To gather more high-resolution images across the brain, researchers at Michigan State University have built a state-of-the-art imaging system that will capture brain activity with a level of detail that has never before been possible.

Locusts Can Detect Cancer in Humans…giving Us A Brilliant New Way to Save Lives - Industry Tap

Experts reveal that locusts can distinguish normal and malignant living tissues via their ability to smell, which might lead to early detection of cancer cells.

Scientists have demonstrated that locusts are adept at differentiating healthy human cells from cancerous cells using their sense of smell – and that could open opportunities for detecting the disease earlier, improving the chances of recovery.

Researchers at Michigan State University have shown that locusts can not only "smell" the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells, but they can also distinguish between different cancer cell lines.

New research could provide the basis for devices that use insect sensory neurons to enable the early detection of cancer using only a patient's breath.

Billions of years ago, bacteria began living inside other cells and carrying out essential functions. Genetic engineering could create new types of these ‘endosymbionts’
