Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Salivary Exosomes in Corneal Epithelial Wound Healing
SEs promote corneal epithelial wound healing by enhancing cellular migration, proliferation, and mitochondrial function while modulating key molecular pathways. These findings suggest that SEs represent a novel therapeutic strategy for corneal injury, warranting further investigation into their mechanisms and clinical applications.
