| Summary: | Convergent advances in the fields of synthetic chemistry, soft matter, molecular self-assembly, and the -omics era point to a new generation of synthetic biomaterials that are indistinguishable in form and function from biological matter. Such living biomaterials comprise a “Holy Grail” of the chemical sciences that will transform both modern medicine and materials design. |
