The mammalian olfactory system has evolved a remarkable complexity, integrating specialisations in the nasal architecture that support diverse ecological roles. Central to this system are the turbinal ...
It is now widely known that COVID-19 is associated with the transient or long-term loss of olfaction (the sense of smell) but the mechanisms remain obscure. An unresolved question is whether the ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) readily transmits in close contact through respiratory droplets. The nasal cavity is the primary site of viral entry; thus, SARS-CoV-2 ...
An illustration of the olfactory bulb and epithelium. Top right: A pericyte (light orange) wraps around a blood vessel (red). Bottom right: Olfactory sensory neurons (light red, orange) surrounded by ...
In a recent study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, researchers reported that long-term anosmia following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could be a result of persistent ...
The mechanism underlying anosmia (loss of smell) during a SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unknown. One unresolved question is whether SARS-CoV-2 infects the olfactory nerve, which could provide ...
