Background: Efforts continue to understand the underlying mechanism of weight loss after bariatric surgery. Taste perception has shown to be a contributing factor. However, the alteration pattern in different taste domains and among bariatric procedures has not been sufficiently investigated.
Objectives: To study the alteration pattern in the perception of four taste domains after different bariatric procedures.
Settings: Private Research Institute, USA.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to pool available data in the literature on post-operative changes in the perception of sensitivity to four taste domains after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and adjustable gastric banding (AGB).
Results: Our study showed that bariatric surgery is associated with significant change in sensitivity to all four taste domains especially salt taste, sweetness, and sourness. LSG patients showed an increased sensitivity to all four taste domains. However, RYGB patients had a variable alteration pattern of taste perception but more commonly a decreased sensitivity to sweetness and an increased sensitivity to salt taste and sourness. Additionally, AGB patients had a decreased sensitivity to sweetness, salt taste, and sourness.
Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is associated with taste change in a way which results in less preference for high-calorie food and possibly reduced calorie intake. This may explain one of the mechanisms by which bariatric surgery produces weight loss. However, data are heterogeneous, the potential effect dilutes over time, and the alteration varies significantly between different procedures.

Background: Although frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with right anterior temporal lobe (RATL) predominance has been recognized as a separate FTD subtype, a uniform description of the syndrome is still missing. This multicenter study, led by an international working group (IWG), aims to establish a cohesive clinical phenotype and lay the groundwork for consensus on terminology and diagnostic standards.
Method: Retrospective clinical data were systematically collected across 18 dementia centers.

Article Synopsis
- The research examines the stability of taste-shape crossmodal correspondences, exploring how people consistently match tastes (like sweet and sour) with visual shapes over time.
- Conducting a test-retest over two weeks, participants rated various tastes and their associated shapes, revealing that sweet tastes are consistently linked to more curvature and symmetry.
- The study found robust temporal stability in these associations, suggesting that consistent taste-shape correspondences could be used to further understand sensory experiences and their applications in product development.

The palatability of protein-based food heavily relies on aminopeptidases with the ability for bitter peptides degradation. However, there is a lack of methods for rational mining of aminopeptidases toward different proteins as well as the evolution direction for substrate specificity remaining unclear. In this study, an in silico simulated enzymolysis-based method for aminopeptidases mining was developed with protein as a model.

Background: Assam's aromatic Joha rice is a unique rice class famous for its aroma, taste, and nutritional benefits, which fetch high market prices in domestic and international markets. Joha landraces are inherently poor yielders due to their strong aroma and predominantly photoperiod sensitivity. Hybridization involving non-aromatic HYVs improves yield with concomitant loss of quality.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate multiple cellular responses and represent highly successful therapeutic targets. The mechanisms by which agonists activate the G protein are unclear for many GPCR families, including the bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs). We ascertained TAS2R5 properties by live cell-based functional assays, direct binding affinity measurements using optical resonators, and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations.
