Injectable biodegradable hydrogels: progress and challenges
Abstract
Over the past decades, injectable hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials because of their biocompatibility, excellent permeability, minimal invasion, and easy integration into surgical procedures. These systems provide an effective and convenient way to administer a wide variety of bioactive agents such as proteins, genes, and even living cells. Additionally, they can be designed to be degradable and eventually cleared from the body after completing their missions. Given their unique characteristics, injectable biodegradable hydrogels have been actively explored as drug reservoir systems for sustained release of bioactive agents and temporary extracellular matrices for tissue engineering. This review provides an overview of state-of-the-art strategies towards constructing a rational design of injectable biodegradable hydrogels for protein drug delivery and tissue engineering. We also discuss the use of injectable hydrogels for gene delivery systems and biomedical adhesives.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
