Abstract
⺠Development of prodrug-based self-assembled hydrogels as a new class of biomaterials. ⺠Design of prodrugs that can self-assemble to form hydrogels. ⺠These hydrogels overcome limitations such as low-drug loading and burst release of drugs. ⺠Locally injectable self-assembled hydrogels exhibit potential as effective therapeutics.
