Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

The distal end of porcine chromosome 6p is involved in the regulation of skatole levels in boars
BMC Genetics, 2011 Background Boar taint is an unpleasant condition of pork, mainly due to the accumulation of androstenone and skatole in male pigs at onset of puberty.

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy
Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2026.The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...

New particle formation from agricultural recycling of organic waste products
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2021 Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are one of the main sources of uncertainty in the current understanding of the Earth’s climate. Agriculture contributes to primary aerosol emissions, but there is no estimate of SOA formation from gaseous precursors ...

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.Indoles bearing acyl fluoride moieties are generally obtained by dehydroxyfluorination of carboxylic acids or by fluoroformylation mediated by palladium catalysts with the disadvantage of requiring toxic reagents or very high pressures. We describe herein the direct, metal‐free, and rapid C3‐fluoroformylation of electro‐enriched indoles using ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Organic matter in carbonate rocks plays a crucial role in processes such as fluid flow regulation, carbon sequestration, contaminant transport, and hydrocarbon recovery. This study employed multimodal spectroscopic techniques, including fluorescence imaging and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, to characterize the spatial ...
