A biomaterial refers to any substance, whether naturally occurring or synthetic, designed to integrate with biological systems while serving, supporting, or substituting natural bodily functions for medical purposes. These materials can serve passive roles, like artificial heart valves, or exhibit bioactive properties that actively interact with tissues, such as cellular scaffolding for tissue regeneration or as carriers for controlled drug release.
