The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

Abstract Point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies for early stage diagnosis and real-time
monitoring of medical conditions are important element of healthcare strategy to improve …

Odors elicit complex patterns of activated olfactory sensory neurons. Knowing the complete
olfactome, ie the responses in all sensory neurons for all relevant odorants, is desirable to …

Simple Summary Tephritid fruit flies comprise pests of high agricultural relevance and
species that have emerged as global invaders. Chemical signals play key roles in multiple …

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. Because tumors detected at early
stages are easier to treat, the search for biomarkers—especially non-invasive ones—that …

There is overwhelming evidence that presence of cancer alters cellular metabolic
processes, and these changes are manifested in emitted volatile organic compound (VOC) …

Biological olfactory systems are highly sensitive and selective, often outperforming
engineered chemical sensors in highly complex and dynamic environments. As a result …

In this review, we describe advances in biosensors and bioimaging techniques for gas-
phase biochemical molecules. These techniques exploit the high specificity of …

Whilst the senses of vision and hearing have been successfully automated and miniaturized
in portable formats (eg smart phone), this is yet to be achieved with the sense of smell. This …

Among all the senses, olfactory system of mammals is the least characterised as far as the
mechanisms of odour identification are concerned. The results of recent investigations allow …
