Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a type of short, non-coding nucleic acid molecule that plays essential roles in diagnosing and prognosing various types of cancer. MiRNA is abundantly present in skin interstitial fluid (ISF), providing real-time and localized physiological information. Hydrogel microneedle (HMN) patches enable miRNA collection in a fast, pain-free, minimally invasive, and user-friendly manner. In this study, we introduced a fluorescence-based HMN assay, namely the HMN-miR sensor, composed of methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) and a graphene oxide–probe DNA (GO.pDNA) conjugate for miR21 and miR210 detection. The HMN-miR sensor demonstrates excellent skin penetration efficiency, rapid ISF collection capability, and sufficient miRNA detection and sequence identification specificity. The HMN-miR sensor facilitates a new assay that, with further optimization, could be applied in future clinical settings. Its simple fabrication process and excellent biocompatibility give it significant potential for various clinical uses, such as personalized cancer treatment and monitoring the healing progress of burn wounds.
期刊介绍:
Lab on a Chip is the premiere journal that publishes cutting-edge research in the field of miniaturization. By their very nature, microfluidic/nanofluidic/miniaturized systems are at the intersection of disciplines, spanning fundamental research to high-end application, which is reflected by the broad readership of the journal. Lab on a Chip publishes two types of papers on original research: full-length research papers and communications. Papers should demonstrate innovations, which can come from technical advancements or applications addressing pressing needs in globally important areas. The journal also publishes Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives.
