TL;DR: Results show that COVID-19-associated chemosensory impairment is not limited to smell, but also affects taste and chemesthesis, and suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection may disrupt sensory-neural mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether olfactory loss is a reliable predictor of COVID-19 using a crowdsourced questionnaire in 23 languages to assess symptoms in individuals self-reporting recent respiratory illness.

TL;DR: ProLIF as discussed by the authors is a Python library designed to generate interaction fingerprints for molecular complexes extracted from molecular dynamics trajectories, experimental structures, and docking simulations, which can handle complexes formed of any combination of ligand, protein, DNA, or RNA molecules.

TL;DR: Using a cell-based functional assay, it is found that TAS2R7 responds to a broad range of divalent and trivalent salts, including zinc, calcium, magnesium, copper, manganese, and aluminum, but not to potassium, suggesting TAS1R7 may act as a metal cation receptor mediating bitterness of divalicious salts.
