Abstract Background A spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in severe impairment and fatality as well as significant motor and sensory abnormalities. Exosomes produced from IPSCs have demonstrated therapeutic promise for accelerating spinal cord injury recovery, according to a recent study. Objective This study aims to develop engineered IPSCs-derived exosomes (iPSCs-Exo) capable of targeting and supporting neurons, and to assess their therapeutic potential in accelerating recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods iPSCs-Exo were characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), and western blot. To enhance neuronal targeting, iPSCs-Exo were bioengineered, and their uptake by neurons was visualized using PKH26 labeling and fluorescence microscopy. In vitro, the anti-inflammatory effects of miRNA-loaded engineered iPSCs-Exo were evaluated by exposing neurons to LPS and IFN-γ. In vivo, biodistribution of engineered iPSC-Exo was monitored using a vivo imaging system. The therapeutic efficacy of miRNA-loaded eng
