Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are one of the diseases that threaten human health. The delivery of drugs targeting the CNS has always been a significant challenge; the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the main obstacle that must be overcome. The rise of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy has brought hope for the treatment of CNS diseases. However, the problems of low homing rate, susceptibility differentiation into astrocytes, immune rejection, and formation of iatrogenic tumors of transplanted BMSCs limit their clinical application. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) have become a hot research topic in the treatment of CNS diseases in recent years because of their excellent histocompatibility, low immunogenicity, ease of crossing the BBB, and their ability to serve as natural carriers for treatment. This article reviews the mechanisms of BMSC-Exos in CNS diseases and provides direction for further research.

Abstract
Exosomes, as membranous vesicles generated by multiple cell types and secreted to extracellular space, play a crucial role in a range of brain injury-related brain disorders by transporting diverse proteins, RNA, DNA fragments, and other functional substances. The nervous system's pathogenic mechanisms are complicated, involving pathological processes like as inflammation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and autophagy, all of which result in blood-brain barrier damage, cognitive impairment, and even loss of normal motor function. Exosomes have been linked to the incidence and progression of brain disorders in recent research. As a result, a thorough knowledge of the interaction between exosomes and brain diseases may lead to the development of more effective therapeutic techniques that may be implemented in the clinic. The potential role of exosomes in brain diseases and the crosstalk between exosomes and other pathogenic processes were discussed in this paper. Simultaneously, we noted the delicate events in which exosomes as a media allow the brain to communicate with other tissues and organs in physiology and disease, and compiled a list of natural compounds that modulate exosomes, in order to further improve our understanding of exosomes and propose new ideas for treating brain disorders.

Abstract
The diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) remains challenging, and existing therapeutic approaches demonstrate little efficacy. NDD drug delivery can be achieved through the utilization of nanostructures, hence enabling multimodal NDD theranostics. Nevertheless, both biomembrane and non-biomembrane nanostructures possess intrinsic shortcomings that must be addressed by hybridization to create novel nanostructures with versatile applications in NDD theranostics. Hybrid nanostructures display improved biocompatibility, inherent targeting capabilities, intelligent responsiveness, and controlled drug release. This paper provides a concise overview of the latest developments in hybrid nanostructures for NDD theranostics and emphasizes various engineering methodologies for the integration of diverse nanostructures, including liposomes, exosomes, cell membranes, and non-biomembrane nanostructures such as polymers, metals, and hydrogels. The use of a combination technique can significantly augment the precision, intelligence, and efficacy of hybrid nanostructures, therefore functioning as a more robust theranostic approach for NDDs. This paper also addresses the issues that arise in the therapeutic translation of hybrid nanostructures and explores potential future prospects in this field.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury poses serious physical, psychosocial, and economic threats. Although systemic administration of stem cell-derived exosomes has recently been proven to be a promising modality for traumatic brain injury treatment, they come with distinct drawbacks. Luckily, various biomaterials have been developed to assist local delivery of exosomes to improve the targeting of organs, minimize nonspecific accumulation in vital organs, and ensure the protection and release of exosomes. In this study, we developed an electrospun nanofibrous scaffold to provide sustained delivery of dual exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells and neural stem cells for traumatic brain injury treatment. The electrospun nanofibrous scaffold employed a functionalized layer of polydopamine on electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) nanofibers, thereby enhancing the efficient incorporation of exosomes through a synergistic interplay of adhesive forces, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. First, the mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes and the neural stem cell-derived exosomes were found to modulate microglial polarization toward M2 phenotype, play an important role in the modulation of inflammatory responses, and augment axonal outgrowth and neural repair in PC12 cells. Second, the nanofibrous scaffold loaded with dual stem cell-derived exosomes (Duo-Exo@NF) accelerated functional recovery in a murine traumatic brain injury model, as it mitigated the presence of reactive astrocytes and microglia while elevating the levels of growth associated protein-43 and doublecortin. Additionally, multiomics analysis provided mechanistic insights into how dual stem cell-derived exosomes exerted its therapeutic effects. These findings collectively suggest that our novel Duo-Exo@NF system could function as an effective treatment modality for traumatic brain injury using sustained local delivery of dual exosomes from stem cells.

Abstract
The targeted delivery of pharmacologically active molecules, metabolites, and growth factors to the brain parenchyma has become one of the major challenges following the onset of neurodegeneration and pathological conditions. The therapeutic effect of active biomolecules is significantly impaired after systemic administration in the central nervous system (CNS) because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic approaches capable of overcoming these limitations is under discussion. Exosomes (Exo) are nano-sized vesicles of endosomal origin that have a high distribution rate in biofluids. Recent advances have introduced Exo as naturally suitable bio-shuttles for the delivery of neurotrophic factors to the brain parenchyma. In recent years, many researchers have attempted to regulate the delivery of Exo to target sites while reducing their removal from circulation. The encapsulation of Exo in natural and synthetic hydrogels offers a valuable strategy to address the limitations of Exo, maintaining their integrity and controlling their release at a desired site. Herein, we highlight the current and novel approaches related to the application of hydrogels for the encapsulation of Exo in the field of CNS tissue engineering.

Abstract
Geriatric diseases are a group of diseases with unique characteristics related to senility. With the rising trend of global aging, senile diseases now mainly include endocrine, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, skeletal, and muscular diseases and cancer. Compared with younger populations, the structure and function of various cells, tissues and organs in the body of the elderly undergo a decline as they age, rendering them more susceptible to external factors and diseases, leading to serious tissue damage. Tissue damage presents a significant obstacle to the overall health and well-being of older adults, exerting a profound impact on their quality of life. Moreover, this phenomenon places an immense burden on families, society, and the healthcare system.In recent years, stem cell-derived exosomes have become a hot topic in tissue repair research. The combination of these exosomes with biomaterials allows for the preservation of their biological activity, leading to a significant improvement in their therapeutic efficacy. Among the numerous biomaterial options available, hydrogels stand out as promising candidates for loading exosomes, owing to their exceptional properties. Due to the lack of a comprehensive review on the subject matter, this review comprehensively summarizes the application and progress of combining stem cell-derived exosomes and hydrogels in promoting tissue damage repair in geriatric diseases. In addition, the challenges encountered in the field and potential prospects are presented for future advancements.

Abstract
Exosomes (EXOs), membranous structures originating from diverse biological sources, have recently seized the attention of researchers due to their theranostic potential for neurological diseases. Released actively by various cells, including stem cells, adipose tissue, and immune cells, EXOs wield substantial regulatory influence over the intricate landscape of neurological complications, exhibiting both positive and negative modulatory effects. In AD, EXOs play a pivotal role in disseminating and breaking down amyloid-β protein. Moreover, EXOs derived from mesenchymal stem cells showcase a remarkable capacity to mitigate pro-inflammatory phenotypes by regulating miRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases. These vesicles possess the unique ability to traverse the blood-brain barrier, governing the aggregation of mutant huntingtin protein. Understanding the exosomal functions within the CNS holds significant promise for enhancing treatment efficacy in neurological diseases. This review intricately examines the regulatory mechanisms involving EXOs in neurological disease development, highlighting therapeutic prospects and exploring their utility in exosome-based nanomedicine for various neurological complications. Additionally, the review highlights the challenges associated with drug delivery to the brain, emphasizing the complexities inherent in this critical aspect of neurotherapeutics.

Abstract
Hydrogels have immense potential in revolutionizing central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery, improving outcomes for neurological disorders. They serve as promising tools for controlled drug delivery to the CNS. Available hydrogel types include natural macromolecules (e.g., chitosan, hyaluronic acid, alginate), as well as hybrid hydrogels combining natural and synthetic polymers. Each type offers distinct advantages in terms of biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and drug release kinetics. Design and engineering considerations encompass hydrogel composition, crosslinking density, porosity, and strategies for targeted drug delivery. The review emphasizes factors affecting drug release profiles, such as hydrogel properties and formulation parameters. CNS drug delivery applications of hydrogels span a wide range of therapeutics, including small molecules, proteins and peptides, and nucleic acids. However, challenges like limited biodegradability, clearance, and effective CNS delivery persist. Incorporating 3D bioprinting technology with hydrogel-based CNS drug delivery holds the promise of highly personalized and precisely controlled therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders. The review explores emerging technologies like 3D bioprinting and nanotechnology as opportunities for enhanced precision and effectiveness in hydrogel-based CNS drug delivery. Continued research, collaboration, and technological advancements are vital for translating hydrogel-based therapies into clinical practice, benefiting patients with CNS disorders. This comprehensive review article delves into hydrogels for CNS drug delivery, addressing their types, design principles, applications, challenges, and opportunities for clinical translation.

Abstract
Deregulated inflammations induced by various factors are one of the most common diseases in people's daily life, while severe inflammation can even lead to death. Thus, the efficient treatment of inflammation has always been the hot topic in the research of medicine. In the past decades, as a potential biomaterial, stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been a focus of attention for the inflammation treatment due to their excellent biocompatibility and design flexibility. Recently, thanks to the rapid development of nanotechnology and material science, more and more efforts have been made to develop safer, more personal and more effective hydrogels for the therapy of some frequent but tough inflammations such as sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periodontitis, and ulcerative colitis. Herein, from recent studies and articles, the conventional and emerging hydrogels in the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs and the therapy for various inflammations are summarized. And their prospects of clinical translation and future development are also discussed in further detail.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels possess tremendous merits for use in muscle regeneration; however, they still lack intrinsic biological cues (such as the proliferation and differentiation of myogenic cells), thus considerably restricting their potential for therapeutic use. Herein, we developed a double cross-linked injectable hydrogel composed of methacrylamidated oxidized hyaluronic acid (MOHA) and muscular decellularized matrix (MDM). The chemical composition of the hydrogel was confirmed using 1H NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. To achieve cross-linking, the aldehyde groups in MOHA were initially reacted with the amino groups in MDM through a Schiff-based reaction. This relatively weak cross-linking provided the MOHA/MDM hydrogel with satisfactory injectability. Furthermore, the methacrylation of MOHA facilitated a second cross-linking mechanism via UV irradiation, resulting in improved gelation ability, biomechanical properties, and swelling performance. When C2C12 myogenic cells were loaded into the hydrogel, our results showed that the addition of MDM significantly enhanced myoblast proliferation compared to the MOHA hydrogel, as demonstrated by live/dead staining and Cell Counting Kit-8 assay after seven days of in vitro cultivation. In addition, gene expression analysis using quantitative polymerase chain reaction indicated that the MOHA/MDM hydrogel promoted myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells more effectively than the MOHA hydrogel, as evidenced by elevated expression levels of myogenin, troponin T, and MHC in the MOHA/MDM hydrogel group. Moreover, after four to eight weeks of implantation in a full-thickness abdominal wall-defect model, the MOHA/MDM hydrogel could promote the reconstruction and repair of functional skeletal muscle tissue with enhanced tetanic force and tensile strength. This study provides a new double cross-linked injectable hydrogel for use in muscular tissue engineering.
