Autophagy's Role in Oral Tissue Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review

This review aims to explore the contribution of autophagy to stem cell regulation and oral tissue regeneration. The role of autophagy in reducing survival stress in oral stem cells is discussed, as well as an overview of the autophagy machinery in eukaryotes. The review also covers how autophagy contributes to different aspects of oral tissue regeneration, including the molecular mechanisms involved and methods for regulating autophagy through small molecule drugs, biomaterials, exosomes/RNAs or other treatments.

While this review provides valuable insights into the role of autophagy in oral tissue regeneration, the exact mechanisms involved are not yet fully understood, and further studies are necessary for therapeutic purposes. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of autophagy and its potential for future research on oral tissue and other tissue regeneration.
