Distinct expression profiles and different functions of odorant binding proteins in Nilaparvata lugens Stål.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundOdorant binding proteins (OBPs) play important roles in insect olfaction. The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stål (Delphacidae, Auchenorrhyncha, Hemiptera) is one of the most important rice pests.

Comorbid Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Asthma: Shared Risk Factors and Treatment Implications—An EAACI Task Force Report

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma are prevalent conditions that often coexist. These diseases share common inflammatory mechanisms, such as T‐helper cell 2 (T2)‐high inflammation, driven by interleukin (IL)‐4, IL‐5, and IL‐13 cytokines.

Can We Talk About Fetal Consciousness?

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This mini‐review examines research on fetal consciousness, focusing on whether it can be empirically assessed or remains primarily a philosophical construct. Methods A review of theoretical frameworks was conducted. Behavioural evidence from studies of prenatal sensory responsiveness is evaluated, with particular attention to whether ...

The Outcome of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in terms of Olfaction in Patients of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Polyps

open access: yesJournal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of functional endoscopies sinus surgery in improving olfaction in patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, as measured by changes in Sniffin’s Stick scores and olfaction scores pre and post

Evidence of emerging transcriptome mediators of Alzheimer's disease in canine cognitive dysfunction

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) may be a promising model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To assess AD‐related molecular signatures in CCD, we generated transcriptome data on dog cortex and plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs). CCD‐related transcriptome changes were similar to those in aging/AD humans and were detectable in EVs from the same animals ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Investigating the Effect of Tumour Necrosis Factor Antagonist on Olfaction

open access: yesClinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Tumour Necrosis factor antagonists is a potent anti‐inflammatory medication and has shown to improve olfactory function in murine models. The primary aim was to determine the effect of TNF antagonists on olfactory performance in humans.

A New Experimental Setup to Study the Olfactory Behaviour of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We developed an experimental setup to assess odor‐induced egg‐laying behavior in tiny egg‐parasitoid wasps. This Y‐shaped olfactometer, coupled with an AI‐based image‐recognition model, automatically quantifies egg parasitism by Trichogramma wasps. Olfactory‐driven egg‐laying preferences were analyzed using Bayesian inference.
