Abstract

Hydrogel microspheres are important in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, acting as cargos of cells, drugs, growth factors, bio-inks for 3D printing, and medical devices. The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory characteristics of hydrogel microspheres are good for treating injured tissues. However, the biological properties of hydrogel microspheres should be modified for optimal treatment of various body parts with different physiological and biochemical environments. In addition, specific preparation methods are required to produce customized hydrogel microspheres with different shapes and sizes for various clinical applications. Herein, the advances in hydrogel microspheres for biomedical applications are reviewed. Synthesis methods for hydrogel precursor solutions, manufacturing methods, and strategies for enhancing the biological functions of these hydrogel microspheres are described. The involvement of bioactive hydrogel microspheres in tissue repair is also discussed. This review anticipates fostering more insights into the design, production, and application of hydrogel microspheres in biomedicine.
