Research progress in preparation and applications in cell therapy of hydrogels / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Hydrogels are hydrophilic three-dimensional networks that exhibit soft and flexible textures after absorbing water, making them biocompatible and biodegradable. Due to their similarity to biological tissues, hydrogels find extensive applications in the field of biomedical mechanism. In this paper, the preparation methods of physical hydrogels and chemical hydrogels are introduced according to the different cross-linking agents, and the application progress of hydrogels in cell therapy is reviewed.
