Salivary extracellular vesicle-associated miRNAs as potential biomarkers in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Background Several studies in the past have investigated the expression of micro RNAs (miRNAs) in saliva as potential biomarkers. Since miRNAs associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to be protected from enzymatic degradation, we evaluated whether salivary EVs from patients w...
