A new #ScienceSignaling study reveals how salivary glands respond and regenerate after they are damaged by radiation from either proton or photon therapy, which could guide future efforts to promote salivary gland recovery. https://scim.ag/4oMc8DU
IFN-I signaling enhances salivary gland stem and progenitor cell activity after irradiation
Regenerative responses in salivary gland organoids after irradiation are mediated by IFN-I signaling.
