Recent advances of electrochemical and optical biosensors for detection of C-reactive protein as a major inflammatory biomarker
Abstract Early detection of inflammatory mediators including C-reactive protein (CRP) is of great diagnostic importance in many human diseases. CRP elevates very fast in conditions such as tissue injuries, infections, cancers, and renal and cardiovascular diseases. Conventional techniques for detecting CRP are based on antigen–antibody, agglutination, and precipitation reactions. Newer methods based on immunoturbidimetry and immunonephelometry are also time-consuming and relatively expensive. For solving these problems, highly efficient techniques based on CRP-biosensors have been introduced. Here, our aim was to summarize the features of recent biosensors for detection of CRP in biological…
Recent advances on nanomaterial based electrochemical and optical aptasensors for detection of cancer biomarkers
Abstract Cancer is a real menace to all societies globally since it is the leading cause of premature mortality in men and women. The incidence of malignancies is enhancing as a result of plenty factors. Physically and economically concerns that occur in cancers patients cannot be neglected. However, current diagnostic methods and cure duration do not fulfill patients requirements. Therefore, it is essential to detect and diagnose cancer biomarkers as soon as possible and overcome the current burdens. Novel aptasensors is emerging as one of the most promising strategies for early recognition of cancer. Aptamers an artificial DNA or RNA sequences, possess plenty of merits such as easy produc…
Recent progress in optical and electrochemical biosensors for sensing of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin
Abstract Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein which produced from Clostridium botulinum and related species and it block acetylcholine release from presynaptic nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junctions. This toxin is life threatening for millions of people and growing menace to society since causing human botulism. Enzymatic activity of Botulinum neurotoxin within the cell made it hazardous and lead to flaccid paralysis. However, there isn't any reliable and precise remedy for this toxin. Therefore, there is an urgent need for early detection of this toxin in a fast and meticulous way with a robust and cost-effective relationship for real-time monitoring of Botulinum neurotoxin. Sev…
Monitoring of microRNA using molecular beacons approaches: Recent advances
Abstract Micro ribose nucleic acid (miRNA) recognition is of remarkable significance in the investigation of its functions as well as diagnosis of various diseases. The significance of miRNA itself is owing to the complex regulatory roles in several physiological processes and its close association with important diseases such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and different kinds of cancers. On the other hand, there are numerous challenges to conquer in the recognition of miRNA, consisting of low abundance, varied concentration range, small size, prolonged extraction process from cells and sequence resemblances. Traditional approaches for miRNA recognition do not mee…
Metal-organic frameworks conjugated with biomolecules as efficient platforms for development of biosensors
Abstract Recent developments in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have renewed the interests of scientists to bring about a major breakthrough in this field soon. These particles consist of ultra-highly porous and tremendous internal surface areas with extraordinary variabilities that make them highly potent compounds in nanomedicine. Moreover, low weight, large free volumes, and multiple functionalities of these particles have made them extremely attractive for various applications. Along with a critical role in the adsorption and separation of different analytes, they also have an immense role in the development of biosensor platforms that are expected to pave the way for accur…
