螞蟻能嗅出癌癥的味道
Ants have the ability to sniff out cancerous cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in the future.
一項新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，螞蟻能嗅出人體內的癌細胞，這表明螞蟻可用于未來對癌癥的診斷。
Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca has a well developed sense of smell.
法國國家科學研究中心的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，絲光褐林蟻的嗅覺非常發(fā)達。
It was able to differentiate cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed.
有限的試驗顯示，這種螞蟻的嗅覺超強，能夠將人體的癌細胞同健康細胞區(qū)分開來。
But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said.
但是該研究團隊表示，還需要進行更多臨床測試才能將絲光褐林蟻用于醫(yī)院等臨床環(huán)境中。
