Odorant Receptors and Cancer

Receptors
Odorant receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), with nearly 400 receptors identified in humans. The “omics” era has revealed an unexpected expression of ORs beyond olfactory tissues.

Sufficient Gas and Solvated Ion Transport Assisted Rapid NH3 Detection at Room Temperature Through Bionic Olfactory Fibres

Exploration, EarlyView.
Bionic olfactory fibres with nanoconfined ionic liquids were developed to mimic human olfactory cilia. Benefiting from sufficient gas transport pathways provided by inter‐fibre interconnected pores and rapid transport of solvated ions in the confined nano spacing, bionic olfactory fibres show excellent sensing performance to NH3 and demonstrate the ...

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Many food companies have begun to reduce the salt content in their products due to health concerns; however, this reduction in salt content can affect the food's sensory appeal and flavour complexity. Flavour is defined as a combination of odour (i.e., smell), taste (i.e., gustation) and trigeminal sensations (i.e., chemesthesis).

Unique Features of Nasal Airway and Airflow Improvement Post‐Dupilumab: A Computational Cohort Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The impact of dupilumab on nasal airway patency and airflow is not uniform. It is more pronounced in the middle and superior, but not inferior meatus. These unique regional changes significantly correlate with and potentially drive the improvement in patient symptoms.

Exocrine Gland Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapeutic Perspectives—A Narrative Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐motor symptoms, especially autonomic dysfunction, are major contributors to disability and decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite being common and having a wide range of clinical facets, exocrine gland dysfunction is still not well recognized and managed.

Commercial permethrin elicits chemoreceptive responses on different Anopheles gambiae sensory appendages

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.

Multimodal targets of (‐)‐α‐thujone mediating avoidance behavior of a stored‐products pest, Tribolium castaneum, in response to irritant stimuli

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We identified four kinds of target molecules against (‐)‐α‐thujone associating avoidance behavior in Tribolium castaneum, indicating multimodality. Abstract BACKGROUND The reciprocal evolutionary processes among phytophagous insects and host plants involve host shift in the herbivorous insects in response to defense chemicals, such as plant‐derived ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Molecular recognition of an odorant by the murine trace amine-associated receptor TAAR7f

Nature Communications
There are two main families of G protein-coupled receptors that detect odours in humans, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs).
