Article Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP), a non-specific acute-phase indicator of inflammation, has been widely recognized for its value in clinical diagnostic applications. With the advancement of testing technologies, there have been many reports on fast, simple, and reliable methods for CRP testing. Among these, the aptamer-based biosensors are the focus and hotspot of research for achieving high-sensitivity analysis of CRP. This review summarizes the progress of in vitro aptamer screening for CRP and the recent advances in aptamer-based CRP sensor applications, thus developing insight for the new CRP aptasensor design strategy.

Food allergies pose a significant global health challenge, underscoring the need for effective detection and suppression methods. Conventional detection methods, such as ELISA and PCR, are often limited by challenges related to sensitivity and specificity, particularly when applied to complex food matrices. This review presents an overview of recent advancements in aptamer-based technologies, which present a promising approach for food allergen detection due to their high specificity and affinity for target molecules.

Mycotoxins, due to their high carcinogenic and genotoxic properties, pose a significant threat to global food safety. Traditional detection methods often fall short in meeting the demands for large-scale, real-time, simple, and rapid monitoring. As a result, innovative rapid detection approaches, leveraging advanced materials and sensor technologies, are emerging as key solutions for preventing food contamination.

Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind to specific target molecules with high affinity and specificity. Fluorescence DNA aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as powerful analytical tools for detecting diverse targets, ranging from food contaminants to disease biomarkers, owing to their exceptional specificity, high sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the design strategies of fluorescence aptasensors, focusing on three key approaches: (1) fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based signal amplification, (2) nanomaterial-enhanced probes, and (3) multi-channel platforms for simultaneous detection.

Pesticides are often used in agriculture to reduce post-harvest losses due to contamination and to increase productivity. Long-term exposure to these pesticides in food leads to serious health issues in humans and animals. Advanced sensing techniques are crucial for detecting pesticide traces in agricultural products present in low amounts.

Background/study Objectives: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a degenerative disease of the photoreceptor support system of the macula, is a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 60 years of age. In this exploratory longitudinal study, we studied VEGF-related proteins and other protein concentrations in the aqueous humor of patients with treatment naïve neovascular AMD (defined as patients with a previously untreated and recently diagnosed advanced neovascular form of AMD (NVAMD) who were eligible for an intra-vitreal administration of an anti-VEGF agent to treat choroidal neovascularization). The objectives of this small pilot study were: (1) To determine levels of VEGF-related proteins in the aqueous humor of treatment naïve NVAMD patients compared with control patients, (2) To determine whether levels of VEGF-related proteins change over time with anti-VEGF injections in NVAMD patients, (3) To put these differences into perspective relative to all protein targets and identify other off-target (non-VEGF) proteins that may be related to NVAMD or NVAMD treatment.
