Abstract: Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) located in the olfactory epithelium (OE) detect thousands of volatile environmental odors to form the sense of smell. OSNs are generated from basal cells, which show the characteristics of progenitor/stem cells. In the mammalian OE, persistent neurogenesis occurs during lifetime, providing a unique model to study the tissue turnover and fate determination of stem cells.
