Polymeric Nanogels as Versatile Nanoplatforms for Biomedical Applications

الملخص EN

Nanomaterials have found extensive biomedical applications in the past few years because of their small size, low molecular weight, larger surface area, enhanced biological, and chemical reactivity.

Among these nanomaterials, nanogels (NGs) are promising drug delivery systems and are composed of cross-linked polymeric nanoparticles ranging from 100 to 200 nm.

NGs represent an innovative zone of research with speedy developments taking place on a daily basis.

An incredible amount of focus is placed on the fabrication of NGs with novel polymers to achieve better control over the drug release.

This review article covers a number of aspects of NGs including their types, associated pros and cons, and methods of preparation along with technical and economical superiority and therapeutic efficacy over each other.

The last part of review summarizes the applications of NGs in the drug delivery and treatment of various diseases including brain disease, cardiovascular diseases, oxidative stress, diabetes, cancer therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, inflammatory disorders, pain management, ophthalmic and autoimmune diseases, and their future challenges.

NGs appear to be an outstanding nominee for drug delivery systems, and further study is required to explore their interactions at the cellular and molecular levels.
