Study reveals how olfactory neurons adapt to the surrounding environment.
Infection with the SARS_CoV-2 virus causes dials down the action of olfactory receptors, resulting in smell loss associated with COVID-19.
Inhibition of the OR5B21 olfactory receptor gene significantly decreased the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the brain, lungs, and bones, researchers report.
Following injury or damage, insulin plays a key role in the maturation and regeneration of immature olfactory sensory neurons.
Genetically preventing apoptosis during brain growth allows 'zombie' cells to develop into functioning neurons.
Experience and genetics give us all our unique sense of smell, a new study reports.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that underlies a phenomenon in how we smell that has puzzled scientists for decades.
Researchers have identified a set of genetic control switches that interact early in a fly's development to generate dozens of types of olfactory neurons.
Researchers identify safe, pleasant smelling compounds which keep mosquitoes at bay and help control the spread of diseases.
