Sjögren’s syndrome is a challenging disease to diagnose. We performed a proteomics investigation of tears and saliva from these patients. Great work by Nabangshu Shekhar Das Luiz Gustavo Tannin Schmidt. McCaig Institute frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

From a PRG4/lubricin perspective, we also showed a) PRG4 is decreased in SS tear wash #dryeyedisease, and b) PRG4 is present in saliva! Great work indeed. Dufourlab Nabangshu Shekhar Das Luiz Gustavo Lyndon Jones
