Abstract
Nanotechnologists have become involved in regenerative medicine via creation
of biomaterials and nanostructures with potential clinical implications. Their aim is to
develop systems that can mimic, reinforce or even create in vivo tissue repair strategies. In
fact, in the last decade, important advances in the field of tissue engineering, cell therapy
and cell delivery have already been achieved. In this review, we will delve into the latest
research advances and discuss whether cell and/or tissue repair devices are a possibility.
Focusing on the application of nanotechnology in tissue engineering research, this review
highlights recent advances in the application of nano-engineered scaffolds designed to
replace or restore the followed tissues: (i) skin; (ii) cartilage; (iii) bone; (iv) nerve; and (v) cardiac.
