{"title":"Saliva Biobanking: A Scoping Review of Collection, Processing, and Storage Practices to Enhance Diagnostic Potential.","authors":"Manuela da Silva Spinola, Danielle Viana Ribeiro, Giulia Beletato Nery, David D Fischer, Nailê Damé-Teixeira, Débora Heller","doi":"10.1089/bio.2025.0043","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1089/bio.2025.0043","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p><b><i>Objectives:</i></b> This study aimed to systematically map the literature on saliva collection, processing, and storage methods for biobanking purposes, identifying current practices and gaps in standardization. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> A systematic search was conducted in five electronic databases and gray literature. Original research articles reporting cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using saliva for biobanking, as well as reports and protocols for biobank establishment, were included. The review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, with two reviewers independently assessing eligibility and extracting data. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 50 articles were included, revealing that most studies were reports on biobank establishment (38%), followed by longitudinal studies (28%), protocols (20%), and cross-sectional studies (14%). Saliva collection methods varied, with commercial kits being the most reported (40%), followed by sterile tubes (22%). While 64% of studies described processing methods and 78% reported storage methods, significant gaps in reporting were noted. Unstimulated saliva was the most commonly collected sample type (38%), and most studies focused on adult participants (46%), often with disease conditions (36%). However, many studies did not provide sufficient details on collection methods, processing techniques, storage conditions, or participant demographics. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This review highlights the urgent need for standardized protocols in saliva biobanking to ensure consistency, reliability, and reproducibility in diagnostic research. The lack of uniformity in methodologies across studies limits the potential of saliva biobanks as a resource for identifying biomarkers of systemic and oral diseases. Establishing harmonized guidelines will enhance international collaboration, enable robust analyses, and maximize the utility of saliva in advancing personalized medicine and public health.</p>","PeriodicalId":55358,"journal":{"name":"Biopreservation and Biobanking","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we studied six cost-effective lyophilization protective agents to preserve seven strains of Amazonian yeast species isolated from the phyllosphere of native cacao (<i>Theobroma cacao</i>) in Peru. We evaluated the viability of yeasts at 30 and 90 days post-lyophilization <i>in vitro</i>, and their survival after controlled inoculation on cacao fruits in the field. The best protective agents were maltodextrin, honey + skim milk, and honey. <i>Wickerhamomyces anomalus</i> KLG-014 and <i>Wickerhamomyces</i> sp. EGZ-38 showed higher than 97.3% viability after 30 days when lyophilized with maltodextrin. Additionally, <i>Candida</i> sp. KLG-103 showed a viability greater than 50% after 30 days when lyophilized with honey + skim milk. At 90 days, <i>W. anomalus</i> KLG-014, <i>Hannaella theobromatis</i> KLG-063, and <i>Kwoniella heveanensis</i> EGZ-07 showed a viability greater than 20%, with the latter showing an outstanding 100% viability, when lyophilized with honey + skim milk. Conversely, sodium alginate was the least protective agent, as yeast showed 0% viability. In the field, <i>W. anomalus</i> KLG-014, <i>K. heveanensis</i> EGZ-07, <i>Debaryomyces hansenii</i> EGZ-31, and <i>Wickerhamomyces</i> sp. EGZ-38 were successfully re-isolated from the surface of cacao fruits under all treatments after 30 days, except for sodium alginate. This was corroborated via morphological and molecular evidence. This study demonstrates that maltodextrin, honey, and skim milk are suitable for ensuring the <i>in vitro</i> viability of biocontrol yeasts up to 90 days after lyophilization, and their survival up to 30 days after inoculation on cacao fruits in the field.

Addition of antioxidant additives to storage solutions can mitigate oxidative damage to platelets. Caffeic acid (CA) is a polyphenolic compound that directly scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibits lipid peroxidation, and modulates platelet function signaling pathways. This is the first study to investigate the influence of CA on stored platelets. <b><i>Methodology:</i></b> Platelets obtained from the blood of male <i>Wistar</i> rats (<i>n</i> = 5 per group) were resuspended in SSP+ combined with plasma at 70:30 ratio.

This article describes the development of an IC model that meets ethical standards and yet is acceptable for biobanking practice in an Indonesian academic hospital. <b><i>Method:</i></b> We conducted a study involving Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Biobank Unit and the UGM Academic Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, between 2019 and 2021.

Energy-intensive ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers used for biospecimen storage are a significant source of carbon emissions.

Multiple linear regression factors included the number of years of use, storage volume, and ENERGY STAR certification status. Electrical usage and carbon emissions were quantified before and after replacement with ENERGY STAR models. Logistical methods were developed to decrease the risks of exposure of frozen samples to ambient temperature during content transfers. Institution-wide energy costs were derived by converting electrical burden to electrical costs. Carbon footprint assessment from ULT freezer operation was computed using the U.S. EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The pilot project revealed an annual reduction of 310,493 kilowatt hours of electrical usage, equivalent to 134 metric tons of carbon emissions. Annual electrical costs were reduced by $55,889 resulting in an 8-year payback on the initial investment. Using the pilot results, we modeled the benefit of the freezer exchange across the entire institution. The modeling predicted that conversion of the institution's remaining 1119 conventional ULT freezers to ENERGY STAR models would lower annual electrical usage by 7,911,549 kilowatt hours (3423 metric tons of carbon emissions), resulting in savings of over $1.4 million annually. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our methods make a large-scale initiative to replace energy-inefficient ULT freezers logistically possible, reduce carbon footprint, and demonstrate an attractive return on investment while proactively protecting valuable research materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":55358,"journal":{"name":"Biopreservation and Biobanking","volume":" ","pages":"195-202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142332788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
