Salivary Biomarkers and Their Application to Diagnosis and Monitoring Human Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Among biological fluids, saliva is achieving great improtance in diagnostic not only for oral diseases but also for systemic diseases. Its collection is fast, easy, inexpensive, and non-invasive. In addition, saliva, as a "mirror of the body," can reflect the physiological and pathological state of the body. Therefore, its use as a diagnostic and monitoring tool in many fields of science such as medicine, dentistry, and pharmacotherapy is growing up. Published data on "Salivaomics" including various "omics" constituents of saliva such as the proteome, transcriptome, micro-RNA, metabolome, and microbiome has grown up during the lasta decade leading to the development of new technologies and the validation a wide range of salivary biomarkers that will soon make the use of saliva as a useful tool in clinical practice.
