As a result from these treatments , my pharingial mucous atrophied,and 10 years later in 2006, after I born my second child began to atrophied My nasal mucous. I have problems with breathing and sleeping, when the air is dry I have lungs and kidney pain.My others salivary glands are working in my mouth, I have not bad smell in my nose, it is not ozena! Resently ,I have read a scietific report about rescue of salivary glands by scietists from Groningen â??Nitherlands . My question is: Is it possible ,using cells from my others salivary glands to regenerate or Transplant exocrine glands in the throat and the nose ?

Hi Janka,
Welcome to HCM.
The way scientific knowledge is increasing by leaps and bounds, nothing seems to be impossible these days.
As of now I do not know if there is any technique of implanting salivary gland cells. We already have host of tissue replacement therapies such as bone marrow transplant, liver transplant etc. May be this is also possible. Try to get in touch with those scientists in Netherland and find out the details.
Wishing you all the best.
