Papillary cystadenocarcinomas (PCAs) are rare low-grade salivary gland tumors first introduced in the World Health Organization classification in 1991. While classically regarded as a low-grade malignancy, PCAs with more clinically and histologically high-grade features have been reported, reflecting the often-underrecognized morphological diversit...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate of the microstructure of the salivary glands of experimental animals born from of females rats, who were subjected to different modes of motor activity during the pregnancy: limited and compensated by regular moderate training. Material and Methods: The sample was composed 84 three-month-old descendants of Wistar rat...
Introduction and objective: The diseases that affect the salivary glands cover a wide range of conditions and etiologies, including infectious, inflammatory, immunological or neoplastic pathologies. The objective of this study was to identify the most frequent salivary gland diseases diagnosed in the School of Dentistry of Araraquara of the São Pau...
The budding of tubular organs from flat epithelial sheets is a vital morphogenetic process. Cell behaviours that drive such processes are only starting to be unraveled. Using live-imaging and novel morphometric methods we show that in addition to apical constriction, radially-oriented directional intercalation of cells plays a major contribution to...
Xerostomia (dry mouth) is the most common side effect of radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer and causes difficulty speaking and swallowing. Since aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1 (ALDH3A1) is highly expressed in mouse salivary stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs), we sought to determine the role of ALDH3A1 in SSPCs using genetic loss-of-func...

Saliva is a complex body fluid that has various functions in the oral cavity. Central nervous system has the most important role in regulating salivation. Saliva as a sample is suitable for simplicity of sampling and because it contains analytes in the free active form. Stress is a condition in which the internal (psychophysical) balance of the bod...
Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier that separates the blood bolus from the midgut epithelia and modulates vector-pathogens interactions. In tsetse flies, a sleeve...

To review our experience with therapeutic sialendoscopy in both the submandibular and parotid glands in order to determine prognostic factors and improve successful outcomes. Single-centre, retrospective chart review. The medical records of patients who had undergone sialendoscopy for sialolithiasis were reviewed, and demographic details, stone dat...
