Recently emerging advancements in polymeric cryogel nanostructures and biomedical applications

Abstract

Cryogels are interlinked macroporous substrates or materials which have undergone processing from a monomeric solution below zero temperatures. Due to their exceptional features including biocompatibility, sensitivity, and physical inhibition, cryogels appear as injectable gels, powders, column, monolithic, beads, spheres, and membrane forms and are utilized in biomedical applications. Therefore, this paper elucidates recently emerging trends in cryogels structures for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications including drug delivery, cell transplantation, tissue engineering, therapeutic, immunotherapy, cell transplantation, and so on.
