"Live" Nanomaterials Process Biomimetic Recognition and Assembly In Vivo

The biomimetic strategy has been widely used in multiple fields, and provides huge convenience to human life. For biomedical application in vivo, the importance of biomimetic materials lies on mimicking the natural process/behavior as well as mimicking the structure/ingredient. Herein, recent advances of materials processing biomimetic recognition and assembly behavior for in vivo applications, including the natural source materials and artificial materials, are summarized. The biological processes are divided as recognition and assembly as well as recognition and self-amplifying assembly. Finally, to conclude, the application of recognition and assembly process-biomimetic materials in vivo in the future is discussed. Recent advances of materials processing biomimetic recognition and assembly behavior for in vivo applications, including the natural source materials and artificial materials, have been summarized.
