This article reviews the recent progress in optical biosensors that use the label-free
detection protocol, in which biomolecules are unlabeled or unmodified, and are detected in …

Biomarkers play a vital role in disease detection and treatment follow-up. It is important to
note that diseases in the early stage are typically treated with the greatest probability of …

The detection techniques used in biosensors can be broadly classified into label-based and
label-free. Label-based detection relies on the specific properties of labels for detecting a …

Background: The measurement of multiple protein biomarkers may refine risk stratification in
clinical settings. This concept has stimulated development of multiplexed immunoassay …

With the growing number of fatalities resulting from the 100 or so cancer-related diseases,
new enabling tools are required to provide extensive molecular profiles of patients to guide …

For a number of years, the scientific community has been paying growing attention to the
monitoring and enhancement of public health and the quality of life through the detection of …

The ubiquitous nature of bacteria enables them to survive in a wide variety of environments.
Hence, the rise of various pathogenic species that are harmful to human health raises the …

Direct optical detection has proven to be a highly interesting tool in biomolecular interaction
analysis to be used in drug discovery, ligand/receptor interactions, environmental analysis …

Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that can be artificially generated by a method
called Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). The generated …

The availability of extensive genomic information and content has spawned an era of high‐
throughput screening that is generating large sets of functional genomic data. In particular …
