    A research partnership between Tulane and Rice universities has resulted in a newly developed synthetic skin being used to study mosquito feeding habits and eliminate the need for human or animal testing. The gelatin-like skin can be 3D-printed and artificial intelligence is used to identify behavioral patterns.

    Humans produce a complex blend of odor cues that attract female mosquitoes, and these cues are typically detected by olfactory neurons expressing a single receptor. In female Aedes aegypti mosquitos, however, many of these neurons co-express multiple chemosensory receptors directly affecting mosquito behavior and challenging the canonical one-receptor-to-one-neuron organization.
