Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been described to induce angiogenesis in various tissues and used for the development of novel cell‐based therapies. Increasing evidence suggests that MSCs execute their paracrine function via secretion exosomes, especially under hypoxic conditions. However, mechanisms by which MSC‐derived exosomes secreted hypoxia enhance still remain unclear. To study exosome physiology or normoxic conditions, we isolated from bone marrow mesenchymal (BMSCs). Furthermore,...

Abstract Adipose mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC)-derived exosomes (ADMSC-Exos) have shown great potential in regenerative medicine and been evidenced benefiting wound repair such as burns. However, the low yield, easy loss after direct coating, no suitable loading system to improve their availability efficacy hinder clinical application for healing. And few studies focused on comparison of biological functions between derived from different culture techniques, especially exosome-releasing...

Abstract Severe burns are challenging to heal and result in significant death throughout the world. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as a promising treatment for full-thickness burn healing but impeded by their low viability efficiency after grafting vivo. Nitric oxide (NO) is beneficial promoting cell bioactivity, whether it can function effectively vivo still largely unknown. In this study, we bioprinted an efficient biological scaffold loaded with ADSCs NO...

Autograft microskin transplantation has been widely used as a skin graft therapy in full-thickness defect. However, grafting failure can lead to pathological delay wound healing due poor vascularization bed. Considering the active role of adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) promoting angiogenesis, we intend investigate efficacy autograft combined with ADSC for facilitating defect mouse model.
