The black spots on old banana peels may unlock a faster, easier diagnosis of human skin cancer, boosting survival chances, scientists revealed. When bananas ripen, their skin is covered in small, round black spots caused by an enzyme known as tyrosinase. The same enzyme is present in human skin, and in greater quantities in people suffering from melanoma - the deadliest form of skin cancer.
The black spots on bananas are caused by an enzyme called tyrosinase. Switzerland’s Scientists found that the enzyme is also present in human skin and in greater quantities in people suffering from melanoma - the deadliest form of skin cancer.
A team of scientists used this observed commonality to build a cancer scanner, which they then refined and tested at length on banana peels before moving on to human tissue.
First, researchers at the Laboratory of Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry in Switzerland concluded that the enzyme is a reliable marker of melanoma growth.
