Biomaterials

Biomaterials are natural or synthetic substances designed for use in medical applications, such as implants, drug delivery systems, or tissue engineering. They interact with biological systems without causing harm. In materials chemistry, these materials are engineered for specific properties like strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility. Cellular biophysics studies how these materials behave at the cellular level, focusing on interactions with cells and tissues. Overall, biomaterials play a crucial role in improving healthcare by enabling technologies that support healing, replace damaged tissues, or deliver therapies effectively.
