“…Up to now, different hydrogels from both synthetic and natural hydrogels have been developed in various applications, such as tissue engineering, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and stem cell and cancer research[ 31 , 32 ]. Synthetic hydrogels, such as poly(vinyl alcohol), polyacrylamide (PAM), and PEG, generally possess precise controllable performance and show high mechanical properties, but lack biological moieties[ 33 - 35 ]. On the other hand, natural hydrogels, such as chitosan, collagen, alginate, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid (HA), have received wide attention due to their bioactive properties.…”
