Potentials of Hydrogel in Tissue Engineering: An Overview
Main Article Content
Abstract
Over the years, the demand for tissue and organs has grown due to accidents and other disease conditions.
Tissue repair and restoration are vital for maintaining the body’s integrity. However, the biggest challenge in
tissue damage and repair has been finding an alternative cell/tissue for damage repair. Tissue engineering has
proven successful in this field. Its primary objective lies in the creation of synthetic alternatives that bear close
resemblance to natural tissues. Today, tissue regeneration from synthetic alternatives is successfully considered
for treating several types of tissue damage and repair, including chronic kidney disease. This paper aims to give an
overview of tissue engineering, emphasising hydrogel as a potential biomaterial for tissue engineering.
