COVER STORY Polymer Symbiosis |
| Mother/foetus are in a foreign-body symbiosis, and they have achieved a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. On the other hand, although various functional materials such as biomedicals and biocompatible materials have been developed, a true symbiotic relationship between these non-self-materials and biology has not been achieved. Recently, the symbiosis between materials and biology has been defined as “Material Symbiosis”. It is becoming clear that the extracellular matrix (ECM), which was thought to be a simple scaffold, supports complex biological phenomena by providing cells with various information. In this special issue, the symbiotic relationship between polymer materials and biology is defined as “Polymer Symbiosis”. This special issue highlights studies of “Polymer Symbiosis”.
