Minimally invasive olfactory brush biopsy flags biological signals of Alzheimer’s disease years before memory loss occurs.

Demand for odor detection is growing in diverse fields such as food security, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, but current technologies face limitations. Living cells with olfactory ...

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 ...

A team linked to Duke University and the UNC Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center has found that a simple brush swab of the ...

Ultrafine particles, UFPs, the smallest contributors to air pollution, hinder the function of mitochondria in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. Led by the University of Eastern Finland, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team led by scientists at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute used techniques including single cell genomics, to describe a previously undetected RNA-mediated mechanism in mice that could ...
