Abstract
In the field of wound healing, the demand for treatment of large size and deep incurable wounds has been increasing day by day. Large, deformed, deep or full-thickness wounds cannot heal themselves by our cell system or tissue repair mechanism and results in infection and deformity. As well as the dressing or drugs used for the treatment of wounds results in poor healing, scar tissue and even death of an individual. Therefore, hydrogel as a 3D polymeric matrix having a wide range of properties for soft, sensible to hard and tough tissue or organ is used to heal and seal the loss part. There are lots of advanced, smart and intelligent hydrogel consist of natural and synthetic polymers designed for proper encapsulation and controlled release of drugs or biomolecules under specific physiological conditions. Thus, the hydrogel is used as one of the potent matrices for the regeneration of tissue and drug testing.
