Hydrogel-based Biomaterials

Hydrogel-based biomaterials are soft, water-rich materials designed to mimic natural tissues. They are composed mainly of water and biocompatible polymers, giving them a jelly-like consistency. These materials can be customized to support tissue growth, deliver drugs, or assist in wound healing. Because they resemble the body's own tissues in flexibility and moisture, hydrogels are valuable in medical applications such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and controlled drug release. Their unique properties enable integration with the body, promoting healing and functional restoration.
