Radiotherapy for patients with head and neck cancer inevitably causes radiation damage to salivary glands (SGs). Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to mitochondrial damage and is critical in the pathophysiology of SG radiation damage. However, mitochondrial-targeted treatment is u...
