Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma‐Risk Factors, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
ABSTRACT Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) usually originates from the precancerous lesions of oral mucosa and accounts for approximately 90% of oral cancers. In‐depth understanding of pathogenesis, hallmarks, and etiological factors is a crucial prerequisite for advancing the diagnosis and treatment for OSCC patients. This review aims to present the
