Mammary analog secretory carsinoma of salivary glands
Sylkirauhasmuutoksista 80% on hyvänlaatuisia ja 20% pahanlaatuisia. Suomessa diagnosoidaan vuodessa noin 55 malignia sylkirauhastuumoria. Eroa esiintyvyydessä sukupuolten välillä ei ole ja keskimääräinen sairastumisikä on 60-vuotta. Vaikka itse sylkirauhasen syöpä on verrattaen harvinainen sairaus, …

A JOURNEY INTO LARVAL SALIVARY GLANDS: THE CASE OF AEDES ALBOPICTUS
La presente indagine si inserisce in una più ampia attività di ricerca condotta sulle ghiandole salivari degli stadi adulti di Aedes albopictus, focalizzata sulla saliva come interfaccia molecolare tra il vettore e l’ospite vertebrato e sulle sue proprietà immunogeniche. In particolare, …

The Role of the Parotid Salivary Glands in the Regulation of Insulin Secretion
… for one week prior to the experiment.</p> <p>Salivary gland removal did not alter basal insulin or glucose or short (10-minute) glucose tolerance (SGT). Results of long (60-minute) glucose tolerance tests (LGTs), however, suggest that parotidectomized animals secrete more insulin in response …

A Comparative Study of the Salivary Glands of Certain Animals with Widely Diverse Food Habits
<p>A comparative study was made of the salivary glands of six animals with diverse diet and food habits. These consisted of the following species: coyote, bobcat, opossum, kangaroo rat, cow and goat. Correlations were sought between the food habits of the animals and the relative size and …

Functional Restoration of Irradiated Salivary Glands Through Modulation of aPKCζ and Nuclear Yap in Salivary Progenitors
… these individuals receive radiation therapy, and salivary hypofunction and xerostomia occur in 60-85% of these patients due to irreversible damage to the salivary glands. Current preventative and palliative care fail to improve quality of life, accentuating the need for regenerative therapies. …

Discovery and Molecular Characterization of Selenoprotein M in the Salivary Glands of <i>Amblyomma maculatum</i>, the Gulf Coast Tick
… called "gotch ear." The tick's multifunctional salivary glands are vital to their biological success and likely also play a critical role in transmission of disease; tick saliva contains a broad array of secretory products that facilitate prolonged tick attachment and feeding; disrupting tick …

Human Salivary Gland Stem/Progenitor Cells for Tissue Engineering, SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility, and Neurointegration
<p>Salivary glands and the saliva they secrete are important for digestion, chewing, and maintaining oral health. Reduced saliva production leads to a decreased quality of life for patients experiencing hyposalivation as a result of disease or injury, thus a large effort has been dedicated to …

The Parotid Salivary Glands. I. Potential Role of a Parotid Factor Modulating Pancreatic β-Cell Function. II. An Immunohistological Study to Identify Parotid Hormone Secreting Cell(s)
<p>The physiologic role of the parotid glands is more complex than its recognized salivary function. Various investigators have suggested an intriguing relationship between the parotids and the pancreas, both endocrine and exocrine in nature.</p> <p>We studied in rats the contribution of salivary …

Somatic Mutations in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome
… disease characterized by dysfunction of salivary and lacrimal glands, which is mediated by immune cell infiltration into these tissues. As cells age and divide, they accumulate mutations and structural changes in DNA. These somatic mutations are often inconsequential but sometimes result …

Diabetes-related ultrastructural and immunohistochemical changes in human salivary gland parenchyma and a study on a native scaffold obtained from salivary gland stroma
… medications, and radiation therapy often affect salivary gland morphology and functionality, giving rise to changes in quantity and composition of saliva and to numerous oral complications that severely compromise the patient’s life quality. The aim of this thesis, articulated into two sections, …

The role of the P2Y2 nucleotide receptor in salivary gland regeneration
Salivary gland dysfunction affects millions of Americans whose quality of life is severely impacted by dry mouth, oral bacterial infections, poor nutrition, and other disorders that are associated with decreased saliva production. Over the past decade, progress has been made in cell-based …

The role of Wnt signalling during embryonic salivary gland development
… structure that is a characteristic of the salivary glands and other organs including the lungs, kidneys and mammary glands. Branching morphogenesis is the mechanism by which a single epithelial bud undergoes repetitive cycles of bifurcation in order to maximise its surface area within a …

Characterization of the molecular and biological determinants of viral dissemination from the mosquito midgut: Yellow feber virus in Aedes aegypti
… uptake of an infectious bloodmeal- to infect the salivary glands and enter the saliva. The genetic determinants of viral dissemination from the midgut were characterized using the flavivirus yellow fever virus (YFV) in the Aedes aegypti mosquito as a model system. Fifteen chimeric viruses were …

Significance of Salivary Gland Radioiodine Retention on Post-ablation 131I Scintigraphy as a Predictor of Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
… scintigraphy could predict functional changes in salivary glands after radioiodine therapy. METHODS: We evaluated 90 patients who received initial high-dose (≥3.7 GBq) radioiodine therapy after totalthyroidectomy.Allpatients underwent diagnostic (DWS) and post-ablation (TWS) 131I whole-body …

An Insight Into the Microbial Diversity and Expression of Cysteine Protease Inhibitors (Cystatin) in <i>Rickettsia parkeri</i> Infected <i>Amblyomma maculatum</i>
… only <em>R. parkeri</em> was detected in female salivary glands which suggest its ability to traffic from midgut to salivary glands via hemocoel. The presence of <em>R. parkeri</em> was further confirmed by probe based qPCR assay. We found <em>R. parkeri</em> infection rate ranged 12-40% in field …

Antigenic and immunological determinants of acute allergic susceptibility to meat in a uniquely defined cohort in the Eastern Cape
… to an increase in feeding time in the salivary glands. Immunolocalization of alpha-gal in A. lumbricoides adult worms showed staining in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract while in A. hebraeum and R. evertsi, staining was prominent in the salivary glands. Screening for IgE …

The Impact of Powassan Virus and Borrelia burgdorferi Coinfection in Ixodes scapularis Ticks
… the midgut and accelerates dissemination to the salivary glands. Transcriptome analysis suggests this response is caused by enhancement of anti-Borrelia responses in the midgut and suppression of POWV-induced metabolic changes in the salivary glands. No change was noted in the microbiome. Dual …
