The perception of sweet taste has fascinated philosophers, cooks and scientists for centuries, but the molecular mechanisms involved in taste perception remained elusive. In August 10 Cell, Greg Nelson and colleagues from the University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, US dissect the signal detection of taste and report the characterization of new mammalian sweet receptors present on the cells of the tongue and palate.Nelson et al. developed transgenic rescue experiments to prove that the S
