Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often experience acute exacerbations characterized by elevated neutrophilic inflammation in the lungs. Currently, this condition is diagnosed through visual inspection of sputum color and vol...

Kanamycin (KanR) is a widely used antibiotic in human and veterinary medicine, as well as in food production and livestock breeding. However, its environmental residue and bioaccumulation in the food chain pose a great threat to human health. A real-...

In this research, an interdigitated gear-shaped working electrode is presented for cortisol sensing. Overall, the sensor was designed in a three-electrode system and was fabricated using direct laser scribing. A synthesized conductive ink based on gr...

In this study, we present an innovative optical biosensor designed to detect Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pivotal cytokine implicated in many pathological conditions. Our sensing platform is made of a porous silicon (PSi) nanostructured substrate modified...

The timely and accurate detection of cancer is crucial for preventing disease progression and for the early treatment of confirmed cases. MiRNAs are cancer markers. In this study, a simple miRNA detection method is proposed. Three hairpins were desig...

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) at ambient temperature is prone to false positive signals during nucleic acid detection, which makes it challenging to establish an efficient RCA detection method. The false positive signals are primarily caused by...

The rapid and accurate detection of foodborne pathogens is essential for ensuring food safety. Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) and Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) are major foodborne pathogenic bacteria that pose significant public...

The performance of heterophase immunoassays is often limited by the kinetics of analyte binding. This problem is partially solved by bead-based assays, which are characterized by rapid diffusion in the particle suspension. However, at low analyte con...

Copper-thiolate nanostructures, formed through the self-assembly of cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) with copper ions, offer a versatile platform for redox-active applications due to their structural stability and chemical functionality. In this...

Precise analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is critical for advancing the understanding of neurological conditions and mapping brain activity. However, accurately visualizing brain regions and behavioral patterns from neural signals remain...
