Skin wound is always accompanied with nerve damage, leading to significant sensory function loss. Currently, the functional matrix material based stem cell transplantation and in situ nerve regeneration are thought to be effective strategies, of which, how to recruit stem cells, retard senescence, and promote neural differentiation has been obstacle to be overcome. However, the therapeutic efficiency of the reported systems has yet to be improved and side effect reduced. Herein, a conduit matrix with three-dimensional ordered porous structures, regular porosity, appropriate mechanical strength, and conductive features was prepared by orienting the freezing technique, which was further filled with neural-directing exosomes to form a neural-stimulating matrix for providing hybrid physical-biochemical stimulations. This neural-stimulating matrix was then compacted with methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel thin coat that loaded with chemokines and anti-senescence drugs, forming a multi-functional artificial niche (termed as GCr-CSL) that promotes MSCs recruitment, anti-senescence, and neural differentiation. GCr-CSL was shown to rapidly enhances in situ nerve regeneration in skin wound therapy, and with great potential in promoting sensory function recovery. This study demonstrates proof-of-concept in building a biomimetic niche to organize endogenous MSCs recruitment, differentiation, and functionalization for fast neurological and sensory recovery.
