Nanotechnological Approaches in Tissue Repair and Regeneration
摘要
Nanotechnology allows to develop novel and smart biomaterials and nanostructures with potential clinical applications; they have been popular in regenerative medicine. Nanosized materials can imitate, support, or perhaps invent in vivo tissue restoration techniques. The hunt for suitable materials to build a scaffold that might actively aid in regeneration as opposed to serving only as a cell carrier or tissue template has generated a great deal of research. Due to their flexible design, tiny size, high surface-to-volume ratio, and simplicity of surface modification, nanomaterials have several advantages as therapeutic and diagnostic instruments. In reality, significant developments in the areas of cell treatment, cell delivery, and tissue engineering have already been made in the last ten years. This chapter investigates the most recent developments in research and talks about the viability of cell and/or tissue healing devices. This study emphasizes recent developments in the use of nanoengineered scaffolds created to replace or restore the following tissues: (i) skin; (ii) cartilage; (iii) bone; (iv) nerve; and (v) cardiac. It focuses on the application of nanotechnology in tissue engineering research.
