The Olfactory Nervous System Of Terrestrial And Aquatic Vertebrates [PDF]

, 2011
Animals in their natural milieu are surrounded by odors. These odors are rich source of information, and are perceived by sophisticated olfactory systems, that have evolved over time.

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 ...

Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 978-991, May 2026.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

Olfactory decline tracks central‐to‐peripheral spread of tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Olfactory decline often precedes cognitive symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to tau pathology. Yet, whether tau aggregates start in peripheral olfactory structures or spread from central regions remains debated. METHODS We analyzed 34 post mortem human olfactory bulb (OB) and 2 neuroepithelium (ONE) samples across

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.

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 ...

Insect Olfactory Receptor‐Expressing Sensor Cells for Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis Using Urine Samples

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
We developed a novel, noninvasive diagnostic method for colorectal cancer using sensor cells expressing insect ORs that detect volatile organic compounds in urine samples. By analyzing the luminescence responses of sensor cells and applying machine learning, our model achieved 80% sensitivity and an ROC‐AUC of 0.84 in distinguishing colorectal cancer ...

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.
