摘要

Injectable hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials for various biomedical applications. However, limitations such as weak mechanical properties, limited injectability, and lack of self-healing ability hinder their widespread use. This study developed a novel injectable hydrogel based on oxidized xanthan gum and amino-modified carboxymethyl cellulose to address these challenges. These hydrogels exhibited rapid gelation, tunable mechanical properties, self-healing capabilities, controlled degradation, and excellent biocompatibility by employing dynamic acyl hydrazone bonds. Comprehensive characterization, including FTIR, 1H-NMR, rheological studies, and mechanical testing, confirmed the successful formation of hydrogels with desirable properties. The hydrogels demonstrated rapid gelation times of approximately 5 s and remarkable compressive strengths exceeding 500 kPa. Rheological studies revealed excellent injectability and the ability to maintain solid-state properties under shear deformation. Significantly, the hydrogels exhibited over 90% self-healing capacity, allowing for reshaping and maintaining their defined shape post-injection. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed the biocompatibility and non-toxic nature of hydrogels. They supported cell proliferation and reduced inflammatory responses via subcutaneous injection models on albino mice. These findings underscore the potential of these cellulose-based hydrogels for regenerating various organs in the tissue engineering field.
