Shared and Unique Proteins in Human, Mouse and Rat Saliva Proteomes: Footprints of Functional Adaptation

Proteomes, 2013
The overall goal of our study was to compare the proteins found in the saliva proteomes of three mammals: human, mouse and rat. Our first objective was to compare two human proteomes with very different analysis depths.

Bioinspired caries preventive strategy via customizable pellicles of saliva-derived protein/peptide constructs

Scientific Reports, 2021
Dental caries has been the most widespread chronic disease globally associated with significant health and financial burdens. Caries typically starts in the enamel, which is a unique tissue that cannot be healed or regrown; nonetheless, new preventive ...

Comparison of salivary epidermal growth factor levels in patients with gingivitis and advanced periodontitis and healthy subjects.

Frontiers in Dentistry, 2014
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a polypeptide molecule, with important functions in epithelial growth and wound repair. It exerts its effects on cells by binding to receptors on the cell surface.

Analysis in a murine model points to IgG responses against the 34k2 salivary proteins from Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti as novel promising candidate markers of host exposure to Aedes mosquitoes.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND:Aedes mosquitoes are vectors of arboviral diseases of great relevance for public health. The recent outbreaks of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and the rapid worldwide spreading of Aedes albopictus emphasize the need for improvement of vector ...

The Role of New Technologies in Defining Salivary Protein Composition Following Placement of Fixed Orthodontic Appliances – Breakthrough in the Development of Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2020
Human saliva is rich in proteins of variable functions (e.g., enzymes, immunoglobulins, cytokines) and origin (blood plasma, salivary glands, or oral microflora).

A Recurrent Motif: Diversity and Evolution of ShKT Domain Containing Proteins in the Vampire Snail Cumia reticulata

Toxins, 2019
Proteins of the ShK superfamily are characterized by a small conserved domain (ShKT), first discovered in small venom peptides produced by sea anemones, and acting as specific inhibitors of voltage-dependent and calcium-activated K+ channels.

The characterization of preterm newborn saliva by top-down proteomic as a stimulus for the study of human development. A review of the results obtained over the past 25 years

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine
Around the first years of 2000, our teams, at the Cagliari and Catholic-Policlinico Gemelli (Rome) Universities, started an investigation of the in­tact proteins of human saliva by a top-down pipeline.
