St John explained to IFLScience that this was partly because previous work either used cells collected from the olfactory bulb, which carries a substantial risk, or were nasal cells with purity as ...

Over three weeks, this treatment augmented the incorporation of new neurons into the olfactory bulb. Some newly generated nerve cells were also found in the striatum, and these expressed markers ...

Throughout the postnatal life of rodents, neural progenitor cells migrate from the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the forebrain through the rostral migratory system (RMS) to the olfactory bulb.

"It's allowing us to observe three key functions of the neural stem cells," Ruetz said. "First, we can tell they are ...

This important study partially fills the gap in the knowledge of olfaction at the level of the Anterior Olfactory Nucleus (AON) and Piriform Cortex with functional magnetic resonance imaging, ...

Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, using special sensors known as Toll-like receptors, ...

Gentle nasal spray vaccines against COVID, the flu and RSV are coming. They may work better than shots in the arm ...

These odor molecules contact a tissue called the olfactory epithelium (Fig. 1), which contains olfactory receptor cells that lock onto these odor molecules. This generates electrical signals that are ...

Realizing a Phase I human clinical trial commencing to test the efficacy and safety of the transplantation of olfactory cell nerve bridges to treat chronic spinal cord injury. Since the passing of ...

The research team determined that if reinfection occurs, SITH1 proteins are produced in the olfactory bulb. By their production, excessive calcium flows into brain cells and kill them, which was ...

Label-free biosensor assay detects Toll-like receptor signals and even discriminates between different signaling pathways.
