Abstract

In recent years, biopolymer-based in situ-forming hydrogels have emerged as a promising class of materials with diverse applications in the fields of drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the development and practical application of these hydrogels, highlighting their evolution from laboratory research to real-world solutions. This chapter explores the practical applications of biopolymer-based hydrogels, focusing on drug delivery (DD) systems and tissue engineering scaffolds, and their role in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and organ repair. As this chapter progresses, it addresses the challenges and future prospects of translating laboratory innovations into practical solutions. Regulatory considerations, scalability, and commercialization aspects are explored, offering insights into the pathway from research to market. “Biopolymer-Based In-Situ Forming Hydrogels: From Laboratory to Practical Application” serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and professionals seeking to understand the design, development, and implementation of biopolymer-based hydrogels in a range of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. It highlights the exciting potential of these materials to revolutionize healthcare and usher in a new era of personalized medicine.
