Biopsies from people with persistent post-COVID-19 taste disturbance have revealed reduced expression of a key signalling ...

A new study provides the first direct biological evidence explaining why some people continue to experience taste loss long after recovering from COVID-19.

Learn how researchers may have finally uncovered why some people experience long-lasting taste loss after COVID-19.

Taste cells are heavily exposed to the microbes in the mouth, but their role in helping the body respond to those microbes has not yet been studied in detail. A recent study from a team of researchers ...

Some individuals have experienced a loss of taste long after a COVID-19 infection has subsided. Researchers from the Swedish ...

Sweet-sensing taste cells, supported by the protein c-Kit, show remarkable resilience when nerves are damaged, unlike other taste cells that quickly degenerate. Blocking c-Kit with the drug imatinib ...

Research links persistent loss of sweet, bitter and umami taste to reduced levels of key taste-cell proteinScientists have identified molecular and ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Some taste cells are multitaskers that can detect bitter, sweet, umami and sour stimuli, a new study finds. The research challenges conventional notions of how taste works. In the past ...

"We determined that if ibuprofen and naproxen inhibit sweet taste by inhibiting the TAS1R2-TAS1R3 taste receptor response to sugars, this may affect glucose metabolism." In the team's cellular studies ...
