Thermosensitive hydrogels undergo reversible sol-gel phase transitions in response to changes in temperature. Owing to their excellent biocompatibility, mild reaction conditions, and controllable gelation properties, these hydrogels represent a promising class of biomaterials suitable for minimally invasive treatment systems in diverse biomedical applications. This review systematically summarizes the gelation mechanisms of thermosensitive hydrogels and optimization strategies to enhance their performance for broader application requirements. In particular, we highlight recent advances in injectable thermosensitive hydrogels as a carrier within stem cells, bioactive substances, and drug delivery for treating various tissue defects and diseases involving bone, cartilage, and other tissues. Furthermore, we propose challenges and directions for the future development of thermosensitive hydrogels. These insights provide new ideas for researchers to explore novel thermosensitive hydrogels for tissue repair and disease treatment.
热敏水凝胶会随着温度变化发生可逆的溶胶-凝胶相变。由于其具有出色的生物相容性、温和的反应条件以及可控的凝胶化特性,这些水凝胶代表了一类很有前景的生物材料,适用于各种生物医学应用中的微创治疗系统。本综述系统地总结了热敏水凝胶的凝胶化机制以及优化策略,以提高其性能以满足更广泛的应用需求。特别地,我们重点介绍了可注射热敏水凝胶作为干细胞、生物活性物质载体以及用于治疗涉及骨骼、软骨和其他组织的各种组织缺损和疾病的药物递送方面的最新进展。此外,我们提出了热敏水凝胶未来发展面临的挑战和方向。这些见解为研究人员探索用于组织修复和疾病治疗的新型热敏水凝胶提供了新思路。
