This study shows trained ILC2s prevent IL-17-driven lung injury during helminth re-infection via a serotonin-dependent mechanism, distinct from TH2 cells.

This study examines bitterness perception of medicines and modifiers across diverse ancestries, finding ancestry-related differences in bitterness ratings and genetic associations with taste sensitivity.

The paper shows inflammation increases Tas2r gene accessibility via chromatin remodeling, leading to heightened bitter taste responses in mice.

This study investigates the genetic and environmental influences on food involvement through twin data and examines the impact of COVID-19 on taste and smell.

The paper investigates genetic factors influencing dietary fat perception using twin studies and GWAS, finding genetic variants associated with potato chip liking.

The paper investigates whether TAS2R38 mRNA expression in taste tissue correlates with expression in sinonasal tissue among heterozygotes, finding no significant relationship.

The paper measures bitter taste receptor mRNA expression in human skin and finds individual variation linked to sun exposure, sex, and age.

This study fine maps a mouse QTL for lean body mass (Burly1) to a 0.8-Mb region on chromosome 2, showing the B6 allele increases lean body mass without affecting food intake or activity.

The paper fine-maps a QTL for gonadal adipose depot weight in mice using congenic strains, revealing at least four distinct loci within the original QTL region.
