Albumin is derived from blood plasma and is the most abundant protein in blood plasma, which has good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and degradability, so albumin is an ideal biomaterial for biomedical applications, and drug-carriers based on albumin can better reduce the cytotoxicity of drug. Currently, there are numerous reviews summarizing the research progress on drug-loaded albumin molecules or nanoparticles. In comparison, the study of albumin-based hydrogels is a relatively small area of research, and few articles have systematically summarized the research progress of albumin-based hydrogels, especially for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Thus, this review summarizes the functional features and preparation methods of albumin-based hydrogels, different types of albumin-based hydrogels and their applications in antitumor drugs, tissue regeneration engineering, etc. Also, potential directions for future research on albumin-based hydrogels are discussed.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) hydrogels are non-immunogenic, low-cost, biocompatible, and biodegradable. In order to avoid toxic cross-linking agents, gellan was oxidized with NaIO to obtain new functional groups like dialdehydes for protein-based hydrogel cross-linking. The formed dialdehyde groups were highlighted with FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy.

Albumin is an attractive component for the development of biomaterials applied as biomedical implants, including drug carriers and tissue engineering scaffolds, because of its high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Additionally, albumin-based gelators facilitate cross-linking reactions under mild conditions, which maintains the high viability of encapsulated living cells. In this study, we synthesized albumin derivatives to undergo gelation under physiological conditions via the peroxidase-catalyzed formation of cross-links.

The development of autoclavable hydrogels has been driven by the need for materials that can withstand the rigors of sterilization without compromising their properties or functionality. Many conventional hydrogels cannot withstand autoclave treatment owing to the breakdown of their composition or structure under the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of autoclaving. Here, the effect of autoclaving on the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of bovine serum albumin methacryloyl (BSAMA) cryogels at three protein concentrations (3, 5, and 10%) was extensively studied.

Currently, most of the clinically available surgical glues and sealants lack elasticity, good adhesion and biocompatibility properties. Hydrogels as tissue adhesives have received extensive attention for their tissue-mimicking features. Here, a novel surgical glue hydrogel based on a fermentation-derived human albumin (rAlb) and biocompatible crosslinker for tissue-sealant applications has been developed.
