Recent concepts about sense of smell, odorant receptors and physiology of olfaction- an insight
The sense of olfaction reached its zenith in development much earlier than other special senses. Olfaction is much more acute than the other senses, exhibits both high sensitivity for odours and high discrimination between them. This plays a very important role even in the social and behavioral aspects of human beings. Recent studies using molecular genetics, electrophysiology and behavioral an...
متن کاملInduced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) based approaches for hematopoietic cancer therapy
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are reprogrammed from somatic cells through numerous transcription factors. Human induced pluripotent stem cell approaches are developing as a hopeful strategy to improve our knowledge of genetic association studies and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Rapid progression in stem cell therapy and cell reprogramming provides compelling reasons for its fe...
متن کاملReview of the Ethical and Technical Principles of Working with Zebrafish as a Species of the Biological Model in Medical Science Studies
The Zebrafish is a preeminent model organism that, with its most prominent features, has expanded the boundaries of science in many disciplines. Characteristics of this small freshwater fish, with the help of biologists, showed that it has a highly comparable genetic with mammals such as mice and rats. For example, the emergence of new and efficient methods for duplicating and editing the genom...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of a New Recombinant IpaC from Shigella dysenteriae Type I in Guinea Pig as a Vaccine Candidate
Background: Recombinant vaccine technology is one of the most developed means in controlling infectious diseases. However, an effective vaccine against Shigella is still missing. Objective: To evaluate recombinant IpaC protein of Shigella as a vaccine candidate. Methods: In this study we cloned IpaC gene into an expression vector in prokaryotic system. The protein expression was evaluated by SD...
متن کاملThe Physics and Biology of Olfaction and Taste
Traditionally, the chemical senses include olfaction and gustation: olfaction (smell) reports on gaseous substances carried by air over long distances, and gustation (taste) provides information about food material already in the mouth. However, in recent times behavioral, physiological, histological, and molecular studies have increased our understanding of vertebrate chemoreception, and four ...
