Rheological properties of saliva substitutes containing mucin, carboxymethylcellulose or polyethylenoxide [PDF]

, 1984
Apparent viscosities at different shear rates were measured for 3 types of saliva substitutes: (a) mucin-containing saliva; (b) substitutes based upon carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and (c) solution of polyethylenoxide (PEO). The apparent viscosities were

Salivary exosomes as biomarkers for early diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma

Oral Oncology Reports, 2023
Introduction: Due to late diagnosis, prognosis is poor for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Saliva is in close proximity to tumours originating from the oral cavity and by profiling exosomes derived from saliva can be used as biomarkers

DNA Methylation Changes in Human Papillomavirus-Driven Head and Neck Cancers

Cells, 2020
Disruption of DNA methylation patterns is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Similar to other cancer types, human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven head and neck cancer (HNC) also reveals alterations in its methylation profile.

Circulating tumour DNA alterations: emerging biomarker in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2023
Head and Neck cancers (HNC) are a heterogeneous group of upper aero-digestive tract cancer and account for 931,922 new cases and 467,125 deaths worldwide. About 90% of these cancers are of squamous cell origin (HNSCC).

Basics for the potential use of saliva to evaluate stress, inflammation, immune system, and redox homeostasis in pigs

BMC Veterinary Research, 2022
The use of saliva as a biological sample has many advantages, being especially relevant in pigs where the blood collection is highly stressful and painful, both for the animal and the staff in charge of the sampling.

The salivary metatranscriptome as an accurate diagnostic indicator of oral cancer

npj Genomic Medicine, 2021
Despite advances in cancer treatment, the 5-year mortality rate for oral cancers (OC) is 40%, mainly due to the lack of early diagnostics. To advance early diagnostics for high-risk and average-risk populations, we developed and evaluated machine ...
