To date, proteolytically-active prostate specific antigen (PSA) serine protease is a useful diagnostic serological marker for the early diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. In the past years, researchers executed a lot of research to increase the utility and applicability of PSA detection methods. However, these methods were usually frustrated by limitation in sensitivity, specificity, times constrains and ease of on-site application. Thus, there is a need for novel direct and highly sensitive PSA detection methods. This work showed the ability of the developed electrochemical and optical (Surface Plasmin Resonance (SPR) and colorimetric) biosensors to detect PSA with high sensitivity and specificity and within a short timing. Moreover, these novel approaches can be implemented in other miniaturized configurations such as screen printed electrode and paper-based low-cost point-of-care biosensor due to the elimination of washing and blocking steps as well as the amplification and labelling procedure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101042,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Technology","volume":"27 ","pages":"Pages 122-125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.protcy.2017.04.054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80473666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by flight vehicles and naturally occurring bio-molecular protein motors, miniaturized disk-like nanoswimmers are proposed, which are composed of three different metals: gold (Au), nickel (Ni), and platinum (Pt). The proposed nanoswimmers are fabricated via a layer-by-layer deposition method base on nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) technology, whereby Pt functions as the chemical catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) to produce oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) bubbles detaching from its surface, which in turn generate recoil force to thrust nanoswimmers propelling forward.
