In a Phase I clinical study, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research scientists safely transferred a gene to human salivary glands damaged by head and neck radiation for cancer therapy, potentially paving the way for dry mouth treatments.

The results of their clinical study were published in November in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, according to an NIDCR press release.
