Article Abstract
Conventional cancer detection and treatment methodologies are based on surgical, chemical and radiational processes, which are expensive, time consuming and painful. Therefore, great interest has been directed toward developing sensitive, inexpensive and rapid techniques for early cancer detection. Optical biosensors have advantages in terms of high sensitivity and being label free with a compact size. In this review paper, the state of the art of optical biosensors for early cancer detection is presented in detail. The basic idea, sensitivity analysis, advantages and limitations of the optical biosensors are discussed. This includes optical biosensors based on plasmonic waveguides, photonic crystal fibers, slot waveguides and metamaterials. Further, the traditional optical methods, such as the colorimetric technique, optical coherence tomography, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and reflectometric interference spectroscopy, are addressed.

Background: Effective modification of heavily calcified coronary lesions is critical for successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), cutting balloons (CBs), and ultra-high-pressure balloons (UHBs) are used commonly, yet data comparing their effectiveness and safety for calcified lesion modification remain unavailable.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of IVL, a CB, and a UHB on calcified coronary lesions in human cadaveric arteries, focusing on calcium fracture formation and vascular injury.

Background: Early diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains challenging, but liquid biopsy is emerging as a promising detection strategy. Here, we identified a novel bile biomarker for CCA and developed an optic fiber biosensor integrated with digestive endoscopy for real-time diagnosis in vivo.
Methods: A total of 583 subjects and two proteomic analyses were used to screen and validate biomarkers for CCA, and then the corresponding antibodies were generated to construct a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based optic fiber biosensor.
Three-Dimensional Afterglow Luminescence-MRI Fusion Tomography with Magnetically Targeted Luminescent-Magnetic Nanoparticles for Deep-Seated Tumor Imaging.

Optical imaging offers high sensitivity and specificity for noninvasive cancer detection, but conventional techniques suffer from limited probe accumulation, tissue autofluorescence, and poor depth resolution. Afterglow luminescence overcomes autofluorescence by emitting persistent light after excitation, yet its utility in vivo remains hindered by weak tumor enrichment and two-dimensional readouts lacking spatial context. Here, we report luminescent-magnetic nanoparticles (LM-NPs) coencapsulating luminescent trianthracene (TA) molecules and iron oxide cores within the amphiphilic polymer pluronic-F127.

Colloidal gold technology has revolutionized viral diagnostics through its rapid, cost-effective, and user-friendly applications, particularly in point-of-care testing (POCT). This review synthesizes recent advancements, focusing on its role in detecting respiratory viruses, hepatitis viruses, and emerging pathogens. The technology leverages the unique optical and physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and high surface-to-volume ratios, to achieve rapid antigen-antibody recognition with visual readouts within 15 min.

A series of molecular logic gates with multiple biocomputing capabilities have been successfully fabricated by using four antibiotic residues [tetracycline (TET), chloramphenicol (CHL), kanamycin (KAN), and streptomycin (STR)] as inputs. The lateral flow strip biosensor was utilized to realize the visual and portable sensing of logic events. Four basic logic gates (OR, AND, XOR, and INHIBIT) and three cascade logic circuits (OR-INHIBIT-AND, 3AND-OR, and XOR-INHIBIT-OR-AND) were constructed.
