Psychological stress is a major factor contributing to health discrepancies among
individuals. Sustained exposure to stress triggers signalling pathways in the brain, which …

Background The accurate and rapid detection of trace small molecules such as pesticides
and veterinary drug residues, illegal additives, mycotoxins, and antibiotics is significant in …

Growing interest over recent years in personalized health monitoring coupled with the
skyrocketing popularity of wearable smart devices has led to the increased relevance of …

The sensitive cortisol detection by an electrochemical sensor based on silver nanoparticle-
doped molecularly imprinted polymer was successfully improved. This study describes the …

Depressive disorders belong to highly heterogeneous psychiatric diseases. Loss of in
interest in previously enjoyed activities and a depressed mood are the main characteristics …

The hormone cortisol, released as the end-product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
(HPA) axis, has a well-characterized circadian rhythm that enables an allostatic response to …

The monitoring of stress levels in humans has become increasingly relevant, given the
recent incline of stress-related mental health disorders, lifestyle impacts, and chronic …

Introduction Cortisol is one of the most prominent biomarkers used for the detection of
psychological stress and related disorders. It plays an important role in many physiological …

Cortisol, also known as the “stress hormone,” is secreted under the control of the
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis in response to psychobiological stress …

In this work, we report a simple electrochemical biosensor for cortisol (Cor) detection using a
molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). MIP was prepared by graft copolymerization method …
