Hydrogels are hydrophilic, three-dimensional networks that are able to absorb large
quantities of water or biological fluids, and thus have the potential to be used as prime …

There has been considerable progress in recent years in addressing the clinical and
pharmacological limitations of hydrogels for drug delivery applications but substantial …

Most of the administered anti-cancer drugs are hydrophobic in nature and are known to
have poor water solubility, short residence time, rapid clearance from the body and systemic …

This review focuses on smart nano-materials built of stimuli-responsive (SR) polymers and
will discuss their numerous applications in the biomedical field. The authors will first provide …

Environmentally responsive hydrogels have the ability to turn from solution to gel when a
specific stimulus is applied. Thermoresponsive hydrogels utilize temperature change as the …

Polymers that can respond to external stimuli are of great interest in medicine, especially as
controlled drug release vehicles. In this critical review, we consider the types of stimulus …

The development of smart biomaterials for tissue regeneration has become the focus of
intense research interest. More opportunities are available by the composite approach of …

Abstract 3D bioprinting is an advanced technology combining cells and bioactive molecules
within a single bioscaffold; however, this scaffold cannot change, modify or grow in response …

Aqueous solutions that undergo sol-to-gel transition as the temperature increases have
been extensively studied during the last decade. The material can be designed by …

The low solubility in biological fluids displayed by about 50% of the drugs still remains the
main limitation in oral, parenteral, and transdermal administration. Among the existing …
