Used extensively in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and ability to form hydrogels through photopolymerization. Its crosslinkable nature makes it ideal for creating 3D scaffolds that mimic extracellular matrices. Also employed in biomedical devices, wound dressings, and as a crosslinking agent in controlled release formulations. Additionally, it finds use in 3D printing of biological structures and in the development of bioadhesives and coatings for medical implants.
