    Summary

    Hydrogels offer a promising solution for stem cell therapy, improving cell survival and differentiation while minimizing immune rejection and tumor formation for degenerative diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Stem Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Stem cell therapy holds potential for treating degenerative diseases but faces challenges like poor cell survival, uncontrolled differentiation, immune responses, and teratoma risk.
    • Current limitations hinder the clinical translation of stem cell transplantation for effective cell replacement therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the use of hydrogels as carriers for stem cell delivery.
    • To explore how hydrogels can overcome current limitations in stem cell therapy, focusing on in situ gelling systems.
    • To discuss strategies for modulating immune responses and promoting controlled stem cell differentiation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on hydrogel applications in stem cell delivery.
