Olfactory receptors are able to detect air-borne odour molecules that enter the nasal cavity and bind to olfactory receptors. The activation of olfactory receptors results in olfactory receptor ...

Odorants, mostly organic molecules that are released into the womb or in our atmospheric environment after birth, are detected by specialized olfactory receptor cells in the nasal cavity.

Olfaction in mammals is mediated by a population of olfactory sensory neurons, each of which expresses just one of ~1000 olfactory receptor proteins that are encoded in the genome. Olfactory activity ...

Up inside our nostrils, there are around 400 different types of olfactory receptors (the things which detect the chemical compounds that make up different smells), analysing each whiff which wafts ...

The team designed four model receptors based on the shapes of the 400 odorant receptors (ORs), then took snapshots at atomic-level resolution as the receptors encountered scent molecules. “Every time ...

Understanding how the olfactory system detects and distinguishes odorants with diverse physicochemical properties remains a challenge due to the difficulty in visualizing these natural receptor ...

These odor molecules contact a tissue called the olfactory epithelium (Fig. 1), which contains olfactory receptor cells that lock onto these odor molecules. This generates electrical signals that are ...

Olfactive Biosolutions’ Protenx™ GLP-1 Weight Loss activates olfactory receptors in the gut to induce the secretion of natural GLP-1 to facilitate weight loss and a significant reduction in ...
