Biopolymer Hydrogels

Biopolymer hydrogels are gel-like materials made from natural polymers such as proteins or sugars. They have a high water content and a soft, flexible structure, similar to living tissues. These hydrogels are biocompatible, meaning they can safely interact with living systems, making them useful in medicine for wound dressings, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Their ability to mimic the body's natural environment allows them to support cell growth and healing, providing a versatile platform for various biomedical applications.
