Originally thought to be present only in the nose, olfactory receptors exist in many locations in the body, including in the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, muscles, and sperm. They are involved in a ...

This visual abstract depicts the discovery that chemosensory receptors in a subset of mammalian olfactory sensing neurons are structurally distinct from GPCRs, and multiple subtypes are expressed ...

are unique because of their ability to generate electrical signals. Although several types of excitable cells exist — including neurons, muscle cells, and touch receptor cells — all of them ...

What if you could detect allergens even better, so that before you even put something in your mouth, you knew whether it was dangerous? And what if frogs could help you do it?

Discovering antigen-reactive T cell receptors (TCRs ... stimulation by an antigen peptide of interest and determined their unique TCR sequences using single-cell sequencing.
