description | Significant developments in cell therapy and biomaterial science have broadened the therapeutic landscape of tissue regeneration. Tissue damage is a complex biological process in which different types of cells play a specific role in repairing damaged tissues and growth factors strictly regulate the activity of these cells. Hydrogels have become promising biomaterials for tissue regeneration if appropriate materials are selected and the hydrogel properties are well-regulated. Importantly, they can be used as carriers for living cells and growth factors due to the high water-holding capacity, high permeability, and good biocompatibility of hydrogels. Cell-loaded hydrogels can play an essential role in treating damaged tissues and open new avenues for cell therapy. There is ample evidence substantiating the ability of hydrogels to facilitate the delivery of cells (stem cell, macrophage, chondrocyte, and osteoblast) and growth factors (bone morphogenetic protein, transforming growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor). This paper reviewed the latest advances in hydrogels loaded with cells or growth factors to promote the reconstruction of tissues. Furthermore, we discussed the shortcomings of the application of hydrogels in tissue engineering to promote their further development. |
