“…Another attractive feature already known from hydrogels is the stimuli-responsive behavior of cryogels, which can be initiated by an external physical or chemical trigger such as biological stimuli (e.g., antigens, ligands, enzymes, or small-molecule concentrations such as glucose, nucleic acids), changes in the environment (pH, ionic strength, or molecular species), or physical signals such as temperature, pressure, light, electric, or magnetic fields [ 94 , 95 , 96 ]. Bond cleavage, bond formation, swelling/deswelling, and conformational changes are common responses of such gels.…”
