Maintaining salivary gland function is critical for oral health. Loss of saliva is a common side effect of therapeutic irradiation for head and neck cancer or autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome. There is no curative treatment, and current strategies proposed for functional regeneration include gene therapy to reengineer surviving salivary gland tissue, cell-based transplant therapy, use of...
