This study investigates the mechanism of aging-related submandibular (SMG) dysfunction and evaluates the therapeutic potential of dental pulp stem cell-derived exosomes (DPSC-exos). We found that the stimulated salivary flow rate was significantly reduced in naturally aging and D-galactose-induced aging mice (D-gal mice) compared to control mice.
