Uniform In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanocubes were synthesized through one-step <em>in situ</em> growth, and composite In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>x</sub>S<sub>3-x</sub> was obtained by one-step post-modification sulfurization, achieving ultra-high light-to-dark current switching ratios (169 times).

The presence of a built-in gradient electric field of In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>x</sub>S<sub>3-x</sub> was determined by <em>in situ</em> X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT). In the presence of CEA, CuO modified on the detection probe formed Cu<sup>2+</sup> by exogenous acidification and therefore caused a sudden crossing of the photocurrent by forming a robust Cu-S bond with the vulcanized photoanode.

To address these issues, we introduce a micropillar-based microfluidic electrochemical device (MED) for real-time monitoring of glucose levels in diverse cell culture systems, including human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and murine fibroblast cells (GP + E86).

Furthermore, the MED effectively detected significant changes in glucose consumption in hiPSCs cell cultures contaminated with <em>Escherichia coli (E. coli)</em>, highlighting its potential for early contamination detection. Integrating non-invasive, continuous monitoring platforms enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes by enabling cell health monitoring without disrupting the cell culture process.

This study proposes the photothermal effect-assisted reduced graphene oxide (rGO) biosensor that combines the photothermal effect of rGO with the rGO-based RI sensor for high-sensitivity detection of tumor marker miRNA-21. The rGO was functionalized with DNA probes capable of specifically hybridizing with the target miRNA-21. Quantitative detection of miRNA-21 was achieved by monitoring the RI change caused by the competitive hybridization of single-strand DNA (ssDNA)-functionalized AuNPs and target miRNA-21 with the DNA probes on the rGO surface. The presence of AuNPs disturbed the evanescent field on the rGO surface, thus achieving signal amplification. Furthermore, the localized photothermal effect heat induced by the interaction between rGO and pump light can effectively improve the hybridization kinetics of nucleic acid chains and achieve further signal amplification. The proposed biosensor had a high sensitivity toward the target miRNA-21, achieving a low detection limit of 4.05 fM without nucleic acid amplification. Its high specificity allowed for the recognition of single-base mismatches in miRNA-21. In addition, accurate quantification of low abundance miRNA-21 spiked into human urine samples was also successfully achieved.

Smart bandages, as cutting-edge flexible wearable medical devices, integrate various sensing technologies, providing new insights for dynamic monitoring and personalized treatment of chronic wounds. This paper systematically summarizes the applications and developments of smart bandages in monitoring wound environmental parameters, focusing on two major detection methods: colorimetric sensing and electrochemical sensing. Colorimetric sensors typically rely on color changes induced by physiological parameters, which can not only be identified by the naked eye but also combined with image recognition algorithms for physiological parameter detection. Electrochemical sensors, on the other hand, modify electrodes with specific enzymes and detect physiological parameters through the electrical signals generated by redox reactions. In addition to sensing, this paper further explores the integrated application of three smart therapeutic strategies in smart bandages, including promoting cell proliferation and angiogenesis through electrical stimulation, achieving controlled drug release <em>via</em> responsive materials, and utilizing photothermal materials for efficient antibacterial treatment of wounds.

By simultaneously conjugating activator ssDNA and monoclonal antibodies to gold nanoparticles, the CRISPR/Cas12a system was introduced into the immunoassay. To overcome the challenges associated with the preparation, storage, and transportation of FQ probes in CRISPR/Cas12a systems, the Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction was employed instead. The designed ssDNA was both the substrate of trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a and the synthetic template of the artificial clicking enzyme copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), which could effectively catalyze the CuAAC reaction to generate the desired signal output. The fluorescence intensity showed a linear relationship with <em>T. spiralis</em> crude protein concentration ranging from 3.125 to 100 ng/mL, and the detection limit was 0.35 ng/mL, which is three orders of magnitude lower than that of ELISA (LOD: 309.75 ng/mL).
