Oral declines and mastication deficiencies cause alteration of food bolus properties.
In the elderly, masticatory function often presents failure in certain oral tasks due to impairment such as decline in muscular force, jaw or tongue motility, neuro-muscular coordination, tooth damage, malocclusion and saliva production.

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

EVOLUTION OF MASTICATION IN THE ELEPHANTIDAE [PDF]
The value of any individual morphological trait derives from its adaptive significance to the total biology of the animals in which it is found. The difficulty arises in determining the adaptive value of isolated characters. Paleontologists can partially overcome this difficulty by analyzing characters as components of functional complexes.

Dysphagia and Mortality Risk in Individuals With Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech
ABSTRACT Individuals with primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS) often develop parkinsonism and dysphagia. To evaluate the clinical correlates and impact of dysphagia in this population, we compared enrollment visit data between individuals with (n = 12) versus individuals without (n = 44) dysphagia symptoms.

Association between Mastication, the Hippocampus, and the HPA Axis: A Comprehensive Review
Mastication is mainly involved in food intake and nutrient digestion with the aid of teeth. Mastication is also important for preserving and promoting general health, including hippocampus-dependent cognition.
