Odors from human skin cells can be used to identify melanoma
Odors from human skin cells can be used to identify melanoma - According to new research from the Monell Center and collaborating institutions, odors from human skin cells can be used to identify melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. In addition to detecting a unique odor signature associated with melanoma cells, the researchers also demonstrated that a nanotechnology-based sensor could reliably differentiate melanoma cells from normal skin cells.(10.1016/j.jchromb.2013.05.007)
