November 2024 in “Bioactive Materials” This study developed bifunctional hydrogel inks to promote M2 macrophage polarization and exosome cultivation for wound healing. The researchers created polyamine-modified 3D printable hydrogels to enhance M2-exosome secretion, which were then encapsulated in a biocompatible collagen/decellularized extracellular matrix bioink. The 3D-printed hydrogels promoted M2 macrophage polarization through JAK/STAT and PPAR signaling pathways and facilitated M2-Exo secretion. The bioink was biocompatible with skin cells and, when co-cultured with various cell types, upregulated skin-associated biomarkers and downregulated the MAPK signaling pathway. In a subcutaneous wound model, the hydrogel demonstrated effective wound remodeling and hair follicle induction while reducing pro-inflammatory activation, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for skin disorders.
