The Science Connect TV Research News - Breakthrough Research-Honey Bees Can Sniff Out Lung Cancer.
Researchers at Michigan State University have made a surprising discovery: honeybees can sniff out lung cancer! Their keen sense of smell allows them to detect biomarkers, or chemical signatures, of lung cancer in human breath. The bees can even distinguish between different lung cancer types just by smelling cell cultures.
This exciting breakthrough, published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics in June 2024, paves the way for new, non-invasive lung cancer tests. The study involved attaching electrodes to bees' brains and exposing them to various scents. By monitoring their brain activity, researchers could differentiate between healthy and cancerous breath samples.
