Researchers have for the first time identified the function of olfactory receptors in the human heart muscle, such as are also present in the nose. One of the receptors reacts to fatty acids that ...
For the first time, researchers have determined how a human olfactory receptor captures an airborne scent molecule, the pivotal chemical event that triggers our sense of smell. Whether it evokes roses ...
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 ...
All senses must reckon with the richness of the world, but nothing matches the challenge faced by the olfactory system that underlies our sense of smell. We need only three receptors in our eyes to ...
The ScentVista 400 technology was created by the Japanese beauty conglomerate’s Sensory Science Research Laboratory division ...
When the Human Genome Project began in 1990, the number of protein-coding genes was estimated to be as high as 100,000. As the work progressed, however, this estimate steadily shrank, and the final ...
NIMS has been developing chemical sensors as a key component of artificial olfaction technology (olfactory sensors), with the ...
