Hydrogel-based Drug Delivery Systems

Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems use water-rich, jelly-like materials to host and release medications gradually within the body. These hydrogels are biocompatible and can be designed to respond to specific conditions, such as pH or temperature, enabling targeted and controlled drug release. This approach improves treatment effectiveness, minimizes side effects, and enhances patient comfort by delivering drugs precisely where and when needed, often reducing the frequency of dosing. Hydrogels are versatile platforms used in various medical applications, including wound healing, cancer therapy, and regenerative medicine.
