Microneedles combining delivery of hUMSC-derived exosomes and EGCG mitigate UV-induced skin damage

Abstract Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation compromises both the aesthetic and functional properties of the skin, accelerates aging, increases the risk of skin cancer, and significantly impairs quality of life. Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSC-Exo) and nat...
