The olfactory system is involved in the detection and processing of odour signals. In humans, the sense of olfaction has a significant influence on ...
The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study. Researchers focused on a group of interacting genes called the Hippo pathway, which serve as ...
Why do we prefer sugar to artificial sweeteners? A first-in-human demonstration, described recently in PLOS One, has revealed a previously unknown sensing system in the mouth that detects the calories ...
In a recent study published in Nature, researchers assessed the role of the airway-to-brain sensory pathways in influenza-induced illness. Infection with pathogens results in a syndrome characterized ...
Scientists show that the receptor PIEZO2 in sensory neurons controls gut motility and transit time, which are important for digestion and nutrient absorption. Gastrointestinal and digestive issues ...
A group of neuronal cells in the airways have been shown to detect chemicals, called prostaglandins, that are produced by immune cells during infection with a respiratory virus. Once stimulated, the ...
University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine, along with other collaborators, report that lung adenocarcinoma can engage nerve pathways that link the ...
A research team led by Félix Viana, co-director of the Sensory Transduction and Nociception laboratory at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint research centre of the Spanish National Research ...
Modern life's relentless pace leaves women's bodies in a constant state of "fight or flight." Sensory Reset Therapy offers a ...
The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...
