Flu-Detecting Chewing Gum: A Potential Home Diagnostic
Overview: A mouth-based diagnostic for influenza A novel approach to screening for influenza could replace traditional nasal swabs with a chewable gum or lozenge. Researchers have developed a molecular sensor that releases a distinctive flavor on contact with the influenza virus, turning a taste sensation into a diagnostic cue. Described in ACS Central Science, this…
