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 ...

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

The spatiotemporal and genetic architecture of extraoral taste buds in Astyanax cavefish [PDF]
Communications BiologyIntense environmental pressures can yield both regressive and constructive traits through complex evolutionary mechanisms. Although regression is well-studied, the biological bases of constructive features are less well understood. Cave-dwelling Astyanax

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 ...

Taste Bud Connectome: Implications for Taste Information Processing [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 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 ...
