Abstract
Breast cancer is among the most common neoplasms in women worldwide, and timely detection is important to ensure the greatest chance of survival. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess specific advantages for application in biosensors because they possess a high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and excellent biocompatibility. This paper summarizes the research progress of MOF-based aptamer sensors for the early detection of biomarkers of breast cancer, including progress in single-biomarker and multiplex sensing and the use of various detection methods in aptamer-based sensors. Furthermore, it discusses novel component design, optimization of detection methods, and the expansion of clinical applications with MOF-based aptamer sensors. Functionalization and adjustment of MOFs through the introduction of new aptamers and techniques have improved sensor efficiency and provided new paths for early cancer diagnosis. Despite advancements, sensitivity, selectivity, and clinical feasibility concerns are areas that require more efforts.
期刊介绍:
Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research is an open access journal dedicated to the research, design, development, and application of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The editors will accept research papers, reviews, field trials, and validation studies that are of significant relevance. These submissions should describe new concepts, enhance understanding of the field, or offer insights into the practical application, manufacturing, and commercialization of bio-sensing and sensing technologies.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including sensing principles and mechanisms, new materials development for transducers and recognition components, fabrication technology, and various types of sensors such as optical, electrochemical, mass-sensitive, gas, biosensors, and more. It also includes environmental, process control, and biomedical applications, signal processing, chemometrics, optoelectronic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic sensors, as well as interface electronics. Additionally, it covers sensor systems and applications, µTAS (Micro Total Analysis Systems), development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals, and analytical devices incorporating biological materials.
