Topic > Nanotechnologies For Regenerative Medicine - 521

Regenerative medicine aims at the preservation and development of organ function. Tissue modification is achieved by connecting living cells with materials that function as scaffolds to support cell generation. Nanotechnology is the means that powers the material structure that simulates the biological one and also provides a direct delivery system. The functionality of nanotechnology for regenerative medicine is mainly due to its small unit size according to the International System of Units, a nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The size of the unit allows the technological apparatus to navigate the bloodstream and target and repair damaged cells in tissues. Tissue engineering uses nanotechnology for tissue regeneration to repair damaged tissue. To be successful, tissue engineering uses two different methods: in vivo or in vitro regeneration of living tissue. Both methods use nanoscale scaffolds loaded with cells to regenerate a damaged cell in the organ system. The scaffold can also be loaded with different molecules to aid cell function...
