Self‐Healable Hydrogels: Self‐Healing Hydrogels: The Next Paradigm Shift in Tissue Engineering? (Adv. Sci. 16/2019)

The inherent ability of native tissues to regenerate on demand has sparked enormous motivation to develop tissue engineering hydrogels with similar self‐repair mechanisms. However, self‐healable hydrogels still face several shortcomings, which limit their specific application for the replacement of...

Sumario:The inherent ability of native tissues to regenerate on demand has sparked enormous motivation to develop tissue engineering hydrogels with similar self‐repair mechanisms. However, self‐healable hydrogels still face several shortcomings, which limit their specific application for the replacement of electrically active and elastic tissues. In article number 1801664, Alireza Dolatshahi‐Pirouz and co‐workers discuss advances in this field with a special focus on application of these hydrogels in cyborganics, bioelectronics, and bioactuators.
