Abstract
A major drawback for biomarker research on neurodegenerative diseases is that the pathologically affected tissue, i.e., the brain, cannot easily be accessed for sampling or biopsy. Hence, researchers have turned to peripheral tissues as biospecimens for such studies. The most commonly used biofluid is blood (serum or plasma), although urine and sweat have also been studied. This chapter will focus on the use of saliva as a biofluid for biomarker...
