Axel, Richard

Some of the research described in this chapter was supported by the Petroleum Research Fund administered by the American Chemical Society, the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Naval Research, and the Bristol-Meyer Squibb Institute for Medical Research. Work carried out in our laboratories involved a number of collaborators Richard E. Bleil, Axel Briinger, Gauri Misra, Robert B. Nachbar Jr., Clarence Schutt, Tom Simonson, Roberta Susnow, Qiang Wang, Hong Zhang, and Sheng-bai Zhu. [Pg.322]

The process of smelling begins when scents in the inhaled air approach the olfactory epithelium (Regio olfactoria) (Fig. 3.1 and 3.2). Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck (Nobel Prize laureates for Pharmacy or Medicine in 2004) identified 339 intact, trans-membrane olfactory receptor proteins, to which transport protein-associated scent molecules can bind. [Pg.45]

The sense of smell long remained the most enigmatic of our senses. The genetic bases of biological olfaction were not understood until Richard Axel and Linda Buck discovered a family of about one thousand genes that encode olfactory receptor neurons [1], For their pioneering smdies Axel and Buck were awarded in 2004 with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. [Pg.120]

The theory changed dramatically in 1991 because of the biochemical research of Richard Axel and Linda Buck, who was a postdoctoral student in Axel s research group. Subsequently, Buck founded her own group that also continued research on the nature of the sense of smell. In 2004, Axel and Buck won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their combined work during the previous decade. [Pg.128]
