BPI-fold (BPIF) containing/plunc protein expression in human fetal major and minor salivary glands [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine expression, not previously described, of PLUNC (palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone) (BPI-fold containing) proteins in major and minor salivary glands from very early fetal tissue to the end of the second ...

Brain-derived Neurotropic factor (BDNF) mediates the protective effect of Cucurbita pepo L. on salivary glands of rats exposed to chronic stress evident by structural, biochemical and molecular study [PDF]
Acute and chronic stresses affect the salivary glands, representing the source of plasma BDNF during stressful conditions. Pumpkin is a medicinal plant with an evident antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and potential antidepressant effects.

A deep insight into the sialome of male and female aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]
Only adult female mosquitoes feed on blood, while both genders take sugar meals. Accordingly, several compounds associated with blood feeding (i.e. vasodilators, anti-clotting, anti-platelets) are found only in female glands, while enzymes associated ...

UHFUS: A Valuable Tool in Evaluating Exocrine Gland Abnormalities in Sjögren’s Disease
Sjögren’s Disease (SjD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to xerostomia and xerophthalmia. Ultrasonography of Major Salivary Glands (SGUS) is a well-established tool for the identification of the ...

PSMA PET/CT as a predictive tool for sub-regional importance estimates in the parotid gland [PDF]
Xerostomia and radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction remain a common side effect for head-and-neck radiotherapy patients, and attempts have been made to quantify the heterogeneous dose response within parotid glands. Here several models of parotid gland subregional importance are compared with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron ...

eFIN: Enhanced Fourier Imager Network for generalizable autofocusing and pixel super-resolution in holographic imaging [PDF]
The application of deep learning techniques has greatly enhanced holographic imaging capabilities, leading to improved phase recovery and image reconstruction. Here, we introduce a deep neural network termed enhanced Fourier Imager Network (eFIN) as a highly generalizable framework for hologram reconstruction with pixel super-resolution and image ...
