We are very proud to spotlight Dr. Gustavo Alves and his continued work advancing saliva-based biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Alves recently shared an interview highlighting his research focused on Alzheimer’s diagnosis through saliva—work developed with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of São Paulo (USP), Ribeirão Preto (Brazil).

Why this matters: moving biomarkers toward simpler, more scalable, non-invasive sampling has the potential to accelerate research, enable more repeat/longitudinal monitoring, and broaden access to studies across diverse settings. Saliva won’t replace every modality—but it can be an important part of the toolkit as the field pushes for earlier detection and better monitoring.

What I especially appreciate is that Dr. Alves is also an active contributor in the Saliva Working Group for Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarkers that I co-chair—exactly the kind of global, collaborative momentum this field needs: shared learning, rigorous methods, and strong science.

👏 Congratulations, Dr. Gustavo—excited to see what’s next and grateful for your continued contributions to the community.

Do you ever wonder why two people can eat and drink the same foods and beverages… yet only one ends up with cavities? 🦷

This DrBicuspid article asks a fair question: is it your habits… or your genes?
And the honest answer is: it can be both.

Some of us may be more prone to cavities because of things we can’t see—like how our saliva works, how our mouth bacteria behave, or how our body responds. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it.

What I love about where dentistry is heading is this:
we’re moving away from “wait for a cavity to develop” to “spot the risk earlier and aiming to prevent it happening”.

💡 That’s where Oasis comes in.
Saliva is a simple, non-invasive way to get more insight—without needles, without stress—so researchers and clinicians can better understand what’s driving risk and how to personalize prevention.

Quick question 👇
If you could see your cavity risk early, would you change your routine… or just go for checkups more often?

🚨 Saliva-based diagnostics just got another big “this is real” moment.

ErlySign has been granted a US FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for its saliva-based oral cancer detection test.

Why I’m paying attention (and why Oasis is too) 👇

Oral cancer outcomes are heavily tied to how early you catch it—but screening still isn’t easy or accessible everywhere. A saliva test that’s non-invasive and designed to deliver results quickly could help bring screening closer to the patient (in clinics, community settings, outreach programs, even in the home).

And a quick note for clarity: Breakthrough designation isn’t FDA clearance/approval—but it does mean the FDA will work more closely with the company and prioritize interactions to help move the device through development and review.

💡 Here’s the part that connects directly to Oasis:
The future of saliva diagnostics isn’t only about biomarkers—it’s also about getting consistent, high-quality saliva samples in the real world, reliably, at scale.

That’s the “unfashionable” part… and it’s the part that makes or breaks clinical trust.

This is exactly why we’re building:
✅ easier saliva sampling
✅ more scalable screening
✅ fewer barriers to earlier detection

Saliva is having a moment—and honestly, it’s overdue. 🧬

Do you ever wish that health testing didn’t start with a needle? 💉😅

I often keep thinking about how many people delay care because testing feels inconvenient, intimidating, or simply “too much.” That’s why this LA Times Studios article on salivary diagnostics hit home for me: it frames saliva as a real source of actionable signals—not just “stuff in the mouth.”

What I relate to the most is how practical the promise is:

▪No needles. No stress. Just a sample that’s easy to collect—and easier to repeat over time.
▪Faster insights at the point of care. The article talks about how newer tools can support quicker testing and monitoring.
▪Oral health connects to whole-body health. Not in a vague way—through real signals like inflammation markers that can show up in saliva.

And this is exactly why I connect so deeply with what we do at Oasis.

Because the hardest part of healthcare isn’t always the science—it’s getting something people will actually do.
Saliva makes testing feel less fearsome, less complicated, and more accessible. And when testing becomes easier, prevention becomes more realistic.

If your dentist (or doctor) offered a saliva test as part of a routine visit… would you try it?

🐶 Have you ever met a dog that stays calm no matter what’s happening around them?

New research suggests it’s not just their personality — the “calmness” in the pet may be a feature of specific biomarkers in their saliva.

In a structured temperament test, dogs that handled pressure well tended to have:

▪️lower cortisol (a stress marker)
▪️higher serotonin activity (often linked to mood and regulation)

That’s a big deal because saliva is easy, non-invasive, and repeatable — meaning we can potentially spot stress responses earlier and more objectively than observation alone.

At Oasis, this is exactly why we’re excited about saliva-based science: it can give us a clearer window into what’s happening inside the body without adding more stress to the animal.

Imagine what this could mean for:
✨ working dog selection and training
✨ shelters and rehoming decisions
✨ welfare monitoring in research and veterinary settings

The future of better animal care might start with something surprisingly simple: a saliva sample. 🧬

Answer time 🧪👇
The lie is C) “Saliva is only useful for dental research.”

Saliva is a surprisingly powerful bio-sample — and it’s used far beyond dentistry. Researchers use it to study things like stress biology (hello, cortisol), inflammation, hormones, and other biomarkers across both human and animal health.

That’s what makes saliva so exciting for real-world research:
✅ Non-invasive collection
✅ Easy repeat sampling (perfect for longitudinal studies)
✅ More participant-friendly—especially for kids, older adults, and sensitive populations

If you guessed C, you nailed it 🎯
What topic should we do next: stress, inflammation, or brain health biomarkers?

02/11/2026

Quick game 🧪👇 Two truths and a lie (saliva edition):

A) Saliva can reflect stress biology (like cortisol).
B) Saliva supports repeat sampling without needles (hello, longitudinal studies).
C) Saliva is only useful for dental research.

Which one is the lie? 😄
I’ll post the answer tomorrow — and why it matters for research + real-world sampling.

🐶 What if saliva could help us understand animal behavior—before stress shows up in obvious ways?

New research is showing a strong connection between how dogs behave and what’s happening inside their bodies, specifically through salivary biomarkers like cortisol (stress) and serotonin (mood). It’s a reminder that behavior is often a biological response—not just a personality trait.

Most of the time, stress in animals is only noticed once it’s already affecting their temperament, health, or performance. But saliva offers a gentler, non-invasive way to spot those stress signals earlier—without adding more anxiety through blood tests or invasive procedures.

This is exactly why the work we do at Oasis matters.

We see saliva as more than a sample. It’s a window into how the body is coping—reflecting stress, mood, and overall well-being. And because it’s easy and repeatable to collect, it opens up better ways to monitor health over time, in both animals and humans.

Research like this reinforces something we deeply believe: behavior doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s biology in motion.

As we continue exploring what saliva can tell us at Oasis, we move closer to earlier insights, more compassionate care, and better outcomes across species.

🧬 What if saliva could change how we detect disease in animals?

A new study highlights how dog saliva can be used to identify biological signals linked to health and disease—reinforcing a growing reality in veterinary and animal research:

Saliva isn’t just convenient.
It’s informative.

For animal health, this is a big deal.

Traditional sampling methods can be stressful, invasive, and difficult to repeat—especially in large animals, livestock, or sensitive companion animals. Saliva opens the door to low-stress, repeatable, and scalable diagnostics.

That’s exactly why saliva collection matters.

Micro•SAL™ and Super•SAL™ are designed specifically for animal saliva collection, enabling non-invasive sampling that reduces stress for both animals and handlers while supporting consistent, repeatable collection for longitudinal studies and downstream analysis.

As research continues to validate saliva as a powerful diagnostic medium in animals, the focus shifts from whether saliva works to how well it’s collected.

The future of animal diagnostics may start with something simple—
collecting saliva the right way.

We’re proud to highlight a world-first breakthrough in liver disease detection using saliva.

Professor Darrell Crawford is developing what could become the world’s first diagnostic saliva-based rapid test for the early stages of fatty liver disease — a condition that often goes undetected until significant damage has already occurred.

This work is being advanced together with Professor Chamindie Punyadeera, one of our key collaborators in Oasis, and Griffith University.

As reported in The Limbic, this research demonstrates how a simple, non-invasive saliva sample can be used to detect liver disease — opening the door to earlier diagnosis, broader population screening, and more patient-friendly care.

This work reflects what’s possible when deep clinical insight meets translational science. We’re honored to work alongside Prof. Punyadeera as an Advisor to the Company, and to support research that advances scalable, accessible diagnostics with real-world impact.

🧠 What if clues to brain health are hiding in the mouth?

New research links specific oral bacteria to cognitive and thinking impairments in people with schizophrenia—adding to growing evidence that the oral microbiome is deeply connected to neurological health.

This matters.

For decades, mental health diagnostics have relied heavily on behavioral assessments and late-stage clinical symptoms. But biology is starting to tell a more nuanced story—one where saliva may offer early, non-invasive insight into brain-body connections.

That’s where saliva-based diagnostics come in.

At Oasis Diagnostics Corporation, we focus on unlocking the biological signals present in saliva—signals that reflect systemic processes, inflammation, immune response, and increasingly, neurological pathways.

If oral bacteria are influencing cognitive function, then saliva isn’t just a convenience—it’s a window into neurobiological health.

The future of mental health research may not start with invasive procedures, but with something far simpler: understanding what saliva can already tell us.

🦠 What if obesity prevention starts in the mouth—not the gut?

New research suggests that the oral microbiome—the microbes living in our mouths—may play a meaningful role in metabolism and obesity risk.

That’s a big shift.

For years, attention has focused almost entirely on the gut. But this emerging evidence points to saliva as an early, accessible signal of metabolic health—long before invasive testing or late-stage intervention.

This is where saliva-based diagnostics matter.

At Oasis Diagnostics Corporation, we believe saliva isn’t just a convenient alternative to blood—it’s a front-line biological intelligence source.

✔️ Non-invasive
✔️ Easy to collect
✔️ Scalable across populations
✔️ Ideal for longitudinal monitoring

If oral microbes can help predict or influence obesity risk, then saliva becomes a powerful tool for:
• Early metabolic screening
• Preventive health strategies
• Population-level research
• Personalized interventions

The future of obesity prevention may not begin in a lab or clinic—but with a simple saliva sample.

And we’re just getting started.
