TL;DR: The sweet-receptor genes of domestic cats as well as those of other members of the Felidae family of obligate carnivores, tiger and cheetah are characterized and it is concluded that cat Tas1r3 is an apparently functional and expressed receptor but thatCat Tas1 r2 is an unexpressed pseudogene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation and taste disorders: mechanisms in taste buds
TL;DR: Data suggest that TLR and IFN pathways function collaboratively in recognizing pathogens and mediating inflammatory responses in taste tissue, and this process may interfere with normal taste transduction and taste bud cell turnover and contributes to the development of taste disorders.

TL;DR: The 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taste Bud Homeostasis in Health, Disease, and Aging
Pu Feng,Liquan Huang,Hong Wang +2 more
TL;DR: The mammalian taste bud is an onion-shaped epithelial structure with 50-100 tightly packed cells, including taste receptor cells, supporting cells, and basal cells, which contribute to taste dysfunction associated with disease and aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bitter peptides activate hTAS2Rs, the human bitter receptors.
TL;DR: The results showed that these bitter peptides, as well as many other bitter compounds, activate hTAS2Rs, suggesting that humans utilize these hTas2Rs to recognize and perceive the structure and bitterness of peptides.
