No Camels: Startup, Sheba Developing Saliva Test for Mouth Cancers
ISRAEL21c: Saliva-based cancer testing on its way
How Removing High-Abundance Proteins Helps Researchers Detect Disease Earlier
The journey towards early disease detection is paved with innovation, particularly in the development of non-invasive diagnostic tools. Oral fluids (OF), which reflect the physiological and pathological states of the body, are emerging as a promising medium for such diagnostics. This is especially pertinent in diseases like Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS), an autoimmune exocrinopathy affecting approximately […]
Why Researchers Are Looking at Saliva Instead of Blood for Disease Detection
When we think of medical tests, blood draws are often the first thing that comes to mind. However, researchers have recently been exploring an exciting alternative to blood-based diagnostics: saliva testing. Unlike blood, saliva can be collected non-invasively, right at home, and holds remarkable potential for early disease detection. This shift isn’t just about convenience; […]
The Potential of Saliva Testing in Neonatal and Pediatric Care
The medical field is undergoing a transformative shift toward non-invasive diagnostic methods, and saliva testing stands at the forefront of this innovation, particularly in neonatal and pediatric care. In contrast to traditional blood tests, which can be challenging and painful for infants and young children, saliva testing offers a stress-free alternative that meets the high […]
