Schematic diagram of hydrogel synthesis and treatment for pancreatic cancer. (a) Hybrid hydrogels were prepared by incorporating NDP and MnO2 into a pre-gel water suspension, which rapidly transitions to a solid gel upon exposure to physiological temperature (37 ℃). (b) The hydrogel suspension was injected into the resection site in an animal model following pancreatic tumor resection, followed by photothermal therapy using an 808 nm laser.
