Biomaterials have evolved from inert materials that lack interaction with the body to
biologically active, instructive materials that host and provide signals to surrounding cells …

Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have given rise to a new form of
materials, namely engineered living materials (ELMs), which are composed of living matter …

Synthetic biology applies genetic tools to engineer living cells and organisms analogous to
the programming of machines. In materials synthetic biology, engineering principles from …

Living biological systems, ranging from single cells to whole organisms, can sense, process
information, and actuate in response to changing environmental conditions. Inspired by …

Skin diseases are the fourth leading cause of nonfatal and chronic skin diseases, acting as a
global burden and affecting the world economy. Skin diseases severely impact the patients' …

Lignin is one of the most abundant renewable resources on earth and is readily produced as
a sidestream during biomass fractioning. So far, these large quantities of lignin have been …

Light is a uniquely powerful tool for controlling molecular events in biology. No other
external input (eg, heat, ultrasound, magnetic field) can be so tightly focused or so highly …

The increasing prevalence of dry eye syndrome in aging and digital societies compromises
long‐term contact lens (CL) wear and forces users to regular eye drop instillation to alleviate …

It is often assumed that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stimulate neuronal differentiation by
transferring electrical signals and enhancing neuronal excitability. Given this, CNT–hydrogel …

Herein, a method that uses direct‐ink‐write printing to fabricate engineering living materials
(ELMs) that respond by undergoing a programmed shape change in response to specific …
