Abstract Background Treatments based on stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been explored as an alternative to cell transplantation-based therapies in periodontal regeneration. Dental follicle cells (DFSCs) shown great potential for regenerative medicine applications. However, it is unclear whether sEVs derived from DFSCs (DFSCs-sEVs) could be used This study investigates DFSCs-sEVs regenerate damaged tissue and the underlying mechanism. Methods were isolated...

The mechanism of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), which leads to the final erosion cartilage and subchondral bone, has been widely demonstrated, but still not clearly elucidated. Many studies have pointed that NLRP3-mediated inflammation played a vital role in degenerative diseases. However, its interaction with synovitis TMJOA remained poorly investigated. In our study, we explored NLRP3 inflammasome therapeutic potential caspase-1 inhibitors. By establishing rat model, found...

Tissue or organ regeneration using xenogeneic matrices is a promising approach to address the shortage of donor for allotransplantation. Success such has been demonstrated correlate with macrophage-mediated fibrotic homeostasis and tissue remodeling. The previous studies have that treated dentin matrix (TDM) could be suitable bioactive substrate allogeneic tooth root regeneration. This study constructed bioengineered (bio-root) via combination porcine TDM (pTDM) dental follicle cells (DFCs)....

Extracellularmatrix (ECM)‐based scaffolds are important for their potential therapeutic application. Treated dentin matrix (TDM), a kind of ECM, seeded with allogeneic dental follicle stem cells (TDM/aDFC) provides suitable inductive microenvironment tooth root regeneration. Considering the limited sources, xenogeneic TDM (xTDM) is possible alternative to TDM; however, xTDM‐based scaffold presents severe osteolysis and resorption lacunae causing regenerated failure. Immune response–induced...

Abstract Commonly recognized mechanisms of the xenogeneic-extracellular matrix-based regenerative medicine include timely degradation, release bioactive molecules, induced differentiation stem cells, and well-controlled inflammation. This process is most feasible for stromal tissue reconstruction, yet unsuitable non-degradable scaffold prefabricated-shaped regeneration, like odontogenesis. Treated dentin matrix (TDM) has been identified as a regeneration. study explored xenogeneic porcine...
