Critical Review
Dermal-fluid-enabled detection platforms for non-invasive ambulatory monitoring
This review highlights important biomarkers in blood and dermal fluids, i.e. sweat and interstitial fluid, and envisions non-invasive monitoring of dermal fluids in critical health concerns and drug therapy suitable for remote ambulatory monitoring.
Paper
Sustainable agriculture with LEAFS: a low-cost electrochemical analyzer of foliage stress
LEAFS (a low-cost electrochemical analyzer of foliage stress) measures SA, a biomarker for plant stress, in a blended leaf mixture or can be inserted directly in the plant leaf or stem for continuous monitoring.
Paper
Spectrally separated dual functional fluorescent nanosensors for subcellular lysosomal detection of hypochlorous acid and chloride
A dual-functional fluorescent nanosensor to monitor lysosomal Cl− and HClO concentration changes is presented here for the first time.
Paper
Passivating quantum dots against histag-displaying enzymes using blocking peptides: salient considerations for self-assembling quantum dot biosensors
Peptide-based passivation strategies were developed to prevent the unintended conjugation of his-tagged enzymes to quantum dot (QD) biosensors, enabling the application of QD biosensors in complex assays such as CRISPR-based diagnostics.
