    Abstract : Flavors of taste are detected by a set of microscopical cellular aggregates called the taste buds, present in different arrangements on the upper surface of the tongue and other areas in the mouth. Taste buds are chemosensors that can detect different taste qualities such as sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background: Despite advances in the management of facial paralysis and its associated sequelae, therapies targeting the lower facial region remain underdeveloped. This thesis aimed to improve both the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for facial paralysis, with a focus on the lower face. READ MORE

  5. 3. Olfactory genomics of bark- and ambrosia beetles : Evolution and function of chemoreceptors

    Author : Twinkle Biswas; Feromongruppen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Curculionidae; functional characterisation; odorant receptors ORs ; gustatory receptors; ionotropic receptors; orthologues; paralogues; olfactory sensory neurons; OR-ligand interaction;

    Abstract : Insect behaviours, such as host and mate selection, are often mediated by chemical cues. The chemical cuesare detected by large and rapidly evolving families of chemoreceptors which include odorant receptors (ORs),gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). READ MORE

  6. 4. On functions of neurotrophic factors in taste buds and teeth

    Author : Irina Vukmanovic Nosrat; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Chemosensory disorders affect approximately 15% of the U.S. population and an estimated 200,000 individuals visit a doctor each year for problems with their ability to taste or smell (NIDCD). READ MORE

  7. 5. Ultrastructural and systematic studies of cecidomyiidae (Diptera)

    Author : Ruben Tastás-Duque; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gallmyggor; tvåvingar; cecidomyiidae; diptera;

    Abstract : Examination of the abdomen of the adult female and the head capsule of the mature larva indicates the grat utility of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in examining structures when searching for useful characters to deal with the taxonomy and phylogeny of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Some of the structures found represent adaptations of limited value for phylogenetic considerations at higher levels. READ MORE
