Mosquito odorant receptor for DEET and methyl jasmonate.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 111(46) , 16592-7, (2014)

Insect repellents are important prophylactic tools for travelers and populations living in endemic areas of malaria, dengue, encephalitis, and other vector-borne diseases. DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) is a 6-decade-old synthetic repellent, which is st...

Invincible DNA tethers: covalent DNA anchoring for enhanced temporal and force stability in magnetic tweezers experiments.

Nucleic Acids Res. 42(18) , e137, (2014)

Magnetic tweezers are a powerful single-molecule technique that allows real-time quantitative investigation of biomolecular processes under applied force. High pulling forces exceeding tens of picoNewtons may be required, e.g. to probe the force range of prot...

Histopathological and ultramicroscopical changes in gill, liver and kidney of Anabas testudineus (Bloch) after chronic intoxication of almix (metsulfuron methyl 10.1%+chlorimuron ethyl 10.1%) herbicide.

Ecotoxicol. Environ. Saf. 122 , 360-7, (2015)

Present study aimed to investigate the effects of almix herbicide on histopathological and ultrastructural changes in freshwater teleostean fish, Anabas testudineus (Bloch) under field and laboratory conditions with a dose of 8 g/acre and 66.7 mg/L respective...

Neuropeptide F neurons modulate sugar reward during associative olfactory learning of Drosophila larvae.

J. Comp. Neurol. 523 , 2637-64, (2015)

All organisms continuously have to adapt their behavior according to changes in the environment in order to survive. Experience-driven changes in behavior are usually mediated and maintained by modifications in signaling within defined brain circuits. Given t...

Mapping of Learned Odor-Induced Motivated Behaviors in the Mouse Olfactory Tubercle.

J. Neurosci. 35 , 10581-99, (2015)

An odor induces food-seeking behaviors when humans and animals learned to associate the odor with food, whereas the same odor elicits aversive behaviors following odor-danger association learning. It is poorly understood how central olfactory circuits transfo...

Differences between Solution and Membrane Forms of Chitosan on the In Vitro Activity of Fibroblasts.

Balkan. Med. J. 32(1) , 69-78, (2015)

Chitosan, a linear polysaccharide, has been recently used in biomedical applications. In vitro studies have demonstrated its effect on cellular growth and its stimulatory action on cellular layer formation.The present study aims to compare the proliferative e...

Using the olfactory system as an in vivo model to study traumatic brain injury and repair.

J. Neurotrauma 31(14) , 1277-91, (2014)

Loss of olfactory function is an early indicator of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The regenerative capacity and well-defined neural maps of the mammalian olfactory system enable investigations into the degeneration and recovery of neural circuits after injury...

Ligand-based virtual screening identifies a family of selective cannabinoid receptor 2 agonists.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 23(1) , 241-63, (2014)

The cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) has been linked with the regulation of inflammation, and selective receptor activation has been proposed as a target for the treatment of a range of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and arthritis. In order to ide...

Stepwise assembly of a cross-linked free-standing nanoparticle sheet with controllable shape.

Nanoscale 7 , 11033-9, (2015)

In this paper, we report a free-standing thin lamella consisting of nanoparticles with controllable shape. A self-assembly technique is utilized to obtain this sheet in a step by step fashion with nanoparticles and polymer single crystals as the basic buildin...

Olfactory CNG channel desensitization by Ca2+/CaM via the B1b subunit affects response termination but not sensitivity to recurring stimulation.

Neuron 58(3) , 374-86, (2008)

Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated negative feedback is a prototypical regulatory mechanism for Ca2+-permeable ion channels. In olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), such regulation on the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel is considered a major mechanism of OSN adaptat...
