Abstract

Biohybrid materials are proceeded by integrating living cells and non-living materials to endow materials with biomimetic properties and functionalities by supporting cell proliferation and even enhancing cell functions. Due to the outstanding biocompatibility and programmability, biohybrid materials provide some promising strategies to overcome current problems in the biomedical field. Here, we review the concept and unique features of biohybrid materials by comparing them with conventional materials. We emphasize the structure design of biohybrid materials and discuss the structure-function relationships. We also enumerate the application aspects of biohybrid materials in biomedical frontiers. We believe this review will bring various opportunities to promote the communication between cell biology, material sciences, and medical engineering.
