Translocator protein (TSPO) analysis in saliva of adults with oral mucosal lesions: A preliminary study
A high signal intensity or presence of TSPO protein in saliva samples of participants with oral mucosal lesions may indicate its potential as marker for malignant transformation; therefore, further research should be performed to investigate TSPO expression in oral carcinogenesis.
