The glands may suffer from viral, bacterial, and, albeit rarely, fungal infections, which may cause painful swelling or obstruction; they could also become the target of an autoimmune attack or may be affected by various benign and malignant tumors which consist of a heterogeneous group of lesions with complex clinical–pathological characteristics. The loss of normal SG function results in widespread deterioration of oral health. This book, entitled “Diseases of Salivary Glands”, provides an overview of recent advances in the field of SG disorders, focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of SG diseases and on the most innovative investigation techniques that could help to preserve patients’ health, function, and quality of life.Medicinebicsscsalivary glandsminor salivary glandssalivary gland carcinomamucoepidermoid carcinomain situ carcinomaintra-cystic carcinomachronic kidney diseasesalivary gland dysfunctionsalivary biomarkersoxidative stressnitrosative stressviral infectionEpstein-Barr virusHTLV-1salivary gland epithelial cellHashimoto's diseasesalivaSjögren's syndromeautoimmune diseasephysiopathologytreatmentdiagnosisreviewprimary Sjögren's syndromeimagingsalivary glandsialographysalivary gland ultrasonographymagnetic resonance imagingsialendoscopysalivary gland scintigraphypositron emission tomographyNF-κBinflammationautoimmunityinnate cellsadaptive cellsMR sialographydynamicsublingual gland ductsxerostomiaSGECimmortalizationacinarductalspheroidautoimmune diseasesSjögren syndromeB-cell lymphomaextranodal marginal zone lymphomaMALT lymphomaprimary breast lymphomaradiationhyposalivationpurinergic signalingbystander effectP2 receptorsradioprotectionhead and neck canceroral candidiasisMedicineSisto Margheritaedt1302756Sisto MargheritaothBOOK9910557438203321Diseases of the Salivary Glands3026519UNINA
