Wiring olfaction: the cellular and molecular mechanisms that guide the development of synaptic connections from the nose to the cortex

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2009
Within the central nervous system, the olfactory system fascinates by its developmental and physiological particularities, and is one of the most studied models to understand the mechanisms underlying the guidance of growing axons to their appropriate ...

Transcriptomes of Mouse Olfactory Epithelium Reveal Sexual Differences in Odorant Detection

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2012
To sense numerous odorants and chemicals, animals have evolved a large number of olfactory receptor genes (Olfrs) in their genome. In particular, the house mouse has ∼1,100 genes in the Olfr gene family.

Identification and characterization of FAM124B as a novel component of a CHD7 and CHD8 containing complex [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7 gene (CHD7) lead to CHARGE syndrome, an autosomal dominant multiple malformation disorder. Proteins involved in chromatin remodeling typically act in multiprotein complexes.

Exploring the Neuroprotective Role of Selenium: Implications and Perspectives for Central Nervous System Disorders

Exploration, EarlyView.
Selenium (Se) is a crucial element in selenoproteins, key biomolecules for physiological function in vivo. Central nervous system can express all 25 kinds of selenoproteins, which protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Neuroprotection is being investigated through the biological study of Se.

The nose and tongue as chemical detectors

, 2005
Human chemical senses are the gatekeepers of our digestive system. Chemical separation combined with human sensory perception has been used to isolate and identify a natural non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compound in olive oil.

Brain tumors induced in rats by human adenovirus type 12 [PDF]

, 1974
Oncogenesis of human adenovirus type 12 in the brain of rats was examined. Newborn rats of Sprague-Dawley and Donryu　strains were injected intracranially with human adenovirus type 12.　The incidence of intracranial tumors was 91% (30/33) in

Unraveling the Role of Ensheathing Cells and Perineural Fibroblasts in Olfactory Neurogenesis

Glia, EarlyView.
OECs are similar to satellite glial cells. OECs react to neuronal injury by promoting lipid metabolism, but do not proliferate. OECs reduce gap junctions upon neuronal injury. Perineural fibroblasts also contribute to the injury response. ABSTRACT During development and following injury‐induced neurogenesis, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) envelope ...

Odors: from chemical structures to gaseous plumes [PDF]

, 2020
We are immersed within an odorous sea of chemical currents that we parse into individual odors with complex structures. Odors have been posited as determined by the structural relation between the molecules that compose the chemical compounds and their ...

Late Toxicity and Long‐Term Quality of Life in Survivors of Cancer of the Major Salivary Glands More Than 5 Years After Diagnosis: A Multi‐National Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Because salivary gland cancers (SGC) are rare and include different tumor subtypes, data on their long‐term quality of life and late toxicities are sparse. Methods Multi‐national study including SGC survivors more than 5 years after diagnosis.
