Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common male cancer and is attributable to over 375,000 deaths annually. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a key biomarker for PCa and therefore measuring patient PSA levels is an important aspect of the diagnostic pathway. Automated immunoassays are currently utilized for PSA analysis, but they require a la...

With the development of drug delivery systems, the use of nanomaterials for slow, targeted, and effective drug release has grown significantly. To ensure the quality of performance, it is essential to obtain drug release profiles from therapeutic nanoparticles prior to in vivo testing. Typically, the methods of monitoring the drug release profile f...

Rapid and accurate detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is one of the most effective measures to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, there is still lack of an ideal detection platform capable of high sample throughput, portability, and multiplicity. Herein, by combining Hive-Chip (...

Wastewater analysis of pathogens, particularly SARS-CoV-2, is instrumental in tracking and monitoring infectious diseases in a population. This method can be used to generate early warnings regarding the onset of an infectious disease and predict the associated infection trends. Currently, wastewater analysis of SARS-CoV-2 is almost exclusively per...

We investigate the interaction of various analytes (toluene, acetone, ethanol, and water) possessing different structures, bonding, and molecular sizes with a laser-exfoliated WS2 sensing material in a chemiresistive sensor. The sensor showed a clear response to all analytes, which was significantly enhanced by modifying the WS2 surface. This was a...

Liquid biopsy is seen as a prospective tool for cancer screening and tracking. However, the difficulty lies in effectively sieving, isolating, and overseeing cancer biomarkers from the backdrop of multiple disrupting cells and substances. The current study reports on the ability to perform liquid biopsy without the need to physically filter and/or ...

Piezoionic strain sensors have attracted enormous attention in artificial skin perception because of high sensitivity, lightweight, and flexibility. However, their sensing properties are limited by a weak material interface based on physical adhesion, which usually leads to fast performance deterioration under mechanical conditions. In this work, a...

Salinity is crucial for understanding the environmental and ecological processes in estuarine and coastal sediments. In situ measurements in sediments are scarce due to the low water content and particulate adsorption. Here, a new potentiometric sensor principle is proposed for the real-time in situ measurement of salinity in sediments. The sensor ...

Stress is a leading cause of several disease types, yet it is underdiagnosed as current diagnostic methods are mainly based on self-reporting and interviews that are highly subjective, inaccurate, and unsuitable for monitoring. Although some physiological measurements exist (e.g., heart rate variability and cortisol), there are no reliable biologic...

The traditional sensors are designed based on the "lock-and-key" strategy with high selectivity and specificity for detecting specific analytes, which however are not suitable for detecting multiple analytes simultaneously. With the help of pattern recognition technologies, the sensor arrays excel in distinguishing subtle changes caused by multitar...
