Lysosome‐Featured Cell Aggregate‐Released Extracellular Vesicles Regulate Iron Homeostasis and Alleviate Post‐Irradiation Endothelial Ferroptosis for Mandibular Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lysosomal redistribution occurs via extracellular vesicles in multi‐stem cell aggregates and controls iron homeostasis for safeguarding cell aggregation. These cell aggregate‐released extracellular vesicles (CA‐EVs) rescue lysosomal impairments and exert anti‐ferroptosis effects in recipient irradiated endothelial cells.

Adipose Tissue Macrophages as Initiators of Exacerbated Periodontitis in Estrogen‐Deficient Environments via the Amplifier Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic systemic inflammation, worsened by estrogen deficiency, underlies and exacerbates periodontitis. Proinflammatory macrophages within visceral adipose tissue are hyperactivated due to hyper‐DNA methylation, releasing small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) similar to those of their parent cells.

CGRP‐Loaded ROS‐Responsive Hydrogel Restores Neuro‐Angiogenic Signaling to Promote Bone Regeneration in Diabetes‐Associated Periodontitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that diabetes damages sensory nerve fibers, especially CGRP‐positive ones, in the periodontium and disrupts autophagy in trigeminal ganglion neurons, affecting bone homeostasis by inhibiting type H vessel formation. To address this, CGRP@PVA/tsPBA hydrogels are developed to release CGRP in response to ROS, which binds to endothelial ...
