Ross & Pawlina: Histology text & atlas, 5ed pp. 615-6 specifically mentions that supporting (sustentacular) cells in olfactory epithelium contain lipofuscin (like I guess pretty much all cells), and that this is making olfactory epithelium "slight yellowish brown". Does this color accumulate after birth or is it constant? Are there any known functions for this lipofuscin there? VilleSalmensuu (talk) 07:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
