Schematic representation of the paracrine effects of exosomes derived from SHED. Exosomes derived from osteogenic-conditioned SHED induce PDLSCs osteogenic differentiation via the activation of Wnt/β-catenin and BMP/Smad signaling pathways. Inline graphic: increase; all the other arrows indicate the direction of the flow; BMP2: Bone morphogenetic protein 2; PDLSCs: periodontal ligament stem cells; SHED: stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth; SMAD: small mother against decapentaplegic; Wnt3a: Wingless-related integration site family member 3A. See text for explanation [132].
