However, there is lack of the facile and robust method to produce clinically applicable implants with this dual function although coatings possessing single function have been extensively developed. Herein, hyperbranched poly-L-lysine (HBPL) polymers were covalently immobilized onto the alkali-heat treated titanium (Ti) substrates and implants by using 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as the coupling agent, which displayed excellent antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli with an efficiency as high as 89.4% and 92.2% in vitro, respectively. The HBPL coating also significantly promoted the adhesion, spreading, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro. Furthermore, the results of a S. aureus infection rat model in vivo ulteriorly verified that the HBPL-modified screws had good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory abilities at an early stage of implantation and better osteointegration compared with the control Ti screws.Transplantation of synovial fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SF-MSCs) is a viable therapy for cartilage degeneration of osteoarthritis (OA). But controlling chondrogenic differentiation of the transplanted SF-MSCs in the joints remains a challenge. Kartogenin (KGN) is a small molecule that has been discovered to induce differentiation of SF-MSCs to chondrocytes both in vitro and in vivo. The clinical application of KGN however is limited by its low water solubility. KGN forms precipitates in the cell, resulting in low effective concentration and thus limiting its chondrogesis-promoting activity. Here we report that targeted delivery of KGN to SF-MSCs by engineered exosomes leads to even dispersion of KGN in the cytosol, increases its effective concentrati
