Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are the essential mediators of communication between different cells or tissues. EVs participate in the development, homeostasis, repair, and regeneration of tissues. Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) secrete a range of bioactive factors, which are important in MSC-mediated tissue regeneration. Great progress has been made in the research of EVs derived from MSCs (MSC-EVs) in the regeneration of dental and maxillofacial tissues. Emerging evidence confirmed that MSC-EVs can efficiently modulate the proliferation, differentiation, survival, and migration of stem or progenitor cells and stimulate the regeneration of the neurovascular system. MSC-EVs have been used in regenerating dental pulp, periodontium, jawbone, temporomandibular joint, and maxillofacial soft tissues. Having the advantages of low immunogenicity, versatile function, and suitability for large-scale production, EVs have excellent clinical application prospect. Along with investigations on molecular mechanisms of action and development of standard manufactory and testing systems, therapies u-sing MSC-EVs are promising strategies for regenerating dental and maxillofacial tissues.
