Periodontitis is caused by host immune-inflammatory response to bacterial insult. A high proportion of pro-inflammatory macrophages anti-inflammatory leads the pathogenesis periodontitis. As stem cell-derived exosomes can modulate macrophage phenotype, dental pulp (DPSC-Exo) effectively treat In this study, we demonstrated that DPSC-Exo-incorporated chitosan hydrogel (DPSC-Exo/CS) accelerate healing alveolar bone and periodontal epithelium in mice with Gene Ontology (GO) term enrichment...

Although mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exos) have been shown to therapeutic effects in experimental periodontitis, their drawbacks, such as low yield and limited efficacy, hampered clinical application. These drawbacks can be largely reduced by replacing the traditional 2D culture system with a 3D system. However, potential function of MSC-exos produced (3D-exos) periodontitis remains elusive. This study showed that compared generated via (2D-exos), 3D-exos enhanced...

Exosomes are important mediators of intercellular communication and have a vital part in the diagnosis treatment various diseases humans. Here, we investigated benefits underlying mechanism exosomes secreted via stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-derived exosomes) promoting alveolar bone regeneration, thus providing new insights into exosome-based therapy for periodontitis. SHED-derived were isolated by ultracentrifugation. The impacts on angiogenic ability umbilical vein...

Periodontitis is initiated by the infection of periodontal bacteria and subsequent tissue inflammation due to immunoreaction, eventually leading apparatus loss. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) have exhibited beneficial characteristics in dental regeneration. However, immunomodulatory functions SHEDs not been elucidated context periodontitis treatment. In this study, we investigated potential effects on experimental demonstrated that multidose delivery led...

Abstract Diabetes-associated periodontitis (DP) aggravates diabetic complications and increases mortality from diabetes. DP is caused by diabetes-enhanced host immune-inflammatory responses to bacterial insult. In this study, we found that persistently elevated CCL2 levels in combination with proinflammatory monocyte infiltration of periodontal tissues were closely related DP. Moreover, inhibition oral administration bindarit reduced alveolar bone loss increased epithelial thickness...

Abstract The consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) has been linked to osteoporosis and an increased risk fragility fractures. However, the specific mechanisms HFD-induced are not fully understood. Our study shows that exposure HFD induces premature senescence in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), diminishing their proliferation osteogenic capability, thereby contributes osteoporosis. Transcriptomic chromatin accessibility analyses revealed decreased vitamin D receptor (VDR)-binding...

Abstract Aim Clinical and in vitro evidence indicates that chronic inflammatory responses initiated by dental caries can persist the pulp even after treatment, necessitating formation of reparative dentin to restore tissue homeostasis health. Human stem cells (hDPSCs) serve as crucial precursors this process. This study explores role B their secreted factor, Angiopoietin Like 1 (ANGPTL1), promoting hDPSCs differentiation into odontoblasts under carious conditions, with a particular focus on...

Periodontitis leads to the degradation of tooth-supporting tissues, ultimately causing tooth mobility and loss. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) surgery employs barrier membranes facilitate regeneration. However, conventional lack bone-inducing properties, thereby limiting their efficacy. Our objective was develop a bifunctional GTR membrane that combines mechanical stability with capabilities. To achieve this, we engineered BMP2 peptide-modified polycaprolactone-collagen nanosheets (BPCNs)...

Radiation-induced oral mucositis affects patient quality of life and reduces tolerance to cancer therapy. Unfortunately, traditional treatments are insufficient for the treatment might elicit severe side effects. Due their immunomodulatory anti-inflammatory properties, transplantation mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a potential therapeutic strategy mucositis. However, systemically infused MSCs rarely reach inflamed sites, impacting clinical efficacy. Previous studies have demonstrated that...

Based on the selective area growth (SAG) technique, an enhancement mode GaN recessed gate MOSFET was fabricated successfully with negligible trapping effect, presenting extremely small threshold voltage (Vth) hysteresis of 50 mV at a bias swing up to 10 V. Compared larger Vth by dry-etching, correlation between and lattice damage related traps caused plasma dry etching process has been confirmed. Furthermore, SAG shows lower turn-ON resistance due higher MOS channel mobility. We believe that...
