Previous studies have shown that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potential biomarkers of breast cancer in murine models. However, an unanswered question is how urinary VOCs change over time. To explore this, BALB/c mice were injected with 4T1.2 murine tumor cells in the tibia…
SARS-CoV-2 was considered the third leading cause of death in the United States in 2020. Viral testing is the golden standard method to detect the virus. The downfall of current methods is the time that it takes to process and receive the sample results…

Electrospinning is the process of spinning a polymer melt or solution through a nozzle in the presence of a high-voltage electric field, which causes it to coalesce into a continuous filament…
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath are biological products of human metabolism and have been identified as potential biomarkers for diseases including lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and many other human conditions…
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine and other biological sample types have been demonstrated as biomarkers for breast cancer and many other diseases. Our group has investigated breast cancer progression through analyzing urinary VOCs over the course of three weeks using murine models…
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are metabolites expressed in breath that are potential biomarkers for numerous diseases. The gold standard for VOC profiling is gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, but these methods are expensive, time-consuming, and require advanced training for operation…
Urine is a potential source of volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers, as canines have shown the ability to detect diseases simply by smelling urine headspace…
Canines can identify prostate cancer with over 97% sensitivity and specificity simply by smelling urine. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) they have been trained to detect are potentially very accurate biomarkers for prostate cancer…
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by metabolic pathways have the potential to serve as possible biomarkers for noninvasive diagnostic applications…
