Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) in combination with hydrogels (gelatin (Gel)) have shown significant potential in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This study highlights their significant potential and explores their transformative role in biomedicine. By integrating Gel with CNMs, unique synergistic properties combine mechanical, biocompatibility, and biodegradability properties with the exceptional characteristics of nanomaterials, including high surface area, mechanical strength, and functionalization capabilities. These advanced nanocomposites exhibit remarkable potential across diverse biomedical applications such as cancer therapy, bioprinting applications, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, wound healing, antimicrobial activity, and bio-packaging. Overall, Gel-integrated CNMs represent a new class of materials with significant promise in advancing biosensing technologies and biomedical performance. Their unique combination of properties opens up new opportunities for the development of next-generation healthcare technologies, improved diagnostics, therapies, and medical devices with enhanced performance and functionality. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
