Introduction into Hydrogel Toxicity Measurement
Hydrogels are versatile materials widely used in various fields, including biomedical applications, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. However, understanding the potential toxicity of hydrogels is crucial to ensure their safe and effective use. Hydrogel toxicity measurement involves evaluating the adverse effects of these materials on living organisms, ranging from cells in vitro to animal models in vivo.

Toxicity assessment encompasses several aspects, such as cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory response, and organ function. Various techniques are employed to evaluate hydrogel toxicity, including cytotoxicity assays, such as MTT and LDH assays, and assessments of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, genotoxicity, and immunological responses. Additionally, animal models are utilized to study the systemic toxicity and biocompatibility of hydrogels. Comprehensive toxicity measurement enables the identification of potential hazards associated with hydrogel exposure, guiding the development of safer and more biocompatible materials for diverse applications.
