Hydrogels are known for their high water retention capacity and biocompatibility have become essential materials in tissue engineering drug delivery systems. This review explores recent advancements hydrogel technology, focusing on innovative types such as self-healing, tough, smart, hybrid hydrogels, each engineered to overcome the limitations of conventional hydrogels. Self-healing hydrogels can autonomously repair structural damage, making them well-suited applications dynamic biomedical environments. Tough designed with enhanced mechanical properties, enabling use load-bearing cartilage regeneration. Smart respond external stimuli, including changes pH, temperature, electromagnetic fields, ideal controlled release tailored specific medical needs. Hybrid made from both natural synthetic polymers, combine bioactivity resilience, which is particularly valuable complex tissues. Despite these innovations, challenges optimizing biocompatibility, adjusting degradation rates, scaling up production remain. provides an in-depth analysis emerging technologies, highlighting transformative potential while outlining future directions development applications.
