Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) are materials composed of or incorporating living cells as essential functional units. These can be created using bottom-up approaches, where engineered spontaneously form well-defined aggregates. Alternatively, top-down methods employ advanced science techniques to integrate with various kinds materials, creating hybrids and intricately combined. ELMs blend synthetic biology science, allowing for dynamic responses environmental stimuli such stress, pH, humidity, temperature, light. exhibit unique "living" properties, including self-healing, self-replication, adaptability, making them highly suitable a wide range applications in medicine, conservation, manufacturing. Their inherent biocompatibility ability undergo genetic modifications allow customized functionalities prolonged sustainability. This review highlights the transformative impact over recent decades, particularly healthcare protection. We discuss current preparation methods, use endogenous exogenous scaffolds, assembly, 3D bioprinting, electrospinning. Emphasis is placed on ongoing research technological advancements necessary enhance safety, functionality, practical applicability real-world contexts.
