Hydrogel-based scaffolds remain a prevalent choice for regenerative medical treatments because of their capacities of imitating native extracellular matrices. Hydrogel can be classified into either synthetic or natural origins. The natural hydrogels are certainly cell benevolent as they mimic the natural ...
Multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogels and their medical applications The functionality of multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogels in physiological states is the reason for the increased attention of hydrogels nowadays. Multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogels exhibit tunable changes in swelling or mechanical propert... A ...
soft structure, biocompatibility, low protein adsorption due to low surface tension and similarity to ECM structure, special attraction for various medical applications including tissue
Hydrogels are three-dimensional cross-linked hydrophilic polymers that swell in water and aqueous solutions without dissolving in them. They are very sensitive to environmental stimulus, which is manifested by a sharp phase transition. This feature is important for their application in the pharmaceutical...
As a result, hydrogels prepared from collagen and HA hold inherent advantages in mimicking the structure and function of the native ECM. Numerous studies have focused on the development of collagen and HA hydrogels and their biomedical applications. In this extensive review, we provide a summary ...
in implementation and high specificity in sensing and responding to external pH changes; hence, they have been extensively used as biosensors and drug-delivery carriers. However, their inferiority in terms of the uncontrollable on/off state of actuation must be overcome for practical applications. ...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic environment that constantly provides physical and chemical cues to embedded cells. Much progress has been made in engineering hydrogels that can mimic the ECM, but hydrogel properties are, in general, static. T
of the types and modifications of therapeutic genes, followed by a detailed discussion on the loading of therapeutic genes in hydrogels and their characterization features, a summary of the design of hydrogels for therapeutic gene release, and an overview of their applications in tissue engineering. ...
