Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, saliva has become a biological matrix with huge potential beyond its applications in oral health. It is an incredibly complex biofluid which plays a critical role in normal human physiology and pathology. There has been long-standing interest in saliva for its uses in non-invasive biomarker discovery, human health monitoring, human microbiome analysis, and (more recently) the disease surveillance of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Saliva omics is a field with broad profiling that includes, but is not limited to, proteomics and metabolomics, transcriptomics, extracellular vesicle profiling, miRNAs, salivary microbiomes, and meta-proteomics.
This Special Issue plans to offer an overview of recent advances in omics technologies in diverse areas of salivary biomedical research, with a special emphasis on proteomics-based biomarker discovery. Since the analysis of proteoforms, as biochemical indicators of health or disease, has a longstanding history in biomedical research, descriptions of post-translational modifications of salivary proteins are also welcome.
For this Special Issue, we invite you and your colleagues to submit an original research article or comprehensive review article relating to this field.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
