Summary: As electrochemical measuring instruments, screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are simple, inexpensive, and rapid to analyze substances with high reproducibility, sensitivity, and accuracy. The latest research has focused on expanding SPE electrochemical biosensors, such as aptasensors, immunosensors, DNA sensors, and enzymatic biosensors, to identify, distinguish, and quantify various biocompounds. This review discusses the use of different nanomaterials in manufacturing on-screen electrode methods and strategies for stable diagnosis of biorecognition elements in the future.

Summary: Periodically excessive use of pesticides in agricultural production has led to ecotoxicity and environmental pollution. Biosensing technique is a complementary tool to classical chromatographic methods for rapid, in situ analysis. Screen-printed electrode (SPE) is a widely used method for pesticides detection due to its low cost, easy integration, versatility, and portability. This review provides an overview of the screen-printing technique and SPE, including their definition, preparation procedure, advantages, and discusses the utilization of SPE in detecting pesticides using various bioreceptors and nanomaterials. The sensing principles, analytical performance, advantages, and shortcomings of SPE-based sensors are summarized, and the current challenges and future directions for SPE and SPE-based electrochemical sensors for pollutants are outlined.

Summary: This paper introduces a straightforward electrochemical method for quantifying urinary miRNA using disposable biosensors to distinguish between DKD patients and control subjects. Aberrant miRNA expression has been observed in several major human disorders, and a urinary miRNA signature for DKD has been identified. The method shows great clinical and commercial potential for quantitative miRNA detection in liquid biopsies and may serve as a platform for non-invasive high-throughput screening.

Summary: Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a sensitive analytical method for surface and bulk properties. Here, we demonstrated redoxless ECS for directly determining surfactant adsorption on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs), providing excellent capacitance plot loci for quantifying the interfacial permittivity of dielectric layers on electrode surfaces. Our proposed approach may serve as a starting point for future probeless and label-free biosensors based on electrochemistry, eliminating disturbance with surface charge properties and minimizing forced potential bias by avoiding redox couples.

Summary: This study aimed to identify B- and T-cell epitopes of HPV-16 L1 protein, with bioinformatic analysis predicting potential immunogenic epitopes. The selected T-cell epitopes showed strong binding affinity to HLA molecules, while the B-cell epitopes may be associated with neutralizing antibody response. These predicted epitopes are promising targets for epitope-based vaccine development against HPV-16, pending further in vivo and in vitro experiments for confirmation.
