Summary: Flexible and stretchable biosensors are increasingly utilized for acquiring high-fidelity signals in emerging applications. Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are ideal candidates for flexible and stretchable biosensing due to their soft nature, amplification function, biocompatibility, functionalization ease, low cost, and device diversity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in flexible-OTFT-based biosensors, discussing their features, functionalization strategies, applications in wearable, implantable, and portable electronics, as well as neuromorphic biointerfaces. Special attention is given to emerging stretchable organic transistors and their engineering routes for achieving stretchability, along with their implementations in e-skin and smart textiles. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field are also summarized.

Summary: In this study, a vertical microcavity and localized surface plasmon resonance hybrid biosensor was proposed for high-throughput detection of SARS-CoV-2. The simulation and experimental results showed that nanoporous gold (NPG) deposited sensors performed better in resonance quality and sensitivity compared to gold-deposited and pure microcavity sensors. The pre-clinical validation demonstrated that 40% porosity NPG sensors had the highest sensitivity for SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus in artificial saliva. The proposed automatic biosensing system showed potential for on-site coronavirus detection with sufficient sensitivity by delivering results of 100 samples within 30 minutes.
