In 1982, she joined the laboratory of Richard Axel, also at Columbia in the Institute of Cancer Research. After reading Sol Snyder's group research paper at Johns Hopkins University, Buck set out to map the olfactory process at the molecular level, tracing the travel of odors through the cells of the nose to the brain. Buck and Axel worked with ...
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 ...
Smell as evidence of disease has been long used, dating back to Hippocrates around 400 years BCE. [1] It is still employed with a focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in body odor. [ 2 ] VOCs are carbon-based molecular groups having a low molecular weight, secreted during cells' metabolic processes. [ 3 ]
He is the principal investigator in the Laboratory of Tropical Genetics at FIU and focuses primarily on mosquito research. [2] 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 ]
Since 1982, [2] research has been conducted to develop technologies, commonly referred to as electronic noses, that could detect and recognize odors and flavors. The stages of the recognition process are similar to human olfaction and are performed for identification, comparison, quantification and other applications, including data storage and ...
What was up with this unusual body smell of mine, I wondered. “When we are isolated and confined to certain places, the diversity of our microbiome is reduced, and certain microbes can over-grow ...
The researchers identified 18,305 people who had undergone endoscopy and biopsy investigations between 2000 and 2005. All had no history of Parkinson’s disease. 9,350 participants from the ...
Since 2014 Tolaas has been active in several start-ups in the field of the senses. In 2016 Tolaas launched the world's first Smell Memory Kit; several other devices and sense tools are under development. The Re_Search Lab continues to support interdisciplinary projects and research involving smell, odor, and fragrance.
