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.

Expression of Prostatic Acid Phosphatase in Rat Circumvallate Papillae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 ATP and its metabolites are important for taste signaling in taste buds, and thus a clearance system for them would play critical roles in maintenance of gustatory function.

Acid stimulation (sour taste) elicits GABA and serotonin release from mouse taste cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Several transmitter candidates including serotonin (5-HT), ATP, and norepinephrine (NE) have been identified in taste buds. Recently, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as well as the associated synthetic enzymes and receptors have also been identified in taste ...

Evolutionary origins of taste buds: phylogenetic analysis of purinergic neurotransmission in epithelial chemosensors [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Taste buds are gustatory endorgans which use an uncommon purinergic signalling system to transmit information to afferent gustatory nerve fibres. In mammals, ATP is a crucial neurotransmitter released by the taste cells to activate the afferent nerve ...

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 ...

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.

Lgr5 Identifies Progenitor Cells Capable of Taste Bud Regeneration after Injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Taste buds are composed of a variety of taste receptor cell types that develop from tongue epithelium and are regularly replenished under normal homeostatic conditions as well as after injury.
