This study presents a protocol for fabricating core-sheath 3D-bio-printed scaffolds for chronic wound healing. Extracellular vesicles are isolated from mesenchymal stem cells, and loaded into the core (alginate) with the sheath made from carboxymethyl cellulose and alginate lyase. This design allows controlled scaffold degradation and efficient EVs release.
