Competing interests The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Authors’ contributions ZD, YW, and CZ conceived the study, designed the experiments, and provided their funds to the study. GH and QL participated in the experiments of iPSC culture, differentiation; iMSCs identification and expansion; iMSCs-Exo isolation and identification; as well as draft and final approval of the manuscript. XN and BH were responsible for animal handling and surgery and for limb function analysis. SG and SZ contributed to HUVEC isolation and expansion; HUVEC migration, proliferation, and tube formation experiments; and molecular genetic studies. HL taken all images from iPSC differentiation, HUVEC migration, proliferation, and tube formation experiments and in vivo immunohistochemistry and performed statistical analysis of all experimental data. JL contributed to experiments in article revision. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
