A sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor for ultrasensitive detection of glypican-3 (GPC3) was constructed using GPC3 aptamer (GPC3) labelled reduced graphene oxide-cerium oxide-gold nanoparticles (RGO-CeO-Au NPs) as the signal probe and the same GPC3 as the capture probe. The electrochemical redox properties of CeO (Ce/Ce) in the RGO-CeO-Au NPs indicate the electrochemical signals. When the target GPC3 was present, an "aptamer-protein-aptamer" sandwich structure was formed on the sensing interface due to the specific binding between the protein and aptamers, resulting in an increased electrochemical redox signal detected by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. Under optimal conditions, the established aptasensor exhibited a logarithmic linear relationship between the current response and GPC3 concentration in the range 0.001-100.0 ng/mL, with a minimum detection limit of 0.74 pg/mL. Using the spike-recovery tests for measurement of the human serum samples, the recovery was from 99.26 to 114.01%, and the RSD range was 3.04 to 5.34%. Furthermore, the sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor exhibited excellent performance characteristics such as good stability, high specificity, and high sensitivity, demonstrating effective detection of GPC3 in human serum samples and can be used as a clinical detection tool for GPC3.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a broad-spectrum biomarker, and its accurate detection and analysis is important for early clinical diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to develop a highly sensitive and selective sandwich-type immunosensor based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for the accurate detection of CEA. A novel composite material, gold nanoparticle/reduced-graphene oxide/graphitic carbon nitride (AuNPs/rGO/g-CN), was synthesized with excellent electrical conductivity and a large specific surface area to immobilize biological probes.

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), serves as a reliable and vital biomarker for precise diagnosis and effective monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma, requires precise detection. Herein, a sandwich-structured electrochemical immunosensor was crafted, employing three-dimensional layered porous carbon modified with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the substrate and Au NPs/CuS as the labeling compound for accurate and sensitive detection of AFP. Due to the effective coordination between the 3D carbon network, Au NPs, and hollow CuS nanocubes, the sandwich-structured electrochemical immunosensor was able to produce three distinct response signals via various detection techniques, demonstrating a broad linear range (0.

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-155, based on the synergistic combination of multifunctional nanomaterials. The biosensor employed a conductive metal-organic framework (MOF), Ni(HAB) (HAB = hexaaminobenzene), as the substrate material. The unique π-electron conjugated structure of Ni(HAB) endowed the biosensor with excellent electron transport properties, significantly enhancing its sensitivity.

The sensitive and accurate identification of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in biological fluids is essential for assessing migraine due to its role in different physiological and pathological processes. In this study, we designed a simple and feasible electrochemical immunosensing method for the voltammetric measurement of IL-6. The electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated through covalent conjugation of anti-IL-6 capture antibodies on the glassy carbon electrode with a typical carbodiimide coupling method.

Thiolate-bridged bimetallic complexes have attracted considerable attention owing to their extensive applications in bioinspired catalysis as biological metalloenzymes. Compared with bimetallic complexes supported by common thiolate ligands, those featuring functional groups that may adopt different patterns to coordinate to the metal centers are usually difficult to access, limiting their exploration. The benzimidazole moiety is a multi-faceted functional group; for example, it can act as a biomolecule-responsive ligand for the development of transition metal complexes with anticancer and antitumor properties.
