Investigators from University of South Africa Report New Data on Nanomaterials (Common Transition Metal Oxide Nanomaterials In Electrochemical Sensors for the Diagnosis of Monoamine Neurotransmitter-related Disorders).

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of South Africa explores the use of common transition metal oxide nanomaterials in electrochemical sensors for the diagnosis of monoamine neurotransmitter-related disorders. These disorders, which include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia, are characterized by an imbalance of biomolecules in the human system. The researchers discuss the application of metal oxide nanoparticles, such as ZnO, CuO, and TiO2, in the development of electrochemical sensors for the detection of monoamine neurotransmitters. The study highlights the mechanisms of redox reactions, analytical performance, and electrochemical properties of these nanomaterials. [Extracted from the article]
