Sensory neurons initiate defensive reflexes that ensure airway integrity. Dysfunction of
laryngeal neurons is life-threatening, causing pulmonary aspiration, dysphagia, and …

Taste buds are the sensory end organs for gustation, mediating sensations of salty, sour,
bitter, sweet and umami as well as other possible modalities, for example, fat and kokumi …

Airway reflux is implicated in the pathophysiology of a wide range of adult and pediatric
upper and lower airway diseases. However, the diagnosis of proximal reflux–associated …

Purpose The larynx is a uniquely situated organ, juxtaposed between the gastrointestinal
and respiratory tracts, and endures considerable immunological challenges while providing …

Objective The primary aim of this study was to identify expression of TRPV3 and TRPV4
chemoreceptors across perinatal and adult stages using a murine model with direct …

Introduction Laryngeal sensory function in healthy adults was assessed through the delivery
of tactile stimuli using Cheung–Bearelly monofilaments. Methods 37 healthy adults were …

Cancer cachexia (CC) syndrome, a feature of cancer-associated muscle wasting, is
particularly pronounced in older patients, and is characterised by decreased energy intake …

Mechanoreceptors are implicated as functional afferents within mucosa of the airways and
the recent discovery of mechanosensitive channels Piezo1 and Piezo2 has proved essential …

The larynx plays a key role in airway protection via the laryngeal chemoreflex (LCR). This
involuntary reflex can be evoked when hazardous substances activate mucosal receptors …

Inhaled airborne stimuli are associated with laryngeal disorders affecting respiration.
Clinically, several themes emerged from the literature that point to specific gaps in the …
