Hydrogels (HGs), as three-dimensional structures, are widely used in modern medicine, including regenerative medicine. The use of HGs in wound treatment and tissue engineering is a rapidly developing sector of medicine. The unique properties of HGs allow researchers to easily modify them to maximize their potential. Herein, we describe the physicochemical properties of HGs, which determine their subsequent applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Examples of chemical modifications of HGs and their applications are described based on the latest scientific reports.
水凝胶(HGs)作为三维结构,在现代医学中得到广泛应用,包括再生医学。HGs 在伤口治疗和组织工程中的应用是医学中一个快速发展的领域。HGs 的独特性质使得研究人员可以轻松地对其进行修饰,以最大限度地发挥其潜力。本文描述了 HGs 的物理化学性质,这些性质决定了它们随后在再生医学和组织工程中的应用。根据最新的科学报道,描述了 HGs 的化学修饰示例及其应用。
