Stem cell secretome-rich nanoclay hydrogel: a dual action therapy for cardiovascular regeneration.

ABSTRACT: A nanocomposite hydrogel with photocrosslinkable micro-porous networks and a nanoclay component was successfully prepared to control the release of growth factor-rich stem cell secretome. The proven pro-angiogenic and cardioprotective potential of this new bioactive system provides a valuable therapeutic platform for cardiac tissue repair and regeneration.
