materialtissue
Materialtissue is a concept at the intersection of materials science and biology that describes the dynamic interaction between synthetic or natural materials and living tissue. It focuses on how material properties such as chemistry, microstructure, and surface characteristics influence cellular responses, while the properties of tissue guide material design. The term is used in interdisciplinary discussions to capture systems in which scaffolds, implants, or interfaces are engineered to modulate tissue remodeling and function.
Design principles commonly considered in materialtissue work include biocompatibility, bioactivity, degradation behavior, mechanical compatibility with host
Research methods include in vitro cell assays, mechanical testing, imaging and spectroscopy, computational modeling, and in
Applications span regenerative medicine, orthopedic and dental implants, cardiovascular devices, and tissue models for drug testing.
Terminology for materialtissue is not standardized; some researchers treat it as a descriptive umbrella within biomaterials
