Recent Advances in Amperometric Biosensors for Medical Applications: A Mini-Review.

Amperometric biosensors have emerged as a cutting-edge technology in clinical diagnostics, thanks to their high level of sensitivity, rapid analytical results, compact size, and ability to monitor health parameters non-invasively and continuously using flexible and wearable sensors. This review explores the latest developments in the field of amperometric biosensing for medical applications. It discusses the materials used to construct these sensors and pays particular attention to biosensors designed to measure glucose, lactate, cholesterol, urea, and uric acid levels.

A "2-in-1" Bioanalytical System Based on Nanocomposite Conductive Polymers for Early Detection of Surface Water Pollution.

This work proposes an approach to the formation of receptor elements for the rapid diagnosis of the state of surface waters according to two indicators: the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) index and toxicity. Associations among microorganisms based on the bacteria and yeast , as well as associations of the yeasts and , were formed to evaluate these indicators, respectively. The use of nanocomposite electrically conductive materials based on carbon nanotubes, biocompatible natural polymers-chitosan and bovine serum albumin cross-linked with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, neutral red, safranin, and phenosafranin-has made it possible to expand the analytical capabilities of receptor systems.

Conductive Polymers and Their Nanocomposites: Application Features in Biosensors and Biofuel Cells.

Conductive polymers and their composites are excellent materials for coupling biological materials and electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems. It is assumed that their relevance and introduction to the field of bioelectrochemical devices will only grow due to their tunable conductivity, easy modification, and biocompatibility. This review analyzes the main trends and trends in the development of the methodology for the application of conductive polymers and their use in biosensors and biofuel elements, as well as describes their future prospects.

Tumour adaptation to immune factors: old and new ideas for cancer immunotherapy.

The tumour is fully functional in the zone of action of immune mediators. Moreover, the tumour needs immune system mediators to survive. "Adaptation" refers to a tumour's ability to withstand the effect of harmful elements.

A Two-Mediator System Based on a Nanocomposite of Redox-Active Polymer Poly(thionine) and SWCNT as an Effective Electron Carrier for Eukaryotic Microorganisms in Biosensor Analyzers.

Electropolymerized thionine was used as a redox-active polymer to create a two-mediated microbial biosensor for determining biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The electrochemical characteristics of the conducting system were studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It has been shown that the most promising in terms of the rate of interaction with the yeast is the system based on poly(thionine), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and neutral red (k = 0.
