Plant and animal-derived fusion nanovesicles rescue inflammation-compromised osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth and has emerged as a global public health issue. Current therapies primarily address pathogenic factors and alleviate symptoms, with limited options available for complete restoration and reconstruction of already absorbed periodontal bone tissue. In this study, we developed a nanotherapeutic strategy utilizing fusion nanovesicles (FVs) to modulate the inflammatory microenvironment and create a regenerative niche for periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), which play a crucial role in periodontal tissue repair. The FVs are composed of Scutellaria baicalensis nanovesicles (SBNVs) with anti-Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and anti-inflammatory properties, combined wit
