Article Abstract
Olfactory marker protein (OMP) is a protein expressed in the mature olfactory and vomeronasal neurons of many vertebrates, such as mammals, amphibians and bony fishes. Aim of this work was to investigate the OMP expression in the olfactory epithelium of the shark Scyliorhinus canicula (Linnaeus, 1758), by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Immunoreactivity was detected in the olfactory receptor neurons, in the crypt neurons and in the nerve fibers below the epithelium. Although very little is known about the OMP's function, its involvement in synaptogenesis, transduction cascade, neurogenesis and development of olfactory system has been suggested. The present work shows for the first time OMP's presence in a cartilaginous fish.

Skin intraneural phosphorylated α-synuclein is a highly specific biomarker for early Parkinson's disease.

An early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) represents a challenge and novel accurate biomarkers are therefore urgently needed. Detection of phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-α-syn) in skin nerve fibers has shown promise as such a marker. However, its accuracy for the identification of PD among patients with early signs of parkinsonism has not been thoroughly explored.

Background: Early identification of pathological α-synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease-modifying treatments.
Objectives: We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction (iOD).
Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we included iOD participants and normosmic healthy controls (HC) aged 55 to 75 years without diagnoses of dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease (PD), or other major neurological disorders.

This study maps the surfaceome of Apis mellifera hemocytes, the protagonist cells in honey bee cellular immunity. The surfaceome, proteins expressed at the cell surface, is crucial as it determines how cells interact with their microenvironment. Through a combination of proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, 1142 genes encoding cell surface proteins were identified, revealing a high level of diversity.

Several studies have described immune responses in the teleost brain and meninges during infection, however, fundamental studies that systematically dissect how different regions of the brain maintain immune homeostasis in teleosts are missing. Here we present an in-depth investigation of the immune status of the brain parenchyma and meninges of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at the steady state. We dissected four parenchymal brain regions including olfactory bulbs (OB), telencephalon (Tel), optic tectum (OT) and cerebellum (Cer) and its corresponding dorsal meninges.

Ensitrelvir, an oral severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3CL protease inhibitor, is reportedly effective in suppressing smell disorder onset, a post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) condition symptom. However, the pathogenesis of post-COVID-19 condition symptoms and the mechanism underlying the onset-suppressive effect of ensitrelvir are not fully understood. Here, we explored a post-COVID-19 condition model in hamsters 1 month post-SARS-CoV-2 infection and showed that ensitrelvir treatment caused early recovery of body weight, viral RNA suppression, and sense of smell improvement.
