Microbial Population Analysis of the Salivary Glands of Ticks; A Possible Strategy for the Surveillance of Bacterial Pathogens

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ticks are one of the most important blood-sucking vectors for infectious microorganisms in humans and animals. When feeding they inject saliva, containing microbes, into the host to facilitate the uptake of blood.

Precision Diagnostics in Sports‐Related Traumatic Brain Injury: Pathophysiology, Biomarker Development and Emerging Technologies

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Sports‐related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) remain underdiagnosed, within amateur athletic cohorts. This review critically synthesises recent advancements in AI‐assisted neuroimaging, blood‐based biomarker profiling, wearable biosensing platforms for early detection, injury stratification, and longitudinal surveillance of TBIs.

Salivary glands harbor more diverse microbial communities than gut in Anopheles culicifacies

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
BackgroundIn recent years, it has been well documented that gut flora not only influence mosquito physiology, but also significantly alter vector competency.

The Mitochondrial Protein RESISTANCE to APHIDS 9 Interacts with S40 to Resist Aphid Infestation by Modulating Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis in Maize (Zea mays)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the mitochondrial protein RTA9, a member of the Domain of Unknown Function 641 family, together with its partner S40, as key regulators of aphid resistance in maize. RTA9 promotes S40 degradation and modulates reactive oxygen species accumulation.

Oral Examination [PDF]

, 2017
The oral cavity is the first component of the digestive tract, which is delimited by the lips anteriorly and the oropharynx posteriorly. The oral cavity functions as a protective barrier and is an essential component for speech and swallowing ...

Autoimmune diseases and their manifestations on oral cavity: diagnosis and clinical management [PDF]

, 2018
Oral signs are frequently the first manifestation of autoimmune diseases. For this reason, dentists play an important role in the detection of emerging autoimmune pathologies.

Draper‐ATG3 Interaction Positively Regulates Autophagy to Mediate Silk Gland Degradation in Bombyx mori

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Draper is evolutionarily conserved across most insect species. Loss of Draper inhibits autophagy activation, delaying middle silk gland degradation in the silkworm during metamorphosis. Draper interacts with autophagy ‐ related protein 3 (ATG3) to orchestrate autophagosome formation—a process essential for silk gland degradation during the larval‐pupal

Ferritin1-mediated ferroptosis participates in granular acini degeneration of Haemaphysalis longicornis salivary glands

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) transmit pathogens to their hosts through their salivary glands during blood-feeding. The salivary glands of adult parthenogenetic H. longicornis undergo degeneration post-engorgement. Clarifying the molecular mechanisms

Decoding Dental Stem Cell Aging: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Strategies, and Beyond

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dental stem cell (DSC) aging involves genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, telomere attrition, and epigenetic alterations, leading to impaired proliferation, reduced differentiation potential, and pro‐inflammatory secretory activity. These processes drive cellular senescence and compromise regenerative and immunomodulatory functions, thereby

Usefulness of ultrasonography and color Doppler sonography in the diagnosis of major salivary gland diseases

Reumatismo, 2011
The algorithm for imaging of the salivary glands depends on the clinical scenario with which the patient presents to the clinician. Ultrasound has been increasingly used in recent years and thanks to high performance, easy to use apparatus, it can now be
