Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Taste isn't just for taste buds anymore [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2011 Taste is a discriminative sense involving specialized receptor cells of the oral cavity (taste buds) and at least two distinct families of G protein-coupled receptor molecules that detect nutritionally important substances or potential toxins. Yet the receptor mechanisms that drive taste also are utilized by numerous systems throughout the body.

Some taste substances are direct activators of G-proteins [PDF]
, 1994 Amphiphilic substances may stimulate cellular events through direct activation of G-proteins. The present experiments indicate that several amphiphilic sweeteners and the bitter tastant, quinine, activate transducin and Gi/Go-proteins.

SU(3) breaking and the pseudo-scalar spectrum in multi-taste QCD
, 2017 Using the Sigma model to explore the lowest order pseudo-scalar spectrum with SU(3) breaking, this talk considers an additional exact "taste" symmetry to mimic species doubling.

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by

Taste Quality Representation in the Human Brain
Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 In the mammalian brain, the insula is the primary cortical substrate involved in the perception of taste. Recent imaging studies in rodents have identified a “gustotopic” organization in the insula, whereby distinct insula regions are selectively ...
