Area of Science:

Biomaterials Science
Regenerative Medicine
Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

Gelatin offers excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making it suitable for cell, drug, and gene delivery.
It is less immunogenic than collagen and retains cell-interactive sequences like RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp), promoting cell adhesion and proliferation.
Gelatin's mechanical strength and bioactivity can be modified through chemical and physical methods, yielding versatile derivatives.

Conclusions:

Gelatin and its derivatives are highly promising biomaterials for advanced drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Further research into modifying gelatin properties can unlock new therapeutic applications.
Gelatin-based scaffolds represent a key area for future regenerative medicine strategies.
