Receptor-Mediated Maturation Of Olfactory Sensory Neurons: A Time Course Evaluation Of Neuronal Maturation In Neomorphic Mutants, Elizabeth Miller
Receptor-Mediated Maturation Of Olfactory Sensory Neurons: A Time Course Evaluation Of Neuronal Maturation In Neomorphic Mutants, Elizabeth Miller
Theses and Dissertations
How expression of odorant receptors affects the maturation of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) is not known. In a time course experiment, we show that wild type OSNs mature significantly more than those expressing Neomorphic mutant receptors. We conclude that functional receptors are critical to the differentiation and survival of OSNs.
Phylogenetic History Of The Amy Gene Cluster In Catarrhines, Christian M. Gagnon
Phylogenetic History Of The Amy Gene Cluster In Catarrhines, Christian M. Gagnon
Theses and Dissertations
This study phylogenetically analyzed 30 AMY-related genes from 11 primates. The results show the gradual expansion of the AMY gene family which could have allowed primates to adapt to various ecological landscapes and maximize energy intake from starch-rich foods in periods of food scarcity.
