Abstract: The preparation of methacrylamide gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel and its application in biomedicine is a research hotspot in the past decade. Due to its unique photocrosslinking properties, GelMA hydrogel can be processed into hydrogel scaffolds with different morphologies, with controlled mechanical properties and degradation properties, and excellent biocompatibility, making them a biopolymer material with broad application prospects. This paper mainly introduces the research progress of GelMA hydrogel in the fields of hemostatic materials, wound dressings, tissue engineering scaffolds, drug release, and bone defect repair.

Key words: methacrylamide gelatin, hydrogel, biomedical materials, tissue engineering
