| Abstract: | Recently, injectable hydrogels have been considered smart materials and have been widely researched for their use as scaffolds. They resemble the extracellular matrix of native tissue and have the capability for homogeneous mixing with therapeutic agents. It can be implanted into living bodies with minimal invasiveness and usability for irregularly shaped sites. Such unique features make the injectable hydrogels as promising materials in tissue engineering, drug delivery system, and gene/protein delivery. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the different mechanisms employed in the preparation of injectable hydrogel, as well as a detailed exploration of its applications in the biomedical field. Furthermore, the article highlights the critical importance of developing injectable hydrogels as market‐viable products, highlighting their potential impact in the field of regenerative medicine.
