Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering is the usage of a group of cells, engineering and materials means and proper biochemical and physicochemical factors to rise or replace biological tissues. Tissue engineering includes the usage of a scaffold for the making of innovative feasible tissue for a medical purpose. While it was once categorized as a sub-field of biomaterials, having settled in scope, importance and it can be considered as a field in its own. Nanotechnology has emerged as a groundbreaking tool in tissue engineering, offering unprecedented capabilities to manipulate materials at the nanoscale level (typically between 1 to 100 nanometers) for the development of advanced biomedical constructs. In tissue engineering, nanotechnology facilitates the design and fabrication of biomaterials with precise control over their physical, chemical, and biological properties, enabling the creation of scaffolds that closely mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native tissues.
