Disease-Induced Changes in Salivary Gland Function and the Composition of Saliva

open access: hybridJournal of dentistry research, 2021
Although the physiological control of salivary secretion has been well studied, the impact of disease on salivary gland function and how this changes the composition and function of saliva is less well understood and is considered in this review ...

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

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesOral 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

open access: yesCells, 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.

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

open access: yesBMC 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.
