Article Synopsis
- Olfactory and pheromone receptors (ORs) are a group of G-protein-coupled receptors crucial for detecting smells, with recent research identifying several OR genes expressed in human fetal tongues.
- Four out of nine identified genes were also found in adult tongues, indicating that ORs may play a role in tongue development.
- The study further developed a cDNA library from adult tongue cells and confirmed the expression of additional olfactory-like receptor genes, enhancing our understanding of gene expression in this organ.
Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been universally recognized as the etiologic factor of many malignant and non-malignant diseases of the upper respiratory tract, skin and female genital tracts. Up to date more than 100 various genotypes of HPV have been recognized. The process of the HPV transmission and the risk factors of spreading the infection have been not confirmed explicitly.

Most of them can also transform epithelial cells of human and other vertebrates. Examinations of children with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP), using PCR method with specific primers, revealed HPV type 6 or/and 11 in 98%-100% tissue samples.
