Currently, dietary supplements contain a wide range of non-specific concentrations of testosterone and/or its synthetic analogs, substances that are not permitted and that pose a risk to public health, which puts into perspective the need to evaluate...

An electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of tetracycline (TET) is prepared based on a methylene blue (MB)-tagged DNA aptamer, with the sequence 5′-MB-CCC CCG GCA GGC CAC GGC TTG GGTTGG TCC CAC TGC GCG-thiol-3′. The DNA aptamer is c...

Applying the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method to detect bioactive molecules such as DNA, proteins, and drugs has significant potential for structure-sensitive nondestructive chemical analysis. The SERS discrimination of single-molecule...

During the last few decades, many studies have focused on the development of environmentally friendly, efficient, and miniaturized sample preparation methods. In this study, solid-phase microextraction and electromembrane extraction methods were inte...

Cytochrome c (cyt c) is an important indicator of cell apoptosis and can, therefore, be used for the diagnosis of cancer. We performed a comparative analysis of cyt c detection on the surface of lipid films or a monolayer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic aci...

Spinal cord electrical (SCS) stimulation alleviates motor deficits in rodent and primate models of Parkinson’s disease due to a suppression of synchronous corticostriatal low-frequency oscillation. Limited epidural space requires resistant bioc...

Here, we describe a multianalyte biosensor platform for the fluorescent analysis of different human state biomarkers (α-amylase, phenylalanine, glucose, lactate/pyruvate, alcohol) and some immunosuppressive drugs (cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, me...

Plasmonic nanostructures with a high density of confined areas with high local electromagnetic fields (hot spots) are sine qua nonto increase the efficiency of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). These nanostructures can be used both to ident...

Glutathione (GT) is a complexing agent that plays a key role in the functioning of a living cell. Gold nanoparticles are often used as transducers of nanosized biosensors, since they have the optical and chemical properties necessary for sensory appl...
