The Role and underlying mechanism of dental pulp stem cell-derived exosomal miR-31 in the treatment of osteoarthritis by targeting mTOR to enhance chondrocyte autophagy levels
Abstract:IntroductionOsteoarthritis is the most prevalent musculoskeletal progressive disease that leads to functional impairment and decreased quality of life. However, the current treatments remain unsatisfactory. Recent studies reveal that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells offer a promising approach to improve the pathological changes of osteoarthritis, cartilage tissue, and chondrocyte homeostasis.Material and methodsA randomized, controlled animal experiment was conducted on nine-week-old male C57BL/6 m… Show more
