Abstract

The regenerative medicine field has led to the development of various biomaterials. One such development is in the form of Hydrogel Scaffold for Tissue regeneration. This review describes the biomedical advances in Hydrogel Scaffolds as emerging biomaterial for regenerative medicine. Their unique ability to mimic the extra cellular environment, biocompatibility, flexible method of synthesis, desirable framework for cellular proliferation and survival has made them the material of choice. Hydrogels have demonstrated features which exemplify many of the broad-based manifestations of tissue engineering, providing realized as well as potential commercial value. Direct incorporation of cells and growth factors has led to efficient and more promising results in regenerative medicine. This review gives an overview of the various kinds of hydrogels, fabrication methods with specific features and few of the recent applications of hydrogels in the field of regenerative medicine.
