Research progress in exosomes delivery in the jaw regeneration / 中华口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Large area defect of jaw caused by trauma, tumor resection, congenital malformation and periodontitis is a critial situation for oral and craniofacial reconstruction. Recent studies have shown that some exosomes carrying specific biological information play a role in promoting tissue regeneration. Compared to allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, exosomes have lower immunogenicity, and can facilitate storage and quantitative use, thus have great potential in tissue engineering. This article reviewed the regeneration process of jaw bone and the regulatory effect of exosomes transport on bone regeneration, as well as the research progress of exosomes in jaw bone-related diseases.
