Review demonstrates advances in tunable hydrogel biomaterials for tissue engineering, highlighting their therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine.

Key Points

To review the rational design of advanced hydrogels with tunable physicochemical properties and assess their applications and technical challenges in regenerative medicine.
Synthesized literature on engineered hydrogel architectures and functional properties developed over the preceding decade.
Categorized specialized hydrogel classes, including elastomeric, light-sensitive, composite, and shape-memory formulations.
Advanced hydrogels effectively emulate the native extracellular matrix to regulate cell functionality and tissue morphogenesis.
Tunable biomaterial platforms demonstrate utility as three-dimensional tissue engineering matrices, targeted drug-delivery vehicles, and injectable minimally invasive fillers.
