Engineered anhydrobiotic cells detect odors after years of dry, room-temperature storage
Demand for odor detection is growing in diverse fields such as food security, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, but current technologies face limitations.

Demand for odor detection is growing in diverse fields such as food security, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, but current technologies face limitations. Living cells with olfactory receptors can serve as sensitive odor detectors; however, cell-based sensors require precise control of temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels.
