Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ayumi Aridome"
- Ayumi Aridome's research primarily focuses on the isolation and functional analysis of taste buds, particularly in chickens, utilizing innovative imaging techniques to study calcium dynamics in taste cells.
- In a notable 2014 study, Aridome successfully isolated chicken taste buds and employed real-time Ca2+ imaging to demonstrate the functional capabilities of these cells, revealing their active role in taste perception.
- The research also identified the expression of chicken gustducin messenger RNA in isolated taste bud-like cell subsets, confirming the presence of specific proteins associated with taste function through immunocytochemical methods.
