Engineered Nestin+ TSPC‐Derived Exosomes Promote Tendon Repair Via Metabolic Reprogramming
Engineered Nestin+ TSPC‐derived exosomes promote tendon repair by reprogramming tenocyte metabolism via the pantothenate‐CoA‐mitochondria axis. They enhance mitochondrial function, reduce senescence and oxidative stress, restoring tendon structure and function in injured and aged models.
