Dr. Li Wen, director of MSU’s Microtechnology Lab, Dr. Debajit Saha, director of MSU’s Bioengineering of Oflactory Sensory Systems Lab at Michigan State University have developed a groundbreaking bioelectronic system that uses grasshopper olfactory neurons to detect cancer-related biomarkers in human breath. This innovative approach leverages the insect's natural ability to distinguish complex chemical signatures, enabling the system to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells based on metabolic changes.
