| Summary: | Background:. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of plant-derived exosome injections on the healing of skin wounds.
Methods:. A total of 18 Wistar Albino rats were included and randomly allocated into 2 groups. The first group underwent a scalpel incision on the ventral hand surface without any additional treatment. The second group received an identical incision, followed by injections of plant-based exosomes at the wound site. Tissue samples were collected at baseline, as well as on days 7 and 14, for histological assessment of wound healing. Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome staining were used to evaluate epithelial thickness, collagen deposition, and inflammatory cell infiltration.
Results:. The group receiving exosome injections exhibited a significantly enhanced wound healing response compared with the control group. Histological analysis revealed an increase in epithelial thickness, reduced inflammatory cell count, and greater collagen deposition with a more organized structural arrangement, indicating accelerated tissue repair. By day 14, wounds treated with exosomes demonstrated a well-formed epithelium and a substantial reduction in inflammation, highlighting the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosomes in modulating wound healing dynamics.
Conclusions:. The administration of plant-based exosomes into skin wounds resulted in a notable improvement in the healing process. These findings suggest that exosome therapy may enhance tissue regeneration and expedite recovery, making it a promising approach for optimizing wound management and repair. Further research is warranted to explore its broader clinical applications. |
