biomaterials
Biomaterials are engineered biological substances designed to interact with living systems for medical, diagnostic, or material applications. In plant science, this field encompasses the development of plant-based and plant-derived materials that leverage botanical tissues and compounds for innovative applications. This research is valuable because it enables the creation of sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to synthetic materials while advancing our understanding of how plant biochemistry can be repurposed for emerging technologies.
