Biomarkers isolated from saliva successfully predict oral and breast cancer
Screening for breast cancer and the early detection of other tumors one day may be as simple as spitting into a collection tube or cup, according to recent studies by UCLA researchers. In one early study based on a risk model, presented here at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, the UCLA scientists reported that genetic "biomarkers" isolated in saliva...Isolation of Genomic DNA from Saliva Using the Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit

Alzheimer's is a degenerative brain disease that usually begins gradually, causing a person to forget recent events or familiar tasks. The disease eventually leads// to confusion, personality and behavior changes and impaired judgment. Communication becomes more difficult as the disease progresses, leaving those affected struggling to find words, finish thoughts or follow directions. Eventually,...Testing Of Saliva May Predict Dental Caries
University of Southern California School of Dentistry has devised a test to predict dental caries in children. This is a test of saliva// to measure the relative concentration of various sugar chains called oligosaccharides. Sugar chains in the saliva are same as those present in the teeth surface. Some sugar chains repel bacteria to attack a tooth, others may help certain bacteria to b...Genes from saliva may predict oral and breast cancer
The scientists from UCLA have reported that genes from the saliva may be the biomarkers that can predict the //onset of oral and breast cancer in people. These biomarkers are called salivary transcriptomes can be used to detect cell carcinoma. The researchers have been able to successfully predict the oral cancer growths in nine out of ten people. The UCLA team has developed ways to i...Oral Cancer Can Be Detected By Saliva Test
Oral Cancer is a common condition in India where beetle and tobacco chewing is a common habit//. It has now been found that certain bacteria’s excessive presence may give an early warning of cancer of the mouth. A report published in the Open Access journal, Journal of Translational Medicine has found that patients suffering from oral cancer (usually called squamous cell carcinoma)...Saliva Can Now Be Used For Hepatitis C Test
Israeli scientists have developed a test that can detect the Hepatitis C virus using saliva instead of serum. Researchers led by Arieh Yaari of Soroka University Medical Centre // in Israel carried out their study on 37 dialysis patients, people without kidney functions whose blood must be passed through a machine to filter out waste products, reported science portal SciDev Net. Su...Donna® Saliva Ovulation Tester
Description:The scientific principles supporting the effectiveness and accuracy of the DONNA are well established, based upon extensive clinical studies. As a woman nears ovulation in her monthly cycle her estrogen level increases, thereby, elevating the salt in her bodily fluids. When fluids such as saliva is allowed to dry, crystalization occurs. The closer a woman is to ovulating the denser the crystaliza...
