Advanced Carbon-Based Biosensors

As the demand for highly sensitive, portable, and cost-effective biosensors rises in fields such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety, biosensors based on carbon materials have emerged as versatile and promising solutions. Innovative use of carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes has enabled the development of next-generation biosensors with enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and analytical performance, supporting real-time monitoring and a wider range of applications. Despite significant advances, including the creation of wearable sensors and miniaturized point-of-care devices, further research is needed to fully exploit the potential of carbon materials by addressing challenges in stability, manufacturability, reliability, and data accuracy, especially within complex, real-world sample environments.This Research Topic aims to highlight the most recent advances and technological breakthroughs in carbon-based biosensors. The goal is to bring together cutting-edge research and developments that address both scientific and engineering challenges, including sensor performance, miniaturization, user-friendliness, and device integration. By highlighting effective strategies and innovative approaches, this collection aims to foster the development of practical biosensor solutions for a wide range of applications.To gather further insights in the development and application of carbon-based biosensors, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes: • Carbon material-enhanced biosensors leveraging unique properties of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other carbon materials to improve sensor performance • Wearable and flexible biosensors designed for the real-time monitoring of physiological parameters • Point-of-care diagnostics with a focus on miniaturization, portability, and integration with mobile technologies for rapid and easy detection • Aptasensors and immunosensors for highly specific detection of biomarkers, pathogens, and environmental pollutants • Optical, electrical, and other biosensing approaches that use carbon materials as active sensing elements or supporting interfaces • Integration of machine learning in biosensor data analysis to refine sensitivity and manage noise in complex sample matrices Topic editors: Martín Fernández Baldo, Francisco Gabriel Ortega Sánchez, DANIEL MATIAS REGIART Source: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/78633/advanced-carbon-based-biosensors
