Article Synopsis
  • Advanced materials, especially field-effect transistors (FETs), show promise for biosensing applications due to their material variability and self-amplifying electrical signals.
  • Graphene and competing graphene-derived materials (GDMs) are highlighted for their excellent properties that benefit biosensing and ease of fabrication.
  • A study comparing FETs made from single-layer graphene, graphene/graphite nanowalls, and bulk nanocrystalline graphite reveals that the bulk-NCG FET demonstrates superior electrical conductance and increased sensitivity when functionalized with Au nanoparticles.

The study and discovery of bioactive compounds and new formulations as potential tools for promoting the repair of dermoepidermal tissue in wound healing is of continuing interest. We have developed a new formulation of amorphous hydrogel based on sodium alginate (NaAlg); type I collagen, isolated by the authors from silver carp tails (COL); glycerol (Gli); Aloe vera gel powder (AV); and silver nanoparticles obtained by green synthesis with aqueous extract (AgNPs@CIN) and vitamin C, respectively. The gel texture of the amorphous hydrogels was achieved by the addition of Aloe vera, demonstrated by a rheological analysis.
