Recent research has shown that KATP channels in mouse taste bud cells enhance glucose taste signaling by depolarizing the cell when ATP is present. Relatedly, estradiol has been shown to enhance glucose sensing in human pancreatic β cells ...
Olfactory training enhances semantic verbal fluency in healthy older adults, but only for individuals with low baseline performance [0.03%]
嗅觉训练可以改善健康老年人的语义语言流畅度，但仅限于基线表现较差的个体

Olfactory training (OT), a structured exposure to odors, is commonly used by otorhinolaryngologists to treat olfactory dysfunction. However, OT has been shown to improve cognition of people with cognitive or olfactory impairments and slow t...
Effects of the genetic polymorphisms of TAS2R43 and TAS2R46 on receptors' function and on perceived bitterness of caffeine by human subjects [0.03%]
TAS2R43和TAS2R46基因多态性对受体功能及人类对咖啡因苦味感知的影响

We investigated the effects of coding SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) in bitter taste receptors TAS2R43 and TAS2R46 on their predicted structural stability, cellular functions, and human threshold for bitterness of caffeine. We found...

Odors convey useful navigational and episodic information, yet much of the chemical world remains inaccessible without active sampling through sniffing. Respiratory cycles control odor dynamics within the nose, so understanding olfactory bu...

Successful social interactions require the identification of conspecifics and their traits. Often, individuals do not directly interact with conspecifics, but rather with their secretions. Among bodily secretions, urine plays a primary role...

The sense of smell is generated by electrical currents that are influenced by the concentration of ions in olfactory sensory neurons and mucus. In contrast to the extensive morphological and molecular characterization of sensory neurons, th...

We present a new method for fully self-administered olfactory testing. Technical development and testing and two user studies were conducted to test the functionality of a prototype device called Automated Olfactory Threshold Test (AutomOT)...

The discovery of Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) at the early nineteen eighties raised a lot of interest being the first biochemical components of the olfactory system to be experimentally studied. About ten years later, the identification ...

For a long time, the sense of smell was considered the neglected stepbrother of human sensory abilities, and the loss of smell has received little attention. This perception changed dramatically with the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to mill...
