Feedback regulation in multistage cell lineages by Wing-Cheong Lo, Ching-Shan Chou, Kimberly K. Gokoffski, Frederic Y.-M. Wan, Arthur D. Lander, Anne L. Calof, Qing Nie

“…Together, the existence of multiple cellstages within a lineage and complex feedback regulation are thought to conferupon a tissue the ability to autoregulate development and regeneration,in terms of both cell number (total tissue volume) and cell identity(the proportions of different cell types, especially TD cells, within the tissue).In this paper, we model neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium (OE) of the mouse,a system in which the lineage stages and mediators of feedback regulation that governthe generation of terminally differentiated olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) have beenthe subject of much experimental work. …”

Characterising the change rule of freshness and inorganic anions in reconstituted tobacco pulp with oscillation time by Huayu Li, Shaohui Yan, Hongtao Xu, Xiaoyu Li, Runan Wang, Ying Yan, Pengyu Li, Litao Zhang, Yanqing Wang, Mengmeng Zu, Yibo Wang

“…Taking the evaluation of olfactory aroma and sensory quality qualities of reconstituted tobacco pulps with different residence times as a benchmark, it was found that the variation patterns of nitrate ions and isovaleric acid in reconstituted tobacco pulps with oscillation time were consistent with the variation patterns of olfactory and sensory qualities in the process of closed oscillation; compared with the fresh pulp, the olfactory aroma and sensory qualities of tobacco pulps had unpleasant odours appearing when the content of nitrate ions was reduced by about 48%. …”

Des femmes et des gâteaux by Maria Leticia Mazzucchi Ferreira

“…This research approached the candies as a immaterial heritage.Classified as fine candies and fruit candies (colonial candies), the root of this know-how is in the late 19th century with the daughters of beef jerky producers, at a time of crisis in the saladeril activity.The interviews reveal that the candie makers had a memory linked to the body’s gestures, to the senses, whether through the olfactory memory (the know-how originated from the syrup scent), or through the visual memory (based on how the candy looks, to know if it is good or not).The learning of the candy maker profession is linked to the portuguese cuisine. …”

Alternations of interhemispheric functional connectivity in patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia: a resting state fMRI study using voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivi... by Jiayu Chen, Jie Hao, Jiawen Liu, Huijian Li, Zhaojun Meng, Jing Fu

“…The VMHC values in the bilateral olfactory cortex also positively correlated with the near vision work duration (Right: r = 0.389, p = 0.031; Left: r = 0.372, p = 0.039) while Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores negatively correlated with the VMHC values of the left olfactory cortex (r = −0.359, p = 0.048).ConclusionThe dysfunction of the medial frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate gyrus is the underlying neuropathological mechanism of AACE, and these dysfunctions may be related to poor eye habits and the severity of deviation.…”
