Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells overexpressing Nrf2 accelerate cutaneous wound healing by promoting vascularization in a diabetic foot ulcer rat model

Diabetes: Rescue sacs for foot ulcers Tiny membrane-bound sacs released by some stem cells carry chemicals that can heal the foot ulcers that are a major complication of diabetes. The sacs, called exosomes, are released by many cells for signaling between cells and other functions. Xue Li of Tongji...
