Table 1 Cell-free mesenchymal stem cell therapies for skin wound healing
| Cell-free therapies | MSC types | Models | Function | Ref. |
| MSC-Exos | Adipose-derived MSCs | SD rats: Full-thickness excision wound | Promote regular collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and hair follicle mosaicism regeneration | [14] |
| MSC-Exos | HUC-MSCs | C57BL/6 mice: Full-thickness excision wound | Promote wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis and inhibiting endothelial cell ferroptosis | [22] |
| MSC-Exos | UCB-MSCs | SD rats: Full-thickness excision wound | UCB-MSC-Exos accelerate wound closure, reduced scar formation, improved the regeneration of skin appendages, nerves, and vessels | [23] |
| MSC-Exos | HUCMSCs | Female SD rats: A skin burn model | HUC-MSC-Exo-treated wounds accelerated re-epithelialization | [24] |
| MSC-Exos | hBM-MSC-Exos | Female SD rats: Full-thickness excision wound | hBM-MSC-Exos promote the wound healing by inhibiting the transforming growth factor-β/SMAD signaling pathway | [16] |
| MSC-Exos | FDMSCs | BALB/c mice: Full-thickness excision wound | FDMSC Exos promote wound healing by enhancing the adult dermal fibroblast cell motility and secretion ability through Notch signaling pathway | [17] |
| MSC-Exos | DMSCs | 129/SvJ mice: Full-thickness excision wound | DMSC-Exos can promote skin wound healing | [18] |
| MSC-EVs | WJ-MSCs | SD rats: Full-thickness excision wound | Accelerate wound closure, improve epidermal maturation, dermal regeneration, and reduce scarring | [25] |
| MSC-apoSEVs | Adipose-derived mesenchymal/stromal cells | Db/db diabetic mice: Full-thickness excision wound | ApoSEVs facilitate macrophages polarization from M1 to M2, enhance endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation, and stimulate fibroblast proliferation and migration | [26] |
| MSC-ABs | BMSCs | C57BL/6 mice: Full-thickness excision wound | Drive M0 macrophages to differentiate into M2 macrophages, regulating inflammation and angiogenesis to promote wound healing | [19] |
| MSC-ABs | BM-MSCs | Female C57BL/6 mice: Full-thickness excision wound | Promotes skin wound healing by polarizing macrophages to the M2 phenotype and enhancing fibroblast migration and proliferation | [27] |
| CM | HDP-MSCs | Human keratinocyte | HDP-MSC-derived secretome accelerates skin regeneration and modulates inflammatory responses | [20] |
| MSC-CM | HWJSC-CM | Female severe combined immunodeficiency and db/db diabetic model mice: Full-thickness excision wound | HWJSC-CM enhances healing of excisional and diabetic wounds by inducing keratinocyte differentiation and releasing key molecules | [28] |
