The impedimetric detection of a protein, lysozyme (LYS), was carried out herein by aptamer-immobilized single-use pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). The aptamer was immobilized onto electrochemically activated surface of electrode without using any chemical agents, or any types of nanomaterials. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were applied to analyze the electrochemical behavior of unmodified PGE and aptamer immobilized PGE. The interaction of aptamer with its target protein, LYS, was then investigated by EIS. The limit of detection for LYS was found to be 1.44 μg/mL (equals to 100.65 nM). The developed aptasensor specific to LYS presented high selectivity against to bovine serum albumin and thrombin.

This research provides a constructive approach for developing high-performance polymer nanohybrids toward enhancing optoelectronic properties, fluorogenic viscosity sensing, and metal-free electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol to value-added organic(s). Herein, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and mildly oxidized RGO (MRGO) are strategically combined with fluorescent electroactive polymers (FEPs) to develop a promising sustainable metal-free electrocatalytic system suitable for amplifying opto-electrochemical properties, multiplatform sensing capacity, and electrocatalytic efficiency. The optimized polymeric counterpart (FEP2) promotes dual-state emission in the supramolecular network of RGO-/MRGO-incorporated fluorescent electroactive hybrid polymers (RFEHPs/MFEHPs) through physicochemically confined atypical electron-rich -C(═O)NH-/-C(═O)O-/-SOH fluorophores of (hydroxyethyl)methacrylate and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid monomers.

Aim: This study assessed electro-impedimetric detection (EIS-MARTI) of anti-mycolate antibodies (AMAb) in TB patients before, during, and after treatment, compared to sputum culture (MGIT) as the gold standard.
Methods: A prospective pilot study enrolled 15 confirmed TB patients and 73 healthy controls at a Pretoria hospital (2016-2017). A prospective monitoring study followed 25 confirmed TB patients over 6 months of treatment at a Pretoria clinic (2019-2020) to evaluate biomarker behavior.

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is a leading cause of cervical cancer among women worldwide. This study presents an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based biosensor for the sensitive and selective detection of HPV-16 mutant DNA. A single-stranded DNA probe complementary to the target sequence was immobilized on a gold interdigitated electrode (G-IDE) modified with lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite LaSrCoFeO (LSCF) nanopowder to enhance charge transfer.

The human Tau protein stands for one of the most conspicuous and crucial hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, along with other tauopathies. However, the assay for direct detection of tiny Tau protein concentrations in human samples continues to pose a significant challenge for the early diagnosis of AD. Thus, an amplification-based strategy is required.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide. Although prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used for PCa screening, it lacks specificity for distinguishing PCa from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). β-2-microglobulin (β2m) is a sensitive biomarker for malignant tumors and can complement the PSA for improved diagnostic accuracy.
