Abstract:

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the main component of polyphenols in tea. In recent years, many studies
have proved that drinking green tea can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and various cancers. At the same time, some scholars say that green tea also has a potential preventive effect on COVID-19. In recent years, materials science has developed rapidly, and many studies have synthesized materials that bind to EGCG. In this paper, the preventive and therapeutic effects of EGCG in diseases were reviewed, and the application of each effect in the modification of tissue engineering materials was discussed.
