Exposure to ultrafine particles from traffic alters the expression of many genes in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. The study is the first to combine an analysis of emissions from ...

Using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing, researchers mapped out gene expression patterns in the neurons of ...

The way that the sense of smell works is that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are wired up to olfactory receptors (ORs) in ...

While smell plays a considerable role in the social interactions of humans -- for instance, signaling fear or generating closeness -- for ants, it is vitally important. Researchers have found that a ...

While smell plays a considerable role in the social interactions of humans - for instance, signaling fear or generating closeness - for ants, it is vitally important. Researchers from New York ...

Using computational and theoretical models shows how adult-neurogenesis and spike-timing-dependent plasticity balance the flexibility and stability of odor representations.

The signaling mechanisms underlying the transition from stem cells to olfactory neurons has been described. Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including ...

Researchers released the first detailed map of smell receptors in the nose, organized into horizontal stripes that mirror the ...
