The paper identifies Nutlin3a as a senolytic compound that reduces radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction by transiently activating p53 in a two-step organoid screening approach.

This study identifies KLHL14's role in maintaining thyroid epithelial identity and regulating tissue homeostasis by modulating TGF-β signaling, with implications for thyroid cancer.

This study identifies IFN-β signaling as a key mediator of radiation-induced inflammation and cell death in thyroid organoids, with dual effects on survival and regenerative potential.

The paper shows that transposable element derepression triggers IFN-I signaling, boosting stem/progenitor cell activity after irradiation.

The paper identifies Notch signaling as essential for maintaining stem/progenitor cell self-renewal and migration post-irradiation in salivary and other gland organoids.

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

This study shows that radiotherapy primes microglia in rats to have a heightened immune response to future inflammation, and this effect is observed in human brain tissue.
