Article Abstract
Hypothyroidism is a global concern that needs to be monitored, controlled and treated. Thyroxine is the most common biomarker for the diagnosis of hypothyroidism and a therapeutic hormonal replacement for hypothyroid patients. People suffering from hypothyroidism need to monitor their levels of thyroxine to avoid health complications. Diagnostic labs are not always easily accessible and, hence, point-of-care biosensors can become a useful alternative. Several studies have shown high sensitivity, selectivity and stability but there is no commercial point-of-care biosensing device available. This paper presents the critical aspects, including the need for thyroxine biosensors, the physicochemical properties of the thyroxine molecule, nanomaterials and bioreceptors used for sensing. The challenges and prospects of thyroxine biosensors are also discussed.

The measurement of thyroid hormones in serum is widely regarded as the most valuable single laboratory tool for assessing thyroid function. This study presents a highly sensitive tin disulfide nanosheet-fabricated field-effect transistor (SnS-FET) designed for the detections of human thyroid-stimulating hormone (hTSH) and thyroxine (T4). By co-modifying an antibody (Ab for detecting hTSH), or a DNA aptamer (Apt for detecting T4), with polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the SnS-FET channel surface, the PEG:Ab/SnS-FET and PEG:Apt/SnS-FET devices achieve highly sensitive and selective detections of hTSH and T4, respectively, even in a high ionic strength buffer (1× PBS) or undiluted serum.

To develop a biosensing platform for precise diagnosis and management of thyroid-related diseases, the sensitive and selective recognition and identification of L-thyroxine (T4), a thyroid hormone, remains challenging. We herein introduce T4-imprinted mesoporous organosilica (T4-IMO) for sensitive and specific detection of T4 via the sophisticated engineering of pore surfaces using additives with different polarities. The pore surface of T4-IMO emitting a stable fluorescence signal is simply modified by fixed additives.

Concurrent measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) hormones profoundly help clinicians diagnose hyper- and hypothyroidism. This work demonstrates the development of a sandwich-type electrochemical immunoassay using Janus and magnetic nanoparticles for one-pot detection of thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The signaling probe was developed by preparing Janus cadmium (CdO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs decorated by T4/TSH-specific molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP-CdO and MIP-ZnO).
