Summary: Two-dimensional (2d) materials are widely used in various fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In the field of biomedical diagnostics, field-effect transistor biosensors (bio-FETs) based on 2d nanomaterials show great potential. These bio-FETs not only enhance the bioassay process but also offer label-free, low-cost, real-time, highly sensitive, and selective detection of biomolecules. This review comprehensively focuses on different types of 2d-based bio-FETs, including Apta, DNA (Geno), Immuno, and enzymatic biosensors, and discusses their configurations, detection mechanisms, and potential applications in point-of-care (PoC) testing in biomedical samples.
