- Abstract
The article highlights findings of genetic research. The in vivo expression of 31 of the 32 odorant receptors of the Drosophila melanogaster has been achieved in a mutant neuron of the antenna, which had been previously been shown to lack odorant receptors. Losartan has been shown to prevent aortic aneurysm in a mouse model of Marfan syndrome. The signaling molecule mTOR has been shown to be a promising therapeutic agent in common inherited forms of polycystic kidney disease.
