Injectable hydrogels for targeted delivering of therapeutic molecules for tissue engineering and disease treatment

Abstract: Hydrogels are cross-linked three-dimensional polymeric networks that play a vital role in solving the pharmacological and clinical limitations of the existing systems due to their unique physical properties such as affinity for biological fluids, tunable porous nature, high water content, ease of preparation, flexibility, and biocompatibility. Hydrogel also mimics the living natural tissue, which opens several opportunities for its use in biomedical areas. Injectable hydrogel allows temporal control and except… Show more

“…Slow gel formation results in poor adaptation and network formation, altering the cell encapsulation as the therapeutics may flow away from the targeted site. Furthermore, fast gel formation makes it difficult to inject in the targeted site [ 74 , 75 ].…”

“…The major compelling advantages of injectable hydrogels are the involvement of a minimally invasive technique and the ability to bypass first-pass metabolism. 229 The injectable and self-healing anesthetic Oleogel, derived from glycolipid, was developed, which showed better antibiofilm and wound closure performance in a diabetic rat wound model. 230 Additionally, a composite gel was also prepared by encapsulating curcumin in Oleogel.…”
