    Collagen peptides are key structural proteins that play an important role in maintaining the integrity and proper function of multiple tissues in the human body. Their breakdown is recognized as an important biomarker for various degenerative conditions, including the loss of muscle mass, joint and bone disorders, and compromised skin health. Current analytical approaches for collagen detection, such as ultraviolet spectrometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and histochemical staining, are widely used but often expensive, time-consuming, and reliant on specific laboratory instrumentation, limiting their practicality for routine or rapid diagnostics. This study reports a novel biosensor for collagen peptide detection based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) integrated with screen-printed electrodes (SPEs). Electrochemical measurements revealed a clear correlation between collagen concentration and current response, confirming effective molecular binding within the imprinted matrix. The optimized MIP-modified electrode exhibited a detection range of 0.1–1000 µg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.0106 µg/mL, limit of quantification (LOQ) of 4.46 µg/mL, sensitivity of 8.3816, and correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9436). These results highlight strong selectivity and sensitivity toward collagen peptides. The proposed MIP-based biosensor provides a rapid, low-cost platform for detecting collagen degradation products and holds potential for early diagnosis and future clinical applications in degenerative disease monitoring.

    Depression and anxiety are two common mental health issues that require serious attention, as they have significant impacts on human well-being, with both being emotionally and physically reflected in the increasing number of suicide cases globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that about 322 million people around the world experienced mental illnesses in 2017, and this number continues to increase. Cortisol is a major stress-controlled hormone that is regulated by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis has three main components, including the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal gland, where cortisol, the primary stress hormone, is released. It plays crucial roles in responding to stress, energy balance, and the immune system. The cortisol level in the bloodstream usually increases when stress develops. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been highlighted in terms of creating artificial bioreceptors by mimicking the shape of detected biomolecules, making natural bioreceptor molecules no longer required. MIPs can overcome the limitations of chemicals and physical properties reducing over time and the short-time shelf life of natural bioreceptors. MIPs’ benefits are reflected in their ease of use, high sensitivity, high specificity, reusability, durability, and the lack of requirement for complicated sample preparation before use. Moreover, MIPs incur low costs in manufacturing, giving them a favorable budget for the market with simple utilization. MIPs can be formulated by only three key steps, including formation, the polymerization of functional monomers, and the creation of three-dimensional cavities mimicking the shape and size of targeting molecules. MIPs have a high potential as biosensors, especially working as bioanalytics for protein, anti-body, antigen, or bacteria detection. Herein, this research proposes an MIP-based cortisol biosensor in which cortisol is imprinted on methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) produced by UV polymerization. This MIP-based biosensor may be an alternative method with which to detect and monitor the levels of hormones in biological samples such as serum, saliva, or urine due to its rapid detection ability, which would be of benefit for diagnosing depression and anxiety and prescribing treatment. In this study, quantitative detection was performed using an electrochemical technique to measure the changes in electrical signals in different concentrations of a cortisol solution ranging from 0.1 to 1000 pg/mL. The MIP-based biosensor, as derived by calculation, achieved its best detection limit of 1.035 pg/mL with a gold electrode. Tests were also performed on molecules with a similar molecular structure, including Medroxyprogesterone acetate and drospirenone, to ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensors, demonstrating a low sensitivity and low linear response.
