Chemosensorial G-proteins-Coupled Receptors: A Perspective from Computational Methods

, 2013
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the targets of about 40 % of all the pharmaceutical drugs in the market and, among other functions, a large portion of the family detects odorants and a variety of tastant molecules. Computational techniques are instrumental to understand structure, dynamics and function of the cascades triggered by these ...

Neurophysiological Responses to Extra Virgin and Refined Olive Oils: A Pilot Study Combining Flavor Profiling, Electroencephalogram, and Standardized Low‐Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents an integrated chemosensory approach combining electronic nose and electronic tongue systems with chemometric analysis to characterize the sensory properties of refined olive oils. Multivariate modeling revealed clear discrimination among samples based on aroma and taste profiles. The results demonstrate the potential of sensor‐based

Candidate odorant binding proteins and chemosensory proteins in the larval chemosensory tissues of two closely related noctuidae moths, Helicoverpa armigera and H. assulta

PLOS ONE, 2017
In order to acquire enough nutrients and energy for further development, larvae need to invest a large portion of their sensory equipments to identify food sources. Yet, the molecular basis of odor-driven behavior in larvae has been poorly investigated.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Identification and Comparison of Chemosensory Genes in the Antennal Transcriptomes of Eucryptorrhynchus scrobiculatus and E. brandti Fed on Ailanthus altissima

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The key to the coexistence of two or more species on the same host is ecological niche separation. Adult Eucryptorrhynchus scrobiculatus and E. brandti both feed on the tree of heaven, Ailanthus altissima, but on different sections of the plant ...

The Need to Promote Olfactory Health in Public Health Agendas Across the Globe

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 188-193, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A good sense of smell is essential for physical and mental health, and social wellbeing; however, across the globe, regardless of the setting, national public health agendas never consider smell health. This review aims to summarise the wide‐reaching impact of smell health in public health. Methods Narrative review of the literature

Lack of Structural Change in Olfactory Circuitry Following Fecal Microbiome Transplant From Donors Subjected to Diet‐induced Obesity

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 3, March 2026.
Fecal microbiome transplant from obese donor mice evokes microbiota changes that are not sufficient to change olfactory synaptic structure or glucose sensitivity in control‐fat (CF) fed recipient mice. FMT CF, fecal microbiome transplantation from control‐fat (CF) fed donors; FMT MHF, fecal microbiome transplantation from moderately high‐fat (MHF) fed ...

Solution Structure of a Chemosensory Protein from the Desert Locust Schistocerca gregaria^,

Biochemistry, 2006
Chemical stimuli, generally constituted by small volatile organic molecules, are extremely important for the survival of different insect species. In the course of evolution, insects have developed very sophisticated biochemical systems for the binding and the delivery of specific semiochemicals to their cognate membrane-bound receptors.

Genomic content of chemosensory genes correlates with host range in wood-boring beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae, Agrilus planipennis, and Anoplophora glabripennis)

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Olfaction and gustation underlie behaviors that are crucial for insect fitness, such as host and mate selection. The detection of semiochemicals is mediated via proteins from large and rapidly evolving chemosensory gene families; however, the ...

Antennal Transcriptome Analysis of the Chemosensory Gene Families From Trichoptera and Basal Lepidoptera

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The chemosensory gene families of insects encode proteins that are crucial for host location, mate finding, oviposition, and avoidance behaviors. The insect peripheral chemosensory system comprises odorant receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs ...
