What is Hyaluronic Acid Nanogel?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in human connective tissues, skin, and synovial fluid. Due to its excellent water retention, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, it has broad applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and bioengineering. Nanogels are nanoscale hydrogels constructed from polymer networks, featuring a large surface area, excellent controlled release properties, and good solubility, making them efficient drug delivery systems. HA-based micro-nanogels combine the bioactivity of HA with the smart-responsive features of nanogels, making them especially suitable for applications in skin repair, joint treatment, anti-aging, targeted drug delivery, and tissue regeneration in the biomedical field. The advantages of HA-based nanogels lie in their high biocompatibility and biodegradability, allowing for long-term use in the body with safe metabolic products. Their outstanding water retention and lubrication properties enhance effectiveness in skincare and tissue engineering. Additionally, HA-based nanogels can efficiently load proteins, peptides, small molecule drugs, and gene therapy drugs, achieving precise therapeutic effects by adjusting the release rate.

FAQs
What is nanogel?
Nanogel is a nanoscale network structure composed of polymeric materials, typically ranging from 1 to 1000 nanometers in diameter. It exhibits high hydration and hydrophilicity, forming a stable three-dimensional network in aqueous solutions. Nanogels are widely used in drug delivery, gene transfer, tissue engineering, and other fields, capable of loading drugs or biomolecules for controlled release.
What are the advantages of nanogels?
Nanogels offer several advantages. First, their nanoscale enables them to cross cell membranes and tissue barriers for targeted delivery. Second, their high hydration provides good biocompatibility in the body. Finally, nanogels can control drug release rates by adjusting their physicochemical properties (such as particle size, surface charge), offering excellent sustained release performance.
What is the difference between hydrogel and Nanogel?
While both hydrogels and nanogels are composed of hydrated polymers, they differ in size and properties. Hydrogels are typically micron-scale three-dimensional networks, whereas nanogels are nanoscale (1-1000 nanometers). Due to their smaller size and larger surface area, nanogels can better penetrate biological barriers and provide more precise drug delivery and controlled release capabilities.
