Breakthrough Study: Dental Pulp Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Osteogenesis in Alveolar Bone Defects

Posted: January 1, 2025
Dental pulp stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with hydrogels have shown promising results in promoting osteogenesis in rats with alveolar bone defects. The study explored the regenerative effects of DPSC-EVs on Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells in vitro and their osteoinductive effects in a rat model. DPSC-EVs significantly enhanced the expression of osteogenic genes and increased osteogenic differentiation. In vivo, DPSC-EV-loaded hydrogels led to concentric bone growth with greater bone mass and volume. These findings highlight the potential of DPSC-EV-loaded hydrogels as a safe and effective therapeutic approach for defective alveolar bone regeneration.
