Hydrogels are attractive materials for designing sensors, catalysts, scaffolds for tissue engineering, stimuli responsive soft materials, and controlled-release drug delivery systems. In recent years, self-assembly of guanosine and its derivatives has received immense interests for devising programmable supramolecular biomaterials including hydrogels. This perspective highlights some of the history and the recent developments of guanosine-based supramolecular hydrogels and their applications. Future prospects and scope of the guanosine-based hydrogels have also been discussed.
