Active Micro-Nano-Collaborative Bioelectronic Device for Advanced Electrophysiological Recording

The development of precise and sensitive electrophysiological recording platforms holds the utmost importance for research in the fields of cardiology and neuroscience.In recent years,active micro/nano-bioelectronic devices have undergone significant advancements,thereby facilitating the study of electrophysiology.The distinctive configuration and exceptional functionality of these active micro-nano-collaborative bioelectronic devices offer the potential for the recording of high-fidelity action potential signals on a large scale.In this paper,we review three-dimensional active nano-transistors and planar active micro-transistors in terms of their applications in electroexcitable cells,focusing on the evaluation of the effects of active micro/nano-bioelectronic devices on electrophysiological signals.Looking forward to the possibilities,challenges,and wide prospects of active micro-nano-devices,we expect to advance their progress to satisfy the demands of theoretical investigations and medical implementations within the domains of cardiology and neuroscience research.

Micro/nano biomedical devices for point-of-care diagnosis of infectious respiratory diseases

Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19)has developed into a global pandemic in the last two years,causing significant impacts on our daily life in many countries.Rapid and accurate detection of COVID-19 is of great importance to both treatments and pandemic management.Till now,a variety of point-of-care testing(POCT)approaches devices,including nucleic acid-based test and immunological detection,have been developed and some of them has been rapidly ruled out for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 due to the requirement of mass testing.In this review,we provide a summary and commentary on the methods and biomedical devices innovated or renovated for the quick and early diagnosis of COVID-19.In particular,some of micro and nano devices with miniaturized structures,showing outstanding analytical performances such as ultra-sensitivity,rapidness,accuracy and low cost,are discussed in this paper.We also provide our insights on the further implementation of biomedical devices using advanced micro and nano technologies to meet the demand of point-of-care diagnosis and home testing to facilitate pandemic management.In general,our paper provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances on the POCT device for diagnosis of COVID-19,which may provide insightful knowledge for researcher to further develop novel diagnostic technologies for rapid and on-site detection of pathogens including SARS-CoV-2.
