Mouse taste buds (left inset) host a collection of taste receptor cells, each one tuned to a particular flavor. When key proteins in these cells are swapped, taste sensations get scrambled as they ...

From Cells to Sensing: Building Taste Buds on a Chip. A schematic illustration showing the step-by-step development of a biomimetic taste biosensor. Starting from single cells isolated from mouse ...

Taste, like other senses, is mediated by finely tuned circuits of neurons. These circuits are formed during embryonic development, when many extra neuronal synapses that will not exist in the fully ...
