To Screen and diagnose each of those diseases, there is a great need for portable, and economical diagnostic tools, which are highly stipulated to yield rapid and accurate results using a small volume of the samples such as blood, saliva, sweat, etc. Point-of-care Testing (POCT) is one of the approaches to harvest prompt diagnosis of numerous diseases. The Majority of Point-of-Care Devices (POCD) are developed to diagnose one disease within the specimen. On the other hand, multi-disease detection capabilities in the same point-of-care devices are considered to be an efficient candidate to execute the state-of-the-art platform for multi-disease detection. Most of the literature reviews in this field focus on Point-of-Care (POC) devices, their underlying principles of operation, and their potential applications. It is evident from a perusal of the scholarly works that no review articles have been written on multi-disease detection POC devices. A review study analyzing the current level and functionality of multi-disease detection POC devices would be of great use to future researchers and device manufacturers. This review paper is addressing the above gap by focusing on various optical techniques like fluorescence, Absorbance, and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for multi-disease detection by harnessing the microfluidic-based POC device.","PeriodicalId":13264,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience","volume":"23 1","pages":"140-147"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9747538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, this work addresses the optimization of the controlled release of drugs which are carried by extracellular vesicles. Towards this goal, we derive and numerically verify an analytical solution for the end-to-end system model. We then apply the analytical solution either to reduce the disease treatment time or to reduce the amount of required drugs. The latter is formulated as a bilevel optimization problem, whose quasiconvex/quasiconcave property is proved here. For solving the optimization problem, we propose and utilize a combination of bisection method and golden-section search. The numerical results demonstrate that the optimization can significantly reduce the treatment time and/or the required drugs carried by extracellular vesicles for a therapy compared to the steady state solution.","PeriodicalId":13264,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience","volume":"23 1","pages":"109-117"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9667345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the research matures into prototypes, the cybersecurity challenges of molecular networking are now being researched on at both the cryptographic and physical layer level. Due to the limited computation capabilities of IoNT devices, physical layer security (PLS) is of particular interest. As PLS leverages on channel physics and physical signal attributes, the fact that molecular signals differ significantly from radio frequency signals and propagation means new signal processing methods and hardware is needed. Here, we review new vectors of attack and new methods of PLS, focusing on 3 areas: (1) information theoretical secrecy bounds for molecular communications, (2) key-less steering and decentralized key-based PLS methods, and (3) new methods of achieving encoding and encryption through bio-molecular compounds.

The malaria and the chikungunya viruses are taken into account and the presence of these viruses are determined by examining several blood components in healthy and affected phases. Here, two distinct configurations (Al-BTO-Al-MoS2 and Cu-BTO-Cu-MoS2) are proposed and contrasted for the detection of numerous viruses. The performance characteristics of this work have been analyzed using Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) method and Finite Element Method (FEM) method under angle interrogation technique. From the TMM and FEM solutions, it is evident that the Al-BTO-Al-MoS2 structure provides the highest sensitivities of ~270 deg./RIU for malaria and ~262 deg./RIU for chikungunya viruses, with satisfactory detection accuracy of ~1.10 for malaria, ~1.64 for chikungunya, and quality factor of ~204.40 for malaria, ~208.20 for chikungunya. In addition, the Cu-BTO-Cu MoS2 structure offers the highest sensitivities of ~310 deg./RIU for malaria and ~298 deg./RIU for chikungunya, with satisfactory detection accuracy of ~0.40 for malaria, ~0.58 for chikungunya, and quality factor of ~89.85 for malaria, ~86.38 for chikungunya viruses. Therefore, the performance of the proposed sensors is analyzed using two distinct methods and gives around similar results.

EVs as the external stimulus can activate or inhibit some receptor pathways in a way that amplify or attenuate a kind of particle release at target cells. This can also be carried out in a biological feedback-loop where the transmitter is affected by the induced release initiated by the target cell due to the EVs received from the donor cell, to create a bilateral process. In this paper, at first we derive the frequency response of internalization function in the framework of a unilateral communication link. This solution is adapted to a closed-loop system to find the frequency response of a bilateral system. The overall releases of the cells, given by the combination of the natural release and the induced release, are reported at the end of this paper and the results are compared in terms of distance between the cells and reaction rates of EVs at the cell membranes.","PeriodicalId":13264,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience","volume":"23 1","pages":"71-80"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9680469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, in a time-free manner, it is proved that this type of P systems have Turing universality by using two cells and four channel states with a maximum rule length of 2, or by using two cells and noncooperative symport rules with a maximum rule length of 1.

To improve the correction capability of ECCs and robustness of the DNA storage system, we propose a new iterative soft decoding algorithm, where soft information is obtained from FASTQ files and channel statistics. In particular, we propose a new formula for log-likelihood ratio (LLR) calculation using quality scores (Q-scores) and a redecoding method which may be suitable for the error correction and detection in the DNA sequencing area. Based on the widely adopted encoding scheme of the fountain code structure proposed by Erlich et al., we use three different sets of sequenced data to show consistency for the performance evaluation.
