Artificially Intelligent Olfaction for Fast and Noninvasive Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer from Urine.

Globally, bladder cancer (BLC) is one of the most common cancers and has a high recurrence and mortality rate. Current clinical diagnostic approaches are either invasive or inaccurate. Here, we report on a cost-efficient, artificially intelligent chemiresistive sensor array made of polyaniline (PANI) derivatives that can noninvasively diagnose BLC at an early stage and maintain postoperative surveillance through ″smelling″ clinical urine samples at room temperature.

MoS/MXene pillared nanocomposite for ultrafast photonics applications.

In this work, we used nanocomposite saturable absorbers (SAs) in order to precisely design and modulate the process of compositing the light absorption by band gap engineering. Due to the higher absorption intensity of our MoS/MXene nanocomposite, we have successfully shortened the pulse duration (1.2s) of SA with enhancing saturable absorption intensity (7.

ZnO nanowire arrays exhibit cytotoxic distinction to cancer cells with different surface charge density: cytotoxicity is charge-dependent.

Using distinct ZnO NW arrays to provide positively charged surface, charge effect on cytotoxicity is investigated. 1-D structure of ZnO NWs is the main factor leads to apoptosis accompanied by ROS enrichment and GSH depletion, and electrostatic interaction between positively charged ZnO NWs and negatively charged cells make important contribution to the degree of ZnO NW arrays damaging cell membrane.
