Wound care management urgently needs the development of innovative smart wound dressings. The complexity of the wound often requires the use of personalized medication and the advent of three-dimensional (3D) bio-printing fits strongly with this need. In this view, in the present work a methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) bioink was tested for the fabrication of advanced smart patches as a delivery system of exosomes derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC-EXOs) suitable for wound healing purposes. MeHA patches were realized by 3D bioprinting technique and they were loaded with hMSC-EXOs. The 3D printed MeHA patches revealed improved mechanical performance, appropriate swelling ratio, extended degradation time, and suitable biocompatibility. Furthermore, MeHA patches loaded with hMSC-EXOs improved the proliferation, migration, angiogenic ability, and expression of specific markers related to wound healing process in human fibroblasts and human endothelial cells.

Abstract
Wound care management urgently needs the development of innovative smart wound dressings. The complexity of the wound often requires the use of personalized medication and the advent of three-dimensional (3D) bio-printing fits strongly with this need. In this view, in the present work a methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) bioink was tested for the fabrication of advanced smart patches as a delivery system of exosomes derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC-EXOs) suitable for wound healing purposes. MeHA patches were realized by 3D bioprinting technique and they were loaded with hMSC-EXOs. The 3D printed MeHA patches revealed improved mechanical performance, appropriate swelling ratio, extended degradation time, and suitable biocompatibility. Furthermore, MeHA patches loaded with hMSC-EXOs improved the proliferation, migration, angiogenic ability, and expression of specific markers related to wound healing process in human fibroblasts and human endothelial cells.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
