Multifunctional type lll recombinant human collagen incorporated sodium alginate hydrogel with sustained release of extra cellular vehicles for wound healing multimodal therapy in diabetic mice

The effective promotion of wound healing poses a substantial challenge for clinical treatment. Despite evidence supporting the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in this process, their therapeutic potential is currently restrict by challenges in targeting and maintaining them. The manufacturing process for rhCol III, or recombinant human collagen III, is stable, and the rejection rate is low. We used a cross-linking method to prepare a rhCol III incorporated sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel, which enabled to accomplish an EV sustained release that was site-specific. Cell viability through MTT assay, proliferation and ROS generation were performed with MC3T3-E1cell lines. In addition, diabetic wounds are characterised by an environment of hyper-inflammation and elevated oxidative stress. The rhCol III/SA-EVs hydrogel, which is a delivery vehicle with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics, promotes wound healing in this setting. The
