The DeGennaro Lab seeks to determine the odors and olfactory receptors that contribute to host detection in mosquitoes, analyze nectar-seeking behavior and examine vector ecology. [3] DeGennaro also intends to establish a model for coral symbiosis and chemosensation using the upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea xamachana , in order to study new ...
Aromachology is a relatively new science that explores positive feelings induced by odors far from any holistic or healing process. The term covers both natural and synthetic scents. The term aromachology is sometimes mistaken by companies with several other terms such as "essential oils" or "aromatherapy" as marketing phrases.

The odor detection threshold is the lowest concentration of a certain odor compound that is perceivable by the human sense of smell. The threshold of a chemical compound is determined in part by its shape, polarity, partial charges, and molecular mass. The olfactory mechanisms responsible for a compound's different detection threshold is not ...
A New Jersey family is suing DraftKings after a father of two gambled away more than $1 million of his family’s money across four years. The man, known by his username Mdallo1990, allegedly lost ...
The vibration theory of smell proposes that a molecule's smell character is due to its vibrational frequency in the infrared range. This controversial theory is an alternative to the more widely accepted docking theory of olfaction (formerly termed the shape theory of olfaction), which proposes that a molecule's smell character is due to a range of weak non-covalent interactions between its ...
