In a new study (DOI: 10.1038/s41368-025-00368-6) published on May 9, 2025, in the International Journal of Oral Science, researchers from McGill University unveiled a next-generation hydrogel that ...
[2] Comprehensive Evaluation of the Oral Health Status, Salivary Gland Function, and Oxidative Stress in the Saliva of Patients with Subacute Phase of Stroke: A Case-Control Study.
The parotid gland is the location of 80% of salivary gland tumors, and surgery here is called a parotidectomy. The parotid gland has two lobes, and the facial nerve runs between them.
The major salivary glands produce approximately one quart of saliva each day, which in turn plays a crucial role in food digestion, swallowing, speech, and protection of teeth against bacteria and ...
Dr. Arthur R. Hand, professor, Department of Craniofacial Sciences, University of Connecticut, Farmington, is the recipient of the 2007 Salivary Research Award from the International Association ...
Explore how rare epithelial cells like tuft cells regulate inflammation, regeneration, and circadian rhythms in salivary glands using state-of-the-art molecular and imaging techniques. Our lab ...
The newer molecular imaging modality PSMA-PET/CT can visualize salivary glands with high sensitivity and specificity, Valstar and colleagues wrote. This allowed the researchers to observe an unknown ...
But, when salivary gland cancer is diagnosed at stage 1, the 5 year survival rate is 91%. When the cancer isn’t diagnosed until stages 3 or 4, the 5-year survival rate is between 39% and 65%.
“This work is innovative because our use of sophisticated technologies to examine genomic and epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation will lead to new discoveries into salivary gland organogenesis ...
