A study led by Nikita Komarov and Simon Sprecher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, has discovered neurons in the fly larva mouth that allow the taste of food texture.
Scientists have discovered that fruit fly larvae can actually "taste" food texture, thanks to specialized neurons in their ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich have for the first time investigated how protein structures derived from fava beans affect a ...
Conclusion: Mechanotransduction plays an important role in regulating normal GI function. Our results suggest that the Piezo1 mechanoreceptor may play an important role in the ENS as its activation ...
2016. This is a solid study of stimulus-evoked neural activity dynamics in the feedforward pathway from mouse hand/forelimb mechanoreceptor afferents to S1 and M1 cortex. The conclusions are generally ...
TRPV4, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family, is a prominent mechanoreceptor involved in this process. Upon activation, TRPV4 channels allow a significant influx of calcium ...
