CD29 is highly expressed on epithelial, myoepithelial, and mesenchymal stromal cells of human salivary glands
ConclusionCD29 is widely expressed in human salivary glands, and it could serve as a potential biomarker for devising novel cellular therapeutic and diagnostic strategies for salivary gland disorders and malignancies. (Source: Oral Diseases)

A novel PITX2 mutation in non ‐syndromic orodental anomalies
ConclusionsThis study for the first time demonstrates that the PITX2 mutation could lead to non‐syndromic orodental anomalies in humans. We propose that the specific location in the C‐terminal domain of PITX2 is exclusively necessary for tooth development. (Source: Oral Diseases)

Histatins, wound healing, and cell migration
Wounds in the oral mucosa heal faster and more efficiently than those in the skin, although the mechanisms underlying these differences are not completely clear. In the last 10 years, a group of salivary peptides, the histatins, has gained attention on behalf of their ability to improve several phases of the wound‐healing process. In addition to their roles as anti‐microbial agents and in enamel maintenance, histatins elicit other biological effects, namely by promoting the migration of different cell types contained in the oral mucosa and in non‐oral tissues. Histatins, and specifically histatin‐1, promote cell a...
