Fluorescent biosensors are powerful analytical tools for studying biological events in living systems. Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have attracted much research interest and have been identified as a novel class of luminogens to develop fluorescent turn-on biosensors with superior sensitivity. In this Tutorial Review, we present an overview of the AIE...

Printable wearable lactate biosensors have attracted significant attention, and printable biofuel cells gained popularity as suitable power supplies for these sensors. However, realizing an appropriate supply the practical application of sensors devices, it is necessary to improve output cells. In this study, we fabricated a cell that employed paper substrate using screen printing. The proposed...

Wearable gait retraining could enable benefits from laboratory retraining systems to extend to a broad portion of the population, which doesn’t live near or have access to laboratory gait retraining testing facilities. While few portable gait retraining systems utilize both wearable sensing and wearable feedback, several systems employ critical components. The purpose of this paper is to provid...

This review will examine the integration of two fields that are currently at the forefront of science, i.e. biosensors and microfluidics. As a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology, microfluidics has been enriched by the integration of various detection tools for analyte detection and quantitation. The application of such microfluidic platforms is greatly increased in the area of biosensors geared tow...

This paper deals with the dynamics of biosensors and networks of biosensors, where individual biosensors are constructed out of protein molecules. Such biosensors are fully functioning nano-machines. The paper explores methods for decentralized self-activation of networks of biosensors using game-theoretic methods. A global game analysis in terms of a Bayesian game, and a correlated equilibrium...

Whole-cell microbial biosensors are one of the newest molecular tools used in environmental monitoring. Such biosensors are constructed through fusing a reporter gene such as lux, gfp or lacZ, to a responsive promoter. There have been many reports of the applications of biosensors, particularly their use in assaying pollutant toxicity and bioavailability. This paper reviews the basic concepts b...

abstract introduction: nowadays, the advanced technology of designing electronic circuits in very small size and with very low power consumption has led to development of wearable and implantable medical devices. however, the electronic circuits need power supply that is usually provided by relatively large and heavy batteries. the discharged batteries have to replaced or recharged for long tim...

Fiber-optic DNA biosensors are a kind of analytic setups, which convert the Waston-Crick base pairs matching duplex or Hoogsteen’s triplex (T/A-T, C/G-C) formation into a readable analytical signals when functionalized singlestrands DNA (ssDNA) or double-strands DNA (dsDNA) of interest are immobilized on the surface of fiber-optic hybrids with target DNA or interacts with ligands. This review w...

Imperative utilization of biosensors has acquired paramount importance in the field of drug discovery, biomedicine, food safety standards, defense, security, and environmental monitoring. This has led to the invention of precise and powerful analytical tools using biological sensing element as biosensor. Glucometers utilizing the strategy of electrochemical detection of oxygen or hydrogen perox...
