Qr preconditioningHUC-MSCsExos: MSCs-Qr-ExosSD diabetic rats: Full-thickness excision woundMSC-Qr-Exos enhance fibroblast proliferation and migration, enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of MSC-Exos[38]
RAPA preconditioningHUC-MSCssEVs: RAPA-sEVs C57/BL6 diabetic mice: Full-thickness excision woundRAPA-sEVs effectively accelerate wound repair by promoting angiogenesis, reducing M1-type macrophages, and suppressing excessive inflammation with high biosafety[15]
Curcumin preconditioningBMSCsCur-ExosSD diabetic rats: Full-thickness excision woundCur-Exos reduce wound size and promote epithelial migration and collagen deposition[39]
PGZ preconditioningRat BMSCsPGZ-ExosSD diabetic rats: Full-thickness excision woundPGZ-Exos enhance collagen deposition, ECM remodeling, and VEGF and CD31 expression, supporting angiogenesis in diabetic wound healing[35]
EmpagliflozinAd-MSCsEMPA-Exosdb/db mice: Full-thickness excision woundEMPA-Exos promote angiogenesis and accelerate diabetic wound healing by activating the PTEN/AKT/VEGF pathway[36]
Hypo preconditioningHUC-MSCsHypo-sEVsdb/db diabetic mice: Full-thickness excision woundHypo-sEVs promote diabetic wound healing and reduce excessive neutrophil extracellular trap formation by delivering miR-17-5p[40]
Flavonoid preconditioningHuman umbilical cord WJ-MSCsFla-EVsC57/BL6 mice: Full-thickness excision woundFla-EVs show strong anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects in vitro and in vivo[41]
Atorvastatin-preconditioninghBM-MSCsATV-ExosSD rats: Full-thickness excision woundATV-Exos facilitate wound regeneration by promoting blood vessel formation[37]
Blue (455 nm) light illuminationHUC-MSCsBlue light-treated MSC-ExosMale C57BL/6 mice: A skin burn modelMSC-Exos promote in vivo angiogenesis, with enhanced proangiogenic effects under blue light irradiation[42]
Serum- and glucose-deprived preconditioningHUC-MSCsSGD-EVsMale SD rats: Full-thickness excision woundSGD-EVs promote faster skin healing and angiogenesis in wound treatment[43]
