Abstract: Noses are extremely sophisticated chemical detectors allowing animals to use scents to interpret and navigate their environments. Odor detection starts with the activation of odorant receptors (ORs), expressed in mature olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) populating… read more here.

Abstract: Comparative transcriptomics of olfactory mucosae offers clues into the putative functions of highly abundant ORs in mammals. The mammalian olfactory system displays species-specific adaptations to different ecological niches. To investigate the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory… read more here.
