Olfactory cilia: linking sensory cilia function and human disease

PM Jenkins, DP McEwen, JR Martens - Chemical senses, 2009 - academic.oup.com
The olfactory system gives us an awareness of our immediate environment by allowing us
to detect airborne stimuli. The components necessary for detection of these odorants are …

[HTML][HTML] Axonal membranes and their domains: assembly and function of the axon initial segment and node of Ranvier

AD Nelson, PM Jenkins - Frontiers in cellular neuroscience, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Neurons are highly specialized cells of the nervous system that receive, process and
