Organization and function of Drosophila odorant binding proteins

eLife, 2016
Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance, yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely believed to be required for transporting hydrophobic odorants through an aqueous lymph to ...

Use of a Bacteriophage Lysin to Control Axillary Malodor

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Axillary malodor is primarily caused by bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus hominis, which metabolize apocrine secretions into volatile compounds. Traditional deodorants contain antiseptics that can disrupt the skin microbiome and cause irritation. Alternative methods of odor control are being sought but so far without success. We

Improved Nasal Airflow Is Associated With Olfactory Recovery in a Large Population of Patients With COVID‐19‐Related Olfactory Dysfunction

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology
Objective Nasal airflow is essential for delivering odorants to the olfactory epithelium. With increasing evidence demonstrating a strong link between nasal airflow and olfaction, we conducted a large multicenter retrospective study to further examine if

The Audiologic and Otolaryngologic Phenotype in WHIM Syndrome

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective WHIM syndrome (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis syndrome) is an ultra‐rare primary immunodeficiency disease caused by autosomal dominant hyperfunctional mutations in the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Otolaryngologists are frequently consulted to evaluate WHIM patients because of recurrent acute ear and sinus ...

Exploring the Characteristics of an Aroma-Blending Mixture by Investigating the Network of Shared Odors and the Molecular Features of Their Related Odorants

Molecules, 2020
The perception of aroma mixtures is based on interactions beginning at the peripheral olfactory system, but the process remains poorly understood. The perception of a mixture of ethyl isobutyrate (Et-iB, strawberry-like odor) and ethyl maltol (Et-M ...

Behavioral and neurobiological implications of kairomones for rodents: an updated review

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Like many other vertebrates, rodents communicate via pheromones, which favors intraspecies communication. In contrast, kairomones are semiochemicals involved in interspecific communication, facilitating information between organisms of different species ...
