AB This review focuses on novel applications based on multifunctional materials to actuatebiological processes. The first section of the work revisits the current knowledge on mechanicallydependent biological processes across several scales from subcellular and cellular level to the cellcollectivescale (continuum approaches). This analysis presents a wide variety of mechanicallydependent biological processes on nervous system behaviour; bone development and healing;collective cell migration. In the second section, this review presents recent advances in smartmaterials suitable for use as cell substrates or scaffolds, with a special focus on magneto-activepolymers (MAPs). Throughout the manuscript, both experimental and computational methodologiesapplied to the different treated topics are reviewed. Finally, the use of smart polymeric materials inbioengineering applications is discussed.
