Hydrogel-based drug delivery
Hydrogel-based drug delivery involves using a gel-like material made mostly of water and biocompatible polymers to deliver medications in a controlled manner. These hydrogels can hold drugs within their structure and release them steadily over time, improving treatment efficiency and reducing side effects. Because they are similar to natural tissue and can respond to environmental signals like temperature or pH, hydrogels are especially useful for targeted therapies, wound healing, and regenerative medicine. This method allows for precise, sustained medication delivery while minimizing the need for frequent dosing or invasive procedures.
