Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have given rise to a new form of materials, namely engineered living (ELMs), which are composed matter or cell communities embedded self-regenerating matrices their own artificial scaffolds. Like natural such as bone, wood, skin, ELMs, possess the functional capabilities organisms, can grow, self-organize, self-repair when needed. They also spontaneously perform programmed biological functions upon sensing external cues. Currently, ELMs show promise for green energy production, bioremediation, disease treatment, fabricating advanced smart materials. This review first introduces dynamic features systems potential developing novel We then summarize recent research progress on emerging design strategies from both perspectives. Finally, we discuss positive impacts promoting sustainability key future directions.

Fabrication of functional scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications requires material systems with precise control over cellular performance. 3D printing is a powerful technique to create highly complex multicomponent structures well-defined architecture composition. In this review paper, we explore extrusion-based methods (EBP, i.e., Near Field Electrospinning (NFES), Melt Electrowriting (MEW), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), extrusion bioprinting) in terms their ability produce bio-instructive properties. These provide spatio-temporal guidance cells, allowing controlled regeneration maturation. Multiple physical biochemical cues introduced the EBP are evaluated direct cell alignment, proliferation, differentiation, specific ECM production, We indicate that have different impacts depending on system, type used, or coexistence multiple cues. Therefore, they must be carefully chosen based targeted application. propose future directions materials development, including such concepts as metamaterials, hybrid living materials, 4D printing. The gathers knowledge essential designing new response, fabrication advanced engineered tissue, developing better understanding biology, especially response biomaterial.

Here, a concept catalytic process for forming protective nano‐shells on individual probiotic demonstrated. This leveraged by cell environment induce oxidative polymerization phenolic compounds, simultaneously these polymers assemble form nano‐coatings around surfaces. detailed analysis reveals oxidation triggered essential nutrient (manganese) cells, which significantly increases rate compounds. coatings, encapsulating each in nanometre scale, demonstrate excellent biocompatibility biodegradability. Additionally, situ encapsulated display improved gastric tolerance up ≈1.4 times higher than native adhesion as high ≈1.6 onto model intestinal epithelial cells. Finally, coated exhibit antioxidant activity feature. Overall, this method provides unique approach improve delivery using machinery engineer nanocoatings benefits new functionalities.
