Autophagy in Oral Tissue Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review

This review article highlights the role of autophagy in stem cell regulation and oral tissue regeneration. Specifically, it explores the ways in which autophagy helps oral stem cells survive under stressful conditions and provides an overview of the autophagy machinery in eukaryotic cells. The article also discusses how autophagy contributes to different components of oral tissue regeneration and the molecular mechanisms that regulate this process. Furthermore, the review delves into the use of small molecule drugs, biomaterials, exosomes/RNAs, and other specific treatments to manipulate autophagy in the context of oral tissue regeneration.

While this review provides valuable insights into the current understanding of autophagy and oral tissue regeneration, there is still much to be discovered about the underlying mechanisms. Further research is necessary to fully harness the therapeutic potential of autophagy in tissue regeneration. Overall, this review offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of autophagy research in oral tissue regeneration and provides a foundation for future studies in this field.
