title = "Gelatin Based Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery Applications",
abstract = "Gelatin is one of the most popular natural polymers which is widely used for food, pharmaceutical, biomedical and cosmetic industries. Gelatin has been prepared from different sources such as porcine skin, cattle bone, and fish. Depending on the type of acidic and alkali extraction processes, type of gelatin A and B are obtained, respectively. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the preparation of gelatin-based hydrogels. Furthermore, we evaluate their method of crosslinking through Schiff-base, Michael addition reaction, light, UV, chemical, and physical crosslinking. Moreover, due to the unique properties of gelatin, they have the ability to immobilize cells and can be applied for stem cell and drug delivery for biomedical applications.",
