Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disease that afflicts more than 250 million people worldwide, impairing their mobility and quality of life. However, conventional drug therapy is palliative. Exosomes (Exo), although with the potential to fundamentally repair cartilage, face challenges in their efficient enrichment and delivery. In this study, we developed magnetic polysaccharide hydrogel particles as microcarriers for synergistic therapy of OA. The microcarriers were composed of modified natural polysaccharides, hyaluronic acid (HAMA), and chondroitin sulfate (CSMA), and were generated from microfluidic electrospray in combination with a cryogelation process. Magnetic nanoparticles with spiny structures capable of capturing stem cell Exo were encapsulated within the microcarriers together with an anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium (DS). The released DS and Exo from the microcarriers had a synergistic effect in alleviating the OA symptoms and promoting cartilage repair. The in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the excellent performance of the microcarrier for OA treatment. We believe this work has potential for Exo therapy of OA and other related diseases.
