Hybrid Living Materials: Digital Design and Fabrication of 3D Multimaterial Structures with Programmable Biohybrid Surfaces
May 29, 2023
Living cells host a diverse and extensive repertoire of processes that, if functionalized, would have
extraordinary value as synthetic tools.[1–4] Yet, beyond the confines of industrial bioreactors, there are
limited examples of how bioengineers can utilize the functionalities of living cells reliably, at
macroscopic length scales, or outside of cells’ natural environments. At present, the field of biohybrid
materials combines living and non-living components with the objective of harnessing the capabilities
of biological systems within structural materials
Welcome message from author
Living cells integrated into biohybrid walls,[6–9] biohybrid fibers,[10–12] and bio-bots[13–16] provide early examples of how such fabrications can enable a new class of uniquely responsive and multifunctional products.
