Gene Therapy for Inflammatory Cascade in Intrauterine Injury with Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Hybrid Snail Mucus‐enhanced Adhesive Hydrogels by Xiaotong Peng, Tao Wang, Bo Dai, Yiping Zhu, Mei Ji, Pusheng Yang, Jiaxin Zhang, Wenwen Liu, Yaxin Miao, Yonghang Liu, Shuo Wang, Jing Sun

“…Upon injection of FA‐EVs hybrid GS 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 generation through inhibiting STAT1 phosphorylation, resulting in reduction of myofibroblasts activation and collagen deposition. In addition, the pregnancy rate and the number of fetuses in rats treated with this hydrogel were much higher than those in other groups, suggesting that the hydrogel could promote functional endometrial regeneration and restore fertility. …”
