## TL;DR

Periodontal ligament extracellular vesicles promote wound healing and bone formation through Wnt signaling, offering potential for regenerative periodontal treatments.

## Contribution

The study demonstrates the regenerative potential of PDL-derived extracellular vesicles in promoting osteogenic differentiation and wound healing.

## Key findings

- PDL extracellular vesicles promote Wnt signaling in gingival fibroblasts.
- Treatment with PDL vesicles enhances osteogenic differentiation and matrix remodeling.

## Abstract

Treatment of gingival fibroblasts with PDL extracellular vesicles results in promotion of Wnt signalling pathway and osteogenic differentiation. PDL secretome shows selective wound healing and matrix remodelling which can have implications for future periodontal regenerative strategies.
