This review details how hydrogel composites play crucial roles in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, highlighting innovations in these applications and addressing challenges like bioactivity, biomechanical compatibility, and controlled drug release.

This study found that tyramine-linked hyaluronan gel effectively supports the 3-D culture of ovarian follicles, facilitating the maturation of functional metaphase II oocytes that can develop into blastocysts.

This study found that a hydrogel containing icariin enhanced wound healing and hair-follicle regeneration in vivo by promoting M2 macrophage polarization and modulating the BMP pathway, with treated skin defects showing improved recovery and new hair follicle development compared to untreated defects.

This study found that a polyherbal gel made from guava leaves, amla, and aloe is effective against candidiasis on the skin, with additional benefits of nourishing hair and preventing premature graying.

This study developed an all-natural hydrogel that promotes diabetic wound healing by converting pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages in a simple and biosafe manner.

This study describes the development of a minoxidil gel using the copolymer Sepineo P 600, showing improved spreadability, occlusivity, adhesiveness, and stability compared to minoxidil lotion, without causing skin corrosion, making it a potentially more effective treatment form for alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers developed a pH-sensitive dendritic polyglycerol nanogel to measure pH inside hair follicles using an ex vivo porcine ear model, finding that the pH increases from 6.5 at the skin surface to 7.4 in deeper follicle areas, without observed toxicity.

This study developed a bioresponsive hydrogel combining basic fibroblast growth factor and N-acetylcysteine, which significantly improved diabetic wound healing by enhancing re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, hair follicle regeneration, and neovascularization in response to oxidative stress.

This study found that a multifunctional hydrogel dressing enriched with Cu-MOF and tannic acid significantly improved full-thickness wound healing in rats, reducing the wound area to only 1.6% and promoting re-epithelialization, neovascularization, and hair follicle formation.

This study reported that hydrogels created from keratins extracted from human hair exhibit antibacterial properties and enhance tissue regeneration, suggesting their potential use in full-thickness skin repair, as demonstrated by increased collagen production and improved healing in vivo.

This study designed fibronectin nanogel microneedles, reporting their potential to enhance tissue repair by improving collagen organization, reducing inflammation, and promoting angiogenesis in both photoaged and diabetic wound models.

This study found that incorporating Canavalia ensiformis lectin into alginate and carboxymethylcellulose films enhanced angiogenic factor expression, suggesting these biopolymer films could be an effective alternative for wound treatment.

This study demonstrated that the IVL-DrugFluidic® platform is effective for mass-producing finasteride-loaded polymeric microspheres for long-acting injectables, maintaining stable drug release without an initial burst for a month.

This study found that topical gel formulations containing extracts of Eclipta alba and Lippia nodiflora significantly increased hair growth in black mice over 30 days, with a combination of both extracts showing greater effectiveness than either alone.

This study found that a finasteride topical gel formulation using propylene glycol and Tween® 80 showed significantly enhanced permeation compared to a control formulation without these enhancers.

In this study, a silk-inspired hydrogel system was developed that combines photodynamic therapy and wound healing, which may significantly reduce melanoma recurrence and enhance healing of infected wounds.

In this study, cetirizine hydrochloride was formulated into niosomal and cubosomal gels, showing potential for off-label use in treating androgenic alopecia due to effective skin permeation and acceptable safety profiles; cubosomal gels exhibited superior permeation compared to niosomal gels.

This study developed a novel hydrogel combining Chlorella extracellular polysaccharide–selenium nanoparticles (EPS-SeNPs) with biocompatible components, which demonstrated strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, significantly accelerating wound healing in an infected rat model, and enabling pH-based monitoring of healing.

This study suggests that human hair keratin-based gradient hydrogels incorporating silver ions may serve as promising dermal templates for wound healing, demonstrating favorable mechanical properties, cell interaction, and antibacterial activity.

This study found that varying the concentration of propylene glycol in rice water shampoo gel affects physical properties such as viscosity and foam height, without impacting organoleptic qualities or pH stability.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.

This study found that biomimetic peptides may enhance the expression of growth factors in the hair follicles of patients experiencing telogen effluvium.

This study presents a novel hydrogel scaffold made from tilapia collagen, which when activated by ultrasound, reprograms macrophages to promote wound healing, enhance angiogenesis, and stimulate hair follicle regeneration, offering a potential new method for treating inflammatory wounds.

This study found that combining ultrasound with a GelMA hydrogel able to deliver mesenchymal stem cell-derived vesicles significantly improved wound healing in a mouse model by enhancing fibroblast activity, promoting re-epithelialization, and facilitating hair follicle regeneration, highlighting a novel approach to skin regeneration therapy.

This study found that a newly constructed composite hydrogel dressing, made from silk fibroin, chitosan, and halloysite, promoted hair follicle neogenesis, angiogenesis tissue regeneration, and scar reduction.

The researchers formulated a polyherbal hair gel using extracts from guava leaves, amla, and aloe, and reported its effectiveness against candidiasis, as well as its benefits in nourishing hair and preventing premature graying.

This study found that GelMA/HAMA bioink shows promise for 3D printing skin equivalents, as it effectively mimics the native skin's properties and supports hair follicle structure development.

In a study using a mouse model of diabetes, chitosan-based hydrogels increased healing markers and improved wound closure and tissue repair compared to untreated wounds, but human efficacy needs further validation.

This study introduced fibronectin nanogel microneedles (FNG MNs) that demonstrated improved tissue penetration and transdermal delivery, restoring skin homeostasis in a photoaged mouse model and enhancing collagen deposition and angiogenesis in a diabetic wound rat model.
