DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-40640-4

Abstract: Olfaction is a key component of the multimodal approach used by mosquitoes to target and feed on humans, spreading various diseases. Current repellents have drawbacks, necessitating development of more effective agents. In addition to variable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-025-08572-0

Abstract: Insects have a powerful olfactory system that is far more selective and sensitive than artificial detectors. Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are key components of the system, which are ligand-gated ion channels comprising a specific odorant-sensing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/bios10030026

Abstract: The olfactory receptor neurons of insects and vertebrates are gated by odorant receptor (OR) proteins of which several members have been shown to exhibit remarkable sensitivity and selectivity towards volatile organic compounds of significant importance… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/chemosensors13080273

Abstract: The extensive diversity of volatile organic compounds, along with their minor structural variations, presents significant challenges in the development of chemosensory-based biosensors. Previously, we generated sensor cells expressing insect odorant receptors (ORs) in Sf21 cells,… read more here.
