Description

Enzyme-Responsive Hydrogel (Protease-Degradable Polymer System) is a smart biomaterial engineered to respond selectively to enzymatic activity. The polymer network incorporates enzyme-cleavable peptide linkers that are degraded in the presence of specific enzymes such as proteases, enabling controlled breakdown of the hydrogel structure.

This selective degradation allows targeted release of encapsulated therapeutics and dynamic remodeling in biologically active environments. The system is particularly valuable in disease-specific contexts where enzyme levels are elevated, such as cancer, inflammation, or tissue repair. The hydrogel properties can be tuned by modifying linker composition, crosslinking density, and polymer architecture.
