Better Tissue Engineering Materials through the Use of Nanotechnology

Abstract:

Nanotechnology is defined as the use of materials with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Although nanotechnology has revolutionized many fields to date, it use in medical applications remains at it infancy. This manuscript describes recent promising studies made towards increasing tissue regeneration through the use of nano compared to conventional materials.
