Problems with Taste
Treatment and Research - Research
Scientists have made progress in understanding how our sense of
taste changes as we age. For example, we now know that age takes a
much greater toll on smell than it does on taste. Also, taste cells
-- and smell cells -- are the only sensory cells that are regularly
replaced throughout life. Understanding why this happens may help
researchers find ways to replace damaged sensory cells.
