Despite continuous technological improvements, ionizing radiation inevitably causes damage to surrounding healthy tissues, leading to acute and chronic complications affecting multiple organs, including the skin, mucosa, heart, lungs, bones and gastrointestinal tract. Radiation-induced injuries significantly impair patients\u2019 quality of life, limit therapeutic doses, and represent a major unmet clinical challenge. Hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials for managing radiation-induced damage due to their high content of water, tunable mechanics, and ability to mimic the extracellular matrix. Recent innovations have introduced functional systems, including stimuli-responsive, injectable, and bioactive hydrogels, capable of delivering antioxidants, growth factors, or living cells. Unlike traditional material-based reviews, this work proposes a novel classification framework based on the hydrogel\u2019s mechanism of action within the pathophysiology of radiation injury. We evaluate how specific designs, such as ROS-scavenging matrices, barrier-forming injectable shields, and bioactive delivery vehicles, address distinct phases of inflammation and fibrosis. By providing a comprehensive overview of radiation-induced injuries across different organs, this review summarizes current hydrogel-based strategies for both prevention and therapy. We highlight the potential of these mechanistically aligned systems to protect healthy tissues, suppress chronic inflammation, and promote effective tissue regeneration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/gels12050450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]],"date-time":"2026-05-20T14:12:54Z","timestamp":1779286374000},"page":"450","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Hydrogels for Healing Radiation-Injured Tissues and Organs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9370-168X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Paw\u0142owski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kinga","family":"S\u0142omska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4991-8005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Telszewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcel Hubert","family":"Pilarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9199-7584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamil","family":"Klimkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0518-0162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Witkowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1099-8885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"El\u017cbieta","family":"Jankowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Biomedical Chemistry, University of Gdansk, Wita Stwosza 63, 80-308 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ho, T.C., Chang, C.C., Chan, H.P., Chung, T.W., Shu, C.W., Chuang, K.P., Duh, T.H., Yang, M.H., and Tyan, Y.C.
