: Detecting oral disease biomarkers directly from saliva using molecularly imprinted 2D surfaces.
: Moving diagnostics out of the lab and into the hands of patients through affordable, miniaturized biosensing systems. Future Outlook : Detecting oral disease biomarkers directly from saliva
Current reviews suggest that the transition from lab-scale innovation to commercial medical products will require robust marketing strategies and standardized manufacturing to ensure these "useful inconsistencies" can be reproduced reliably at scale.

: Integration into thin, skin-friendly patches (as thin as 3mm) for continuous imaging of internal organs or tracking real-time biochemical changes.
: While industrial manufacturing typically aims for perfect uniformity, this research argues that "inconsistencies"—such as atomic-level defects or uneven layers in 2D material supplies—can be strategically utilized. These irregularities often act as "active sites" that are more reactive to specific biomarkers than a perfect crystal lattice.
: By using materials that are only a few atoms thick, researchers can build sensors small enough to be integrated into "tiny" disposable devices or wearable patches. Potential Medical Applications
