Physical properties like shape, volume and size affect the dynamics of biological systems. Along these lines, we focus on the topological properties of biological fluids and their biochemical and physiological outcomes. We take as a paradigmatic example the salivary fluid and describe how its topological features may affect the physiopathology of the

Possible proteomic biomarkers for the detection of pancreatic cancer in oral fluids
The 80% mortality rate of pancreatic-cancer (PC) makes early diagnosis a challenge. Oral fluids (OF) may be considered the ultimate body fluid for non-invasive examinations.

Saliva TwoStep for rapid detection of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers
Here, we develop a simple molecular test for SARS-CoV-2 in saliva based on reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification. The test has two steps: (1) heat saliva with a stabilization solution and (2) detect virus by incubating with a ...

A time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay for the measurement of testosterone in saliva: Monitoring of testosterone replacement therapy with testosterone buciclate [PDF]
Monitoring of testosterone replacement therapy requires a reliable method for testosterone measurement. Determination of salivary testosterone, which reflects the hormone's biologically active plasma fraction, is a superior technique for this purpose ...

Oral health is determined to a considerable extent by our ability to produce saliva. Not only must adequate amounts be produced, but a large number of specific proteins also must be secreted for the mouth to function properly. This brief review is directed at describing (1) how saliva is secreted, (2) the consequences of decreased salivary function, (3)
