摘要: A wearable sweat sensor for detecting one or more analytes in human sweat comprises an optical module comprising at least one light source and at least one light detector; at least one sensor layer optically coupled to the optical module and having optical absorbance properties that are dependent on the concentration of a target analyte of said one or more analytes; and one or more processors in communication with the optical module. The one or more processors are configured to: cause light from the at least one light source to be transmitted towards, and/or through, the at least one sensor layer; obtain, from the at least one light detector, one or more optical signals reflected and/or transmitted from the at least one sensor layer; and determine, from at least one wavelength component of the one or more optical signals, a target analyte concentration.

摘要: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of neurology. In particular, the disclosure relates to a method of detecting a neurodegenerative disease in a subject and methods of treatment thereof. The methods include detecting the level of an exosome-bound aggregated biomarker in a sample obtained from the subject, wherein an increased level of the exosome-bound aggregated biomarker as compared to a reference indicates that the subject is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease. Also described are methods for detecting a subject at risk of developing amyloidosis or a neurodegenerative disease, methods for detecting and treating amyloidosis or a neurodegenerative disease in a subject, and methods of determining the aggregation state of a biomarker in a sample.

摘要: The present invention provides methods and devices for specific detection of nucleic acids using an integrated circuit of two independent enzyme-DNA nanostructures—an easily adjustable recognition element and a sensitive universal signaling element—to decouple target recognition and visual signal amplification. The recognition element comprises a DNA polymerase enzyme, a DNA polymerase enzyme-specific DNA aptamer and an inverter oligonucleotide. In the presence of a target nucleic acid, the inverter oligonucleotide binds to the target nucleic acid and releases the DNA polymerase enzyme from inhibition by the DNA aptamer. The activated DNA polymerase enzyme is then contacted with a signaling nanostructure comprising a self-priming portion responsive to the DNA polymerase enzyme, in the presence of labelled dNTPs and signal development reagents, wherein the activated DNA polymerase enzyme would add the labelled dNTPs to the self-priming portion, followed by the binding of the signal development reagents to the labelled dNTPs.

摘要: Devices and methods for analysing extracellular vesicle glycans are described. According to an embodiment, a microfluidic device comprises an inlet portion configured to receive a fluid sample; a mixing portion fluidically coupled to the inlet portion and configured to facilitate mixing between the fluid sample and magnetic nanoparticles functionalized to bind with extracellular vesicles and aggregate to vesicle glycans in the fluid sample; a magnetic separation portion fluidically coupled to the mixing portion and configured to separate clusters of magnetic nanoparticles from the fluid sample; and a magnetic sensor configured to measure magnetic properties of the fluid sample after it has passed through the magnetic separation portion. The magnetic nanoparticles may configured to aggregate in the presence of respective lectins when bound with extracellular vesicles carrying target glycans. In a specific embodiment, the magnetic particles comprise a magnetic polycore coated with polydopamine.

摘要: The present disclosure relates generally to a sensor chip and methods for the detection of an analyte. In particular, the disclosure relates to a sensor chip for detecting an analyte in a subject suffering from a neurodegenerative disease. The sensor chip comprises a conductive layer on a membrane support layer, wherein a plurality of apertures extend through the conductive layer and the membrane support layer and are arranged such that illumination of the conductive layer and/or the membrane support layer produces a surface plasmon resonance.
