Entirely new advanced and adaptive materials might be the route to more active detecting, monitoring and treating the diseases as synthetic biology develops. The hybryd/synthetic materials are still at very early stages, but there are already areas in healthcare where such materials can be used. For example, a device that could report a disease state in the body and trigger drug delivery to that site would revolutionize therapy. At the University of Nottingham, UK, scientists are investigating ways to encode dynamic behaviour into artificial system, drawing inspiration from nature's own responsive materials.
