Abstract in brief

  • Hydrogels are water-absorbing, three-dimensional networks that are highly suitable for biomedical uses such as biosensors, drug delivery, and tissue engineering due to their ability to hold large amounts of biological fluids.
  • Their properties are influenced by their chemical composition, allowing them to respond to stimuli like temperature, pH, light, and chemicals, with detailed mechanisms such as swelling and gelation explained.
  • The review also covers natural and synthetic hydrogels, highlighting their structure, mechanisms, and applications in cell culture, self-healing, and targeted drug delivery in the biomedical field.
