Each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) of olfactory system expresses a single allele of an olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a large genomic repertoire. How an OSN selects and activates a single OR allele is not well understood ...

The peripheral olfactory epithelium (OE) is an exception to the limited capacity of the adult nervous system to undergo neurogenesis, which supports structural repair in response to traumatic injury. It continuously and ...

Neurogenesis in the adult nervous system is a limited process in higher vertebrates. The olfactory epithelium (OE) is an exception to this limitation and maintains the ability to regenerate lost neurons throughout the ...

The zebrafish olfactory epithelium (OE) has an exceptional neurogenic capacity, which supports the continuous turnover olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and efficient regeneration after injury. These processes depend on the ...
