Olfactory receptors, classified as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), have been a subject of scientific inquiry since the early 1950s. Historically, investigations into the sensory mechanisms of ...

Olfactory receptors (ORs) play a crucial role in our ability to perceive smells, which significantly influences our experiences and interactions with the environment. Recent research has focused ...

Olfactory biosensors and bioelectronic detection systems are innovative technologies designed to mimic the human sense of smell. These systems utilize biological receptors to detect and identify ...

However, predators like sea stars and snails have evolved olfactory receptors specifically tuned to detect these compounds, turning the barnacles’ defensive mechanism into a homing beacon.

Olfr558 is a fairly straightforward olfactory receptor. It shows up, among many others of its kind, on the surface of cells in the nose in humans and other mammals. There it attaches to odor ...

They found that a feedback loop between the brain’s olfactory bulb (seen here) and olfactory cortex helps the animal rapidly switch between the associations.

The patent specifically relates to oral formulations of natural food molecules for treating diabetes mellitus and obesity by modulating ectopic olfactory, taste and related receptor activity.

24, 2024, Compositions and Methods for Treating Endocrine Diseases and Disorders. The patent specifically relates to oral formulations of natural food molecules for treating diabetes mellitus and ...

They found that a feedback loop between the brain’s olfactory bulb (seen here) and olfactory cortex helps the animal rapidly switch between the associations. Kaboom! The first time most of us ...

The authors offer compelling evidence that these changes are mediated by the invasion of ensheathing glia into the glomerulus where they phagocytose connections via a mechanism involving the ...
