Searching for an explanation to this alternate pheromone - detection system, neuroscientists Stephen Liberles and Linda Buck of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle scanned
the mouse olfactory epithelium for potential pheromone receptors.
We found widespread expression of Chd7 in early development of the
mouse in organs affected in CHARGE syndrome including eye,
olfactory epithelium, inner ear and vascular system.
