Aptamer-Based Electrochemical Biosensing Platform for Analysis of Cardiac Biomarkers

Monitoring biomarkers secreted by cardiomyocytes is critical to evaluate anticancer drug-induced myocardial injury (MI). Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is considered the gold standard biomarker for MI. Herein, an electrochemical aptasensor is engineered for cTnI detection based on lanthanide europium metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) and a hybridization chain reaction-directed DNAzyme strategy. Three types of Eu-MOF morphologies were easily synthesized by changing the solvent, and the Eu-MOF modulated by mixing the solvent of dimethylformamide and H
