Abstract Wound dressing with the capacities of antioxidation, antiinflammation, and efficient angiogenesis induction is expected for effectively promoting wound healing. Herein, a novel core‐shell hyaluronic acid (HA) microneedle (MN) patch with ferrum‐mesenchymal stem cell‐derived artificial nanovesicles (Fe‐MSC‐NVs) and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) encapsulated in the needle tips is presented for wound healing. Fe‐MSC‐NVs containing multifunctional therapeutic cytokines are encapsulated in the inner HA core of the MN tips for accelerating angiogenesis. The PDA NPs are encapsulated in the outer methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) shell of the MN tips to overcome the adverse impacts from reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐derived oxidative stress. With the gradual degradation of HAMA patch tips in the skin, the PDA NPs are sustainably released at the lesion to suppress the ROS‐induced inflammation reaction, while the Fe‐MSC‐NVs significantly increase the migration, proliferation, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). More attractively, the combination of PDA NPs and Fe‐MSC‐NVs further promotes M2 macrophage polarization, thereby suppressing wound inflammation. Through in vivo experiment, the Fe‐MSC‐NVs/PDA MN patch shows an excellent effect for diabetic wound healing. These features of antioxidation, antiinflammation, and pro‐angiogenesis indicate the proposed composite core‐shell MN patch is valuable for clinical wound healing applications.
