Abstract: The increasing demand for precision medicine, particularly in oncology, requires innovative solutions to address patient-specific inter-individual variability in drug response. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is crucial for optimizing treatment efficacy and minimizing toxic side effects, enabling precise dosage adjustments tailored to the patient's individual metabolic profile. Electrochemical biosensors offer a cost-effective, simple, and portable solution with rapid response times, making them ideal for point-of-care applications. In this work, we propose a novel dual-biosensor platform for TDM, designed to simultaneously detect multiple chemotherapeutic agents-cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, etoposide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil-for precision oncology. Following real clinical treatment scenarios, the system uses only two working electrodes integrated into a single electrochemical sensing platform, significantly reducing complexity and cost. By integrating MWCNTs with cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2B6), our platform achieves enhanced electron transfer and substrate specificity, enabling sensitive and selective detection of the five chemotherapeutic drugs, individually and in combination, within clinically relevant ranges. Designed for portability and rapid analysis, this dual-biosensor platform enables real-time, cost-effective drug monitoring at the point-of-care, advancing personalized cancer treatment with greater precision and accessibility.

An important part of studying living systems is figuring out the complicated steps that lead to order from chaos. Spontaneous oscillations are a key part of self-organisation in many biological and chemical networks, including kombucha and proteinoids. This study examines the spontaneous oscillations in kombucha and proteinoids, specifically exploring their potential connection to the origin of life. As a community of bacteria and yeast work together, kombucha shows remarkable spontaneous oscillations in its biochemical parts. This system can keep a dynamic balance and organise itself thanks to metabolic processes and complex chemical reactions. Similarly, proteinoids, which may have been primitive forms of proteins, undergo spontaneous fluctuations in their structure and function periodically. Because these oscillations happen on their own, they may play a very important part in the development of early life forms. This paper highlights the fundamental principles governing the transition from chaos to order in living systems by examining the key factors that influence the frequency and characteristics of spontaneous oscillations in kombucha and proteinoids. Looking into these rhythms not only helps us understand where life came from but also shows us ways to make self-organising networks in synthetic biology and biotechnology. There is significant discussion over the emergence of biological order from chemical disorder. This article contributes to the ongoing discussion by examining at the theoretical basis, experimental proof, and implications of spontaneous oscillations. The results make it clear that random oscillations are an important part of the change from nonliving to living matter. They also give us important information about what life is all about.
