Chemokines and Cytokines as Salivary Biomarkers for the Early Diagnosis of Oral Cancer by Gareema Prasad, Michael McCullough

“…Thus it has been hypothesized that patients with oral cancer and oral potentially malignant lesions will have elevated levels of specific chemokines in oral fluids and that this may be used as a marker of both the early detection of malignant disease and progression to malignancy. The concept that salivary biomarkers can be easily measured and indicate disease states has profound consequences for clinical practice and may open up new strategies for the diagnosis, prognosis, and potential therapy of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). …”

A Review on JC Virus Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients by Serena Delbue, Mariano Ferraresso, Luciana Ghio, Camilla Carloni, Silvia Carluccio, Mirco Belingheri, Alberto Edefonti, Pasquale Ferrante

“…In case of immunodeficient hosts, JCV can lytically infect the oligodendrocytes, causing a fatal demyelinating disease, known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Although the reactivation of another human PyV, BK virus (BKV), is relatively common and its association with the polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PyVAN) following renal transplantation is proven, JCV replication and its impact on graft function and survival are less well studied. …”
