Human Pheromones: Integrating Neuroendocrinology and Ethology

Neuro endocrinology letters, 2001
The effect of sensory input on hormones is essential to any explanation of mammalian behavior, including aspects of physical attraction. The chemical signals we send have direct and developmental effects on hormone levels in other people.

Putative sex-specific human pheromones do not affect gender perception, attractiveness ratings or unfaithfulness judgements of opposite sex faces [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Debate continues over the existence of human sex pheromones. Two substances, androstadienone (AND) and estratetraenol (EST), were recently reported to signal male and female gender, respectively, potentially qualifying them as human sex pheromones.

Appeasing Pheromones for the Management of Stress and Aggression during Conservation of Wild Canids: Could the Solution Be Right under Our Nose?

Animals, 2021
Thirty-six species of canid exist globally, two are classified as critically endangered, three as endangered, and five as near threatened. Human expansion and the coinciding habitat fragmentation necessitate conservation interventions to mitigate ...

Improving the Activity of Antimicrobial Peptides Against Aquatic Pathogen Bacteria by Amino Acid Substitutions and Changing the Ratio of Hydrophobic Residues

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
With the increasing number of drug-resistant bacteria, there is an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which exist in the human non-specific immune system, are one of the most promising candidates.

White cells facilitate opposite- and same-sex mating of opaque cells in Candida albicans. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Modes of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms are extremely diverse. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes a phenotypic switch from the white to the opaque phase in order to become mating-competent.
