Tissue Regeneration and Nanotechnology

The use of nanotechnology in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is increasing day by day because nanostructures can mimic tissue-specific bio environments by designing constructs with particular biochemical, mechanical and electrical properties. A porous scaffold serves as both substrate and support for tissue growth .The main reason for the use of scaffold is biocompatibility hence avoiding inhibition of cell growth and allowing proper regeneration of the tissue. The scaffold must  be fabricated into a three dimensional porous structure for tissue formation, which promotes cell growth and differentiation.
