The “Sjögren’s protein score,” a newly identified blood protein signature of Sjögren’s disease, may help doctors measure inflammation inside the salivary glands without the need for a biopsy, a new study suggests. Results from the blood test, based on a group of 16 immune-related proteins, reflected local glandular…
A computer-based gene activity analysis combined with artificial intelligence (AI) methods has identified a dozen potential biomarkers that may ultimately help clinicians in reaching a Sjögren’s disease diagnosis more quickly, according to researchers in China. Their study found that activity levels of these new biomarkers were significantly associated with…
