Can’t Smell Well? It Could More Problematic Than You Think

Researches have shown that locusts can “smell” the cancer cells, and they can also distinguish between different cancer cell lines, this could provide the basis for devices that use insect sensory neurons to enable the early detection of cancer using a patient’s breath
