Bionanotechnology research has surged to the forefront of scientific innovation, propelling the exploration of cutting-edge technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration. Biomimicry, which harnesses nature's ingenuity, drives the development of novel research-based solutions in diverse fields such as vaccines, medicine, and biomedical devices. Nature's role is becoming increasingly pivotal in addressing complex challenges related to environmental conservation, human health, and pandemic preparedness, including those posed by SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging pathogens. Progress in this domain encompasses understanding nature´s mechanisms to develop advanced materials inspired by biological structures. Biomimetic innovations have the potential to revolutionize industries, reduce environmental impacts, and facilitate a more harmonious relationship between humans and nature while considering bioethics, underlining the necessity of conducting responsible research and implementing biomimetic advancements conscientiously. As biomimicry continues to grow, integrating ethical guidelines and policies will ensure these nature-inspired technologies' sustainable development and application, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and adaptive society. This mini-review article broadly overviews bionanotechnology applications based on natural examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
