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 (TiO2) 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 TiO2 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.
