    Abstract

    The work described in this thesis focused on two main points. Firstly, we aimed to unravel the effect of radiation-induced microenvironmental changes on the regenerative potential of SGSCs and investigate the possible modulation or intervention of microenvironmental factors to improve SGSC function by using salivary gland organoids as a model. Secondly, we utilized human salivary gland biopsy-derived organoids to explore the SARS-CoV-2 infection process.
