Hydrogels are versatile biomaterials with high water content and exceptional biocompatibility for biomedical applications.
Natural hydrogels like alginate and gelatin are biodegradable but often lack mechanical strength for some uses.
Synthetic hydrogels allow for precise customization but face challenges related to bioactivity and regulatory approval.
Intelligent hydrogels can respond to biological signals, making them promising for next-generation therapeutics including drug delivery.
