Developing and healing tissues begin as a cellular condensation. Spatiotemporal changes in tissue geometry, transformations the spatial distribution of cells extracellular matrix, are essential for its evolution into functional tissue. 4D materials, 3D materials capable geometric changes, may have potential to recreate aforementioned biological phenomenon. However, most reported non-degradable and/or not biocompatible, which limits their application regenerative medicine, date there no...
