Abstract: The olfaction transduction process commences when odorant molecules bind to specific olfactory receptors (ORs) located in the nasal cavity. Recognizing the interactions between odorant ...

What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum? Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts from all around the world or the hushed sounds of visitors discussing what they see?

Humans have about 400 odorant receptors (ORs), but scientists have had trouble finding ligands that match up with most of these ORs in lab settings—leaving them with a murky understanding of how ...

Efficient T-cell engineering is crucial for the success of CAR T-cell therapy research, but it requires multiple labor-intensive steps, including T-cell isolation, activation, and transduction.

When Thomas Hummel gets a whiff of an unripe, green tomato, he finds himself in his childhood home in Bavaria. Under the tilted ceilings of the bedroom that he shared with his two older brothers, ...

With each of the more than 23,000 breaths we take per day, air travels through the respiratory system into the lungs, where vital gas exchange occurs: oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide is ...

That’s gene editing. On paper, it is merely the rearrangement of letters. However, the road to editing genes in hopes of a therapeutic benefit is difficult to travel. Additionally, researchers want ...

It’s not just hotels and casinos that are spritzing their essence into the air these days. Here in L.A., businesses from Bird Streets to Balenciaga to HD Buttercup are suddenly all in on "olfactory ...

Joint research demonstrating the ability to readout superconducting qubits with an optical transducer was published in Nature Physics. Quantum computing has the potential to drive transformative ...

Our noses encounter a vast diversity of chemicals every day, but scientists know little of how odorants stir awake the receptors in our bodies. A recent study is the first to parse the structure of a ...
