Monitoring blood glucose levels is of great importance, especially for people at high risk of developing diabetes. To this end, an innovative biosensor device has been developed that uses a miniaturized and membraneless enzymatic fuel cell (EFC) as an electrical reader box for diabetes diagnosis at the point-of-care. Gold screen-printed electrodes (Au-SPE) were modified with the enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx), wh...
(Introduction) Myoglobin (Myo) is the first cardiac biomarker to be released into the bloodstream after the onset of symptoms of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), allowing earlier detection of this disease. Novel application based on Plastic Antibody that responds to a cardiac biomarker, Myo. Imprint stage with electropolymerization of ortho-phenylenediamine (OPD) in the presence of Myo. Template removal from ...
(Introduction) Early diagnosis of biomarkers is crucial for optimizing treatments and increasing survival rates. Direct and cost-effective assays are important for point-of-care (PoC) testing. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) monitoring indicates liver and kidney function and aids in the assessment of diseases such as cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease. An innovative electrochemical biosensor was developed in which...
(Introduction) Novel application Plastic Antibody that responds to a cardiac biomarker, myoglobin (Myo). Imprint stage with electropolymerization of ortho-phenylenediamine (OPD) in the presence of Myo. Template removal from polymeric matrix digested by trypsin. The films acted as biomimetic artificial antibodies and were fabricated on a screen-printed platinium (Pt) electrode (SPE) modified with electroactive P...
The integration of Microfluidics and Nanozyme peroxidase for the Colorimetric detection of Neurotransmitters represents a cutting-edge approach in neurochemical analysis. Microfluidics allows precise manipulation of small fluid volumes, reducing reagent consumption and accelerating reactions while integrating multiple analytical steps on a single chip. Nanozyme peroxidases, mimicking natural peroxidases, provid...
STEAP1 is a cell surface protein of the STEAP family whose main function focuses on intercellular communication and cell growth. STEAP1 is considered a promising putative biomarker and a candidate target for prostate cancer treatment. For specific and selective detection of STEAP1, a molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was developed on a screen-printed electrode (C-SPE) whose surface was modified with a nanoco...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia type and a leading cause of death and disability in the elderly. Diagnosis is expensive and invasive, urging the development of new, affordable, and less invasive diagnostic tools. The identification of changes in the expression of non-coding RNAs prompts the development of diagnostic tools to detect disease-specific blood biomarkers. Building on this idea, t...

Biomarkers from interstitial skin fluid (ISF) complement conventional biofluids for point-of-care testing and real-time monitoring. In this study, we propose a new approach that combines microneedle technology with molecularly imprinted polymers to improve transdermal electrochemical sensing. The molecularly imprinted polymer, which acts like a plastic antibody, is easy to synthesis and scalable, offering a low...
