Everything about Cytocompatibility
Biological property of materials
Cytocompatibility refers to the ability of a material, surface, or substance to support cellular activity and viability without causing cytotoxic effects. It is a fundamental concept in biomaterials science, particularly in the development of medical devices, tissue engineering scaffolds, drug delivery systems, and cell encapsulation technologies.
