Background:

Developing smart biomaterials for quantitative analysis of biological systems is crucial in biophysics, biology, and medicine.
High temporal resolution and biomimetic environments are key challenges in biosensing.

Purpose of the Study:

To create a water-based soft biomaterial with tunable mechanical properties for biosensing.
To develop an electroconductive hydrogel capable of detecting glucose concentration.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an electroconductive polyacrylamide hydrogel loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Characterization using MicroRaman mapping, optical analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.
Assessment of cell adhesion, long-term culture, and myoblast differentiation using atomic force microscopy.

Main Results:

SWNTs formed an electroconductive nano-element network within the hydrogel, comparable to gold electrodes.
The GOx-SWNT doped hydrogels demonstrated a linear glucose response from 0.1 mM to 1.6 mM.
High glucose detection limits (down to 15 μM) and sensitivity (0.63 μA mM⁻¹) were achieved.
The hydrogels supported cell adhesion and myoblast differentiation, with tunable stiffness.

Conclusions:

The developed electroconductive hydrogel is a promising smart biomaterial for quantitative biosensing.
The material's tunable mechanical properties and biocompatibility enable monitoring of cellular dynamics.
This technology holds potential for applications in biophysics, biology, and medicine.
