As we inhale through the nose or mouth, this little patch captures airborne aromas and flavors as they pass by and transmits the information to the olfactory bulb, which can distinguish the presence ...

When researchers chemically ablated the olfactory epithelium in surrogate females, these mice lost their ability to retrieve pups effectively. Before the procedure, the surrogates had shown a ...

By delivering an appetite-regulating hormone directly to the olfactory epithelium, the hormone was able to reach its target. Only the secreted hormone molecules crossed into the brain. Engineered ...

Smell is due to molecules of a particular substance that travel into your nose. These odor molecules contact a tissue called the olfactory epithelium (Fig. 1), which contains olfactory receptor cells ...

in the olfactory epithelium. This binding enables the localised and sustained release of medication, which minimises systemic absorption and enhances bioavailability in the brain. The engineered ...

Activated HBCs differentiate into neurons (red markers) and non-neuronal supporting cells (gold markers) of the olfactory epithelium. Undifferentiated reserve stem cells stain green.
