Biology:Biofunctionalisation

From HandWiki

In the field of bioengineering, biofunctionalisation (or biofunctionalization) is the modification of a material to have biological function and/or stimulus, whether permanent or temporary, while at the same time being biologically compatible.[1][2][3] Various types of medical implants are designed to biofunctionalize so that they can replace or repair a defective biological function [4] and are accepted by the host organism.[5][6]
