Abstract

The principles of organisation and functioning of complex biological objects have inspired the development of new materials and systems in engineering, electronics, design, chemistry and other fields. Two major areas of biological applications of biomimetic systems are delivery of therapeutic and imaging agents and tissue engineering, both of which are described below. Biomimetic drug delivery systems can imitate the structure and functions of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells or viruses by reproducing their morphology, mechanical properties and characteristic molecular traits. In tissue engineering, the biomimetic approach is essentially indispensable for reproducing natural tissues and organs in order to restore the organism functionality lost as a result of either trauma or disease.
