Abstract

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is widely recognized as a highly sensitive technology for chemical detection and biological sensing. In SERS-based biomedical applications, developing highly efficient sensing platforms based on SERS plays a pivotal role in monitoring disease biomarker levels and facilitating the early detection of cancer biomarkers. Hyperuricemia, characterized by abnormally high concentrations of uric acid (UA) in the blood, was associated with a range of diseases, such as gouty arthritis, heart disease, and acute kidney injury. Recent reports have demonstrated the correlation between UA concentrations in blood and tears. In this work, we report the fabrication of SERS substrates utilizing ZnO nanocages and yolk-shell-structured plasmonic nanomaterials for the noninvasive detection of UA in tears. This innovative SERS substrate enables noninvasive and sensitive detection of UA to prevent hyperuricemia-related diseases.
