DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2017.12.005
Abstract: Several studies demonstrate that inflammation affects body odor. Volatile signals associated with inflammation induced by pyrogens like LPS are detectable both by conspecifics and chemical analyses. However, little is known about the mechanisms which translate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.117733
Abstract: Female chemical signals underlie the advertising of sexual receptivity and fertility. Whether the body odor of a pregnant woman also has a signaling function with respect to male behavior is yet to be conclusively established.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/chemse/bjac012
Abstract: Emotions can be communicated in social contexts through chemosignals contained in human body odors. The transmission of positive emotions via these signals has received little interest in past research focused mainly on negative emotional transmission.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/chemse/bjz053
Abstract: Previous research has shown that men's mating motivation may increase following exposure to women's body odor during ovulation. In the current study we examined whether exposure to women's fertility odor cues influences social perception among… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00458
Abstract: Detecting pathogen threats and avoiding disease is fundamental to human survival. The behavioral immune system (BIS) framework outlines a set of psychological functions that may have evolved for this purpose. Disgust is a core emotion… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01004
Abstract: Animals detect sick conspecifics by way of body odor that enables the receiver to avoid potential infectious transmission. Human observational studies also indicate that different types of disease are associated with more or less aversive… read more here.
