Meta-biomaterials are engineered materials whose properties are determined not by their chemical composition, but by their internal architecture. This allows researchers to design structures with carefully tuned mechanical, morphological and mass-transport properties. Such control is particularly valuable in biomedical engineering, where materials need to do more than simply replace damaged tissue. They must also interact with cells and actively support tissue regeneration.
