Cyclophosphamide induces the loss of taste bud innervation in mice
Chem Senses. 2024 Feb 29:bjae010. doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjae010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany common chemotherapeutics produce disruptions in the sense of taste which can lead to loss of appetite, nutritional imbalance, and reduced quality of life, especially if taste loss persists after treatment ends. Cyclophosphamide (CYP), an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent, affects taste sensitivity through its cytotoxic effects on mature taste receptor cells (TRCs) and on taste progenitor cell populations, retarding the capacity to replace TRCs. Mechanistic studies have focused primarily on taste cells, however, taste signaling...

What are Olfaction and Gustation, And Do All Animals Have Them?
Chem Senses. 2024 Feb 29:bjae009. doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjae009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDifferent animals have distinctive anatomical and physiological properties to their chemical senses that enhance detection and discrimination of relevant chemical cues. Humans and other vertebrates are recognized as having two main chemical senses, olfaction and gustation, distinguished from each other by their evolutionarily conserved neuroanatomical organization. This distinction between olfaction and gustation in vertebrates is not based on the medium in which they live because the most ancestral and numerous vertebrates, the fi...

Odor dilution sorting as a clinical test of olfactory function: normative values and reliability data
In conclusion, the olfactory sorting test represents a simple, self-administered approach to the detection of anosmia or preserved olfactory function. With balanced accuracy similar to existing brief olfactory tests, this method offers a practical and user-friendly alternative for screening anosmia, addressing the need for resource-efficient assessments in clinical settings.PMID:38401152 | DOI:10.1093/chemse/bjae008 (Source: Chemical Senses)

Methodologies for smellwalks and scentwalks- a critical review
Chem Senses. 2024 Feb 13:bjae005. doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjae005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlfactory elements of the human environment are essential with respect to culture, society and heritage, and robust methodological approaches are necessary to identify and describe aspects of this sensory component. To accurately investigate and advance knowledge of olfactory composition of spaces and places, that is, a smellscape - an olfactory contextualized landscape - innovative methodologies such as smellwalks can be employed as part of the research approach. Despite the increasing use of smellwalks, there is no current standa...
