Abstract
in the context of advanced nanomaterials research, nanogels have recently gained considerable attention for their versatility and promising biomedical applications. To date, a significant number of nanogels have been developed to meet the growing demands in various fields of biomedical research. Summarising preparation methods, physicochemical and biological properties and recent applications of nanogels may be useful to help exploring new directions for their development. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the latest nanogel synthesis methodologies, highlighting advances in formulation with different types of hydrophilic or amphiphilic polymers. It also underlines recent biomedical applications of nanogels in drug delivery and imaging, with a short section dedicated to biosafety considerations of these innovative nanomaterials. In conclusion, this article summarises recent innovations in nanogel synthesis and their numerous applications, highlighting their considerable potential in the biomedical field.
