Testing odorant-receptor interaction theories in humans through discrimination of isotopomers

Journal of Biological Research, 2017
Odour reception takes place on the olfactory receptor neuron membrane, where molecular receptors interact with volatile odorant molecules. This interaction is classically thought to rely on chemical and structural features of the odorant, e.g.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Beyond Modeling: All-Atom Olfactory Receptor Model Simulations

Frontiers in Genetics, 2012
Olfactory receptors (ORs) are a type of GTP-binding protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). These receptors are responsible for mediating the sense of smell through their interaction with odor ligands. OR-odorant interactions marks the first step in the process

Identification and expression pattern analysis of chemosensory receptor genes in the Macrocentrus cingulum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) antennae

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
Macrocentrus cingulum is an important polyembryonic endoparasitic wasp that attacks larvae of the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) and the European corn borer, O. nubilalis (Hübner).

Functional Expression of Mammalian Odorant Receptors [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 2005
The olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium of the nose detect and discriminate a large number of volatile environmental chemicals. This ability is essential for animals to find prey, food, mates, predators and toxic compounds. In OSNs, odorant receptor (OR) proteins, members of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily ...

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Flavor Characteristics of Vacuum Freeze‐Dried Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
A post‐freeze‐drying heat treatment at 150°C optimizes shrimp flavor by boosting umami compounds and generating roasted aromas via the Maillard reaction. This strategy successfully bridges the texture‐flavor trade‐off, enabling premium ready‐to‐eat shrimp products.

Evaluation of preclinical antipsychotic models used to support first‐in‐human clinical trials

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1364-1389, April 2026.
Abstract Schizophrenia is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, characterised by diverse symptoms and comorbidities, which complicate both clinical management and drug development. Current pharmacological treatment, primarily based on dopamine D2 receptor antagonism or partial agonism, which has not markedly progressed since the

The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 126-138, April 2026.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Identification of a receptor for the sex pheromone of the vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus

Current Research in Insect Science
The vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus, is a significant pest of vineyards in all major grape growing regions of the world. This pest causes significant aesthetic damage to berry clusters through its feeding behavior and secretion of ''honeydew'', which ...
