Colon or semicolon: gut sampling microdevices for omics insights.

NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes

Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India.

Published: October 2024

Ingestible microdevices represent a breakthrough in non-invasive sampling of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By capturing the native spatiotemporal microbiome and intricate biochemical gradients, these devices allow a non-invasive multi-omic access to the unperturbed host-microbiota crosstalk, immune/nutritional landscapes and gut-organ connections. We present the current progress of GI sampling microdevices towards personalized metabolism and fostering collaboration among clinicians, engineers, and data scientists.

Wearable and implantable biosensors have rapidly entered the fields of health and biomedicine to diagnose diseases and physiological monitoring. The use of wired medical devices causes surgical complications, which can occur when wires break, become infected, generate electrical noise, and are incompatible with implantable applications. In contrast, wireless power transfer is ideal for biosensing applications since it does not necessitate direct connections between measurement tools and sensing systems, enabling remote use of the biosensors.

Efficient analysis of active ingredient in complex natural products is crucial for drug discovery, but developing a simple method for this is challenging. The discovery of drugs against bacterial resistance is urgent because drug-resistant bacteria produce β-lactamases, which inactivate antibiotics and increase infection risks, particularly the AmpC β-lactamase. Here, an integrated analytical model based on colorimetric sensing and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affinity chromatography was developed for screening AmpC β-lactamase inhibitors.

Metasurfaces have recently gained significant attention due to the strong capacity in light field manipulation. However, most traditional metasurfaces are fabricated on rigid substrates, which fix their functionality after fabrication and limit their applications in dynamic measurement fields. In this work, we designed and fabricated a silver metasurface embedded in a stretchable substrate for sensing applications.
