A research team led by scientists at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute used techniques including single cell genomics, to describe a previously undetected RNA-mediated mechanism in mice that could ...

The ScentVista 400 technology was created by the Japanese beauty conglomerate’s Sensory Science Research Laboratory division ...

Olfactory receptors are integral to sensory perception, forming a sophisticated system that enables organisms to detect and differentiate an immense variety of volatile chemical compounds. As members ...

The pleasure of eating begins in the mouth, albeit extends far beyond it. The sensation that we know as taste involves an intricate system of nerves that relay information from the tongue’s taste buds ...

Our sense of smell seems to be the most complicated, and as such it’s the least understood. To help shed some light on the system, researchers at Rockefeller University have taken the first ...

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 ...

The first-ever molecular images of an olfactory receptor at work answer decades-old questions about odor recognition. All senses must reckon with the richness of the world, but nothing matches the ...

The human olfactory system discriminates between thousands of odours by interacting specifically with olfactory receptors on sensory neurons. Each receptor can detect several odorants at different ...

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 ...
