The use of plant extract synthesized nanoparticles in the development and fabrication of optical or electrochemical (bio)sensors presents major advantages. Besides their low-cost fabrication and scalability, these nanoparticles may have a dual role, serving as a transducer component and as a recognition element, the latter requiring their functionalization with specific components. Different approaches, such as surface modification techniques to facilitate precise biomolecule attachment, thereby augmenting recognition capabilities, or fine tuning functional groups on nanoparticle surfaces are preferred for ensuring stable biomolecule conjugation while preserving bioactivity. Size optimization, maximizing surface area, and tailored nanoparticle shapes increase the potential for robust interactions and enhance the transduction. This article specifically aims to illustrate the adaptability and effectiveness of these biosensing platforms in identifying precise biological targets along with their far-reaching implications across various domains, spanning healthcare diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and diverse bioanalytical fields. By exploring these applications, the article highlights the significance of prioritizing the use of natural resources for nanoparticle synthesis. This emphasis aligns with the worldwide goal of envisioning sustainable and customized biosensing solutions, emphasizing heightened sensitivity and selectivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios13121031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]],"date-time":"2023-12-15T06:53:16Z","timestamp":1702623196000},"page":"1031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Low-Cost Plant-Based Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticle Synthesis and Their Use in Optical and Electrochemical (Bio)Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9023-4921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iulia Corina","family":"Ciobotaru","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Materials Physics, 405A Atomistilor, 077125 Magurele, Romania"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Oprea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Materials Physics, 405A Atomistilor, 077125 Magurele, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, 405 Atomistilor, 077125 Magurele, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7724-9061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Constantin Claudiu","family":"Ciobotaru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Materials Physics, 405A Atomistilor, 077125 Magurele, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1848-6753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teodor Adrian","family":"Enache","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Materials Physics, 405A Atomistilor, 077125 Magurele, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2200083","DOI":"10.1002\/adsu.202200083","article-title":"Advances in Materials and Technologies for Gas Sensing from Environmental and Food Monitoring to Breath Analysis","volume":"7","author":"Milone","year":"2023","journal-title":"Adv.
