Created olfactory sensor, works as the human nose

Scientists are one step closer to the creation of a sensor that mimics the human nose job, reports the BBC. U.S. researchers say they have overcome one of the biggest hurdles - mass production of proteins called On average, the 100 million people of these receptors, researchers reported at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology "odorant receptors.". The scientists hope that, by the sensor by "sniffing" some cancers, the distinctive flavors have to be created. In the area of improved odor sensors employ many scientists around the world. These devices have a wide range of applications in industry and medicine. But in a time when many people are using artificial sensors, U.S. scientists have created a device that creates the biological characteristics of the human nose repeatedly. The human nose recognizes various combinations of molecules, which are then interpreted by the brain. He has over 300 varieties of olfactory receptors in the membranes surrounding the cells. Attempts to create artificial receptors in the required amount previously failed, as their structure can be easily damaged if you learned from some of their surroundings. However, scientists from Massachusetts could create an environment that protected the receptors in their work. The test results showed that the protein produced to keep the ability to bind to molecules that need to be recognized. According to experts, the new device for the diagnosis of various diseases that contribute to produce the distinctive molecule. Still need further testing of the new device, but the researchers hope that they use the olfactory sensors in different areas of production, and that it works better than regular email.
