Metal-Nanoparticle-Supported Nanozyme-Based Colorimetric Sensor Array for Precise Identification of Proteins and Oral Bacteria.

Convenient, precise, and high-throughput discrimination of multiple bioanalytes is of great significance for an early diagnosis of diseases. Array-based pattern recognition has proven to be a powerful tool to detect diverse analytes, but developing sensing elements featuring favorable surface diversity still remains a challenge. In this work, we presented a simple and facile method to prepare programmable metal-nanoparticle (NP)-supported nanozymes (MNNs) as artificial receptors for the accurate identification of multiple proteins and oral bacteria.

Simultaneous detection of dual biomarkers using hierarchical MoS nanostructuring and nano-signal amplification-based electrochemical aptasensor toward accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Accurate and reliable quantification of tumor biomarkers in clinical samples is of vital importance for early stage diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, a poor specificity of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing alone fostering overdetection and overtreatment, remains a great controversy in prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Here we report an electrochemical aptasensor using hierarchical MoS nanostructuring and SiO nano-signal amplification for simultaneous detection of dual PCa biomarkers, PSA and sarcosine, to enhance the diagnostic performance of PCa.
