Summary

The BIO-MAX (BIOlogical waste sample collection for progress in oral and MAXillofacial research) study, led by IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio, is a five-year observational research project aimed at improving the understanding and treatment of oral and maxillofacial conditions.

Researchers are collecting and analyzing biological samples-such as saliva, blood, and tissues typically discarded during dental and surgical procedures-from adult patients visiting the hospital for oral exams or surgery. A key focus is the study of salivary irisin, a promising biomarker linked to diseases like diabetes and heart disease. By examining how irisin levels vary with age, gender, lifestyle, and oral health, the team hopes to establish baseline values and better understand its diagnostic potential.

In addition to irisin analysis, the study will explore other waste tissues to uncover disease mechanisms, identify new biomarkers, and test future therapies using patient-derived laboratory models. Overall, BIO-MAX seeks to enhance diagnostics, improve patient care, and pave the way for innovative treatments in oral and maxillofacial medicine.
