Recent advancements in biomedical engineering have shed light on the remarkable capabilities of self‐healing hydrogels, particularly those derived from chitosan (CHS) or its derivatives. These hydrogels exhibit noteworthy properties such as (SH), biocompatibility, and responsiveness to various stimuli like pressure, temperature, pH. Recently, different therapeutic approaches, especially gene therapy chemotherapy, been explored through incorporation CHS‐based with agents. Despite their promise, clinical application CHS has limited owing an inadequate combination physical chemical properties, resulting uncontrolled swelling suboptimal SH behavior, terms mechanical properties. This comprehensive review will explore mechanistic understanding functionalized CHS, shedding ability offer desired while enhancing behavior. are crucial for applications tissue wound management. aims serve a guide emphasizing potential addressing diverse challenges field engineering.
