A novel biosensor for immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection based on an extended-gate type organic field effect transistor (OFET) has been developed that possesses an anti-IgG antibody on its extended-gate electrode and can be operated below 3 V. The titration results from the target IgG in the presence of a bovine serum albumin interferent, clearly exhibiting a negative shift in the OFET transfer curve with increasing IgG concentration. This is presumed to be due an interaction between target IgG and the immobilized anti-IgG antibody on the extended-gate electrode. As a result, a linear range from 0 to 10 µg/mL was achieved with a relatively low detection limit of 0.62 µg/mL (=4 nM). We believe that these results open up opportunities for applying extended-gate-type OFETs to immunosensing.

Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the progressive deterioration of neuronal function and structure, pose significant global public health and economic challenges. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key regulator of neuroplasticity and neuronal survival, has emerged as a critical biomarker for various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays, face limitations in terms of sensitivity, stability, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
- - This study created a temperature-resistant aptamer paired with electric double-layer Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) for detecting mercury ions effectively, leveraging the aptamer's stable hairpin structure that enhances sensitivity.
- - Two aptamer sequences with varying melting temperatures were tested, revealing that the one with a higher melting temperature demonstrated significantly improved detection sensitivity, achieving a remarkable limit of detection of 4.68 × 10 M, much lower than previous methods.
- - The research emphasized that both the thermal properties of aptamers and the surrounding temperature are crucial for optimizing sensor performance, particularly in differentiating between mercury and other heavy metals like arsenic and lead.

In this article, we present the first instance of depositing WTe-sensitive films with varying thicknesses (3, 4, and 5 nm) onto flexible polyimide substrates using radio-frequency sputtering. These films were used to create an extended-gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) for pH sensing and detecting procalcitonin (PCT) in the sera of patients with sepsis or bacterial infections. Among the films, the 4 nm WTe film exhibited high sensitivity (59.

Despite the clinical data showing the importance of ascorbic acid (AA or vitamin C) in managing viral respiratory infections, biosensors for their simultaneous detection are lacking. To address this need, we developed a portable and wireless device for simultaneous detection of AA and SARS-CoV-2 virus by integrating commercial transistors with printed laser-induced graphene (LIG) as the extended gate. We studied the effect of laser printing pass number and showed that with two laser printing passes (2-pass LIG), the sensor sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) for AA improved by a factor of 1.
