Abstract (original English)

Methylcellulose is a semi-flexible cellulose ether derivative, whose hydrogels are thermosensitive and reversible, with good biocompatibility and adjustable function, and its application has attracted much attention in the biomedical field. In this paper, the application of methylcellulose-based thermo-sensitive hydrogels in biomedical field was reviewed. Based on the mechanism of gelation and influencing factors of methylcellulose, this paper focused on the recent advances in biomedical applications of methylcellulose-based hydrogels, including drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and other related fields. The current achievements in these fields were summarized in the form of lists in this paper to provide ideas and tendencies for future research. Finally, the future development of multifunctional methylcellulose-based hydrogel materials with improved performance was also discussed.
