Sensitive groups or structures in stimuli-responsive hydrogel. This schematic summarizes the current responsive designs used in hydrogels for advanced therapies, including ROS-responsive, pH-responsive, and thermo-responsive designs, among others, and it also lists representative groups (e.g., boronic esters used in ROS-responsive designs) and structures (e.g., microbubbles used in ultrasound-responsive designs) used in these respective responsive designs.
