Saliva TwoStep for rapid detection of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers
eLife, 2021 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 ...

Erosion protection conferred by whole human saliva, dialysed saliva, and artificial saliva [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractDuring dental erosion, tooth minerals are dissolved, leading to a softening of the surface and consequently to irreversible surface loss. Components from human saliva form a pellicle on the tooth surface, providing some protection against erosion.

Dysphagia, 1993 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)
