  • Association Between Bitter Taste Receptor Phenotype and Clinical Outcomes Among Patients With COVID-19

    Journal of the American Medical Association

    Published May 25, 2021

The findings suggest bitter taste receptor phenotype is linked to innate immune protection and clinical outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
