Abstract
This research introduces a novel strategy to enhance wound healing by addressing inadequate angiogenesis, inflammation, and chronic hypoxia. The approach involves coating oxygen nanobubbles with exosomes derived from adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and embedding them within a self-healing polyvinyl alcohol/gelatin hydrogel. This multifunctional hydrogel alleviates hypoxia, delivers exosomes efficiently, promotes hemostasis, and reduces inflammation. In a rat model, the hydrogel demonstrated accelerated wound healing, increased angiogenesis, and reduced inflammation.
