Hydrogels have been used in the clinic since the late 1980s with broad applications in drug delivery, cosmetics, tissue regeneration, among many other areas. The past three decades have witnessed rapid advances in the fields of polymer chemistry, crosslinking approaches, and hydrogel fabrication methods, which have collectively brought many new hydrogel products, either injectable or non-injectable, to clinical studies. In an article published in 2020 entitled "Hydrogels in the clinic", we reviewed the clinical landscape and translational challenges of injectable hydrogels.

Article Synopsis
- The tumor microenvironment (TME) inhibits the immune system from effectively combating cancer, leading to limited effectiveness of current treatments.
- Combining therapies like immunotherapy and phototherapy aims to overcome this immunosuppressive environment, enhancing the immune response against tumors.
- Phototherapy works by inducing tumor cell death and can be paired with immunotherapy to improve overall anti-tumor effects and activate systemic immune responses.
