Nanomaterials play a crucial role in tissue engineering by providing scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix, promoting cell adhesion, growth, and differentiation. For instance, carbon nanotubes and nanofibers can be used to create scaffolds that support the growth of various cell types, facilitating the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. These nanoscaffolds can be functionalized with growth factors and other bioactive molecules to enhance their biological activity.
