Abstract: Preparation and performances of γ-polyglutamic acid(γ-PGA) hydrogel were introduced systematically in this paper, including biodegradability, high water absorption and moisture retention, pH sensitivity, biocompatibility and modifiability. A comprehensive review of γ-PGA hydrogel in tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound healing and other applications was given. In addition, combined with the work of the authors, the future development of γ-PGA hydrogel was prospected.
