Job Description
Research brief:
This study proposes a novel tissue engineering strategy integrating exosomes, decellularized cartilage powder, and photo-crosslinked hydrogel to enhance cartilage repair. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes, with low immunogenicity and high safety, are employed to induce stem cell migration and promote hyaline cartilage formation. Meanwhile, the injectability and supportive microenvironment of the composite scaffold ensure its clinical feasibility and effectiveness.
