Literature Review on the Application of Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering

Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, grade: 1, Egerton University (Public Health), course: Medical technology, language: English, abstract: Over the past few decades, the field of tissue engineering seems to have been receiving extensive attention due to its rapid growth. Nanobiotechnology has solved the existing challenge in tissue engineering using the contemporary therapies including poor vascularization of cells, low anatomical integrity of engineered cells/or tissues, immunological incompatibility with the host, and lack of functional cells. Therefore, this paper provides a systematic review of literature on the application of nanotechnology in tissue engineering.
