The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 1037-1060, April 2026.Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

Advantage of the Highly Restricted Odorant Receptor Expression Pattern in Chemosensory Neurons of Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2013 A fundamental molecular feature of olfactory systems is that individual neurons express only one receptor from a large odorant receptor gene family. While numerous theories have been proposed, the functional significance and evolutionary advantage of ...

A Minimal Threshold of c-di-GMP Is Essential for Fruiting Body Formation and Sporulation in Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]
, 2016 Generally, the second messenger bis-(3’-5’)-cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) regulates the switch between motile and sessile lifestyles in bacteria. Here, we show that c-di-GMP is an essential regulator of multicellular development in the social bacterium ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

The evolution of olfactory gene families in Drosophila and the genomic basis of chemical-ecological adaptation in Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
, 2016 How the evolution of olfactory genes correlates with adaption to new ecological niches is still a debated topic. We explored this issue in Drosophila suzukii, an emergin gmodel that reproduces on fresh fruit rather than in fermenting substrates likemost ...

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Mechanisms by which sialylated milk oligosaccharides impact bone biology in a gnotobiotic mouse model of infant undernutrition [PDF]
, 2019 Undernutrition in children is a pressing global health problem, manifested in part by impaired linear growth (stunting). Current nutritional interventions have been largely ineffective in overcoming stunting, emphasizing the need to obtain better ...

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Rhythmic breathing movements driven by the brainstem rely on chemosensory inputs to homeostatically adjust motor output to the prevailing metabolic demand. The central CO2 chemoreflex is a critical component of this neural circuitry, as defects in these sensors cause hypoventilation syndromes, which are typically difficult to manage ...
