Abstract
The treatment of complex wounds presents a significant clinical challenge due to the limited availability of standardized therapeutic options. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-Exos) are promising for their capabilities to enhance angiogenesis, mitigate oxidative stress, modulate inflammatory pathways, support skin cell regeneration, and promote epithelialization. These exosomes deliver non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, which facilitate collagen remodeling, reduce scar formation, and expedite wound healing. This study reviews the mechanisms, therapeutic roles, and challenges of non-coding RNA-loaded ADSC-Exos in wound healing and identifies critical directions for future research. It aims to provide insights for researchers into the potential mechanisms and clinical applications of ADSC-Exos non-coding RNAs in wound healing.
