Recent advances in optical aptasensors for biomarkers in early diagnosis and prognosis monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma

“…Fluorescence-based strategies are often employed in constructing aptasensors for the target molecules due to advantages such as high sensitivity, strong specificity, and simple operation ( Jia et al, 2020 ). Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurs where dipole-mediated energy transfer occurs from the excited donor fluorophore to a proximal ground-state receptor ( Kaur et al, 2021 ). In the design of fluorescent aptasensors, FRET has been used extensively as the significant sensing form based on fluorescent quenching or fluorophore signal recovery strategies ( Cao et al, 2012 ; Shan et al, 2014 ; Yang B. et al, 2018 ).…”

Bicolour fluorescent molecular sensors for cations: design and experimental validation

“…A related phenomenon in which the emission involves an interaction between two fluorophores (Figure 5A) is the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). [53][54][55] This process consists of a non-radiative excitation transfer 56 from the excited donating (D*) group to the acceptor group (A) in its ground state (Figure 5B). This latter group relaxes via a A*(S1) → A(S0) process thus emitting in a different wavelength (Figure 5C).…”
