Olfactory Bulb Volume and Function Recovery in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study investigated perioperative changes in olfactory bulb volume (OBV) in patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis using high‐resolution 3T MRI. Postoperative increases in OBV were associated with improvements in olfactory identification, suggesting a potential link between olfactory bulb structural plasticity and functional recovery ...

Odor Identification Quantitatively by Odorant Receptor Vectors

, 2022
Abstract Background: Odors are perceived by individuals through sensation, memory, experience, etc., and mainly subjective and qualitative evaluation has been performed until now. On the other hand, since Buck et al. succeeded in cloning the odorant receptor in 1991, researchers have shown interest in olfaction system, and molecular biology ...

High‐throughput transcriptome mining and in silico screening reveal saccharide feeding stimulants for Cydia pomonella larvae

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We identified and characterized the gustatory and ionotropic receptors of Cydia pomonella using transcriptomics and in silico approaches, linking candidate sugar receptors to larval feeding attraction. Functional assays and behavioral tests highlighted isoquercitrin as a key feeding stimulant, providing a foundation for olfactory‐ and taste‐based pest ...

The genomic architecture and molecular evolution of ant odorant receptors

Genome Research, 2018
The massive expansions of odorant receptor (OR) genes in ant genomes are notable examples of rapid genome evolution and adaptive gene duplication. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to gene family expansion remain poorly understood, partly because

Engineered odorant receptors illuminate structural principles of odor discrimination

, 2023
AbstractA central challenge in olfaction is understanding how the olfactory system detects and distinguishes odorants with diverse physicochemical properties and molecular configurations. Vertebrate animals perceive odors via G protein-coupled odorant receptors (ORs). In humans, ∼400 ORs enable the sense of smell. The OR family is composed of two major

G Protein–Coupled Receptors in Olfactory Signaling and Related Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
This schematic highlights GPCRs as the central hub of olfactory signaling in health and disease. The central GPCR shows odorant activation and downstream pathways. Surrounding quadrants illustrate four GPCR‐mediated themes: odor perception and adaptation, mucosal immunity and regeneration, memory consolidation via neural circuits, and GPCR‐related ...

Vapor detection and discrimination with a panel of odorant receptors

Nature Communications, 2017
Olfactory systems have evolved the extraordinary capability to detect and discriminate volatile odorous molecules (odorants) in the environment. Fundamentally, this process relies on the interaction of odorants and their cognate olfactory receptors (ORs)
