Over the years, electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) have been extensively applied for stimulating nerve regeneration and restoring locomotor function after peripheral injury (PNI) with diabetes, given their favorable mechanical electrical properties identical to endogenous tissue. Nevertheless, PNI causes loss of inflammatory pain, especially in diabetic patients. It has established that bone marrow stem cells-derived exosomes (BMSCs-Exos) analgesic, anti-inflammatory tissue properties. Herein, we designed an ECH loaded BMSCs-Exos (ECH-Exos) dressing treat achieve functional recovery pain relief. Given its potent adhesive self-healing properties, this laminar is convenient treatment damaged fibers by automatically wrapping around them form a size-matched tube-like structure, avoiding cumbersome implantation process. Our vitro studies showed ECH-Exos could facilitate attachment migration Schwann cells. Meanwhile, Exos system modulate M2 macrophage polarization via NF-κB pathway, thereby attenuating PNI. Additionally, enhanced myelinated axonal MEK/ERK pathway vivo, consequently ameliorating muscle denervation atrophy further promoting restoration. findings suggest huge prospects regeneration, restoration relief patients

The treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) remains unsatisfactory owing to the complex pathophysiological microenvironments at site and limited regenerative potential central nervous system. Metformin has been proven in clinical animal experiments repair damaged structures functions by promoting endogenous neurogenesis. However, early stage acute SCI, adverse microenvironment sites, such as reactive oxygen species inflammatory factor storm, can prevent activation neural stem cells (NSCs) differentiation NSCs into neurons, decreasing whole effect. To address those issues, a series robust multifunctional natural polyphenol-metformin nanoparticles (polyphenol-Met NPs) were fabricated with pH-responsiveness excellent antioxidative capacities. resulting NPs possessed several favorable advantages: First, composed active ingredients different biological properties, without need for carriers; second, feature could allow targeted drug delivery injured site; more importantly, enabled drugs performances exhibit strong synergistic effects. results demonstrated that improved polyphenols boosted activated neurons oligodendrocytes, which efficiently nerve enhance functional recovery SCI rats.
