Learn how researchers may have finally uncovered why some people experience long-lasting taste loss after COVID-19.

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD Even after the virus disappears, some people continue to experience altered taste. New research ...

A new study provides the first direct biological evidence explaining why some people continue to experience taste loss long after recovering from COVID-19.

Researchers identify a reduction in the PLCβ2 protein as the cause for long-term sweet, bitter, and umami taste loss in post-COVID patients.

Researchers found reduced PLCβ2 and structural damage in taste buds of long-term post-COVID patients. Sweet, bitter, and umami signaling were impaired, while salty and sour pathways stayed intact, ...

The odor and discharge are strongly suggestive of a bacterial sinus infection. COVID infections, like all viral infections, ...

Scientists have identified molecular and structural changes in taste buds that may explain why a small subset of people experience long-term taste ...
