In 2013, Jiang helped identify the progenitor cell that gives rise to these three different taste cell types.

New insight into the genes, molecules shape taste cells

Taste cells on the skin of searobins and rocklings detect the chemicals (sort of the way you might be able to taste what's in the bathwater after your filthy little brother sat in the tub for a while).

Full-body taste

Some studies indicate (a) that all bitter taste stimuli should generate indiscriminable afferent signals because each bitter-sensitive taste cell expresses multiple classes of T2R (Chandrashekar et al.

How do predators cope with chemically defended foods?

Similarly, if we can pinpoint how the taste cells transmit information to the brain, we might be able to trick the brain into thinking it doesn't need more fat.

Does you body crave the taste of fat?

A multidisciplinary team from the Monell Center has further characterized the identity and functionality of salt-responding taste cells on the tongue.

Understanding more about detecting salt taste facilitates salt reduction in 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

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

These two studies from the Roche Institute have identified the molecular targets in the taste cell responsible for sweet and bitter taste perception.

RESEARCHERS DISCOVER MOLECULAR BASIS OF BITTER TASTE

Many of us eat too much sugar and to help limit overconsumption, we need to better understand how a sweet taste cell 'knows' something is sweet," said Robert F.

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

They further found that the hormone activates cell-membrane channels that permit potassium ions to rush inward, which makes it more difficult for a taste cell to respond to any stimuli.

Hormone dulls a tongue's taste for sweets

This means that the functional unit of taste now has to include not just the taste cell, but its environment as well.
