In recent years, nanovesicles called exosomes have gained increasing attention as a potential wound care solution due to their unique cargo components which enable cell-to-cell communication and regulate various biological processes. Umbilical cord blood plasma (UCBP) exosomes have shown promise in triggering beneficial signaling pathways that aid in cell proliferation and wound healing. However, there is still very limited information about the wound-healing effect of UCBP exosomes in the literature. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the hybrosome technology generated with calf UCBP-derived exosome-liposome combination. Methods: The authors developed hybrosome technology by fusing cord blood exosome membranes with liposomes. Nanovesicle characterization, cell proliferation assay, wound-healing scratch assay, immunohistochemistry analysis, anti-inflammation assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and cellular uptake studies were performed using the novel hybrid exosomes. Results: Experimental results showed that hybrosome increases cell proliferation and migration by 40% to 50%, depending on the dose, and induces an anti-inflammatory effect on different cell lines as well as increased wound healing-related gene expression levels in dermal cells in vitro. All in all, this research widens the scope of wound-healing therapeutics to the novel hybrosome technology. Conclusions: UCBP-based applications have the potential for wound treatments and are promising in the development of novel therapies. This study shows that hybrosomes have outstanding abilities in wound healing using in vitro approaches.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNeuromuscular Electrical-StimulationMuscle StimulationAngiogenesisStrengthArticle537214180WOS:001133595800049N/A10.1093/asjof/ojad039
