In this study, a hydrogel sensor for cancer detection was developed using ureidopyriminone-conjugated gelatin (Gel-UPy) containing diselenide-containing carbon dots (dsCD). In dsCD, diselenide bonds are cleaved by glutathione (GSH) or reactive oxygen species (ROS) to increase hydrogen bonds and affect the self-healing ability, conductivity and adhesion of Gel-UPy / dsCD hydrogels. Tumor conditions containing GSH and ROS (MDA-MB-231) show faster self-healing of hydrogels, unlike normal conditions (MDCK). Also, the formation of hydrogen bonds by cleavage of diselenide bonds affects the electrochemical signal. Gel-UPy / dsCD hydrogel shows excellent adhesion and in vivo cancer detection ability after exposure to GSH or ROS, which is similar to the results observed in low concentration environments.
