The biocatalytic production of flavor naturals that determine chemosensory percepts of foods
and beverages is an ever challenging target for academic and industrial research. Advances …

Research studies that focus on understanding the onset of neurodegenerative pathology
and therapeutic interventions to inhibit its causative factors, have shown a crucial role of …

Humans have∼ 400 intact odorant receptors, but each individual has a unique set of
genetic variations that lead to variation in olfactory perception. We used a heterologous …

Humans use a family of more than 400 olfactory receptors (ORs) to detect odors, but there is
currently no model that can predict olfactory perception from receptor activity patterns …

We report full-length draft de novo genome assemblies for 16 widely used inbred mouse
strains and find extensive strain-specific haplotype variation. We identify and characterize …

Background Understanding the relationship between a stimulus and how it is perceived
reveals fundamental principles about the mechanisms of sensory perception. While this …

Gas measurement systems used with a particular methodology are sometimes referred to as
“Electronic noses”. Traditionally, these systems were based on unspecific gas sensors as …

Humans vary in acuity to many odors [1–4], with variation within olfactory receptor (OR)
genes contributing to these differences [5–9]. How such variation also affects odor …

Our cellular immune system has to cope constantly with foodborne substances that enter the
bloodstream postprandially. Here, they may activate leukocytes via specific but yet mostly …

Olfactory perception is mediated by a large array of olfactory receptor genes. The human
genome contains 851 olfactory receptor gene loci. More than 50% of the loci are annotated …
