Exosomes are natural spherical phospholipids vesicles derived from cells. Dropping MCF-7 exosome (with high biomarkers as exosomal case) covalently onto the SCPE-GNP causes the sensor to be stable due to the electrochemical induction of positive charges of different biomarkers with [Fe(CN)6] reactions. In the following, the covalent p19 connection with the biomarkers of exosome turns off the sensor. After adding the hybrid of miR21-probe, its tight coupling to p19 has reestablished the system. As a result, this sensor has been able to detect miR21 with high sensitivity and specificity. For the first time, the exosomal electrochemical properties were proven as the electrochemical amplifier bed. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1 a.M. due to the existence of various biomarkers for connecting covalent to p19. Electrochemical impedance (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) are used for miR sensing on the MCF-7 exosome-p19 composite. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Ultraviolet Visible (UV) spectroscopic techniques are used to understand the interactions between each layer. These vesicles can be used as a natural source for biocompatible devices that are used in transfection using an electrochemical method at a cost-effective and high-performance basis.

In this work, the electrochemical biosensor based on the subtle combination of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), CRISPR/Cas14a, and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed for the detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)-derived exosomes. Due to the synergistic effect of the following factors: the powerful elongation capacity of TdT for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with 3-hydroxy terminus, the outstanding trans-cleavage ability of CRISPR/Cas14a specifcally activated by the crRNA binding to target DNA, and the excellent separation ability of MNPs, the developed electrochemical biosensor exhibited high sensitivity for the detection of NPC-derived exosome, with a linear range from 6.0 × 10 ∼ 1.

Exosomes have emerged as a powerful biomarker for early cancer diagnosis, however, accurately detecting cancer-derived exosomes in biofluids remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we present a novel label-free electrochemical biosensor utilizing titanium dioxide nanotube array films (TiONTAs) for the sensitive detection of exosomes in complex biological samples. This innovative biosensor takes advantage of the excellent electrochemical properties of TiONTAs and their specific interactions with the phosphate groups of exosomes.

Glycosylation, the intricate process of adding carbohydrate motifs to proteins, lipids, and exosomes on the cell surface, is crucial for both physiological and pathological mechanisms. Alterations in glycans significantly affect cancer cell metastasis by mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The subtle changes in glycosylation during malignant transformations highlight the importance of analyzing cell and exosome surface glycosylation for prognostic and early treatment strategies in cancer.
