This study evaluates the bioactivity and biointegration of engineered salivary tissue constructs in a rat model of radiation injury.

This study identifies Trpv1+ sensory neurons as critical for salivary gland structure and saliva secretion, showing their role in pain and function.

This paper establishes a xeno-free, serum-free protocol for isolating and expanding human salivary stem/progenitor cells suitable for regenerative therapy.

The paper establishes a salivary regenerative biobank and identifies markers and proteomic signatures of salivary gland stem and progenitor cells.

This study shows that muscarinic agonists can restore non-healing salivary glands by reactivating endogenous regeneration and mitochondrial function through cholinergic-calcium signaling.
