Widely used in tissue engineering due to its excellent biocompatibility and tunable mechanical properties. It serves as a scaffold material for regenerating skin, cartilage, and bone tissues. The methacrylation allows it to be photo-crosslinked, enabling precise 3D printing and fabrication of complex structures. Commonly applied in bioinks for additive manufacturing of biological constructs. Also explored in wound healing dressings, where it supports cell adhesion and gradual degradation. Its responsiveness to light makes it suitable for injectable therapies that solidify in situ. Used in drug delivery systems where controlled release is achieved through matrix degradation. Offers advantages in neural regeneration by supporting neurite outgrowth in structured environments.
