Other studies will explore how odour molecules modify taste cell responses and, ultimately, human taste perception.
Nose and tongue have same receptors, finds study
Scientists will continue study whether or not odor receptors are specially located on a specific taste cell type, for example, sweet- or salt-detecting cells.

Some of these newly-discovered genes may help researchers to better understand how a taste cell detects a given taste quality.
New insight into the genes, molecules shape taste cells
Recently, Glendinning and colleagues [16] suggested that salivary leptin might act at leptin receptor level present in taste cells, in a way similar to what was reported for the satiation peptide PYY [22].
Association between Salivary Leptin Levels and Taste Perception in Children
This sensory system is served by three nerves, each of which contains neurons that contact individual taste cells within taste buds (Finger and Simon, 2000).
How do predators cope with chemically defended foods?
Additional studies revealed that the Lgr5cxprcssing cells were capable of becoming any one of the three major taste cell types.
Elusive taste stem cells identified
Identification of these cells opens up a whole new area for studying taste cell renewal, and contributes to stem cell biology in general," said senior author Peihua Jiang, Ph.D., also a Monell molecular neurobiologist.
Elusive taste stem cells offer new hope to cancer patients and elderly
When a gut taste cell detects sweet, it triggers a cascade of molecular events, a simplified view of which is shown here.
Stomach's sweet tooth: turns out taste is not just for the tongue
The SGLT1 sensor is a transporter that moves glucose into the sweet taste cell when sodium is present, thus triggering the cell to register sweetness.
How our taste buds know that sugar is sweet
"It makes sense that nature would have built a taste cell like this, so as not to confuse salty with sour," she said.
How we perceive sour tasting foods
"This means that the functional unit of taste now has to include not just the taste cell, but its environment as well."
Salt's technique for tickling the taste buds
Scientists say odour sensors - usually found in the nose - were also discovered on taste cells in the mouth.
