Naturally, the hope is that if the Doritos ingredient can have this kind of an impact on mice, it can also one day be utilized on humans for far simpler, less expensive tests. “I instantly looked at it and went, ‘my god, this is revolutionary,” said Christopher Rowlands, who works at Imperial College London as a senior lecturer and biophotonics researcher, to Popular Science.
Elaborating on how big of a deal the Doritos ingredient causing this kind of a change in mice is, Rowlands said, “In optics, we spend an awful lot of time trying to increase [how well we can see into tissue] by 20 percent or 50 percent. These guys come along, and they annihilate the boundary by a factor of 10.”
