This study proposed an unclad optical fiber biosensor based on the localized surface plasmon resonance phenomenon and operating at 650 nm using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.1 finite element method (FEM). Gold nanoparticles (50 nm thickness) were coated on the middle portion of the unclad fiber. Air, water, blood plasma, liver tissue, colon tissue, and pentanol (C5H11OH) were used as analytical layers with 3 µm. The sensor serves as a theoretical foundation for experimental research. The blood plasma had the highest sensitivity with a sensitivity of 10,638.297 nm/RIU and a resolution of 9.410-6RIU. The proposed sensor is a promising candidate for a low-cost, simple-geometry biochemical sensing solution.

Fluorescent biosensors offer a powerful tool for tracking and quantifying protein activity in living systems with high temporospatial resolution. However, the expression of genetically encoded fluorescent proteins can interfere with endogenous signaling pathways, potentially leading to developmental and physiological abnormalities. The EKAREV-NLS mouse model, which carries a FRET-based biosensor for monitoring extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity, has been widely utilized both in vivo and in vitro across various cell types and organs.

Synthetic cells offer a versatile platform for addressing biomedical and environmental challenges, due to their modular design and capability to mimic cellular processes such as biosensing, intercellular communication, and metabolism. Constructing synthetic cells capable of stimuli-responsive secretion is vital for applications in targeted drug delivery and biosensor development. Previous attempts at engineering secretion for synthetic cells have been confined to non-specific cargo release via membrane pores, limiting the spatiotemporal precision and specificity necessary for selective secretion.

As an important small molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in the regulation of cell metabolism and supplies energy for various biochemical reactions in organisms. We herein developed a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor for highly specific detection of ATP using core-satellite assemblies. To construct the aptamer-based biosensor, a known ATP binding aptamer was divided into two segments.

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (T-EVs) PD-L1 are an important biomarker for predicting immunotherapy response and can help us understand the mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy. However, this is due to the interference from a large proportion of nontumor-derived EVs. It is still challenging to accurately analyze T-EVs PD-L1 in complex human fluids.
