2. How does odorant receptor activity control axon guidance and refinement? The axons of all olfactory sensory neurons that express a particular odorant receptor subtype project to one of two ...

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 ...

A research team from the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich has identified the human odorant receptor responsible for the perception of this special ...

In the study, "Engineered odorant receptors illuminate the basis of odor discrimination," published in Nature, researchers ...
