Collagen Nanoparticles in Drug Delivery Systems and Tissue Engineering

Abstract: The versatile natural polymer, collagen, has gained vast attention in biomedicine. Due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, weak antigenicity, biomimetics and well-known safety profile, it is widely used as a drug, protein and gene carrier, and as a scaffold matrix in tissue engineering. Nanoparticles develop favorable chemical and physical properties such as increased drug half-life, improved hydrophobic drug solubility and controlled and targeted drug release. Their reduced toxicity, controllable chara… Show more

“…Nano collagen can be used for a variety of improvements and treatments, such as bone grafting, drug delivery, nerve tissue formation, vascular grafting, articular cartilage regeneration, cosmetics, and wound healing [ 21 , 22 , 36 ]. It is clear that nano collagen is a progressed type of nanotechnology; thus, further investigation must be attempted to advance this technology with the expectation that, in the future, nano collagen scaffolds will be more widely available [ 37 ].…”

“…It accounts for more than 30% of all body proteins. Due to numerous advantages such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-immunogenicity, non-toxicity, tensile strength, low antigenicity, extensibility, and accessibility, it plays an essential role in the synthesis of nanoparticles in various biomedical fields, especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering [ 136 , 137 , 138 ]. Biodegradable and thermally stable collagen nanoparticles are suitable nanocarriers for many therapeutic and cytotoxic substances, genes, proteins, growth factors, and drugs.…”

“…In regenerative processes, collagen-based biomatrix imitates scaffolds that fulfill structural and mechanical functions thus favoring the reconstruction of damaged organs and tissues. Importantly, the introduction of collagen into composite biomaterials increases the effectiveness of such materials in regenerative processes, their ability to combine with growth factors, and also enables intracellular transmission and stabilization of cellular components due to which such composite plays a role of a physical structure supporting the regeneration processes [ 34 , 35 ].…”
