The study demonstrated that human acellular amniotic membrane (hAAM) scaffolds incorporating exosomes from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exos) significantly promoted diabetic wound healing in mice. The hAAM-Exos combination improved wound healing by enhancing cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, while reducing inflammation and improving collagen deposition. The hAAM-Exos group showed superior wound healing capabilities compared to control groups, with increased vessel density and collagen accumulation. Despite these benefits, regeneration of hair follicles and sebaceous glands was not observed by day 21. The study suggested potential for clinical applications, though further research was needed to understand the molecular mechanisms involved.
