ABSTRACT
Nucleic acid-based electrochemical (NBE) sensors offer real-time and reagent-free sensing capabilities that overcome limitations of target-specific reactivity via affinity-based molecular detection. By leveraging affinity probes, NBE sensors become modular and versatile, allowing the monitoring of a variety of molecular targets by simply swapping the recognition probe without the need to change their sensor architecture. However, NBE sensors have not been rigorously validated in vivo in terms of analytical performance and clinical agreement relative to benchmark methods. In this article, we highlight reports from the past three years that evaluate NBE sensors performance in vivo. We hope this discussion will inspire future translational efforts with statistically robust experimental design, thus enabling real-world clinical applications and commercial development of NBE sensors.
