In this study, the incorporation of biomass-derived high-surface porous carbon-based materials not only contributed to the sensor's sensitivity but also ensured a cost-effective and scalable manufacturing process. The electrochemical nature of the biosensor added a layer of precision to the detection process and offered a reliable, rapid method for identifying the infection of the dengue virus. The enhanced sensitivity of the biosensor allowed the detection of even trace amounts of the NS1 protein, enabling early diagnosis in the initial stages of dengue infection. The system exhibited a high sensitivity with a wide linear range between 1 pg/mL and 100 μg/mL, and the extremely low detection limit of 0.665 pg/mL ranks this as one of the most efficient biosensors for the detection of dengue virus NS1 protein. Selectivity studies, coupled with computational insights, showcased the biosensor's prowess in distinguishing NS1 protein from potential interfering substances, laying the foundation for reliable diagnostics in complex biological matrices. Real sample analysis using human serum spiked with NS1 protein offers a tantalizing glimpse into the transformative potential of biosensors in real-world scenarios.

Apt@MBs were functionalized with fluorophore-conjugated AS1411-aptamer on an outer layer made up of molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>) to target nucleolin on the cell surface of captured HeLa cells. Moreover, this outer MoS<sub>2</sub> layer of MBs was nanoporous and could load anticancer drugs inside its porous cavities with the possibility of killing the captured and metastatic CTCs <em>in vivo</em>. An internal core layer of Apt@MBs consisting of Ag–Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> magnetic particles (MPs) was designed for magnetic manifestations and cell sorting with the possibility of screening CTCs (in the patient's blood samples) for early diagnosis of metastatic cancers. The Apt@MBs after cell capture gave rise to the heavier HeLa-MBs composites to get settled down under gravitational/inertial forces to the bottom of the tube quicker than the free cells (within 10 min). The gravitational settling of HeLa-MBs was further coupled with exposing a magnetic field to effectively capture and enrich the cells at the bottom of the tube (from 91 to 98 % cells). While the fluid containing dead, non-cancerous, or uncaptured cells in the supernatant layers were easily removed by pipetting. The HeLa-MBs after sorting out were resuspended into a fresh culture medium for further incubation or cellular analysis. Moreover, both cisplatin (CP) and epirubicin (EP) loaded Apt@MBs showed the killing of about 50 % of the captured cells.

Unfortunately, current commercial glucose sensors have limited performance and lifespans <em>in vivo</em>, considered to be due to sensor-induced tissue reactions (inflammation, fibrosis, and vessel regression). Previously, our laboratory utilized monocyte/macrophage (Mo/MQ) deficient and depleted mice to establish a causal relationship between Mo/MQ accumulation and inflammation in glucose sensor performance <em>in vivo</em>. Using C–C chemokine ligand-2 (CCL2) and C–C chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2) knockout mice, we next established that deletion of this Mo/MQ chemokine family, suppressed inflammation at the sensor-tissue interface in these mice, while improving sensor performance over a 4-week post-sensor implantation, compared to normal mice. These studies underscore the importance of the CCL2 family of chemokines and receptors in Mo/MQ recruitment/activation, and sensor performance <em>in vivo</em>. In the present study, we systemically administered Bindarit, a CCL2 synthesis inhibitor, to assess the role of CCL2 chemokines, Mo/MQ recruitment and inflammation at sensor implantation sites, on CGM performance <em>in vivo</em>. These studies demonstrate that systemic administration of Bindarit substantially reduced sensor-induced inflammation, particularly MQ recruitment, preventing sensor biofouling in our CGM mouse model. These results not only confirm the major role monocytes/macrophages play, but directly demonstrate that CCL2 drives Mo/MQ recruitment and biofouling of glucose sensors <em>in vivo</em>.

Inspired by strategies to address water crossover and flooding in polyelectrolyte fuel cells, we demonstrated a SCISE with minimal conditioning time and long-term stability by modulating the rate-limiting step between mass transfer of water and hydrated ions and redox kinetics in the conducting polymer (CP). Our strategy comprised a wearable ISE with a superhydrophobic CP, PEDOT:TFPB, which reduced water and ion fluxes within the ISE, resulting in a stable and less-swollen CP and diminished water layer formation while maintaining CP's high capacitance. Our PEDOT:TFPB based ISEs functioned after a short conditioning time of 30 min and exhibited extended stability with a reduced signal deviation of only 0.16 % per hour (0.02 mV h<sup>−1</sup>) during 48 h of continuous measurement. Through systematic studies, we showed that ISE performance could be further tuned by tailoring the thickness of the ion-selective membrane as well as the hydrophobicity and polymerization charges of the CP. Without the need for recurrent calibration, our ISEs sustain high accuracy and prolonged stability upon integration into a wearable format for on-body perspiration analysis.
