Designer lipid-like peptides [PDF]

, 2011
A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein studies, particularly G-protein coupled receptors, is the notorious difficulty of finding an optimal detergent that can solubilize them and maintain their stability and function. Here we report rapid production of

Functional Reintegration of Sensory Neurons and Transitional Dendritic Reduction of Mitral/Tufted Cells during Injury-Induced Recovery of the Larval Xenopus Olfactory Circuit

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms involved in maintaining lifelong neurogenesis has a clear biological and clinical interest. In the present study, we performed olfactory nerve transection on larval Xenopus to induce severe damage to the olfactory circuitry ...

Revisiting olfactory receptors as putative drivers of cancer [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2017
BACKGROUND: Olfactory receptors (ORs) recognize odorant molecules and activate a signal transduction pathway that ultimately leads to the perception of smell.

An update on anatomy and function of the teleost olfactory system [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
About half of all extant vertebrates are teleost fishes. Although our knowledge about anatomy and function of their olfactory systems still lags behind that of mammals, recent advances in cellular and molecular biology have provided us with a wealth of ...

Topological reorganization of odor representations in the olfactory bulb. [PDF]

, 2007
Odors are initially represented in the olfactory bulb (OB) by patterns of sensory input across the array of glomeruli. Although activated glomeruli are often widely distributed, glomeruli responding to stimuli sharing molecular features tend to be ...

Olfaction and Pheromones: Uncanonical Sensory Influences and Bulbar Interactions

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2017
The rodent main and accessory olfactory systems (AOS) are considered functionally and anatomically segregated information-processing pathways. Each system is devoted to the detection of volatile odorants and pheromones, respectively.

High-throughput ligand profile characterization in novel cell lines expressing seven heterologous insect olfactory receptors for the detection of volatile plant biomarkers

Scientific Reports, 2023
Agriculturally important crop plants emit a multitude of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are excellent indicators of their health status and their interactions with pathogens and pests. In this study, we have developed a novel cellular olfactory

Functional olfactory evolution in Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora

iScience, 2022
Summary: Comparative analyses of multiple genomes are used extensively to examine the gains and losses of chemosensory receptors across the genus Drosophila. However, few studies have delved into functional olfactory characteristics.

Floral to green: mating switches moth olfactory coding and preference [PDF]

, 2012
Mating induces profound physiological changes in a wide range of insects, leading to behavioural adjustments to match the internal state of the animal.

Axonal Odorant Receptors Mediate Axon Targeting

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: In mammals, odorant receptors not only detect odors but also define the target in the olfactory bulb, where sensory neurons project to give rise to the sensory map.
