  "term": "Hybrid artificial organ",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An artificial organ that combines synthetic materials with living biological components, such as cells or tissues, to mimic the function of a natural organ. These devices aim to overcome the limitations of purely synthetic implants by incorporating biological activity. Examples include bioartificial livers or pancreases that integrate living cells within a polymer scaffold.",
