Taste bud regeneration and the search for taste progenitor cells.

Year: 2010

Type: review

Abstract: While the taste periphery has been studied for over a century, we are only beginning to understand how this important sensory system is maintained throughout adult life. With the advent of molecular genetics in rodent models, and the upswing in translational approaches that impact human patients, we expect the field will make significant advances in the near future.
