ability of a material to safely interact with cells

Cytocompatibility refers to the ability of a material to interact with cells without causing harmful effects. In simpler terms, it's about how well a material can coexist with living cells, which is crucial for medical implants, tissue engineering, and other biomedical applications. For instance, when developing a new scalp treatment for alopecia, ensuring the cytocompatibility of the treatment means it won't damage the hair follicles or surrounding skin cells.
