Revolutionizing Regeneration: Bio-Based Nanomaterials in Tissue Engineering

Nanotechnological science encompasses the development and production of newer nanomaterials. The utilization of these nanomaterials has driven substantial progress in a wide range of fields, including bioengineering and environmental science. Bio-derived nanomaterials and their composites have gained considerable interest due to their eco-friendly nature, renewable characteristics, minimized carbon footprint, and abundant presence within our ecosystem. Given these distinctive attributes of nanomaterials, certain composites can be custom-designed and refined for potential applications in tissue engineering. This chapter primarily focuses on the current trends in research in tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds crafted from biological nanomaterials. It introduces the characteristics, fabrication methods, and TE applications of various bio-based nanomaterials. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and possibilities presented by the use of these biomaterials in the field of TE. This chapter also offers a fresh perspective on creating functional bio-nanomaterials for a wide variety of biomedical applications.
