Abstract

Abstract : A bioelectronic platform based on graphene‐oxide‐functionalized natural microcapsules that enables label‐free detection of antibody‐antigen interactions with femtomolar sensitivity is reported on page 2097 by N.‐J. Cho and co‐workers. A natural cellular material (pollen spores) is combined with an electrically conductive material (reduced graphene oxide), and self‐assembles hierarchically to develop a 3D architecture with electroactive properties for high‐sensitivity bioelectronic platforms.
