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