Urine analysis represents a crucial diagnostic technique employed in clinical laboratories. Creatinine and uric acid in urine are essential biomarkers in the human body and are widely utilized in clinical analysis. Research has demonstrated a correlation between the normal physiological concentrations of creatinine and uric acid in urine and an increased risk of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and kidney disease.

Real-time monitoring of blood pressure in athletes during exercise is of great importance, however, conventional methods pose challenges in achieving portable and instantaneous measurements. While, the electrodes used in emerging wearable blood pressure monitoring instruments still have certain defects. In this study, a novel cuffless blood pressure monitoring system was developed using a self-developed polyacrylamide/trehalose/LiCl (PAM/Trehalose/LiCl) conductive hydrogel as the electrode material.

Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) has gradually become an emerging biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases due to its specific gene expression and high stability. With the development of molecular diagnosis and point-of-care testing (POCT) technology, developing simple, fast, sensitive, efficient, and low-cost miRNA sensors is of great significance for clinical applications and emergency rapid diagnosis. At present, entropy-driven toehold mediated chain displacement reaction, as a promising enzyme free isothermal amplification technique, is an important tool for ultra-sensitive biosensing applications.

At the nanoscale, metals exhibit special electrochemical and optical properties, which play an important role in nanobiosensing. In particular, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on precious metal nanoparticles, as a kind of tag-free biosensor technology, has brought high sensitivity, high reliability, and convenient operation to sensor detection. By applying an electrochemical excitation signal to the nanoplasma device, modulating its surface electron density, and realizing electrochemical coupling SPR, it can effectively complete the joint transmission of electrical and optical signals, increase the resonance shift of the spectrum, and further improve the sensitivity of the designed biosensor.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor of the female reproductive system with insidious symptoms, aggressiveness, risk of metastasis, and high mortality. Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), a standard biomarker for screening epithelial ovarian cancer, can be applied to track cancer progression and treatment response. Here, we constructed an aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor to achieve sensitive detection of CA125.
