Due to local overactive inflammatory response and impaired angiogenesis, current treatments for diabetic wounds remain unsatisfactory. M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (MEs) have shown considerable potential in biomedical applications, especially since they anti-inflammatory properties that modulate macrophage phenotypes. However, exosome-based strategies still limitations, such as short half-lives instability. Herein, we develop a double-layer microneedle-based wound dressing system (MEs@PMN)...
