Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

The formation of endoderm-derived taste sensory organs requires a Pax9-dependent expansion of embryonic taste bud progenitor cells.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
In mammals, taste buds develop in different regions of the oral cavity. Small epithelial protrusions form fungiform papillae on the ectoderm-derived dorsum of the tongue and contain one or few taste buds, while taste buds in the soft palate develop ...

Immunoelectron Microscopic Studies on Protein Gene Product 9.5 and Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide in Vallate Taste Cells and Related Nerves in the Guinea Pig

open access: yes, 2009
On the basis of our previous report that protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9. 5)immunoreactive nerve fibers and taste cells and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)- immunoreactive nerve fibers are found in guinea pig vallate papillae [Huang and Lu (1996b)

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Tripotent Lgr5 stem cells in the posterior tongue generate lingual, taste, and salivary gland lineages

open access: yesNature Communications
The circumvallate papillae and foliate papillae of the posterior tongue contain taste buds in close proximity to specialized salivary glands, known as von Ebner glands.

Ecto-calcium-dependent ATPase activity of mammalian taste bud cells.

open access: yes, 1992
Histochemistry was utilized to characterize Ca-ATPases associated with lingual taste buds in the golden hamster. Taste buds showed elevated staining for magnesium- or calcium-dependent ATPase (Ca-ATPase) relative to the surrounding epithelium.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Taste bud density in circumvallate and fungiform papillae of the bovine tongue [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Taste bud quantitation may provide useful parameters for interspecies comparisons of the gustatory system. The present study is a morphometric analysis of bovine taste papillae.
