Biofunctionalisation

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 are accepted by the host organism[4][5] to replace or repair a defective biological function.[6]
