Scheme 2

Schematic illustration (Created with BioRender.com). Fabrication of HMPs and HMPs@Exos by microfluidics. Following intra-articular injection in a murine DMM model, the HMPs-Exos progressively degrade in the inflammatory environment, leading to gradually release of Exos. Exos are subsequently endocytosed by chondrocytes. ADAMTS4 expression is inhibited by over-expression of miR-99a-3b, promoting the repair of osteoarthritis. miR-99a-3p: microRNA-99 b-3p; ADAMTS4: ADAM Metallopeptidase with Thrombospondin Type 1 Motif 4; ACAN: aggrecan; COMP: cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein.
