A new study published in the journal Cell Reports in March 2020 reports the use of advanced and rapid spectral imaging techniques to develop a detailed map of microbial communities on the human tongue ...

Researchers from the University of Leeds and Edinburgh in the UK have 3D printed what they call the “first ever biomimetic tongue surface.” The synthetic surface mimics a variety of qualities of the ...

The tongue helps people taste food, but structures on its surface also help them sense textures -- something that's also very important when savoring a meal. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied ...

The texture of a human tongue was found to resemble a random layout. The team used computer simulations and mathematical modelling to create a 3D-printed artificial surface to function as a mould ...

Using a recently developed fluorescent imaging technique, researchers in the United States have developed high-resolution maps of microbial communities on the human tongue. The images, presented March ...

Your mouth is home to billions of bacteria—some prefer to live on the inside of the cheeks, while others prefer the teeth, some the gums, or the surface of the tongue. Writing this week in the journal ...

Depending on how you currently feel about the state of your oral hygiene, fluorescent images of all the tiny communities living on the human tongue may either distress or intrigue you. A study ...

Your mouth is a zoo of bacteria. And in a new series of astonishing (ly disturbing) images assembled by a team of researchers, we get to experience this diverse biome in all its psychedelic, ...
