How does Nanotechnology contribute to Tissue Engineering?
Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in tissue engineering by providing materials that mimic the extracellular matrix at the nanoscale. Nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanocomposites can be used to create scaffolds that support cell growth and tissue regeneration. These nanomaterials can also be functionalized with growth factors and other bioactive molecules to enhance cell proliferation and differentiation. This approach holds great promise for developing artificial organs and repairing damaged tissues.
