Biomaterials are substances that have been engineered to interact with biological systems for medical purposes, such as therapeutic or diagnostic applications. These materials are typically used in the fields of medicine and biology to replace or augment natural tissues and organs. Biomaterials can be synthetic or natural and are designed to be compatible with living tissues, minimizing adverse reactions such as inflammation or rejection.
Examples of biomaterials include: Metals, Polymers, Ceramics, Biological Materials, Composite Materials etc.
Biosystems refer to complex systems composed of living organisms or biological components, including cells, tissues, organs, and organisms themselves, as well as their interactions with each other and their environment. These systems exhibit dynamic behaviors and often display emergent properties that arise from the interactions of their constituent parts.
Examples of biosystems include: Cellular Systems, Tissue Systems, Organ Systems, Organisms, Ecosystems.
