The impressive chemistry shown by porphyrins in natural systems is particularly attractive for
exploitation in chemical sensors. In these devices the sensing mechanisms can mimic most …

Previous finding shown that the composition of the breath of patients with lung cancer contains
information that could be used to detect the disease. These volatiles are mainly alkanes …

The use of gas sensor arrays as medical diagnosis instruments has been proposed several
years ago. Since then, the idea has been proven for a limited number of diseases. The case …

The analysis of volatile compounds is an efficient method to appraise information about the
chemical composition of liquids and solids. This principle is applied to several practical …

The measure of quality of post-harvest fruits is considered a promising application field for
electronic nose technology such as the detection of defects. Among the possible defects …

For the instrumental analysis of fish freshness, several different methods have been proposed
based on different principles (such as mechanical, electrical, and optical). Although, it is …

Background Analysis of exhaled breath by biosensors discriminates between patients with
asthma and healthy subjects. An electronic nose consists of a chemical sensor array for the …

Immunotherapy efficacy relies on the crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment between
cancer and dendritic cells (DCs) resulting in the induction of a potent and effective antitumor …

Fungal growth on cereal grains decreases their nutritional value and constitutes health
hazards, probably, because of the production of toxic metabolites (mycotoxins). Therefore, …

A major challenge in cancer research is the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, which
includes the host immunological setting. Inspired by the emerging technology of organ-on-…
