Odor Landscapes in Turbulent Environments [PDF]
Phys. Rev. X 4, 041015 (2014), 2014 The olfactory system of male moths is exquisitely sensitive to pheromones emitted by females and transported in the environment by atmospheric turbulence. Moths respond to minute amounts of pheromones and their behavior is sensitive to the fine-scale structure of turbulent plumes where pheromone concentration is detectible.

New insights on repellent recognition by Anopheles gambiae odorant-binding protein 1 [PDF]
, 2018 It is generally recognized that insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) mediate the solubilisation and transport of hydrophobic odorant molecules and contribute to the sensitivity of the insect olfactory system.

Maternal obesity and resistance to breast cancer treatments among offspring: Link to gut dysbiosis
Cancer Reports, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background About 50 000 new cases of cancer in the United States are attributed to obesity. The adverse effects of obesity on breast cancer may be most profound when affecting the early development; that is, in the womb of a pregnant obese mother.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chronic social stress elevates oxytocin levels, leading to immunosuppression by enhancing regulatory T‐cell activity and promoting anti‐inflammatory macrophage polarization in the spleen. Blocking oxytocin signaling reverses these effects but worsens stress‐induced behavioral disorders and reduces survival rates. This highlights oxytocin's dual role in

Structure and evolution of neuronal wiring receptors and ligands
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 27-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the fundamental properties of a neuronal circuit is the map of its connections. The cellular and developmental processes that allow for the growth of axons and dendrites, selection of synaptic targets, and formation of functional synapses use neuronal surface receptors and their interactions with other surface receptors, secreted ...
