Sharing an environment with sick conspecifics alters odors of healthy animals

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Body odors change with health status and the odors of sick animals can induce avoidance behaviors in healthy conspecifics. Exposure to sickness odors might also alter the physiology of healthy conspecifics and modify the odors they produce.

Taxonomising the senses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
I argue that we should reject the sparse view that there are or could be only a small number of rather distinct senses. When one appreciates this then one can see that there is no need to choose between the standard criteria that have been proposed as ...

Whole transcriptome profiling of taste bud cells

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Analysis of single-cell RNA-Seq data can provide insights into the specific functions of individual cell types that compose complex tissues. Here, we examined gene expression in two distinct subpopulations of mouse taste cells: Tas1r3-expressing type II ...

Phosphate Sensing [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2011
Human phosphate homeostasis is regulated at the level of intestinal absorption of phosphate from the diet, release of phosphate through bone resorption, and renal phosphate excretion, and involves the actions of parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor 23 to maintain circulating phosphate levels within a narrow normal

Transcriptome analyses of taste organoids reveal multiple pathways involved in taste cell generation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Taste cells undergo constant turnover throughout life; however, the molecular mechanisms governing taste cell generation are not well understood. Using RNA-Seq, we systematically surveyed the transcriptome landscape of taste organoids at different stages
