▎ 摘  要

Increasing access to modern clinical practices concomitantly extends lifespan, ironically revealing new classes of degenerative and inflammatory diseases of later years. Here, an electronic graphene field-effect transistor (gFET) is reported, termed EV-chip, for label-free, rapid identification and quantification of exosomes (EV) associated with aging through specific surface markers, CD63 and CD151. Studies suggest that blood-derived exosomes carry specific biomolecules that can be used toward diagnostic applications of age and health. However, to observe improvements in patient outcomes, earlier detection at the point-of-care (POC) is required. Unfortunately, conventional techniques and other electronic-based platforms for exosome sensing are burdensome and inept for the POC distinction of aged blood factors. It is shown that EV-chip can quantitatively detect purified exosomes from plasma, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2 x 10(4) particles mL(-1) and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 6 x 10(4) particles mL(-1). The sensitivity and compact electronics of the EV-chip improves upon previously published electronic bio-sensors, making it ideal for a physician's office or a simple biological laboratory. The sensitivity, selectivity, and portability of the EV-chip demonstrate the potential of the biosensor as a powerful point-of-care diagnostic and prognostic tool for age-related diseases.
