Pathogenic mechanisms and potential applications of extracellular vesicles from periodontal pathogens in periodontitis

Abstract excerpt

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease characterized by chronic destruction of the periodontal supporting tissues and is closely associated with the dysbiosis of the plaque biofilm. It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are released from bacteria, which range in size from 20 to 400 nm. These vesicles contain various components derived from their parent...
