Our mouths may be home to a newly discovered set of multi-tasking taste cells that -- unlike most known taste cells, which detect individual tastes -- are capable of detecting sour, sweet, bitter and ...
An intriguing early symptom among some COVID-19 patients is the loss of the sense of smell and/or taste, which has led to the suspicion that the virus that causes the illness, SARS-CoV-2, could be ...

After a COVID-19 infection, some people take months, or even longer, to recover their sense of taste. To understand this ...
A new study from the Regenerative Bioscience Center at the University of Georgia is the first to suggest that COVID-19 does not directly damage taste bud cells. Contrary to previous studies that have ...

We’ve all heard of the five tastes our tongues can detect — sweet, sour, bitter, savory-umami and salty. But the real number is actually six, because we have two separate salt-taste systems. One of ...
Scientists have identified a new type of taste cell in mice that, unlike others, can respond to a range of stimuli: bitter, sweet and umami. A co-author of the study told Newsweek broadening our ...
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, it was thought ...
