ABSTRACT:
Bioactive hydrogels have emerged as paradigm-changing platforms in regenerative medicine, wherein the paradigm has moved from structural, inert scaffolds to dynamic, smart tissue architects. Emulating the extracellular matrix (ECM) and incorporating biochemical, mechanical, and stimuli-responsive signals, these hydrogels actively direct cellular behavior, advance tissue regeneration, and choreograph intricate healing processes. Advances in material chemistry, nanotechnology, and bioprinting have made it possible to design hydrogels with programmed degradation, controlled release of bioactives, and adaptive remodeling functions. These systems are capable of recruiting endogenous stem cells, modulating immune responses, and activating angiogenesis or neurogenesis, providing unprecedented potential in repairing skin, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neural tissues. Translational challenges persist, however, such as scalability, long-term stability, and regulatory approval pathways. This review emphasizes the principles of design, biological processes, and clinical uses of bioactive hydrogels, with a focus on their development as intelligent biomaterials that not only facilitate but also guide the repair of tissue. Lastly, we discuss future directions for combining synthetic biology, bioelectronics, and artificial intelligence in the development of next-generation regenerative platforms for personalized healing.
