Yes this is the same team, same test that we have been following with Dr. Wong at UCLA for the last 5 years in the news section of the web stie. They are now in the process of mapping additional disease markers besides oral cancers (proof of principle was done on that actually almost a year and a half ago) that can be found in saliva. This is actually a rerelease (for the purpose of keeping the school etc. in the news) of old news. You have to remember that individuals in the lab there, who are working on their own doctorates, need to publish to finish their Ph.D. work, and these kinds of articles are published for that purpose as well. The stating of the markers in this article makes it appear new, but the test is the same test, markers are the same, just stated openly now that the research has been protected.
