A novel photogelling mechanism by the phototriggered‐imine‐crosslinking (PIC) reaction is demonstrated. Hyaluronic acid grafted with o‐nitrobenzene, a photogenerated aldehyde group, can quickly photo‐crosslink with amino‐bearing polymers or proteins. Once the in situ photogelling on a wound occurs, the PIC gelling process can well integrate a hydrogel with surrounding tissue by covalent bonding, thus making it a powerful tool for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
