    Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) affect up to 34% of diabetic patients, leading to severe complications including amputation and high mortality rates.

  • 2

    Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-Exos) offer a promising cell-free therapy for DFUs by enhancing wound healing mechanisms.

  • 3

    ADSC-Exos alleviate oxidative stress, modulate inflammation, promote angiogenesis, and stimulate cell proliferation and migration.

  • 4

    Current DFU treatments are often ineffective, highlighting the urgent need for innovative therapies like ADSC-Exos.

  • 5

    Challenges in ADSC-Exos therapy include cargo variability and a lack of robust human clinical trials, necessitating further research.
