An unlikely multidisciplinary scientific collaboration has discovered that an electronic nose developed for air quality monitoring on Space Shuttle Endeavor can also be used to detect odor differences in normal and cancerous brain cells. The results of the pilot study open up new possibilities for neurosurgeons in the fight against brain cancer. Neurosurgeons used NASA's electronic nose to investigate the role of cellular odors in cellular trafficking and brain cancer metastasis. (source: sciencedaily.com)
