There is a pressing need for accessible biomarkers with high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis to facilitate widespread screening, particularly in underserved groups. Saliva is an emerging specimen for measuring AD biomarkers, with distinct contexts of use that could complement blood and cerebrospinal fluid and detect various analytes. An interdisciplinary, international group of AD and related dementias (ADRD) researchers convened and performed a narrative review of published studies on salivary AD biomarkers.

Objectives: The gene is a key focus in obesity research, with studies linking its polymorphisms to various diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome and energy intake disorders. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of the rs2025804 variant within LEPR and its distribution among healthy individuals across diverse ethnic groups in Iran.
Methods: The frequency of the rs2025804 genotype in the gene was analyzed in 1142 healthy adults representing different ethnicities in Iran.

Objective: Gastrointestinal cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. As there are no clinical symptoms at the beginning of the disease, the diagnosis can be delayed and the stage increased. Timely diagnosis is therefore crucial.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), crucial mediators in cell-to-cell communication, are implicated in both homeostatic and pathological processes. Their detectability in easily accessible peripheral fluids like saliva positions them as promising candidates for non-invasive biomarker discovery. However, the lack of standardized methods for salivary EVs isolation greatly limits our ability to study them.

Microplastics (MPs) and Nanoplastics (NPs), a burgeoning health hazard, often go unnoticed due to suboptimal analytical tools, making their way inside our bodies through various means. Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), although is utilized in detecting NPs, challenges arise at low concentrations due to their low Raman cross section and inability to situate within hotspots owing to their ubiquitous size and shape. This study presents an innovative and cost-effective approach employing household metallic foils (aluminium and copper) as nanoparticle-on-film (NPoF) substrates for targeting such analytes.
