About the Cover
Micrograph of immunolabeled taste buds from the circumvallate papilla of a rat tongue. Monoclonal antibodies have been used to isolate taste cells in order to study their properties and mechanisms of gustatory transduction. Taste cells respond to a bitter stimulus with a rise in intracellular calcium concentration that is derived from intracellular stores. See page 1047. [Photo by J.
