1. Characterization of a Voltammetric Electronic Tongue
Abstract : Electronic tongues were developed some ten years ago. These systems consist of an array of nonspecific sensors and a signal processing unit. The sensor signals are processed by pattern recognition methods which makes possible the extraction of specific properties from the sample. READ MORE

2. Measuring Microbial Activity with an Electronic Tongue
Abstract : The electronic tongue is an electrochemical sensor that is composed of a sensor array of metal working electrodes, one Ag/ AgCl reference electrode, and an auxiliary electrode made of stainless steel. The working electrodes are non-selective with partly overlapping selectivity. READ MORE

3. Neurothrophins in the development of the gustatory system and teeth
Abstract : Flavors of taste are detected by a set of microscopical cellular aggregates called the taste buds, present in different arrangements on the upper surface of the tongue and other areas in the mouth. Taste buds are chemosensors that can detect different taste qualities such as sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami. READ MORE

5. Human papillomavirus and other molecular markers in cancer of different oropharyngeal sub-sites
Abstract : Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a known risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC), and over the past few decades OPSCC has increased drastically due to an HPV epidemic. The oropharynx contains different sub-sites, where sub-sites rich in lymphoid tissue, such as the tonsils and the tongue base, are suggested to be more prone to harbor an HPV infection, and cancer of these sub-sites is more often HPV-positive (HPV+).
