“Scientists discover an organizing principle for our sense of smell.”

Both articles come from Noam Sobel’s group. He is one of the well respected investigators into human pheromones with a history that extends back to the mid-1990’s when he challenged the position of other researchers with his knowledge of brain imagery associated with putative human pheromone exposure.
It is unfortunate that his group has never been able to link exposure to androstadienone to changes in behavior that might allow it to be labeled a human pheromone.
James V. Kohl detailedl how quantized energy-dependent microRNA biogenesis links the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction to biophysically constrained viral latency and healthy longevity. Links from what organisms eat to the enzyme-dependent metabolism of food also link metabolic networks to microRNA-mediated genetic networks in the context of RNA interference. Drug therapies alter RNA interference by altering cell type differentiation in all cells of all individuals of all species. For comparison, during the past 26 years, Kohl has detailed how the chemistry of protein folding is biophysically constrained at every level of biological organization by conserved molecular mechanisms.
