Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) demonstrate beneficial effects on wound healing via anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties. Chitosan (CS) exhibits excellent biocompatibility and accelerates cellular migration, adhesion, and proliferation. The ions released from bioactive glass (BG) and titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles exhibit sustained angiogenic and antibacterial potency. In this study, CMCS-CEBT hydrogel was synthesized from exosomes encapsulated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs), BG, and TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles for a preliminary evaluation of its impacts on the treatment of full-thickness skin defects, diabetic wounds, and burn skin injury due to burns. In vitro analysis indicated that the hydrogel exhibits excellent cell compatibility, stimulates endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation, and presents anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and antibacterial activities. In vivo, the composite hydrogel dressing accelerated a wound healing acceleration effect, stimulated angiogenesis, and increased collagen deposition and the expression of anti-inflammatory factors. This innovative composite hydrogel dressing as a potential clinical therapy, utilizing bioactive materials, holds promise as a potential clinical therapy that aims to facilitate the regeneration of acute and chronically damaged skin tissue.
