In the last decade, two areas of biomedical research-gene therapy and tissue engineering-have especially captured the imagination of the public. Both areas offer the potential for the treatment of clinical conditions that now are considered impossible or extremely difficult to manage by conventional therapeutic measures. Gene therapy has made remarkable scientific progress in the laboratory, but has yet to realize its enormous clinical promise. Tissue engineering studies have led to some tangible clinical breakthroughs, but the routine replacement of whole internal organs is still well into the future. This report will examine the applications of gene therapy and tissue engineering to salivary glands, with a focus on the repair of irreversible gland damage.
