    TLDR Exosomes from stem cells help wounds heal faster by affecting specific cell signals.
    The study investigated the effects of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (hBM-MSCs-Ex) on cutaneous wound healing in rats. It was found that hBM-MSCs-Ex effectively promoted the growth of human keratinocytes and human dermal fibroblasts, accelerating wound healing. The mechanism involved the modulation of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, with a down-regulation of TGF-β1, Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4, and an up-regulation of TGF-β3 and Smad7. These findings suggested that hBM-MSCs-Ex could be a promising cell-free therapeutic strategy for treating cutaneous wounds.
