Neurotrophins in Zebrafish Taste Buds [PDF]
Animals, 2022 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 ...

Taste Receptors beyond Taste Buds. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Taste receptors are responsible for detecting their ligands not only in taste receptor cells (TRCs) but also in non-gustatory organs. For several decades, many research groups have accumulated evidence for such “ectopic” expression of taste receptors. More recently, some of the physiologic functions (apart from taste) of these ectopic taste receptors ...

Functional Cell Types in Taste Buds Have Distinct Longevities [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Taste buds are clusters of polarized sensory cells embedded in stratified oral epithelium. In adult mammals, taste buds turn over continuously and are replenished through the birth of new cells in the basal layer of the surrounding non-sensory epithelium.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Gene Expression in Primate Taste Buds Reveals Links to Diverse Processes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. Here we present the first comprehensive characterization of gene expression in primate taste buds.

A taste for ATP: neurotransmission in taste buds [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013 Not only is ATP a ubiquitous source of energy but it is also used widely as an intercellular signal. For example, keratinocytes release ATP in response to numerous external stimuli including pressure, heat and chemical insult. The released ATP activates

Expression and Secretion of TNF-α in Mouse Taste Buds: A Novel Function of a Specific Subset of Type II Taste Cells [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Taste buds are chemosensory structures widely distributed on the surface of the oral cavity and larynx. Taste cells, exposed to the oral environment, face great challenges in defense against potential pathogens.

Taste transduction and channel synapses in taste buds. [PDF]
Pflugers Arch, 2021 The variety of taste sensations, including sweet, umami, bitter, sour, and salty, arises from diverse taste cells, each of which expresses specific taste sensor molecules and associated components for downstream signal transduction cascades. Recent years have witnessed major advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying ...

Evolvement of taste sensitivity and taste buds in chickens during selective breeding [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2021 : Chickens have been reported to have a low taste bud count and thus low taste acuity. However, more recent studies indicate that the earlier reported count of chicken taste buds may have been significantly underestimated.

Development of ectodermal and endodermal taste buds. [PDF]
Dev BiolThe sense of taste is mediated primarily by taste buds on the tongue. These multicellular sensory organs are induced, patterned and become innervated during embryogenesis such that a functional taste system is present at birth when animals begin to feed.

Taste bud formation depends on taste nerves
eLife, 2019 It has been known for more than a century that, in adult vertebrates, the maintenance of taste buds depends on their afferent nerves. However, the initial formation of taste buds is proposed to be nerve-independent in amphibians, and evidence to the ...
