We are currently living in a state of uncertainty due to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. There are several factors involved in the epidemic spreading, such as the individual characteristics of each city/country. The true shape of the epidemic dynamics is a large, complex system, considerably hard to predict.

- The paper discusses the creation of genosensors designed to detect a specific DNA sequence related to prostate cancer (PCA3), which could improve early diagnosis and treatment.
- Various detection methods were used, with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showing the highest sensitivity at a detection limit of 83 pM, surpassing other methods like cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroscopy.
- Machine learning was applied to analyze scanning electron microscopy images of the genosensors, achieving a remarkable classification accuracy of 99.9% for PCA3 detection, though identifying specific PCA3 concentrations showed lower accuracy, indicating a need for improved image analysis techniques.
