Recent Advances in Electrochemical Biosensors Targeting Stress Markers.

Abstract

When the body experiences a change in its internal environment due to factors such as mood (euphoria, stress) and illness, it releases biomarkers in large quantities. These biomarkers are used for detecting a disease at its early stages. This involves the detection of insufficient quantities of biocomponents, which can be done by using nanomaterials, conventional materials, and biotechnology; thus, scientists can increase the sensitivity of electrochemical sensors. According to studies conducted in this area, electrochemical sensors have shown promise as a diagnostic tool due to their ability to identify and pinpoint illness biomarkers. The present review article was compiled to gather the latest information on electrochemical biosensors targeting stress markers. The authors searched scholarly databases like ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Medline, and Scopus for information on electrochemical biosensors targeting stress markers. In this article, we looked at the recent developments in electrochemical sensors for stress monitoring. Because of advances in nanomaterial and biomolecule processes, electrochemical biosensors have been developed with the sensitivity to detect several biomarkers in real-time in therapeutically relevant materials. This biomarker sensor strategy can analyze various biofluids (sweat, plasma, urine, and saliva).
