Personalizing the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship: Adapting Training for the Next Generation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pediatric hematology‐oncology fellowship training curriculum has not substantially changed since its inception. The first year of training is clinically focused, and the second and third years are devoted to scholarship. However, this current structure leaves many fellows less competitive in the current job market, resulting in ...

Type 1 Taste Receptors in Taste and Metabolism [PDF]

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2017
Our sense of taste allows us to evaluate the nutritive value of foods prior to ingesting them. Sweet taste signals the presence of sugars, and savory taste signals the presence of amino acids. The ability to identify these macronutrients in foods was likely crucial for the survival of our species when nourishing food sources were sparse.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

The Relationship between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Taste Receptor Genes, Taste Function and Dietary Intake in Preschool-Aged Children and Adults in the Guelph Family Health Study

Nutrients, 2018
Taste is a fundamental determinant of food selection, and inter-individual variations in taste perception may be important risk factors for poor eating habits and obesity.

Distinct potency of compounds targeting the T1R3 subunit in modulating the response of human sweet and umami taste receptors

Scientific Reports
The heterodimeric G-protein-coupled receptors T1R2/T1R3 and T1R1/T1R3 have been identified as sweet and umami taste receptors, respectively, and both of these receptors share the T1R3 subunit.

Taste receptors in innate immunity [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2014
Taste receptors were first identified on the tongue, where they initiate a signaling pathway that communicates information to the brain about the nutrient content or potential toxicity of ingested foods. However, recent research has shown that taste receptors are also expressed in a myriad of other tissues, from the airway and gastrointestinal ...
