Hydrogel Properties and Their Impact on Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering

Abstract: Hydrogels (HGs), as three-dimensional structures, are widely used in modern medicine, including regenerative medicine. The use of HGs in wound treatment and tissue engineering is a rapidly developing sector of medicine. The unique properties of HGs allow researchers to easily modify them to maximize their potential. Herein, we describe the physicochemical properties of HGs, which determine their subsequent applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Examples of chemical modifications of HGs a… Show more

“…Swelling is a physical process in which a material absorbs liquid, increases in volume and mass while maintaining its shape [ 59 ]. The swelling test results of the matrices based on gelatin, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and glycerol with the microparticle addition are shown in Figure 5 .…”

“…Hydrogels have been widely applied in the surface modification of 3D-printed titanium alloy implants. When hydrogel is used as a drug carrier, it disseminates drug molecules into surrounding tissues or cells through interconnected pores ( Chyzy and Plonska-Brzezinska, 2020 ). For instance, Zhang W et al (2020) developed a poloxamer 407 hydrogel loaded with simvastatin for filling porous 3D-printed titanium alloy intervertebral cages that achieved stable drug release and significantly promoted bone growth.…”

“…[3] The wound healing process generally consists of four phases: hemostasis and coagulation, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. [4] To avoid secondary injury and accelerate wound healing, various dressings including gelatin sponges, Tegaderm TM films, membranes, aerogels, cryogels, modified gauze, bandages, and hydrogels have been designed and developed. [5,6] Traditional wound dressings, DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202101808 such as gauzes and adhesive bandages, could form a physical barrier and absorb exudate while contributing little benefit to the reconstruction of the healing process.…”
