Hydrogels are the most relevant biochemical scaffold due to their tunable properties,
inherent biocompatibility, and similarity with tissue and cell environments. Over the past …

This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and
proteins as functional stimuli‐responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with …

An acid-resistant DNA hydrogel that is stable in an extremely acidic environment with pH as
low as 1.2 has not been reported before, largely due to the instability of DNA-hybridized …

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a promising synthesizer for precisely constructing almost
arbitrary geometry in two and three dimensions. Among various DNA-based soft materials …

Absorbent polymers or hydrogel polymer materials have an enhanced water retention
capacity and are widely used in agriculture and medicine. The controlled release of …

New trends in biomedical applications of the hybrid polymeric hydrogels, obtained by
combining natural polymers with synthetic ones, have been reviewed …

Shape-changing hydrogels that can bend, twist, or actuate in response to external stimuli
are critical to soft robots, programmable matter, and smart medicine. Shape change in …

Hydrogels, which are hydrophilic soft porous networks, are an important class of materials of
broad relevance to bioanalytical chemistry, soft‐robotics, drug delivery, and regenerative …

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) stores genetic information as a biomolecule, and also is
regarded as a block copolymer and polyanion. Under favorable environments, DNA …

Hydrogels are crosslinked hydrophilic polymers that can absorb a large amount of water. By
their hydrophilic, biocompatible and highly tunable nature, hydrogels can be tailored for …
