Gene Therapy for Inflammatory Cascade in Intrauterine Injury with Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Hybrid Snail Mucus‐enhanced Adhesive Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 9, 2025.
This study develops a snail mucus‐inspired adhesive hydrogel of siRNA@FA‐EVs/GS for IUA prevention. Upon injection of this hydrogel into the uterine cavity, a protective hydrogel layer forms on the surface of injury sites and sustains the release of STAT1‐siRNA‐loaded FA‐EVs to curtail M1 macrophages polarization through inhibiting STAT1 ...
