Chemical Sensors for Electronic Nose Systems
Chemical sensors have been widely used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds. Employing chemical sensors in an array format with pattern recognition provides a higher degree of selectivity and reversibility leading to an extensive range of applications. When such systems are used for odour analysis they are termed ‘electronic noses’. Application of electronic noses ranges from the food...
متن کاملSniffing Out the Right Address
Olfactory systems in organisms ranging from invertebrates to mammals distinguish between odors using an array of olfactory neurons that express different olfactory receptors—usually just one receptor in a given neuron. Since an organism’s genome can encode hundreds of olfactory receptors, researchers have struggled to understand how a single olfactory neuron decides which receptor to express. I...
متن کاملSniffing out early reaction intermediates.
P owerful tools for identifying reaction intermediates and byproducts of chemical reactions are crucial for the development of high-yield chemical syntheses, not only for testing theoretical mechanistic models and calculations, but also to obtain improved understanding of reaction mechanisms during trial experiments. This will enable more efficient steering toward optimum yields for a variety o...
متن کاملSniffing out prostate cancer: a new clinical opportunity
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the fifth most frequent cancer in the world and the second most diagnosed non-cutaneous cancer in men in the United States [1]. Currently, the evaluation of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels has reduced PCa mortality , but has also led to unnecessary biopsies, over-detection and – treatment [2]. Although tran-srectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy sampling...
متن کاملSNIFFING OUT SMELL: Odorant Detection, Coding, and Perception
Smell, the most ancient of all senses, is crucial for animal reproduction and survival. Humans can detect the most minute changes in odorant structures as a different perceived odor. Despite its significance, the mechanism of olfactory sensory perception remained unknown before 1991. Through research in my lab and others, we discovered a large multigene family containing approximately 1000 gene...
