The Role of the Anion in Salt (NaCl) Detection by Mouse Taste Buds. [PDF]
How taste buds detect NaCl remains poorly understood. Among other problems, applying taste-relevant concentrations of NaCl (50–500 mm) onto isolated taste buds or cells exposes them to unphysiological (hypo/hypertonic) conditions.

Evolvement of taste sensitivity and taste buds in chickens during selective breeding [PDF]
: 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.

New description of vagal nerve commanted intrapancreatic taste buds and blood glucose level: An experimental analysis [PDF]
Introduction: There have been thousands of neurochemical mechanism about blood glucose level regulation, but intrapancreatic taste buds and their roles in blood glucose level has not been described.

The spatiotemporal and genetic architecture of extraoral taste buds in Astyanax cavefish [PDF]
Intense 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

Morphology and distribution of taste papillae and oral denticles in the developing oropharyngeal cavity of the bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium punctatum [PDF]
Gustation in sharks is not well understood, especially within species that ingest food items using suction. This study examines the morphological and immunohistochemical characterisation of taste papillae and oral denticles in the oropharynx of the brown-

Expression of Prostatic Acid Phosphatase in Rat Circumvallate Papillae. [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Lgr5 Identifies Progenitor Cells Capable of Taste Bud Regeneration after Injury. [PDF]
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.
