On adhesion mechanism of salivary pellicle-PDMS interface
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2019 The adsorption behaviour of salivary proteins on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface was investigated here, aiming to fully understand the interfacial adhesion mechanism. Human whole saliva was derived from a healthy donor.

Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–

Interactions of salivary mucins and saliva with food proteins: a review
Critical reviews in food science and nutrition, 2019 Mucins are long glycoprotein molecules responsible for the gel nature of the mucous layer that covers epithelial surfaces throughout the body. Mucins, as the major salivary proteins, are also important proteins for the food oral processing and digestion.

Material Before Morphology: Substrate‐Dependent Mechanical Tuning of Radular Teeth
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Substrate‐dependent material tuning in Clausilia radular teeth. Closely related taxa retain a conserved gross tooth morphology, but differ in elemental composition and mechanical properties according to feeding substrate. Rock‐associated taxa show increased Ca–Si enrichment and higher stiffness and hardness, especially in the central radular region ...
