In advancing cardiac tissue engineering (CTE), the development of injectable hydrogels mirroring myocardial properties is pivotal. The designed hydrogels must not only support cardiac cell growth but also have to be conductive to properly promote the functionalities of cardiac cells. Here, a facile approach is developed to incorporate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into an injectable hydrogel composed of Alginate (Alg) and Gelatin (Gel).

- C-reactive protein (CRP) is a key biomarker for inflammation and is linked to cardiovascular diseases and sepsis, highlighting the importance of monitoring CRP levels for early detection and prevention.
- Researchers developed a nanobiosensor using gold-nanorods (GNR) that improves the measurement of CRP concentration through localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), allowing for quick and effective diagnostic capabilities.
- The nanobiosensor showed a rapid response to CRP levels within 30 minutes, with a detection limit of 2 nM and a linear measurement range of 2-20 nM, while demonstrating selectivity against non-target proteins like BSA and TNF-α.
