These cells — which are buried in the taste buds — are the ones that recognize the primary sensory qualities, the five ...

has outshined serotonin as the most likely key neurotransmitter passing on the sense of taste from taste bud cells to primary afferent gustatory nerve fibers, researchers report in this week's issue ...

Both ibuprofen and naproxen potently inhibit hTAS1R2–TAS1R3 receptors that sense sweetness in a dose-dependent manner. The suppression of sugar signaling by ibuprofen and naproxen at physiological ...

(The receptors sit on the surface of taste cells, which are bundled together in taste buds.) The notion that each taste has its own tightly circumscribed detection zone can be traced, according to ...

These so-called tuft cells resemble taste bud cells and are not originally found in the lungs. They can be found in the trachea, but the researchers suggest that the presence of tuft cells in the ...

Taste receptor cells are located in taste buds on the tongue and in the throat. These cells contain the receptors that detect taste stimuli: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory. Each taste ...

A microscope image of taste buds in a mouse tongue shows taste cells with TRPM4 ion channels highlighted in red. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...

The tongue is covered in lots of little bumps. On the walls and grooves of these bumps are thousands of tiny taste buds, too small for the human eye to see. The buds sense the taste of everything ...
