Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy necessitates continuous blood glucose monitoring, prompting the industry to develop affordable, rapid, and accurate glucose sensor devices, such as electrochemical glucose sensors, for clinical research. The domain of electrochemical glucose biosensing has undergone substantial expansion since the initial enzyme electrode was documented in 1962. The advancement of sensing platforms has been propelled by the creation of sophisticated nanostructures and their Nano-composites, including gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, carbon/graphene quantum dots, and chitosan hydrogel composites. These nanomaterials have enhanced the immobilization process and electrocatalytic activity for glucose. This review outlines the progression of glucose biosensing, with a focus on the application of nanostructures for glucose detection, both with and without the enzyme, in diabetic retinopathy. We investigate the historical development of biosensors, advancements in surface science to improve electron transfer, and the array of sensing platforms created utilizing nanomaterials.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
