Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE
The combination of hydrogel biomaterials with exosomes to facilitate wound healing and skin regeneration is a promising approach.
RECENT ADVANCES
Recent preclinical animal studies have focused on investigating the efficacy of hydrogel-based delivery systems for exosomes in promoting wound healing and skin regeneration.
CRITICAL ISSUES
Despite encouraging results, critical issues remain unresolved, such as optimizing hydrogel properties to enhance the efficacy of combined therapy with exosomes for wound and bridging the translational gap between preclinical and clinical applications.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Future research endeavors should concentrate on refining hydrogel design to enhance exosome delivery efficacy, conducting rigorous clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of exosome-loaded hydrogels in human wound healing and skin regeneration, and exploring innovative strategies to maximize therapeutic outcomes.
