen-printed carbon electrodes functionalized with palladium nanostructures (PdNS), allowing covalent immobilization of anti-HbA1c and anti-insulin antibodies on WE1 and WE2, respectively. Upon incubation with a pretreated blood sample and introduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) serving as the measuring solution, amperometric signals were generated: oxidation of the heme group in HbA1c at WE1, and suppression of current at WE2 due to insulin interference. All concentrations were quantified based on current responses to the measuring solution. The biosensor demonstrated excellent analytical performance, including high sensitivity (R2 > 0.96), selectivity (>95 %), long-term stability (>95 % over 120 days), and operational efficiency, as confirmed through standard and whole blood sample analysis. This is the first disposable point-of-care (POC) device that enables dual detection of HbA1c and insulin on a single chip, offering a practical and comprehensive tool for real-time DM monitoring and personalized disease management.
糖尿病(DM)的特点是由于胰岛素分泌不足或细胞对胰岛素的抵抗而导致葡萄糖调节功能受损。虽然胰岛素是主要的调节分子,但葡萄糖仍然是最受监测的生物标志物,尽管它具有很高的可变性。糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)是一种更稳定、半衰期更长的标志物,可以全面评估长期血糖控制情况。同时测量HbA1c和胰岛素将为糖尿病的管理提供更好的见解。在这项研究中,我们提出了一种无标记的电化学生物传感器,能够使用一滴血同时定量HbA1c和胰岛素。该装置集成了用钯纳米结构(pdn)功能化的双丝网印刷碳电极,可以分别在WE1和WE2上共价固定抗hba1c和抗胰岛素抗体。经预处理的血样孵育后,引入过氧化氢(h2o2)作为测量溶液,产生电流信号:糖化血红蛋白血红素组在WE1处氧化,胰岛素干扰导致WE2处电流抑制。根据对测量溶液的电流反应对所有浓度进行量化。该生物传感器具有优异的分析性能,包括高灵敏度(R2 >;0.96),选择性(> 95%),长期稳定性(>; 95%超过120天)和操作效率,通过标准品和全血样本分析证实。这是第一个一次性的即时护理(POC)设备,可以在单个芯片上双重检测HbA1c和胰岛素,为实时监测糖尿病和个性化疾病管理提供了实用而全面的工具。

Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, a condition resulting from insufficient or impaired insulin secretion and utilization. As the global prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology has emerged as a key solution. The flexible electrode design and ‘‘24/7′’ coverage of CGM systems address the discomfort associated with traditional Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM), reducing the need for frequent fingertip punctures and improving patient compliance. The shift from BGM to CGM technology can be attributed to significant advancements in electrode design, material selection, and sensor performance. This paper reviews recent advancements in CGM systems, focusing on the principles of the four sensor generations, core sensing technologies, outer membrane design, and key performance indicators. Finally, this paper provides a summary and outlook on future research directions in CGM sensors development.

The chemosensor, 2-(10-hydroxybenzo [h]quinolin-9-yl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (SP55) was successfully synthesized in a two-step synthesis reaction and confirmed through characterisation techniques like NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR, and HR-MS. For the optical experiments, the ligands were solubilized with a solvent mixture of (8:2) acetonitrile and water, whereas the cation salts were dissolved in water. The absorption studies ensure sensitivity only to Ru3+, Ir3+, Th4+, and uranyl nitrate (UO22+), compared to other cations. The absorption and emission tests indicated that the emission intensified on adding Ru3+, Ir3+, Th4+, and uranyl nitrate (UO22+) ions with blue shift and absorption also intensified but with red shift The limit of detection (LoD) was 0.44 nM for Ru3+, 2.35 nM for Ir3+, 1.64 nM for Th4+, and 1.99 nM for UO22+. The complex formation between the sensor and metals was confirmed using FT-IR, HR-MS, Job's plot, DFT, and 1H NMR titration analyses. Furthermore, we used the SP55 chemosensor to detect Ru3+, Ir3+, Th4+, and uranyl nitrate (UO22+) in environmental water samples.

Affinity receptors have played a pivotal role in advancing bioanalysis, primarily for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, thanks to their high selectivity toward target molecules, which enables their use in complex biofluids. While antibodies remain the gold standard, ongoing research has explored alternative receptors with improved stability, reduced size, and enhanced performance in bioanalytical and clinical applications. This works traces the evolution of affinity receptors from classical antibodies to emerging biomimetic and synthetic alternatives, including affibodies, nanobodies, aptamers, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). We highlight their molecular features, advantages, and limitations, emphasizing their use as part of the molecular toolbox for bioanalytical assay development and biosensing. Overall, the continuous diversification of affinity binders reflects the dynamic nature of this field, where the optimal receptor remains context dependent. For this reason, the research into new binders to complement or eventually replace antibodies that, for the moment, remain the choice for high-throughput applications, is still ongoing.
亲和受体在推进生物分析方面发挥了关键作用,主要用于诊断和治疗目的,这要归功于它们对目标分子的高选择性,这使得它们能够在复杂的生物流体中使用。虽然抗体仍然是金标准,但正在进行的研究已经探索了在生物分析和临床应用中具有更高稳定性、更小尺寸和更高性能的替代受体。这项工作追溯亲和受体的进化,从经典抗体到新兴的仿生和合成替代品,包括粘附体、纳米体、适体和分子印迹聚合物(MIPs)。我们强调了它们的分子特征、优势和局限性,强调了它们作为生物分析测定开发和生物传感分子工具箱的一部分的用途。总的来说,亲和结合物的不断多样化反映了这一领域的动态性质,其中最佳受体仍然依赖于上下文。由于这个原因,研究新的结合物来补充或最终取代抗体,目前,抗体仍然是高通量应用的选择,仍在进行中。

Nucleic acids serve as specific, selective, and sensitive components in molecular diagnostics, offering efficient and high-precision results. Unlike DNA, RNA expression reflects real-time cellular activity, allowing for the monitoring of disease progression, treatment response, or environmental influences. This makes RNA a superior biomarker due to its ability to enable early disease detection, provide higher specificity, allow non-invasive sampling, and offer high sensitivity for low-abundance targets. RNA-based biosensor innovations hold significant potential for detecting genetic diseases, such as cancer, and preventing viral infections. Electrochemical biosensors have become a fast and efficient alternative to gold-standard diagnostic methods, offering simplicity, rapid response, and suitability for clinical use, including point-of-care applications. Recent advancements have integrated the CRISPR-Cas13a system with electrochemical biosensors to enhance RNA detection sensitivity and specificity. The CRISPR-Cas system, an adaptive immune mechanism in bacteria, has been widely utilized for diagnostics. Cas13a is superior to other Cas proteins for RNA detection due to its high specificity, inherent signal amplification, and ability to detect low-abundance RNA without requiring reverse transcription or amplification steps. This review summarized recent progression of CRISPR/Cas 13a and its combination with electrochemical technique, including electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) methods. The principles and advantages of CRISPR/Cas13a, electrochemical, ECL, and PEC technique for RNA detection are described. In electrochemical-based biosensors, Cas13a recognizes and binds to the target ssRNA, triggering its trans-cleavage activity, which indiscriminately cuts nearby RNA reporters. This process alters the electrochemical signal, enabling selective and sensitive RNA detection. Finally, several examples of CRISPR/Cas13a-based electrochemical biosensors are discussed, highlighting their potential as molecular diagnostic tools for RNA detection and emphasizing their advantages in sensitivity, specificity, and rapid detection capabilities.

核酸在分子诊断中具有特异性、选择性和敏感性,可提供高效、高精度的结果。与DNA不同,RNA表达反映了实时细胞活动,允许监测疾病进展、治疗反应或环境影响。这使得RNA成为一种优越的生物标志物,因为它能够实现早期疾病检测,提供更高的特异性,允许非侵入性采样,并对低丰度靶点提供高灵敏度。基于rna的生物传感器创新在检测遗传疾病(如癌症)和预防病毒感染方面具有巨大的潜力。电化学生物传感器已经成为一种快速有效的替代金标准诊断方法,提供简单,快速反应和适合临床使用,包括护理点应用。最近的进展是将CRISPR-Cas13a系统与电化学生物传感器相结合,以提高RNA检测的灵敏度和特异性。CRISPR-Cas系统是细菌的一种适应性免疫机制,已广泛应用于诊断。Cas13a在RNA检测方面优于其他Cas蛋白,因为它具有高特异性,固有的信号扩增能力,无需逆转录或扩增步骤即可检测低丰度RNA。本文综述了CRISPR/ cas13a及其与电化学技术结合的最新进展,包括电化学发光(ECL)和光电化学(PEC)方法。介绍了CRISPR/Cas13a、电化学、ECL和PEC技术用于RNA检测的原理和优点。在基于电化学的生物传感器中,Cas13a识别并结合目标ssRNA,触发其反式切割活性,不加选择地切割附近的RNA报告蛋白。这一过程改变了电化学信号,实现了选择性和敏感的RNA检测。最后,讨论了几个基于CRISPR/ cas13的电化学生物传感器的例子,强调了它们作为RNA检测分子诊断工具的潜力,并强调了它们在灵敏度、特异性和快速检测能力方面的优势。©2012 Elsevier Ltd.出版由环球科技论坛私人有限公司负责甄选及/或同行评审

Moisture-thermo dual-responsive hydrogel structure for liquid composition change detection and programmed actuation via vertical crosslinking gradient based defocusing photolithography 基于垂直交联梯度离焦光刻的液体成分变化检测和程序驱动的湿热双响应水凝胶结构

Multifarious detection and response mechanisms have been introduced and implemented because responsive materials, particularly hydrogel polymers, adopt certain transformations by external reactions and recover their original appearance. Heterogeneous structures are usually fabricated to obtain responsive hydrogels. In addition, component frame gradation methods have been applied to overcome the limitations of material composition. In this study, we present versatile responsive hydrogel structures that perform as sensor or actuator. The structures are fabricated using a defocusing maskless photolithography system with an objective lens, and consist of a single hydrogel-retained polymeric crosslinking density gradient. The hydrogel structures immersed in anhydrous hygroscopic solutions fail to swell, thereby maintaining their curved shapes. The solutions, improperly stored and left unattended, naturally absorb ambient moisture, and the resulting increase in water content enhances water–polymer interactions proportionally. This enhanced interaction induces swelling of the hydrogel, leading to curvature changes, enabling the structure to function as a sensor for detecting changes in liquid composition. By utilizing the structure, a change in moisture content of approximately 3% is easily verified without mechanical assistance. In contrast, temperature-dependent property changes in ethanol solutions with minimal water content predominantly affect solution–polymer interactions rather than polymer–polymer interactions. Reversible structural responses of the hydrogel are analyzed under repeated thermal cycling, and actuators such as a gripper and walking robot operating via thermal switching are successfully developed.
由于反应性材料,特别是水凝胶聚合物,通过外部反应发生一定的转变,并恢复其原始外观,各种检测和响应机制已经被引入和实施。通常制备非均相结构以获得反应性水凝胶。此外,还应用了组件框架分级方法来克服材料组成的局限性。在这项研究中,我们提出了多功能响应水凝胶结构,作为传感器或执行器。该结构是使用带有物镜的散焦无掩膜光刻系统制造的,并且由单个水凝胶保留的聚合物交联密度梯度组成。浸入无水吸湿溶液中的水凝胶结构不会膨胀,从而保持其弯曲形状。这些溶液如果储存不当或无人看管,就会自然地吸收周围的水分,从而导致水含量的增加,成比例地增强了水-聚合物的相互作用。这种增强的相互作用诱导水凝胶膨胀,导致曲率变化,使该结构能够作为检测液体成分变化的传感器。通过利用这种结构,在没有机械辅助的情况下,可以很容易地验证大约3%的水分含量变化。相反,在最小含水量的乙醇溶液中,温度依赖的性质变化主要影响溶液-聚合物相互作用,而不是聚合物-聚合物相互作用。分析了水凝胶在反复热循环下的可逆结构响应,并成功研制出了热开关驱动的抓手和步行机器人等作动器。

Reversible structural responses of the hydrogel are analyzed under repeated thermal cycling, and actuators such as a gripper and walking robot operating via thermal switching are successfully developed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":426,"journal":{"name":"Sensors and Actuators Reports","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100356"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144548422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though considerable efforts are focusing on the development of different types of sensors for platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) determination, few of these approaches can achieve cost-effective, rapid, and sensitive detecting PDGF-BB by naked eye. Herein, we developed a novel, cost-effective, label-free and robust sensor based on split aptamer recognition and proximity-induced formation of G-quadruplex DNAzyme for rapid and visual detection of PDGF-BB. The two segments of constructed sensor, termed as split aptazyme (SA), were separated in the absence of PDGF-BB, but effectively assemble after binding the target to form DNAzyme structure that could catalyze the H2O2-mediated oxidation of 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid, generating a dark green color within 5 min which could be observed by naked eye. Notably, the SA demonstrated here showed a wide linear response to PDGF-BB from 0 to 500 nM in bio-samples with a limit of detection as low as 0.7 nM. Therefore, we believe that such an approach should be readily applicable for on-site visual detection of PDGF-BB for cancer monitoring and diagnosis. The newly developed SA strategy also offers attractive universal sensing platforms for rapid and visual detection of other protein biomarkers that only have one binding site.
尽管人们在开发不同类型的血小板衍生生长因子BB (PDGF-BB)检测传感器方面付出了相当大的努力,但这些方法中很少能实现成本效益高、快速、灵敏的裸眼检测PDGF-BB。在此,我们开发了一种新型的、经济高效的、无标签的、鲁棒的传感器,该传感器基于分裂适体识别和邻近诱导形成g -四重DNAzyme,用于快速和视觉检测PDGF-BB。构建的传感器的两个片段称为分裂aptazyme (SA),在缺乏PDGF-BB的情况下分离,但结合靶标后有效组装形成DNAzyme结构,该DNAzyme结构可以催化h2o2介导的2,2 ' -氮基-双(3-乙基苯并噻唑啉)-6-磺酸的氧化,并在5分钟内产生肉眼可见的墨绿色。值得注意的是,这里展示的SA在生物样品中对PDGF-BB的线性响应范围从0到500 nM,检测限低至0.7 nM。因此,我们认为这种方法应该很容易适用于PDGF-BB的现场视觉检测,用于癌症监测和诊断。新开发的SA策略也为快速和视觉检测其他只有一个结合位点的蛋白质生物标志物提供了有吸引力的通用传感平台。

Delayed treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) can result in severe complications, including cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, and kidney failure, emphasizing the critical importance of early and accurate detection. Key biomarkers for DM diagnosis and monitoring include glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and glycated albumin (GHSA), which are typically measured using techniques like chromatography, electrophoresis, and immunoassays. While these methods offer high accuracy and reliability, their application is often limited by the need for sophisticated instrumentation, high operational costs, and lengthy analysis times, making them less suitable for point-of-care diagnostics. As an alternative, Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) have emerged as a promising solution due to their exceptional specificity in biomarker recognition, mimicking the selective binding properties of natural antibodies. MIPs-based electrochemical sensors offer significant advantages, including high stability, selectivity, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness, making them highly suitable for rapid and portable biomarker detection. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in MIPs-based electrochemical sensors for DM biomarker detection, emphasizing various synthesis strategies, including bulk polymerization, surface polymerization, electropolymerization, and cooling polymerization. Furthermore, key factors influencing sensor performance, such as functional monomers, crosslinkers, and initiators, are discussed. The continued development of MIPs-based electrochemical sensors holds great potential for enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of DM biomarker detection, with ongoing research paving the way for their integration into point-of-care diagnostic platforms.
糖尿病(DM)的延迟治疗可导致严重的并发症,包括心血管疾病、神经病变和肾衰竭,这强调了早期和准确检测的重要性。糖尿病诊断和监测的关键生物标志物包括葡萄糖、胰岛素、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)和糖化白蛋白(GHSA),通常使用色谱、电泳和免疫分析等技术进行测量。虽然这些方法具有很高的准确性和可靠性,但它们的应用通常受到复杂仪器、高操作成本和长时间分析时间的限制,使它们不太适合即时诊断。作为替代方案,分子印迹聚合物(MIPs)由于其在生物标志物识别方面的特殊特异性,模仿天然抗体的选择性结合特性,已成为一种有前途的解决方案。基于mips的电化学传感器具有显著的优势,包括高稳定性,选择性,可重复性和成本效益,使其非常适合快速和便携式生物标志物检测。本文综述了用于DM生物标志物检测的基于mips的电化学传感器的最新进展,重点介绍了各种合成策略,包括本体聚合、表面聚合、电聚合和冷却聚合。此外,还讨论了影响传感器性能的关键因素,如功能单体、交联剂和引发剂。基于mips的电化学传感器的持续发展在提高糖尿病生物标志物检测的可及性和效率方面具有巨大的潜力,正在进行的研究为将其集成到护理点诊断平台铺平了道路。

Liquid assays, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), are difficult to implement in point-of-care microfluidic devices because bubbles often form. We present a reaction chamber design called same-depth inlet outlet (SDIO), which was found to reduce the instances of bubble formation by an average of 92.2 % across different flow rates when compared to traditional designs. We designed the fabrication process using xurography, laser cutting, and lamination techniques, which enable rapid and low-cost prototyping. The fabrication methods were evaluated for nuclease contamination, and best practices to reduce nucleases during and after chip assembly are detailed. Our technique, using a combination of ethanol rinses and ultraviolet-C light radiation, was found to reduce RNases up to tenfold. Different materials were tested for microfluidic compatibility with LAMP assay reagents by making chips that realistically emulate final surface areas and volumes. A variation in performance was found among different adhesives, where the best fluorescence ratio between positive and negative reactions was 4.63. Our microfluidic design was validated by amplifying a spiked RT-LAMP assay with SARS-CoV-2 primers in the reaction chambers. The overall findings aim to facilitate early-stage development and prototyping of microfluidic devices with consistent and reliable results.
液体检测,如聚合酶链反应(PCR)和环介导等温扩增(LAMP),很难在即时微流体设备中实现,因为气泡经常形成。我们提出了一种称为同深入口出口(SDIO)的反应室设计,与传统设计相比,发现在不同流速下,气泡形成的实例平均减少了92.2%。我们设计的制造工艺使用了激光切割机,激光切割机和层压技术,使快速和低成本的原型。评估了核酸酶污染的制造方法,并详细介绍了在芯片组装期间和组装后减少核酸酶的最佳做法。我们的技术,使用乙醇冲洗和紫外线- c光辐射的组合,被发现减少RNases高达十倍。不同材料的微流控兼容性测试与LAMP分析试剂,使芯片逼真地模拟最终表面积和体积。不同胶粘剂的性能存在差异,其中正负反应之间的最佳荧光比为4.63。我们的微流控设计通过在反应室中扩增带有SARS-CoV-2引物的加标RT-LAMP试验来验证。总体研究结果旨在促进微流体装置的早期开发和原型设计,并提供一致和可靠的结果。

A simple, fast and cost-effective electrochemical approach is here reported for the selective and quantitative detection of arsenic (III) ions in water starting from bacteria derived bioactive compounds. The exopolysaccharide (EPS B3–15) produced by the thermophilic, heavy metal tolerant Bacillus licheniformis B3–15, and the biosurfactant obtained from Bacillus horneckiae SBP3 (BS- SBP3) were used as sensitive elements for the electrochemical detection of As3+ due to their known recognition abilities towards this toxic ion, their thermophilic properties and stability in harsh conditions. The covalent functionalization of screen-printed gold electrodes (SPGE) with these bioactive compounds demonstrated to be advantageous to selectively detect As3+ in contaminated waters. Electrochemical measurements, performed for the developed sensors SPGE-EPS-B3–15 and SPGE-BS- SBP3, at the normal range of pH in surface water systems (6.5–8.5) demonstrated a higher sensitivity towards As3+ with respect to the bare electrode, also in the presence of other competing ions, such as Al3+, Bi3+, Ni2+ and Pb2+,with very low limits of detection (0.19 nM for SPGE-EPS-B3–15 and 0.03 nM for SPGE-BS- SBP3), which are below the legal limits for these heavy metal ions in drinking water (10 μg/L). The reported sensitivity was 1.8 µA nM−1cm−2 for SPGE-EPS-B3–15 and 17.5 µA nM−1cm−2 for SPGE-BS- SBP3. The preferred detection abilities of the chosen bioactive compounds towards As3+ ions have been also confirmed by complete conformational analysis, using a combination of Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies.
本文报道了一种简单、快速且具有成本效益的电化学方法,用于从细菌衍生的生物活性化合物开始对水中砷(III)离子进行选择性和定量检测。利用嗜热耐重金属的地衣芽孢杆菌B3-15产生的胞外多糖(EPS B3-15)和horneckiae芽孢杆菌SBP3获得的生物表面活性剂(BS- SBP3)对As3+的识别能力、嗜热特性和恶劣条件下的稳定性,作为电化学检测As3+的敏感元素。丝网印刷金电极(SPGE)与这些生物活性化合物的共价功能化证明有利于选择性检测污染水中的As3+。对SPGE-EPS-B3-15和SPGE-BS- SBP3传感器进行的电化学测量表明,在地表水系统的正常pH范围(6.5-8.5)下,与裸电极相比,在存在其他竞争离子(如Al3+、Bi3+、Ni2+和Pb2+)的情况下,对As3+的灵敏度更高,检测限很低(SPGE-EPS-B3-15的检测限为0.19 nM, SPGE-BS- SBP3的检测限为0.03 nM)。低于饮用水中重金属离子的法定限值(10 μg/L)。据报道,SPGE-EPS-B3-15和SPGE-BS- SBP3的灵敏度分别为1.8µA nM−1cm−2和17.5µA nM−1cm−2。采用分子动力学(MD)和密度泛函理论(DFT)研究相结合的完整构象分析也证实了所选生物活性化合物对As3+离子的首选检测能力。
