Salivary Enhancement Therapies

Salivary enhancement therapies.

When salivary output is reduced chronically to a significant extent, there is a marked increase in dental caries. As the role of saliva in protection of the oral hard tissue is well recognized, there have long been efforts to enhance salivary function in conditions with associated secretory hypofunction. The rationale is that by stimulating salivary output, caries and other oral complications w...

No Incidence of BRAF Mutations in Salivary Gland Carcinomas—Implications for Anti-EGFR Therapies

BRAF is the main effector of KRAS in the RAS-RAF-MAPK axis, a signaling pathway downstream of EGFR. The activation of this cascade is an important pathway in cancer development and is considered a key pathway for therapeutic molecules. Recent studies in metastatic colorectal cancer found that an oncogenic activation of BRAF by a point mutation in exon 15 (V600E) could bypass the EGFR-initiated ...

Enhancement of tick-borne encephalitis virus transmission by tick salivary gland extracts.

To investigate the role of ticks in TBE virus transmission, salivary gland extract (SGE) was derived from partially fed female Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. Guinea-pigs were infested with uninfected R. appendiculatus nymphs and inoculated with a mixture of TBE virus and SGE or with virus alone. The number of ticks which on average acquired virus...
