Sonika A. Nalawade*, Manisha B. Parhad, Dr. Gajanan S. Sanap
ABSTRACT
Hydrogels are cross-linked structures made of hydrophilic polymers that swell with water. By forming cross-links and linking them with ionic or covalent bonds, they become three-dimensional. Due to their exceptional qualities, which include high mechanical integrity, biodegradability, compatibility with other biological molecules, high swelling capacity, high water content, and controlled chemical and physical properties, hydrogels have been used in a variety of fields, including industry and medicine. Their potential for use in various industries and fields has drawn the attention of researchers during the last fifty years. They are utilized in many different domains, including medical, illness diagnosis, cell culture, wound healing, cosmetics, and also used in treatment of Cancer therapy. Hybrid hydrogels that are injectable, self-care, and pH-responsive show great potential as Keywords: Injectable Hydrogel, Drug delivery, Localized Chemotherapy, Peptide self-assembly, local cancer treatment, Breast cancer, lungs cancer, brain cancer.
