Biosensors that detect and convert biological reactions to a measurable signal have gained
much attention in recent years. Between 1950 and 2017, more than 150,000 papers have …

Healthcare resources are heavily burdened by infections that impede the wound-healing
process. A wide range of advanced technologies have been developed for detecting and …

Molecular sensors respond to target molecules in their surroundings to detect and
sometimes even quantify their concentrations. Traditionally comprised of small organic …

A smartphone-utilized biosensor was developed for detecting microbial spoilage on ground
beef, without using antibodies, microbeads or any other reagents, towards a preliminary …

Every 1.2 s, a diabetic foot ulcer is developed, and every 20 s, one amputation is carried out
in diabetic patients. Monitoring and controlling protease activity have been considered as a …

Infection is one of the most serious complications that can occur in wounds. Biomarkers can
be used as a tool directly related to infection. So, herein current methods and new …

The healing of chronic wounds requires intensive medical intervention at huge healthcare
costs. Dressing materials should consider the multifactorial nature of these wounds …

Hydrogels are 3D hydrophilic polymer networks that absorb and hold huge amounts of
water. Although hydrogels have traditionally been synthesized using chemical and physical …

Selective identification and rapid detection for multiple pathogenic bacteria are important to
prevent bacterial infection. Herein, gelatinase-responsive photonic crystal membrane (PCM) …
