Objectives: Research has demonstrated that modulating inflammation can significantly accelerate the healing of oral ulcers. Our study focused on the adipose mesenchymal stem cell secretome (AdMSCS), which is rich in immunoregulatory molecules capable of dampening the immune response and interfering with inflammatory pathways. We assessed both inflammatory pathway expression and macrophage phenotypes at the sites of oral ulcers.

The Adipose mesenchymal stem cell metabolites (AdMSCMs) may accelerate wound-healing. This study aimed to investigate the expression of MMP-1, MMP-9, EGF, and TGF-β in the oral mucosa ulcer rat model treated with topical AdMSCMs.

This study focuses on analyzing dental students' knowledge of angular cheilitis (AC) and xerostomia in elderly patients.
Materials And Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional investigation, clinical dental students from Universitas Airlangga were involved.
Objective: Various growth factors contained in PRP can increase angiogenesis and cell proliferation, which plays an essential role in the process of neuroregeneration and peripheral nerve injury recovery. This study analyzed PRP effects in the neuro-regeneration of axonotmesis through brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Krox20 expressions.
Materials And Methods: Freeze-dried allogeneic platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were prepared from allogeneic sources.
Objective: Enhancing wound healing capacity is one of the main principles in oral ulcer management. Efficient oral ulcer management will accelerate clinical symptom amelioration and prevent complications. Adipose mesenchymal stem cell metabolites (AdMSCM), a novel biological product, contains a plethora of bioactive mediators that can induce a series of processes in wound healing.
