Article Synopsis
- Efficient testing for SARS-CoV-2 is essential for tracking infections in communities, with traditional nasopharyngeal swabs being the gold standard for diagnosis.
- A new saliva collection device was tested against nasopharyngeal swabs, showing a moderate concordance of 68%, although neither method identified all infections.
- The saliva test was found to be particularly effective for asymptomatic individuals and valuable for contact tracing, suggesting it could be a reliable option for community-wide COVID-19 screening.
In order to broaden knowledge on the pathogenesis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), we reviewed studies on the MPM-transcriptome and identified 119 deregulated genes. However, there was poor consistency among the studies. Thus, the expression of these genes was further investigated in the present work using reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) in 15 MPM and 20 non-MPM tissue samples.
