Description

Yanjiao Teng and co-authors survey, in a 2026 review, biomaterials that borrow intelligence from machines and designs from living things. Material development has passed through four eras. They run from inert implants to bioactive and degradable materials, then stimulus-responsive ones. Now come smart bionic materials shaped by AI, 4D printing, and sensing inside the body. The review organizes the frontier into responsive materials and materials copied from living things.

Manufacturing and testing platforms get attention. The platforms include 4D printing that molds materials dynamically, AI-driven design that screens candidates, and monitoring methods that feed back results from inside the body in real time. Clinical uses highlighted include precise drug delivery and tailored tissue-repair treatments. The authors close candidly. Complex material and body interfaces, long-term stability, and slow-moving regulation still block the road from laboratory success to routine care. Progress will demand cross-field teamwork.
