Lung microcomputers showing how to feed

Small, swallowable submarines, equipped with small computers, temperature sensors, transmitters and batteries that can in the future show whether a diet is appropriate, control the digestive and health of the intestines, according to neurox1> Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology” (RMIT) University of Australia's Melbourne researchers.

These little computers can be <x0). The first results of this fantastic journey in the human body, experimented with seven healthy volunteers, are published in “Nature Electronics”.

According to RMIT scientists, co-ordinated by Kouros Kalantar zadeh, these microscopic submarines can be a valuable alternative to more complete diagnostic techniques.

In fact, the first data collected by these sensors, sent to the tablet and smartphone, has discovered a new immune defense mechanism in the human digestive tract.

The data shows that the stock produces toxic substances to fight foreign bodies. It is a special stomach defense mechanism that can be considered a new immune mechanism that has so far been overlooked. This information can help us better understand stomach disease as some form of cancer”, explains Kouros Kalantar Zadeh. / ATA.
