Second-generation non-hematopoietic erythropoietin-derived peptide for neuroprotection
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a well-known erythropoietic cytokine having a tissue-protective effect in various tissues against hypoxic stress, including the brain. Thus, its recombinants may function as neuroprotective compounds. However, despite considerable

Relationship between the Korean Version of the Sniffin' Stick Test and the T&T Olfactometer in the Korean Population [PDF]
ObjectivesThe Korean version of the Sniffin' stick (KVSS) test is widely used in Korea to evaluate olfactory function. However, its validity and reliability have not been studied well.

Inelastic electron transfer in olfaction: multiphonons processes [PDF]
Inelastic electron transfer being regarded as one of the potential mechanisms to explain the odorant recognition in the atomic-scale processes is still a matter of intense debate. Here, we propose multiphonon processes of electrons transfer using the Markvart model and calculate their lifetimes with values of key parameters widely adopted in olfactory ...

Olfactory Stimulation Modulates Visual Perception Without Training
Considerable research shows that olfactory stimulations affect other modalities in high-level cognitive functions such as emotion. However, little known fact is that olfaction modulates low-level perception of other sensory modalities.

Compressive Sensing-Based Recovery of Molecular Mixtures with Cross-Reactive Receptor Arrays [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a novel concept for engineered molecular communication (MC) systems inspired by animal olfaction. We focus on a multi-user scenario where transmitters employ unique mixtures of different types of signaling molecules to convey their messages to a central receiver, which is equipped with an array comprising $R$ different types ...

Mandrills use olfaction to socially avoid parasitized conspecifics
Mandrills use olfactory cues from feces of conspecifics to evaluate parasite status and avoid social contact with infectious animals. The evolutionary transition from a solitary to a social lifestyle entails an elevated parasite cost because the social ...

Individual importance of olfaction decreases with duration of smell loss.
BACKGROUND The personal importance of a lost neurologic - motor or sensory - function in several conditions has been shown to decrease as the afflicted patient becomes accustomed to not having that function.

Background Decline in olfaction may occur after general anesthesia, but the exact incidence and underlying physiopathology remain scarcely investigated. Olfactory dysfunction arises with aging and is known to be linked to cognitive impairment.

Ticks are obligatory hematophagous ectoparasites and vectors of many animal and human pathogens. Chemosensation plays a significant role in tick communication with their environment, including seeking out blood meal hosts.
