Artificial olfaction based on gas sensor arrays aims to substitute for, support, and surpass
human olfaction. Like mammalian olfaction, a larger number of sensors and more signal …

Olfactory systems must detect and discriminate amongst an enormous variety of odorants.
To contend with this challenge, diverse species have converged on a common strategy in …

Corrole chemistry has witnessed an impressive boost in studies in the last 20 years, thanks
to the possibility of preparing corrole derivatives by simple synthetic procedures. The …

Our sense of smell enables us to navigate a vast space of chemically diverse odour
molecules. This task is accomplished by the combinatorial activation of approximately 400 …

A globally invasive form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti specializes in biting humans, making

The past decade has witnessed a consolidation and refinement of the extraordinary
progress made in taste research. This Review describes recent advances in our …

The olfactory system must recognize and discriminate amongst an enormous variety of
chemicals in the environment. To contend with such diversity, insects have evolved a family …

Decreased olfactory function is very common in the older population, being present in over
half of those between the ages of 65 and 80 years and in over three quarters of those over …

Olfactory and taste receptors are expressed primarily in the nasal olfactory epithelium and
gustatory taste bud cells, where they transmit real-time sensory signals to the brain …
