Injectable Functional Polymeric Cryogels for Biological Applications
(2025) In Biomedical Materials and Devices 3(1). p.288-298- Abstract
In recent years, injectable cryogels have been frequently used in various biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, therapeutics, therapy, cell transplantation and immunotherapy. Cryogels, one of the biomaterials with injectable 3D scaffold structures, have important properties such as biocompatibility, physical resistance, macropore and sensitivity. In addition to being biocompatible, cryogels, consisting of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with physicochemical properties such as elasticity, hardness and biological degradation, provide a structural support environment for tissue development along with cell attachment. In addition, injectable cryogels can be loaded with therapeutic agents or cells in tissue... (More)
In recent years, injectable cryogels have been frequently used in various biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, therapeutics, therapy, cell transplantation and immunotherapy. Cryogels, one of the biomaterials with injectable 3D scaffold structures, have important properties such as biocompatibility, physical resistance, macropore and sensitivity. In addition to being biocompatible, cryogels, consisting of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with physicochemical properties such as elasticity, hardness and biological degradation, provide a structural support environment for tissue development along with cell attachment. In addition, injectable cryogels can be loaded with therapeutic agents or cells in tissue engineering and clinical studies. The purpose of this review is to explain the physical and chemical properties of injectable cryogels consisting of three-dimensional scaffolding, after explaining the properties and synthesis stages of cryogels, and it is thought to be a guide to make their use in different areas more widespread for future studies.
