Abstract:Hydrogels are three‐dimensional networks swollen with water. They are biocompatible, strong, moldable, and are emerging as a promising biomedical material for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering to deliver therapeutic gene. The excellent natural extracellular matrix simulation properties of hydrogels enable them to be co‐cultured with cells or enhance the expression of viral or non‐viral vectors. Its biocompatibility, high strength and degradation performance also make the action process of carriers i… Show more
