Discovering the role and therapeutic potential of bitter taste receptors in the human cardiovascular system
Did you know that the bitter taste receptors have been recently discovered in many extraoral locations, such as the respiratory and cardiovascular systems? What exactly is their role and function there?
Follow Paweł Kochany, an ambitious young medical student pursuing his research goal of establishing the expression of bitter taste receptors in human endothelial cells. He further aims to examine the function and role of these receptors in both health and disease.
The novelty of the project and the approach will most likely lead to bitter taste receptors becoming new therapeutic target in the treatment of cardiovascular and systematic diseases.
