Article Synopsis
- Traditional hydrogels often face rapid drug release issues due to hydrolysis under acidic conditions, necessitating improved methods for better drug release control.
- A new dual-network, pH-responsive biopolysaccharide hydrogel has been created that is self-healing, injectable, and biocompatible, allowing for superior tuneability in drug release.
- The study showed that this hydrogel can extend drug release duration by four times compared to simpler versions, with adjustments in sodium alginate content significantly enhancing its release properties.
