Neurotrophins in Zebrafish Taste Buds
The neurotrophin family is composed of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), Neurotrophin 3 (NT3) and NT4. These neurotrophins regulate several crucial functions through the activation of two types of transmembrane ...

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 ...

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

Taste Bud Connectome: Implications for Taste Information Processing. [PDF]
Taste buds contain multiple cell types, two of which mediate transduction of specific taste qualities: Type III cells transduce sour while Type II cells transduce either sweet, or bitter or umami. In order to discern the degree of interaction between different cell types and specificity of connectivity with the afferent nerve ...

Rapid structural remodeling of peripheral taste neurons is independent of taste cell turnover.
Taste bud cells are constantly replaced in taste buds as old cells die and new cells migrate into the bud. The perception of taste relies on new taste bud cells integrating with existing neural circuitry, yet how these new cells connect with a taste ...
