We introduce a novel classification framework that organizes these metastructures from simple to complex and from static to dynamic, encompassing a broad range of structural designs. This structural-based classification emphasizes that it is the structure, rather than the material composition, that primarily defines the unique mechanical and biological properties of these materials. Furthermore, we discuss the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in advancing the design of mechanical bio-metamaterials, facilitating forward and inverse design approaches, additive manufacturing, and predictive modeling. By establishing the term “mechanical bio-metamaterials,” this review connects structural design to biomedical applications in four key areas: engineered microenvironments, tissue implants, external devices, and invasive devices. This holistic approach aims to create accessible insights for a diverse audience, bridging engineering and clinical perspectives and illustrating how these metastructures influence cellular, tissue and organ behaviors.

Over the past decade, significant strides have been made in BMgS research, particularly in material science, advanced manufacturing techniques, and surface modifications.

As natural redox mediators and electron conductors, HAs facilitate microbial metabolism and enhance redox efficiency through direct and indirect pathways. Furthermore, in bioelectrochemical systems, HAs serve as effective electrode modifiers or electron transfer enhancers, improving charge storage and transport efficiency.
