The Role of Exosomes in Force-Related Periodontal Inflammatory Response / 医用生物力学

ABSTRACT

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by cells with a variety of molecular components, which can play the role of substance transport and signal communication between cells through autocrine and paracrine. Exosomes exist widely in vivo and participate in many physiological and pathological processes, including force-related periodontal inflammation. There are stress receptor cells in the periodontium, which can sense force loading on the tooth. An appropriate amount of mechanical loading can maintain health of the periodontium, while excessive mechanical loading may cause destruction and absorption of the periodontium, leading to periodontal inflammation. This article reviews the role of exosomes in force-related inflammation response, especially in periodontal inflammation response.
