Excited to share that our review paper, published in Chemosensors (MDPI), has been featured as the cover article! :-D This review highlights the potential of diagnosing cancers and other diseases through analyzing body-emitted volatiles (volatolome), offering a rapid, non-invasive approach via olfactory health fingerprints. It examines the challenges in achieving this vision and the innovations needed, [...]
