Oral mucosal graft urethroplasty delivers excellent outcomes in complex cases, yet its procedural demands restrict availability beyond specialized centers. Endoscopic transplantation of oral mucosa has been proposed; while feasibility is shown, clinical efficacy remains suboptimal. We asked whether extracellular vesicles from stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-EVs) promote oral mucosa fibroblast (OMF) growth under urethramimetic paracrine conditions and whether culture growth phase tunes EV function. SHED-EVs were collected during logarithmic (SHED-EV-L) or stationary (SHED-EV-S) phases under xeno-free conditions, isolated by a standardized workflow, and characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis. miRNA cargo was profiled with a human miRNA microarray platform and normalized for comparative analyses. OMF proliferation was quantified in a horizontal indirect co-culture with urethral epithelial cells using incubator-based time-lapse imaging. SHED-EV-L produced a sustained pro-proliferative effect across 24–96 h, whereas SHED-EV-S showed a weaker early effect with a late catch-up; both exceeded vehicle at 96 h. Fibrosis-related miRNA heat maps showed culture growth phase-dependent patterns: SHED-EV-L displayed relatively higher signals for miR-31-3p, miR-146b-3p, several let-7 members, and selected miR-181 isoforms, whereas SHED-EV-S showed a marked relative increase of miR-486-3p; miR-21, miR-99/100, and miR-205 were broadly comparable between phases. These findings indicate that culture growth phase is a practical design lever that orients SHED-EV cargo and function, supporting phase-matched formulations for adjunctive transurethral applications and motivating in vivo validation and manufacturing-oriented quality controls.  \nKeywords: cell culture growth phase; extracellular vesicles; stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED); oral mucosa fibroblasts; indirect co-culture; urethral reconstruction; microRNA; oral mucosal engraftment; urethral stricture; regenerative medicine  \n1.
