Targeted Synergistic Therapy for Bone and Brain Disorders Using Hydrogel Microneedles Loaded with Exosomes



Targeted Synergistic Therapy for Bone and Brain Disorders Using Hydrogel Microneedles Loaded with Exosomes

Summary: This study presents a novel hydrogel microneedle system engineered for controlled release of exosomes. The platform enables targeted, minimally invasive delivery with synergistic therapeutic effects. In diabetic wound models, the exosome-loaded microneedles reversed macrophage dysfunction and accelerated diabetic foot ulcer healing. The technology holds broad potential for regenerative applications in both hard and soft tissues.

Key Highlights:

  • Hydrogel microneedles provide sustained, localized exosome delivery
  • Reversed macrophage dysfunction and improved DFU healing
  • Minimally invasive platform with strong translational potential
  • Dual application for bone regeneration and neurological conditions
