Abstract
The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is rapidly advancing, with numerous novel and intriguing biomimetic materials being reported. Hydrogels, due to their unique structure and properties closely resembling biological tissues, stand as prime candidates for mimicking natural tissues in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. In recent years, drawing inspiration from the intricate structures found in biological soft tissues, researchers have successfully created a range of biomimetic hydrogels. These hydrogels have been tailored for diverse applications in fields such as biomedicine, tissue engineering, flexible electronic devices, and beyond. However, designing and fabricating biomimetic synthetic materials with intricate structures, dynamic microenvironment systems, and integrated functionalities remains challenging. This article presents the latest research progress in macroscopic structural biomimetic hydrogels, as well as microenvironment biomimetic hydrogels, along with the most recent construction strategies, key design principles, and optimization mechanisms. It summarizes their potential applications in various domains such as tissue repair, signal detection and sensing, drug delivery, and more. Lastly, the challenges and future development directions in the preparation and application of biomimetic hydrogels are outlined.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
