Bile acids have contributed immensely to hydrogel research due to their peculiar
physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. The wide accessibility of bile acids and
their straightforward derivatization methods make them attractive building blocks for the
design of novel hydrogels systems to deliver biomolecules, drugs, and vaccines. This review
conceptualizes recent developments in bile acid-based hydrogels and their applications.
These bile-based hydrogels have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide efficiently and may …
