Injectable hydrogels are a sub-type of hydrogels which can be delivered into the host in a minimally invasive manner. They can act as carriers to encapsulate and deliver cells, drugs or active biomolecules across several disease conditions. Polymers, either synthetic or natural, or even a combination of the two, can be used to create injectable hydrogels.

- * The new product is a sprayable hydrogel made from Alginate, Fibrin, and Polylactic acid microcarriers that encapsulate nanoparticles of calcium, copper, and zinc, promoting various healing stages.
- * In tests against a commercial product, this hydrogel demonstrated better wound healing in a rat model, suggesting its potential as a more effective solution for wound management.
Biomaterial properties, such as surface roughness, morphology, stiffness, conductivity, and chemistry, significantly influence a cell's ability to sense and adhere to its surface and regulate cell functioning. Understanding how biomaterial properties govern changes in cellular function is one of the fundamental goals of tissue engineering. Still, no generalized rule is established to predict cellular processes (adhesion, spreading, growth and differentiation) on biomaterial surfaces.
