Unraveled the mystery of the smell
A recent article published on May 2016 on the ScienceDaily website named “Insight into the mystery of smell” provided few interesting facts on the latest discovery on smell mechanisms. The article rotates around the research conducted by Tian and co-workers (Tian et al.) that uncovered the machinery that works behind that how our brain sense the different smells and they concluded that a plain physics principle works here that is cooperativity. The article presented a strong summary of this journal article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 under the title "Achieving Diverse And Monoallelic Olfactory Receptor Selection Through Dual-Objective Optimization Design." ScienceDaily is a reputed science website that offers all the latest experiments and discoveries with authentic and strong research source. The idea of this article was taken from the research conducted by the Tian and co-Researchers at the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine (Tian et al.).
The article provided specific information and related to the latest discovery. The article content was very informative, understandable, and precise that presented an evident glimpse of original research. The article supports and strengthens the information given in the article.
The article is of high importance because it has provided a unique and genuine knowledge on the latest discovery. As a biology student, it is highly valuable that has made me aware of a new concept that could not be understood earlier, even by scientists. The article gave a new perspective to a common thing which we daily sense but never analyze its mechanism. The article picks a topic that is associated with our daily experiences. The article gives credit to nature’s amazing engineering process that works behind a normal process in such a simple way. The article makes me realize how a simple mechanism operates in such a way that could not be solved till the day despite the advancements of medicine and technology ("Insight Into The Mystery Of Smell").
